The next day, Zeng Wenjuan slept late. She got up from the bed in a hurry, put on her clothes and waders, and went outside with her backpack, sickle and other tools.

"Nannan! Take this egg with you and eat it slowly on the way. It won't take too long anyway. Everyone has problems at home that might take up some time. Don't worry!" Chen Yintang came out of the kitchen and gave Zeng Wenjuan a lunch box and a kettle full of water.

After hearing what Chen Yitang said, Zeng Wenjuan turned around and took the breakfast handed to her. She smiled and said to Chen Yitang, "Dad, thank you. I feel much more relaxed with you taking care of me during this period of time."

"These are what I should do," Chen Yitang said with a smile, and watched Zeng Wenjuan's back.

As soon as she arrived at the assigned field, Zeng Wenjuan saw a man working in the field. Zeng Wenjuan frowned slightly and asked: "Did he go to the wrong field?"

When I got closer, I saw Zhao Hongtiao helping in the field. She put down her backpack and said, "Hongtiao, why are you here? Go and do your own thing! You didn't sleep well last night because you were taking care of Hongqi."

"Well, I'll go back now." After Zhao Hongshao finished cutting the rice at his feet, he stood up and smiled and said, "When I came here, I saw that you hadn't come yet, so I thought you must have gotten up late, so I came back to help you with something."

"Thank you," Zeng Wenjuan did not act pretentiously. Friends must interact with each other, otherwise it would be difficult to maintain the friendship.

At the same time, Lin Baixiang rode his bicycle quickly towards Shuitou Village. In the middle of the night, he received a call from the military district. It was Zeng Yike who called. She said, "A regiment commander in the military district has been injured. Only Chen Yitang can perform that kind of surgery. Please notify him immediately. I will arrange a ticket for him now."

"But Lao Chen is not in the county town now, he is still in the village. It will take some time to notify him." Lin Baixiang also knew how urgent the matter was, so he hung up the phone and rode his bicycle to the village.

Lin Baixiang saw that there was no one in the village, and he had no chance to find anyone to ask for directions. Fortunately, he saw a group of children playing, so he walked over with a smile. The children saw him as if they had seen something dirty and ran away in a swarm.

Just when Lin Baixiang was completely puzzled, the children came back again. Lin Baixiang took out some candies from his pocket and said to them with a smile, "Come here... kids, I'll give you some candies..." Before Lin Baixiang finished speaking, several children started crying, "Wow... Grandma, there's a kidnapper, and he wants to use candies to trick us away." One of the children shouted towards the house behind.

The next second, several old ladies rushed out of the house with brooms and hoes. They said angrily: "How dare you come to our village to kidnap children? I will beat you to death for having no conscience."

Fortunately, Lin Baixiang dodged quickly, otherwise he would have been embarrassed. He quickly explained: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am not a kidnapper. I came to your village to look for someone. Do you know where Chen Yitang lives? His daughter, Zeng Wenjuan, is also from your village. His family wants to see him for something, so I came to look for him."

Several ladies looked at each other, and then one of them asked, "Are you really here to look for someone?"

"Really, there is no such thing as lying about this! If I were to lie to a few ladies, you would find out very quickly." Lin Baixiang said very seriously.

Several ladies nodded. That was true, but they still had concerns. One lady said, "I can take you there to find someone, but if you do anything else, we won't just sit there and do nothing. We will definitely make you pay."

"Of course. I really am here to look for someone." Lin Baixiang said again.

The aunts and the children took Lin Baixiang to Zeng Wenjuan's house. As soon as they arrived at the door, Lin Baixiang shouted into the house: "Old Chen, are you home?"

Chen Yitang, who was teaching Goudan to learn medicinal herbs in the house, was dazed for a moment when he heard the voice. He thought he had misheard. But when he walked out and saw Lin Baixiang, he smiled and said, "Old Lin, why are you here? What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Your wife called you and said that someone at her place was injured and only you can take care of it. She needs you to go back quickly." Lin Baixiang quickly stated the purpose of his trip.

Chen Yitang frowned. If he could find the wound on him, it must be a very serious one. But he couldn't go back now! He said to Lin Baixiang: "I will go to the county town with you to see what's going on. If I can get other people to come, I won't go back. If not, I will buy a ticket and leave today."

When the lady next to him heard what Chen Yitang said, she immediately pulled Goudan away from him and said to herself, "You can leave by yourself, but you can't take any of our Shuitou Village children with you."

"Okay, I'll trouble you ladies then." Chen Yitang went back into the house. When he came out, he took out some peach cakes and White Rabbit milk candies: "Share these snacks among you children. Goudan ate two candies today, so he can't eat more, but he can have one and a half peach cakes."

The children looked at the adults and then at each other, and no one dared to move. Goudan took the snacks from Chen Baitang and shared them among the children: "These snacks are bought by my grandpa for me. I eat them every day. They are delicious. This White Rabbit candy tastes as good as milk."

The children looked at the snacks in their hands and couldn't wait to unwrap the candy wrappers and put the candies into their mouths. Their families only told them not to eat things from strangers, but they didn't tell them not to eat snacks given by other children. When they put the candies into their mouths, the children were conquered by the White Rabbit Milk Candy.

"Goudan, can you really eat this White Rabbit milk candy every day? You are so lucky!" It was the first time for Maodan to eat such a delicious snack. He was a little envious of Goudan.

Goudan nodded without lying: "Yeah, since my grandpa came home, I can eat it every day, but grandpa said that eating too much sugar will cause tooth decay, so I can only eat one a day."

Chen Yitang saw that Goudan got along well with the other children. He bent down and asked, "Goudan, grandpa is going to the county town. Do you want to go find your mother or play with these kids?"

"Grandpa, will you come back?" Goudan felt that it was great to have a grandpa. He could eat many snacks he had never eaten before, and someone would tell him stories.
