Dai Ping'an was a little reserved, like an awkward old child, as he looked at Su Luo and asked, "Xiaoyu, Grandpa still wants to eat. You won't mind if Grandpa eats too much, will you?"

If Su Luo says she dislikes it, he'll probably be upset.

Su Luo smiled and shook her head.

Liu Xiaohua couldn't help but smile and said, "Being able to eat is a blessing. I'll go get him some more. A'Luo, you eat too."

Being able to eat means you're healthy; being able to eat isn't a problem, not being able to eat is.

There isn't enough meat and fish at home, but noodles are always available.

After lunch, Liu Xiaohua and the others started preparing the stew.

Su Dahai returned home after wandering around for half a day and found an elderly person in his house. After asking about the situation, he didn't pay any more attention to it.

Because that old man's eyes were always on Su Luo or Su Tiantian, and he acted as if he couldn't see or hear anyone else.

Around 2 p.m., Su Chengguo returned with the police.

After registering the person, they should have taken them to the police station for care.

But as soon as they pulled, Dai Ping'an began to struggle and shout, "Xiaoyu, Grandpa finally found you, Grandpa won't leave..."

Even though memory is confused after amnesia, the reactions etched in the soul cannot be forgotten, and separation cannot be accepted.

"Grandpa, we are police officers. We will help you find your family and take you home. Please trust us!"

The police officers patiently comforted Dai Ping'an, explaining that serving the people was their duty.

Dai Ping'an kept looking at Su Luo, his eyes gradually glistening with tears.

He was an old man, and no matter how strong he was, he couldn't outmatch a well-trained policeman.

"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu..."

Dai Ping'an's heartbroken cries were deeply distressing to hear.

Su Luo couldn't bear to watch.

Su Luo turned her head away, feeling uneasy.

Grandpa Dai had been by her side the whole time. He helped her with the rocking chair, groomed her hair, and occasionally mentioned the names of medicinal herbs that she didn't understand, asking her if she remembered them.

Seeing him struggling and crying, begging the police to let him go, Su Luo finally couldn't help but chase after him: "Officer, wait a minute..."

“This old gentleman is sick. Anyway, his family will be here soon, so it’s fine for him to stay at my house.”

Su Luo realized she had acted impulsively after she finished speaking. She looked at Su Dahai, Liu Xiaohua, her brother and sister-in-law.

“A-Luo is right. It’s the same if his family comes to pick him up. It’s so pitiful to see him crying like this. He’s so old, and his emotions are so volatile. What if something happens to him…”

Zhou Chunmei also felt distressed and understood Su Luo's reaction very well. If it were her, she would not have been able to hold back either.

Because if I don't speak up, I'll suffer for the rest of my life. Regardless of whether my family objects, I should at least try.

"Staying at home temporarily is fine too. We'll see this through to the end, and support them to the very end."

Su Dahai nodded.

Su Chenggong and Su Chengguo both nodded.

Liu Xiaohua held Su Luo's hand to reassure her, and everyone looked at the four police officers who were about to take Dai Ping'an away.

Dai Ping'an's hair was completely white. He cried very sadly, his hands trembling as he clasped his hands together and pleaded, "I don't want to be separated from Xiaoyu. If we are separated, I won't be able to find her."

"Since you don't mind the trouble, that's perfect. Even if he goes back to the police station, he'll still cause trouble."

The police officer sighed and, unable to bear holding Dai Ping'an any longer, let go of his hand.

Dai Ping'an staggered towards Su Luo, grabbed her hand, and cried, "Xiao Yu, Grandpa has been looking for you for so long... Grandpa isn't greedy, Grandpa just wants to see you a few more times. Please don't send Grandpa away, Grandpa has been locked up for so long, Grandpa doesn't have many chances to come see you anymore, Grandpa will leave on his own in a few days..."

"Grandpa, I won't send you away. Let's go home. Don't cry... You can test my studies again and see if I pass!"

Su Luo's eyes reddened, and she quickly comforted Dai Ping'an.

Dai Ping'an's emotions came and went quickly; like a child, he didn't remember the punishment. He immediately stopped crying and nodded with a smile.

Liu Xiaohua sighed and asked Su Chengguo, "He always calls A Luo Xiaoyu Xiaoyu. Is his granddaughter Xiaoyu lost?"

"Mom, he didn't get lost, he passed away. His grand-disciple has been taking care of him. He's trying to forget the painful things, so he's seizing this opportunity to find his granddaughter. But his grand-disciple hasn't given up and is also looking for the old man..."

Su Chengguo couldn't help but sigh. This old man Dai was always being taken care of by his grand-disciple because he was mentally unstable, so they had to keep an eye on him and not let him run away.

But Grandpa Dai isn't a criminal. He'll try every means to escape. Even if his grand-disciple is extremely careful, there are times when he can't prevent it. From anyone's perspective, he's right.

The reason for looking after the old man was for his own good, but from the old man's perspective, he was restricted from even wanting to go see his granddaughter. It's really pitiful to think about.

Liu Xiaohua felt sorry for them too. The saddest thing in the world is being separated from the person you love by death.

Dai Ping'an quickly forgot his earlier sadness and followed Su Luo around, helping her with her tasks. He soon became happy again.

As it was getting dark, Liu, the fish collector, arrived with his wife and children.

"Uncle Su, Aunt Su, I can smell the delicious aroma from far away. I'm in for a treat today. Thank you for your hard work."

As soon as Liu entered, he greeted everyone with a smile.

"Hello, sister-in-law. Hello, little sister."

Liu, who was collecting fish, greeted Zhou Chunmei, Li Xue, and Su Luo.

Li Meiyun greeted them and immediately went to see Su Tiantian.

"She grows up so fast, she looks different every day, and she's even cuter and more radiant every time I see her."

Li Meiyun looked at Su Tiantian, and Su Tiantian smiled at her again, making Li Meiyun's heart melt.

Li Meiyun has three children: one son and two daughters.

Her daughter has dark skin and boyish hair. Both daughters are already in school and are always fighting with one another, which gives her a terrible headache.

The son, on the other hand, was very well-behaved. He came over, glanced at Su Tiantian, and then sat down obediently.

"Time to eat, time to eat."

Liu Xiaohua called out with a smile.

There are many people today, so we set up tables in the yard.

Upon seeing the elderly man, Liu, the fishmonger, inquired about what had happened to Su Chengguo.

Su Chengguo then explained that he had fabricated a lie about the elderly man's identity, claiming that the elderly man himself had said it.

After all, he wouldn't tell anyone about what happened at sea except his family.

Liu, the fishmonger, raised his glass: "A toast to you all! Doing good deeds will bring you wealth!"

The Su family is of impeccable character; you have nothing to worry about when you associate with them.

"Brother Liu, how are my wife's, sister-in-law's, and my mom's cooking skills?"

Su Chengguo smiled and asked Liu, the fishmonger.

"You child, you have no manners, you're out of line!"

Liu Xiaohua shook her head helplessly.

Liu, the fishmonger, winked at Su Chengguo, then took a bite of braised pork and a bite of rice before commenting, "Auntie and sister-in-law's cooking skills are naturally superb. Apart from my wife, no one can cook as well as you."

Li Meiyun laughed after hearing this, and said cheerfully, "You're just bragging. No one can out-brag you!"
