Chapter 109 The house was a complete mess

After giving her some instructions, Wu Lifang politely declined the invitation to drive her home and hailed a taxi at the door.

Two years ago, Feng Jingling's car was parked in front of her house and the neighbors talked about it for more than a month. If it had been the Liu family's car, they would have been talking about it for half a year!

Pushing open the gate, you are greeted only by two large, fat cats with shiny fur and weighing over 10 pounds each.

Little Black tilted its head, its round eyes staring at the boy with a puzzled look... Finally, it stretched out its cat paw and tentatively started to paw at the cane in its hand.

Before its owner could even reprimand it, the sensible Little White gave its round head a hard scratch, followed by a throat lock fight. Clearly, Little Black, being the younger brother, was powerless to resist and didn't even have the courage to raise its claws in retaliation.

Yunxia shook her head helplessly, bent down and forcefully separated the two cats, then hugged the little black cat, whose eyes were slightly wet and whose expression was aggrieved, and gave it a good rub.

Little White flicked its tail tip, rolled its eyes at her, and then rubbed its head against Wu Lifang's ankle.

"Little Black and Little White are really intelligent!"

"Hehe!"

The boy, leaning on his cane, opened the door and saw the mess in the room. His brows furrowed so deeply they could trap a mosquito. He knew then that he shouldn't have any illusions about the man surnamed Feng.

"Ugh, it stinks! Big brother, have you not taken out the trash for days?" the girl said, covering her mouth and nose with disgust.

Takeout boxes, plastic bags, fruit pits, and rotten watermelon rinds were scattered haphazardly across the table. Plop, plop, pink liquid dripped from the edge of the table onto the floor.

"Ah Chao, Xia Xia, you two go back to the house and rest first, I'll clean up." After saying that, he picked up a dry, stiff rag, carried a plastic basin, and went to the yard to fetch water.

The two people inside the room exchanged a glance, their eyes narrowing, and they quickly moved to the same side room!

Taking advantage of her nimble legs, Yunxia jumped directly onto the bed, spread her arms out in a "T" shape, and took the high ground.

"I'm a patient, you have to move aside!"

"No, this is my room."

A year ago, Aunt Wu felt that Yunxia had grown up, so she specially tidied up the side room, bought some furniture, and hired someone to renovate it. After airing it out for a few months, Yunxia had her own room.

With the living room in this state, who knows what Feng has done to the side bedroom? Ever since I recognized her as my godmother, except for holidays when I go back to Feng's house, I've spent all my time at Jiang's house.

Their own son often lives with other people's families, and his parents not only don't care, but they also wholeheartedly support it. They feel at ease knowing that someone is raising their child for them and also providing one-on-one tutoring from the top student in the grade. They can go far away to do business without any worries.

"Heh heh! I'm a patient!"

He threw away his crutches, hopped to the bedside on one leg, curled up, closed his eyes, and began to doze off.

After a long while, the girl turned her head, her clear eyes blinking as she looked at the boy. Finally, she quietly stepped forward, reached out and poked his cheek. Seeing that he didn't react, she sighed regretfully, got up and went to the master bedroom to rest.

Not long after he left, the boy suddenly opened his eyes, a smile on his lips, and wriggled his body to find a comfortable position for a perfect afternoon nap.

In the evening, Feng Jingling and An'an returned with takeout bags. Before they even reached the door, they could smell the enticing aroma of food.

"Oh, it smells so good, it's comparable to what Little Butterfly cooks."

Jiang An raised his head, his nose twitching slightly as he sniffed around. Suddenly, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed excitedly, "It's coming from home!"

She broke free from someone's hand, took off running, pushed open the courtyard gate, and ran straight to the kitchen. "Sister Xiaxia, it really is you!"

Yunxia, ​​who was serving shredded potatoes, turned to look at the door and said with a smile, "Yes, hurry up and wash your hands. Dinner will be served soon. Your stomach won't be able to handle eating out all the time!"

"Okay!"

Although the food outside was delicious, it always felt like it lacked the taste of home. When he caught sight of Xiaxia coming back, he was very happy and ran to the messy side bedroom, but he couldn't find his older brother in the pile of clothes.

"Mom, didn't my brother come back with you?"

"Oh, he's in Xiaxia's room!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jiang'an pulled Feng Jingling and ran to another room.

The boy, leaning against the edge of the bed, was reading a book when he glanced at the two of them out of the corner of his eye and said quietly, "Oh, you two slovenly devils, finally decided to go home?"

The husky, who had planned to do a thorough cleaning in a few days, awkwardly touched its nose. "Sigh, with all three of you gone and the supermarket so busy, I don't have time to clean right now. Oh, by the way, how did the surgery go?"

Good heavens, let's quickly change the subject. I'll go back to my side bedroom and tidy it up in a bit, and I promise I'll restore it to its original state.

"It's alright. The doctor said that as long as I persist with the rehabilitation training, I can recover normal mobility within six months."

“Great, An’an, you talk to your brother, I’ll go help in the kitchen.”

Jiang Chao lowered his eyes, watching the boy's running figure. When he heard the loud crashing sound from next door, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He thought to himself that there was still some hope to salvage the boy's intelligence.

With a slight twitch of her fingers, she summoned her younger brother, who had grown considerably taller, and pinched his cheeks several times. "Hmph, you've gained quite a bit of weight in just over half a month. Looks like... you've been eating a lot of junk food!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang An shook her head vigorously, clung to the edge of the bed, stared intently at his right leg, and asked in a soft, sweet voice, "Brother, does the surgery hurt?"

"They used anesthesia, so it didn't hurt at all."

He really wanted to climb into bed and talk to his brother, but he hadn't showered for three days and hadn't changed his clothes for five days, and he was afraid of soiling the fragrant mattress, so he could only stand by the bed.

"Hey, dinner's ready, come out and eat!"

Jiang Chao closed his book, got out of bed, and, leaning on his cane, walked with An'an into the living room. After washing their hands, they sat down at the table.

Before long, the food was all set out, but the gluttonous husky still hadn't come out. Yunxia walked to the door of the side bedroom and shouted loudly, "Big brother, come out and eat!"

The only response she received was the clattering sound of things being packed. She raised an eyebrow, about to push the door open to see what he was doing, but he stopped her at the door.

"Little butterfly, we're all grown up now, so we need to be mindful of our privacy. It's best if girls don't go into a man's bedroom."

As Yunxia tiptoed to peek, the boy quickly blocked her way. Suddenly, he smelled a nauseating stench, took a few steps back, and covered his mouth and nose, saying, "Big brother, what did you just touch? It smells so bad!"

Of course, it was the smelly socks that were dry and standing upright. The boy blinked guiltily, "Maybe it's because I touched the durian. Don't worry, I'll get some soap to wash them."

After saying that, he closed the door and locked it, ran to the courtyard gate and washed himself thoroughly. He smelled it several times to make sure there was no odor before returning to the main room to sit down.

"Wow, what a feast!"

Stir-fried shiitake mushrooms and shredded pork, stir-fried shredded potatoes with vinegar, stir-fried wood ear mushrooms and cured pork, steamed rice...

Besides potatoes, there were no other fresh vegetables at home. We used dried goods and cured meat to cook a few dishes. Fortunately, Yunxia is a good cook, and she could easily eat two bowls of rice with her.

As a patient, there were many things she couldn't do, so Wu Lifang took on the task of washing dishes. Under Jiang Chao's stern reprimand, her dirty clothes and smelly socks were thrown into the yard. She wiped the straw mat several times, dried it, and laid out a sky-blue (sponsored by Yunxia) mattress before finally lying down to sleep.
