Chapter 91 Explore again
Faced with the old woman's sudden probing, Su Ning remained calm, her smile growing even more harmless. "The truth about Grandma Qu's matter can only be determined when Uncle Qu returns."

"So no matter what, we have to wait for him to come back, right?"

That one sentence left Huang Shufen speechless: Yes, those two old hags are struggling to live like this, all for their son and grandson.

How desperate and heartbroken I would be if my son returned home only to find my home gone and him gone too.

These life-saving things are an immense debt of gratitude. The two old people didn't have the chance to repay it, but their sons, grandsons, and great-grandsons, generation after generation, will continue to repay it.

Huang Shufen quietly wiped away her tears and made this decision in her heart.

She couldn't just stand by and watch her husband and grandson die; she had to protect the family for her son.

“Ningning…”

"Grandma Qu, where do you think I should put my things?"

Thoughtfully changing the subject, not wanting to provoke the old woman's tears any further, Su Ning picked up the basket from the ground with some difficulty.

"Hey Ningning, be careful, don't strain your back!"

"Then you'd better tell me right away."

"Alright, alright, you're such a clever girl, and you're even more clever with your words. This old woman can't argue with you."

A smile returned to her face, and Huang Shufen jokingly led the people to the kitchen.

There was rice, pheasant, rabbit, and duck eggs, as well as peanuts and soybeans as nutritional supplements, not to mention the supplies sold at the sales cooperative.

Even after mentally preparing myself, I still couldn't help but tremble when I received these things.

"Ningning, listen to your grandma. Don't spend money to buy these things anymore. Save them carefully. When you get married, these savings will be your greatest source of security."

"Don't worry, Grandma Qu, I have enough. Besides, these are all money and coupons given to me by Uncle Qu, right?"

He winked mischievously at her, knowing that the two elderly people must have realized their doubts about his previous explanation.

However, just as she said, until Uncle Qu actually came back, they couldn't verify whether it was given by Uncle Qu or not.

There are countless unsung heroes who are shedding blood and carrying heavy burdens on the unknown front lines, while their families back home, like the Qu family, are perhaps suffering hardships.

She can't save or help everyone, but she won't stand idly by when she learns about what's going on.

This was the first lesson her grandfather taught her when she was young: don't be kind and compassionate to everyone, and once you've discerned the truth, there's no need to be stingy.

As if understanding the implied meaning in her words, she suddenly turned her back and couldn't help but burst into tears. Huang Shufen thought that perhaps she had been wrong.

No matter where her son is or what he's doing, it's all for the people and the country. She shouldn't blame him or hold a grudge...

Seeing Ningning like this made me realize that everything my son did was worthwhile.

Suddenly relieved, Huang Shufen's eyes welled up with tears, but a smile also appeared. "Ningning, try Grandma's cooking later!"

"Okay, I'm really hungry after sitting in the car all morning."

"Where did you go after driving all morning?"

"Luohu Township..."

They chatted casually, the atmosphere between the old man and the young woman was indescribably warm.

After everything was tidied up and put away, the two of them walked out of the kitchen hand in hand.

Grandpa Qu, whom we didn't have a chance to meet last time, has already struggled to get out of bed and slowly made his way out of the main room with the help of his grandson.

"Hello, Grandpa Qu."

"Okay, okay, Ning girl, you're good too, that's great!"

Having spent most of his time lying in a hospital bed, Qu Feng's face was sickly pale, and his body was extremely weak and emaciated.

Seeing him like this unexpectedly reminded her of her grandfather after his serious illness, and her nose suddenly stung with tears. Su Ning subconsciously stepped forward and steadily supported him.

"Ning Ning?"

"It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of my grandfather."

Seeing her reddened eyes and nose, Qu Feng's cloudy eyes softened with a warm light, and he patted her hand that was supporting him with great affection.

"How proud your grandfather must be to have such an outstanding and enviable granddaughter!"

"Pfft~"

It should proudly hold its head high, like the invincible fighting rooster in the yard. Remembering Grandpa Fu's joking remark, her sadness vanished instantly, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Seeing that she wasn't afraid or disgusted by her husband's strange appearance, and even seemed to be having a pleasant conversation with him, Huang Shufen felt relieved. "Old Qu, you and Hui'er keep Ningning company and chat for a while. I'll go make lunch for you."

"Alright, go ahead, old woman."

"Ningning, sit down, sit down quickly. Don't follow me. I don't need your help. Grandma is used to doing these chores and she'll be quick on it. Okay, be good!"

"Sister Ning, please sit down."

The quick-witted Xiao Qu quickly moved a bamboo chair behind her and then happily went to fetch another one for her grandfather.

Su Ning and the grandmother and grandson chatted casually in the yard.

When she said she wanted to go to a junkyard or flea market to look for carved items.

He coughed softly to ease the tightness in his chest and the itchiness in his throat. Old Master Qu raised an eyebrow and asked with great surprise, "Why does the girl want to learn this old craft?"

"When I was little, I found it interesting to watch my mother carve small things, but I never thought of learning from her. Now..."

Smiling, Su Ning brushed a stray strand of hair behind her ear and thought of the pile of jadeite rough stones at the bottom of the spring in her space. "I suddenly became interested and want to give it a try."

"Isn't this just a coincidence? Cough cough~"

Grandpa Qu beckoned to his grandson, "Go back to Grandpa's bedside and take out the wooden box hidden at the very bottom of the cabinet."

"Okay, Grandpa, I'll go get it right away!"

Seeing the confusion in her eyes, Qu Feng smiled and explained, "Our Qu family has always made a living with this skill, but later, in my generation..."

Amidst the chaos of war, the devastation of their homes, and the constant threat of death, how could anyone have the mind to diligently study with their father?

The Qu family's legacy was essentially broken in his hands. As he grew old and looked back, he would stroke the tools passed down from his ancestors again and again, feeling both regret and sorrow in his heart.

Now, this isn't necessarily a bad thing... Perhaps it's truly the destiny that the Qu family and Ning girl are meant to have.

"Is this Grandpa?"

Seeing that Xiao Qu was struggling to carry the wooden box, Su Ning quickly got up and helped him take it.

Upon handling it, I realized that the wooden box was quite heavy. "Here you go, Grandpa Qu."

Coming to his senses, Qu Feng smiled and nodded, took the box with both hands and placed it on his lap. He first carefully stroked the surface of the wooden box with great care before opening it.

Inside were two rolled-up books in a leather bag, and underneath them was a complete set of carving tools.

"This is for you, Ning girl."

"Grandpa Qu, this is too precious. It's a family heirloom of the Qu family. I can't accept it!"

Seeing how much the old woman cherished it, even if it wasn't a family heirloom, she couldn't take it away from someone else.

"To outsiders, this is just a pile of scrap metal, nothing valuable or not."

Qu Feng waved his hand and handed her the two books in his hand. "These are just experiences passed down from our ancestors, along with some diagrams. Don't you want to learn, girl?"

"Your grandpa Qu is not skilled enough to teach you personally, but after reading these, getting you started should not be a problem."

"this…"

"Compared to the lives of us three generations, these things are inanimate objects. If you refuse to accept them, then don't send us anything in the future!"

“How can these be the same? Grandpa Qu, these are two completely different things.”

"I said they're the same, so they're the same! Cough cough~ cough cough~"

With a mix of amusement and exasperation, Su Ning met the old man's stubborn gaze. Afraid that his agitation and persistent coughing would make him feel even worse, she had no choice but to stand up, bend slightly, and extend her hands to take the money.

"Then I'll learn from them first, and return them to you once I've mastered the basics. What if Xiao Qu becomes interested in carving when he grows up?"

Before he could even speak, Qu Feng was silenced. He glanced at his grandson, who was staring wide-eyed at the tools in the wooden box with curiosity.

She gently patted the back of his head and took a step back. "Then the books will be as you said. If Hui'er is interested in them later, you can send them to him. You can't refuse this set of tools anymore."

She does need this complete set of tools now. She will find another set or have someone make one later and then return them to the Qu family intact.

Thinking this through, Su Ning decided not to upset the old man any further and readily nodded in agreement, "Thank you, Grandpa Qu."
