After the examination, Zhao Zhiqiang led the group back to the ward.
"Aunt, since Xiaoxi is awake, and there's nothing important to do today, you can go out for a walk later. It's a rare trip to the provincial capital."
Niu Cuihua quickly refused: "I'm not going. There are too many people in the provincial capital. If we want to go shopping, let Aiguo and his wife go. I'll stay here and look after Xiaoxi."
Zhao Zhiqiang was helpless and said, "It's okay. You guys can handle this matter yourselves. Just remember to come to me if you have any problems." After saying this, Zhao Zhiqiang left the ward.
As soon as Zhao Zhiqiang left the ward, Niu Cuihua immediately ordered, "Aiguo, take your wife and you out for a walk later."
Hearing what his mother said, Li Aiguo subconsciously retorted, "Mom, I won't go. Anyway, I'm often on business here. You and Huilan should go, and I'll stay here to look after Xiaoxi."
Zhang Huilan also agreed: "Yeah, Mom, there's nothing good about this place. It's just a waste of money. I'm not going."
Niu Cuihua immediately put on a stern face and said, "I told you two to go, so just go. Stop annoying me here, okay? Xiaoxi."
Li Mingxi, who followed her grandmother all day, immediately understood what she meant. "Mom and Dad, go shopping. Don't forget to buy me some delicious food."
Li Aiguo was about to tease Xiaoxi when he heard this, "Okay, I'll buy you something delicious. You little girl, when have you ever been short of food? You really have no conscience."
Seeing his father coming, Li Mingxi immediately hid behind his grandmother and said, "I want to eat delicious food. Don't forget to buy me something delicious."
Niu Cuihua looked at the father and daughter playing and stopped them, "Okay, stop making a fuss. It's getting late. Aiguo, take Huilan with you now."
Li Aiguo: "Okay, Mom, we'll go. If we're not back by noon, don't wait for me. Just take Xiaoxi to the cafeteria for lunch. If anything happens, call the doctor."
Niu Cuihua waved her hands impatiently, "Okay, I get it, you two go quickly, be careful, and come back early."
As soon as Li Aiguo and his wife left, Niu Cuihua asked Li Mingxi if he wanted to go to bed. However, Li Mingxi was full of energy due to yesterday's energy and had no desire to sleep at all, so the two of them sat in the house and played.
After playing for a long time, it was really boring, so Li Mingxi suggested going downstairs for a walk, so the grandfather and grandson went downstairs.
As soon as she got downstairs, Li Mingxi ran like a wild horse, shouting, "Grandma, look how beautiful this is."
Niu Cuihua hurriedly chased after him, "Xiaoxi, slow down, don't fall."
Li Mingxi pointed at a red flower and turned to ask, "Grandma, what kind of flower is this? It's so beautiful."
Looking at her cheerful little granddaughter, Niu Cuihua really didn't want to disturb her, but she really didn't know what kind of flower it was, so she could only say awkwardly, "Grandma doesn't know."
Then she added, "But grandma can help you ask others, then we will know."
"That's baby's breath," said an old lady in a Zhongshan suit next to her.
"Oh, it's baby's breath. Thank you, grandma." Li Mingxi said and bowed to the old lady in the Zhongshan suit.
Old Mrs. Shen nodded in acceptance. She had taken care of her grandson most of the night yesterday and fell asleep when she couldn't hold on any longer. When she got up this morning, Xiao Wei came to take over, so she took the opportunity to take a walk. Old Mrs. Shen felt really sorry for her grandson Xiao Jing. The child fell seriously ill not long after he was born, and his mother didn't like him for this reason. She usually didn't want to see him much at home.
Perhaps it was because of this illness when he was just born that he was in poor health and fell ill every now and then. This made Mu Manli, Xiaojing's mother, even more annoyed, so Mrs. Shen took better care of Xiaojing.
Maybe it was because of his love sickness or lack of maternal love, but when his peers started talking one after another, Xiao Jing was slow to speak.
His family thought he was mute and took him to the hospital for a checkup, but nothing was wrong. He didn't start talking until he was three years old. Unlike other children, he didn't chatter all day. His mother, Mu Manli, didn't even want to see him, thinking he was a burden. So, he stayed with Mrs. Shen and her husband ever since.
Old Mrs. Shen was looking forward to the life of playing with her grandchildren. She always hoped that Xiaojing could become more lively. Therefore, when she saw a lively and close-to-grandmother child like Li Mingxi, she couldn't help but feel a little yearning. So when she heard the little girl's question, she answered it without thinking.
When Niu Cuihua saw the old lady in a Zhongshan suit who was talking, she was a little hesitant to approach. After all, she had lived for so many years and had never seen such a particular old lady.
Although Niu Cuihua is a well-known figure in the Dongfeng Brigade, she is still somewhat timid when facing such a particular person.
Therefore, until Xiaoxi finished expressing her gratitude to the old lady, Niu Cuihua had not yet stepped forward to talk to her. After she finally mustered up the courage to speak, she lost her temper when she saw the old lady's delicate profile.
As Old Lady Shen was staring at Xiaoxi, she caught a glimpse of the little girl's grandmother, who seemed to be constantly in front of her, and she took the initiative to approach her and start a conversation. "Big sister, is this your granddaughter?"
When Niu Cuihua saw that the old lady was talking to her, she said nervously, "Yes, yes."
Mrs. Shen: "Your granddaughter is so cute and lively. You've taken such good care of her."
When Niu Cuihua heard people praising her, she quickly denied it, "No, no, it's because I have a good personality. I also inherited my good looks from my parents."
All I could hear was Mrs. Shen sighing softly, "Yeah, it's a matter of personality."
Hearing the tone of the old lady opposite was wrong, Niu Cuihua hurriedly changed the subject, "Old sister, are you here in the hospital to take care of the patients?"
Mrs. Shen: "Well, take care of my grandson. He had a fever yesterday and was given an IV drip."
When Niu Cuihua heard that the child was sick, she asked with concern: "How is he now? Is he better?"
Old Mrs. Shen: "Oh, don't mention it. Not only is he not well, but he fainted for no apparent reason."
Niu Cuihua tried to understand the reason, but Old Lady Shen couldn't explain it. Remembering that her granddaughter had been favored by a Chinese medicine practitioner, Niu Cuihua suggested that Old Lady Shen see a Chinese medicine practitioner, but Old Lady Shen didn't believe it. Li Mingxi, who was playing alone nearby, saw her grandmother chatting with the old lady and, curious about what they were talking about, eavesdropped.
I only heard Mrs. Shen talk about her grandson, who had been sickly since childhood and the family had spent countless efforts on him. When Western medicine couldn't cure him, they sought out traditional Chinese medicine. He had seen countless doctors, but his condition remained the same.
They had come to see the Chinese medicine doctor Niu Cuihua had mentioned, but he still couldn't cure her. They had no choice but to accept the result.
