"So, after I'm gone, could you please, for Nizi's sake!" Old Man Fan said, using all his remaining strength, "take care of these children."
Lu Zhixia quickly said, "We will take care of you. We will find someone to treat your illness. You will live to be a hundred years old."
Old Man Fan was assured and laughed happily; he could now die in peace.
Because kind people like him will not be let down, and neither will they, nor will he.
That night, the firewood outside burned out, and Lu Zhixia and Erni talked a lot, getting to know each other better.
They said goodbye and left just before dawn.
Erni escorted them to the intersection, waved goodbye, watched them get into the car, and then the car slowly drove away and disappeared from sight.
Tiger: "Why don't you go back with me?"
Erni turned and walked back, saying, "Grandpa can't do without my care, I can't go back."
Tiger, "Will you go back in the future?"
Erni looked at him, "Do you want me to go back?"
Tiger shook his head. "I don't want that. I want you to be with me."
Erni flicked him on the forehead. "Alright, let's go back and make breakfast. Grandpa will definitely be hungry soon."
Tiger noticed that Erni had changed; she was radiating vitality. Was this what it felt like to have parents?
Erni was actually quite conflicted. On one hand, she was very happy to have her mother acknowledge her, but on the other hand, she told her mother...
“If you want me to go back, then take everyone back with you.”
She was really happy when she saw her mother nod in agreement.
Her precocious nature made her realize that raising so many people would require a lot of money, and she was now worried that her mother might change her mind.
In short, I was in a state of utter confusion until I returned to the courtyard and started playing around with everyone, which calmed me down.
Lu Zhixia got out of the taxi, feeling more relaxed than ever before. The person had been found; all that was left was to bring them back.
After many days of hard work, she finally got her reward. She really wanted to shout with joy, "I did it!"
Gu Lingxiao pulled her back and looked her in the eye. "I'm going out on a mission later. If you want to go see them, have Zhou An'an go with you. It's a cheap place. It's a bit dangerous for a single woman like you to go."
Lu Zhixia nodded, "I will take An'an with me, and I will buy them food, clothes, and everything else I can."
Gu Lingxiao took his wallet out of his pocket. "This is all the money I have left. You can take it all."
Lu Zhixia found it adorable to see him hand over his wallet. "No need. I brought some money with me, enough to handle everything. You should keep your wallet with you, just in case something happens."
Gu Lingxiao noticed that there was no one around, so he lowered his head and kissed her forehead.
"Now that the child has been found, you need to seriously consider our relationship. I want to marry you; I can't wait any longer."
“I will consider it.” Lu Zhixia looked up at him. “But you need to think it through. I not only have to raise one daughter now, but those children are also orphans. The old man’s illness must be very serious. Even if we use acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine, it will only delay the inevitable.”
Gu Lingxiao: "I will accept everything about you, you don't need to worry!"
Lu Zhixia opened her arms and hugged him, "How can you be so good to me? You're too good to me!"
Gu Lingxiao gently embraced the person, a smile playing on his lips.
They only let go of each other's hands and walked towards the guesthouse after they noticed someone approaching.
They arrived eventually, no matter how slowly they walked, and parted ways at the door.
Lu Zhixia watched him turn and leave before pushing the door open and entering the room.
Seeing that Zhou An'an was sleeping soundly, with the blanket wrapped around her legs, thankfully the weather wasn't too cold.
Thinking about what happened that night felt like a dream. She took off her clothes and slowly lay down on the bed.
A joyful feeling reignited within me.
Zhou An'an opened her eyes when she sensed someone beside her. Seeing that the person had returned, she quickly asked,
"What did you do all night?" Then it suddenly dawned on her, "You didn't sleep at his place, did you? You two are being way too blatant!"
"No, what are you thinking?" Lu Zhixia looked at Zhou An'an and smiled. "Do you know? The child has been found!"
"Really?" Zhou An'an sat up excitedly, instantly wide awake. "Where did you find it! Was it the person who delivered the message to you yesterday who told you?"
Lu Zhixia: "You've seen the child before."
Zhou An'an immediately thought of the little girl and excitedly grabbed her arm, "Is it that little girl?"
