Chapter 127
When Chuxia came back and entered the ward, Lin Xiaohan just lifted the quilt and was about to get up from the bed.
Chu Xia hurried over to help him and asked him, "Where are you going?"
Lin Xiaohan said: "Go to the toilet."
So Chuxia helped him to the bathroom door.
Lin Xiaohan had a lot of external injuries, but only his left arm was broken.
Now I can walk while enduring the pain, so I can still do most things on my own.
After coming back from the toilet, Chuxia let him lie down on the hospital bed again.
After letting him lie down, Chu Xia sat down beside the bed, looked at him and asked, "Are you tired?"
He just spoke a few words, and he was in a good mood before Lin Bingwei and his family of three came, so Lin Xiaohan thought it was okay.
He shook his head, looked at Chu Xia and asked, "Are you scared after seeing such a bad family relationship with your own eyes?"
In fact, he was reluctant to let her see these terrible things, because these bad things belonged to him alone.
Chu Xia also shook her head, "I've been prepared for this. Sooner or later, we'll have to see it."
Lin Xiaohan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't give them the chance to bully you."
Chu Xia nodded at him, "Yeah, I'm relieved."
Still worried that Lin Xiaohan would get tired from talking too much, Chuxia didn't continue chatting with him.
She brought a book with her when she came, so she took out the book and sat beside the bed to read to him.
Lin Xiaohan was in poor health and went to bed early at night.
Chuxia stayed in the ward with him, sleeping on a companion bed next to him which was smaller than the hospital bed.
The next morning, I woke up to the sound of people talking outside the ward.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Lin Xiaohan lying on the hospital bed next to her with his eyes open, staring at her without blinking, as if he had been awake and looking at her for a long time.
The sleepiness in my brain has not yet completely dissipated.
After looking at Lin Xiaohan for a moment in a slightly dazed state, the door of the ward suddenly opened.
Chuxia came to her senses, turned around and saw that it was the nurse coming in to check on the ward.
I feel a little embarrassed.
Chuxia got up quickly and made her bed.
After the nurse finished her rounds and left, she helped Lin Xiaohan get up and wash up.
The two went to the bathroom, squeezed toothpaste together, fetched water together, and stood in front of the sink to brush their teeth together.
When they were brushing their teeth, they met each other's eyes and smiled at each other.
Chu Xia first rinsed her mouth with water, then asked Lin Xiaohan: "What are you laughing at?"
Lin Xiaohan rinsed his mouth and said, "There's no reason. I just want to laugh when I see you."
After answering, he asked Chu Xia again: "What about you?"
Chu Xia said, "I suddenly remembered that when we were in the educated youth camp, you and I woke up early in the morning, and then we brushed our teeth next to the water well. Later, we moved to the dormitory next to the school, and after getting up in the morning, we also brushed our teeth together outside the dormitory."
Those scenes were repeated countless times, and Lin Xiaohan certainly remembered them all.
The two of them brush their teeth together, cook together, eat together, and go to school together.
Thinking of these, I can’t help but think of the beginning.
At the beginning, he disliked Chuxia for being stupid, and Chuxia hated him as much as everyone else.
Then one day, Chuxia suddenly started pestering him.
After that, she squeezed into his life little by little, until now she filled his life.
***
Lin Xiaohan still has to lie down and recuperate.
After Chuxia helped him wash up, she helped him back to the bed.
He had just laid down on the bed with the pillow behind him when the door of the ward opened from the outside again.
This time, the person who came in was not a nurse or a doctor, but Tang Haikuan, who was holding a thermos lunch box.
Seeing Tang Haikuan, Lin Xiaohan called out, "Uncle."
Tang Haikuan responded by telling him not to move, picked up the insulated lunch box and put it on the bedside cabinet, saying: "I cooked some breakfast for you, you two can eat together, I will bring you more at noon."
He also has to take care of things in the restaurant.
Chu Xia said hurriedly, "Dad, you don't have to bring it again. I'll go back and get it when it's almost noon. I took leave just to do these things. You just need to do your own things and don't get too tired."
Since she is his own daughter, Tang Haikuan doesn't need to be polite.
So he responded directly: "Okay, then I'll go back now."
After Tang Haikuan left, Chu Xia and Lin Xiaohan had breakfast together.
There was nothing else to do in the morning. Lin Xiaohan was lying on the hospital bed receiving an infusion, while Chuxia sat beside the bed and chatted with him, or continued to read to him.
By noon, all the water had been hung up.
Chuxia let Lin Xiaohan rest for a while, and she took the insulated lunch box home to get some food.

Outside the hospital gate.
Get on your bike and hit the road in early summer.
Not long after riding the bicycle, I met Lu Fangying who was walking on the opposite side of the road.
Chuxia was riding her bike and didn't look across the road, but Lu Fangying saw her.
Seeing early summer passing by, Lu Fangying subconsciously stopped.
Then just in time another taxi came towards her, so she quickly ran over and hailed it.
Because of the taxi accident that happened the day before yesterday, pictures of the scene were published in the newspaper. Now when Lu Fangying saw the identical yellow taxi again, she couldn't help but feel scared.
But after a little hesitation, she got into a taxi.
After getting in the car and closing the door, she said to the driver in front of her: "Please just follow the girl riding the bike in front, the one wearing a beige sweater, and see where she goes."
The driver responded with "OK" and drove ahead.
Lu Fangying originally planned to go to the hospital ward and ask about Chuxia's family situation in person.
But just in time for Chu Xia to come out, she immediately changed her mind and thought about just following her to see it. If she asked in person, she would have to look at her and Lin Xiaohan's expressions and be treated harshly by them.
The taxi followed Chuxia to Tianxian Temple and stopped, and Lu Fangying paid the fare.
After getting off the bus, she stood at the entrance of the alley and looked inside. She saw this slightly shabby alley, and inside it was a private restaurant that was famous in the city. Then she saw Chuxia pushing her cart outside the door of the restaurant and entering the restaurant carrying a thermos lunch box. She couldn't help laughing out loud.
Is this Lin Xiaohan’s vision?
Looking for a partner, and found someone with a family like this?
From childhood to adulthood, he has been acting like a big shot, never looking people in the eye. He thought he had high standards, but in the end, is this all he has?
***
Zhengyang Hotel.
Tang Haikuan had already prepared lunch for Chuxia and Lin Xiaohan.
Chuxia took the insulated lunch box to the kitchen to get some food.
While Tang Haikuan was busy cooking, he said to her, "Xia Xia, have you read today's newspaper? The cause of the accident has been published."
I didn't see it in the hospital in early summer.
She turned to look at Tang Haikuan and asked, "What's the reason?"
Before Tang Haikuan could answer, he turned around and saw Wu Xuemei coming in with a newspaper.
Wu Xuemei put the newspaper in Chuxia's hand and said angrily, "It's so hateful! The reason is very simple. It's not a terrorist attack as everyone guessed. It has nothing to do with politics, nor is it a retaliatory action by other countries. It's because the team changed the rules. Drivers who do a good job will be rewarded, and those who do a bad job and fail to complete the task will be fined. This driver was deducted 30 yuan for not completing the task. The team leader also said that 20 yuan of it would not be deducted if he completed the task next month. As a result, he was very dissatisfied and irritable. The leader was afraid that he would get into trouble if he drove like this, so he temporarily suspended his work. Then he secretly drove the car of a colleague who was returning to the team and did this. Among the people killed, there was an unmarried couple who were about to get married. The woman is gone, and there was also a PLA soldier."
Chuxia felt a chill in her heart as she read the newspaper, and she also felt a chill in her heart as she listened to what Wu Xuemei said.
When she saw these things, while she felt pity and heartache for others, the person she thought about most was naturally Lin Xiaohan.
So she took a deep breath, and without standing to talk to Wu Xuemei about this matter, she handed the newspaper to Wu Xuemei, quickly filled her meal and said, "Mom and Dad, I'm going back to the hospital first."
Wu Xuemei saw her off and told her, "Ride slowly on the road."
Chu Xia said, "I'll go slower."
In the restaurant, people eating were still discussing the accident.
"It's really not a big deal, but his personality is so extreme."
"Five people have died so far, and there are still people who are seriously injured and need to be rescued. It is not certain that all of them can be saved."
"This deserves to be shot, right?"
"He won't be shot for this? He will definitely be shot for this."
…
***
In the afternoon before work.
The office of the director of Wanfeng Canteen Products Factory.
Lu Fangying sat opposite Lin Bingwei and said to him, "I followed her to Tianxian Temple and asked some people in the alley. The girl's family is not very respectable. Both of her parents don't have proper jobs. The couple opened a restaurant at home. It was the first private restaurant that everyone in the city knew about two years ago."
It doesn’t matter whether it is the first or the second one.
Opening a restaurant is not something a serious person would do.
If there is a proper job with a decent salary, who would do these messy things?
So Lin Bingwei said after hearing this: "Is this how he chooses a partner?"
Lu Fangying sighed softly and said, "I have always thought that Xiaohan is a child with high aspirations and high standards. He usually doesn't like this or that. Who would have thought that he would be so picky in choosing a partner? With his current conditions, what kind of person can he find? I heard that when these unmarried college students are assigned to work units, their leaders will help introduce them to partners, and the introductions are all daughters of big leaders. Who would have known that he would pick a girl whose family runs a restaurant."
Lin Bingwei took a breath and continued, "In the final analysis, he is just a loser. He is a good student from a prestigious university and got a good job after graduation, but he insisted on getting involved with such a family. Such a family is lucky enough not to hold him back. What good can it do for him?"
Lu Fangying felt pretty good.
But she pretended to sigh and continued, "It's useless for us to talk. He must like this girl. This girl herself is quite good and pretty."
Lin Bingwei: "With such a family, such upbringing, and such people in the family, she has no use for any conditions. He doesn't feel ashamed to have such an in-law, but I do."
