Reborn in 60s. Grandpa

  Before he could even go down, Old Big Minghao had already brought over a bowl of water, and Hongmei and Hongying helped Water Lotus up to drink some water.

  Look at Shui Lian drinking water so hastily that she almost choked, Hong Ying hurriedly patted her back.

  "Lotus, slow down on drinking, no rush, there's still porridge in the pot, I'll get you some food later."

  After drinking a mouthful of water, Shui Lian finally let out a long sigh.

  "Hongying sister, don't bother, I'll go back now. If not, my mom will make a fuss again, it's better not to trouble you guys."

  Ming Hao looked at Shui Lian and excitedly told her, "Shui Lian, you don't know, yesterday the captain said that from now on you will be with Guardian Wang..."

  When Dong Shui Lian learned about the content of yesterday's meeting, her inner shock was even stronger than she had imagined.

  But still pretending to be unaware and asked "Are you saying that Wang Mei is not my real mother, and I was picked up?"

  The five siblings nodded their little heads together, "Yes, that's what the adults said. Guan Wang also said that when you're better, go to their house and from now on, you'll be Guan Wang's granddaughter, just call him Grandpa directly."

  Lotus sighed silently to herself, it seemed this matter was now out in the open.

  Hongying went downstairs and brought her a bowl of porridge, with a boiled egg in her hand.

  "Lotus seed porridge, mom prepared it for you this morning, let's eat together. Medicinal master said your body is damaged, need to nourish more."

  Shui Lian looked at the bright red eggs in her hand, swallowing saliva constantly. It had been years since she last ate an egg, seemingly since Wang Mei became pregnant, and it seemed like she was about to forget what eggs tasted like.

  My stomach is really hungry, hurry up and drink that bowl of corn porridge first, look at Hongmei peeling the egg for her to send it into her mouth.

  "Hurry up and shake your head "Red plum sister, let's divide this up and eat it separately, I've already eaten almost a bowl of porridge, if I eat eggs again, I'll be stuffed."

  Several of the children, including Minghao and Mingxuan, were only around ten years old at most. The other three were even younger. In those days, it was not easy for a family to afford eggs, and the Wang children were no exception.

  The siblings looked at each other and didn't seem to be lying, but everyone was quite hesitant.

  Shui Lian couldn't help but laugh at the sight of several children with their tangled little faces.

  "Minghao brother, let's each take a bite and taste it. When we have money in the future, we can eat eggs every day."

  In this way, the six little kids shared an egg. To be honest, Shui Lian really didn't even taste the egg before swallowing it, but at least her mouth smelled good.

  Minghao and his brother saw that the water lotus was fine, so they hurried out to chop firewood. The dinner for tonight still relied on their firewood to cook.

  Shui Lian lay on the kang bed digesting the information she had just received, which was that from now on she would be living with Guardian Wang's grandfather.

  The old man's heart was filled with gratitude and admiration for Shui Lian.

  It's not just because the old man was willing to spend money to raise her at this stage, but more importantly, during natural disasters, the old couple saw her pitiful state and every time she went up the mountain to chop firewood, they would give her some food.

  Otherwise, according to Wang Mei and Wu Lai Shui's couple's temperament, her little life would have been gone long ago.

  Don't look at Old Man Liang Shouwang's scarred face and lame leg, even when he smiles, it still scares people.

  But she herself didn't think there was anything to it, this appearance in her eyes wasn't scary at all. Some people, even if they don't have scars on their face, the things they do are much scarier than these knife scars.

  I think this old man is the most kind-hearted person in the village, others are afraid of him, but she's not, instead, she feels that this old man is her own family, it's a feeling from the bottom of her heart.

  In the afternoon, Hongmei and Hongying sisters had already started preparing dinner.

  Geng Lianfeng is a person who loves her children dearly. She just lets her two daughters wash and chop the vegetables at home, and when she gets back from work, they can be cooked directly in the pot. She doesn't mind letting her own children do things, otherwise what's the point of being a mother?

  Before Geng Lianfeng returned, Liang Shouwang came in carrying a rabbit.

  "Red plum, has the water lotus improved a bit?"

  The two sisters were busy boiling water at the stove, when they heard someone talking in the yard, both of them looked up to find it was Liang Shouwang. The younger girl still appeared timid, after all, the scars on the old man's face made her feel a bit uncomfortable.

  "Master Wang..."

  Liáng Shǒu Wàng also knew that his face was indeed not likable to children, but as long as the one lying on the kang liked him, he didn't have high requirements.

  Patting Hongmei's head, "Girl, this is the rabbit that Guard Lin caught for you guys. Tonight, let's make it a bit better for you all, and let Shuilian eat more meat, or else her injury won't heal easily."

  "Grandpa will help you skin the rabbit first."

  Liang Shouwang quickly hung the rabbit on a tree trunk in the yard, took out a knife and skillfully skinned the rabbit.

  Shui Lian and Ming Cheng opened the skylight and lay on the windowsill to look outside, the little guy's saliva was almost dripping out.

  "Sister Shui Lian, can we eat rabbit meat tonight?"

  Lotus looked at his lovely little appearance and touched the child's head, what can be done, the family is poor, they are almost unable to eat, where is there still extra money to consider meat.

  Not all mountain people know how to hunt rabbits, only Liang Shouwang's younger brother Liang Shoulin is a good hand.

  "Hmm, should be, Ming Cheng, isn't it that you want to watch Wang Ye peel a rabbit?"

  The little guy nodded slightly with some shyness, but there was still some hesitation on his face.

  "Big brother and second brother told me to take good care of sister, I have no choice but to listen to them."

  Shui Lian smiled and patted his hand, "Ming Cheng, why don't you go take a look for your sister? She wants to see it now, but she's in too much pain to move. You can tell her about it afterwards, okay?"

  Watching the little guy quickly get off the kang, Shui Lian leaned on the pile of quilts with a warm expression, gazing at the old man peeling carrots in the distance.

  It was all because of the old man's kindness that she escaped Wang Mei's clutches. She really had no ability to repay this old man now, but at this moment, she secretly vowed in her heart that no matter what happened in the future, just for the old man's usual behavior and what he did today, she would definitely take care of him until he was old.

  Liang Shouwang saw Mingcheng running over and glanced back at Shuilian.

  "Girl, how are you feeling? Where's uncomfortable, tell Grandpa and I'll go find the old doctor to take another look at you."

  "Grandpa, I'm much better now. After dinner, I'll go home with you and from then on, your home will be my home too, and you'll be my real grandpa."

  Under the sun, the old man was sweating all over his head, grinning from ear to ear with a wide open mouth that seemed hard to close.

  "Hmm, from now on you're also Grandpa's dear granddaughter..."
