Chapter 8

Seeing the little baby miserably sobbing so quietly with her eyes swimming in tears and only staring at him, Grandpa Liu couldn't remain lying down and sat up in a panic.

He sat up anxiously and overlooked that there was no pain or discomfort in his body.

He gathered the baby in his arms and patted her on the back. “Nannan, don't cry, don't cry, Nannan cries and grandpa will be painted. It's alright, don't cry, don't cry ~”

The strength on her back was a bit heavy and awkward, but every time it landed, it conveyed a power that stabilized Liu Yusheng's mind.

Raising her tear-stained face, Liu Yusheng sobbed, “Nannan, no, pear, Nannan, want, grandpa!”

Grandpa Liu patting her back froze and looked at the small dumpling in front of his eyes, and his eyes reddened. He nodded his head at once, “Okay, okay, Nannan wants Grandpa, Grandpa will always be with my precious Nannan!”

A smile burst through the little baby's tears, a smile as bright as the sun breaking through the dark clouds, brightening the whole room.

Tiny hands clung to Grandpa Liu's neck as the baby struggled to stand up, and then printed a kiss on the old man's wrinkled face.

"Nannan, favorite, grandpa!"

“Hahaha, grandpa also loves my family's dear Nannan!”

The old and the young, a hearty and warm laughter intertwined, blending with room temperature.

Outside the door, Grandma Liu, who was about to come enter, stopped, quietly wiped the tears from her eyes, and turned back to the stove.

She has to cook a rice porridge for her Nannan, and the old man's medicine has to be fried.

In the kitchen, Chen Xiulan was curious seeing Grandma Liu coming back so quickly, “Mother, I can handle everything here. Go and look after father. I worried Nannan might disturb her grandpa.”

"It's alright, the old man already woke up. That old one and the baby are being lovey-dovey, let them enjoy themselves.” She waved her hand in the air and smiled buoyantly. The remnants of the sorrow clouding her eyebrows instantly disappeared, “Go and get some corn flour, add some sugar and I'll bake two sweet cakes for us.”

Although the old man has lived through the accident, and all the money at home has been spent, as long as he's doing well, those are not important.

The laughter in this family would not disappear.

As the sky became brighter and quieter, the sound of movement in the yard gradually increased. Liu Dalin and Liu Erlin came to see Grandpa Liu and the father tried to brush his face in front of his daughter. “Nannan, dad is going to the field, be a good girl at home …"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw the little dumpling sliding down the bed and then ran out past him.

Liu Dalin, “…” Why does he always feel that the father has no place in his daughter's heart.

Liu Erlin snickered unabashedly on the side, inciting Liu Dalin into wanting to give him a punch.

“Okay, you two hurry and leave, the air has already gone turbid here!” As soon as the little baby disappeared, Grandpa Liu chased people away full of beans.

The two brothers who were turbid, “…”

Alas, the little figure came back again, dragging a leather water bag strenuously in her arms half the height of the little girl. Her steps were wobbly and her face had already flushed pink.

Liu Dalin quickly met her to take over the water bag. The frustration on his face was instantly swept away, “Nannan, is this for Dad?”

Liu Yusheng nodded, panting, “Dad, take, drink.”

“Okay, okay. Dad will bring it to the field. I'll drink it when I'm thirsty. The water daughter brought for dad must be especially sweet!” The stupid dad grinned from ear to ear.

“Uncle, drink, together.”

Liu Erlin's injured heart was immediately cured.

Before Grandpa Liu could evict them again, they both went to the field together.

The Liu family, like everyone else in the village, are all honest farmers. They rely mainly on the harvest in the field to maintain the family's budget, which can't easily be delayed.

In addition, the family is now very poor and the brothers are the only major labor force beside the old man. In order to keep the family from starving, they naturally have to work harder.

Liu Yusheng naturally knew what's going on at home.

Their silver has run out. Her two elder brothers, who had planned to attend school this year, have to wait.

Her grandparents showed nothing on their faces, but they must be very anxious.

Climbing up on the hoe again, Liu Yusheng spent time amusing Grandpa Liu, but a wrinkle would sometimes form on her brows.

Was there any way to make money at home without appearing obtrusive?

If only she were a little older, she was only turning two, and there's nothing she could do without coming out suspicious. Otherwise, she would be a monster in the eyes of others.

For the first time, she felt bound and unable to do anything about it.

At lunch time, the family was ready to sit down. Liu Dalin and Uncle Erlin came back ma.s.saging their backs.

As soon as Liu Dalin stepped in, he gave her baby daughter a kiss and prattled,  "Nannan's water is delicious. Dad did all the work in the morning, but didn't feel tired after drinking a few sips, hahaha!”

“You're right. After usually spending the morning in the field, I couldn't wait to lie down when I came back. It's strange today, I feel like my strength is inexhaustible.” Liu Erlin sat on the stool with his big b.u.t.t and beamed.

Their vigor can be heard from their liveliness.

"Alright, that's enough you two, come and eat now." said Grandma Liu, while setting the table. She glanced displeased at the two of them. “Your father has to raise his bones for a while, and the livelihood in the field depends on you two. Are you afraid that your strength will not be enough?”

Liu Yusheng just pouted and giggled.

The water in the water bag was mixed with spiritual spring water. It can help relieve fatigue at the same time, nourish the body and restore vitality while coping with basic physical work. Naturally, they'd work unimpeded.

Since she is still young and can't help her family with anything, she can at least secretly take care of her family's health and contribute a little.

There is also a water tank at home. She also poured Lingquan into it.

She has no other wish but to protect the family as best she can.

In just a moment, the two men have already begun eating.

“Hmm, weird, mother, what's added to the dish today, why do I feel like it tastes much better than usual?” Liu Erlin was surprised, and at the same time stuffed a large piece of cabbage with his chopsticks into his mouth.

“I just cooked as usual, but does it taste different?” Grandma Liu brushed it off, but when she really tasted some, her eyes narrowed.

The taste was indeed different. It was a little sweeter, and the taste was especially fresh. Now that she is old, her appet.i.te has always been bad. Her stomach would always be a little uncomfortable after eating, but she does n't feel that way today.

Obviously, it was as usual. She just boiled the cabbage, why was it so different?

"Mother, I was right, wasn't I? It's more delicious than usual!” Liu Erlin confirmed when her mother's reaction, she must have tasted it the same way.

“Your mouth just can't stop even when eating. Hurry up and eat!” For no reason, Grandma Liu glared at him, and the whole family bowed their heads obediently.

There's been a subtle change after the meal, the plates were clean and slick, leaving no soup on top.
