Chapter 62 Illness and Hospitalization

Chen Fangyang and Chen Fanglan bought some things near the hospital and tiptoed into the ward, just in time to see Grandpa Chen tucking the blanket around Shen Xuewei.

Chen Fangyang poked Shen Xuewei's face, about to speak, when his grandfather slapped his hand away.

His voice was low and serious, "Weiwei just woke up and went back to sleep. If you wake her up, I won't let you off the hook."

Chen Fangyang shrank back and lowered his voice.

"Dad, I know, I won't tease her anymore. I bought you some food and also brought some porridge for Weiwei, she can eat it in a bit."

Chen Fanglan then leaned forward and gently touched Shen Xuewei's forehead to check her temperature.

Grandpa Chen ate his meal quietly, and seeing that she was moving so quietly that she didn't wake Shen Xuewei, he turned his gaze back to her.

Shen Xuewei's forehead was still a little hot. Chen Fanglan glanced at the IV drip that was half full and sighed.

"Why is Weiwei so seriously ill this time?"

Chen Fangyang glanced at the IV drip and said, "She's young, and the weather has suddenly gotten so cold. She probably caught a chill at school, or maybe she caught it from her classmates."

"It's okay, I'll buy her a few more warm clothes after she's discharged from the hospital."

Chen Fanglan glanced at her grandfather, who was eating, and said, "Weiwei's school final exams are coming up soon, I wonder if she'll be able to make it in time."

Grandpa Chen lowered his head, took a sip of soup, and said in a deep voice, "There are still more than ten days until the final exams. If you can make it in time, you can take the exams; if you can't, you won't take them."

It's a bit of a shame that I missed a final exam.

But health is more important than exams.

Weiwei's grades speak for themselves, and he also tutors her at home regularly.

Although she is still in the first semester of sixth grade, Weiwei has already learned the content of the second semester of sixth grade, so it will not affect her grades.

Chen Fanglan had to go to work, so she stayed by Shen Xuewei's side for a while before returning to work.

Chen Fangyang was a restless person, so he made up an excuse and left the hospital.

When Shen Xuewei woke up again, her maternal grandfather was still by her side.

She sipped the porridge that Grandpa Chen had warmed up for her, her face pale and haggard, her eyes unfocused.

She is quite ill this time and will not be able to leave the hospital for a while.

Grandpa Chen wasn't the type to take care of others; he stayed by Shen Xuewei's side, but remained silent and quiet.

He remembered that Shen Xuewei had always been close to Chen Fangli, so he used the hospital's phone to call the Chu family.

Chen Fangli answered the phone and learned that Shen Xuewei was hospitalized.

After quickly packing two sets of clothes and instructing Chu Fu to take good care of Chu De'an at home, he hurriedly boarded the bus to the county.

Seeing Shen Xuewei's sickly face in the ward, I felt so sorry for her that I almost burst into tears.

"Weiwei, your second aunt is here. Don't be afraid, Weiwei. Your second aunt will protect you..."

She sat by Shen Xuewei's hospital bed, soothing her gently.

Shen Xuewei gave her a weak smile, reached out and grasped the hem of her clothes, and leaned against her.

With Chen Fangli taking care of her, Grandpa Chen gave Shen Xuewei a few words of advice and went home with peace of mind.

He was delayed in the county for two days, and there was still a lot of work waiting for him to do at home and outside.

Shen Xuewei contracted pneumonia and stayed in the hospital for more than ten days.

Under Chen Fangli's meticulous care, her health improved day by day, and finally the day came when she could be discharged from the hospital.

On the day of his discharge, Chen Fangyang and Chen Fanglan both came.

True to his word, Chen Fangyang took a few people to the county's shopping mall and bought several outfits for Shen Xuewei.

Chen Fanglan carried the items in her hands, and Chen Fangyang struck a pose of extravagance, waving his hand and saying:

"Little Weiwei, what else do you want to buy? Just tell me what you want, your second uncle has plenty of money!"

Shen Xuewei looked up at him and sighed inwardly, realizing that her second uncle was living a more comfortable life than she had imagined.

Urged on by Chen Fangyang, she turned her gaze to the mobile phone store next door.

Chen Fangyang followed her gaze and also saw the mobile phone store.

His smile faded, and his face hardened.

"No, you're too young to use a cell phone."

If he buys Xiao Weiwei a cell phone so soon, and she ends up neglecting her studies or associating with bad influences, his father will really beat him to death.

Shen Xuewei looked away in disappointment. "Second Uncle, I don't want to buy anything."

There are also two mobile phone shops in town.

However, the shop owner was too responsible and wouldn't sell to children, so Shen Xuewei could only watch longingly.

I thought I'd finally be able to buy it this time...

Chen Fangyang couldn't buy it for her, and he couldn't bear to see her so disappointed and sad. Just as he was about to speak, Chen Fanglan pulled him directly into the mobile phone store.

“Weiwei can’t use a phone, but I can! It’s rare for you to be so generous as to buy me a phone; I’ve wanted one for so long.”

Although she has saved some money these days, she still hasn't been able to bring herself to buy a cell phone.

Before this, only Chen Fangyang had ever taken advantage of her; she had never taken advantage of him in the slightest.

Now that Chen Fangyang is being generous for once, why not let him buy one now?

With money in hand, Chen Fangyang became extremely generous.

Chen Fanglan pulled him to the mobile phone store, and he waited for her to choose what she wanted before paying.

This mobile phone store sells mobile phones from several mainstream brands.

This store carries well-known brands like Nokia, as well as more familiar ones like Motorola and Samsung, and Ericsson.

Chen Fanglan looked left and right, and with the recommendation of the salesperson, she chose a Motorola foldable phone.

The shop assistant helped her install the SIM card. After Chen Fangyang saw that she had made her selection, he was about to pay when Shen Xuewei grabbed his clothes.

He looked down and saw Shen Xuewei quietly point at Chen Fangli and whisper, "Second Uncle, Second Aunt doesn't have a cell phone either."

Chen Fangyang looked at Chen Fangli and said, "Second sister, why don't you go and choose one too? I'll pay for it together."

Chen Fangli was taken aback, and quickly waved her hand to refuse, saying, "No need, no need, we have a telephone at home, I wouldn't need a cell phone."

Chen Fangyang advised, "A cell phone is small and easy to carry, and it works better than a telephone. Second sister, don't be so polite with me. If you're too polite, it'll make us distant, and how will I be able to visit your house in the future?"

He had already gone this far, and Chen Fangli was in a bit of a dilemma.

Shen Xuewei pulled her directly to the counter, "Second Aunt, Second Uncle is very rich now, don't be polite with him. Choose something, or if you don't want to choose, Weiwei will help you."

As she spoke, she pointed to the most expensive phone.

Chen Fangli glanced at the price tag on the phone: 8,599 yuan.

He took only one glance at the price and was so frightened that he took a step back and quickly pulled Shen Xuewei's hand back.

"Okay, Weiwei, your aunt can choose for herself, you don't need to choose."

Fearing that Shen Xuewei would point to the more expensive phones again, she quickly chose a Nokia phone that cost around 500 yuan.

Seeing this, Shen Xuewei chuckled to herself and let her hold her hand, standing obediently beside her.

Chen Fangyang paid the bill and then took the three of them to a restaurant in the mall for a meal.

After eating, Chen Fanglan went back to work at the beauty salon.

Shen Xuewei had a poor appetite and didn't eat much. She only ate two bites before stopping.

Chen Fangli tried to persuade her a couple of times, but seeing that she really didn't want to eat, she stopped trying.
