The time flew by as the Li brothers played games. By the time Xiao Yanbao left, already yawning repeatedly, Ling Feng was still happily playing in the canyon with Li Muxing and the others.
Even when Xiao Yanbao finished washing up and went out into the yard the next morning, Ling Feng and Li Muxing were still asleep. It wasn't until breakfast was laid out that Liang Xunling saw that they hadn't gotten up yet, so she rushed into the bedroom, grabbed Li Muxing's ear, and dragged them out of bed.
"What did you do last night? I've called you so many times, but you still won't get up!"
When Xiao Yanbao heard Liang Xunling's voice, he quickly turned his head to look. He saw Li Muxing and the others with dark circles under their eyes, looking dazed at their mother who was scolding them. Even the pain of having their ears pulled couldn't fully wake them up.
"Mom, please don't call us anymore. We're not going to eat breakfast. We'll just go straight to the car when we leave, and we'll be home by the time we wake up."
As soon as Li Muchen finished speaking, he was kicked by Liang Xunling, who then angrily said with a stern face.
"Sleep for whoever wants to sleep! Hurry up and eat, everyone. Were you playing games last night?"
Upon hearing the words "playing games," the four brothers, including Li Muxing and Li Muchen, all lit up, seemingly snapping out of their daze. They then quickly walked into the kitchen.
Hello, brothers!
As soon as the group entered the kitchen, Xiao Yanbao greeted them sweetly.
Li Muchen rushed over to Xiao Yanbao and plopped down next to him. Li Muxing was about to fight him for the seat, but was stopped by a stern glare from Liang Xunling.
Soon, everyone finished breakfast. After Liang Xunling and Zhong Jingyi went to the main hall to say goodbye to Master Xu, the group boarded the car for their return journey from the temple gate.
Because of the severe internal injuries he suffered yesterday, Master Xu did not go out to see off the Li family. Only the eldest brother and Ling Qi stood at the entrance of the Taoist temple and waved goodbye to everyone.
Just a hundred or two meters away from the Taoist temple, Ling Feng, with dark circles under his eyes, rushed out and jumped and waved his hands vigorously in the direction the Li family had left.
Hey bro, don't forget me!
When the eldest brother heard the words "old buddy," his eyes changed, but he assumed that Ling Feng was reluctant to part with the brothers of the Li family, so he did not reprimand them.
After a long time, the Li family's car had left the mountainous area and entered the highway. All the children of the Li family had fallen asleep. Li Muxing and Li Muchen were asleep because they had stayed up late playing games, while the others were asleep because they had watched Li Muchen and the others play games.
Perhaps because they traveled faster on the way back, they entered the ring road of the capital city at around 3 p.m. Just then, Zhong Jingyi's phone rang. When she took it out, she found that it was Li Qicheng calling.
Where are you?
Zhong Jingyi glanced at Li Mulang, who was fast asleep in her arms, and whispered...
"We're already on the ring road, what's wrong?"
"Dad's awake and he's making a fuss about seeing Xiaoyanbao. Don't go home yet, come straight here..."
Before Li Qicheng could finish speaking, Zhong Jingyi interrupted him, saying:
"We'll go straight to the hospital, we'll be there soon. Get Dad something to eat first, we'll feed him when we get there!"
Just woken up by Zhong Jingyi's phone call, Xiao Yanbao turned her head, rubbed her eyes, and asked curiously.
"What's wrong, Mom?"
After hearing that Li Qicheng had hung up the phone, Zhong Jingyi turned around and looked at Xiao Yanbao, saying softly...
"Grandpa's awake! Let's go to the hospital to see him!"
When Xiao Yanbao heard that his grandfather had woken up, he almost cried out in surprise. He then quickly sent the news to the WeChat group he had created with his older brothers.
The first to see the message was Li Muhao, who immediately messaged each of his brothers in the group chat. When no one responded, he called out to Li Muxing and Li Muchen, who were sitting in the same car as him.
Then the three eldest brothers started talking in the group chat. Not long after, the other brothers were also woken up by their vibrating phones. When they checked their phone's chat history, the pinned message in the group chat was that their grandfather had woken up.
"I didn't even wash my face this morning, and my dark circles are so big. How am I going to see Grandpa later?"
Li Mufeng sent a voice message in the group with a helpless expression, but his brothers ignored him and instead started discussing what to say to their grandfather when they met him, or what kind of performance to put on.
More than half an hour later, five cars arrived at the underground parking lot of the special care ward. When the seven brothers lined up and arrived at the ward door led by Xiao Yanbao, they heard the old man shouting loudly in the ward.
"Where is my precious Yanbao? Where did you take her? I want to see her!"
Li Qirui and Li Qicheng tried to persuade him carefully, but the old man remained fiery.
When Xiao Yanbao heard that her grandfather was looking for her, she immediately went forward, pushed open the door, and called out sweetly.
"grandfather!"
The old man of the Li family suddenly turned around, and when he saw Xiao Yanbao, he became very excited, and his eyes seemed to shine.
Just as the old man reached out to hug Xiao Yanbao, his seven older brothers followed behind him, lining up and walking in with helpless expressions.
They were excitedly anticipating what they would say to their grandfather, but they never expected that he had no intention of seeing them at all.
Even after they entered the room, the old man's gaze remained fixed on Xiao Yanbao, and he didn't even look up at them.
However, Li Muxing and his brothers couldn't stop greeting their grandfather because of this; they could only greet him with smiles. The old man, however, spoke with some impatience.
"Alright! Alright, I see you guys. What are you doing here, you bunch of brats? You're wasting my time with my little darling Yanbao."
Forehead……
All the brothers fell silent, eager to leave the ward as soon as possible. Just then, Liang Xunling and Zhong Jingyi walked in carrying Xiao Mulang.
Li Mulang seemed to be learning to speak. He kept clapping his hands while looking at the old man of the Li family, and kept making "ah ah ah" sounds, as if he was asking the old man to hug him.
"Oh, little Mulang knows to look for Grandpa now? Come here, let Grandpa give you a hug!"
As the old man spoke, he switched to holding Xiao Yanbao in one arm and tried to pull Li Mulang into his arms with the other, but unexpectedly, Xiao Mulang grabbed Xiao Yanbao's arm.
It turned out that Xiao Mulang just wanted to find his older sister, not his grandfather. This scene made all the brothers who were staring at their grandfather laugh.
The old man glared angrily at Xiao Mulang, but he couldn't bear to hand Xiao Mulang over to Zhong Jingyi, so he let Xiao Mulang play with Xiao Yanbao in his arms.
When Li Qirui and Li Qicheng saw the old man holding two children at once, they immediately stepped forward to help support his arms, afraid that the old man would fall.
