Hearing his son-in-law ask how his little daughter died? Shi Jiahong was silent. He took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes. Yu Xiumin looked sad, her tears flowed like broken pearls, and the air suddenly became heavy.

When Xiao Chen saw her grandma crying, she hurriedly stretched out her little hand to wipe her tears:

"Grandma doesn't cry."

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked."

Lin Zixu didn't expect that he would make his mother-in-law cry with just one sentence, and he regretted asking this sad question.

Shi Jiahong put on his glasses again and sighed:

"I don't blame you. Xiaoyan's death is an eternal heartache for your mother and I. I can't forgive myself..."

That year, someone came to report that your grandfather was a big capitalist and that he would come to arrest us the next day and bring us to trial. We were so scared that we ran away all night. I hugged Xiaoyan before she was even one month old because she was too scared and nervous.

I... just hugged her very tightly, and my daughter... just... went away! Your mother and I are very, very sad,

We held her and cried loudly, but no matter how hard we cried, our daughter couldn't come back..."

Shi Jiahong couldn't talk anymore, he burst into tears and burst into tears. This regret and self-blame had tortured him for more than ten years. Even now, talking about it is still heartbreaking and unbearable.

Lin Zixu comforted his father-in-law: "Dad, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked, you didn't mean it, and my little sister won't blame you."

Shi Jiahong put his hand on his forehead, closed his eyes and cried silently, waving to Lin Zixu:

"For more than ten years, I have often dreamed about her. I dreamed that she grew up but refused to pay attention to me. She looked at me from a distance, with blame and condemnation in her eyes. She was blaming me...

Blame me!"

Lin Zixu held his father-in-law's body, he was shaking, and he was overwhelmed by self-blame. Lin Zixu didn't know how to comfort the old man, so he could only stay with them quietly.

Shi Jiahong said sadly:

"I must have done something wrong in my last life, otherwise God would have snatched away my youngest daughter and taken away my eldest daughter..."

Lin Zixu's eyes were also wet. Through his tearful eyes, he seemed to see Lingyu wearing a white dress and smiling at him?

New Year's Eve

During the day, Zuo Jingyan asked the nurse to take care of her grandfather. She went home and cooked six dishes, including chicken, fish, steamed pork with rice noodles and her grandfather's favorite knife banxiang. She also cooked two vegetarian dishes. In addition to the vegetables, she also made dumplings.

The dumplings are filled with celery and meat, and a penny coin is put inside.

A pack of sugar, a pack of peanuts, a pack of melon seeds, and a bottle of Laojiao wine will make the New Year look like a Chinese New Year. Even though he is in the hospital, he still wants to make grandpa feel the happiness of the New Year.

Six dishes were packed into six lunch boxes, and dumplings were packed into a separate lunch box. Zuo Jingyan also packed soy sauce and vinegar in a bamboo tube. She put all the food into her backpack and walked out of the house only carrying the bamboo tube filled with soy sauce and vinegar.

When she locked the door, someone whistled behind her:

"Little sister, what delicious food have you made? It tastes so good! You are so virtuous, marry me, and I will make you eat delicious food and drink spicy food."

Zuo Jingyan turned back with a cold face and cursed angrily:

"If you don't want to go to the Public Security Bureau during the Chinese New Year, just get out of here."

The third child's face darkened: "You girl, you really don't know what's good and what's good. I've given you shame. How dare you scold me?"

Zuo Jingyan left in a hurry, but he still blocked her way and refused to give way. She couldn't help her temper and wanted to give him a blow to cut off her descendants. Du Rongchang came over and called to the third child:

"Third brother, what are you doing? Don't bully the little girl."

The third child chuckled: "Am I not teasing her? She doesn't know how to tease her either!"

Zuo Jingyan's face turned dark: "Am I familiar with you?"

The third child's expression changed and he moved closer to Zuo Jingyan. Du Rongchang stopped him:

"Third brother, do you want to spend New Year's Eve in jail? Let your mother worry less."

The third child raised his hand and stepped back with a playful smile: "I was just joking with her. Men don't hit women."

Du Rongchang frowned and chased him away: "Go home quickly."

The third child nodded, looked at Zuo Jingyan and grinned, then turned and left.

Zuo Jingyan looked at his back and frowned, feeling that this man would not let it go, and there was an evil light in his eyes before he left.

The location of Grandpa's house in the village is a bit remote. The closest one is Grandpa Du's house, and the other houses are far away. The third child is obviously thinking something wrong.

Zhao Xiaobao is not here, so Zuo Jingyan can only think of a way on her own, not afraid of thieves stealing, but also afraid of being missed by thieves.

The third child should be sent to prison, but Grandpa Renyi insisted on tearing up the IOU. Without the IOU, there would be no evidence to sue the third child.

Sometimes it's not good for people to be too kind. The third child has been honest for a few days but now she has bad intentions. She has to make some preparations to protect herself!

Du Rongchang smiled when he saw the lunch box in Zuo Jingyan's hand:

"Are you going to deliver food to Lao Zuo?"

Zuo Jingyan nodded: "Yes, Grandpa Du has a great New Year."

Du Rongchang sighed: "Fortunately you are here, otherwise how would Lao Zuo have spent this new year?"

Zuo Jingyan smiled: "I'm leaving first, grandpa is still waiting for me in the hospital!"

After saying goodbye to Du Rongchang, Zuo Jingyan hurried to the hospital. In order to let her grandfather eat hot meals, she squeezed onto the bus.

It was afternoon, and people were busy with New Year's Eve dinner at home. There were not many people on the bus, so the conductor kindly helped Zuo Jingyan take off her backpack.

"Thank you and happy New Year."

Zuo Jingyan smiled and thanked her, said Happy New Year, and took a few pieces of White Rabbit toffee from her backpack to the conductor:

"May your life be sweeter than sugar."

The conductor was happy: "Thank you. Happy New Year. I wish you fish every year."

This is how people are. If you show kindness to others, they will treat you well. If you say a nice word, everyone will be happy.

Zuo Jingyan sat down on her seat with a smile on her face, took out a piece of White Rabbit candy from her backpack and put it in her mouth. She found her grandpa. The candy was extremely sweet.

She rushed to the hospital, and the nurse looked very anxious. When Zuo Jingyan came back, she said embarrassedly:

"My family is looking for me to go back to have New Year's Eve dinner. I won't come tonight, and my salary will be deducted for one day."

"It's okay, bring two pieces of candy back to the child."

Zuo Jingyan grabbed a handful of candies and gave them to the caregiver. Everyone wanted to reunite as a family during the Chinese New Year.

"Thanks."

The nurse thanked her and left. Zuo Jingyan took out the lunch boxes and opened them. The aroma of the food filled the ward. Patients and their families in other beds were also eating, but they only had one dish and two dishes. There was no sense of ceremony like hers.

Six dishes were placed on the small table, along with a large lunch box of dumplings. The dumplings were chubby and looked delicious!

"Grandpa, try the squirrel carp. I learned it from the noodle shop owner when I went to Wuzhen to find you."

Zuo Jingyan gave her grandfather a piece of squirrel carp. She learned the essence of this dish. It was golden in color, crispy on the outside, sweet and sour in the juice, and it was tempting to look at.

Zuo Yuzhu smiled happily when he saw the squirrel and the carp:

"I have been working as a boatman in Wuzhen for a long time, and I have never eaten squirrel and carp, but I have seen it, and it is the same as yours."

Zuo Jingyan felt sad when she heard this: "Grandpa, if you like it, I will cook it for you in the future."

Zuo Jingyan distributed a few dumplings and a piece of fish to all the patients in the ward, and said with a smile:
Chapter completed!
