"Okay, got it, Uncle Xu. I'll buy you some delicious food before you leave in a couple of days. You can take it with you on the way."

Nowadays, some small businesses that make a living have resumed operations. When the time comes, I will go and see if there are any cakes that Uncle Xu likes and buy some for him.

"Bribery is useless. You have to listen to me and consider Wenlan and Lecheng more. They are still young."

Xu Nuo coughed. He was over sixty years old now and would feel uncomfortable if he spoke a few more words. His health was no longer as good as before.

Seeing him like this, Jinzhen couldn't help but feel nervous and quickly agreed.

"Okay, I will definitely take good care of the two children, don't worry."

She helped Uncle Xu sit down aside, poured him some water, and felt relieved only after seeing him calm down.

"Why is your health so bad all of a sudden? Wasn't it fine before? Is it because you haven't been eating well in the past few years?"

In her memory, Uncle Xu was still as talkative and cheerful and full of vigor as he used to be. But now he is so thin that only bones can be felt through his clothes. It is really pitiful.

What on earth has Uncle Xu been through over the years that he has changed so much?

Xu Nuo waved his hand and smiled weakly, "Jin Zhen, don't worry. I was accidentally injured while on a mission some time ago. I haven't recovered well yet. I will be fine after a while."

These are not the most important things. What is important is that you really can’t be so willful anymore.

"You must remember what I said. You must spend more time with your children."

Even at his current age, Xu Nuo has not married or had children. He loves Jin Zhen as if he were his own child. He loves Jin Zhen's child even more and does not want to separate mother and child.

Shen Jinzhen tried hard to hold back his tears and said, "Okay, I will definitely spend more time with them when I don't have any missions."

"That's good, let's go back quickly, otherwise it will be dark and unsafe."

It was already afternoon, and it was getting dark when Jin Zhen returned to the Shen Mansion. Xu Nuo immediately urged him.

Shen Jinzhen refused. She wanted to spend more time with Uncle Xu. Due to the war, they had been apart for many years. Now that Uncle Xu's health had deteriorated, she was worried.

"Didn't you say you were going to look for your brother? Why don't you hurry back and continue looking for him tomorrow."

Xu Nuo was reluctant to leave Jin Zhen, but everyone had things to do now, so it would be nice to wait until they were done with their work. They could chat and drink tea together every day and watch the children play together.

"it is good."

Although Shen Jinzhen was reluctant, the most important thing at the moment was to find his brother. He hurried back after seeing that Uncle Xu was fine.

Finally, I got back before sunset.

During this period, the entire Shanghai was in a state of being unmanaged, and the problem of people not being able to afford food remained unsolved.

Except for some people who have some family wealth and can still trade with vegetable farmers to make ends meet, everyone else seems to have no idea where to put their next meal.

"Madam, please have pity on us. The child is only one year old. You can take him home and make him a servant."

Just as Shen Jinzhen walked by, a middle-aged man was begging a lady who looked relatively wealthy to accept his child.

"Would you like to have fun?"

The lady felt disgusted, spat to the side, and left.

On the other side, a child of a few years old was putting his hands into other people's bags, preparing valuable items.

"Where did this thief come from?"

The person concerned noticed something was wrong with his body and started scolding the child. The child seemed to be a repeat offender and ran away immediately.
