Chapter 61 Still Alive

The weather was getting colder and colder. It snowed heavily last night. Since she didn't have to go to school, Shen Ruoqing slept in for a rare time. When she woke up in the morning, she was shivering from the cold.

She put a vest inside her cotton coat before getting up.

Now is the hibernation season, and every household only eats two meals a day. However, at Shen Ruoqing's insistence, the Shen family still eats three meals a day.

This morning we had egg noodles, which were made from cornmeal. While we were eating, Old Mrs. Ji said that an old lady from the same village passed away last night, and she wanted to bring some food to express her condolences today.

This reminded Shen Ruoqing of Grandpa Hao and Grandma Hao. Since the last two times he delivered medicine, Shen Ruoqing had not visited them again. The weather was so cold, and he didn't know if the two old people had warm cotton clothes.

Shen Ruoqing took some ginger, glutinous rice and brown sugar carefully.

Unexpectedly, the first person I saw when I arrived was not Hao Dezhong, but Mu Bai.

For a moment, the two of them were speechless.

It was Hao Dezhong who broke the awkwardness: "Come in, it's cold outside."

There was a charcoal fire in the adobe house, which kept it warm. Grandma Hao was so happy to see Shen Ruoqing coming that she even asked Shen Ruoqing to sit down and brought her a cup of hot water.

There were not enough stools in the room, so Mu Bai just stood there.

Shen Ruoqing looked at the basket she was carrying, and then at Mu Bai carrying the package. She was no longer afraid that Mu Bai would report her: "Mu Zhiqing, what a coincidence."

Mu Bai was able to keep his composure. He put down his package and said to Shen Ruoqing, "What a coincidence. I didn't expect Comrade Shen to come here in such a cold weather."

Mu Bai brought a new quilt. Shen Ruoqing didn't want to explore the relationship between Mu Bai and Hao Dezhong. Seeing that the two old people were fine, she put down her things and left. The two old people didn't want to accept Shen Ruoqing's things anymore, but Shen Ruoqing walked fast, so Mu Bai chased after him.

"Aren't you curious why I'm here?"

"Mu Zhiqing, everyone has their own little secrets, and I'm not the type to dig into things." Shen Ruoqing shrugged, "Don't worry that I have any extra intentions, I'm just visiting the patients I've seen." Grandpa Hao and Grandma Hao have gained some weight on their faces since the last time they saw them. It can be seen that they have been living a pretty good life during this period. It's probably because of Mu Bai.

Mu Bai looked at her deeply and finally said the word "thank you".

Mu Bai returned to the adobe house.

"You little brat, how could you let the girl from the Shen family leave so easily? The things haven't been returned to her yet!"

Grandpa Hao looked at the brown sugar, which was a precious thing. The last time Shen Ruoqing came to treat his wife's illness, it was already enough to trouble him, how could he still have the nerve to ask for his things.

"Take it. I'll return the favor next time."

On the other side, Liu Xinyi heard Ji Meihua say that another old lady had passed away in the village, and she said, "Is it that old lady? Grandma, why are you carrying eggs?" She was thinking that, just like in her previous life, Grandma Hao would not survive this winter. She should have died a long time ago, so why did it take so long?

As a result, I got hit.

Ji Meihua said: "What are you talking about? Your aunt passed away, and everyone is going to pay their respects. But your aunt was not in good health and she is old..."

Liu Xinyi didn't listen carefully to the rest of the words. What? It wasn't Grandma Hao who passed away? Then what about Grandma Hao? She's still alive? How come she's different from her last life? Liu Xinyi wanted to do something after Grandma Hao passed away, and now she was told that Grandma Hao was still alive? How could this be possible?

"Xinyi, what are you talking about?" Liu Xinyi's mother asked curiously.

"It's okay, I was just talking nonsense." Liu Xinyi made up an excuse and went out. She had to go there in person to take a look, otherwise she would not be at ease.

Mu Bai had just left when Liu Xinyi arrived, so she didn't run into him.

"Grandpa Hao, are you there?" She was a little anxious and really wanted to know whether Grandma Hao was still alive.

"Hey, is that the girl from the Liu family? Why are you here? It's very cold today." Hao Dezhong poked his head out.

"It's so cold. I'm a little worried about you two, so I came here to check on you. Is Grandma Hao okay?"

Now that people had arrived and it was snowing outside, Liu Xinyi stepped into this adobe house for the first time.

The room was filled with the stench of cow dung, which almost made Liu Xinyi run out.

"The girl from the Liu family is here."

Grandma Hao sat there peacefully and poured a glass of water for Liu Xinyi.

"Grandma Hao, are you feeling unwell?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Why would I be feeling unwell? I'm in good health." Grandma Hao didn't like Liu Xinyi very much, and she found it even more strange to hear Liu Xinyi's words.

"It's okay. I just want to say that it's cold and you should take care of yourself." Liu Xinyi looked at Grandma Hao, who was nimble and agile, and couldn't tell what was wrong with her.

Before, she knew that Grandma Hao would die, so she had always tried to win over Hao Dezhong, and had not paid much attention to Grandma Hao. Now that Grandma Hao was still alive, she had to pay some attention to her.

"This girl cares about you." Hao Dezhong didn't think there was anything wrong. "Girl, you should go back quickly. It would be bad if people found out that you always come to our place."

Liu Xinyi is gone.

She began to think about what to do next.

Everything was clearly going in the same direction as in her previous life, but why did Grandma Hao survive? She couldn't figure it out. Was it because she kept running in this direction, causing a butterfly effect?

I didn't do anything, at most I just delivered rice and flour. Could it be that Grandma Hao starved to death in her previous life? In her previous life, she didn't care about the people here at all. She just heard that someone died later, but she didn't know how he died. It was too long ago, and she forgot it.

And Mu Bai, I've been there so many times, how come I've never met him once? This is really bad luck.

Liu Xinyi thought to herself that she was still young and could take her time. Mu Bai would be staying in Dashitou Village for several years anyway, so there was no need to rush.

Food is just in short supply this year. Most people can survive if they only eat two meals a day. But next year, that will be a real life-threatening time. I have to save more food and more money. And Shen Ruoqing, she lived such a glorious life in her last life, this time I must trample her into the mud.

Liu Xinyi was reborn, but she didn't know that Shen Ruoqing was a time traveler. She only knew that Shen Ruoqing was very successful in her previous life and had great prestige in the village, while she was exchanged for a dowry by her grandmother and married a violent man, living a miserable life.
