Chapter 385 Back home

There was no cure for Grandpa Qiu. He had a severe cough and suffered from heart and lung strain. The doctor said he would die today or tomorrow.

Jinhua cried so hard that she couldn't speak. When the medicine was brought back, she boiled it herself and fed it to Grandpa Qiu. She also gave him some meat buns to eat.

Unfortunately, Grandpa Qiu passed away before it got dark.

He held on with all his might, waiting for Jinhua to come back.

Seeing that although she didn't steal the purse, she had met such a kind-hearted girl and that she would have someone to rely on in the future by following her, he felt relieved and died with his eyes closed.

As for the other old beggars, they even had difficulty swallowing their medicine, so there was nothing they could do.

However, there were a few children who were able to eat after Zuo Cheng fed them medicine and bought some porridge for them.

Shi Liu was unable to take care of these old beggars, so after helping Jin Hua bury Grandpa Qiu, she asked the children if they were willing to go with her.

The little beggars didn't expect that even though they were so sick, there was still a noble man willing to take them away. They were extremely excited.

No matter if you have to work like a slave, who would want to wait to die here if they can survive? It couldn't be better.

So Shi Liu asked Zuo Cheng to buy another car and take Jin Hua and the little beggars with him.

Because several children needed to take medicine, we couldn't drive fast on the road. We stopped every time we came across a town. We rested along the way, and by the time we returned to Xiahe Village, it was already May.

At least he could still make it in time for Old Man Li’s 60th birthday, Shi Liu was thinking about it.

When the group arrived at the entrance of Xiahe Village, Shi Liu ordered Zuo Cheng to take two guards with him to send the children to Luoshui City.

Long before she set out for the south, she had someone set up an orphanage in Luoshui City. These children were all young, so it was just right to send them to the orphanage. They had been taking medicine and recuperating along the way, and their illnesses had all been cured. Then, in the orphanage, they would have enough food and drink every day, and would not have to worry about not being able to keep up their health.

As for Ma Chun and others, they will also go to the house in Luoshui City to settle down first. She will make arrangements for them in two days.

There is no room for everyone to live in the village.

As Shi Liu was thinking about this, an idea flashed through his mind: it was time to expand the house.

After watching Zuo Cheng and the others walk away, the carriage went up the stone bridge and headed towards the village.

Jinhua looked around curiously, "Miss, don't I have to go with Huzi and the others?"

Shi Liu replied, "No need, just follow me from now on."

An eleven-year-old girl no longer goes to the Salesian Home.

Jinhua listened and relaxed her body. She wanted to follow the girl.

"Miss, can you please change my name?" She heard from Sister Fudong that they all changed their names when they came to the girl.

Pomegranate shook her head, "No, Golden Flower sounds good."

Fudong glanced at Jinhua and a smile flashed across his eyes. This girl is so lucky.

The workshop by the Qing River was busy as usual. Li Rongfa, who was guarding the warehouse, saw a line of carriages coming in and shouted in surprise, "Pomegranates are back!"

His shouting was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples. Those who were busy in the workshop were unable to let go, but those who were off work all stuck their heads out, and when they saw Hu Zhen driving the cart, they were sure that it was really Shi Liu who had returned, so they all smiled and greeted him.

"Pomegranate is back!"

"Shi Liu, you're finally back. You've been away for two months! Your grandfather was still hanging around the village entrance yesterday, looking for you!"

"Glad to be back. Is your journey okay, Shi Liu?" "."

Shi Liu had already opened the curtain of the carriage and responded to the villagers' greetings with a smile.

I was enthusiastically escorted back to the east end of the village. Old Man Li, who had heard the news earlier, ran very fast on his crutches and met me at the corner of the workshop, "Pomegranate!"

"Grandpa, please run slower or you might fall!" Shi Liu quickly jumped off the carriage and stepped forward to support Old Man Li.

When Father Li saw her, he looked her up and down and said, "You're fine, you haven't lost weight. Didn't you say you'd be back in a month at most? It's already been two months! Your grandma is worried about you!"

"Grandma is the only one who worries about me?" Pomegranate curled her lips.

"Well, there's your father too. Your father is worried about you!" Old Man Li blew his beard. In short, he just refused to admit that he was worried too.

Shi Liu refused to listen to him. "My aunt just told me that you go to the village entrance every day to see if I'm back!"

Father Li was suddenly embarrassed and cleared his throat twice, "Go home quickly, your grandma heard you were back and went to the kitchen to make you some sweet soup, it's time to serve it out!"

Shi Liu helped him walk toward the door, saying, "I didn't forget your birthday, Grandpa. I came back just in time!"

Father Li's eyes were full of smiles, but he said, "It's okay if I can't make it back in time. Your business is more important. By the way, have you finished everything you wanted to do on this trip?"

"Everything is done, Grandpa. Is everything okay at home?"

"Very well! We eat and drink well every day, and your grandmother and I are in great health. Your father went to the city today. I didn't know you would come back today, otherwise he wouldn't have gone. The weather is getting hotter, and it's getting hot in the city. Your sister-in-law is also getting pregnant, so your father went to the city to bring your mother and sister-in-law back to live with you. It's still cooler in the village."

"The village is fine, but it's cooler up here. After your birthday, let's go to the farm to escape the heat like we did last year!"

"Okay, I'll do as you say!" Father Li was filled with warmth in his heart. "By the way, Rongsheng went to the city to take the provincial examination last month and passed it. Now it's time for a proper examination for a Tongsheng!"

"That's great. I guess clan leader grandpa is very happy?" There had been such a lively event before, and if he failed the provincial examination, there would still be something to talk about. At first, the clan leader grandpa was so busy having fun that he certainly didn't think much about it.

Now, I’m no longer afraid of what others say.

"That's right! Your clan leader grandpa is so happy that he said that when you come back, the three families will have a good meal together!"

Eating again?
The corners of Pomegranate's mouth twitched.

The clan leader was really excited.

As they were talking, they also entered the house. When Shi Liu saw Old Yuan busy in the kitchen, he took off his shoes and went into the pavilion. He went to the kitchen window and smiled at Old Yuan, "Grandma, I haven't seen you for two months. You look younger!"

Old Mrs. Yuan was also very happy to see her granddaughter, but she also found these words funny, "Is grandma a demon? How can she get younger and younger as she gets older?"

"You are really young! If you don't believe me, ask grandpa!"

Father Li, who was the first to meet his granddaughter but was not praised by her for looking younger, was unhappy. "Where? Why didn't I notice it?"

Old Yuan snorted when she heard this, and brought out the cooked sugar-water eggs and placed them on the table, asking Shi Liu to sit over and eat. Then she said, "I don't know if I'm young or not, but your grandfather is young, he's become a child!"

"Grandma, what do you mean?" Pomegranate asked curiously.

Old Yuan said, "Every day when you meet people in the village, you tell them to come early on the 20th to have a birthday party and watch opera. You keep saying it over and over again. You even took a car to your eldest aunt's and your second aunt's homes to invite them. You show off everywhere. Isn't this what children do?"

Shi Liu burst out laughing, "Don't people always say, you are just an old kid, just an old kid."

Father Li: “.” I am old, but not deaf.
