Shen Qingmiao called out several times at the door, but no one responded. Just when Shen Qingmiao thought no one was going to leave, an old man came out. It was the old man they had sent to the clinic.
When he saw the old man, Shen Qingmiao's eyes lit up.
It seems that the old man is completely fine, that's good.
When Mr. Xue came out, he saw a little girl, and there seemed to be a slight surprise in his eyes. But Mr. Xue searched his mind carefully and confirmed that he really didn't know this little girl.
Before Mr. Xue could ask who the little girl was, Shen Qingmiao took the lead and said, "I'm glad you're okay, old man."
After hearing this, Mr. Xue was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said, "It was you, little girl, who sent me to the clinic!"
Mr. Xue had originally planned to find his benefactor to express his gratitude, but he didn't expect that his benefactor would come to him on his own initiative.
Shen Qingmiao smiled and said, "It's me. I came here today just to see you. I'll be relieved if you're okay."
"This is for you. I'll be leaving now."
Shen Qingmiao came here just to make sure that Mr. Xue was alright. After she had delivered the things, she planned to leave. At this time, these old men might still be wary of them, so it was unnecessary to get too close to them.
"Wait!" Old Master Xue stopped Shen Qingmiao who was about to leave.
"Is there anything else, old man?" Shen Qingmiao stopped, turned around and asked.
Still holding the food that Shen Qingmiao had sent, Mr. Xue walked towards Shen Qingmiao and said, "I can't take the food. You saved me, and I haven't thanked you properly yet."
As he spoke, one hand was still digging in his pocket, "This is medical expenses, how can I ask a little girl like you to help pay for it."
As the saying goes, the eyes are the windows to the soul. Old Master Xue could tell from Shen Qingmiao's eyes that this little girl was kind-hearted. Her eyes were as clear as water, clean and translucent.
This made Mr. Xue, who was originally very vigilant, couldn't help but let down his guard.
"Grandpa, no need, no need. It's just a little medical expense. It's not necessary." Shen Qingmiao kept refusing and refused to accept the money handed to him by Grandpa Xue.
Gu Jingyuan was hiding not far from the cowshed, watching the movement at the cowshed door. The sudden sound just now really made Gu Jingyuan a little worried. He was worried until he saw what was happening.
When Gu Jingyuan saw that the girl standing at the door was Shen Qingmiao, he did not appear immediately, but quietly observed. After hearing and seeing what his grandfather said to her and what he did, and seeing that Shen Qingmiao had been refusing to accept the money her grandfather had returned to her, Gu Jingyuan stepped out and said, "Just take it."
Before Mr. Xue could react to the reality of his grandson's appearance, he heard the little girl in front of him say in surprise, "Brother Jingyuan, why are you here?"
Seeing Gu Jingyuan was really beyond Shen Qingmiao's expectations.
Old Master Xue looked at Gu Jingyuan, then at the little girl in front of him, a guess rising in his heart. A knowing smile hung on his face.
Something is wrong, something is wrong...
"He is my grandfather, and I came to visit him." Although they had spent very little time together, Gu Jingyuan had an amazing intuition that the little girl was trustworthy.
"I haven't thanked you yet for saving my grandfather last time." Gu Jingyuan looked at Shen Qingmiao with eyes full of closeness.
Shen Qingmiao smiled sheepishly and said, "Then we're even. Brother Jingyuan, you saved me too."
"Then we're even. You must collect the medical expenses." Gu Jingyuan asked Mr. Xue to put away his own money, and then he took out the medical expenses and handed them to Shen Qingmiao.
This time Shen Qingmiao accepted it without hesitation.
I didn't accept it just now because that little bit of money might be more important to Mr. Xue, but to Gu Jingyuan, it was definitely not worth mentioning.
"Then I'll take it without hesitation."
Mr. Xue wanted to give them some time to spend together. "It's not convenient to talk here. Let's go inside and talk."
All three of them knew that there were risks in talking while standing at the door.
Gu Jingyuan looked at Shen Qingmiao to see what she was planning.
"Come in."
The old men inside were surprised to see that Mr. Xue had brought someone in. Without waiting for them to ask, Mr. Xue directly introduced Shen Qingmiao, "This girl is the one who saved me the day before yesterday. Coincidentally, she also knows my grandson."
As he spoke, Mr. Xue began to laugh. It was obvious that he was very happy.
The other old men were also surprised by this coincidence. It was too much of a coincidence!
"They also brought us food. Looks like we'll have another good meal." Old Master Xue lifted the basket high and said proudly.
Originally, Mr. Xue would not accept it, but it seemed that Jing Yuan and that girl were having an affair. Perhaps this girl was his future granddaughter-in-law. Eating the food of his future granddaughter-in-law did not burden Mr. Xue.
He finally waited for this day and hoped that his great-grandson would appear soon.
The other old men saw that Mr. Xue was showing off, and seemed to see the hidden meaning in his words. They all congratulated him and said, "Old Xue, you are so lucky!"
"That's right. I, Old Xue, have always been blessed."
Mr. Xue enjoyed the envious looks of the old men.
Shen Qingmiao and Gu Jingyuan stood aside and listened to their conversation. No wonder they called them old children, because the personalities of these old people were just like those of children.
Shen Qingmiao had a smile on her face and her eyes were as bright as stars, making Gu Jingyuan unable to look away.
This sister is so cute!
The old men brought out the unfinished food and placed it on the table (it was called a table, but it was actually just a wooden board). Then, Old Master Xue waved to Shen Qingmiao and Gu Jingyuan, saying, "Don't just stand there, you two. Come and sit down."
Shen Qingmiao and Gu Jingyuan looked at each other and sat down obediently.
Shen Qingmiao had already finished his meal and sat down to watch him. Bored, he looked around the cowshed. The room was extremely simple, with the bed made of a few wooden planks spliced together. There was a cabinet nearby, probably used for clothing. The rest was a few stools and a table made of a plank placed on a rock. Apart from these, there was nothing else.
It was obvious that although the place was simple, the old men had carefully tidied it up. Everything was clean, and even the smell was not that strong.
Gu Jingyuan was a soldier indeed; he ate just as quickly as her second brother. He finished his meal in no time and put down his bowl and chopsticks.
At first, Gu Jingyuan hadn't thought Shen Qingmiao was from Xiaohe Village. He had no idea there would be such a coincidence, and besides visiting his grandfather, he also came to see someone.
I just don't know the exact location of that person's home. Shen Qingmiao's appearance is just the right time to ask.
After dinner, Gu Jingyuan asked Shen Qingmiao, "Do you know Shen Jianjun?"
