Chapter 230
"It takes 100 days for a broken bone to heal." Zhong's mother thoughtfully brought a bowl of egg soup. "The doctor said you can get out of bed and walk around, but he also said you have to wait at least three months."
"Your wound looks healed, but it's actually not. If you don't want to have any sequelae in the future, just lie down at home and relax."
Mr. Zhong gritted his teeth and said, "That doesn't mean I have to stay at home all the time. I have nothing to do every day and I'm almost a useless person."
"Dad," Zhong Qiao said, "If you feel bored, you can make your own wood carving in your room. I'll ask Mom to bring it to you when the time comes."
She knew that Mr. Zhong usually got up early and went to bed late, not just because he was hardworking, but because he really loved wood carving. If he were to lie at home for half a year, he would definitely suffocate to death.
"Really?" Zhong's father was excited when he heard it. "That's great. Otherwise, I'd be lying here, even relying on your mother to feed me. If I wore this, I'd be laughed at."
Zhong Qiao smiled and said, "Dad, they will only think that you are a hero who bravely helped Mom block the knife."
Mr. Zhong blushed: "You kid just know how to tease me."
Zhong Qiao stopped teasing him and turned to visit Wanwan.
She has been busy with other things these days and hasn't spent enough time with Wanwan for a long time. Mrs. Qian and her mother are helping to take care of her.
"Mom!" Wanwan can speak now, although the words she speaks are vague, but the word she remembers most clearly is mom.
Hearing his daughter calling him, Zhong Qiao felt warm in his heart. He took a few steps forward and hugged her in his arms.
"Mom!" Wanwan called out again, and this time, her tone was obviously more excited than before.
Zhong Qiao touched her and said, "Good girl, you are so obedient."
Wanwan shouted into the air again, "Dad."
This strange word suddenly appeared in Wanwan's mouth, making Zhong Qiao tremble all over. Later she realized that she was calling Ji Hebai's name.
Yes, Ji Hebai worked hard to take care of her. Even if he didn't make any contributions, he still worked hard. It would be strange if she didn't remember it.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhong Qiao sighed and accepted it: "Dad...he is busy with important things right now, and I don't know when he will be back. Wanwan, even if you are the only one at home, you must be obedient!"
Regardless of whether the child understood or not, Zhong Qiao felt sweeter than eating honey.
Others say that children are most difficult to raise before they are three years old. Because of Ji Hebai, Zhong Qiao has saved a lot of trouble. It can be said that she can concentrate on her career, which is completely related to Ji Hebai and others.
Looking at the moonlight outside, Zhong Qiao couldn't help but sigh: "Ji Hebai, when will you come back?"
Their daughter already missed him.

Cui Liu and Zhong Hua were guarding the door, looking as if they would not give up until they saw the person today. As soon as Zhong Qiao walked out of the house, he saw them with guilty looks on their faces.
Before she could push her bike out, two people's eyes lit up and they insisted on squeezing in.
"Zhong Qiao, you finally came out." Cui Liu's acting was quite exaggerated. He pulled her and treated her like his own daughter. "Oh, we haven't seen each other for a while."
Zhong Qiao was surprised by their enthusiasm.
If she remembered correctly, Cui Liu and Zhong Hua were both extremely hostile to her and had repeatedly made trouble just to make life difficult for her. Why on earth did they suddenly become so polite to her today?
If someone shows affection for no reason, they are either a traitor or a thief. Zhong Qiao didn't dare to get too close to these two foxes, so he casually pushed her hand away: "If you have something to say, just say it."
"I still have to go to work, so I don't have time to catch up with you guys."
Although Cui Liu had long been aware of her attitude, his face was still stunned and vaguely a little ugly, but when he thought of the purpose of his visit, the expression disappeared in an instant and was replaced by the loving expression of an elder.
"Oh, it's nothing, actually. It's just that your grandparents have been thinking about you and insisted that I come over to treat you to a reunion dinner. When are you free? Come back home for dinner then."
Home?
Zhong Qiao was almost amused by their sudden change of attitude.
At the time, she was subjected to rumors and defamation, and many of the things were caused by the two of them. Zhong Qiao did not retaliate against them, which was already considered quite saintly.
These two people kept harassing him, just like they were so tactless. Zhong Qiao really had no patience.
"Don't worry about when we're going back to see grandpa and grandma, or when we're going to have dinner."
Zhong Qiao showed no mercy.
"I have something else to do, so I'll leave you for now."
After she finished speaking, she walked away, completely ignoring the shocked and ugly expressions of the two people beside her.
"Zhong Qiao." Zhong Hua was anxious and wanted to pull her arm, "You can't leave!"
Zhong Qiao dodged directly.
If she was just a little angry just now, now she was deeply impatient with the two people's recklessness and rudeness.
Seeing that Zhong Qiao's expression was not right, the two looked at each other and changed their expressions.
Cui Liu took the opportunity to play the emotional card and said, "Zhong Qiao, I also know that we had misunderstandings before, but you have separated from your family. It has been so long, and the grudges have long been forgotten. No matter what happens, we are still blood relatives."
"You are still a member of the Zhong family. Even if you don't like us and really don't want to bother with us, grandpa and grandma are old and they are innocent. Moreover, they often approached your family behind our backs. We didn't make a fuss because we saw they were old."
"But you have to go back and visit the two old people. Then we can have a reunion dinner and live a good life. That's better than anything else."
She seemed quite sincere when she said this.
"We were wrong before, but now we've come to our senses. What others say is their business, but your last name is Zhong, so you're one of us. We should stand united against the outside world instead of fighting among ourselves."
Hearing that the uneducated Cui Liu could suddenly say such words, Zhong Qiao raised his eyebrows and looked over in surprise.
Zhong Hua also said cautiously: "Zhong Qiao, grandpa and grandma are always thinking about you at home. They have you in their hearts. No matter what, you have to go back to see them. Don't worry, we will have a meal together and will definitely not cause any trouble."
Seeing that Zhong Qiao seemed to be a little shaken, they looked at each other and decided to use their trump card.
"Zhong Qiao, let's stop here. Do you want to go back and visit your grandparents? We won't force you. We are just the messengers. As for how to choose, that's your business."
"We'll leave first so we don't get in your way."
Zhong Qiao thought they were acting again, but this time, the two of them really didn't look back and walked away cleanly and neatly. This sudden change made Zhong Qiao even more confused.
