Chu Yue asked the waiter to settle the bill and took out the money.
The waiter bowed and said politely, "Ms. Chu, the fee for your private room has been paid."
Ye Zhaodi and Fang Xiuli were walking a little behind. They both stopped and looked up.
Chu Yue responded quickly, "... Was it Miss Pei who paid the kiss?"
The waiter smiled and said, "Miss Pei is our boss. She also said that from now on, whenever Miss Chu comes to our restaurant to eat, it will always be free."
The Pei family’s title of the richest family in the city is truly genuine. Any meal they eat will be attributed to the Pei family.
Even Fang Xiuli, who had seen powerful people before, secretly raised her eyebrows after hearing this, not to mention Ye Zhaodi, who opened her mouth in surprise but could not make a sound.
Chu Yue did not act as if she had to pay the money just to maintain her dignity.
She reached out and touched Pei Tianci's head and said, "Tianci, today we got a free lunch thanks to you."
This is the fee Pei Mingzhu gave for half a day of babysitting. She is really generous.
When they walked out of the store, Fang Xiuli still couldn't let go of the grocery store and started talking.
"Your shop is suddenly closed. This is not good. He Meijiao will think you have given up. Since we have finished our meal, you go and treat Ye Xiaoman. I will go back to open the shop."
The shop assistant who works diligently is on the line, and she is more dedicated than Chu Yue.
Chu Yue was going to treat Ye Xiaoman next, and it was not convenient to bring Lu Yuanbao and Pei Tianci with her, so she simply handed the two children to Fang Xiuli and asked her to take them back to the store. Pei Mingzhu had also said that she would send someone to the store to pick up Pei Tianci.
"Okay, go to the store and take Yuanbao and Tianci with you. They like to play by the back door, so just prepare stools and water for them."
"Um."
Fang Xiuli nodded, took the two children who were not hers, and walked back to open the grocery store.
Chu Yue and Ye Zhaodi walked towards the hospital and the small house that Ye Zhaodi had temporarily rented.
"Sister Yue!"
In the room, when Ye Xiaoman saw Chu Yue, his reaction was even more excited than Ye Zhaodi's before. He couldn't hide the smile on his face, with the corners of his mouth raised high, and he was so excited that he wanted to get off the bed.
He said loudly, "Sister Yue, it's really you who's back... It's really you! My sister said you went to fight the floods and rescue more people who need your help. That's a big thing. No matter how I asked her, she said she didn't know when you would be back and she was always worried about you. Now I see you're back safe and sound, it's really great!"
The young man couldn't hide his feelings and blurted out everything that was on his mind.
Chu Yue greeted him, "Xiao Man, we haven't seen each other for a long time. You look really good."
Ye Xiaoman's condition was not just good, but full of vigor and vitality. He grew taller and stronger, and the darkness and depression of so many years disappeared from him.
Chu Yue also noticed that on the table in front of Ye Xiaoman, there were not only books, but also some paper boxes and a bowl of paste.
“Is this handicraft?”
It looks like they are pasting paper boxes.
"Yeah." Ye Xiaoman nodded vigorously and said to Chu Yue like he was offering a treasure, "Sister Yue, I can make 30 cents a day doing this."
Three cents may sound insignificant, but for Ye Xiaoman, it is something he has never been able to do before, and it is also the realization of his self-worth.
He had always been taken care of and protected by Ye Zhaodi before, and Ye Zhaodi made money to support him, but now it is different, he can also make money.
Ye Xiaoman not only pastes paper boxes, but also prepares meals before Ye Zhaodi comes home from get off work, so that Ye Zhaodi can have a rest as soon as she comes back.
Ye Zhaodi looked at Ye Xiaoman with eyes full of relief, "Sister Yue, I advised him that the weather is hot recently and he will be tired if he works too much. It is better for him to rest more at home, but he didn't listen and kept doing these things every day."
"That's good. Just use it as a way to kill time. Otherwise Xiaoman would be bored at home alone." Chu Yue agreed with Ye Xiaoman.
Ye Xiaoman was even more excited when he heard this, and said to Ye Zhaodi with a raised eyebrow, "Sister, did you hear that? Sister Yue asked me to do it. Don't worry, when I go to school in a few months, I will concentrate on my studies and will not do these things anymore."
"Okay, okay, now you have Sister Yue as your backer, can't I let you do it?"
After a while of laughter, the group finally moved to Ye Xiaoman's legs.
"Xiao Man, how do your legs feel lately?"
As Chu Yue asked the question, the smiles on Ye Zhaodi and Ye Xiaoman slowly disappeared and froze on their faces.
"It's not much different from a month ago..."
Ye Xiaoman said dejectedly that he got a crutch a month ago and was finally able to stand up and walk, but his legs still couldn't exert much strength, and his waist still hurt after walking for a long time. The bones in his lower body could not be corrected. After the attending doctor knew about it, he asked Ye Xiaoman to reduce the use of crutches as much as possible and still focus on conservative corrective treatment, and then see the situation after half a year.
So overall, Ye Xiaoman's condition is at a standstill.
Chu Yue thought about this situation, and she comforted Ye Xiaoman earnestly.
"Xiao Man, your legs are a growth problem. This cannot be cured by taking medicine. You have to spend time, day by day, to get through it slowly. As long as you persist, one day you will be able to walk like a normal person without crutches."
"Sister Yue, I know. I will persist. I won't give up. I will keep going."
"What a good boy. Lie down and we'll give you another acupuncture treatment."
"Okay, Sister Yue."
Silver needles pierced into Ye Xiaoman's body one by one. He had become accustomed to it. Not only did he not feel uncomfortable, he even missed it a little, because every time Chu Yue gave him acupuncture, he always felt better the next day.
Ye Xiaoman lay on the bed, holding a book in his hand, and began to read it naturally.
He waited for the acupuncture to be over, and then Chu Yue removed the needles for him.
During the waiting time, Ye Zhaodi poured water, took out watermelons, and kept entertaining Chu Yue. Chu Yue looked around their cozy little house and her eyes finally fell on Ye Zhaodi.
She asked, "Zhaodi, are you still reading and studying?"
Ye Zhaodi paused and shook her head. "I just read newspapers, not books."
Chu Yue thought for a moment and said, "Zhao Di, do you still want to go back to school?"
At the beginning, Chu Yue asked Ye Zhaodi whether she had ever been to school. Ye Zhaodi replied that she only went to elementary school. Later, due to changes in her family, she could no longer continue her studies.
If she wants to continue her studies, she has to go to junior high school...
"It's so weird for me to go to school with kids when I'm this old. Sister Yue, I think it's good like this now. I can make money, take care of my brother, and know you. I'm very happy now." Ye Zhaodi said contentedly.
Chu Yue nodded, "...It's not appropriate for you to go to school at your age. Then buy some books and study on your own."
