Sister Sun's words struck a chord with Shen Fenghua, and she felt slightly relieved. "Thank you, Sister Sun."

"Have a meal!"

The children all liked this straightforward and cheerful aunt. With the help of this aunt and Shen Fenghua, the relationship between the grandmother and the two children became much closer. Now, the two of them gather around the hospital bed, calling her "Great-Grandma" happily!

Sister Sun looked at it and felt it was just right. How should I put it?

Even now, she still feels it's a bit unreal. The stubborn young man who used to be all alone and kept everyone at arm's length has found someone he loves, and now the whole family is together, young and old.

That warm, cozy feeling.

Sister Sun felt happy just thinking about it.

Seeing the lively atmosphere in the ward, Sister Sun pulled Shen Fenghua outside, calling out, "Fenghua!"

Sister Sun smiled and took Shen Fenghua's hand. "What a good child. Old Xu has told me about your family's situation. Don't worry, it's not a difficult matter. I'll definitely handle it properly for you."

"Don't be anxious. Take good care of the children and the elderly. Those two little minions aren't even enough for Xiao Qi to handle by herself."

Shen Fenghua knew that Sister Sun was trying to reassure her. "Thank you so much, Sister Sun. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know what to do. Just thinking about it makes me anxious. Eating and drinking are such a dilemma. I'm new here and this happened out of the blue."

Seeing Shen Fenghua's anxious expression, Sister Sun couldn't help but sigh in her heart. With such a cute appearance, let alone that brat Xiao Qi, she would definitely cherish him even more if he were in her hands.

Oh my, how lovely!

Sister Sun also had her own things to do, so she left around 3 or 4 pm, and then rushed over again at 6 pm to move a lot of things.

I also cooked plain porridge for my grandmother and brought some pickled vegetables.

It was said to be for Grandma alone, but judging from the amount, it was clearly for the whole family of four.

In hot weather, if you don't finish your white porridge in one meal, it will definitely go to waste for the next meal.

"Eat and drink as you please. Xiao Qi and my husband Zheng probably have something to discuss, so they might be back a little late."

Shen Fenghua didn't know how to thank her, so she could only keep this kindness in her heart and repay it slowly in the future.

At eight o'clock, Qi Ye returned, his eyes bright and with a hint of alcohol in them. Seeing the child sleeping soundly with his grandmother, he called Shen Fenghua to the door.

Shen Fenghua: "You've been drinking? Why are you only coming back now? I was so worried about you."

"What are you worried about? Sister Sun has already come by, hasn't she?" Qi Ye smiled and patted Shen Fenghua's hair.

Shen Fenghua was shocked and covered her head, "What are you doing!"

She's been so busy today that she hasn't had a chance to wash her hair or take a shower. In this sweltering heat, she thinks her hair must be rotting.

"Nothing much, thank you for your hard work."

“It’s not hard work,” Shen Fenghua said, lowering her head. “If you hadn’t asked Sister Sun to come and help me out today, I really wouldn’t know what to do on my own.”

“I’m here for you,” Qi Ye said softly, hugging Shen Fenghua. “I’ll take the child to Sister Sun’s house now.”

Shen Fenghua stopped her, saying, "That would be too much trouble. The child can't sleep here, so I'll take the letter of introduction to the guesthouse and get a room. You can take the child to rest, and I'll stay here and look after Grandma."

“No,” Qi Ye explained carefully, “We’re going back to the countryside tomorrow, and it’s not convenient to take the child with us. Listen to me, send the child to Sister Sun’s house and ask her to look after the child for the day. If all goes well, we can leave this afternoon.”

"Huh?" Shen Fenghua hesitated for a moment. "That would be so embarrassing, wouldn't that be causing trouble for them?"

"Sister Sun is even better than my own sister. Besides, I've already told them that if you feel you owe them anything now, we can just have a separate table for Sister Sun's family when we get married!"

Goodness, this is getting more and more absurd.

"Then I'll listen to you."

Looking at the confident Qi Ye, Shen Fenghua suddenly wanted to find a shoulder to lean on.

"Then I'll go and bring the child out."

The children, who were outside, were all light sleepers. As soon as they opened their eyes and saw Qi Ye, they smiled and said, "Dad, you're back."

"Yes, I'm back," she said, picking the two children up from the bed. "Did you like the auntie who came today?"

"I love it! Auntie gave me some delicious peach shortbread and even stewed chicken for Great-Grandma. Dad, don't forget that."

Qi Ye chuckled; these two kids were really cunning.

"I won't forget."

After saying that, he pointed to Shen Fenghua outside the door, "Come on, let's go out and find Auntie now."

Once outside, after explaining a few words to the child, Qi Ye took the child over. Watching the backs of the one adult and two children, Shen Fenghua rubbed her face, washed herself, and returned to the ward.

I fell asleep lying on my grandmother's hospital bed.

Even if you're not feeling well, you still have to sleep. There's an unknown tough battle to fight tomorrow, so you have to make sure you're well-rested.

When Qi Ye returned, travel-worn, Shen Fenghua was already fast asleep.

He lowered his head, looking at Shen Fenghua with unwavering tenderness in his eyes, but when he looked up again, he met his grandmother's gaze.

Qi Ye was stunned. "Grandma."

Grandma smiled at Qi Ye, said nothing, and closed her eyes.

Well, Grandma felt that her granddaughter, who had endured so much hardship in her life, might have finally found someone to rely on.

Good, good! Now, even if her old bones close their eyes and never open them again, she can rest easy when she gets to the underworld.

The next day, Shen Fenghua woke up early.

Grandma also woke up early. She's old and a light sleeper, so as soon as Chen Fenghua moved, Grandma opened her eyes.

Shen Fenghua wanted to greet her, but before she could even utter a word, she started to grimace.

There's no other reason than that this hospital bed is really not a good place to lie down. After sleeping on it, all the bones in your body are stiff, and if you move, they make a cracking sound.

Qi Ye happened to bring back a steaming hot meal. When he saw Shen Fenghua's condition, he laughed. He was quite skilled. He raised his hand and pressed down on Shen Fenghua's body. After two cracking sounds, hey! Shen Fenghua felt much better.

Grandma looked around for a while but didn't see the two children, so she asked, "Where are Pingping and An'an? Aren't you going to call them over to eat with us?"

“It’s been sent to Sister Sun’s,” Shen Fenghua said succinctly, munching on a steaming hot bun. “We have to go to the countryside later, and the kids won’t be able to keep up with all the running around.”

Grandma nodded. "Indeed."

At this point, Shen Fenghua glanced at Qi Ye. She could rest assured, right?

Qi Ye gave Shen Fenghua a reassuring look, "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

"Okay! I believe you!"

After confirming that her grandmother would not have any lasting effects, Shen Fenghua checked out of the hospital room and then left her belongings at the nurses' station.

"Walk!"

Twenty minutes later, looking at the person in front of her, Shen Fenghua was dumbfounded.

She stammered, "Qi Ye, what... what's going on?"
