"Dad, you're awesome! You're the best earner in our family."
Speaking of Xiaohu, Xiaohu put down his chopsticks and said in a shrill voice.
Zhou Yuan was very pleased with Xiaohu's words, so he patted Xiaohu on the shoulder and whispered, "In our family, it's not just your dad who's well-behaved; everyone is well-behaved.
Including you, Xiaohu."
"Of course I'm a good boy. Look at me. I'm as handsome as you, smart, and likable. The teachers at school often praise me, and the girls in my class all talk to me."
Xiaohu let the cat out of the bag in his excitement. Zhou Yuan didn't think anything of it, but Liu Xiaofang was shocked and asked:
"Son, you mean that the girls in your class all come to talk to you, right? You're still young, and studying is more important. Don't talk to girls unless you have nothing to do."
Xiaohu looked at his mother and said unhappily, "Mom, what are you doing? Isn't it just a few words? There's nothing between us. Besides, we are so young, what do you think we can do?"
Xiaohu's words made Liu Xiaofang feel uneasy and she wanted to say something more, but her sister Liu Xiaopan quickly tried to smooth things over:
"Okay, okay, sister, the child is still young, don't scare him. Xiaohu is so smart and sensible, I believe he won't do anything out of line, right, Xiaohu?"
Liu Xiaopan kicked Xiaohu, who chuckled and said, "Auntie, you really understand me. How could a smart kid like me do something that would make mom, auntie, and dad worry, right?"
I have to say that Xiaohu is really smart. He kicked the ball back in one go, making everyone laugh.
Zhou Yuan was the happiest one. He saw Xiaohu becoming more obedient and bigger day by day. This was his own son. How could Zhou Yuan not be happy?
However, no matter how happy he was, Zhou Yuan was having dinner with his family when his cell phone suddenly rang.
He put the cell phone next to the table. The phone rang urgently. Zhou Yuan quickly put down his chopsticks, grabbed the cell phone and pressed the answer button.
Before he could say anything, the other party started talking: "Hey, Mr. Zhou, is that you? Come to the hospital quickly! Xiaoxia is in trouble."
The call was from Zheng Qiang.
When Zhou Yuan heard this, his head buzzed. No matter what, he and Li Xiaoxia were friends.
Li Xiaoxia had helped him a lot before and could be considered his benefactor or noble person. Now that Li Xiaoxia was in trouble, he certainly couldn't just stand by and watch.
So I asked anxiously, "Which hospital is he in? What happened to him?"
"She was at the Municipal People's Hospital, out for a work inspection, when she got into a car accident. Fortunately, her injuries were not particularly serious."
After hearing the result, Zhou Yuan felt a little relieved, knowing that it was not particularly serious and should not be life-threatening.
I should go see her immediately, so I put my phone in my pocket, put down my bowl and chopsticks, stood up and said to Liu Xiaofang and Liu Xiaopan:
"Li Xiaoxia was in a car accident and is in the hospital. I want to go see her. You guys take good care of Xiaohu after dinner and go to bed early."
Zhou Yuan was about to leave when Liu Xiaopan stood up and said, "I'll go too. You've been chatting all day and sitting in the back seat. I'll drive for you. Deputy District Chief Li is a good person. I really hope she gets what she deserves. Good things come to those who are lucky."
"Thank you for your good wishes. I think so." Liu Xiaopan offered to drive her home. Zhou Yuan nodded and said, "Let's go! We'll be back soon after we go. I have to go to work tomorrow."
"Okay, I know, let's go." Li Xiaoxia snatched the car keys from someone's hand and walked out with big strides.
When the two rushed to the Municipal People's Hospital and came to the door of Li Xiaoxia's operating room, they saw a lot of people gathered in the alley, including her parents, colleagues, and some staff.
Being a leader is different, and naturally more people care about her.
Li Xiaoxia's parents knew Zhou Yuan, and Li Xiaoxia once brought him home for dinner.
So Zhou Yuan rushed over first, shook the old man's hand, and said solemnly, "Uncle and Aunt, how long have you been waiting?"
"Oh, Xiao Zhou is here too!" Li Xiaoxia's father sighed and said, "It's been a while, the surgery should be coming out soon.
It scared me so much, I almost died, but I hope it's nothing serious."
"It's okay, it's okay, it will definitely be fine." Zhou Yuan comforted Li Xiaoxia's father, and then went to comfort Li's mother, telling her not to worry.
Mother Li said with tears in her eyes: "Such a big thing happened, how could I not worry? Xiao Zhou, thank you for remembering our Xiao Xia. You two were so close back then, I really thought you two were together.
Is it because our Xiaoxia has such a bad temper that she scared you?"
It is not appropriate to talk about such things at this time, but Mother Li thinks Zhou Yuan is so outstanding and has always been optimistic about him. She did not expect that the two of them would get separated while walking. Your mother feels very sorry.
So when we met, we talked about this matter regardless of the occasion.
However, Zhou Yuan tactfully changed the subject and said, "Aunt Li, it's not entirely his fault. I'm also responsible. Perhaps we're not destined to be together."
After saying that, he sighed.
Zhou Yuan’s words made Li Xiaoxia’s mother feel the same way. Just as she was about to say something, the door of the operating room opened and two doctors and a nurse came out first.
Li Xiaoxia's father quickly went over and asked, "Doctor, how is my daughter?"
Li Xiaoxia's father was a cadre before he retired and was somewhat familiar with the doctor, so the doctor hurried over, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a sigh:
"It's okay, uncle. The operation was successful and the patient is out of danger. Don't worry, we did our best."
"Thank you, doctor, you have worked hard!"
"It's not hard. The patient will be out soon and transferred to the ward. But you can't talk to her now because she is very weak."
"Okay, we got it, thank you."
Li Xiaoxia's parents were talking to the doctor when the nurse behind them pushed him out and transferred him to the ward.
Zhou Yuan followed the crowd and wanted to go to the ward to see Li Xiaoxia, but Fuji stopped him at the door and said:
"I'm sorry, the patient is very weak. Except for family members, other personnel are requested to stay away for the time being."
After the nurse said this, she and the other people felt embarrassed to go in and had to stand at the door.
Unexpectedly, your Li Xiaoxia's parents waved to Zhou Yuan and asked him to come in.
Zheng Qiang was walking in front and wanted to go in, but was stopped. He was very angry.
He opened his eyes wide and glared at Zhou Yuan, then stood outside the door somewhat disappointed.
He arrived earlier than Zhou Yuan, but the Li family ignored him, and he was speechless!
Here, Zhou Yuan patted Liu Xiaopan on the shoulder, signaling her not to go in and wait outside, and he also entered the ward with a heavy heart.
At this time, Li Xiaoxia had been laid on the bed by the nurses, but she would soon need an IV and even oxygen, so although she was awake and had her eyes open, she could not speak.
She could only watch Zhou Yuan helplessly. Zhou Yuan stood at the head of the bed, looking at her, then nodded at her, encouraging her to rest and recover.
