Ye Siming brought Gu Nuo’er to look for Jiang Xiaoran and the others.
At this moment, the villagers and their children had already surrounded Jiang Xiaoran and Xie Yinxiang in the middle.
They were laughing and playing around, “Older brother, older sister, give me a book too!”
Jiang Xiaoran shouted at the top of his voice, “Everyone will get one. Don’t push!”
The boy, Qi Jingsheng, who had received their help just now, was holding the book he had just been given.
An old woman who was holding his hand smiled and said something.
Gu Nuo’er blinked and saw her. “Elder Brother Siming, look, isn’t that old granny the one we met at Double Third Festival?” Ye Siming looked up.
Gu Nuo’er pulled Ye Siming to the two of them.
“Little brother, so you’re this old granny’s relative?” Gu Nuo’er said in a soft voice.
When Qi Jingsheng heard the voice, he quickly turned his head based on his intuition and smiled innocently at Gu Nuo’er. “Older sister, this is my grandmother!”
He grabbed the old woman’s hand at the side. “Grandmother, this older sister and older brother are the great benefactors who saved me that I told you about just now. They even sent me home.”
When the old woman heard Gu Nuo’er’s voice, her expression turned solemn and she was stunned for a moment.
However, she quickly suppressed her emotions and forced a smile. “Thank you, young miss. Thank you, young master.”
Ye Siming seemed to have noticed the change in the old woman’s expression and looked at her indifferently.
Qi Jingsheng warmly invited them to his house to have a seat and drink some water.
Gu Nuo’er couldn’t bear to reject his good intentions, so she pulled Ye Siming along and followed him to his house.
In the small fenced courtyard, the house was a little old.
The brick wall that had been in disrepair for a long time looked a little shaky. However, although the furnishings inside were simple, there was warmth everywhere.
Perhaps it was because the old woman and Qi Jingsheng couldn’t see.
Therefore, traces of carvings with a small knife could be seen everywhere on the mud wall in the room.
Ye Siming walked over with his hands behind his back. After looking at it for a moment, understanding flashed across his cold eyes.
He asked Qi Jingsheng, “Do you guys use the marks on the walls to discern the direction in the room?”
The old woman nodded and replied, “That’s right, young master. When we touch a longer mark, we’ll know that the bedroom is in front. The shorter one is in the direction of the stove. When Jingsheng was still young, he kept falling wherever he went because he couldn’t see.”
Qi Jingsheng smiled. “I’ve grown up now and am already familiar with the house. I don’t have to touch the wall to find places!”
After saying that, he wiped the already clean wooden stool with his sleeve. “Older sister, benefactor older brother, take a seat.’
Gu Nuo’er lifted her skirt and sat down. Her heart ached for this grandmother and grandchild.
Ye Siming walked to her side and lowered his head to remind the child in her ear, “I’ll go out and ask about the situation. If anything happens, just shout loudly. I’ll be outside and won’t go far.”
Gu Nuo’er nodded obediently and waved her small hand. “Go on, go on!”
After Ye Siming went out, the old woman brought Gu Nuo’er a cup of tea. Gu Nuo’er reached out her fair hands and took it. “Thank you, grandma.” The old woman was stunned. She lowered her face and nodded guiltily.
The child asked again, “Is it just the two of you living together now?”
Qi Jingsheng brought over a plate of sweet pancakes that had just been heated up. “That’s right. My mother passed away after giving birth to me. My father also died of illness not long later. Older sister, try these sweet pancakes. My grandmother made them. They’re especially delicious! You can’t buy them outside!”
Gu Nuo’er looked down.
She actually felt that the sweet pancakes on this plate looked a little like the ones in the palace..
