Zhou Qiqi nodded, and was about to bend down to hug Zhu Yingying when she saw Zhu Yingying point at Zhao Yaozu, who was still crying on the ground.
"Bring the child along too... He's crying so hard, I don't know if he got scratched by my car."
"OK."
Zhou Qiqi was so focused on looking at Zhu Yingying that she didn't see clearly whether the car hit Zhao Yaozu, so she could only reply "Okay".
She carefully lifted Zhu Yingying onto the back of the tricycle, made her sit comfortably against the side, and then comforted Zhao Yaozu, who was still crying, before lifting him onto the tricycle as well.
Deng Cuixiang was strong on her feet and pedaled the tricycle very fast, arriving at the health clinic in the military dependents' area in no time.
A few days after the wedding, Lin Yan and the Xu family elders left, but Xu Zao stayed behind.
Inside the clinic, Xu Zao was squatting in the yard washing clothes, the washboard making a "clattering" sound.
Zhou Qiqi, carrying Zhu Yingying, and Deng Cuixiang, carrying Zhao Yaozu, rushed inside. Zhou Qiqi quickly called out.
"Xu Zao! Get your sister-in-law out here! Someone's injured!"
Xu Zao didn't even look up, but vigorously rubbed the clothes in her hands and said irritably.
"Go call them yourself! I'm not here to work!"
It was Xu Shu, who was inside the house, who heard the commotion and quickly ran out. Seeing the scene, he didn't have time to say anything and turned around to call Lin Yao out from the inner room.
Lin Yao, dressed in casual clothes, slowly came out after hearing the noise. When she saw the blood on Zhu Yingying's leg, she frowned and reluctantly went to the inner room to find a white coat to put on.
Zhou Qiqi quickly recounted what had just happened on the playground. Lin Yao nodded and pointed to the two hospital beds inside: "Put the person on them."
She was about to check on Zhu Yingying's wound when she turned around and saw Xu Shu staring intently at Zhou Qiqi, his gaze seemingly glued to her.
Zhou Qiqi had been running fast, her forehead was covered in sweat, her cheeks were flushed, and a few strands of hair were wet with sweat and stuck to her neck, giving her a rather indescribable look.
Xu Shu stared wide-eyed, a slight smile playing on his lips, lost in thought.
Seeing this, Lin Yao stopped walking towards Zhu Yingying. She paused, then turned to look at Zhao Yaozu, who was still sobbing.
"Let me check on the child first."
Zhou Qiqi got anxious and pointed at Zhu Yingying's leg.
"He only has a minor scrape! Can't you see the blood flowing non-stop here?! Quickly treat this area first!"
Lin Yao slowly picked up an alcohol swab and wiped the small wound on Zhao Yaozu's knee without looking up.
"It's just a scratch, it won't kill you."
