He was silent.
Yu Xiaoxiao said quietly at this time: "Why don't you continue?"
An'er remained silent. No matter how smart or scheming he was, he was still a child after all.
Not hearing anything, Yu Xiaoxiao was finally willing to give An'er a look: "Since you don't pretend anymore, just tell me what you want to do? I don't like beating around the bush."
An'er stared at Yu Xiaoxiao's face seriously, as if she wanted to confirm whether Yu Xiaoxiao was telling the truth.
After staring for a long time, An'er noticed something. She lowered her head in frustration and did not speak.
Yu Xiaoxiao didn't speak either, and the two of them were just in a stalemate.
Finally, An'er couldn't hold it in any longer. He looked at Yu Xiaoxiao and said, "Are you telling the truth?"
Yu Xiaoxiao nodded in a good mood.
An'er pinched her clothes tightly with both hands and said seriously: "Can you help me take care of grandma? When I grow up, I will do things for you to repay you."
An'er was a little scared and a little looking forward to it. Grandma was not in good health anymore. He was too small and not very strong. He couldn't get food for Grandma. He hoped that this person had never beaten or scolded him or Grandma. The palace maid can kindly help him.
Yu Xiaoxiao looked this little kid up and down, but she didn't even think about giving him a hand. For this reason, she was willing to help.
Sigh... However, I'm afraid that the old grandma doesn't have many days left. Although she has medical skills, the old grandma's body has been damaged for a long time, and her roots have been damaged. In addition, she is getting older, so she can't even give her treatment. Not long.
What will we do when the old grandma is gone and this thin little baby is left behind?
No, I can still put it off as long as I can, I don’t want to raise a baby.
Yu Xiaoxiao quickly stood up and headed towards the old grandma's house. After a moment of confusion, An'er hurriedly trotted to follow.
The old grandma was already a little inconvenient at this time and spent most of her time half-lying in the room. She probably realized that her time was running out, so she always asked An'er to get in touch with Yu Xiaoxiao, intentionally or unintentionally.
However, Yu Xiaoxiao basically didn't go out, and she never said a word when they met her occasionally. Until today, An'er finally struck up a conversation with her.
When the old grandma saw Yu Xiaoxiao coming into the room, she braced herself and planned to stand up to greet him.
Her door was open, and she could see the courtyard from the angle where she lay. She was still worried that something might happen to An'er.
"Mommy, there's no need to get up, I just came to see you."
Yu Xiaoxiao quickly came to the bed and said with a smile.
The old mama smiled kindly and stopped embarrassing herself. She waved to An'er, who was following Yu Xiaoxiao, and motioned for him to come to her.
Yu Xiaoxiao scanned the room and found that there was nothing to sit on, so she could only stand.
"Mommy, I know some medical skills and I'll take your pulse."
The old grandma looked at Yu Xiaoxiao in surprise, somewhat disbelieving.
An'er's eyes instantly became bright when he heard this. He looked at Yu Xiaoxiao blankly and asked expectantly: "Sister, can you cure grandma?"
Yu Xiaoxiao didn't answer him, and stretched out her hand to take the old grandma's pulse. It was just as she thought, she could only keep it warm and wait for a while.
It's better to eat better and get better.
"Mommy, I will bring you your food in the future."
The fire of hope in the old nanny's eyes slowly disappeared. She should have known better and shouldn't have had those extravagant hopes. But if she went, what would An'er do?
Thinking about it, the old mama glanced at Yu Xiaoxiao and lowered her head. I wonder if I can ask this girl to take care of An'er?
Yu Xiaoxiao couldn't tell what the old grandma was thinking, but she really didn't want to. Taking care of the children was too troublesome and required too much effort.
She shook her head and walked out of the room.
An'er wanted to chase her, but the old woman stopped her: "An'er, come back."
Sometimes silence is the best answer. Yu Xiaoxiao didn't say a word, which made the child understand, but he didn't want to give up. This was his only relative.
"Be obedient, An'er."
More and more tears welled up in An'er's eyes. He stood there stubbornly, unwilling to look back.
The old grandma smiled helplessly and said: "Good boy, An'er. I know my body well. I don't have many days left to live. But my An'er is still young. How can I bear to let An'er go?" Alone and helpless..."
An'er wiped the tears from her face and returned to the bedside with red eyes, lowering her head and choking. She didn't want to lose her grandma.
The old grandma stroked An'er's head, her thoughts drifting further and further away...
From then on, Yu Xiaoxiao would bring them a meal every day, including Yu Xiaoxiao's leftover steamed buns and vegetables.
But soon, the extra meal that Yu Xiaoxiao could get was gone. She could only give them her own meal and go to the space to deal with it herself.
After winter came, grandma could no longer get out of bed. She finally survived the winter, but died on the first day of spring.
When she was dying, she asked Yu Xiaoxiao to help take care of An'er. Yu Xiaoxiao didn't want her to die in peace, so she finally agreed.
Yu Xiaoxiao went to report the death of the old woman, and someone came to take away the body. Generally speaking, bodies that are not claimed by family members will be thrown directly into mass graves.
But when Yu Xiaoxiao saw An'er's pitiful look, she reluctantly spent some of the money she had finally saved and asked the father-in-law who carried the body to help transport it and bury it.
An'er cried miserably and thanked Yu Xiaoxiao, then continued to feel sad.
Yu Xiaoxiao was used to farewells, so she didn't have any big mood swings when she fell down. When it was time to eat, she went to get the food and brought it back to An'er.
After An'er was languid for three days, Yu Xiaoxiao decided to find something to do for the child. He was really an eyesore.
"An'er, come here."
Yu Xiaoxiao shouted to the wilted child.
An'er came over silently and stood in front of Yu Xiaoxiao.
"Tomorrow I will teach you how to read and practice martial arts. Have a good rest today."
After saying that, An'er went back to the house and closed the door without giving her a chance to refuse.
An'er stared blankly at the closed door for a long time, then silently returned to her room.
Early the next morning, Yu Xiaoxiao grabbed An'er from the bed and asked him to lay the foundation for horse walking.
After he woke up completely, Yu Xiaoxiao began to teach him how to read. At the same time, he couldn't slack off on Zama Bu.
When it was time to eat, Yu Xiaoxiao went to get the meal and came back. He secretly smuggled a lot from the space, which was enough for his body.
In the evening, she made another medicinal bath for An'er. The medicinal materials were picked in the mountains when she was a child.
After the medicinal bath was prepared, she stripped An'er, who was already exhausted and paralyzed, and threw him in to soak. She held a pony and watched beside him, fearing that he would not have the strength to drown.
While soaking, An'er fell asleep. Yu Xiaoxiao estimated the time, and when it was almost time, he took the person out, dried the person with her internal force, and stuffed the person into the bed.
He touched a quilt and found it was stiff. It looked like he needed to change the quilt.
