Turning over the mountain beam, his grandmother's house was close in front of him, and An Qiao hurriedly picked up his sister and urged the young man to go back quickly.

The basket full of herbs and snakes was still there, and if it was taken away by passers-by, it would be in vain.

It wasn't until the young man disappeared at the end of the mountain road that An Qiao remembered that not only did he not know what the other party's surname was, but he didn't even say thank you, and he felt indescribable guilt in his heart.

When I arrived at my grandmother's house, my grandfather found out and asked people to inquire about the whereabouts of the young man, but after a few days, he found nothing.

Neighbors all said that no one would let a teenager go into the mountains alone to collect medicine.

"It's really a sin! Who is not a lone seedling baby these days, and I don't know what kind of family is willing to let such a small doll go to the mountains to take that risk!"

Grandpa squatted on the stone ridge by the courtyard dam with an ancestral sweat cigarette pouch inlaid with brass in his mouth, staring at the little granddaughter who was already playing with origami airplanes not far away, shaking his head and sighing.

The old man's words made An Qiao's heart more and more uncomfortable-

Although there are no terrifying beasts such as wolves and tigers and leopards in the mountains today, the mountains are steep and poisonous snakes are infested.

"With that kind of appearance, if you read, it must not be bad, right?" The young man's beautiful clear eyes inexplicably appeared in her mind, she was a little stunned, and her face was slightly hot.

I don't know what's going on, but in the past two days, the handsome face of that young man has been shaking in front of her eyes when she has opened and closed her eyes, which makes her flustered.

was shy, and thought that it was a knot caused by not thanking the other party, so he begged his grandfather to inquire about his whereabouts.

"If you can't find it, you can't find it, that kid has a good heart, and there will be a good reward." ”

Seeing that the baby's granddaughter looked lost and didn't speak, her grandmother came over and sat down on the bamboo chair opposite her, and comforted her.

"Grandma, now family planning advocates only having one, but why did you and your grandfather only give birth to one mother?"

Staring at the old but still delicate face, which was obviously different from the grandmother of an ordinary old lady in the countryside, An Qiao's heart suddenly moved, and he blurted out.

Since ancient times, Chinese people have had more sons and more powers, and many sons and more blessings, and in the countryside, according to the age of grandparents and grandmothers, it can be said that there is no family that is not a group of children.

Since my mother is thin and she is a daughter, it stands to reason that they should not have had a few more children? Not to mention that my grandfather was the village party secretary back then, and the family conditions were not bad, otherwise my mother would not have been able to study all the way to college.

"Ahem, Nana, grandpa bought you a popsicle. Grandpa coughed twice and stood up and beckoned to Anna.

When she heard that she was eating popsicles, Anna was overjoyed, threw down the paper airplane and jumped up and down the old man's path towards the only shop in the village.

An Qiao's eyes flashed. Obviously, the other party heard her question and deliberately avoided it.

"Joe, how can you ask about this?" Grandma looked at her granddaughter with a look of pain on her face.

"Grandma, just tell people—"

Knowing that he had touched the old man's sadness, An Qiao squatted down and leaned his head on the other party's knees, and began to be coquettish.

This question has been lingering in her heart for a long time, and since she asked it today, she must know the answer.

"Well, it's not because of that damn genetic disease—".

"Grandma, do you also have heart disease?" An Qiao was taken aback, looking at the old man with a worried face.

Although she listened to her father's advice and concealed the fact that her mother went to the provincial capital to check her body, and only said that she would go to a meeting to study, the two sisters braved the rain to go back to the countryside alone, which obviously made each other a little uneasy.

However, it is true that my mother was found to have congenital heart disease, but it is clear that my grandmother has always been in good health, and she has never even been in the hospital except for occasional headaches and colds.

"Alas, it may be because I have been doing manual work in the countryside for many years, but my body is quite strong, and although I was also dangerous when I gave birth to her, I did not suffer much sin. Grandma let out a long sigh.

"My aunt said that if you are healthy, this disease will not necessarily attack, and it will only be passed on to women and not to men, why don't you have two more children?

Grandma's words made An Qiao a little confused, but her curiosity became stronger.
