After much persuasion, the topic was finally diverted from marriage, which made Shen Qingmiao quietly relieved. When it came to the issue of marriage, she always acted like an ostrich.
"How are your parents?" Xue's mother is also someone that Grandpa Xue cares about very much.
Gu Jingyuan said slowly and calmly, "Grandpa, my parents are doing well, but they just miss you a little."
This time, when Xue's mother came to the hospital to take care of Gu Jingyuan, she also asked Gu Jingyuan about the old man's condition. Whenever Xue's mother heard that the old man had to do so much work, she couldn't help but shed tears. After learning that the old man was fine, Xue's mother finally felt relieved.
"That's good, that's good." As long as a person is still alive, it is the greatest blessing.
Nothing is more important than the old man being alive and healthy, everything else is meaningless.
"As long as your mother is doing well, I'm afraid that it will bring trouble to her and the others." When Mr. Xue learned about the situation, the first thing he did was to sever ties with Xue's mother to avoid implicating them.
Fortunately, Mr. Xue was decisive enough to prevent Xue's mother and the others from being implicated. For this, Xue's mother felt guilty.
"Grandpa, you have to take good care of yourself here. My mother is waiting for you to come home and reunite with her." Gu Jingyuan knew very well how much his mother wanted to reunite with her grandfather.
When talking about Xue's mother, Mr. Xue's eyes welled up. He missed her too and longed for a family reunion. Who wouldn't miss their family here? He was lucky enough to have his grandson visit him often. His two old friends, for example, didn't even know where their families were, let alone see them.
The word "family" always has a special magic that makes people rush to it like moths to a flame.
Speaking of family, Shen Qingmiao wanted to thank God for giving her this bizarre experience, allowing her to have her family again. No one understood better than she did the feeling of losing and then finding.
Mr. Xue's voice was choked with sobs. "Grandpa will take good care of himself. Grandpa wants to see your mother again."
Shen Qingmiao and Gu Jingyuan didn't stay in the bullpen for long. After all, it would be bad if they were discovered. After sitting for a while, they stood up and said goodbye.
Grandpa Xue saw them off to the door. When they parted, Gu Jingyuan said to Grandpa Xue, "Grandpa, we'll come visit you again when we have the chance."
Old Master Xue was quite casual. "It doesn't matter whether you come to see me or not. As long as you are safe, I'm happy. You should come here less often in the future. It would be bad if someone saw you. And I don't know what's going on lately, but we feel like someone is lingering near the cowshed. We don't know what that person is up to, so it's best if you two don't come here too often. Anyway, I, your grandfather, am doing well, so you don't have to worry about me for now."
Hearing that someone was often lingering outside the cowshed and even hiding, Shen Qingmiao and Gu Jingyuan felt a surge of worry. Fearing that someone was up to something bad, they both said in unison, "Grandpa (Grandpa Xue), you better be careful."
Shen Qingmiao and Gu Jingyuan both felt that it was necessary to go to the village tomorrow to inquire and see if there were any clues.
"Don't worry, you two little ones. We three old ones have our own ways to deal with it."
Old Master Xue stood at the door and watched Shen Qingmiao and Gu Jingyuan walk into the darkness until they were out of sight, then he turned around and went in to close the door.
It was already dark on the way back, and the moonlight was enough to barely see the ground, so the two of them walked very slowly. The cold wind howled in the winter night, blowing into Shen Qingmiao's clothes and making him shiver.
Why is it so cold in winter?
Shen Qingmiao missed her own bed so much that she planned to get in it as soon as she got home and washed up. Her mother, who knew she was coming back yesterday, had already taken out all the bedding in her room and dried it in the sun. She thought Shen Qingmiao would still be able to smell the sunshine when she lay down in it that night.
She also wanted to soak her feet. Hot water was the most comfortable way to soak your feet. It could also relieve fatigue and help you have a good sleep. Most importantly, soaking your feet could drive away the coldness in your body and make you feel warm.
Shen Qingmiao put her hands in her pockets and didn't dare take them out. The scarf also wrapped her face, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.
"Let's go quickly, it's too cold."
"Give me your hand, I'll warm it up for you."
Shen Qingmiao felt a little moved. Unlike her, Gu Jingyuan's palms were always warm. She looked around and saw that no one was willing to come out on this cold night. After seeing that no one was around, she boldly put a hand into Gu Jingyuan's pocket. As soon as her small hand was in, it was grabbed by Gu Jingyuan's big hand and wrapped around it. The warm feeling instantly spread from his hand to her heart, and it seemed that even her body became a little warmer.
Neither Shen Qingmiao nor Gu Jingyuan spoke, but both wore identical smiles. The sweetness in those smiles seemed sweeter than honey and brighter than the sun.
When they were almost at the door of their home, Shen Qingmiao reluctantly pulled her hand out of Gu Jingyuan's pocket. As soon as she did so, the warmth disappeared instantly and the coldness came over her again.
The only good thing is that I'm home!
After leaving the source of warmth, Shen Qingmiao quickened his pace, opened the door, and ran back to the house. After returning to the house, he finally felt a little better.
Hearing the noise, Shen's mother came out and saw the two people coming back. "I've left hot water for you in the kitchen. Go soak your feet to get rid of the cold. I've made the bed for you in the room. After you wash up, go and rest."
"Thank you, Mom." Shen Qingmiao said with a flattering look.
"Thank you, auntie." Gu Jingyuan thanked.
"Okay, I'm going back inside. You guys should go back as soon as you finish washing up. It's freezing outside."
