Chapter 458 I can only use the remaining half of my life to repay you

But seeing the grateful look on Huang Laogen's face, he knew that if he didn't eat the food he prepared, he would be betraying his feelings.

So she nodded: "Thank you very much, uncle! I happen to be a little hungry."

Seeing that she didn't dislike her, Huang Laogen was very happy and quickly invited people into the house.

Qiao Ran took down the bag of rice and the bunch of medicine bags from the horse. Huang Laogen stretched out his hand to help, but Qiao Ran didn't let him go:

"Uncle, your legs are just in shape and your body has not yet recovered. Don't lift heavy objects yet. It will take at least two months before you can do heavy work. I can do these things. I am strong."

Huang Laogen watched helplessly as this young man, who looked thin and frail, lifted the bag of more than a hundred kilograms of grain with one hand, and held a large bunch of medicine bags in the other hand. , go directly to the house.

This strength was so powerful that Huang Laogen and several old people who followed him were dumbfounded.

A bag of grain that big, if it was rice with husks ground, would weigh at least a dozen buckets, totaling about 150 kilograms.

A grown man would have to use all his strength to carry it on his shoulders, but this young man actually lifted it up with only one hand.

The shocked Huang Laogen didn't come to his senses until Qiao Ran was about to enter the main room and ran over quickly.

Qiao Ran put the rice bag on the ground and the medicine bag on the table.

"Uncle, you eat this bag of rice first. You can boil one bag of these medicines twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. You can drink them here for a month."

"Okay! Okay! Thank you, Mr. Qiao! I, I really don't know how to thank you..."

Uncle Huang was moved and wiped his tears.

Qiao Ran smiled and said: "Uncle, you don't have to be like this. I also see that you have skills, and it's only good for you to want you to work for me."

"Thank you for your concern, Young Master! I will definitely take good care of myself as soon as possible, work well for Young Master in the future, and never let down what Young Master has done for me."

Uncle Huang expressed his stance excitedly.

Qiao Ran just smiled and nodded.

No amount of words is as good as actual actions. Although she thinks that Uncle Huang looks honest and honest, he should not break his promise, but until the last moment, who knows what will happen?

But anyway, there is endless food in my own space, so it might as well be a relief to the poor people.

Huang Laogen took out the small jar of borrowed honey, carefully scooped a full spoonful into the coarse porcelain bowl, paused, and scooped out another half spoonful, and then used the cold water that had been dried long ago. Pour the boiling water into a bowl, mix it up, and bring it to Qiao Ran.

"Mr. Qiao, this is honey water. Drink it to quench your thirst! Don't worry, I have washed this bowl several times with plant ash and water. It is definitely not dirty!"

Qiao Ran took the bowl and looked at the slightly yellowish warm water, knowing that a lot of honey must have been added to it.

Sure enough, as soon as she took it into her mouth, the sweet and cloying taste made her pause.

Seeing Huang Laogen still standing nearby looking at her expectantly, she had no choice but to drink the bowl of honey water that was almost half honey and half water.

Seeing that she had finished drinking, Huang Laogen took the empty bowl and happily went to the kitchen to get the bowl of custard and a few cooked eggs that were simmering in the pot.

"Mr. Qiao, this custard and eggs are still hot. Eat them while they're hot! If you can't finish the eggs, you can take them with you to eat on the road."

Qiao Ran took the bowl of steamed egg custard that was a little old and contained nothing except a few drops of oil and perhaps some salt. She obviously had no appetite, but she still took a spoon and ate it.

In Huang Laogen's opinion, Mr. Qiao must be hungry, and he likes the egg custard he made, so he eats it so well.

Thinking about it, when the old woman was alive, she liked to eat the egg custard she made. Although she could only eat it a few times a year, she was very satisfied.

It seems that I am pretty good at making egg custard. If I have the opportunity, I can make it a few more times for Mr. Qiao to eat.

I don't know that Qiao Ran just thinks that this egg custard is too old and dull compared to what her mother makes.

Therefore, she stopped savoring the food carefully and ate it in big gulps. She rushed home early to eat the delicious food cooked by her mother.

After finishing the custard, there were four eggs left. Qiao Ran ate two of them under Huang Laogen's eager eyes, but refused to eat the remaining two.

She had seen clearly the inside and outside of Huang Laogen's house in the morning. She didn't raise any chickens at all, so it could be seen that these eggs must have been borrowed from the villagers.

She excused herself that she was full, rubbed her belly and stood up: "Uncle, it's getting late, I have to hurry up, otherwise my family will be worried if I don't get home before it gets dark."

Huang Laogen picked up the two hard-boiled eggs and was about to stuff them into her arms: "Then take these two hard-boiled eggs with you and eat them when you're hungry on the way. They've all been boiled. If you don't eat them, it will be wasted."

Qiao Ran dodged and said, "Uncle, just keep it for yourself. I'm really full! And you can't eat too many eggs in one day. Eating too much will cause indigestion. Too much is not enough."

"Ah, there is still this matter?"

Huang Laogen was shocked.

Eggs are such rare treasures! If you let him eat, he can eat ten of them a day.

But I didn’t expect that I can’t eat more eggs. Is it because eggs are too nutritious?

"Then, take it home and feed it to your family! Don't waste it."

Huang Laogen still insisted on letting Qiao Ran bring the two eggs. He was reluctant to eat these rare things. If Mr. Qiao didn't want them, wouldn't it be a waste?

Qiao Ran waved her hand and refused: "Uncle, I have a lot of eggs at home and I can't finish them all. You can save these eggs to eat at night and don't waste them. Okay, it's getting late, I have to get on my way quickly."

With that said, she walked out the door.

Huang Laogen had tied up the two bags of silkworm cocoons and placed them at the door of the yard.

When Huang Laogen saw that he was leaving, he quickly ran forward, picked up a bag of silkworm cocoons, and sent him to the door.

Qiao Ran got on the horse and told Huang Laogen to be careful not to carry heavy objects or touch cold things in the past few months, to take medicine on time, and to come to him after autumn, and then whipped the horse. After leaving the village, we headed towards the official road.

Huang Laogen watched his benefactor leave with tears in his eyes until his figure disappeared into the distance and could no longer be seen.

"Lao Gen, what kind of bad luck did you have? How did you meet such a good person?"

Several old people also stood behind Huang Laogen, watching the figure of the man and the horse disappear, and said with envy.

"Yeah, what kind of bad luck did I have? How could someone be so kind to me?"

Huang Laogen also murmured.

Then he thought of something and said, "Maybe it's my old lady and my Sheng'er who have spirits in the sky and can't bear to see me miserable and helpless, so they are protecting me!"

He exchanged greetings with a few elderly people and returned home alone.

Just when I was putting away the custard bowl on the table, I looked down and saw that on the bench where Mr. Qiao was sitting just now, there was actually a white gold ingot and five taels of silver ingots!

"Benefactor, I can only use the remaining half of my life to repay your great kindness!"

Huang Laogen held the heavy silver ingot in his hand, looked out the door, and murmured an oath.
