Jiang Yueshen first looked around and found that the weeds at the door were overgrown and the moss on the alley was also green.

However, there are no weeds in the center of the alley, which is obviously caused by people walking there all year round.

Otherwise, Jiang Yueshen would really think that Director Xiong had found the wrong place.

Knock knock knock, Jiang Yueshen gently knocked on the door knocker.

quite a while.

"Who is it?" A hoarse and slightly old woman's voice came.

"Hello, I am Liang Zhankang's friend." Jiang Yueshen said.

After a while, the door was opened with a creaky sound from the inside.

Then a face that had experienced many vicissitudes of life appeared in front of Jiang Yueshen.

Her hair was gray and white, and her face had many wrinkles. What touched Jiang Yue even more was that the old woman was actually blind.

The cloudy whites of his eyes had lost their normal spirituality and were obviously unable to see.

"Hello, my name is Jiang Yueshen, I'm Liang Zhankang's friend, he..."

Jiang Yueshen was so deeply touched that his voice began to tremble.

After deliberately calming down, he continued, "I met him when I was delivering supplies to the front line. He asked me to come back specially to let you know that you are safe."

"I hope you can stay well at home and wait for him to return home safely."

Yes, Jiang Yueshen lied.

He couldn't tell her the news of Liang Zhankang's sacrifice, and he didn't have the courage to tell her such a cruel reality...

But I can only use this kind of white lie to improve my meager strength.

When the woman heard that it was her son's friend, she smiled and took Jiang Yueshen's hand and said:

"It turns out that he is Xiaokang's friend. That's great. As long as he is safe, I will feel at ease."

"Come on, come on, please come in. I'll get you some water."

Jiang Yueshen did not refuse and followed the woman into the house.

Seeing the small courtyard and room, Jiang Yueshen suddenly remembered the house he lived in his hometown.

It is extremely similar to the scene in front of me.

"Are you thirsty? Drink some water...drink some water..."

Although the woman couldn't see, she was still quite accurate in holding things in her hands.

It can be seen that the woman has been living alone for a long time and has become accustomed to it.

"How's Xiaokang? He's on the front line... Is the war intense?"

The woman seemed to want to ask him how things were going at the front, but seemed to realize that it was inappropriate to ask.

Because the fighting is endless and bullets have no eyes, who can guarantee that if we are safe today, we will also be safe tomorrow?

Then he changed the question and asked about the war.

"The battle on the front line has seen hope of victory. I believe Liang Zhankang and other soldiers will return home soon."

"He is very busy at the front and cannot come back to greet you, so I came to see you on his behalf."

"He asked me to give you these meat and flour."

After she finished speaking, tears actually welled up in the corners of the woman's eyes. Although she was extremely sad, those tears were only a little.

This is obviously blindness caused by tears running dry.

Jiang Yueshen did not dissuade her. He could naturally understand the old woman's feelings and worries as a mother.

"Hey...Xiao Jiang, you bought all this food with your own money, right? You don't have to lie to me."

Jiang Yueshen didn't expect the old man to have guessed it...

"Xiao Kangzi is usually very frugal. Besides, the soldiers on the frontline are hungry and cold, so how can they afford to buy so much food?"

"Even if he had money, he couldn't possibly buy so much food."

"Xiao Jiang, my wife appreciates your kindness. Thank you. I am very happy that you can bring me the news that he is safe."

Uh, Jiang Yueshen overlooked this point.

After all, this little bit of meat is not a big deal for himself, but for Liang Zhankang's family, it may be a huge sum of money.

Jiang Yueshen originally wanted to give more, but now it seems that he can’t give it anymore.

I can only visit her more often and bring her supplies.

"Don't worry, Liang Zhankang and I have a life-long friendship. I will visit you often on his behalf in the future."

"Don't save these supplies, eat them when you need them."

The woman nodded and smiled to express her gratitude to Jiang Yueshen.

"By the way, what's wrong with your eyes?"

Jiang Yueshen wanted to ask, maybe he could cure the other person's eyes through acupuncture.

If she regains her eyesight, it will be of great help to her living on her own.

"Ah... this is because I was in my childhood and was so sad that I cried all day long."

"Xiao Kangzi's brother, sister, and father all died on the battlefield."

"Xiao Kangzi was also seriously injured, but luckily God showed mercy and he survived."

"I was so sad that my tears dried up and I couldn't see anymore."

"It happened many years ago...ah..."

The woman's sigh was filled with sadness and helplessness, which deeply touched Jiang Yueshen.

"Have you been to the hospital?" Jiang Yueshen asked.

The woman shook her head: "No, my family didn't have the conditions at that time, and the war was so intense."

"There aren't enough medicines to treat the wounded soldiers. My minor illness won't take up any medical supplies."

Jiang Yueshen frowned deeply.

This answer is brief, but it reveals a spirit of dedication from the helplessness and sadness.

Putting aside the medical expenses, he would rather go blind than let these medical resources be used on the soldiers who deserve them.

This idea is pure and simple, yet noble and admirable.

This is just Liang Zhankang’s mother, but how will the families and relatives of those ancestors who have sacrificed their lives live?

Will she also live alone and in poverty like Liang Zhankang's mother?

In contrast, the deaf old lady in the courtyard enjoys the preferential treatment of a five-guarantee household.

Food, clothing, and medical care are all heavily subsidized by the state, but people like her are scheming against each other in the compound all day long, trying to establish the image of an ancestor in the eyes of everyone.

And she forced many people to respect and honor her with her as the center.

Let me ask you, if you have really done all these, do you still need to deliberately make others respect you?

Jiang Yueshen felt that people like the deaf old lady were not worthy of being included in the five-guarantee household list.

This spot should be given to Liang Zhankang's mother!

"If there is a chance, we must deprive the deaf old lady of her place. She doesn't deserve such treatment."

Jiang Yueshen had this thought in his mind.

"Aunt, I am a medical student. Your eyes may be able to heal. Let me take a look at them for you."

The woman’s eye problem was not a disease, but rather eye gland damage caused by excessive strain on the eye glands.

It can be cured by taking Chinese medicine and acupuncture.

This is not a problem at all for Jiang Yueshen.

"Xiao Jiang, do I still need to take medicine to treat my illness? Do I still need to spend money on it?"

Jiang Yueshen smiled and said, "It's okay, auntie. It won't cost much. It's much cheaper than going to the hospital."
