Upon arriving at the door, Gu Lingxiao let his son in first, then put his arm around Lu Zhixia's waist, saying, "Come with me to visit my parents tomorrow."
"They went back so quickly," Lu Zhixia said.
Gu Lingxiao: "They only came to celebrate my birthday. They're usually quite busy with work."
Lu Zhixia said, "I'll go with you to see them off."
Gu Lingxiao said, "I'll come pick you up at 10 a.m. tomorrow. We can take the person to the train station together."
Lu Zhixia nodded, "Okay, I understand."
This time, Gu Lingxiao didn't dare to kiss her deeply. Instead, he lowered his head and kissed her forehead before turning away, because he was afraid he wouldn't be able to control himself.
Watching the man leave in a hurry, Lu Zhixia smiled.
I opened the door and went inside, and saw my son already wiping his feet with a towel.
Lu Zhixia walked over and carried the basin to the corner, intending to empty it all in the morning. Then she returned to the bedside and sat down.
"Grandpa and Grandma are going back tomorrow, do you want to see them off?"
Gu Huailin: "But I have to go to school, what should I do? Should I ask the teacher for leave?"
Lu Zhixia patiently continued, "Yes, that's why I'm asking if you want me to send it."
Gu Huailin nodded emphatically, "I want to see my grandparents and great-grandmother off!"
Lu Zhixia took off the child's coat. "Then I'll ask the teacher for leave for you tomorrow, and after dropping the child off, I'll take you back to school, okay?"
Gu Huailin obediently lay down, closed his eyes, and then said...
"Okay, Mom, I'll listen to you!"
Lu Zhixia covered the child with a blanket, then washed her face and changed her clothes. When she returned to the bedside, she saw that the child was already asleep.
It seems that going out today has exhausted him. I'm quite tired too, so I quickly lay down to sleep.

Hospital.
Song Lingling was awakened by the pain, and she heard a girl's voice in her ear.
The young nurse collected the empty IV bag and then spoke to the nurse behind her.
"That's really tragic. A miscarriage wouldn't normally require a hysterectomy, but after being with that man, she lost her uterus!"
"Therefore, women must love themselves; this is the consequence of not loving oneself!"
"Isn't that right? I'm married now. I'll definitely keep a close eye on my sister when I get back. Don't underestimate them just because they're young; they're capable of anything."
"Yes! You need to keep a close eye on this; isn't this a living example?"
"You said she doesn't even have any family, how pitiful!"
"Luckily someone brought the money over, otherwise the person wouldn't have survived!"
The sound faded as the two nurses walked out with their belongings.
Tears of regret streamed down Song Lingling's face; her youth, everything she had, was over.
If someone had been in charge of her, how could she have turned out like this?
A surge of willpower made her open her eyes, only then realizing how much pain her body was in.
"Sister-in-law!" she cried out instinctively, and then she burst into tears.
No one will answer anymore. When she was sick before, Lu Zhixia would take care of her as much as possible and cook delicious food for her.
Those heartwarming scenes flashed through her mind one after another. She regretted it so much. Why did she treat her sister-in-law that way?
Now, this predicament is entirely of his own making.

Lu Zhixia found that waking up early was really tough. Luckily, she didn't have to make breakfast. Drinking the porridge that Su Lan cooked, and then taking a bite of the juicy salted duck egg, she was completely awake.
Su Lan: "They're taking the train back today. Do you want to prepare something to send them over? Captain Gu, your parents just agreed to you two being together, now's your chance to prove yourself!"
Lu Zhixia's eyes lit up with an idea. "I'll go to the school to ask for leave for the kids first, then go to the market to see if I can get some meat. I'll make some dumplings for them then. What do you think?"
Su Lan slapped her thigh and said, "That's a must! Let's make some meat dumplings and some vegetarian ones too. That way, we can have a balanced meal, and they can eat however they want. Most importantly, they can taste your cooking skills, which will definitely make a good impression."
Lu Zhixia stood up, went back to her room to quickly change her clothes, then hurriedly went downstairs, rode her bicycle to the school to ask for leave for her child.
Then I went to the supply and marketing cooperative with the intention of asking Director Yu for help, but I happened to see that they were selling meat.
There were still many people in line, and at this point, connections were essential.
She went to the front and looked around, but didn't see Director Yu.
"Hey girl!" the butcher called out.
Lu Zhixia glanced at the person cutting meat; he was someone she knew, so she walked over without hesitation.
"I want to find my uncle."
The butcher immediately understood and whispered to her, "Your uncle went to do something else, but he told me you ordered meat in advance, so I can cut it for you!" He then pulled a bag of large bones from under the cutting board.
"This bone is an extra one he wanted to give you, saying you know how to cook it!"
Lu Zhixia decisively told him, "Give me two pounds of pork leg meat to make dumplings, and then give me three pounds of spare ribs."
After hearing this, the man started cutting with a knife and quickly packed the items up.
Lu Zhixia quickly paid the money and the meat ticket, "Tell my uncle that I'll come at the same time tomorrow!"
The butcher nodded and handed over everything.
Lu Zhixia grabbed her things and left in a hurry, not expecting it to go so smoothly, with more time than anticipated.
I rode my bike all the way back to the tenement building, parked it, and took my things upstairs. Since I wasn't in a rush, I didn't run upstairs.
When Su Lan saw Lu Zhixia return, carrying quite a few things, she quickly went over to take them.
