Chapter 18: Friendship
In the next few days, Liu Wangxue easily developed the habit of running, and took Pengpeng out for a run every morning and evening.
Pengpeng became familiar with the new environment and became lively. At the end of the day, he would hand the leash to Liu Wangxue.
This morning, the sky was a little cloudy and it looked like it was going to rain. After Liu Wangxue finished washing up, Peng Peng was already waiting for her with the leash in his mouth. She took Peng Peng to the field to defecate first.
On the second day after arriving, Peng Peng defecated next to its nest and even went up to sniff it. Liu Wangxue was shocked when she saw it, thinking it was going to eat him, and she gave it a very serious lecture. Peng Peng felt very aggrieved, and from then on, he developed the habit of defecating outside.
After observing the dog for a few days, Gu Xuelan secretly asked Liu Nanshan, "Could this dog be a spirit? Why do I always feel like it can understand human language?"
Liu Nanshan thought it was good. It was easy to raise an obedient pet: "Dogs have intelligence, so it's better to be smarter and worry less."
Gu Xuelan stopped worrying about it.
When Liu Wangxue ran back with Pengpeng, it was finally raining in the gloomy sky. The rain got heavier and heavier and didn't stop until noon.
Liu Wangxue suddenly wanted to eat fried radish meatballs, so Liu Nanshan went to the kitchen to cut vegetables and prepare them.
Gu Xuelan has recently become fascinated with rope weaving. She bought a bunch of different kinds of yarn and followed the video to learn step by step. Liu Wangxue sat next to her and joined in the fun. Pengpeng played with his toys in the open space in the living room, occasionally bringing a ball to Liu Wangxue and letting him throw it, and he chased after her to pick it up.
Suddenly, Gu Xuelan's cell phone rang. It was Liu Wangxue's cousin calling. When she picked up the phone, she heard her anxious voice.
"Aunt, are you and uncle free recently?"
Gu Xuelan asked: "I'm free, what's wrong, Yanyan?"
"Aunt, my dad was in a car accident," Liu Yan said and started crying.
"Don't cry, don't cry. Just tell me what happened slowly." Gu Xuelan's heart suddenly tightened, but she still comforted Liu Yan.
Liu Wangxue also put his ear close.
"We rear-ended him on the highway. He's been sent to the hospital, but he's unconscious now. Shifeng and I are still abroad, so we can't go back for a while. Auntie, can you help take care of him for a few days?"
"Okay, okay," Gu Xuelan agreed, "Don't worry, your uncle and I will be there right now."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Xuelan hurried to call Liu Nanshan. Liu Wangxue took out her mobile phone and opened the ticket booking app: "Mom, I'll book a ticket now, and I'll go back with you."
Gu Xuelan said: "No need, you are a girl, you can't help much if you go, your father and I can go."
Liu Nanshan was just about to put his carrot balls into the pot when he heard this and asked, "What can I do for you?"
As soon as Gu Xuelan told him what happened, Liu Nanshan immediately turned off the fire and said to Liu Wangxue, "Your mother is right. Don't go. The meatballs haven't been put into the pot yet. Fry them yourself later."
Liu Wangxue bought tickets for the next flight, and after her parents packed some things, she drove them to the city airport.
“Woof woof!”
Pengpeng saw that they all got on the bus and called out twice anxiously.
Gu Xuelan asked: "Is it okay to leave it at home?"
Liu Wangxue remembered what Li Yu said about spending more time with the dog and taking better care of it, so she carried it to the back seat: "Just take it with you, it's in the car anyway."
When I came back from the airport, I saw that Xu Qingsong's gate was open and he seemed to have just returned and got out of the car.
Liu Wangxue greeted him and asked, "Have you been in the city these days?"
Xu Qingsong had an untidy beard and a tired look, exuding a rough and handsome ruffian air: "There's nothing we can do. Their artistic and technical abilities are too poor, so they treat me like three people."
Liu Wangxue laughed at him: "Then you can't be considered as moving bricks freely, you are still tripped by Party A."
Xu Qingsong yawned and said, "I am doing this for the sake of my friend. I will never take this kind of work again."
"You should take a rest. I won't disturb you anymore." After saying this, Liu Wangxue went to open the gate and drove in.
Xu Qingsong waved his hand, closed the door, went back to his room and fell asleep.
Having been with her parents for the past few months, Liu Wangxue felt her home was empty when they suddenly left.
After washing his hands and putting on an apron, he prepared to fry the radish balls. Liu Nanshan didn't prepare much ingredients, so he fried two small bowls. He even prepared some without seasoning for Peng Peng, and fried half a bowl.
After frying, Liu Wangxue took a photo and sent it to his father.
This thing won’t taste good if it’s kept for too long. She thought for a while and sent a photo to Xu Qingsong: [My dad’s special drink, would you like some?]
Xu Qingsong was still sleeping, so he didn't reply. She ate something and went to take a nap. When she woke up, Peng Peng was lying on the bed looking at her. She rubbed the dog's head. Peng Peng wagged his tail happily.
Liu Wangxue washed her face, took her tablet and Pengpeng to the sunroom, made a pot of tea, and watched the show together with the dog.
Liu Wangxue browsed through all the new dramas released by major platforms to understand the current trends, and then clicked on a drama with a good creative lineup and started watching.
In the evening, it started to drizzle again, and the water ripples flowed on the glass, each with a unique trajectory. Liu Wangxue turned on the lights, and the warm yellow light made this small world hazy.
There was a knock on the courtyard door. She put down the tablet and said to Peng Peng, "Wait for me here. Don't come out."
Pengpeng didn't move, Liu Wangxue ran to open the door, and outside was Xu Qingsong. After a good sleep and some cleanup, he turned into the handsome guy with sunny temperament again.
He shook his phone and said with a smile, "I'm hungry, come and eat some meatballs."
Liu Wangxue pointed to the sun room and said with a smile: "Go have a cup of tea first, I'll go to the kitchen to get it."
Xu Qingsong followed Liu Wangxue and asked, "Where are your uncle and aunt? Are they out?"
"I'm home," Liu Wangxue said, "My uncle was in a car accident, and my sister and brother-in-law are not around, so someone needs to take care of them."
"What's the situation? Is it serious?"
Liu Wangxue shook her head: "I don't know. My sister said she was still unconscious when she called. We can only know the details after they arrive."
The meatballs were not in the refrigerator, but on the dining table, covered with a vegetable cover, and had already cooled down. Liu Wangxue put them in a large bowl and heated them in the microwave.
Xu Qingsong took out his phone and swiped it, then asked, "Which hospital?"
"Um?"
"Oh," he smiled, "I have a friend who is a doctor working there, I'll see if he can help."
"Puai Hospital." Liu Wangxue took this opportunity to wash some fruit.
"What a coincidence!" Xu Qingsong sent the contact information to Liu Wangxue, "He is the chief of surgery there."
Liu Wangxue's train of thought shifted: "Friends regardless of age difference?"
"ha?"
"Sorry," she laughed to herself, "Um, generally speaking, those who can become the director of a large hospital should be quite old, right?"
Xu Qingsong was also amused. He lowered his head and typed while saying, "No, he is a genius. He comes from a medical family. He went abroad for further studies after completing his undergraduate and master's degrees. He came back and became the director. He is only 30 years old now."
