”Old grandpa, why don't you follow my big brother to the medicine store for a look? There's not much silver that can be spent here.” Mo Xiaoxia felt that the two of them were very pitiful.
”Grandfather, since you are so ill, why don't you go see a doctor? I will definitely pay back the money spent by this big brother of mine when I grow up.” Zhuo Er advised with red eyes.
Zhuo Er has to be obedient here. After grandfather finishes looking at the doctor, he will come over. ” The old man patted Zhuo Er's head and said.
”Okay, grandpa will obediently stay here. Quickly go.” Zhuo Er said obediently.
Mo Linyu supported the old man to go see a doctor, and now that the number of customers in the shop had increased, Mo Xiaoyan brought Zhuo Er to an empty room at the back of the courtyard, and let him rest on the bed.
After seeing the doctor, Mo Linyu returned to the shop and brought the medicine to the kitchen. Liu Yuemei then ran out to take the medicine outside and fry it for the old man.
At noon, the Lady Li was afraid that Zhuo Er would be hungry, so she took a secret roasted chicken into the house. Right now the old man was sitting there drinking the medicine, while Zhuo Er sat by the side and watched.
”Zhuo Er, you're hungry, right? This is a roast chicken for you and your grandfather. Lady Li walked over and placed the secret roasted chicken on the table.
”Thank you, Aunt.” Zhuo Er said in a clear voice.
”Hur hur, what's there to thank? Then aunty will go out and busy herself. If you and your grandpa are hungry, eat.” The Lady Li laughed.
The old man was really grateful towards Mo Xiaoyan's family. He never thought that he would meet such a good family, otherwise, it might not be long before he and Zhuo Er would starve to death.
Zhuo Er looked at the roasted chicken on the table. Just smelling that smell had already made him swallow his saliva, but his grandfather didn't eat it, so it was impossible for him to eat it first. He thought that his grandfather was sick, so this roasted chicken must be left for his grandfather to eat to nourish his body.
”Zhuo Er, if you want to eat it, eat it.” The old man ripped off a chicken leg and handed it over to Zhuo Er.
”Grandfather, I, Zhuo Er won't eat it. Please eat it. Zhuo Er had always been an obedient and sensible child.
”Hehe, a silly child will only recover faster if they drink medicine when they are sick. Then grandpa will eat with you.” The old man said with a smile.
”Mm, then eat more, grandpa.” Zhuo Er took the chicken drumstick from the old man's hands.
The old man casually picked up a piece of chicken and started eating, Zhuo Er saw that his grandfather had started to eat too, so he took the chicken leg and started to eat as well, the taste of the roasted chicken was too good, Zhuo Er was not willing to finish it so quickly, but started to eat it slowly.
When the afternoon shop was almost done, Lady Li and Mo Xiaoyan started to prepare porridge. Outside, Mo Linyu and Wang Dacheng had built a shed and were waiting for the porridge to be finished before carrying it out.
After making the porridge, the few of them brought it out. Mo Xiaoyan shouted loudly: ”Today, our shop is filling up with porridge, people who came to the capital from other places, I know that you all escaped here. Many of you do not even have enough to eat a full meal, and can still come here to drink a bowl of porridge.
Upon hearing this, many people who were begging on the street ran over. Many of them had bowls, but some of them didn't even have bowls, so they had no choice but to give those people who didn't have bowls a steamed bun.
Not long after, the two big pots of porridge were completely filled, Mo Xiaoyan was still surprised, she did not expect there to be so many refugees.
