"Qingcheng family, I'm here to bring you a basket!"
Around 3 p.m., Yu Qingyou, as usual, returned from town and took the vegetable basket back to the Hua family's old house.
"Uncle Qingyou, the door is not locked, come in yourself."
Yu Xiaotian, who was feeding fresh grass to the billy goats in the front yard, shouted outside.
I don’t know if it was Yu Qing’s illusion, but when he moved several stacks of baskets into the yard, he felt that the last stack was particularly heavy. Maybe he was too tired and had no strength left.
"Uncle Qingyou, have a drink of water!"
Feeling extremely exhausted, Yu Qingyou took the cup handed to him by Yu Xiaotian, drank the water, and then drove the ox cart back to the east of the village.
After feeding the male goat and milking a large basin of milk, Yu Xiaotian went back to the room in the backyard to feed Xiaobai.
Tired from the long journey, Mulanjin, who had been sleeping in the basket, slowly woke up. After crawling out of the basket, he found himself in a shabby but clean and tidy farmyard.
"who I am?"
"Where am I?"
"Could this be my home?"
Mulan Jin, full of doubts, was planning to walk around, but because he was too hungry, he felt dizzy and was about to fall to the ground. Yu Xiaotian, who had just returned from the backyard with a milk basin after feeding the tiger cub, saw him and hurried forward to support him.
"Grandpa! Grandpa! Are you okay?"
grandfather?
It turns out that he is the grandfather of this family! Mulan Jin, who was confused, finally fainted.
It was about 4:45 PM, and the sun was still a bit scorching. Yu Xiaotian struggled to help the strong old man to the foot of the tree in the yard. Looking at his flushed face, Yu Xiaotian guessed that he had heatstroke and went back to the kitchen to get a glass of boiled water.
"Poor old man!"
Seeing Mulanjin suddenly appear in his yard, dusty and naked, Yu Xiaotian's clear, bright eyes were filled with sympathy. He lifted the old man up and tried to give him water, but was again in a dilemma. What a long beard! It even covered his mouth. How much suffering had he endured outside? He didn't even have a beard to care for.
After setting the bowl of water aside, Yu Xiaotian returned to the kitchen to fetch a pair of scissors. "Snip, snip," he quickly shaved off Mulanjin's handsome beard, which had been growing for years. Looking at the prickly stubble, he returned to his room to fetch a razor and carefully cleaned the poor homeless man's face.
After cleaning up the annoying beard, Yu Xiaotian finally succeeded in feeding the old man some water. As soon as the thirsty lips of the dazed Mulanjin touched the water, she instinctively gulped down the whole bowl of water.
Seeing the old man's complexion improve, Yu Xiaotian fetched another basin of water, soaked a handkerchief with it, wiped his face, and even tidied his hair. Seeing the old man naked, his body wrapped in leaves, Yu Xiaotian remembered his own childhood wanderings and felt sorry for him, so he went back to his room and got him an old piece of clothing to wear.
Mulan Jin, whose body had been tossed around, finally woke up again.
"Grandpa, you're awake! That's great!"
"Grandpa is just grandpa, why add the word 'old'? Do I look old?"
Mulan Jin, who considered herself the owner of this dilapidated courtyard, glanced speechlessly at the handsome young man in front of her.
"Okay, Grandpa, wait a moment, I'll go to the kitchen and get you something to eat."
Yu Xiaotian went back to the kitchen, heated up the leftover food from lunch, and brought it to the old man who was sitting under a big tree in the yard to enjoy the cool air.
After eating a bowl of rice, Mulan Jin, who had been hungry for several meals, finally felt refreshed.
"Grandpa, where do you live? I'll have Uncle Qingyou take you back in a bullock cart later."
Bullock cart? Didn’t he just come here in a bullock cart?
"This is my home, where do you want me to go? You unfilial brat!"
Seeing that her grandson was actually trying to kick her out, Mulan Jin stretched out a big hand and slapped him on the butt twice.
"Okay, I've finished my meal. I'm tired now. Take me back to my room and rest for a while!"
Although he didn't know why his memory was gone, since he called him grandpa, it meant that he was a member of this family. He didn't have to be polite. What was wrong with his grandson ordering him around?
"No... no! Grandpa..."
Seeing Yu Xiaotian standing there in a daze like a log, Mulanjin had no choice but to walk towards the backyard. When he saw the largest room in the middle of the backyard, he was about to push the door open and go in.
"Grandpa! No! That's my wife's room!"
Mulan Jin, who had already stretched out her hand to push the door open, stopped in her tracks. It turned out that this young man was not her grandson, but her grandson's husband?
The backyard is the bedroom of Hua Qingcheng and her husbands. Yu Xiaotian, who has already had sex, naturally doesn't want to let outsiders live there. In the end, he brought the angry Mulanjin back to the front yard.
"What's going on? What's this?"
Hua Qingcheng, Mu Lige, Situ Ye and Han Yichen had just returned to their front yard when they saw an angry old man sitting under a big tree, with Yu Xiaotian standing next to him and being scolded.
Seeing his wife coming back, Yu Xiaotian hurried over and lowered his voice to describe the miserable situation of the homeless old man in detail, and also told him how he fed him water, fed him, and changed his clothes.
"Anyway, he's a poor old man, and his mind doesn't seem to be very clear."
After Yu Xiaotian finished speaking, he looked at the old man with sympathy.
Upon hearing this, Hua Qingcheng moved toward the old man beneath the tree. Though his hair was white, his eyes were bright, his nose was high, and his lips were sharply defined. Despite his age, he possessed a distinguished demeanor, evidently proving he must have been a strikingly handsome man in his youth. Furthermore, Hua Qingcheng inexplicably sensed a familiar air of dignity and presence about him, akin to that of a soldier.
