Because he was preoccupied with his benefactor's affairs, Luo Rui had little interest in watching the execution.
Grandma Luo noticed her grandson's absent-mindedness and was filled with worry.
Since the family suffered a major upheaval, only the grandmother and grandson remained. She watched her grandson grow up so quickly at such a young age, feeling both gratified and heartbroken, but also uneasy, always worried that his personality would be corrupted by hatred.
Seeing her grandson's unusual behavior, Grandma Luo became even more worried.
When the grandmother and grandson returned home, Grandma Luo was about to comfort her grandson when she was stunned by the pile of things he brought out.
"This...this is..."
Grandma Luo looked at the familiar floral bundle, then at the contents inside, touching it again and again, hardly believing her eyes.
"Xiao Rui, where did these things come from?"
Luo Rui's voice trembled with excitement: "Grandma, she's my benefactor! I saw my benefactor today! These are what my benefactor brought back!"
Grandma Luo excitedly grabbed his hand: "Where is our benefactor? Quick, take me to see him! I'll kowtow to him! He saved our lives!"
Luo Rui looked embarrassed, but under Grandma Luo's urging, he told her about meeting Ye Weiwei before, and also about meeting Ye Weiwei a few days ago.
Then, he said with self-reproach, "I didn't know he was my benefactor at the time. If only I had known it was him earlier..."
Grandma Luo patted her grandson's hand and comforted him, "Our benefactor doesn't want to acknowledge us."
After saying that, she pointed to the small yellow croaker in the bundle, "Look."
Luo Rui counted the small yellow croakers and found that there were two fewer than before. He looked at Grandma Luo in confusion and asked, "Grandma, why is that?"
Grandma Luo wiped away her tears. "Our benefactor didn't want us to have any burden. Those two small yellow croakers were to offset the things he gave us."
"But...but the two small yellow croakers are not enough of what our benefactor gave us!"
Grandma Luo smiled and said, "But my benefactor thinks that's enough."
After saying this, she looked at her grandson and said earnestly, "Xiao Rui, our family has suffered a lot these past years. Grandma knows you hate them, and I hate them too. I wish I could eat their flesh and drink their blood. But Grandma wants to tell you that there are still good people in this world, people like our benefactor who do good deeds without expecting anything in return. Heaven is watching what people do, and bad people will be punished sooner or later. Don't let hatred make you lose yourself. You must learn to be grateful and repay kindness. Do you understand?"
Luo Rui nodded emphatically, "Grandma, I remember. One day, I will find a way to repay my benefactor's kindness."
"Yes." Grandma Luo, with tears in her eyes, patted her grandson's shoulder with relief. "Go and pack everything up!"
Ye Weiwei was unaware that her small act of kindness had changed the life of a young boy named Luo Rui.
After returning home from town, Ye Weiwei made a special trip to the former educated youth settlement to chat with Xu Meijun and Chen Jiali for a while. She figured that Huo Xiao and the others had gone home, so she declined Xu Meijun and Chen Jiali's invitation to stay for dinner and went home.
As soon as Ye Weiwei arrived at her doorstep, she saw a petite figure carrying a basket on her back leaving her house, so she called out, "Lingdang."
Lingdang turned around quickly, and after seeing Ye Weiwei, she walked over quickly, then looked at Ye Weiwei somewhat awkwardly: "Ye Zhiqing, I, I've come to bring you a basket."
After saying that, she took the basket off her back and handed it to Ye Weiwei.
Ye Weiwei saw two little sparrows in the basket shivering from the cold, tied with a straw rope, and looked at Lingdang in surprise.
Lingdang said nervously, "I... I don't have anything to give you. I caught this myself. You... you can let your little nephew play with it."
You can also bake it.
Roasted sparrow meat is also very fragrant.
She was delayed for so many days to deliver the basket just to catch these two sparrows, but fortunately it's winter now, there's no work in the fields, and the basket is rarely used at home, so it won't cause any problems.
Ye Weiwei looked at the two little sparrows with delight, "That's wonderful! Thank you, Lingdang, my little nephew will definitely love them!"
As she spoke, she opened the door, pulled the bell, and entered the yard. "Wait a minute, I also have something for your Niu Niu."
After saying that, without giving Lingdang a time to refuse, he took a bag of cookies and stuffed it into Lingdang's hand.
"No...no way! I came here to thank you, how can I take your things for nothing!"
And such an expensive item!
Lingdang felt the biscuits in her hands were so hot that she could barely hold them.
Ye Weiwei laughed and said, "How can I take it for free! You like my little nephew, so you catch sparrows for him to play with. I also like your little niece, so I give her cookies. It's fair, isn't it? If you don't want my cookies, then I don't want your little sparrows either. Although my little nephew really likes little sparrows, I can't just take advantage of you for nothing, can I?"
Lingdang was a little confused by what Ye Weiwei said. By the time she came to her senses, she had already left Ye Weiwei's house and was on her way home, holding a bag of cookies in her hand.
The wind blew, and my face felt cold, but my heart felt warm.
Ye Weiwei infused the two nearly frozen sparrows with some wood-type supernatural power, and the two little guys immediately perked up.
She found a thin red yarn and tied it to the ankles of the two little sparrows, then tied the other end of the yarn to a small stick to prevent the two sparrows from flying away.
When Little Star came back, she saw two little sparrows hopping around on the ground, pecking at the rice. She happily called out to her aunt and ran over to squat down and watch the little sparrows.
Huo Xiao pushed the bicycle into the side room, rubbed his hands together, went inside, and took out two large meat buns wrapped in two layers of oil paper from his pocket and gave them to Ye Weiwei.
"Have something to eat first, then I'll cook."
Ye Weiwei took the still-warm meat bun, gave one to Xiaoxing, and then Xiaoxing started eating it without paying any more attention.
She was actually quite hungry.
Little Star ran to Huo Xiao with a big meat bun in her hand: "Uncle, time to eat big meat buns!"
Huo Xiao pinched his little cheek, "If your uncle doesn't want to eat, you can eat it yourself."
Little Star shook his head, "Auntie eats with the little brother in her belly, and Little Star eats with Uncle."
Everything was arranged perfectly.
Upon hearing this, Huo Xiao couldn't help but laugh even more, "How do you know that Auntie's belly is carrying a little brother and not a little sister?"
Little Star frowned and thought for a moment, "It's a little brother."
He already has a little Qiu sister, but he's missing a little brother.
Huo Xiao laughed heartily, "Alright, we'll listen to our little star and have your aunt give you a little brother!"
Ye Weiwei watched the two of them each take a bite of a steamed bun, enjoying its warmth, and thought to herself, "Is one little brother enough? What low expectations!"
