Since two months ago, he began to fall asleep from time to time, sleeping for a day or two. When he could not find out the cause of the disease himself, Yuan Huaixiu finally invited an imperial doctor to come back for him, and the imperial doctor diagnosed and treated him. After some deliberation, he concluded that he only had less than a year left.

Mrs. Yuan and Yuan Huaixiu were both shocked when they heard this. When Mr. Yuan once again mentioned that he wanted to go back to Simalin County, they reluctantly agreed to let him come back. Besides, after so many years, they didn't need to No matter how worried you are, if the old man finds Yun Xiu'e, something else will happen.

Accompanied by two guards, Mr. Yuan returned to Sima Lin County. The house he lived in before had been sold, and even the medical clinic he opened had become someone else's shop. He could only stay in the inn temporarily. After resting, he wanted to go out for a walk and see the county where he had lived all his life, but his health was so bad that he would feel sleepy from time to time, or even faint for no apparent reason.

He could only go out for a short walk every day, look at the familiar streets, and then return to the inn.

He really wanted to visit Yun Xiu'e's former parents' home, but after so many years, the guilt and regret weighed on his heart, making him pass by there several times, but he just didn't dare to go forward or knock on the door at any time. It is possible to open the door.

In a blink of an eye, on the Qingming Festival, Mr. Yuan went out to buy incense and ingot candles. Carrying a newly bought small hoe, he walked and rested alone to the location of the Yuan family's ancestral grave, and knelt on the ground.

"Father, mother, my son is back. How are you all these years? I am unfilial. I haven't come back to you for so many years."

Sweep the grave.Don't worry, I'll be going down to accompany you soon. Just wait. "The old man said while kneeling on the ground and burning paper money.

Behind a tree not far from the tomb, Qin Maixin stood there, looking at the old man in her impression.

A person's life is really like a dream.

In her previous life, Mr. Yuan only stayed with her for less than a year before passing away. It was only such a short time, but his departure made her feel uncomfortable for a long time. Until later, she would often think of this kind man. old man.

He was such a good person, why did he leave so early?

In her previous life, before she went to the capital, she had practiced medical skills with Mr. Mo for several years. She also took the pulse of Mr. Yuan and tried hard to cure him. However, she could not find the cause of Mr. Yuan's illness and could only watch him day by day. She became haggard and slept longer and longer day by day, until one day, no old man would hold her and call her, "My little wheat baby."

Qin Maixin didn't know what she could do for this old man. Now she just hoped that she could stay with him more in his last days, even if she didn't let him know that she was his granddaughter.

Qin Maixin took a deep breath and walked towards the old man. With a choked voice, he called to the old man, "Grandpa."

The old man heard the shouts behind him, turned around, and saw a little girl with an outstanding temperament. The little girl was biting her lips and looking at him with tearful eyes.

Seeing this, Mr. Yuan hurriedly got up from the ground, squatted in front of Qin Maixin, and said comfortingly

, "Little girl, what's wrong with you? Are you lost? Don't be afraid, tell grandpa where you live, and grandpa will take you to find your parents."

Qin Maixin shook his head, reached out and hugged tightly the rickety and thin body of the old man in front of him. The moment he hugged his body that was made of bones, the tears he had been holding back completely burst out, and he cried unbearably. Get up, "Grandpa."

"What's wrong? Don't cry, don't cry, grandpa is here." Seeing Qin Maixin crying so sadly, Mr. Yuan showed nervousness on his already wrinkled face, and he felt helpless and distressed in his heart. , could only pat Qin Maixin on the back and wipe the tears on Qin Maixin's face with his sleeves.

Qin Mai endured her tears for a long time, but she still didn't want to let go of the old man. With less than a year left, could she selfishly keep her grandfather by her side?

Her grandfather was not welcome in that home, just like she was not welcome.

She will never forget how Yuan Ruishuang's mother, Zhang Wan, treated Mr. Yuan, and she will never forget how her grandfather lived in Yuan Mansion and what he ate.

There were only two meals a day, and the only food she ate was boiled cabbage and tofu. Zhang Wan even said that the elderly should eat light food. Even the rice was not allowed to be eaten by her grandfather.

But even so, her grandfather would leave all the things he saved, even a little bit of cornbread and a mouthful of rice, to her and her brother.

There were too many memories and too much sadness that she had suppressed in her heart, all of which came up like a tide at the moment she saw Mr. Yuan.

"

Grandpa, I can't find my home. Can you take me back to your home? "Qin Maixin sniffed and looked at the elder Yuan pitifully.

Seeing such a poor child, Mr. Yuan's heart melted into a clear spring. He wiped the tears on Qin Maixin's face and said, "Child, don't be afraid, grandpa will help you. You wait for grandpa for a while. Grandpa will take care of you later." I will take you to where grandpa lives. Then I will help you find your parents. Don’t worry, you will definitely find them. Don’t cry, ah.”

"Okay." Qin Maixin wiped away the tears on his face and nodded.

The old man showed a kind smile and touched Qin Maixin's head, "Son, I will take you back after grandpa has finished sweeping the grave."

"Grandpa, let me help you. Sit there and rest for a while." Qin Maixin took the old man and found a clean place for him to sit down.

She squatted on the ground and started to light incense, paper money, and ingots. She picked up the hoe that the old man brought and removed the grass that had grown taller than her.

Seeing how capable Qin Maixin was, Mr. Yuan felt warm in his heart, but he couldn't sit down anymore. He got up and got busy with Qin Maixin.

The grandfather and grandson worked hard for more than an hour and finally cleaned the tomb thoroughly. The old man fumbled around in his handbag for a long time before he took out a copper plate and put it into Qin Maixin's hand with a kind smile. , "Child, come on, this is a reward given to you by grandpa. Thank you for helping grandpa. You must have worked hard."

Qin Mai looked at the copper plate in her hand, tears welling up in her eyes. She gritted her teeth and held it back. The old patriarch also liked to reward her like this, no matter what little things she did.

, he would give her a copper plate as a reward, and these copper plates were saved by the old man who was reluctant to give up food and clothing.
