Song Guoliang hadn't eaten since morning, and he had been busy all night rescuing supplies and putting out fires, so his stomach was already empty.
He finished a whole teacup of brown sugar and egg water in just a few gulps, then rinsed the teacup with some water and drank it all in one gulp.
Du Xiaoying looked at the time, pulled Wu Ya's clothes to cover her belly, and said softly, "You stay with Xiao Wu, I'll go to the cafeteria to get food."
"Um."
....
"You must be hungry," Du Xiaoying said as she opened the two lunch boxes, revealing the delicious food inside. She then wet her handkerchief and wiped the father and daughter's hands. "Okay, let's eat."
Song Guoliang glanced at his wife who was picking up eggs and cooking rice for Wu Ya, pursed his thin lips, and clumsily picked up the vegetables with his left hand, and the tomato fell back.
"I'll do it." Du Xiaoying didn't notice the gleam in the man's eyes. She put the steaming egg soup away, fearing that Wu Ya would accidentally touch it and get burned.
Song Guoliang coughed lightly, "Wife, don't worry, eat first and then-"
Du Xiaoying forcefully picked up the egg and brought it to the man's thin lips, frowning, "You're already injured, why are you still trying to be so stubborn? Open your mouth."
"Oh~" Song Guoliang opened his mouth obediently, his black eyes smiling, his voice low and magnetic, "Thank you for your hard work, wife. You should eat with me too."
Song Guoliang smiled in his dark eyes and lowered his voice, "Wife, what good fortune did I accumulate in my previous life to marry such a good wife like you in this life."
Du Xiaoying rolled her eyes at the man in reproach, "You're so smooth-talking. I think you learned bad things from Shuanzi."
The man let out a deep laugh from his throat, his eyes following his wife closely.
Du Xiaoying felt uncomfortable being stared at by this person, and her ears were burning. "Xiaowu, call mom for what you want to eat, and I'll serve it to you."
"Um."
Wu Ya nodded obediently, her little mouth puffed up like a cute little squirrel.
"I'll go back for a while to prevent Daya and the others from worrying, and bring some things with me." Du Xiaoying packed up the lunch box and told the man worriedly.
"You lie down and rest, and don't walk around."
"Xiao Du, don't worry and go back. We will take care of you."
"Excuse me, auntie."
Du Xiaoying carried Wu Ya out of the hospital, went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative to get her bicycle, and hurried back.
Worried, he kept reminding Wu Ya, "Xiao Wu, spread your legs and stay away from the wheels, okay?"
"Hmm~ Xiaowu heard it~"
"Xiaowu is so good!"
.....
As soon as Daya and her sisters came back, they learned from Aunt Liu that their father was injured and their mother had taken Wuya to the county.
The sisters had no appetite to eat. After feeding the chickens, they stared at the gate of the yard.
"I don't know how Dad is doing. Is his injury serious?" Daya's oval face, which was the size of a palm, was tightly frowned.
San Ya said nothing, her frown betraying her anxiety and worry at the moment.
"We're back~"
Si Ya's eyes were red as she shouted excitedly, "Sister, third sister, it's Second Sister's voice."
The three sisters hurried out of the yard and saw a bicycle coming towards them from a distance. Erya, who was sitting on the front bar, was waving her arms excitedly.
"Big sister, third and fourth brother, we are back."
"Mom, how's Dad?"
Du Xiaoying looked at her daughters' red eyes and said quickly, "Don't worry, your dad just injured his arm. Mom came back to pack up and then had to go take care of your dad. Have you eaten yet?"
"Not yet." The sisters shook their heads at the same time.
Du Xiaoying frowned, "How can we not eat? Don't worry about your dad. The doctor said that he can be discharged after a few more days of observation. Hurry up and get some food."
Daya, "Mom, have you and Xiaowu eaten?"
"It's ready. Mom got two dishes from the hospital cafeteria. You guys hurry up and prepare the meal." Du Xiaoying said as she hurried into the house to pack the things she was going to take to the county town, including a washbasin, towel, and kettle.
Sanya held Wuya's hand and whispered, "Xiaowu, how is Daddy's injury? Is it serious?"
Wu Ya scratched her head, blinked her big eyes like black grapes, and covered her arm with her little hands. "My arm hurts, Xiao Wu will stop hurting after a while~"
"Our dad is so awesome. If it weren't for him, I think the supply and marketing cooperative would have suffered huge losses!" Erya listened to her younger sister's words and roughly guessed what was going on. Her eyes were full of admiration.
"My dad is a hero! I want to learn from him and become a great hero."
Daya frowned and was about to speak when she saw her mother come out with a bad look on her face.
"Erya, when you help others, you must ensure your own safety. Never try to show off your strength, understand?"
"Did you remember what Mom said?"
Erya rarely saw her mother so serious. She was stunned for a moment and nodded heavily, "Mom, Erya remembers it."
Du Xiaoying hugged her daughter and softened her tone, "Mom is just an ordinary country woman. I don't understand any big principles. I just want my daughter to be safe and healthy."
Erya bit her lip and said, "Mom, Erya remembers it."
"Okay, your dad is still in the hospital. Remember to lock the door when you have classes this afternoon."
"Well, don't worry, Mom, I'm at home."
"If you have any problems, you can go find your Aunt Liu and Uncle Shuanzi and Uncle Erniu. Mom will take Xiaowu away first."
"Uh-huh."
....
Worried that it would be inconvenient for the man to go to the toilet alone, she rode the bike so fast that sparks were almost coming out of the pedals.
County Hospital
Du Xiaoying spent 2 cents to park her bicycle in the shed and locked it. Then she dragged her sore legs, carried her things, and took Wu Ya by the hand into the inpatient department.
"Dad~"
"Wu Ya, keep your voice down. Be careful not to disturb the uncle and aunt who are resting."
"Oh~" Wu Ya immediately covered her mouth and tiptoed into the ward.
"Dad~"
A smile instantly appeared on Song Guoliang's cold and unapproachable face, "Xiao Wu, my wife."
"Awake?" Du Xiaoying noticed the man's movements and asked hurriedly, "Do you want to go to the bathroom?"
Song Guoliang nodded with an unnatural look on his face, "I can do it myself."
"Are you okay? Don't be so stubborn." Du Xiaoying frowned and took out the urinal from under the bed.
Song Guoliang was choked and coughed, and quickly waved his hand, "Wife, no need, I'd better go to the toilet."
"You're already injured, what are you afraid of?" Noticing the man's red ears, she paused, "Xiaowu is leaving. Let's help Dad to the bathroom."
"Well, be careful, Dad."
.....
"Oh, I'm not going to live any longer, how could I raise an unfilial son who married a wife and forgot about his things."
"Everyone, please help judge the matter. You said my brother-in-law has a stable job but doesn't give a penny to the family. My parents-in-law raised him up.
Now, listening to what that evil wife of his said, she really doesn't like our family and treats everyone in our family as an enemy."
"Oh, I raised such an ungrateful kid. I don't want to live anymore. I'd rather just hit my head and die. Woo woo..."
