Just as Cheng Xiaokui was wondering what was going on, a jeep pulled up at the gate of her yard.
Upon seeing the jeep, Cheng Qiuqiu exclaimed excitedly, "Mother-in-law, look! Speak of the devil, and here he comes! It's Dr. Song!"
She waved to Song Jingchuan and greeted him warmly, "Dr. Song, come quickly!"
Song Jingchuan got out of the car and strode into the courtyard.
He recognized Lin Qiuru and walked over to her, saying, "Auntie, what are you doing here?"
Cheng Qiuqiu said, "My in-laws heard the neighbors gossiping that my second brother-in-law is dead. Please tell my in-laws!"
Song Jingchuan said, "Auntie, I can assure you that Comrade Si is out of danger. He now experiences low-grade fever intermittently every day, but it's just a low-grade fever."
Given his current condition, his fever should completely subside in another two days.
In other words, his inflammation will be completely cured by then!
Lin Qiuru smiled at Song Jingchuan and asked, "You mean my son will be completely cured in two days? Is that what you mean?"
Song Jingchuan said, "The inflammation subsiding and the body being fully recovered are two different things. Although we are still some distance from being fully recovered, the inflammation has subsided, so we can proceed with our recovery as usual. There is no longer any danger to our lives."
Lin Qiuru nodded repeatedly and said, "It's good that he's not in mortal danger. When will he recover? How much longer will he need to rest?"
Song Jingchuan said, "Let's let him rest for another two or three months. That should be about right."
Song Jingchuan's words startled Lin Qiuru, who thought her son would be home in two days.
She said, "He has to recover for so long... This... He has a serious illness... His injuries are so severe..."
She quickly realized the seriousness of the problem; no one's inflammation had subsided, and they still needed two months to recover simply from the illness.
Song Jingchuan said, "His injuries were indeed very serious. The rumors outside that he sacrificed himself are not entirely unfounded, because for a period of time, he was indeed critically ill."
But none of that matters. What matters is that Lao Si has survived this ordeal and is no longer in mortal danger. So you can rest assured that in two months, he'll definitely be home, lively and energetic, visiting you.”
Lin Qiuru felt a mix of emotions. She knew her son was out of danger, and she was happy, but it was clearly premature to be happy.
Her son's condition was more serious than she had imagined...
She said, "I understand... My son is coming home this time to see if I can stay at home for a while. I want to give him some time to recuperate."
Could her job be changed? Could she be transferred to another department? It's just too dangerous…
She couldn't help but feel her eyes redden, and tears streamed down her face.
Just as Cheng Xiao Kui was about to call out "Mom," she suddenly realized that she was now Cheng Chun Kui.
She gently patted Lin Qiuru's shoulder and said, "Mother-in-law, these things aren't impossible. When Comrade Si recovers and comes home to visit you, you can tell him."
It's just a job change; no matter what position you're in, you can still contribute to the country. Don't you agree?
Lin Qiuru nodded and said, "Yes, yes! That's exactly what I mean. Isn't doing any job a contribution to the country? Why does it have to be so dangerous?"
Song Jingchuan said, "Old Si is so filial, he will definitely listen to you. You can rest assured."
He comforted Lin Qiuru, and as for whether Si Muyang would listen, he bet that he probably wouldn't.
Cheng Xiaokui gestured for Song Jingchuan to sit down, and she asked the aunties and grandmas to bring out all the good food. They all sat together, drinking and eating meat.
Cheng Qiu Kui was in great spirits; she hadn't been this happy in days. With her second sister by her side, she smiled carefree.
The two children ran around and played in the yard. They didn't care about any of the delicious food; they were already quite full of it at home.
Now, Xiaolongbao's favorite food is no longer Xiaolongbao, and it's not what he likes to eat most anymore.
Looking at her two children, Cheng Xiaokui couldn't help but sigh. Nutrition was indeed the key. The two children were now a head taller than when they were in the countryside. They were growing like bamboo shoots, growing incredibly fast.
Moreover, she has gained weight on her face and body, and now it's a bit difficult for her to pick up the child.
She called the two children to her side and asked them about their literacy progress. The two children were very well-behaved. Every day they would follow her instructions to learn and write characters.
Cheng Xiao Kui was very satisfied with this. She calculated that Xiao Long Bao and her son would be able to go to school next summer.
She reached out and touched the heads of the two children, and she changed their fate.
These two children have settled down in the city and will never have to go back to the countryside to farm again.
After finishing her meal, Lin Qiuru took her two children back to her own home. Before leaving, she asked Song Jingchuan to persuade Si Muyang to change jobs.
Song Jingchuan readily agreed.
Lin Qiuru left Cheng Xiaokui's house with her two children, satisfied.
Although she didn't see Cheng Xiao Kui today, she was relieved to know that her son was out of danger.
Thinking of Cheng Xiao Kui, she couldn't help but sigh again, wondering when Cheng Xiao Kui would be able to come back.
Cheng Xiao Kui invited Song Jing Chuan to sit in the room, as it would be safer to talk in the room, since there were many people watching and listening in the courtyard.
Back in his room, Song Jingchuan lowered his voice and asked, "Your aunt didn't realize you were Cheng Xiao Kui, did she?"
Cheng Xiao Kui laughed and said, "Can't you be more confident? With my disguise skills, let alone my mother-in-law, even Si Muyang might not be able to tell that I am Cheng Xiao Kui."
She confidently looked in the mirror again, and suddenly the image of the figure that had flashed past her shop entrance flashed back into her mind.
Song Jingchuan called out to Cheng Xiaokui, only to find that Cheng Xiaokui was in a daze.
He asked, "Xiao Kui, what's wrong?"
Song Jingchuan brought Cheng Xiaokui back to her senses. She shook her head slightly and said, "It's nothing. I just saw a figure that looked like Si Muyang."
Song Jingchuan said, "There are many people who look alike. You don't think Si Muyang ran away from the hospital on his own, do you?"
Given his current condition, even without anyone watching him, he couldn't escape. Besides, Song Yalan is watching him.
Cheng Xiaokui said, "Sister Song has worked hard these days. It's a pity I can't take care of Si Muyang myself."
Song Jingchuan said, "Her... Xiao Kui, do you like my sister?"
Cheng Xiao Kui said, "I like it. Sister Song is a very nice person."
Song Jingchuan then asked, "She's been taking care of Song Yang by Si Muyang's side. Aren't you angry?"
Cheng Xiao Kui said, "Why should I be angry? I can't take care of him myself, but Sister Song is helping me take care of him. I should thank Sister Song."
Song Jingchuan continued, "Aren't you afraid... that Song Yalan might have different feelings for Song Jingchuan? Men and women often develop feelings for each other over time. Aren't you afraid..."
