Chapter 994: What Wonderful Children, Why Aren't They the Liu Family?

Qiu Shaofeng was lucky; when he reached the backyard, the fire had not yet been extinguished.

He handed the person a cigarette, and the person readily did him a favor.

Carrying the heated meal into the ward: "Xia Qiu, eat while it's hot."

Remembering something: "By the way, has the milk come in yet?"

Xia Qiu shook her head and said: "Not yet, but I do feel quite full."

Hearing her words, Qiu Mu said: "That's good, that's good. After you eat this hot meal, Junjun's rations are sure to arrive."

Xia Qiu, a new mother, felt a bit embarrassed.

Taking the lunchbox Qiu Shaofeng handed her, she hurriedly began to eat, wanting the milk to come down sooner.

Qiu Mu, who was eating while teasing the child, suddenly looked up at Qiu Shaofeng: "Your great-grandmother is doing well, right?"

Qiu Shaofeng nodded lightly: "Mm. Upon learning that Xia Qiu had given birth to a son, she was so happy she shed tears of joy."

Hearing this, Qiu Mu glared at her eldest son. She naturally knew why Grandmother had tears; she had seen the family's flourishing descendants. After all, Grandmother had lost her husband long ago and had only one son under her knees, yet now the Qiu family was thriving and prosperous. That was why she was happy.

Looking up at her eldest son: "Tomorrow morning, go back and borrow a flatbed cart from the team to bring your wife and son over. We're not in a rush; getting back before noon is fine. If we leave too early, the weather is too cold, and I fear your wife and son won't be able to withstand it."

Qiu Shaofeng nodded: "I understand. At that time, I'll have Qiu Shaomei come with me."

After speaking, he ran off to see his son: "Son."

Just as the few of them were chatting intermittently, Liu Laoqi arrived at the ward door: "Yo, eating?"

Qiu Mu was nearly finished eating. Seeing the person approach, she quickly stood up to greet him while shoving the remaining few bites in her bowl into her mouth: "Seventh Grandfather Liu, come in and sit quickly."

Liu Laoqi waved his hand: "I won't come in. Keep this brown sugar safe; brew it for Xia Qiu to drink later."

Xia Qiu was moved. After all, they had severed ties with the Liu family and had recognized the Xiao family, yet Seventh Grandfather had still come specially to deliver brown sugar to her: "Seventh Grandfather, thank you. You've spent money on us."

Seeing Xia Qiu's expression, Liu Laoqi could roughly guess what she was thinking: "Even if you are not of Liu blood, you still called me Seventh Grandfather for so many years. What, now that you've recognized your biological grandfather's family, you don't recognize me as your grandfather anymore?"

Xia Qiu quickly waved her hands: "Seventh Grandfather, I didn't mean that. You will always be my Seventh Grandfather."

Seeing her eyes redden with urgency, Liu Laoqi dared not say any more: "Alright, Grandfather knows you are all good people. This is Grandfather's intention; just accept it peacefully."

Qiu Shaofeng stepped forward to take it: "Thank you, Seventh Grandfather."

Having delivered his gift, Liu Laoqi waved his hand: "I won't disturb you; I must return to guard the gatehouse."

Saying this, he waved his hands, turned around, and walked away with his hands behind his back.

As Liu Laoqi walked away, he muttered: "What a wonderful family, what wonderful children. How could they not be Liu family members? What a pity."

Shan Liang, who had previously changed his name to Xiao Changsheng in the village, had taken care of him no end. After all, his own son lived too far from home; even if he had the intention, he lacked the strength.

The year he first returned to the village, the firewood needed for winter was all chopped by this distant nephew. Therefore, even though they were not Liu family members, they were the juniors Liu Laoqi had acknowledged.

Since his own granddaughter had given birth, he naturally had to bring some gifts to express his good intentions.

In the ward, Qiu Mu watched Liu Laoqi's receding figure: "In the future, you must show them respect. Did you hear me?"
