"Hmm!" Wu Zheng immediately took a step back and raised his hands: "No! We were just... passing by! Just passing by!"
After saying that, he glanced at Chen Yu.
Chen Yu was indifferent for a moment. Although he didn't understand why the pursuit of the thief ended up in his home, he also echoed: "I was just passing by."
"Let's go~"
The little girl waved the broom fiercely.
The two men were driven away.
Even though he was full of suspicion, he didn't ask any more questions. Only Wu Zheng muttered, "I just helped her block a shovel... How heartless."
At this time, grandma was sitting on the kang in the room. Seeing her coming and going, she asked curiously, "Where have you been?"
"Go for a walk."
Shen Rongrong lied and looked up to see her grandmother coughing again. But she handed her two hot buns wrapped in a towel, her eyes smiling.
"Eat quickly, I saved this for you. It's not cold yet... cough cough."
Shen Rongrong held the buns in her hand, blaming herself for going out confidently for the whole afternoon but not getting a penny back. She felt sour again: "Thank you grandma... for not thinking I'm stupid and being kind to me."
"What's wrong with being stupid?" Grandma smiled and lowered her eyes: "In one's life... being too smart is not necessarily a good thing."
After saying that, he raised his head again, his eyes became watery and his smile revealed a bit of bitterness.
"Grandma~?" Shen Rongrong was startled and immediately reached out her sleeve to wipe her tears: "Why are you crying...?"
"When grandma sees you... she thinks of her youth." Grandma said, raising her hand and pointing to a tree far away outside the window, "That tree was planted by Grandpa himself on my eighteenth birthday. At that time, everyone said I was stupid and that I would never get married. But he said... this is not stupidity, this is a blessing. Grandma knows that you are also a blessed child..."
Grandma is indeed a blessed person.
The original text: The Chen family had only one son for five generations. Perhaps due to physical problems, it was difficult to have children. Great grandfather had nine wives and concubines but only one daughter, so he invited a son-in-law to inherit the family business. Grandfather also had three wives and concubines and was nearly fifty years old before he gave birth to a son. After grandma married grandpa, she got pregnant and gave birth to a boy in just three years.
If her grandfather had not died young in the army, she would definitely have given birth to more children and broken the Chen family's curse of only one son.
"grandmother……"
Shen Rongrong wanted to say something to comfort her, but grandma suddenly sighed: "Okay, you eat first, grandma is going to sleep... Grandma... is tired."
Grandma passed away just like that. Shen Rongrong looked at her back and felt that she was sad.
After eating the buns, when she was about to go out to dig some more food, she saw her grandmother lying on the bed, sleeping motionlessly with an old, badly faded photo in her hand.
The wear and tear of time has made it difficult to see the face of the person in the photo. All that can be seen is a man in military uniform standing under a tree and saluting.
Looking at the photo, Shen Rongrong suddenly understood why her grandmother was crying just now.
My adoptive mother said that it was very prestigious to marry a soldier and become a military wife, but she never thought that the soldiers’ wives also have to bear the same responsibilities and obligations. The stability of the entire country is supported by thousands of such men and women, and women have never suffered less than men.
The Chen family has been in the army for generations, protecting their country generation after generation. She watched the world change, the country become increasingly powerful, and her grandson getting married. That tear was both joy and sorrow.
Shen Rongrong stood by the bed for a long time.
In the eyes of most fairies, humans are as fragile and short-lived as ants, but ants also have their own emotions and pursuits. Just like a small snail with no special abilities... it can also repair some things.
All things have spirits. Recently, grandma has been making different kinds of food for her, and she has also eaten all the treasures dug up from the river... maybe they can be used.
Thinking about it, she slowly raised her hand.
As a layer of thin white light appeared on the fingertips, it flickered and jumped like fireflies... when the light faded, two drops of crystal clear snail mucus slid from the fingertips and fell onto the old photo.
Not only did the photos look as bright as new, but the people in them also regained their original appearance.
It was clear that he was a man with an upright figure and a resolute face. He served his country with loyalty and was totally worthy of my grandmother's lifelong companionship.
"You must live well." After placing the photo back on grandma's pillow, he gently stroked her forehead: "The mountains and rivers are eternal, and their will is immortal. He fought for his country and was buried in the mountains and rivers, but his heart must follow you. You have to watch for him, the sun and the moon rotate, the seasons change, and look at this prosperous era, the country is peaceful, and the people are safe."
After saying that, he quietly closed the door and left.
As soon as she walked out of the door, her body suddenly went limp and she slid down to the ground.
It is quite difficult for a human body to support the operation of the soul.
She could repair the worn-out photos, but she couldn't repair grandma's body, so she had to save money as soon as possible. As long as she had money, she could get a car and trick grandma into going to the city hospital for a physical examination.
Thinking of this, Shen Rongrong got up again, ate a bun while getting a new shovel, and slipped out of the door before it got completely dark, heading for the river.
Chen Yu and Wu Zheng, who were waiting outside, saw her come out and immediately followed her quietly.
Shen Rongrong was quick to notice this time. She turned around and pointed a shovel at the two of them: "You guys! Are just stalkers~ and hooligans!"
This girl looks as fierce as a kitten. She can even curse a hooligan while holding a bun in her mouth.
Wu Zheng raised his hands and said innocently: "We..."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Yu beside him admitted in a sonorous voice: "It was stalking."
"No, you want to be a gangster, but I don't want to..." Wu Zheng was a little anxious, but he bared his teeth the next moment, "We just want to buy your antiques! We have money! Really!"
"Did you bring money?" Shen Rongrong, who was desperate for money, heard the word "money" and her eyes lit up. She pushed the shovel forward a little: "How much did you bring?"
The two men looked at each other again.
It seems like... they were robbed by a stupid girl with a shovel?
