Thanos's biological daughter in period fiction

Qiao Jinfeng must have informed the staff before getting out of the car, so several staff members helped lift the car when the old man was about to get out.

As soon as she got off the bus, Liu Fangmei spotted Jun'an, the eldest son of the village head, and waved to them.

Seeing an elderly man in a wheelchair beside Liu Fangmei, Jun'an rushed over. The old man's imposing presence immediately reminded Jun'an of Xia Jixuan's aura.

"Anzi, this is your Uncle Ji Xuan's former superior. His home is in Shenjia Village, in the Fourth Production Brigade. We need to take him home." He was already calculating what to give him as travel expenses.

After all, it adds some distance and causes trouble for others.

"Okay, Auntie, it's just a short distance, it's nothing." Xia Jun'an took the old man's wheelchair and helped lift him onto the oxcart.

Liu Fangmei quickly took a quilt from her backpack and put it on the car floor. There was already a thick layer of straw on the floor. However, the old man's legs were not good, and it was snowing heavily outside, so she needed to add another quilt to keep his legs warm.

Ever since her little girl met Grandpa Shen, she had mentioned more than once that the old man was a "golden thigh" (a powerful, influential figure). Although she didn't know exactly what her little girl meant by "golden thigh," she could vaguely guess the general idea.

She knew that the old man was only thinking of her, after all, he was her husband's former superior, and it was only right that he should take care of him since he was old and there was no one else at home to look after him.

To get to Shenjia Village in the Fourth Brigade, one needs to pass through their village entrance, so when they arrived, Liu Fangmei had Xia Jun'an put his youngest son and daughter down. They didn't leave their luggage behind; after all, it was already quite an achievement for the two children to walk home in such heavy snow. They could bring the luggage home later when they returned.

Xia Jun'an was young and had never been out to play, so he spent the rest of the journey asking about things in the capital with great curiosity, except when he was rushing to catch the train.

Stone got along well with him, so he answered all his questions without reservation.

Moreover, he was still in a state of excitement and hadn't quite come to his senses yet, so he was happy to share his experiences in the capital with his friends.

Xia Jun'an listened with rapt attention, and longed to go to Beijing to see the raising of the national flag. He also wanted to visit the Forbidden City, even if the city walls were damaged, he still wanted to see that ancient city with its long history.

"You wouldn't believe it, if you want to watch the flag-raising ceremony, you have to set off at two or three in the morning. You'll be shivering from the cold all the way there, but when you see the national flag rising slowly in the morning sun, you'll feel that all the hardship was worth it." Watching the flag-raising ceremony is the most exciting time for Shi Tou and his brothers. He saw many people shed tears of emotion at the time.

"I really want to go too, Shi Tou. How much did your train tickets cost this time? Tell me when you go, and I'll try to save up by doing odd jobs so I can go to Beijing before I turn 18." Xia Jun'an was also short of money; he never received more than one yuan in New Year's money each year.

In order to go to Beijing to watch the flag-raising ceremony, he plans to find odd jobs in the city when there is no work to be done in the fields.

He's only 14 years old now, and he'll be 15 in a few months. He still has three years left. If he works hard, he should be able to save a lot.

A man entering the village immediately attracted the attention of the villagers. When the village chief saw Old Master Shen, he realized that he had completely forgotten that the old man was coming home today and hadn't even sent a car to pick him up.

In this heavy snow, if something were to happen to the old man because of his negligence, they would be on the list.

"Oh dear, Uncle Shen, I'm so sorry. I received a telegram from Commander Qiao a few days ago, and I was so careless that I forgot the time you would arrive..." Captain Shen hurriedly ran over to the oxcart, bowing and apologizing repeatedly.

He had genuinely forgotten about it. Things had been going on in the village these past few days, and he'd been so preoccupied with those matters that he'd completely forgotten about it.

Looking at the young man driving the cart, one could immediately tell that he was the son of Captain Xia of the First Production Brigade.

He didn't recognize the other boy or the woman, but he still greeted them politely.

"It's alright. It's normal for you to be busy managing such a big village all by yourself. Someone brought it back to me, didn't they? You don't need to worry." Shen Zhili knew that his nephew was always busy and overwhelmed, managing such a large village by himself, and that he was the one who handled all sorts of trivial matters.

It would be strange if he wasn't busy. He didn't mean to bother him, but when no one answered, he actually felt a little empty inside.

He felt that as he got older, he preferred more lively atmospheres.

The brigade leader followed their oxcart all the way to Old Master Shen's house. He took out a key from his pocket, opened the door, and removed the threshold board to allow the oxcart to enter the yard directly.

The gate to Uncle Shen's courtyard was specially made for him because he had difficulty walking, so it would be convenient for his wheelchair to enter and exit, and also for the oxcart to pick him up and drop him off.

After Captain Shen entered the room, he quickly went to heat the kang (a heated brick bed) for the old man and then asked for hot water from the stove.

Liu Fangmei, Xia Jun'an, and Shi Tou helped the old man out of the car and settled him in a wheelchair. After obtaining the old man's consent, Liu Fangmei went into the house and cleaned it up.

It's probably because we don't usually hire someone to clean, so it wasn't very dirty. We just tidied up the things that were covered and swept the floor.

The captain had already boiled water, filled three kettles, and taken a few cups, pouring some hot water for the people who had just entered.

The brigade leader's wife arrived late, and seeing the bustling scene inside, she quickly stepped in to help.

"Sister, I'm sorry I'm late. You're a guest, please sit down. I'll take care of the cleaning." The team leader's wife had been extremely busy with the recent addition of a new member to her family. Hearing that Uncle Shen was back, she couldn't spare the time to come and help.

"Hello, sister-in-law, no need, no need, please sit down. I've already finished here..." Liu Fangmei didn't give up the broom and quickly swept the remaining part of the floor. After sweeping it clean, she went out into the corridor, dusted herself off, clapped her hands, and then went inside to sit down.

The two little brats who had returned home had already gone back into the space. Seeing them go back to their room to shower and change clothes, she was no longer in a hurry.
