Chapter 1776: Arrangements to Return Home 7
Deng Hongling’s tears flowed like a fountain as she choked up, "I really don’t know how to thank you."
Ever since Feng Qingxue crossed into this world, she had helped countless people like fish swimming across the river. If she had been motivated by thoughts of future rewards from the start, she wouldn’t have been so carefree in lending a hand.
She helped people because they were pitiful and she had the ability and willingness to assist them through difficult times.
If she couldn’t even care for herself, she certainly wouldn’t meddle in others’ affairs.
Deng Hongling’s gratitude was as gentle as a breeze to her, something she was accustomed to. "Let’s not talk about this anymore, I should go."
Putting away the syringe and the clean thermos Deng Hongling had washed, Feng Qingxue strapped on her basket. As she stepped out the door, she pushed Deng Hongling back in, "It’s cold outside, no need to see me off. I’m also afraid of being seen."
Deng Hongling listened and could only watch her silhouette disappear from her sight.
Returning indoors, Deng Hongling picked up the lunch box containing lamb soup, and was astonished to find a stack of tickets and scattered banknotes beneath the box. To her surprise, there were nearly a hundred jin of grain tickets and over thirty dollars, along with some industrial coupons, sugar tickets, and cloth tickets. Inside the muslin wrapping the steamed buns was also a can of meat paste and two packs of walnut crisps.
"Xiaowo, we’ve met a good person." Deng Hongling’s voice quivered, tears flowing more vigorously, "I must remember this deed carefully, so when your father returns, we can repay this doctor. We cannot gratefully accept kindness without thinking of repayment. Unfortunately, we didn’t get the doctor’s name and address."
Deng Wu glanced curiously, swallowing, "Will Dad really come back? I’ve never seen him."
Deng Hongling fed him a few sips of lamb soup and picked out the well-cooked lamb, putting it in his mouth, solemnly saying, "It’s okay if you haven’t seen him, but he will definitely come back. Just like the doctor said, everything will get better."
