Chapter 273: Chapter 48_4However, Li Sanjiang added, we’ll use this money to get through the emergency first, and I’ll mortgage the house for the peach tree planting funds when we get back. Fortunately, everything went smoothly and we didn’t have to stay in the hospital in Shanghai, so aside from some expenses for transportation and accommodation, we didn’t really spend much. Li Sanjiang muttered: "That yellow steamed bun, I really can’t get used to it." Before entering the hospital at noon, the grandfather and grandson had actually each had a bowl of noodles outside the hospital. Grandmaster was complaining about the exorbitant prices in Shanghai while making sure to add an extra portion of meat for Li Zhiyuan. Those yellow steamed buns were courtesy of the breakfast shop owner next to the inn; they weren’t for sale but made for his own family to eat. Both grandson and grandfather weren’t quite used to the millet flour. After eating buns and soy milk, the yellow steamed buns were left over. While sitting on the hospital stairs with nothing else to do, Li Sanjiang took out the yellow steamed bun, took a bite for himself, and then fed Li Zhiyuan. It was sort of like snacking, and also not to waste food. But when the old professor saw this scene, it was unbearably tragic. It was later revealed that the old professor’s hometown was in Northern Shanxi. ... The town bus stopped at the entrance of the village, and Li Sanjiang led Li Zhiyuan off the bus. Both grandfather and grandson breathed a sigh of relief; they were finally home. Li Zhiyuan hadn’t expected that on his first "tour" outing with Grandmaster, he would be completely blind. Still, he tried his best to do things himself, to avoid letting Li Sanjiang get tired. However, as he couldn’t see, he didn’t know that every time Li Sanjiang watched him striving to familiarize and adapt to a blind person’s life, tears would well up in his eyes, growing sadder the more he watched. The more capable Little Yuanhou behaved, the heavier the guilt felt in Li Sanjiang’s heart. He felt that he hadn’t taken good care of the child. Just after transferring the child’s residence registration under his name, the child contracted such an illness, and he started to doubt whether he was some kind of a curse. "Grandmaster, it’s okay, didn’t the doctor say that? In a while, my eyes will get better, and just in time for me to go to school." At the mention of "going to school," Li Sanjiang hesitated, and his tears broke through the dam once again. Still, he was also trying to control his emotions, doing his best to cry without sobbing, not letting the child catch on. seaʀᴄh thё novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Mm, my Little Yuanhou’s eyes will definitely get better, and he’ll definitely go to school, haha." When Li Zhiyuan said he would soon be better on the way to seek medical treatment, Li Sanjiang would scold him, berating him for not understanding the seriousness of eye health and thinking it was a trivial matter. But after they returned from seeking medical treatment, whenever Li Zhiyuan said that again, Li Sanjiang would agree, and he himself would repeatedly say the same. The village roads at home, the fragrance of the fields. Arriving home, coming to the levee. Li Zhiyuan’s hands were soon grasped by another pair of small hands. This time, Li Zhiyuan felt the trembling coming from those hands because Li Sanjiang was standing close by. Clearly, the girl’s aversion to Li Sanjiang had significantly increased. Li Zhiyuan spoke up: "Alii, be sensible, Grandmaster took me to see the doctor." The girl’s trembling stopped; she took it in and held herself back. Li Zhiyuan’s face showed a smile, he was somewhat regretful that he couldn’t see Alii’s face at the moment, but it was okay, there were many memories stored, thanks to Alii changing into different clothes every day. The next moment, the girl wrapped her arms around his neck. Li Zhiyuan reached out and gently patted her head, even though saying those lines right now, with everyone watching, was somewhat embarrassing. The girl swayed slightly, seemingly dissatisfied with the delay of the ritual. Forget it, since he couldn’t see anything right now, what was there to be embarrassed about. "Alii, whatever you want, just tell me, I have money, plenty of money." The girl was satisfied, moved away, and then grabbed Li Zhiyuan’s hand and gently touched her own eyes. This scene, to the onlookers, was incredibly heartwarming – letting a blind person touch their eyes surely means "I am your eyes." "No, let’s not play this..." But Li Zhiyuan was panicked because he knew that Alii intended to play a game with him, like the past Underworld games. He had become blind due to severe overuse, and he dared not engage in any such thing before his eyes recovered, or else, he might end up completely blind. Seeing that Li Zhiyuan disagreed, the girl took the boy’s hand and drew a square, indicating playing chess. "Let’s wait a bit, Alii. I want to take a bath and eat first; we can play together in the afternoon." Most importantly, since Grandmaster immediately took him to the doctor upon returning, he hadn’t had a chance to learn from Run Sheng and Tan Wenbin how things had developed. "Come on, Xiao Yuan, I’ll take you upstairs for a bath." Tan Wenbin offered his hand and lead Li Zhiyuan upstairs. "Brother Binbin, you’re still here?" "Brother Xiao Yuan, what are you saying? If I’m not here, where would I be?" "I thought you went back home." "There is a shortage of hands here. While you were away, I stayed to help tie paper and make deliveries. Let me tell you, my paper-tying skills are top-notch now. The paper figures I made, Aunt Liu has praised them." "Brother Bin, you’re so amazing." "Hehe, Aunt Liu said there’s nothing seriously wrong with your eyes, right?" "Yeah, it’s okay, don’t worry. Tell me more about what happened afterward." "Oh, that night Run Sheng called me, and then I called my dad, who went to the scene. Five bodies were found in the river, besides Zhou Yong and his family, there were also those two—the father and son pair we saw at Cui Cui’s birthday party at her home, the ones who are a case of ’like father, like son’ reversed."
