Zhao Xiangyun took the old lady's belongings and said, "Thank you!"
"What are you thanking me for? If it weren't for you, my old man and I would have already starved to death!" Aunt Luo said.
"Girl, you should hurry back while there's still no one around!" If you still have food for exchange, in the future … "In the future, come find me at my house!" Aunt Luo said.
"Alright!"
Zhao Xiangyun did not dare to stay for long, she observed her surroundings and left after no one paid attention to him.
Since she was rushing here to do business, Zhao Xiangyun naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity. She also made a deal, this time with a man in overalls.
In exchange for some money and food stamps.
Zhao Xiangyun kept the items that she exchanged with before putting them into her pocket.
With the cover of the bag, he placed the items into the space.
After completing the second deal, it was almost noon time to eat, and Zhao Xiangyun was hungry too.
After thinking about it, she decided to go to State-run Hotel for a meal and see if she could gather some information or something along the way.
Before she even entered the State-run Hotel, Zhao Xiangyun was stopped by someone at the door.
"Elder sister …"
Zhao Xiangyun turned to look at the person who called him. It was a child.
She suddenly remembered, this child had previously watched her eating at State-run Hotel entrance, and then was chased out by the waiters at the restaurant. Unable to bear it, she chased after him and gave him her lunchbox as well, then took out two hot eggs from her space.
"You are... Longevity? Lu Changsheng! " Zhao Xiangyun remembered that it was this name.
Lu Changsheng nodded heavily and said to Zhao Xiangyun: "Elder sister, I've been waiting here for you for the past few days. You've finally made me wait for you!" Lu Changsheng said.
"You … Are you hungry? Why don't you come in and eat with me first? "
Zhao Xiangyun also didn't know what to say, but when she saw this child, she felt uncomfortable.
This child was too thin.
She didn't even have a pair of shoes on her feet. Even if it was only a pair of straw sandals, she would still feel slightly better.
"No …" Lu Changsheng shook his head. Although he was very hungry, very hungry, he couldn't take advantage of Zhao Xiangyun.
"Elder sister, you've already helped me! "I wanted to return your lunchbox, but I didn't bring it when I left. Wait for me here for a while, I'll go back and get the lunchbox for you!"
After Lu Changsheng finished speaking, he started to flee.
Zhao Xiangyun held him back, "Changsheng, last time you said that your grandmother was sick, and that she … Are you better? "
Lu Changsheng shook his head, "I don't have any grains to eat at home, but my grandmother does."
As he spoke, his eyes turned red.
"Where are your parents?" Zhao Xiangyun asked.
Longevity shook his head. "I don't know!"
From the moment Longevity was born, he had never seen his parents.
His grandmother said his parents were dead.
Thus, all these years, he had been relying on his grandmother to survive.
"Take me to see your grandmother!" Zhao Xiangyun said.
There were some things that she didn't want to interfere in, but she really couldn't let go of Longevity.
If his grandmother died, how miserable would it be to leave only Changsheng?
Zhao Xiangyun followed her longevity, and after a series of detours, they entered a small alley.
The end of the alley was Longevity's home.
Compared to the loft in Aunt Luo, this family was not much better off.
He looked on the verge of collapse.
When Zhao Xiangyun pushed open the door, she had to be even more careful.
Entering Grandma Lu Changsheng's room, Zhao Xiangyun saw the dying Grandma Lu lying on the bed.
"Grandma, I brought your elder sister who gave you the porridge to eat! Didn't you always say that you want to see what a kind-hearted person looks like? Grandma, wake up … "
Lu Changsheng pushed his grandmother. The person on the bed wanted to move, but didn't have the slightest bit of strength.
Her complexion was extremely pale. It was obvious that she had been malnourished for a long time and had not eaten a full meal.
"Changsheng, where is your kitchen?" Zhao Xiangyun asked.
"The kitchen? There is no kitchen at home! " Changsheng somewhat embarrassedly lowered his head.
"Then where do you usually cook?" she asked again.
"My room!"
In the Lu family's house, there were only two rooms in total. One room was a bit larger, but it still had longevity.
Therefore, all kinds of pots and pans were kept in his room.
The other room was the Grandma Lu's room. Other than a bed and a broken leather case, there was not even a bench for sitting on it.
These days, he was indeed a bit too poor.
After following Changsheng to his room, Zhao Xiangyun saw a metal stove piled at the corner of the wall, and some firewood.
Suddenly, she caught sight of some fresh roots on the ground, as if they had just been dug up.
Zhao Xiangyun's heart skipped a beat as she looked at Lu Changsheng.
"Changsheng, what do you usually eat?" Zhao Xiangyun asked.
Longevity pointed to the roots of the trees and said, "There's also coarse grain. Sometimes, I would even go out on the streets to beg for some …"
Hearing that, Zhao Xiangyun's breath tightened, and she didn't even know what to say anymore.
Eat Root... How poor must he be in these days, eating coarse food?
Suppressing the pain in her heart, Zhao Xiangyun said to Lu Changsheng: "Changsheng, big sister wants to borrow your kitchen now, can you take care of your grandmother outside?"
Zhao Xiangyun wanted to boil some porridge for the old lady to drink.
However, the items in the basket had already been sold out.
If Zhao Xiangyun wanted to take it, she had to take it from the dimensional space, but she absolutely could not do so in front of Changsheng.
"Alright!"
Lu Changsheng left, and for a moment, only Zhao Xiangyun was left in the house.
She brought out some rice from the space and found an earthenware pot in Longevity's room. She placed the rice bit by bit into the earthenware pot.
Following that, she grabbed two more grains and washed them. Then, she started to heat up the wok and started to stew the porridge in the wok.
After doing all this, Zhao Xiangyun took out three more corn bread and three more hot boiled eggs.
Fortunately, the weather was hot now, and the egg would become hot when held in the palm of your hand for a while.
If he didn't figure it out carefully, he wouldn't know if it was because of the heat or the high temperature.
Taking the eggs and corn cake, Zhao Xiangyun gave one of them to Lu Changsheng, "Eat! You definitely haven't had breakfast either! "
Lu Changsheng looked at Zhao Xiangyun, his eyes glistening with tears. But he did not receive the egg and biscuit that Zhao Xiangyun had given his.
"I left one for your grandma as well. You have to eat your fill first so that you can have the strength to take care of your grandma, right?" Zhao Xiangyun asked.
Only then did Lu Changsheng take the eggs and pancakes, hid in a corner and began to eat his' lunch '!
Zhao Xiangyun placed the eggs and corn cake she gave Grandma Lu to the side, then squatted down and started to eat as well.
An egg and a piece of corn cake were naturally enough for her to not be full, but for Zhao Xiangyun who was at the stage of weight loss, it was already enough.
When Zhao Xiangyun finished eating, she was still eating.
Seeing that Zhao Xiangyun had finished eating, he also stopped eating, and rushed up to Zhao Xiangyun and asked: "Big sister, my granny, she …"
"She should be fine. Once the porridge in the pot is done, feed her a bowl. She should be fine!"
