Li Xueyao obediently handed the things in her hand to Li Zichen, then affectionately took Su Nuoyi's arm and walked to the coffee table together. She also thoughtfully brought out a small stool and said sweetly, "Aunt, Sister Yiyi also has a leg pain."
Xu Jiaojiao waved her hands helplessly, complaining with a worried look on her face, "It hurts even more. I can't even move right now, Yaoyao baby."
Li Xueyao looked at Xu Jiaojiao's awkward and uncomfortable sitting posture, pursed her lips, and said seriously, "Auntie should exercise more."
Li Zichen glared at Li Xueyao slightly, signaling her with his eyes to stop talking. Li Xueyao sat obediently next to Su Nuoyi, lowered her head and stopped talking, and ate breakfast quietly. Li Zichen carefully placed the breakfast on the table. As Xu Jiaojiao tried to straighten her waist, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her legs. This time, she gritted her teeth and forced herself not to scream, but the painful and distorted expression on her face fully demonstrated the severity of her pain at this time.
Seeing this, Li Xueyao quickly shut up and ate her breakfast in silence. Seeing her mother struggling, Su Nuoyi quickly finished her own breakfast and then walked over to Xu Jiaojiao with the food. Xu Jiaojiao reached out to take it, then leaned back and ate with great effort and difficulty.
Su Le couldn't bear to watch this anymore, so he picked up the spoon and fed her mouthful by mouthful. He couldn't help but scold her, "You are too weak!"
Xu Jiaojiao couldn't eat anymore after eating half of it. She waved her hand at Su Le and said confidently, "I know. I will exercise every day after I go back." She tried to interrupt the blame that Su Le might say next.
Su Le and Li Zichen cleared the table. Su Le couldn't help but complain: "You can't do anything like this, and you let Yi Yi, a child, take care of you."
Xu Jiaojiao quickly said, "I know, I know. I will definitely exercise when I get back, every day. I will definitely do what I say."
Seeing this, Su Le stopped talking. She thought to herself, she'd been out for a few days, and the PHS system still seemed to be unsuccessful, with the progress bar still at zero. She'd just treat it as a break, she consoled herself, excused herself to the bathroom, pulled out her iPhone, and logged into her chat app. Suddenly, the message notifications started beeping non-stop.
Su Le looked at the messages that came pouring in, carefully replying to each one. Su Fugui and Chen Yao's accounts kept sending her messages, asking about the scenery and the well-being of their three children.
Su Le meticulously shared the photos she'd taken, one by one, in their group chat. Since becoming proficient in technology, she'd completely overhauled their phones, allowing for convenient online communication. But they all knew the iPhone wasn't officially released yet, so this was a secret they kept to themselves and couldn't reveal to anyone else. They had to wait until the power plant Su Le had arranged for Li Chuyang was operational before they could officially use it.
Su Fugui and Chen Yao sat on their bed, looking at photos of their granddaughter, grandson, and granddaughter, their eyes narrowed with smiles, and they were full of praise for the pristine, untouched scenery. They lamented that the scenery later became more commercialized and far less pristine and natural, full of natural charm and flavor.
Seeing that the two did not reply, Su Le flushed the toilet and walked out. He saw Li Xueyao and Li Chuyang teaching Su Nuoyi some stretching movements and gentle kneading techniques, which were all valuable experiences accumulated through many training sessions.
Xu Jiaojiao was still slumped on the sofa. Su Le turned around and went back to his home. He brought Xu Jiaojiao a few novels. He came back and said with a smile, "If you feel bored recently, read these."
"Le Le, you understand me so well. I can only stare at the ceiling in a daze. It's so boring." Xu Jiaojiao took the book gratefully, and then took out one impatiently and began to read it with relish.
Su Le also brought Li Zichen some of his favorite military books. Although Li Zichen had retired from the army, his bookshelf was full of such books.
"We can eat noodles in the evening. It's okay to heat them up." Su Le suggested.
Everyone nodded in agreement. Xu Jiaojiao leaned back contentedly, a happy smile on her face, and said, "This meal is really filling. I feel full of energy."
Li Chuyang patted his round belly, his eyes sparkling as he said happily, "Mom, I'm so satisfied now. My belly is about to burst."
Su Nuoyi smiled and continued, "I felt the same way, but these delicacies were too delicious and I couldn't help but eat too much."
Xu Jiaojiao turned to look at the children and said gently, "Then you must digest your food well, otherwise you may not be able to eat noodles tonight."
Li Xueyao jumped and said, "It's okay, I can still eat it." Everyone laughed at her cute appearance.
Xu Jiaojiao turned to Su Le and Li Zichen and said, "When my leg heals, let's go somewhere more interesting."
Su Le thought for a moment and said, "How about we go to the beach next time? The children can play on the beach to their heart's content."
Li Chuyang clapped his hands excitedly, "Great, great! I want to build a sand castle!"
Sunoy also said with anticipation: "You can also pick up shells!"
Li Xueyao blinked her bright eyes and asked, "Can we see dolphins?"
Xu Jiaojiao smiled and replied, "Maybe, if we're lucky enough."
Everyone chatted about their future travel plans, the atmosphere warm and welcoming. The warm sunlight streamed in from the windows, illuminating everyone and casting a gentle glow over them.
The three children started playing with their toys, their laughter and noises mixing together. Xu Jiaojiao remained seated, chatting with Su Le and Li Zichen about the details of their trip.
Xu Jiaojiao said: "If you go to the beach, you must prepare sunscreen for the children to prevent them from getting sunburned."
Li Zichen nodded and replied, "That's right, and we also need to bring swimming rings to ensure the safety of the children."
Su Le continued, "We also need to prepare some emergency medicines in case of any emergency."
In this way, everyone was looking forward to the future journey while enjoying this warm afternoon.
Five days of such peace and warmth passed by unknowingly. Xu Jiaojiao's legs finally got better. She could slowly walk up the stairs and walk normally. However, she still felt a dull pain every time she walked for a long time.
