How desperate would they be if they knew?
Chen Xi didn't even dare to think about it.
"Wow...why didn't my sister send us some packages to help us?" The uncle felt even more sad when he thought of his only sister.
"Silly child, can we keep the things your sister sent to us? The scoundrel in this village keeps an eye on us and makes trouble for us every day. If we let him know that your sister sent us things, we won't be able to keep those things." Grandpa sighed deeply, and then gasped violently a few times.
"Old woman, get some water for me to wipe my head." Hearing grandpa's words, grandma nodded quickly and walked out.
Chen Xi had also walked out of the room.
After working outside the house for a long time, when I was about to go in, I heard the door creak open.
A thin figure walked out from inside.
The grandfather and grandson just stared at each other at the door.
When they first saw each other, they were both dumbfounded.
It took my grandmother a long time to react, and she asked with a trembling voice, "Who is it?"
There was no moon tonight, so grandma didn't see what Chen Xi looked like.
"Grandma..." Chen Xi choked and called out Grandma.
Hearing this familiar hometown accent, grandma suddenly dropped the wooden basin in her hand and almost pounced on the person in front of her.
"Is it Xixi? It's Xixi, right?" Although he was very excited, he still suppressed his inner excitement and asked in a low voice.
Chen Xi nodded and quickly pulled his grandmother into the house.
A stranger followed grandma into the house, which scared the father and son in the house. After seeing each other clearly in the dim light of the fire, they both exclaimed in unison.
"Xixi!" Because Chen Xi looked exactly the same as when they left a few years ago, without any change.
That's why they recognized each other so quickly.
"Grandpa, uncle!" Chen Xi ran over with tears in her eyes and threw herself into her grandfather's arms.
Grandpa hugged Chen Xi tightly in his arms, tears streaming down his face.
My grandfather from my previous life never returned alive. Only my grandmother, who had aged decades, and my uncle returned. My grandmother died soon after returning. My uncle, who was left with a limp, could not accept the pain of losing his parents and went mad. One morning, he was found drowned in the city moat.
"Hey! Xixi, why are you here?" This place is a million miles away from my hometown!
Why is Chen Xi here?
"My mother signed me up to go to the countryside. Originally, I was supposed to go to the south, but I begged the Youth League Office to arrange for me to go here." Chen Xi suppressed her excitement, wiped her tears, sat up straight and said.
Soon she thought of something, and quickly took out her military water bottle and put it to her grandfather's mouth.
"Grandpa, drink some water quickly." Hearing Chen Xi's urging.
Grandpa also obediently drank a sip of water.
"Hmm! It's very sweet. Did you put sugar in it?" Grandpa took a sip of water and found that the water was very sweet. He asked in surprise.
"Hmm." The system's voice also sounded in my mind at the same time. The system said that grandpa is sick now, and spiritual spring water is the best elixir. Minor illnesses such as colds and fevers can be cured by drinking a sip.
It’s just that my uncle has some problems with his legs, and he needs to upgrade the space level so that the spiritual spring water will be more effective.
Reminded by the system, Chen Xi also made up his mind that he must make money as soon as possible.
Grandpa didn't know what was wrong with him. He felt that after drinking a sip of water, the burning sensation in his body disappeared.
It was as if he was roasting in the fire, and then a basin of water was poured on his head, extinguishing the fire.
"Grandpa, drink more." Chen Xi knew that his grandfather was in very poor health, so he urged him to drink more.
"Hey, grandpa drinks it, grandpa drinks it." Grandpa picked up the kettle and took a few more sips with a smile.
Only after his grandfather finished drinking did Chen Xi put down the backpack behind him and start taking things from outside with the help of the backpack.
"Xixi, why did your mother ask you to go to the countryside? How can you, a girl, go to a place like the countryside where people are eaten?" After grandpa recovered, he felt that his throat was more comfortable and his speech no longer sounded like a broken bellows.
"You know my dad is a man who favors boys over girls. He didn't want my brother and my younger brother to go to the countryside, so he asked me to come. The sister in the Youth League Office was very nice. She remembered me as a man and let me go to the countryside as a man. The Youth League compound here happens to have rooms for single educated youth to live in. It's very convenient for me to live alone now. Grandpa, grandma, and uncle, come and eat. I have prepared something delicious for you." Chen Xi said as he brought a broken kang table and placed it on the kang. Then he took all the meals he had prepared for them to the table and beckoned them to come and eat.
The three of them were stunned. They didn't expect their granddaughter to do so much.
"Food is so precious now! You should eat it!" Grandpa feels much better now and is much more energetic.
"I must have prepared some food for you. Eat it quickly. It would be bad if someone comes and we get discovered. Eat quickly." Chen Xi took out the white flour buns from the fresh-keeping warehouse with the help of a backpack and stuffed them into their hands.
"Oh my! Why is it such a precious thing as white flour steamed buns?" After seeing that it was a big steamed bun, my grandparents almost dropped their hands on the kang because of shaking.
Fortunately, their desire for food overcame the shock of seeing such delicious food, and they held on tightly.
"Eat quickly. These are the big steamed buns I bought from the state-owned restaurant. I brought a lot of receipts and money with me when I went to the countryside this time. It will definitely be enough to support the three of you in the future." Chen Xi said as he opened the lid of the aluminum lunch box.
My grandparents and uncle haven't seen such a complete meal in many years.
I was shocked to find that there was both meat and eggs.
Just as she was about to speak, she met her granddaughter's urging gaze.
The three of them were really hungry and started eating in big mouthfuls.
After three full portions of dishes and three big steamed buns per person, we had a full meal for the first time in all these years.
It made them sigh with satisfaction after the meal.
"Drink some hawthorn water." Knowing that they would suffer from indigestion if they suddenly ate so much, Chen Xi had already prepared hawthorn water in advance.
Borrowed another military water bottle and took it out.
"Is your father willing to give you money to go to the countryside?" Grandpa knew something about his son-in-law. He didn't love his daughter that much.
"Of course I wouldn't want to. I told him that if he didn't agree, I would go to the factory where he worked in the compound where I lived and complain, saying that he was biased towards boys and treated me, his daughter, harshly. You know him, he cares a lot about face, so he compromised and asked my mother to prepare a lot of money for me." Chen explained with a smile.
