"Are you here?"

Grandma Xia did not see Yan Chenbei when she was in the hospital last time.

"You are Chen Bei, right?"

Yan Chenbei didn't expect that Grandma Xia actually remembered his name.

"Yes, grandma."

"Thank you for curing Grandpa Qiqi's illness. The old man often asked Qiqi to bring you home to play."

"Grandma, what are you talking about?"

Qiqi pulled grandma into the house.

When Eunuch Xia heard the words, he was already standing at the door of the main hall with his crutches.

"coming."

"Grandpa, lie down quickly. How did you come out?"

Qiqi ran over, helped grandpa into the house, and sat on the bench.

The three of them sat and talked while grandma took the black fish to the well in the yard to clean it up.

"Chen Bei bought you a black fish, which will be good for your wound recovery. I'll go make you some soup while you guys talk."

Qiqi chatted with grandpa for a while, and then went to the kitchen to help grandma cook.

"This child is honest and handsome."

While grandma lit the fire, Qiqi cut open the black fish, dripped some oil into the iron pan, fried some chopped green onions and pepper leaves, then put the fish meat in, stir-fried it, added water, and started to stew the soup.

"Are you as handsome as me?"

Qiqi waved her hands and joked with her grandma.

"Of course not as good as my Qiqijun. Owls all look after their own children."

Grandma laughed.

Seeing that the yellowness on Qiqi's face was gone and now it was glowing with a bright white luster, and wearing the new clothes she made, she looked even more beautiful.

She really looks like her mother when she was young.

When she thought of her only daughter, Xia Minrou, who had passed away, a trace of sadness flashed across Grandma Xia's face.

When Qiqi saw her grandmother’s expression change, she knew that when she saw her, she thought of her dead mother again.

"Grandma, Mom is a well-educated doctor, why would she marry Dad, a country bumpkin?"

This is something Qiqi has never understood.

Although her father Liang Deshui is old, it can still be seen that he must have been a handsome young man when he was young. Her eldest brother Liangshan imitated her father and was also one of the most handsome young men in the village, but unfortunately he was a little stupid. But her grandparents died early, leaving only her father and a lame uncle. With such poor conditions, no matter how handsome her mother was, she should not marry him.

"Our Xia family has a poor background. Your mother was expelled from the hospital and returned to the countryside because of us. She can't read and can't eat or drink. In addition, her class background is so high, how can she find a good family?"

Grandma Xia sighed, thinking about her daughter who was in her prime and as beautiful as a flower, but now she is staying at home like an old maid, unable to get married, and causing worries for the whole family. She will never forget the matter until her death.

"Your father is handsome, has skills, and can read a few words. Plus, there are only two of us brothers, no parents, so he is the most suitable."

Grandma Xia thought of what the matchmaker said when he introduced her son-in-law Liang Deshui.

Indeed, given their family's conditions, it is not easy to find such a suitable son-in-law.

And just like that, the girl got married.

The son-in-law had some carpentry skills and had some spare money, so my daughter lived a good life for a few years after she got married.

Until disaster strikes.

So many years have passed, and whenever Grandma Xia thinks of what happened back then, she feels very disappointed.

I feel sad for my daughter and for the world.

"Grandma?"

Qiqi wanted to ask how her mother died, but she didn't dare to ask for fear of making her grandmother sad.

For so many years, she only heard people say that her mother died after giving birth to her. No one told her why she died, whether it was due to difficult labor or some other reason.

She asked her father, but he was vague and didn't say anything.

She didn't dare ask her grandparents for fear of making them sad.

People in the village who are about the same age as her parents should know the truth, but when she asked a few, no one said anything.
