When Mrs. Shen calmed down, she saw Li Mingxi looking at her grandson eagerly, while her grandson had a sour face and ignored her.
I only heard Mrs. Shen say in a gentle voice: "Xiao Xi, did your brother make you angry?"
Before Xiaoxi could speak, Niu Cuihua took the lead and said, "Xiaoxi must have been annoying her brother just now. I know this kid is the most noisy!"
Mrs. Shen retorted: "I think it must be about my Xiaojing."
Niu Cuihua: "How could that be? Xiaojing just woke up and Xiaoxi went to provoke him. He must be annoyed. Xiaoxi, you have to apologize to your brother. Your brother is not in good health."
Li Mingxi nodded obediently, "I'm sorry, brother, I didn't mean it. Please don't get angry and hurt yourself."
Old Lady Shen: "How can I ask Xiaoxi to apologize? It's obviously Xiaojing's fault, but he just made a sour face. Xiaojing, apologize to Xiaoxi."
Huo Jingchen just turned his head to the other side without saying a word. Seeing her grandson like this, Mrs. Shen had no choice but to apologize herself. Niu Cuihua and Li Mingxi didn't care about Xiaojing's situation at all. After all, everyone has a little temper.
After a while, Niu Cuihua said, "Sister, the doctor just said that Xiaojing needs to rest more. Xiaoxi must be tired from playing too. I'll take Xiaoxi back first and come back to see you in the afternoon."
Mrs. Shen: "Okay, goodbye, Xiaoxi, come play again in the afternoon."
As soon as Niu Cuihua returned to Xiaoxi's ward, she exclaimed, "That child was so beautiful!"
"By the way, Xiaoxi, grandma forgot to ask you, are you tired? Why don't you lie down on the bed and rest for a while?"
Li Mingxi: "I'm not tired, Grandma, let's go eat. I'm hungry!"
"Okay, let's go eat." Niu Cuihua thought that Xiaoxi must be hungry after being out for so long, so she took Xiaoxi to the cafeteria to eat.
After the two of them had lunch, Niu Cuihua let Xiaoxi lie down on the bed and sleep. Niu Cuihua also took the opportunity to sleep. When the two of them woke up from their lunch break, Li Aiguo and his wife had just returned.
As soon as he entered the door, Li Aiguo called out, "Mom, how is Xiaoxi this morning?"
Niu Cuihua replied casually: "It's okay, Xiaoxi is fine this morning."
Zhang Huilan: "I'm glad you're okay. I was just talking about this while we were eating. I don't know how Xiaoxi is doing."
Li Aiguo placed the bag he had just brought in in front of Niu Cuihua, "Mom, look, these are the things Huilan and I bought."
Seeing the large bag on the ground, Niu Cuihua was shocked. "Why are there so many things? Are you rich and proud?"
Li Aiguo retorted, "How could that be, Mom? I just saw that the department store was having a sale so I bought a few extra. It didn't cost that much in total."
Zhang Huilan agreed, "Yes, Mom, you may think there are so many of these things, but they're actually worthless."
"Xiao Xi, come here quickly. Look, these are the cookies and red shrimp cakes that Mom bought for you. Do you think they are delicious?"
Li Mingxi stepped forward to take the snacks and put them on the table. Every time they bought snacks for Li Mingxi, she was not in a hurry to eat them, so the others ignored her.
Li Aiguo also joined in to share the spoils, "Mom, look at this fabric, isn't it thick and strong enough? No tickets are required, each person is limited to 6 feet, and one foot is only 70 cents. Huilan and I each grabbed a spot."
Niu Cuihua looked at the blue cloth in her son's hand and said, "Well, not bad. This cloth is good. I can make two sets of clothes when I get home."
"Mom, mom, look at this and that. This kind of fabric isn't that thick. The salesperson said it was defective. The factory was anxious to get their capital back, so they sold it at a loss, only ten cents a foot. There were so many people, so we only managed to grab two pieces."
Niu Cuihua touched the unevenly dyed blue fabric and said, "This is good. My family can wear it and it can be stored."
"I bought a few more boxes of clam oil, one box each for you and my sisters-in-law." Li Aiguo said as he took out three boxes of clam oil from his pocket.
Niu Cuihua was happy in her heart, but she said, "Look at you, why are you wasting money on this? You don't need it now, and I still have some. The ones you bought last time haven't been used up yet."
Li Aiguo quipped, "Isn't this just to be prepared?"
Niu Cuihua said with a straight face, "You're the only one who loves to talk nonsense."
Li Mingxi felt very satisfied looking at his parents and grandmother with smiles on their faces. For a while, they were chatting and laughing in the room, it was so lively that he completely forgot about the appointment he had made with Mrs. Shen in the morning.
Compared with Li Mingxi's room, room 206 was much quieter. Huo Jingchen didn't like to talk much, and Mrs. Shen herself was not a talkative person, so one of them read a book with reading glasses, and the other lay on the bed in a daze. Hearing the laughter next door, Huo Jingchen felt envious.
He just casually said, "Grandma, why didn't the grandma from this morning come?"
Hearing her grandson's question, Old Lady Shen thought the sun had risen from the west. Normally, she was very frugal with words. Now that her grandson was speaking on his own initiative, it was a good sign. She must encourage and guide the child.
"Just now your uncle Xiao Wei said that Grandma Niu's son and daughter-in-law are back. I guess you forgot about it while they were talking. What's the matter? Are you thinking about that sister?" Old Mrs. Shen teased.
Hearing the old lady's joke, Huo Jingchen immediately fell silent.
Seeing that her grandson ignored her, Old Lady Shen had no choice but to say to herself: "Hey, don't say it, I miss that little girl a lot after not seeing her for a while. I'll go see her."
After saying this, Mrs. Shen got up and left the room. After a while, Huo Jingchen heard a few people in the next room starting a new conversation. After waiting for a long time, but not seeing grandma come back, Huo Jingchen thought he had been deceived and thought that the little girl was really annoying.
After an unknown amount of time, Mrs. Shen finally came back. As soon as she entered the house, she said, "Xiao Jing, grandma was so happy chatting with your grandma Niu and her family that she forgot the time and came back a little late."
"What do you think Xiaoxi looks like? Why is she so lively and cute? Why don't any of you look like her?"
Before Huo Jingchen could speak, Old Lady Shen muttered to herself again, "Oh, if we had a child like this, it would be so lively!"
Seeing that she had been talking for a long time but her grandson didn't respond, Mrs. Shen felt bored and shut up and continued reading.
What she didn't know was that, although Huo Jingchen didn't react, he had already perked up his ears, listening carefully to every word she said. But no matter how curious he was, he didn't show it. After hearing all the compliments from Old Lady Shen, he was even more certain of what he was thinking: that little girl was a nuisance, more annoying than anyone he had ever met.
As soon as they met, he attracted grandma's attention. He was also very noisy and chattered. From childhood to adulthood, he had never met such a lively and active person. It was better not to come here, so as to avoid annoying her.
Li Mingxi was completely unaware of the muttering of someone in the next ward, because her family was packing their luggage to go home.
So Dr. Zhao saw this scene as soon as he entered the ward. When he heard that Li Mingxi and the others were going home, Dr. Zhao went out to buy some things and asked them to help send them to Yang Qiangjun. By the time everything was packed, it was already late at night.
