Chapter 163 Grandpa Wang's House
Although the child was staring intently at the meat on the table and swallowing hard, he remained obediently sitting in his mother's lap without moving.
Helpless, Xiao Siyu could only say to Grandpa Wang, "Grandpa, come and eat with us. There's so much food, we can't finish it all, and it'll get cold soon."
After Xiao Siyu's repeated invitations, Grandpa Wang and his family finally sat down.
However, when they ate, they only picked up vegetables and ate very slowly.
Xiao Sizhe then placed a piece of meat on each of their plates and put it into their respective bowls.
"Have some meat, Auntie's cooking is really good, this chicken is very flavorful." Actually, ordinary farm families can't make very delicious food, not because their skills are bad, but because they lack seasoning.
But in Grandpa Wang's family, this was a feast they could only enjoy during holidays like Chinese New Year.
The group was somewhat flattered.
"Young...Young master, you all eat, there's no need to serve this old man." This was specially made for his benefactor.
"It's alright, let's all eat together," Xiao Sizhe said with a smile, and put two more pieces of chicken on Xiao Niu's plate.
When Xiao Sizhe and Xiao Siyu ate, they deliberately ate vegetarian dishes and left the meat for the Wang family.
It's not that the food was bad, but I know that it's not easy for the Wang family to have meat at a meal, but they are different. When they are at home, they have meat at every meal.
After the meal, Grandpa Wang felt a little embarrassed. The food he had prepared was meant for his benefactor, but it ended up being eaten by his own family.
"This... Young Master Xiao has truly been negligent today."
"How could that be? Grandpa Wang has already helped us a lot by letting us stay here today. Otherwise, we would probably have to sleep on the streets tonight," Xiao Sizhe said, clasping his hands in a fist salute to Grandpa Wang.
"Oh, it's nothing. In fact, it's this old man who should thank you, young master." Old Wang suddenly stood up and wanted to kneel down to Xiao Sizhe.
Xiao Sizhe saw this.
He quickly helped the man up: "Uncle Wang, what are you doing?"
After Xiao Sizhe helped Grandpa Wang sit down, Grandpa Wang suddenly burst into tears.
Xiao Siyu looked at Xiao Sizhe, "What have you done?"
Xiao Sizhe: He doesn't know either.
Xiao Sizhe was also completely confused, as he didn't remember ever helping Grandpa Wang.
"Uncle Wang, what happened?" Xiao Sizhe didn't know and didn't dwell on it, so he asked directly.
"Sigh," Grandpa Wang sighed before recounting the whole story.
It turned out that shortly after Xiao Sizhe left last time, Grandpa Wang's grandson, Xiao Niu, had an accident one day after going out. He slipped, fell, and hit his head.
The children who were playing with Wang Xiaoniu were terrified.
He just stared blankly at Wang Xiaoniu lying on the ground, his blood soaking a small patch of ground.
Finally, it was one of the older children who came to the senses.
He rushed to the Wang family's house to look for someone.
Grandpa Wang rushed over and nearly fainted when he saw the scene.
He thought he was going to lose his grandson. This was their only grandson, the only son in three generations of their family. If he were to die like this, wouldn't it be the death of their entire family?
Despite his grief, Grandpa Wang hurriedly asked someone to fetch a doctor.
He dared not move his grandson easily. He knew that when he was a child, there was a child who fell and hit his head. There was a chance to save him, but because his family did not know, they rushed to take the child to town and he died.
When the doctor arrived, he examined Wang Xiaoniu and said that he still needed to be saved, but they simply couldn't afford the money needed for the treatment.
Throughout the year, these farmers barely managed to keep themselves from starving thanks to the harvest from the fields; there was no money left over.
Therefore, they dare not get any serious illnesses.
The other families in the village were in the same boat; they couldn't borrow money even if they wanted to.
Just as they were getting anxious, Grandpa Wang suddenly remembered the silver that Xiao Sizhe had left behind when he left.
He hurried back and retrieved it, which saved his grandson.
Xiao Sizhe and Xiao Siyu then realized that this was how it was.
Xiao Sizhe recalled that the silver he had left behind was to thank Grandpa Wang's family, but he never expected that the silver would play such a big role.
Xiao Sizhe suddenly felt very fortunate that the money he had left behind had saved a life.
However, this is also because Grandpa Wang's family is kind-hearted. Everyone says that good deeds will be rewarded and evil deeds will be punished.
The Wang family is kind-hearted; although they had never met him before, they had already let him stay at home.
In the end, it was because of this act of kindness that he saved his grandson.
"Uncle Wang, is the calf fully recovered now?" Xiao Sizhe looked at the well-behaved calf. Although it was thin, it looked very energetic, so it should have recovered by now.
Did Wang Xiaoniu notice Xiao Sizhe's gaze? Somewhat shy, he buried his head in his father's arms.
Grandpa Wang stopped crying and smiled, "Thank you for your concern, young master. Little Niu is all better now, except for a scar on the back of his head."
"As long as the child is alright, it doesn't matter if there are some scars."
"Haha, what you say is true, young master." Grandpa Wang also thought so. Compared to losing his grandson, a little scar was a small matter.
After saying that, he turned to Wang Xiaoniu and said, "Xiaoniu, come here quickly and kowtow to Young Master Xiao to express your gratitude."
Xiao Sizhe couldn't possibly let the child kowtow to him, so he quickly stopped him.
"Uncle Wang, you don't need to be so polite. I'm also very fortunate to be able to help Xiao Niu."
"I still have to thank you, young master."
After chatting for a while, it got a little late.
Grandpa Wang led Xiao Sizhe and the other two to a room to rest.
Of course, the three of them lived in the same room, which was specially vacated by Grandpa Wang.
The next morning, Xiao Sizhe and his two companions got up early, said their goodbyes, and left.
Not long after leaving the Wang family, Xiao Siyu asked Xiao Sizhe, "Brother, did you leave any money behind when you left?"
"We'll keep it." They stayed at the Wang family's house for one night, and the Wang family treated them warmly. They also learned about what had happened to the Wang family before. Xiao Sizhe naturally understood that after the table full of dishes the Wang family prepared for them yesterday, there probably wasn't much left in the house.
Besides, the Wang family are all nice people; we'll help them if we can.
"I kept it too," Xiao Siyu chuckled foolishly.
After hearing about what happened to the Wang family yesterday, Xiao Siyu felt compassion. Besides, he had eaten their food yesterday, so he naturally had to give them some compensation.
After giving Xiao Siyu an approving look, Xiao Sizhe drew the curtain of the carriage.
Xiao Siyue also rode her horse alongside, occasionally exchanging a few words with Xiao Sizhe. Although Xiao Sizhe often ignored her, Xiao Siyue continued to chatter on and on.
The three of them set off towards their next destination.
