Dong Yuanxiang turned the light back on after she had just turned it off, and then hesitated before looking back.
The dolls in the room were still placed where she had put them before, and even the newly placed rag dolls were quietly on the shelf.
It was as if the "Mom" she had just heard was just a hallucination.
Dong Yuanxiang chuckled self-deprecatingly, then turned off the light and closed the door again: "Looks like I'll have to quit this fake self."
They were so exhausted that they started experiencing hallucinations and auditory hallucinations.
Having finally been able to rest, Dong Yuanxiang slept soundly in the middle of the night.
Grandma Lou got thirsty and went to get a drink of water. As she passed by the children's room, she suddenly heard a crackling sound coming from inside.
Grandma Lou stopped in her tracks, rubbed her eyes, opened the door to the room, and saw dolls scattered all over the floor.
The dolls that she and Dong Yuanxiang used to put on the shelf all fell down and covered the floor.
"My goodness!" Grandma Lou was startled awake and hurriedly and carefully picked up the dolls that had fallen to the ground one by one: "How strange, how did they all fall down?"
We don't keep cats or dogs at home, and there are no mice!
Could it be that the frame has become loose?
But she remembered that small railings had been added to the outside of these shelves, just in case people accidentally dropped the dolls when they passed by.
Grandma Lou was puzzled, but she worked quickly, putting the dolls back in their original places one by one.
After all, her career-driven daughter-in-law's only hobby is collecting dolls, and these dolls are incredibly expensive, so she has to take good care of them.
Finally, Grandma Lou picked up a new doll from the very bottom of the pile, a doll she had never seen before.
Upon seeing the doll, Grandma Lou couldn't help but show a hint of disgust on her face, muttering, "Why did I buy something from the Japanese? It doesn't look like something from the mortal world."
She disliked it, but she wouldn't throw it away. She just put the doll at the very back of the shelf, out of sight, out of mind.
The dolls in the room witnessed Grandma Lou's actions, and the smiles on their faces seemed to widen considerably.
Grandma Lou, oblivious to what was happening, finished arranging all the dolls and left the dollhouse, rubbing her aching back. "It was exhausting," she said. "I'll have to talk to Xiangxiang tomorrow and tell her to put the dolls away more carefully next time we buy them..."
The door clicked shut.
The red-clad doll placed at the very back by Grandma Lou stared intently at her back, a flash of red light appearing in its eyes.
Grandma Lou was about to get a drink of water when she suddenly stepped on something soft and slippery. Before she could even see what it was, she fell forward.
Just as Grandma Lou's forehead was about to hit the corner of the coffee table, the cartoon business card that Dong Yuanxiang had casually placed on the coffee table emitted a faint golden light.
Grandma Lou felt as if she was pushed, her forehead avoiding the coffee table, and she inevitably fell to the ground with a loud thud.
The pain in her leg made Grandma Lou groan involuntarily, "Ouch...ouch..."
Lou Yuqi, who had been lulled to sleep, was startled awake by the screams. He hurriedly threw off the thin blanket and ran outside. When he saw his grandmother lying on the ground, he was horrified: "Grandma!!"
He rushed to Grandma Lou's side in a panic, trying to help her up, but because he was too weak, he couldn't lift her at all, and started crying as he knocked on the master bedroom door.
The Lou family, which had been quiet, was instantly thrown into chaos.
the next day.
When Nan Yuanman arrived at the kindergarten, she discovered that Lou Yuqi was not there when class started.
After class, she went to ask Teacher Li, who said, "Lou Yuqi's grandmother fell down and was taken to the hospital last night. He took leave to be with his grandmother."
Nan Yuanman frowned instantly. Her intuition told her that Grandma Lou's accident was related to the rag doll that Lou Yuqi had brought.
"Teacher Li, could you give me Lou Yuqi's contact information? I want to call and comfort him."
Without much thought, Teacher Li gave Nan Yuanman the phone number of Lou Yuqi's grandmother.
During his free time at Namgyal Mandarin, he found a quiet place and used his watch to dial a phone number.
At that moment, Dong Yuanxiang and Lou Haoyu, who had been busy all night, finally had time to stop.
Grandma Lou's bones are brittle, and she fractured her thigh bone in the fall. She underwent surgery all night and has only now been transferred back to her ward.
Dong Yuanxiang was relieved that she and her husband had already returned from their business trip. If only Grandma Lou and Lou Yuqi were at home, this fall could have caused a major incident.
"Ah Xiang, you and Yuqi wait in the ward. I'll go buy you breakfast." Lou Haoyu washed his face with cold water, said goodbye to Dong Yuanxiang, and left the ward.
With tears welling up in his eyes, Lou Yuqi sat obediently beside the hospital bed, looking at his grandmother who was pale and still under the effects of anesthesia. The little boy was filled with lingering fear.
He dared not imagine what would have happened if he hadn't been woken up, and his grandmother had fallen and lay there all night...
Does that mean he doesn't have a grandmother anymore...?
Dong Yuanxiang knew he was frightened, so she went over and gently hugged him, softly comforting him, "Yuqi, don't be afraid, Grandma will be alright."
"Waaaaah, Mom..." Lou Yuqi hugged his mother with teary eyes, just about to cry, when the phone on the bedside table suddenly rang.
Dong Yuanxiang gently patted his back with one hand and answered the phone with the other: "Hello?"
Nan Yuanman paused for a moment after hearing the gentle female voice coming from the other end of the phone before politely saying, "Hello, Auntie, I'm Lou Yuqi's friend. I'm looking for Lou Yuqi."
Upon hearing her voice, Lou Yuqi instantly perked up, broke free from his mother's embrace, and cried out, "Big brother! Waaaaah, big brother!"
Dong Yuanxiang didn't expect that the caller would be a child. Hearing Lou Yuqi's loud and energetic voice, she quickly handed the phone to him.
Lou Yuqi rattled off, "Boss, my grandma fell down! I'm so scared, waaaaah..."
Nan Yuanman skillfully comforted him, then asked, "Did anything strange happen when your grandmother fell?"
Lou Yuqi was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head: "I...I don't know...I was asleep at that time, and I was woken up by the sound of Grandma falling down."
Nan Yuanman: "Wait until your grandma wakes up and ask her... Never mind, is today convenient? I'll come to your house to check on her."
Lou Yuqi's eyes lit up instantly. He nodded vigorously, then realized that Nan Yuanman couldn't see, and quickly said, "Convenient! Very convenient! Boss, come on over!"
Lou Yuqi chattered on and on about his lingering fears to Nan Yuanman until she couldn't take it anymore and hung up the phone. Only then did Lou Yuqi happily say to Dong Yuanxiang, "Mom, my eldest son wants to come over tonight, is that alright?"
Dong Yuanxiang already felt guilty towards Lou Yuqi, so she naturally agreed to his request: "Okay."
It just so happened that her husband was also on holiday, so he could stay at home to take care of his mother in the evening while she stayed home to take care of the children.
So, after Lou Haoyu returned with breakfast, she told him, and after Grandma Lou woke up from her coma, she took Lou Yuqi home when it was almost time.
The mother and son had just returned home, and before they even entered the house, they suddenly heard a faint singing voice coming from inside: "Mud doll, mud doll."
A mud doll
I became her mother
I became her father
I will love her forever…
