Yang Jiancheng smiled and said, "These things were all prepared by Qiaoqiao. Please accept them. It's at least a token of my appreciation."

The things were distributed by the people in the field office. Although they were not expensive, they were all useful during the New Year and were quite cost-effective.

Afterwards, the master and his wife stayed at the office to chat with people, while Uncle Rong and Aunt Rong started wandering around the farm.

Luo Qiao and her family carried offerings to Grandma Luo's grave, laid out the offerings, and lit incense. Then Luo Qiao spoke: "Grandma, I've brought my husband and children to see you."

After letting a few children come to pay their respects, Lu Yichen took them somewhere else.

After they left, Luo Qiao talked to Grandma Luo for a long time, and finally said, "Grandma, I'm leaving now. I'll come back to see you when I have time."

When they returned, the master was examining Wu Laoliu's grandson, but he was frowning the whole time.

Wu Laoliu's son and daughter-in-law both work in the city. The factory was short of staff during the Spring Festival, and the wages were higher than usual, so the couple did not come back for the Spring Festival this year.

Wu Laoliu said, "The child was a little listless a few days ago, and has lost his appetite these days. He often complains of stomachaches. I took him to the barefoot doctor in the village, who said there might be worms in his stomach. He took anti-worm medicine, but it didn't get better.

And yesterday, red bumps appeared on the child's body. I was worried and wanted to ask his parents to come back and take him to the hospital in the city for a check-up."

Yang Jiancheng withdrew his hand and said, "The barefoot doctor's diagnosis is correct. He does have ascariasis. He took the medicine but it didn't work. It could be that the dosage was not enough or the medicine has lost its effect."

Wu Laoliu said: "It's good if it's not another disease. I'll go there again right away."

Wu Laoliu came on a tricycle. He put the child on the tricycle, thanked Yang Jiancheng, and then prepared to leave.

Wu Laoliu didn't expect to get so many good things during this trip. He didn't know what to say. He clasped his hands together and kept saying, "Thank you, thank you."

After Wu Laoliu left, Director Zhang spoke up, "I'm afraid the medicine we got from the barefoot doctor has lost its effect. This has happened before."

This kind of thing is sometimes unavoidable in the village nowadays. Maybe few people use the medicinal materials, and they are kept for a long time, so they expire without being noticed.

Next, Luo Qiao and the others accompanied the master and his wife to take another look at their old residence. Unfortunately, the house had collapsed as it had been uninhabited for a long time.

When Yang Jiancheng saw the house where Mr. Yuan lived, he suddenly fell silent.

Luo Qiao knew that they must be thinking of Grandpa Yuan. At that time, they would be happy for several days after eating a meal of meat. Grandpa Yuan’s hearty laughter could often be heard from the yard, as if the old man’s laughter was still lingering in the yard, but he could never be seen again.

Luo Qiao was afraid that the master couldn't bear it, so he took them away and went to other places on the farm. Many people came up to say hello along the way.

Twenty years have passed, and I don’t recognize some of them anymore, but when I mention who the elders in the family are, they can all identify them and can even remember one or two funny things from their childhood, and everyone’s laughter can be heard from time to time.

It was getting dark and time for them to leave. Luo Qiao had asked people to unload the remaining things from the car. It happened that Director Zhang said that everyone on the farm would have a dinner together on the fifth day of the first lunar month every year, so the things could be used.
