Extra: Warmth

Because he met his grandma, Xiaojiu stayed at home for the whole afternoon.

It was almost evening when he was about to leave.

When Qu Jinghong heard that he was going to find a hotel, he wanted to let him stay.

But there was no vacant room at home, so if I stayed, I would only be able to sleep on the sofa.

So she didn't mention the matter and just asked him to stay for dinner.

While Xiaojiu was trying to refuse, Shuying and Wen Shuren opened the door and came in.

Wen Zhile made way for the door and took out the slippers for them and put them on the ground: "Mom and Dad, Xiaojiu is leaving."

Xiaojiu followed Wen Zhile and called out "Mom and Dad" in his heart.

"Uncle and aunt."

The two responded one after another.

"Xiaojiu, please stay for dinner tonight."

"Your uncle and I will cook for you."

After saying this, Shu Ying raised her voice slightly: "Mom, Sister Zhu has something to do at home, so she won't be coming to cook tonight."

After saying that, he looked back at Xiaojiu and sighed again.

Rather than looking like her, Xiaojiu actually looks more like her father who had passed away many years ago in her memory.

"Zhizhi, take Xiaojiu to the living room to play for a while. Your dad and I will go to the kitchen."

Wen Zhile looked at Xiaojiu.

Xiaojiu wanted to refuse, but she didn't say it out loud.

Qu Jinghong went to the kitchen to help, and Wen Zhile pulled Xiaojiu aside: "Are you feeling unwell?"

Xiaojiu was amazed at her careful observation.

"Sister, actually I have a special physical condition and cannot eat any food."

Wen Zhile was stunned.

"Then at noon you..."

"What should I do now? Can I recover after eating it?"

"Yes, but I haven't mastered the method yet, so it will take a long time."

The pain spread throughout his body from the moment he ate lunch.

He had been holding it in, but he didn't expect that his sister would still see through it.

"It's actually not that bad."

Xiaojiu laughed and said, "Sister, let's go to the kitchen and help."

"I've been eating the meals my parents cooked for a long time."

Wen Zhile held him back and wanted to let him go first, but when she thought that he must miss his parents, she couldn't bear to say it.

"If you really feel uncomfortable, please tell me."

Xiaojiu nodded and smiled obediently.

The two men walked into the kitchen. Shu Ying and the others tried to stop them from doing it, but in the end they couldn't persuade Xiao Jiu.

Just like in the previous life, Xiaojiu helped his parents while they cooked.

Wen Zhile stood aside and watched, his eyes slightly sore.

Forgetting Xiaojiu and everything related to Xiaojiu would be the biggest regret of her life.

After dinner, Wen Shuren drove Xiaojiu out of the community. It was already dark, and the disco across the street was brightly lit.

Xiaojiu didn't want him to drive a long distance at night, so he mentioned the name of Shuhai Hotel as soon as he went out: "Uncle, I'm staying there tonight."

Wen Shuren turned the steering wheel and said with a smile, "It's close. You can come to my house for breakfast tomorrow morning."

Xiaojiu agreed seriously. At the same time, he thought about practicing the magic method of expelling food turbidity after settling in the hotel so that he could use it often in the future. Eating is a major event in life. He will definitely have to eat often with his family in the future. Otherwise, what is the point of coming back?

"Sister Xiuxiu, you are still here so late."

After arriving at the place, Wen Zhile accompanied Xiaojiu in.

After her brother Fang Xue succeeded in starting his own business and made money, Fang Xiuxiu borrowed some money from him, bought the Shuhai Hotel, and renovated it. She used all the advantages and disadvantages and ideas she had summarized during her years of working as a front desk staff in the Shuhai Hotel.

She was very frustrated because her boss didn't listen to her suggestions.

Now that I am my own boss, it is much easier to make changes.

It turns out that her ideas are all good.

With the help of the Xiangdangdang Disco on the street, the turnover of Shuhai Hotel has tripled compared with before.

After making money, Fang Xiuxiu paid back the money immediately. She planned to buy another hotel when she made more money and continue to engage in this business.

Her brother was doing so well in his career, she couldn't fall behind.

"Zhi Le, you're here just in time!"

"I was just thinking of visiting you in a few days," Fang Xiuxiu said with surprise, taking out a small box from her jacket pocket. "I went shopping this afternoon and saw this little gadget. It's so cute, and it's perfect for Xiaoqi."

"Here, take it."

Before Wen Zhile could speak, Fang Xiuxiu stuffed the small box into her hand and then asked the person next to her.

Wen Zhile thanked her and said, "Sister Xiuxiu, this is my brother. His home is far away, and he wants to stay in a hotel for a while."

"Then come quickly, I will register you."

She greeted the receptionist, who made way for her. Fang Xiuxiu went over and took Xiaojiu's ID card: "Brother, I'll get you a room with plenty of sunlight."

"You don't have to pay to stay here. You can stay as long as you want."

"You have to take the money." Wen Zhile handed her the money, "Open the 200 yuan note first."

Fang Xiuxiu smiled: "I have worked in hotels for many years, but this is the first time I have seen someone book a room like this."

"As expected of you."

She quickly filled out the registration form, found the key and gave it to Xiaojiu.

Wen Zhile curled her lips.

"Sister Xiuxiu, you are busy. I will go up with my brother to take a look."

"Okay, turn right upstairs."

Compared to when Wen Zhile first stepped in, this place has changed drastically.

The narrow corridor became clean and spacious, and I could no longer smell the stench of the toilet even when I walked to the end.

Wen Zhile followed his memory and found the place and opened the door.

The room is spacious and bright, and the furniture is new.

She looked back, feeling quite emotional.

"Isn't this the room I stayed in when I first returned to Jingzhou, Xiaojiu, do you still remember it?"

Xiaojiu walked in and teased, "Of course I remember. Your brother-in-law will be living opposite you soon."

Wen Zhile laughed and urged him, "Come in quickly and use your method to relieve the discomfort in your body. If it doesn't work, try inducing vomiting."

Xiao Jiu wiped the cold sweat from the pain and said, "It's okay. I can still bear it."

"Dad is still waiting outside, you should go back."

Wen Zhile was afraid of delaying his "healing" and walked away: "I'm leaving now. Call me if you have anything."

Xiaojiu nodded.

Wen Zhile helped him close the door.

The moment he turned around, his smile faded.

She vaguely guessed that Xiaojiu's inability to touch food was related to her rebirth.

He had sacrificed so much for her that she couldn't face him easily.

Although it would be a great joy if he could come back.

But it still takes time to be completely relieved.

…

The next day, Wen Zhile took Xiaojiu to the Shinan Military Hospital.

She called Zhou Jihuai last night and told him about this, and Zhou Jihuai took a day off.

When they passed by, he was feeding Xiaoqi with milk powder.

As soon as Wen Zhile entered the room, she heard a happy voice: "Sister Xiangxiang!"

Xiaoqi held the pacifier and tilted his head curiously in his father's arms.

She glanced at her little brother and then grinned at her mother.

When the eleven-year-old Qin Xingyao saw Xiaojiu, his eyes lit up: "Sister Xiangxiang, which brother is this?"

Sure enough, beautiful people have friends who are all good-looking.

This brother is as handsome as Sister Xiangxiang, so let’s call him beautiful brother!
