What a heartless little thing!
Thinking this, Grandma Wang looked at Liu Shile and the others with very gentle eyes, truly regarding these children as her own juniors.
"It's alright, Grandma Wang. I brought some things back with me, so it'll have to make do." Liu Shile didn't seem to care.
As she spoke, she squatted down, opened the package that was placed to the side, and took out a few dried fish. The snacks processed by the system tasted exceptionally good.
Yes, Liu Shile has basically kept the workshop running non-stop since it opened, so she just made some this time.
Miaomiao carried the dried fish away by itself, and only then did Liu Shile take out the gift she had brought for Grandma Wang. It wasn't anything valuable, just some calligraphy and paintings, and some fabrics.
Well, Liu Shile's trip to another city wasn't in vain this time. Although the situation there was very serious, there were still quite a few things that could be 'picked up'.
"Grandma Wang, I didn't bring back anything nice this time. I'll give these little trinkets to you. I hope you like them."
Liu Shile looked at Grandma Wang with a smile. Although she had learned to paint from Grandma Wang, her appreciation skills were not very good because Grandma Wang did not have many paintings and calligraphy works, and she had seen very few.
But it didn't matter. She thought it looked pretty and put it away. Anyway, it didn't take up much space, so it didn't matter if it wasn't anything special.
As the little girl proudly presented the scroll to her, Grandma Wang felt her eyes well up with tears. She hadn't received a gift from anyone for many years.
She remembered how her husband and children would bring her gifts every time they came back, whatever they thought she would like.
She thought she would never have such a day again in her life, but unexpectedly she met this little girl who didn't forget to bring her a gift even when she went out of town.
However, she didn't want to lose her composure in front of the younger generation, so she forced back her tears and said, "You child, you're just going out, why did you bring me a gift?"
You can't do that again, okay? I don't need anything. You all just need to protect yourselves out there, understand?
Grandma Wang was so happy that she was almost incoherent.
Okay, she's a slightly arrogant old lady, confirmed!
Liu Shile nodded in agreement, but she would still do what she was supposed to do in the future, so it didn't matter if she agreed to these trivial matters.
After she finished eating, Grandma Wang immediately told her to go and rest. This child had come all the way from so far away, she deserved a good rest.
Although Liu Shile didn't feel particularly tired, she didn't refuse the old lady's kindness. After taking a good bath, she went back to her room to rest.
Meow Meow is quite clever; it didn't come to cause trouble at this time and stayed quietly with Grandma Wang.
When Liu Shihua returned home, she learned that her younger sister had come back, and she finally felt relieved.
He was still thinking about when his sister would come back. School is about to start, and if she doesn't come back soon, what will happen to him when school starts?
Some time ago, when he went back to his hometown, his older sister asked about Lele. In the past, it was always Lele who went home, but this holiday he was the one who went back, and he almost couldn't take it anymore.
During dinner that evening, Liu Shihua, who was seeing her younger sister, carefully asked her about her experience on this trip. She was only relieved to hear that everything was alright.
Then he suggested, "Little sister, why don't you come home before school starts?"
“Sure, I haven’t been back in a long time. My medical skills have improved this time, so I’ll go back and check on Dad’s leg.”
Liu Shile nodded. She had learned quite a lot this time, and she could take a pulse for her father when she got back.
However, her father's leg was crushed by a rock, and she estimated that some bones were broken, which would require surgery to remove.
Actually, if her mental strength were stronger, she could get a scan done and treat it without surgery, but unfortunately she doesn't have that ability now.
Seeing that his sister was not like this, Liu Shihua was truly relieved. He had been worried that his sister didn't want to go home, but now it seemed that he had worried too much.
So after dinner, Liu Shihua hurriedly went to the grain station to ask for a few days off. He wanted to go home with his sister and earn some money before school started.
Yes, the wild fruits on the mountain are still there. Liu Shihua hasn't forgotten about them, but he didn't pick many because of the heavy rains earlier.
Those that were picked were either given away or sold, and we made a little money, but there are still many fuzzy fruits hanging in the mountains.
The next morning, the brother and sister took a car home. When they arrived, the family was just having breakfast. Seeing them return, Liu Shixi happily invited them to eat.
"Oh, you're having egg noodles for breakfast this morning?" Liu Shile noticed their breakfast and understood. See, the food at home isn't bad when they're not there.
Liu Shixi was a little embarrassed, but Zhang Sumei nodded with a smile: "I heard that the disaster is over, so we can finally relax. Let's have something good to celebrate."
She seemed to be explaining why they were eating so well. Didn't she complain to her second son about being poor and struggling financially just a while ago? But today they're eating refined grains!
In the past, Zhang Sumei would never have bothered to make excuses, but later she realized that she couldn't raise them for nothing all these years, and that they would have to work like slaves for the family from now on.
So she explained to them that this was not how they usually ate at home, and that it was only done this way for celebrations.
Liu Shile let out a long "Oh," and said cheerfully, "That's great! We haven't had breakfast yet either. Let's go make some noodles. Big sister, do you still have noodles at home?"
Liu Shile laughed heartily, and as she spoke, she looked at her eldest sister. Liu Shixi nodded subconsciously, glanced at her mother's somewhat unpleasant expression, and shook her head knowingly.
This Lele, she makes her mom angry as soon as she gets back. She's so naughty. Actually, her mom has it tough too. Why should the family be at odds with each other?
"Second brother, did you bring me candy again?" Having not seen Liu Shile for a long time, Liu Shiping was no longer afraid of her and stared intently at what Liu Shihua was carrying.
Liu Shile glanced at him but didn't pay any attention. The little brat was really greedy. As soon as he came back, he asked for candy. He was so pathetic.
His question piqued Zhang Sumei's curiosity. She noticed that her second son usually brought things back home, but her brat never did.
They came back together this time, and they even brought some things. Could it be that they want to ask her for tuition fees?
She pondered to herself, but showed no sign of it on her face. She only pretended to scold her precious son a couple of times before smiling and saying, "You two, you're back, why did you bring anything?"
That's what she said, but a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes. If they really wanted to ask her for tuition, she wouldn't be polite to them.
It was agreed beforehand that they would pay their own tuition fees. Now that they don't have the money, they want to ask her for tuition fees? No way!
