Yao Bin held her hand and said, "This is just a small token of our appreciation, and it can't really help you much."
"Oh dear, how much is this? Quickly, take it back and return it!"
Luo Shimiao touched the cracked wall and said, "Grandma, it can't be refunded."
"How much is it? I'll give it to you." She said, taking out money wrapped in a plastic bag from her pocket: "This is definitely not enough. I'll go get my savings account; I have some money saved for my funeral in there."
Lai Meiqi stepped forward and put her arm around her shoulder: "Grandma, these things don't cost much. We're still young and can earn money."
"It's too valuable. Please give me something, or I'll feel uneasy."
"Grandma, do you still have a plot of land for your house?"
"Huh?" Grandma Xiaojun looked at Luo Shimiao in confusion, not understanding why she suddenly asked this: "Yes, yes."
"Then will you sell it to me? The environment here is nice, and the people are nice too. I really like this place and want to build a house here so I can come and stay for a few days during my vacation." Luo Shimiao looked at her with a smile.
Grandma has to use her life savings to buy furniture. If you directly offer to build her a house, she definitely won't accept it. So she'll try a different approach.
"This... I need to discuss it with my son. Our village is quite remote, the farthest from the town. Do you really want to build a house here?"
"I would love to. It would be even better if we could build a house on the back hill. My third brother is still sleeping in the treehouse. After our publicity efforts, your village might become more lively in the future."
"You're talking badly about me behind my back again. If I don't beat you up today, you'll ruin my reputation." Luo Jianxing appeared in front of them, leading Li Man by the hand.
"Grandma, save me!" Luo Shimiao hid behind Xiao Jun's grandma.
"He's your brother, right? They're both very good-looking."
"Grandma has a good eye. This is my third brother, and the one next to him is his girlfriend."
"You two look very alike, like twins."
Gu Nian glanced at him and said quietly, "I thought you wouldn't come down the mountain until the day you went back."
Luo Luo ran over, saying, "Uncle, hug me!"
"Oh, my little darling." Luo Jianxing bent down and picked her up.
"Hello, Auntie!"
Li Man smiled and playfully pinched the tip of her nose: "Who taught you to say that?"
"Uncle."
She looked at the handsome man with a half-smile.
Luo Jianxing raised an eyebrow: "Isn't that right? Uncle's wife is called Auntie."
Grandma Xiaojun said happily, "They are a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman."
Luo Shimiao winked at Lai Meiqi.
She understood and said, "Grandma, Xiaojun, let's go inside. We bought some small gifts for you. The beds and sofas can be taken care of by the workers."
"I don't even know how to thank you enough."
Just as Luo Shimiao and Lai Meiqi were about to help Xiao Jun's grandmother back, a childish voice rang out.
“Little chicks~” Luo Luo pointed to the tender yellow chicks following behind the mother hen in the yard.
Gu Nian pressed his fist to his lips: "Cough cough."
Apart from the grandfather and grandson, everyone else present looked rather strange.
"Uncle, put me down, I want to catch your little penis."
“Um…” Luo Jian moved her lips slightly, “Luo Luo, some things can’t be said with reduplicated words, so take one less word.”
Luo Luo tilted her head, her eyes as clear as glass: "Chicken?"
Luo Shimiao rubbed his forehead and said, "Call him 'Little Chicken,' but remember, you can't call him 'Little Chicken Chicken,' and you can't call him 'Chicken Chicken.'"
"Oh, oh." She frowned in confusion: "Little chicken, chicken, why can't it make a sound?"
"You're repeating yourself!"
Grandma Xiaojun also asked in confusion, "Yes, is there a problem?"
Luo Shimiao leaned close to her ear, put his hand to his lips, and said something unintelligible.
After hearing this, Grandma Xiaojun covered her face shyly, turned around and went into the house.
Lai Meiqi, Luo Shimiao, and Yao Bin, who was dragging a suitcase, followed them inside.
Gu Nian, Luo Jianxing, and Li Man accompanied Luo Luo as she caught chicks.
"Grandma, try these clothes on and see if they fit." Lai Meiqi took the clothes out of the suitcase and put them on the bed: "Xiaojun, these are yours."
When Grandma Xiaojun saw the pile of clothes, which looked like a small mountain, her eyes immediately welled up with tears: "Thank you, thank you, thank you so much."
“I’m unlucky. My wife passed away early, and Xiaojun’s father injured his leg in an accident. He works in the city but his wages are not high, barely enough to support the family.”
"Xiao Jun's mother was diagnosed with cancer, and it was already in its late stage. We borrowed money to treat her, but she couldn't fight the disease and passed away in less than a month."
Lai Meiqi lowered her eyes and sighed softly: "The rope always breaks at its thinnest point, and misfortune always finds those who are unfortunate."
"Perhaps even God couldn't bear to see me like this, which is why I, an old woman with one foot in the grave, met you kind-hearted children." Grandma Xiaojun threw away her cane and suddenly knelt down.
The three of them were so frightened that they also knelt down.
What are you doing here?
Luo Shimiao helped her sit down on the edge of the bed: "Grandma, there's no need for thanks, come and try on the clothes."
Laughter could be heard from inside the house from time to time. Half an hour later, they came out of the room and found that the once empty living room was now filled with brand-new furniture.
Luo Shimiao slapped his head: "Oh dear, the cake is still outside, I forgot to bring it in."
Lai Meiqi: "Oh right, and snacks too."
"I'll go out and bring it in." Yao Bin walked towards the door.
"Grandma, do you know how many households there are in the village?" Luo Shimiao asked, thinking about the batch of cakes she had ordered.
“Our village isn’t big, let me count.” Grandma Xiaojun counted carefully on her fingers.
A few minutes later he said, "23 households, why are you asking about that?"
"I ordered some cakes to give to them to try." Luo Shimiao frowned. She hadn't ordered enough. Luckily, she had left the cake shop owner's phone number.
He checked his pockets but couldn't find his phone, so he started to walk out, only to bump into Yao Bin, who was rushing in carrying snacks and cake.
She asked in confusion, "What's this?"
"My God! Your niece is so fierce, chasing chickens all over the yard, leaving dust and chicken feathers everywhere."
When Luo Shimiao went outside, she saw Gu Nian chasing away the chicken that had flown onto her. Luo Jianxing and Li Man covered their mouths and noses and hid far away.
"Don't run away, big hen!" Luo Luo chased after a hen.
The hen ran back to the coop to hide. When Luo Shimiao saw her about to enter the coop full of chicken droppings, he frowned and shouted, "Luo Luo!" He ran over, grabbed her clothes, and lifted her up.
Luo Luo hovered in mid-air, smiling as she looked at her: "Auntie, let's catch them together."
"What are you grabbing? You're all filthy. If you like them so much, you can sleep with them tonight." Luo Shimiao looked at the handsome man with chicken feathers stuck in his hair: "Why don't you stop her?"
Gu Nian shrugged helplessly: "You know, I'm a little afraid of chickens."
"Then why weren't you afraid when you ate it?"
"There is a big difference between the dead and the living."
"And what about you two?" She turned her gaze to her brother and best friend.
Li Man's eyes flickered: "We saw she was having a lot of fun, so..."
