After the stove was finished, she went to wash the pot and prepare some porridge.

She just checked the old man's pulse and found that there was nothing wrong with his body. He just had insufficient blood and gas. He probably didn't eat and his blood sugar was low, so he collapsed on the roadside.

I opened the rice jar and found that it was empty. I rummaged around and found that there was nothing to eat.

Why are you so poor? You can't even afford rice.

Xirou couldn't bear the old man's hunger, so she took out half a bag of rice from the space and poured it directly into the rice vat.

I also brought out a lot of dried seafood, such as shrimps, scallops, etc. These can be used to make seafood porridge, which is very nutritious.

She also took out two pieces of bacon, but she didn't dare to take more for fear that the old man would be suspicious. After all, her vegetable basket had limited contents.

The rice is washed, added with Lingquan water, dried shrimps, scallops, etc., and cooked on the stove.

Then he returned to the hall.

The old man drank another glass of spiritual spring water and felt much better. When he saw Xirou coming in, he said, "Xirou, I'm fine. You should go home quickly. My family will be worried later."

"Uncle, it's okay. I'm not in a hurry. I just went to the kitchen and cooked some seafood porridge for you. When the porridge is ready, you can finish it and then I'll leave. We can chat for a while." Xirou said.

There was an expression of disbelief on the old man's face. There was nothing at home. This child cooked porridge for him. Could it be that he was cooking something he bought for me?

"Xirou, don't be busy. It's not easy for everyone to take the things you bought back. We are not relatives, so I can't take your things." The uncle looked anxious.

"Uncle, don't worry, this little thing is nothing. Your body needs energy now, and you can't do it without eating. Don't be polite to me, I do this for my own reasons." Xi Rou said with a smile. .

"Oh? What do you want me to do for you?" The old man felt that he had nothing to lose and was so poor that he couldn't even eat. What else could this girl get from him?

"I like the cloth you dyed, and I really want to see what color you dye it with silk. I happen to have white silk, and I don't know what to do with it. If you are willing, I can ask you to help me dye it. Really?" Xi Rou smiled.

After hearing this, the old man held Xirou's hand excitedly: "Are you really willing to dye silk for me?"

Xirou nodded heavily.

"Haha, great, great, I can finally use the dye I made to dye satin. I never dream of knowing what color they will turn out."

The old man laughed happily like a child.

"Then let's look forward to the results together. You've been resting for the past two days. I'll come to you in two days with the silk and satin, and let's dye it together, okay." Xi Rou said with a smile.

"Okay, the weather will clear up in two days, and it will be perfect for dyeing." The old man rubbed his hands happily, "Xi Rou, my name is Wei Guoqiang. From now on, you can just call me Grandpa Wei."

"Okay, Grandpa Wei. What are the details of dyeing this cloth? What processes are required?" Xirou asked curiously.

Wei Guoqiang was very happy to see Xi Rou interested in his professional matters and started talking nonstop.

Half an hour later, Xirou smelled the smell coming from the kitchen and said, "Grandpa Wei, wait for me. I'll go check out the porridge. We'll talk when we get back."

Xirou ran back and saw that the porridge was already boiling. She opened the lid of the pot, stirred it for a while, then half-covered it, and ran back to continue listening to Wei Guoqiang.

Wei Guoqiang talked about the history of dyeing cloth and the craftsmanship of dyeing cloth. He talked endlessly and his whole body was in high spirits. It was completely impossible to tell that he was just an old man in need of help.

After talking for another half hour, Xi Rou estimated that the porridge was ready, so she went to the kitchen to serve it.

A big bowl of cotton silk seafood porridge, added with salt and peanut oil, smells very appetizing. The porridge was left outside for a few minutes and was no longer so hot. Xirou brought it back to the room and placed it in front of Wei Guoqiang.

"Grandpa Wei, try the porridge I cooked. I put some rice, shrimps, scallops, dried squid, etc. in the rice vat. You can make porridge and eat it. It's nutritious and healthy." Xirou looked at Wei Guoqiang with a smile.

Wei Guoqiang was really hungry, and he couldn't care less about being polite, so he ate big mouthfuls.

"Well, it's delicious. It's really delicious." Wei Guoqiang praised while eating.

Xirou looked on with a smile: "Grandpa Wei, eat slowly, there is still more in the pot, enough for you to have another dinner."

Wei Guoqiang was a little embarrassed, raised his head and said, "I made you laugh. Oh, I didn't expect that I, Wei Guoqiang, am old and can't afford to eat. Girl Xirou, grandpa thanks you."

"Grandpa Wei, don't be so polite. Everyone is like this. If you help me, I will help you, everyone's life will get better and better. But your family is so big, where is your family?" Xi Rou asked curiously.

The Wei family has a large yard and many houses. It can be seen that it used to be a big family. Why is he alone living here now?

Wei Guoqiang was half full and was no longer in a hurry. He stopped and said, "It's a long story. Our Wei family is a family of cloth dyers. Our ancestors opened a dyeing workshop. The business is quite big. In our generation, people Ding withered away. People from the Wei family used to live here, including my parents, my brother’s family, my wife, and my son.”

"Where have they gone?" Xirou became even more curious.

Wei Guoqiang sighed again: "Five years ago, my parents passed away one after another, and then my son was drunk and driving, and got into a car accident, and he was gone. My wife couldn't accept that a white-headed man gave a black-headed man away. Within two years, he was gone too. Our family used to run a dyeing factory and do fabric business. Because I was hit hard and couldn't take care of it, I left it to my younger brother and his family. Everything was fine at first, but later on my nephew often asked me to sign contracts. , when he asked me to sign for goods, I thought that they would take care of the business and we were all a family, so I felt relieved, so I signed whatever he gave me without even looking at it. I later found out that he What he signed for me was an equity transfer agreement, and he took away the fabric factory I worked so hard to run without spending a penny. Because of this, they and I turned against each other and we have never interacted with each other forever."

Xirou felt sad after hearing this. For the sake of profit, she even ignored family ties. What happened to this world?

"You didn't make trouble with them?" Xirou said angrily.

"It's making trouble, but what's the use? They have a legal equity transfer contract in their hands, so I can't sue." Wei Guoqiang said helplessly. "Forget it, if we don't talk about this anymore, I won't live for many years. Let's just leave it at that. No more fighting."

Xirou didn't say anything, she just felt a suffocation in her chest. It was so irritating. How could a bad person live so well?

She calmed down for a while and then said comfortingly: "Grandpa Wei, you have to live a good life. It is said that evil will be punished. It's not that there will be no retribution, it's because the time has not yet come. Just wait, they will definitely be punished."

"Haha, okay, I'm living well." Wei Guoqiang looked at Xi Rou's bulging little face and felt very comforted.
