Shen Rong and Changsheng were carrying a basket and heading towards the kitchen. When they passed by Sixth Grandma's window, they heard Sixth Grandpa's deep voice, but they couldn't hear clearly what he said.

Over the past two days, Shen Rong was not blind, so she could see that Sixth Grandma was worried. If she was really sick, it was probably a mental illness.

But since the old man didn't say anything, she didn't feel comfortable asking.

However, when she saw the two old people like this, she felt a little worried.

In her previous life, she spent most of her life in a daze. She really had no idea what had happened in the village. This time, she was still completely in the dark.

Shen Rong was secretly anxious, but there was nothing she could do.

Shen Rong asked Changsheng to put the pork in the cupboard, and then looked at the stove. Sure enough, there was no sign of cooking, and grandpa and grandma had not eaten yet.

She wiped her hands and called Changsheng to light the fire. She was going to steam some rice for her grandparents.

After Shen Rong and Changsheng finished steaming the rice and heated up the dishes they brought back, grandpa finally came out of the house.

Sixth Grandpa seemed no different from usual, but Shen Rong still saw a trace of sadness on his face.

Shen Rong opened her mouth, wanting to ask what happened and whether grandma's illness had improved, but when Sixth Grandpa came into the kitchen, he waved his hand at the two of them and said, "Changsheng, your wife is still pregnant. Don't be busy. It's cold today. Take your wife back to the house quickly. I'll clean up the dishes later."

"Oh." Changsheng responded, but he stood in the kitchen for a long time without moving.

Seeing Changsheng standing there with his lips pursed, Sixth Grandpa was a little surprised, "Changsheng, do you have anything else to do?"

Shen Rong took a look at the expression on Changsheng's face and knew that Changsheng was worried because he hadn't seen his grandmother for a day.

Shen Rong opened her mouth and wanted to ask on Changsheng's behalf, how is grandma?

But then she thought, there is still a long way to go in the future! She can't say everything for Changsheng.

It's a good thing that Changsheng can speak up now. She should let Changsheng exercise more.

Changsheng pursed his lips and stared at his toes, whispering, "Is grandma healed?"

Seeing that Changsheng had grown up a lot, Sixth Grandpa relaxed his solemn expression and said, "Your grandma is fine. Don't worry, Changsheng."

Unexpectedly, when Changsheng heard this, he raised his head and looked at his grandfather with an accusing look on his face: "Grandpa, you lied to me. Grandma is fine, why doesn't she stay in the house? Only people who are sick lie in the house every day."

Sixth Grandpa took a few steps forward, raised his hand and touched Changsheng's shoulder, "If you are worried about your grandma, go to the house to see her."

Changsheng's eyes lit up and he turned and went to his grandmother's room.

Seeing this, Shen Rong followed.

At this time, it was already dark.

The oil lamp had been lit in Sixth Grandma's room.

Under the dim oil lamp, Sixth Grandma was sitting on the bed, staring at the orchid handkerchief in her hand.

Shen Rong noticed with her sharp eyes that the handkerchief was a little unusual, it looked both new and old.

The fabric of the handkerchief was the best material Shen Rong had ever seen, but it was a pity that the fabric had become old and yellowed due to being worn for too long.

Despite this, the handkerchief was obviously treasured by someone, and there was no sign of use on it, so Shen Rong felt that the handkerchief was both new and old.

"Grandma, are you better now?" Changsheng's voice was much softer than usual.

Only then did Sixth Grandma come to her senses and looked up at Changsheng and Shen Rong.

"Why are you here?" Sixth Grandma subconsciously put away the handkerchief.

"Grandma, Changsheng hasn't seen you for a whole day and he was worried about you." Shen Rong heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Sixth Grandma didn't look sick at all, just a little sad.

It seems that grandma is suffering from a mental illness. No one knows what has happened to make the old lady so worried, Shen Rong guessed in her heart.

Sixth Grandma waved to Changsheng, and Changsheng immediately walked forward and stood beside Grandma's bed.

Sixth Grandma touched Changsheng's arm, looked up at Changsheng's face, and said with relief: "Changsheng has grown up and knows how to care about grandma. Changsheng, don't worry about grandma, grandma is fine!

No matter where you go in the future, remember to listen to your wife, remember?"

Changsheng blinked and said, "I listen to my wife and my grandparents."

The corners of Sixth Grandma's mouth rose slightly, "You still have a long way to go in your life. Your grandfather and I can't accompany you for the rest of your life. Only your wife will always be with you. From now on... you have to listen to your wife."

Shen Rong felt a little strange when she heard Sixth Grandma say these words.

In the previous life, Sixth Grandma and Sixth Grandpa passed away five years later, and it was quite sudden. I didn’t hear that either of them was seriously ill.

Logically speaking, the two of them should be fine now, but listening to Sixth Grandma's tone, it seemed like something had happened that she didn't know about.

Unfortunately, Sixth Grandma obviously didn't intend to say more. She gently patted Changsheng's arm and said, "Go back. It's cold today. You two should rest early."

I don’t know if Changsheng understood what Sixth Grandma meant. I guess he didn’t!

Shen Rong glanced at Changsheng, only to see him obediently walk to her side, holding her arm and about to leave.

After I visited Sixth Grandma that evening, her illness quickly recovered, but the old lady became less and less willing to go out.

Before the Chinese New Year, Sixth Grandpa took Changsheng out twice.

Later, Shen Rong asked Changsheng where he had been, and Changsheng happily said that he had gone to move.

When Shen Rong wanted to ask for more clarification, Changsheng covered his mouth and refused to say anything.

It was the twelfth lunar month and time passed quickly. New Year's Eve was approaching, but the eldest and second brothers had not returned yet. Not only was Lu anxious, but Shen Rong was also a little worried.

This day is the day before New Year's Eve, the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Shen Rong's eldest brother and his wife and second brother and his wife finally returned to Taohua Village in a ox cart.

The two brothers brought back a lot of New Year's goods from the county, and the ox cart stopped when passing by Shen Rong's house.

"Sanniang, Sanniang, open the door!" Li Fenglian jumped off the ox cart and banged on the door of her sister-in-law's house.

Shen Rong was warming herself by the fire in the main room. When she heard a voice outside that sounded like her sister-in-law, she quickly got up. Changsheng saw this and hurriedly followed, helping Shen Rong out.

The two of them came to the yard and opened the door. When Shen Rong saw that it was her sister-in-law, she was overjoyed.

Looking behind the eldest sister-in-law, the eldest and second brothers were on the ox cart, and the second sister-in-law was rummaging through something in the cart.

"Sister-in-law, brother, second brother, second sister-in-law, you are finally back. You have traveled a long way by car. Come in and have a cup of hot tea!" Shen Rong walked out quickly from the door.

Although they were freezing all the way, their faces were still beaming with joy.

"Sanniang, we won't go in. Home is just a few steps away. Let's go back and rest. Brother-in-law, come and move the things." Shen Chunsheng waved to Changsheng with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, the weather is so cold. It's not easy for you to come back. What else did you bring?" Shen Rong said politely.

Ox carts move slowly to begin with, and when there are more things on the cart, the oxen move even slower. In this cold winter, Shen Rong feels very cold for them.

Ma Xiuxiu took out the things for Shen Rong from the ox cart. "This bag is the cloth I bought for the baby in my belly. It's very soft. This bag is for my sister-in-law. These are wool boots. They are made of wool inside. They are very warm. And this, this... and these are food. This lotus leaf wrapper is braised meat. I specially saved it from the shop because my sister-in-law is pregnant and I can cook one less dish on New Year's Eve..."

"This...this is too much..." Shen Rong was shocked when she saw her second sister-in-law taking out a pile of things.

"Hey! These are just some worthless things, so just take them, sister-in-law."

Seeing that Changsheng couldn't carry all the things by himself, Ma Xiuxiu ordered her husband to help carry the things in.

The noise outside Shen Rong's house alarmed several families next door.

It's really cold now, but the villagers are really idle.

Hearing the noise, everyone no longer felt cold. They stood in front of their doors, facing the cold wind, and looking at the excitement on Shen Rong's side.
