Chapter 742: Delivering Food to Old Lady Guo
After Liu Jianjun left, a few minutes later, it was Liu Jingxue's turn.
She first called her eldest brother's army and did not ask them to ask Liu Jianguo to come and answer the phone. She only asked them to tell him that she and her second brother had returned to the Northeast, and asked them to set a time to come and send a letter.
After hanging up the phone, Liu Jingxue called Mr. Zhang's office again.
I didn't talk to him much, I just told him that I arrived home safely and asked him to check the package.
I have already said everything I wanted to say in the letter. There are so many people here now that it is not convenient to talk on the phone.
After hanging up the phone and paying for two calls, Liu Jingxue rode her bicycle to Mrs. Guo’s house.
A spiritual scan revealed that Old Lady Guo was still cleaning the area she was responsible for.
He found a secluded place, put the bicycle into the space, and then entered the space himself.
After preparing food for Old Lady Guo, Liu Jingxue found Old Lady Guo carrying the food in a backpack.
Old Mrs. Guo was very surprised to see Liu Jingxue appear in front of her.
"Xiaoxue, why are you here?
You haven’t been here for a while.”
Liu Jingxue apologized, "Grandma Guo, I'm so sorry.
Before the autumn harvest, I received a call from home saying that my second brother, who was a soldier, was injured while on duty. I went to his unit to take care of him and just came back yesterday.
Because I left in a hurry, I forgot to bring you some food.
Have you run out of food?"
When Mrs. Guo heard this, she asked anxiously, "Is your second brother okay?"
"It's okay, he's been rescued and is back home recovering."
"It's good that everything is okay, it's good that everything is okay," Old Mrs. Guo kept repeating.
She sighed, "These soldiers live on the edge of a knife, with their heads hanging on their belts all day long.
If it weren't for them, we wouldn't have such a peaceful life.
I really hope they will have fewer injuries.”
“Don’t worry, Grandma Guo, they will.
You haven't told me yet, are you out of food?
It’s all my fault for not arranging it properly.”
Old Lady Guo quickly comforted him, "Silly child, don't think too much, I'm not out of food.
I am old and have a small appetite, so I can't eat too much in one meal.
You send so much food here every time, and the streets won't let me starve to death, so I get some food rations every month.
The neighbors are taking care of me now and occasionally give me some vegetables. How could I possibly go without food?
There is enough food at home to last me a few days."
Liu Jingxue was a little bit unconvinced, so she scanned Old Lady Guo's house with her spiritual sense. Only after she found that there was indeed some food in the house did she feel relieved.
“Grandma Guo, I’m here to bring you food today.
I came here with someone else, and he is waiting for me at the supply and marketing cooperative. I have to go find him quickly. "
When Mrs. Guo heard this, she hurried to unlock the key on her body.
“I haven’t finished sweeping here yet, so I can’t leave, lest someone from the street office comes over and sees me not here.
I'll give you the key, you can go home and put the food away.
Come over and give me the key later."
Liu Jingxue teased her deliberately, "Grandma Guo, aren't you afraid that I might break into your house and steal something while you're away?"
“What valuable things can I have in my house?
If you like something, just take it. How can you say it's stealing? It's clearly a gift from me.
With all the food you've sent me over the past year, it doesn't matter if you empty my house."
Liu Jingxue just smiled when she heard this and didn't take it seriously.
Although this old lady looks a little down and out now, as long as she can get through these few years, she will be a wealthy old lady again.
Not to mention her little daughter who seemed to be in a military research institute, the things hidden under her house were not worth much now, but in a few years, they would be valuable.
This was discovered by Liu Jingxue when she came to deliver food and accidentally scanned it with her spiritual sense.
Following the downward passage, I found the entrance in the old lady's room.
After discovering those things, she also knew the origin of the things that the old lady had given her.
As expected, his family used to run a restaurant. I guess his ancestors had some assets and were able to save those good things.
Liu Jingxue took the key and said to Mrs. Guo, "Grandma Guo, I'll go put away the food first.
I brought you some meat, wild boar meat and wild sheep meat, which were distributed by the village hunting team when they went into the mountains.
You need to stew the wild boar meat for a while longer, or you may not be able to chew it."
"Hey, it's such a good thing, why don't you keep it for yourself, why did you send it to me?
I am already half buried in the ground, why should I eat these good things? I won’t waste them.” Old Mrs. Guo said excitedly.
“Look at what you said, you are the mother of a hero, how can you not deserve to eat good food?
You must eat and drink well to ensure good health, waiting for your little daughter to come back to find you."
Hearing this, Old Lady Guo couldn't help but feel a little dazed, "My Fang'er, I haven't heard from her for several years. Is she still alive?"
Liu Jingxue had used the old lady's blood to check for her before, and found that the old lady still had living relatives.
So she said without hesitation, "Grandma Guo, don't worry, your Fang'er must be alive and well.
It may be due to some special circumstances that I am unable to contact you.
Please wait a little longer, maybe she will come back to you soon.
You said before that she has already married, and maybe she will bring her son-in-law, grandson, and granddaughter to visit you."
When Mrs. Guo heard Liu Jingxue talking about her grandchildren, she became very excited.
"Fang Er wrote to me before, saying that she was pregnant again. This time it was very quiet, different from the last time. Maybe it would be a girl this time.
Later she wrote to me again and said that she had given birth to a daughter as she wished, and she would come back to see me when the child was a little older.
But we lost contact later, and I don’t know how they are doing now.”
"Please be patient and wait. Maybe we will get news soon," Liu Jingxue said comfortingly.
"Yes, I have to wait for them, they are the only descendants of Old Guo.
If I hadn't waited for them and had gone down to see that damn old man, I wouldn't know what to say to him.
If he asks me what our grandchildren look like, I have never seen them, so I don’t know how to answer.”
Seeing Liu Jingxue holding the key and still standing there, Mrs. Guo waved her hand.
"Why are you still standing there, kid? Isn't there someone waiting for you?
Hurry and put the things down, meet up with that person, don't keep him waiting."
Liu Jingxue laughed, "You old lady, you don't know how to appreciate kindness.
I am not worried about you, I just want to comfort you."
"I'm fine, you don't need to worry.
Go quickly. "
Seeing that Old Lady Guo was indeed in good condition, Liu Jingxue did not stay any longer. She went back to Old Lady Guo's house to put down her things, put some spiritual spring water into the water tank, placed a good luck charm in the yard, and then left.
After returning to Mrs. Guo's place, Liu Jingxue returned the key and slapped a health talisman on her while she wasn't paying attention. Then she said goodbye to her and rushed to the supply and marketing cooperative.
