"Boss Shan, why aren't you leaving?" The people who were going down to the mine together walked for a while and found that someone had fallen behind, so they turned back and called him.
Shan Lao Da finally came to his senses and said, "Oh, you guys go first. I'll go buy some food for my son and bring it home."
"Haha, Brother Shan really loves his son!"
"That's right, I think most of the money Boss Shan earns is spent on his son."
"They had a child in their old age, and how could they not hold such a precious baby in their hands?"
"Don't laugh at him. His son was born when they fled the famine, so he's not in good health now. He definitely needs more care."
"Boss Shan, let's go first!"
After saying this, the people who went down to the mine together left.
Only Boss Shan was left standing by the roadside, looking at Qingtian who was sitting by the window on the second floor.
The child has grown up, his face looks plumper than before, and his complexion is also good, but his facial features are still the same as before, and his eyes even look a little bigger.
But now there is light in her eyes, just like when she was first picked up.
Boss Shan stood on the street for a long time, waiting until the four people finished eating and left.
Looking at Prince Rui, Qin Songyin, and Qin Hexuan, Boss Shan couldn't help but frown. Are these three people from the Ye family? Why do they look different from what he remembered?
But the last time they met was several years ago, and he was a little unsure of his memory for a moment.
It was not until he saw the four people disappear in the crowd that Boss Shan realized it was already very late.
Fortunately, the gold mine operates day and night, so food can be bought in the town at any time.
He quickly bought a meat-filled pancake and rushed home.
As soon as Mr. Shan entered the house, he was scolded by Mrs. Shan.
"You damned bastard, you still remember to come back? What time is it now? Everyone in your class has gone home long ago.
"Today is the day when your monthly salary is distributed. Did you go out fooling around?"
"Where could I go to fool around? I just got my monthly allowance today, so I went to buy some meat-filled pancakes for my son and didn't go with them."
As Shan Lao Da said this, he took out a still hot meat-filled pancake from his arms and handed it to his son who was sitting on the kang.
"Dabao, didn't you want to eat meat-stuffed pancakes a few days ago? Look, Dad bought it for you."
Seeing that Boss Shan still remembered the child, Mrs. Shan's expression eased a little.
"It shouldn't take that long to buy a meat-filled sesame bun, right?"
Seeing his son engrossed in eating a sesame seed bun on the kang, Shan Lao Da pulled his wife outside and whispered, "Guess who I saw when I bought the meat bun just now?"
"Who is it? Could it be the widow Liu from town?"
"Could you please stop talking nonsense? I'm working in the mines every day and I'm exhausted. You're sitting at home doing nothing and yet you're suspicious of me!" Boss Shan's tone gradually grew impatient.
Seeing that he was really angry, Lady Shan was a little scared and pouted, "Who did you see?"
"You will never guess, I saw a sunny day!" said Old Shan.
"Sunny?" Madam Shan was stunned for a moment before digging out the name from the depths of her memory. She rolled her eyes and said, "I didn't expect the Ye family to be so kind. That girl is still alive?"
"Not only was she alive, she was living a very good life!" Shan Lao Da stroked his chin and recalled, "Although the clothes she wore looked simple, the materials were all excellent.
“Although she didn’t wear any jewelry in her hair, I saw the gold bracelet she had hidden under her sleeve.
"She should be in her early teens now. Do you think she came to Jiapigou to buy some gold for her dowry?"
Mrs. Shan became excited when she heard this.
"What kind of family is the Ye family? They didn't even live as well as us back in the village. How could they possibly have the money to buy gold as a dowry for a girl who isn't their biological child? Don't dream!
"Alright, it's none of our business what she's like now. Let's eat quickly. It's getting cold waiting for you."
After hearing what she said, Boss Shan said nothing more. The two of them went back to the house and drank the cold rice porridge.
Shan Dabao, who was lying on the kang, licked his greasy lips and said, "Dad, these meat-stuffed pancakes are so delicious. I wish I could eat them every day."
Looking at their frail and sickly son who could never even get a good meal, Shan Lao Da and his wife gradually began to have some inappropriate thoughts in their hearts.
Early the next morning, Boss Shan had a meal at home and then went to work in the mine.
After cleaning the room, Mrs. Shan said to her son who was playing on the kang, "Dabao, stay home and be good. I'm going to town to buy some things."
This is usually what Mrs. Shan does when she goes shopping, so Shan Dabao nodded.
Mrs. Shan locked the door and went straight to the town. When she arrived, she didn't buy anything. She just wandered around the two busy streets in the town, paying special attention to the entrances of several inns.
If what Boss Shan said is true, since Qingtian is dressed so well, he should have enough money to stay in the inn.
I have to say, she really guessed it.
She had just been wandering around the street for a while when she saw four people coming out of the largest and most expensive inn in town.
Among them, Madam Shan recognized the little girl as Qingtian at a glance.
After not seeing him for a few years, Qingtian has not only grown taller, but his eyes are also brighter and his complexion is rosy. It is obvious that he is well taken care of.
Madam Shan saw this and felt extremely anxious.
How could she, a little girl, grow up so well, while her own eldest son became ill due to lack of food and clothing while fleeing from famine. Now he is not only much thinner than other children of the same age, but also always sickly.
