"When your godfather was still in the health center, he asked someone and learned that the old couple has now been sent down to Jiangyang Commune in our county, which is only about ten miles away from Zhuyuan Commune where you are! Your godfather went to see them secretly several times, and they lived in a cowshed, so he had no chance to get close to them!" Li Shujuan shook her head and said with a sad face.
"The last time I put the things in a hidden place, pretended to be passing by, and slipped them a note. I don't know what happened afterwards! Since your eldest brother was arrested, it has been inconvenient for me to go there, and I was afraid of causing trouble for them!" Meng Changling continued.
"By the way! Your grandfather Liu's name is Liu Weicheng, and your grandmother Liu's name is Duan Yun! They were once the golden boy and jade girl of our generation!" Li Shujuan said with a smile as she recalled the past.
Su Nian nodded and silently memorized the names of the two people. The names were quite fashionable.
"I'll go check it out when I get a chance! It's so cold, I wonder how they're doing."
"It's not easy to get there now because of the heavy snow. We can go there in the spring when the weather gets better. There's no need to rush!"
"Well! It depends on the situation! I hope they can survive this winter safely!" Su Nian nodded, but he had his own ideas in his mind.
Su Nian chatted with the two elders for a while, and Li Shujuan was about to go cook, insisting that Su Nian eat before leaving.
"Godmother! Don't worry about me. I have fellow villagers to keep me company. Let's go to the state-owned restaurant for a big meal!" Su Nian held Li Shujuan and said with a smile.
"The food in the state-owned restaurant is not as delicious as the food cooked by my godmother! Nian Nian, you must try it before you leave!" Li Shujuan held Su Nian's hand, as if she was afraid that she would leave.
"Godmother! It's definitely not possible today. They are still waiting for me. They will be anxious if they can't see me. They will think that I have been kidnapped by human traffickers!" Su Nian joked with a smile.
"You kid! What nonsense are you talking about? However, when you go out, you must be careful and don't be deceived or cheated by others!" Li Shujuan quickly reminded.
"Hey! It's okay, godmother, don't worry! When human traffickers meet me, it's their doom!" Su Nian acted as if nothing had happened and looked nonchalant, which made Li Shujuan laugh.
"Xiao Nian, don't be careless. Keep your belongings safe. The world is really not peaceful nowadays. You might get robbed even when walking on the street!" Meng Changling also spoke.
"Godfather, don't worry, the things are absolutely safe with me, even gods can't find them!" Su Nian promised solemnly.
"Oh! You! Everything else is external, personal safety is the most important! Do you understand? If you really can't keep it, just give it up!" Meng Changling shook his head, as if blaming Su Nian for not understanding what he meant.
"Your godfather is right! Nian Nian, your safety is the most important, protect yourself first!" Li Shujuan also echoed.
"Don't worry! Godfather! Godmother! I know what to do! I'm leaving first! I'll come to see you another day!" After Su Nian said that, he turned around and walked out of the house.
"Put on your hat and scarf! And gloves!" Seeing that Su Nian really didn't want to stay for dinner, Li Shujuan hurried out to remind him.
"I know! Godmother, come and lock the door!" After Su Nian said that, she slipped out of the yard, and the corner of her clothes disappeared at the door.
Li Shujuan chased out, looked outside the door, smiled and shook her head, with a look of doting on her face. She felt that she was very lucky in this life to have such a good girl as her goddaughter.
When she closed the door and was about to go back to the house, Li Shujuan accidentally looked down and saw a large package placed on the snow pile beside the door.
Li Shujuan picked it up in confusion and went back into the house.
"Juanzi, what is that?" Meng Changling couldn't help but ask when he saw Li Shujuan walking into the house with a package in a woven bag.
"I don't know either! I saw it on the snow pile by the gate!" Li Shujuan was also puzzled.
"Could it be left by Aunt Nian?" Meng Zitao and Meng Ziyue also came over and asked.
"Just open it and you'll know!" Li Shujuan said as she opened the small package.
When the package was opened, it was filled with oil paper bags. Li Shujuan opened them one by one and saw that there was a piece of bacon, a piece of lean meat, a large piece of fat, some mushrooms, nuts, candies and so on.
Li Shujuan looked through the paper for a long time before finally finding a note:
Uncle Meng, Aunt Juan, Happy New Year!
"This kid! She's probably worried we won't accept it, so she put it at the door! She already prepared so many New Year's gifts for us before she became our daughter. Really~"
Li Shujuan was so moved that her eyes were filled with tears. She didn't know how to praise this girl. In her opinion, Su Nian was perfect now, in every way!
"Strange, how did this girl do it? When I opened the door, I saw that she didn't have anything in her hand!" Meng Changling said in confusion.
"How can your pig brain be as smart as our daughter? She must have asked her friend to help hold it and put it down when you all went into the house!"
Li Shujuan said happily, feeling that her ancestors were so lucky to have given her such a capable and kind daughter.
"Auntie is so nice!" Meng Ziyue looked at so many delicious foods, raised the rag doll she was holding, and said with a smile.
"I will definitely be filial to my aunt when I grow up!" Meng Zitao said seriously with a stern face.
"Ha! Your grandmother has a daughter, and you have an aunt, so an old man like me is not attractive anymore!" Meng Changling said jokingly, which was a rare occasion.
"Needless to say! You've never smelled good!" Li Shujuan said, putting away all the things and walking to the back of the house, "I have to put away the New Year gifts my daughter gave me! No one can find them!"
Now, the cellar is filled with things like cabbage and radishes. The anti-freeze items that Su Nian sent were packed up and buried in pits here and there by the old couple to keep them fresh and hidden.
Meng Changling looked at his wife's rosy face and smiling face, no longer as sad and sick as before, and his heart was filled with emotion.
Although he didn't know why Su Nian came to them, now, in his heart, Su Nian was their lost daughter who was finally found.
In this day and age, even biological children may not be able to do this. Many broken families are caused by relatives. Su Nian's kindness has surpassed many family ties.
Su Nian left the alley and looked back around. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he left with big strides.
Su Nian had originally planned to take that big package back as a New Year's gift, but now that she had become their goddaughter, she decided to keep it as a New Year's gift for the two elders!
As for the note, Su Nian asked Tugoubei to write it in the space and take it out, as if she had prepared it when she first arrived!
Su Nian wandered around the town aimlessly, thinking that when the time came, he would just take some New Year's goods back home.
After thinking about it, she felt that there was nothing worth buying.
Now that everyone eats from the same pot, it’s pointless for one person to buy so many New Year’s goods. Just make do with how the New Year goes!
If I hadn't wanted to come and see Meng Changling and his wife, I wouldn't have followed them.
