However, Grandma Wang didn't say what it was about, but instead pulled out a pocket watch from somewhere.
Her gaze at the pocket watch was filled with longing, and her hand holding it trembled slightly.
Liu Shile did not use her mental power to examine the contents of the pocket watch.
She had checked on Grandma Wang's situation before, but out of respect for Grandma Wang, she had not visited her.
Grandma Wang rarely mentions her husband and children, but that doesn't mean she doesn't miss them.
Grandma Wang tremblingly opened the pocket watch, but the hands of the watch had long since stopped turning.
But it is well preserved because there is a photo inside, a family photo.
Liu Shile was somewhat surprised when she saw the family photo.
But instead of asking any questions, she carefully examined the person in the photo.
In the photo, a younger version of Grandma Wang leans happily against a man who looks very upright.
Behind them stood three smiling young men who looked a lot like Grandma Wang.
I suppose these must be Grandma Wang's husband and sons?
But what does Grandma Wang mean by taking out the photos at this time?
Could it be that Grandma Wang wants me to help her find someone?
But Grandma Wang said they're all gone.
You should know that Grandma Wang has the honorary title of "family member of a martyr".
This means that the deaths of her husband and sons were confirmed.
However, this isn't an era of advanced technology, so errors are still possible.
"Lele, although I know the hope is slim, I still don't believe they're all gone."
Grandma Wang didn't immediately tell Liu Shile what to do.
Rather, it shows that although she had received news of their deaths, she still held onto a last glimmer of hope.
Then, in a manner that was both reminiscent and lucid, she briefly explained their situation to Liu Shile.
"They said they would come back for me after they won the battle."
As she said this, tears welled up in Grandma Wang's eyes.
Liu Shile handed over the handkerchief, which Grandma Wang took and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Then he continued, "But I waited and waited, and what I received was news of their sacrifice."
I don't believe it. I didn't see their bodies or their belongings, so I don't want to believe it.
I always wonder if they will suddenly appear in front of me one day.
So I didn't dare leave and stayed home waiting for them to come back.
At this moment, Liu Shile had already begun to gently pat the old lady's back to help her catch her breath.
Grandma Wang's appearance actually brought back optimistic memories of her past.
She did not see her parents' bodies when she lost them at a young age.
She was young at the time, and even if she had suspicions, she was powerless to find anything out.
Moreover, that was a time when people were fighting to the death against zombies, and losing their lives was commonplace.
As she grew older, she didn't notice anything amiss about her parents' deaths, so she didn't investigate.
Although her heart hadn't completely turned cold, she would occasionally recall the warmth of her parents' presence.
However, it is far too insignificant compared to a cold-blooded apocalypse.
To be honest, she didn't think about her parents for a long time afterward.
After arriving in this era and encountering that cheap mother, her heart hardened even more.
The longer Liu Shile lived in this era, the more she absorbed the peaceful and positive atmosphere here.
Seeing Grandma Wang cry now, she is also not at peace with herself.
However, Grandma Wang's emotions came and went quickly.
All I can say is that Grandma Wang has excellent control over her emotions.
The reason is probably that after so many years of waiting, she has become accustomed to it.
"Weren't they in the country when the incident happened?" Liu Shile asked, somewhat puzzled, as it seemed there weren't many battles fought abroad.
Grandma Wang shook her head, "Where they go is a secret, so I don't know much about it either."
At this point, Grandma Wang gently patted Liu Shile's hand.
"I just still have a sliver of hope that they are alive."
But I also know that the hope is very slim. The reason I showed you their appearance is just because I have a fantasy.
I just hope that when you're traveling, you can keep an eye out for them, just in case they're still around.
At this point, Grandma Wang's voice lowered again.
"Grandma Wang, these photos are quite old. How about you draw a few little pictures of them for me?"
Speaking of which, Liu Shile felt that there was someone in the photo who looked somewhat familiar.
That one seems to be Grandma Wang's eldest son, but she couldn't quite place him.
However, if there were clear, small drawings, perhaps she could recognize them?
Grandma Wang was taken aback when she heard this, and then shook her head. "I'm really getting old. I never thought of drawing it."
She can't say she's forgotten her talent for painting, but she also can't say she remembers it all the time.
Because there are some things she has long kept hidden, not easily shown to others.
So Grandma Wang got busy.
It's been a while since I've drawn, so I started off a bit slowly.
Fortunately, Liu Shile wasn't in a hurry.
After getting used to it, Grandma Wang started drawing faster.
Because no coloring is required, it's even faster.
Liu Shile hadn't left, so when Grandma Wang drew her eldest son, she frowned.
She really felt like she had seen someone before, someone who bore a resemblance to this person.
She had met so many people that she couldn't immediately recall who that person was.
Furthermore, a slight resemblance does not necessarily mean that they are related.
After all, while no two leaves in this world are exactly alike, there are quite a few that are similar.
So there are naturally other people who look similar, so we need to verify this before we can tell Grandma Wang.
To avoid saying it too early, only to find out it wasn't true in the end, and causing unnecessary sadness.
By the time Grandma Wang finished painting a few small pictures, it was almost dark.
Fortunately, little Liu Shi'an is exceptionally sensible. Seeing that Grandma Wang and her sister hadn't come out, she picked some vegetables in the yard.
Then they washed them carefully and prepared them, just waiting for Grandma Wang and her sister to finish cooking.
At Grandma Wang's house, Liu Shi'an's meals were excellent.
First of all, Grandma Wang's yard is quite large, and it has a very complete variety of fruits and vegetables.
Furthermore, Grandma Wang is a good cook; the food she makes is delicious.
Finally, Grandma Wang genuinely cared for Liu Shi'an, so she cooked with great care.
For Liu Shi'an, this kind of life was simply like living in paradise!
Therefore, he was grateful to his second sister, and equally grateful to Grandma Wang.
He was very clever, so when he saw Grandma Wang busy, he would help her too.
So even though he is only four years old, he can do quite a lot of work.
This made Grandma Wang both gratified and heartbroken; he should have been playing carefree.
Then, Grandma Wang began to teach Liu Shi'an to recognize characters.
Liu Shi'an had always wanted to study because her mother always praised her third brother for his good grades.
It's not a pity, because Third Brother won't let him see his books.
When he tried to get closer to his third brother, his third brother would either mock and ridicule him or chase him away.
