"It's done!"
Speaking of Jiang Xianghai, Deng Cuixiang's mouth stretched into a wide grin, and her back straightened ramrod.
Zhou Qiqi asked about this last Sunday.
At that time, Deng Cuixiang led Jiang Xianghai to the Children's Palace. The math teacher was busy teaching students and didn't have time to pay attention to the newcomer. She casually handed over a set of papers from the Capital Mathematics Competition for the first grade last month and asked Jiang Xianghai to do them in the office.
Yesterday, after finishing, I asked Deng Cuixiang to take the child home first, saying that I would visit again when I had time.
Deng Cuixiang thought it was hopeless, but unexpectedly, the phone rang again at around 11 p.m. that night.
"The teacher said that Xiang Hai got all the questions right, and even provided three solutions to the last bonus question! This child is talented!"
The teacher also gave this set of questions to the first-year junior high students, and most of them could only barely pass. The last bonus question was completely incomprehensible to them.
But Jiang Xianghai not only got all the questions right, he even figured out the trick to the bonus questions!
It's important to know that Jiang Xianghai is only in the fourth grade of elementary school, and he attends a primary school in the suburbs.
This talent speaks for itself.
The teacher was so shocked that he rode his old bicycle to Xiang Hai's house the next day, patted his chest and said he wanted to take Xiang Hai as his apprentice and that he would take him to a competition at the end of the year.
At this point, Deng Cuixiang's eyes welled up with tears, and she patted Zhou Qiqi on the shoulder.
"I have to thank you so much, otherwise the child might have really been in my hands."
Zhou Qiqi stood up abruptly, speaking animatedly.
"That's right! If Xiang Hai wins an award, he'll have to push me up to accept it, saying I'm the child's parent. Yingying, what do you say?"
Seeing her winking and making faces, Yingying instantly understood, nodded, and made the suggestion in a serious tone.
"I think it's a good idea! We can change Xianghai's surname to Zhou Xianghai later, it sounds more proper!"
The two looked at each other, nodded, and said in unison, "It's settled then!"
"You naughty girls! Why are you all so mischievous! You're never serious!"
Deng Cuixiang knew the two men were teasing her, and she blushed slightly.
"And you, Yingying, actually joined her in making fun of your sister Cuixiang too!"
"Who told you, Sister Cuixiang, to always make fun of us? It's your turn now! Look at the water!"
As Zhou Qiqi spoke, she dipped a spoonful of water from the basin and flicked it at Deng Cuixiang.
Deng Cuixiang immediately realized what was happening and began to fight back.
But instead of attacking Zhou Qiqi first, he directly attacked Zhu Yingying, who hadn't reacted in time.
"Sister Cuixiang, you're bullying me!"
Zhu Yingying's face was covered in water from the splash, and just as she was about to retaliate, Deng Cuixiang ran out laughing.
The three women chased each other around in the front yard, their laughter rising in waves.
"Knock knock knock!"
Just then, someone knocked on the door.
Zhou Qiqi wiped her hands on her apron and opened the door. She saw it was Xiao Liu, the telephone operator from the military region's telephone room. As she took off her apron and handed it to Zhu Yingying, she said...
"Is there a phone call for me? I'll be right there."
I reckon it was Deputy Factory Director Zhang who called.
Xiao Liu quickly waved his hand, "No, no, it really isn't this time, I'm looking for Commander Shen."
Zhou Qiqi was taken aback. "Looking for Shen Huaichuan?"
Xiao Liu nodded.
"Yes, he said it was Director Zhai from the Provincial Military Region Hospital who called during a break in surgery, asking Commander Shen to answer the phone as soon as possible."
"Okay, I'll call them right away."
The car was still parked at the door when Qin Lei revved the engine and drove off with Shen Huaichuan.
He returned in less than five minutes.
Zhou Qiqi quickly went to greet her.
"What's wrong? Calling during a break from surgery, is it urgent?"
Seeing her worry, Shen Huaichuan quickly shook his head.
"No, Dean Zhai is usually very busy. He just returned from a consultation in the capital and still has several surgeries to perform. He asked for my scans and called to ask about my recovery."
Zhou Qiqi looked at Shen Huaichuan with some suspicion.
"Wouldn't it be easier to ask Dr. Ding about this? Could it be that there's something abnormal in your scans that you're hiding from me?"
With her, Shen Huaichuan's credibility was "bankrupt," and she couldn't trust him at all.
A helpless smile tugged at the corner of Shen Huaichuan's mouth.
"No, Dean Zhai wasn't planning to call, but he said he had prepared a surprise for me."
"What surprise?"
Shen Huaichuan shook his head. "He didn't say. He said we'd find out in a couple of days."
Seeing Zhou Qiqi's almond-shaped eyes darting around, he added.
"Maybe they sent me some special medicine. Dean Zhai sent a lot of medicine to my parents before."
That's what he said, but Zhou Qiqi didn't really believe him.
"Then let's go back inside, and let me see your wound again."
Shen Huaichuan recalled the way Qiqi cried when she first saw the wound on his chest, and his heart clenched. He frowned and gently comforted her.
"No need, Dr. Ding already said it's nothing."
"Okay, fine."
Zhou Qiqi nodded, looking as if she believed him.
However, around 8 p.m. the next night, when Shen Huaichuan went to the bathroom to wash himself, he took several blue bricks from the unfinished pavilion, placed them under his feet, and peeked out from the bathroom window.
She didn't believe Shen Huaichuan's hesitant and stammering manner!
I won't be at ease until I see it with my own eyes!
The small window was a bit high, and even with a few bricks placed on top, Zhou Qiqi could only barely catch a glimpse of it.
The bathroom had warm water, a small stool, and a change of clothes prepared by Zhou Qiqi.
