"Take all of this. Although it's not much, it's a token of my appreciation. Your relatives are unreliable, so I'll be the one to buy the dowry. Otherwise, you'll be looked down upon by your in-laws when you get married."
Jiang Mingxin was about to refuse when Grandpa Fang glared at him.
"Take it, or I'll be mad!"
Grandpa Fang truly treated her like his granddaughter, so she had no choice but to accept the dowry.
The two then began to sort out the bookstore's accounts.
After deducting the cost, the net profit was 357. Grandpa Fang insisted on splitting the profit with her 30% to 70%, otherwise he would quit.
Jiang Mingxin had no choice but to obey him.
"Are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat."
Jiang Mingxin got up and went to the kitchen to knead the dough to make noodles for his grandfather at noon.
As I was kneading the dough, flour got into my eyes and they turned red all of a sudden.
She was a person who lacked love, from her previous life to this life, especially family affection, which she had always sought but could never get. Unexpectedly, she found the compensation in Grandpa Fang.
Sometimes blood relationship really doesn't prove anything.
She and Grandpa Fang had never met before, but because they got along well, they gradually became family.
Grandpa Fang didn't dare walk around in the new house, for fear of dirtying the floor, so he sat on the sofa, eating melon seeds and watching TV.
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
He called Jiang Mingxin twice, but she was cutting vegetables in the kitchen and didn't hear him.
Grandpa Fang stood up and opened the door.
However, there was no one outside the door. When I looked down, I saw a beautifully packaged fruit basket.
There was a note on it: Happy New Year, Jiang Mingxin.
When Grandpa Fang found out that this was a gift from someone else to Jiang Mingxin, he didn't doubt it and immediately reached out to take it.
The fruit basket is heavy, as if it is filled with fruit.
Grandpa Fang had just brought the fruit basket into the house, but before he even reached the living room, the ribbon on the basket slipped off.
He reached out to pick it up, and suddenly a flame lit up inside the fruit basket.
BOOM!
The fruit basket exploded.
The close-range explosion caused Jiang Mingxin to experience tinnitus instantly.
When the tinnitus subsided, her brain nerves reacted and she immediately put down the knife and ran towards the living room.
In the shaky sight, Grandpa Fang was lying unconscious on the ground.
Face down, motionless.
Countless red and white blocks of color were spread on the floor, like firecrackers that had been blown off.
Jiang Mingxin opened his mouth slightly, but no sound came out of his throat.
She rushed over trembling, but stared at the mess in front of her, not knowing how to deal with it.
"Call, call an ambulance."
When people are in extreme panic, their reactions will be slow and they may even find it difficult to respond correctly.
Fortunately, Jiang Mingxin had experienced a lot and was stronger than ordinary people. He staggered to the sofa, picked up the phone receiver, and dialed the number accurately.
However, no one answered the 120 call for a long time.
Jiang Mingxin waited for two or three minutes, but couldn't wait any longer, so she angrily called Bai Dingxian's home.
"Director Bai, please help me!"
"There was an explosion. Someone wanted to kill me. Someone wanted to kill me... Grandpa Fang was injured in the explosion. Quickly find someone to save him!"
Bai Dingxian jumped up from the sofa.
"Mingxin, don't worry, I'll be right there! Ambulance, have you called an ambulance?"
"No one answered the phone, no one answered!" Jiang Mingxin pounded the floor, her eyes quickly filled with bloodshot, her ears buzzing, all from the sound of the explosion just now.
Why?
Why wasn't she more careful?
Knowing that someone wanted to take revenge on her, why did she leave Grandpa Fang alone in the living room?
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Mingxin slapped himself in the face.
Then he hurriedly found the first aid kit at home and wanted to stop Grandpa Fang's bleeding.
But his wound was open, and she looked at it again and again, almost not knowing where to start.
The other party didn't know what material the bomb was made of. The explosion range didn't seem to be large, so it must be homemade, otherwise her living room would not have been able to remain intact.
"Grandpa, hold on, the doctor will be here soon. I..."
Jiang Mingxin found the area where the bleeding was most severe and pressed it with a dressing to stop the bleeding.
Grandpa Fang's lips suddenly moved, "Girl, don't be sad... I was hit by an enemy grenade before... when I was on the front line... but it wasn't... it wasn't..."
Survived the same.
But he was still very young at that time, and he was saved because there were sandbags piled up nearby.
About five minutes later, Bai Dingxian arrived with Bai Jiwen and Bai Jiwu at lightning speed.
The brothers' unit was going to have a major downsizing after the New Year, so they were allowed to go home for the New Year.
Originally, they were unhappy when they learned that Bai Ruoxi was kicked out of the house by her father. They were trying to persuade Bai Dingxian to change his mind, but they didn't expect such a thing to happen in Jiang Mingxin's family.
"Is the ambulance here?" Jiang Mingxin asked loudly.
Bai Dingxian pointed downstairs and said, "They're coming up soon! You said there was an explosion, how can this be..."
When he saw Grandpa Fang lying on the ground in a bloody mess, he swallowed the last word.
Bai Jiwen and Bai Jiwu had learned basic mine clearance in the army and had some understanding of bombs.
Looking at the situation at the scene, it was quickly determined that the person who made the bomb was a novice.
When the doctors and nurses arrived, they were a little panicked when they saw the situation. They directly lifted Grandpa Fang onto a stretcher and sent him to the city hospital as quickly as possible.
Their county hospital obviously cannot handle this kind of injury.
"Jiang Mingxin, are you okay?" Seeing that her steps were unsteady, Bai Jiwen quickly reached out to support her.
Bai Jiwu couldn't help but said with concern: "Don't worry, we drove here and will take you to the hospital right away."
