Chapter 360: Chapter 360 Old Events of the Past

After dinner, everyone chatted for a while, and originally Yuan Jianing had planned to take Luo Qiao and some other friendly folks from the courtyard out for fun tomorrow.

However, Luo Qiao said, "I might not be able to make it tomorrow; I have an appointment with my grandpa and grandma to visit my big brother and second brother. I’ll join you when I get back."

Yuan Jianing said, "They’ve wanted to meet you for a long time. The way you handled yourself last time is well known throughout the courtyard. They’ve been asking when you’ll come back."

Luo Qiao laughed, "They don’t want to spar with me, do they?"

After thinking for a moment, Yuan Jianing said, "The girls probably don’t have the nerve, but some of those boys might."

After chatting about everything under the sun for a while, everyone went their separate ways to wash up and rest for the night.

Luo Qiao closed her door when she returned to her room, entered her space, finished her boxing and yoga routines, and had a bath before tidying herself up and going to the second-floor study. She had roughly read through half of the books there, with medical texts being what she had studied the most.

An acupoint picture was still laid out on the desk. Over the past few days, she had been reviewing these to avoid any mistakes during acupuncture sessions. Fortunately, her memory was excellent, bolstered by the memories of the original owner of her body, she had learned them all by heart.

Today, she wanted to practice writing with a brush. Since acquiring the space, this had become another of her hobbies. There were many writing samples of various styles in the study. Recently, she had been practicing regular and clerical scripts.

In her previous life, she had also taken writing classes, but she gave up after a few years, so she could only say she was capable but not skilled. After discovering these sample writings, she practiced whenever she was free, and as time passed, she grew fond of it.

The next day, mindful of her commitment to her grandparents, Luo Qiao got up early, freshened up, had breakfast, and said goodbye to the Yuan family before leaving the house.

She would have to take a bus to the meeting place and wait for her grandparents. Fortunately, there was a direct bus from her location, so there was no need to transfer, which saved her quite a bit of trouble.

After the journey, Grandpa Luo and Grandma Luo were already waiting for her. The place was closer to where they lived.

Luo Qiao got off the bus and hurried over, "Grandpa, Grandma, am I late? How long have you been waiting?"

Grandma Luo smiled, "You’re not late. We just woke up early this morning and came over after getting ready."

Grandpa Luo said, "Let’s go; I’ve already called ahead."

Luo Qiao asked, "Grandpa, is it far?"

Grandpa Luo shook his head, "Not very far. We moved closer to look after your big brother and second brother. There’s no need to take a bus; a stroll of half an hour or so and we’ll be there."

Luo Qiao knew that the old couple had really put in a lot of effort over the years, "Grandpa, Grandma, you’ve worked hard all these years."

Grandma Luo sighed, "If only they could get better. All the hardship would be worth it. Good children were ruined by your irresponsibly behaved mother."

The elders in the book were only briefly mentioned, and Luo Qiao didn’t know the specifics. So she asked, "Can you tell me about the specific circumstances of Big Brother and Second Brother?"

Grandma Luo looked toward the distant Little White Building, as if lost in memories. After a long while, she began to speak softly about the past events.

It turned out that Big Brother Luo Xuyan and Second Brother Luo Xuyuan had their accident when they were almost three years old. At that time, their mother was still pregnant with the third and fourth brothers, a few months away from giving birth.

Back then, they still lived in the Capital City in an army compound. Grandma Luo had moved to the dependents’ area of the military camp early on to take care of her daughter-in-law. The weather was exceptionally hot on the day of the accident.

Not far from the military camp was a village called Niushan Village, which had suffered from natural disasters. That year the drought was so severe that not even grass grew on the mountains, and the villagers were almost out of food. A decision was made to slaughter the village’s collectively raised flock of over ten sheep.

The village announced this a few days in advance so that military base families could also purchase some if they wanted. The villagers aimed to use the money earned from the sheep sales to buy high-priced grain to save the lives of community members.

In those years, military dependents also had shortages and couldn’t get enough to eat. When people heard that meat was available without ration tickets, everyone wanted to buy some to bring back a taste of meat for their families. Ning Xueling was no exception.

That day, Grandma Luo tried her best to stop her daughter-in-law from joining the commotion, but Ning Xueling seemed hell-bent on going.
