Chapter 444 Misunderstanding

Li Simin rode his bicycle with Shen Luojia to find the old woman who sold noodles, but they arrived a little early, and the old woman would have to wait a while before she closed up shop.

Shen Luojia wasn't in a hurry at all. She happily moved a small stool to the side and sat down, propping her chin up as she watched her mother-in-law cook and sell noodles.

Li Simin felt that Shen Luojia was a restless person, as active as Xiao Zhouji and Shangshang. She watched her sit still for almost half an hour, patiently watching the old woman repeat an action.

He went and bought a bottle of soda, then handed it to Shen Luojia: "Aren't you in a hurry?"

Shen Luojia didn't stand on ceremony. She took the soda bottle, drank it all in one gulp, and then looked at the old woman with eyes full of joy: "No rush, Grandma looks just like my grandma. My grandma looked just like that too."

"My grandma can also cook noodles, but she only cooks them for me."

After saying that, she handed the empty soda bottle to Li Simin: "My grandma is the best grandma."

Li Simin handed over another handkerchief: "Wipe your hands and mouth."

Shen Luojia obediently took the handkerchief, wiped her face haphazardly, and then looked down at herself: "Do you have a lot of handkerchiefs?"

It felt like the color Li Simin handed her was different every time.

Li Simin nodded and took the opportunity to give her a hygiene lesson: "You should prepare several handkerchiefs and wash them clean every time you get home after using them."

Shen Luojia said "oh" and returned the handkerchief to Li Simin, feeling that this matter had nothing to do with her, since she didn't have a handkerchief anyway.

Seeing her nonchalant attitude, Li Simin smiled helplessly, folded the handkerchief that Shen Luojia had messed up, and put it in his pocket.

The old woman had just finished cooking noodles, and since there were no customers at the moment, she came over and sat down to chat with Li Simin: "Is this child yours? She's a good girl, kind-hearted, sensible, and strong too."

Li Simin smiled and said, "Yes, she's a kind-hearted girl."

The old woman looked at Shen Luojia with affection: "This child, she always tells me that she is not very bright and doesn't understand some things, but I think she is a good child, just like a piece of clean jade, untouched by the world."

As she spoke, she exclaimed, "Good child, this is for the best."

Then, looking at Li Simin, he said, "You must treat her well. When a young couple is getting along, it's easier for you to find someone simple-minded."

Li Simin didn't know how to explain that they weren't in that kind of relationship. In the end, she thought there was no need to explain, so she nodded with a smile.

Shen Luojia suddenly looked up, puzzled, and asked the old woman, "Grandma, what's a young couple?"

The old woman laughed heartily: "It's you and this man, you live together every day and eat together."

Shen Luojia thought about it and realized that she had indeed eaten with Li Simin today and would be staying at Li Simin's house tonight, so they could be considered a couple.

She nodded very seriously and forcefully: "Yes, Grandma, we are a young couple."

Li Simin was taken aback, then smiled wryly; this was even more difficult to explain.

The old woman looked at Shen Luojia with a smile: "So Grandma can see that you two should live a good life and have a chubby baby next year."

Shen Luojia thought of Xiao Zhouji and Shang Shang, and nodded again: "Okay."

Li Simin smiled as he looked at Shen Luojia's serious expression, and couldn't help but laugh again.

When the old woman went to cook noodles again, Shen Luojia rested her chin on her hand and looked at Li Simin: "How were the babies born? Can't you bring one back? You can bring Xiao Zhouji or Shangshang, either way is fine."

Li Simin's smile deepened as he reached out and ruffled her hair: "No, that won't do. Shangshang and Xiao Zhouji are the Zhou family's treasures. You can't take them away. You can only go play with them."

Shen Luojia nodded: "Understood."

Then, she had a new question: "How can I have a baby?"

Li Simin choked, feeling somewhat embarrassed. He didn't know how to explain it to Shen Luojia. Meeting her curious and inquisitive gaze, he vaguely said, "You'll understand later."

Shen Luojia didn't dwell on the issue and turned back to watch the old woman cook noodles.

...

Li Chengzhang had someone investigate Shen Luojia's grandmother's affairs, and the results were obtained in less than a day.

Grandma Shen Luojia passed away three months ago. After cremation, her ashes are still at the funeral home.

Upon receiving the news, Li Chengzhang made a special trip home at noon to tell Shang Shiying and Li Simin the results.

Upon hearing this, Shang Shiying felt a pang of pain in her heart. Looking at Shen Luojia, who was happily eating in the dining room, she gasped, "How dare you? How dare Shen Qingping treat a child like this? Aren't you afraid of retribution?"

She couldn't help but feel sorry for Shen Luojia: "Poor child, how did she end up with such a family?"

Li Chengzhang whispered to Shang Shiying, "Don't act impulsively; it's ultimately their family matter."

Shang Shiying rolled her eyes: "I can't just stand by and watch my child be bullied."

Suddenly remembering what Shen Luojia had said, she exclaimed, "Oh no! If Luojia finds out Grandma's gone, with her temper, she might really dare to kill Shen Qingping's whole family! No, I need to have Si Min keep an eye on that child..."

He has a hands-on personality and never talks nonsense.

Li Simin originally planned to take Shen Luojia to the hospital to see Jiang Zhizhi in the morning, but he went to his office in the morning and came back a little late, so he planned to go after lunch.

Hearing this news now, and seeing the carefree Shen Luojia again, I feel even more heartbroken.

When we sat back down to eat, I put a piece of shredded meat on Shen Luojia's plate and said, "How about we go to the hospital later, and then go shopping?"

Shen Luojia had no objection: "Okay, what do we need to go to the hospital for?"

Li Simin, worried that she might be scared and not go, explained gently, "Zhizhi wants to give you a check-up. Are you afraid of having your blood drawn?"

Shen Luojia sat up straight immediately: "I'm not afraid, but Grandma said we can't let people draw blood."

Li Simin smiled and reassured him, "Drawing too much blood won't work, we'll just draw a little bit to check if there are any germs in your body."

Fearing that Chen Luojia might not know what germs are, she explained it carefully: "It's to see if there are any bad things in your body that will affect your health. If they affect your health, you'll feel unwell, and then you won't be able to eat many delicious foods."

Shen Luojia immediately nodded: "Go."

Li Simin smiled and put some more shredded meat on her plate: "Good girl, we'll have lunch and take a nap before we set off."

Shen Luojia thought for a moment: "Take Xiao Zhouji and Shangshang with you."

She was still worried about Shangshang and Xiao Zhouji, fearing they wouldn't be able to eat good food in the future.

Li Simin understood what she meant and smiled, "Zhizhi will give Xiao Zhou and Shang Shang regular check-ups. They are very healthy and there are no problems."

Shen Luojia had no more ideas, happily ate her meal, and then waited to go to the hospital for a check-up together.

After a short lunch break, Li Simin took Shen Luojia to the hospital by bicycle.

Shen Luojia sat leisurely in the back seat, eating an apple in her hand.

As I was leaving the gate, I ran into Sun the loudspeaker from the courtyard.

Sun Dalaba glanced at him and greeted Li Simin, "Oh... Simin, you're out with your girlfriend?"

Before Li Simin could speak, Shen Luojia corrected her, "It's not a trip, it's a trip to the hospital!"
