"Grandpa, what courtyard? You have a house in the city?"
Lu Zhixia was very surprised, knowing that houses in the city are not cheap.
Furthermore, they usually live in the countryside, so they don't need to buy a house in the city.
Old Master Bai stroked his beard. "He was a patient I treated. Two years ago, he went to live with his children and entrusted his house to me to manage. He told me not to work so hard and to rest in his house when I was tired, and I agreed because I thought it would be convenient."
Lu Zhixia then understood what was going on, "How far is it from here?"
Grandpa Bai pointed, "It's just two blocks ahead, number 45 in the southeast. I think it's a decent place; sometimes I rest there for the night before going back. I also clean the house for him while I'm there. A house with people is better than one without!"
“Last time we studied acupuncture, I discovered that you have a great talent for it. If Gu Lingxiao needs me to perform acupuncture, you can watch from the side and learn how to use it.”
Lu Zhixia smiled, thinking about how she could further improve her acupuncture skills.
"Okay, then I'll listen to Grandpa. I'll go to the army base to find him tomorrow. If I find him successfully, I'll bring him to see you."
"I'll still be setting up my stall here tomorrow. You two can come find me here."
"Okay, Grandpa, I'll definitely bring him over, and then I'll bring you some delicious food." Lu Zhixia said with a smile, "I used the money from selling that ginseng to start a business. If all goes well, it'll at least double in value!"
Grandpa Bai was quite surprised by Lu Zhixia's speed in making money and was a little worried about her safety, so he said,
"Girl, we can't do anything illegal!"
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Actually, I'm just using money to make money. I buy a batch of umbrellas and then sell them to some people to make a profit from the price difference."
"You're so bright, you're sure to make a fortune someday!"
"Hehe, maybe I also hope to get rich."
The thought of her child's smile disappearing was a thorn in her side, a brand that weighed heavily on her heart, especially in the quiet of the night when she couldn't sleep and kept thinking about it.
I don't know if my child is still alive, or how he is now.
Are you happy in your life?
"What's wrong? Are you suddenly unhappy?" Old Master Bai asked.
Lu Zhixia looked up and slowly said, "Grandpa, the child I gave birth to 10 years ago was switched. I don't know where he is now or what kind of life he's living. I don't even know if he's a boy or a girl."
Old Master Bai was startled. "How did you find out?"
Lu Zhixia said, "It was the child I was raising who let it slip. I went to the hospital to get my blood type tested, and that's when I was finally certain that the scumbag had switched my child."
Old Master Bai coughed violently twice, angered by the man's despicable behavior.
Lu Zhixia quickly patted her grandfather on the back, "Grandpa! Don't be angry, I've already thought it through. I'll earn more money and arrange for many people to look for the child. We'll find him eventually!"
Grandpa Bai took out his water bottle and drank some water. At his age, he rarely gets angry anymore.
He couldn't possibly ignore such a wicked person.
"Is he not telling you where your child is?!"
"Yes, he wouldn't say, so I filed a lawsuit in court. As long as there is evidence, he can be convicted."
"However, it seems difficult because 10 years have passed, and the doctors and nurses who delivered the babies back then can no longer be found."
"You must believe that where there's a will, there's a way, and you will definitely find your child."
At this moment, Old Master Bai thought of a kind of herb from the mountains. If it were extracted and made into pills, and then given to the other person, it would make them speak the truth and unable to lie. So he spoke again.
"Give me some time, I'll make you some medicine, maybe you'll need it."
"What medicine?"
Lu Zhixia was puzzled and didn't ask any further questions because someone came to buy medicine.
When I finally had some free time again, more than half an hour had passed.
Grandpa Bai started packing up. "We've sold almost everything today. Let's tidy up and I'll show you the way."
"Alright!" Lu Zhixia tidied up quickly, having had experience before.
She carefully put away all the medicinal herbs according to the order her grandfather had arranged them.
Then he picked up the carrying pole, saying, "Grandpa, you can push the bicycle, I'll carry this!"
"You're a filial child, so I won't stand on ceremony with you." Old Master Bai pushed the bicycle and found that it was indeed a good bike, but he was too old to ride one.
Otherwise, try getting one of these, one high and one low, and see the box on the back of the bicycle.
"Are you out selling ice cream again today?"
"All the steamed buns we sold today are sold out!"
Lu Zhixia wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve; carrying a shoulder pole requires skill.
She didn't seem to have found the shoulder that was sore from the weight of the carrying pole, but she could bear it.
Fortunately, it wasn't too far away, and we soon arrived at the house Grandpa Bai had mentioned, located at the very end of a small alley.
After opening the quiet little door, you can see three houses, a jujube tree in the yard, a well, and nothing else.
"I was able to stay here because it's secluded."
"It's nice here; it has everything you need."
Once inside, Lu Zhixia saw that there weren't many things, but everything was spotless.
Lifting the floral curtain and entering the inner room, one is greeted by an earthen kang (heated brick bed) with a small solid wood table on it, and a quilt folded in the corner not far away.
“I usually live in this room; I don’t live in the room next door.”
"I think this place is pretty good. When I have money in the future, I want to buy a small courtyard house."
