Away from the big book, the educated youth became the village favorite by running errands

The brother and sister didn't waste any more time. They found some firewood, put it in the basket and went back.

When the old lady in the room heard the noise, she thought that Hong Xiuzi's people had come again. The old lady asked the little boy to get on the bed quickly, and then she got up again with difficulty and hugged the child in her arms, her body shaking uncontrollably.

She had nothing left at home and her old man was also ill. If that group of people did anything else, she and her grandson would really have no way to survive.

After the brother and sister entered the yard, they locked the gate to prevent someone from suddenly coming in while they were working. Locking the door would give them time to hide things.

"Grandma, it's us." Thinking of the frightened look on the little boy's face before, Song Shuangshuang said at the door that it was them who came in.

"Sister!!" The little boy didn't expect that the brother and sister would come back, and he jumped off the bed excitedly and ran towards Shuangshuang.

Because I was in a hurry, I fell down.

Song Shuangshuang hurried into the house and helped him up, brushing the dirt off his body. "Be careful."

"Sister, brother. Are you back to save my grandpa?" The boy looked at Song Shuangshuang hopefully, his eyes filled with tears and his little face was red from crying.

Song Shuangshuang felt distressed when she saw his skinny little face with almost no flesh on it. He looked to be two years older than Xiaogoudan, but he had less flesh than Xiaogoudan. His clothes were not only big but also full of patches. It was obvious that they were altered from adults' clothes.

"Well, my brother and sister brought some food back. Can we make some for you?"

Unexpectedly, the little boy shook his head and said, "Sister, I don't want to eat. I'll give my share to grandpa and grandma. They haven't eaten for three days."

Song Shuangshuang looked at the two old people on the bed in surprise.

What does it mean to not have eaten for three days? She would feel hungry if she didn't eat for one day, let alone the two elderly people who had not had enough food all year round.

I think the old man went out to find food for his wife and grandson today, but he fainted from hunger in the alley. The neighbors must know his situation. It was lunchtime, but no one cared about him. She couldn't imagine that if they hadn't gone into the city today, the old man would have frozen to death even if he didn't starve to death, and the old lady and children at home... must not be much better.

She didn't come here before because she felt she didn't have that much ability. Even though she doesn't have it now, she really can't turn a blind eye.

Song Shuangshuang turned around and looked at Song Youlin, who nodded.

In fact, even without his sister asking him, he would have chosen to help this family. He is not a heartless person.

【Ding~ Mission updated. Please take care of Old Man Lin and his family, and deliver food once a week, at least 20 kilograms each time. The mission period is two months. After completing the mission, you can choose three areas in the supermarket, and the current points will be doubled. An unknown reward will be given.】

The brother and sister looked at each other at the same time.

I didn't expect the system to release such a task, and the reward for the task is so huge.

The things in the three areas would require at least 200 points, not to mention doubling the existing points, and there would be an unknown reward. Even if that reward was useless, it wouldn't matter if it was just a getaway.

But what does the system mean? Why would it issue such a task?

System [The task is randomly refreshed and has nothing to do with this system. ]

Although the system explained it this way, the brother and sister felt that it was not that simple. However, even if the system did not issue this task, they would take care of it.

Facing the old lady's puzzled look, Song Shuangshuang stood up, put the basket on the table, and said

"Grandma, we got some firewood. You lie down and rest first. I'll bring the porridge to you when it's ready."

Having said that, how could the old lady not understand why Song Shuangshuang and her brother went out just now? She and the old man had indeed not eaten for several days and their bodies could not hold on any longer. But what if someone found out about their family's situation? She couldn't let these two good children get hurt.

For safety reasons, the brother and sister found a system and renewed the "security function" to monitor the situation within 100 meters at any time, and it was subscribed for a quarter.

50 per month, 99 per quarter, 299 per year.

In order to save some points, Song Shuangshuang chose one quarter. After all, this task would take two months.

"You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing your child. Just spend it and earn it back later."

Although the description is not quite appropriate, this is how Song Shuangshuang comforted herself.

"We are out of food...

"It's okay. We're here with you. Just lie down."

The yard of the old couple's house is quite large. Not only is there a main house, but there are also two side rooms and a kitchen. There is even a well in the yard, which shows that the old couple's family conditions were good before.

But when the brother and sister went into the kitchen, they found that there was no firewood or food, not even an iron pot on the stove. There was only a big hole there, and nothing else that could be used. They went to the other two rooms and looked around, but there was nothing there either. It could really be described as a bare house.

There was no other way, Song Shuangshuang could only ask the little boy who followed them what they usually used to cook.

"Listen to grandpa and grandma calling you, can I call you that too? Tell me what grandpa and grandma usually use to cook."

Knowing that Song Shuangshuang and Song Youlin were different from that group of people and were willing to save Grandpa, Shuo Shuo agreed without hesitation and took Song Shuangshuang back to the main house. He pointed to the small clay stove in the corner and a deformed and blackened small aluminum basin.

"That's it. Grandpa and grandma usually use that to cook. They put it there to prevent it from catching fire. Bad guys won't notice it when they come."

Speaking of the latter part, Shuo Shuo bit her lip.

There wasn't much food at home to begin with, and a lot of it was stolen some time ago. So my grandparents had no food to eat, and gave him the only bread they had left.

"Shuo..." Song Shuangshuang wanted to ask Shuo Shuo where the kettle was, but she found that her throat was so hoarse that she couldn't speak at all.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Song Youlin noticed that his sister was abnormal and comforted Shuoshuo that she was fine, just thirsty.

"Then I'll pour some water for my sister." Shuo Shuo trotted to the table and wanted to step on a stool to get the kettle to pour water. When he ran into the house, he remembered that the group of people came last time and broke the kettle, so it was useless.

"Sister, I'm sorry, there is no kettle at home. They are all..."

Seeing his guilty look, Song Shuangshuang quickly said that it was okay and she was not thirsty anymore.

"Sister, it's okay. You can go inside and accompany grandpa and grandma first. Brother and sister are cooking outside. Sister will call you out when it's ready. You can bring it in and feed grandpa. Grandpa will definitely get better."

"Okay, then I'll go into the house and stay with Grandpa."

When Shuo Shuo heard that grandpa could get better, his legs moved rapidly.

Listening to Shuo Shuo talking to grandma in the house, the brother and sister prepared to get out the food to cook, but before that they had to fetch some water.

Fortunately, there is a well in the yard, so there is no need to worry too much about water problems, but this family doesn’t even have a water tank.

It's not that there isn't one. There is one in the yard, but it was smashed and there is only snow inside now.

The old man and the old lady looked so weak that they probably didn't have the strength to fetch water. Thinking of Shuo Shuo's chapped lips, Song Shuangshuang didn't want to wait for the water to boil. She directly took a bottle of purified water from the space and poured it into an aluminum basin, heated it until it was warm, poured it into a bowl and brought it into the house.

"Shuo Shuo, drink some water first."
