Chapter 916 Daughter-in-law Feeding Plan
The saddest thing in life is to see the young die before the old.
Although Mr. Xi did not send Xi Xiaoran away, his own son had been crazy for more than 20 years, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to him.
All those years, Old Man Xi had already prepared himself for Xi Xiaoran to go insane for the rest of his life. But he never expected that fate would be kind to him. Suddenly, a granddaughter-in-law with incredible medical skills appeared, and cured his son with just a few injections.
At this time, Mr. Xi looked at the neatly arranged family, and his introverted and shrewd old eyes gradually turned red.
He turned and looked at Ruan Qi while holding the cup.
"Xiao Qi, it's all thanks to you that our Xi family is so reunited today. Thank you for your hard work."
Ruan Qi quickly picked up the orange juice and said, "Grandpa Xi, please don't say that. I promised you before that I would be responsible for Jiujiu. This is what I should do!"
The little girl spoke seriously, and Mr. Xi couldn't help but smile in his red eyes.
"Okay, we're all family, so grandpa won't thank you. But Xiao Ran," he turned to look at Xi Xiao Ran, "you have to remember that it was Xiao Qi who saved you. From now on, you have to treat her as your own daughter! And Duan Wei, she's been taking care of you all these years. Xiao Ran, don't let her down in the future."
"Yes." Xi Xiaoran held Duan Wei's hand tightly under the table, his elegant and gentle dark eyes revealing determination. "From now on, I will protect you from the wind and rain."
Duan Wei, who was usually indifferent and taciturn, suddenly had red eyes.
A warm and touching atmosphere quietly flowed among the family.
Mr. Xi wiped away his tears and drank the wine in his glass. "Come! Let's eat!"
…
This was the most...busy meal Ruan Qi had ever had at the Xi family.
The four members of the Xi family took turns serving food to her. Duan Wei, in particular, was even more attentive and considerate than Grandma Ruan and her mother, Yang Liu.
During the meal, Ruan Qi didn't even stretch out her arms, as all the dishes she liked were picked up and put into her bowl by Duan Wei.
"Auntie, I'm full." The little girl finished the last shrimp, touched her belly, and said to Duan Wei with a well-behaved face.
Duan Wei paused, turned her arm, and threw the vegetable she had just picked up with chopsticks into Xi Xiaoran's bowl.
Xi Xiaoran, who was forced to eat his daughter-in-law's leftovers, said: "..."
He ate the vegetables silently, then looked at Duan Wei with resentment.
Duan Wei coldly ignored her husband's gaze and asked Ruan Qi in a calm tone, "Are you really full?"
Ruan Qi nodded vigorously.
"I'm really full. I'm stuffed."
Duan Wei took a look at the little girl's belly, which was indeed a little bigger than before she had dinner.
But still too thin.
Duan Wei frowned and began to think about how to make her daughter-in-law plump and healthy.
Ruan Qi didn't know her mother-in-law had already started preparing the feeding plan. She took a sip of orange juice and heard Xi Xiaoran across from her say, "Xiao Qi, how are your grandparents doing lately?"
"They're fine." Ruan Qi put down the cup. "I just video-called them yesterday. Grandpa and grandma are in great health. They were even working in the fields a few days ago."
Xi Xiaoran had already learned from Old Man Xi that Ruan Qi came from a rural background. He had no complaints about this, nor did he think there was anything wrong with his son marrying a rural girl.
"As long as you're healthy." He nodded, then hesitated for two seconds, "Um... Xiao Qi."
Ruan Qi: "What's wrong, uncle?"
Xi Xiaoran looked at the well-behaved girl and coughed awkwardly, "Um... you and Lao Jiu have been together for almost a year. Um, about the marriage..."

Xi Jiu: Dad, don’t stop, continue your speech!
—I chopped off my finger while cutting vegetables today. [Covering my face] The wound was pretty deep, but luckily the bone wasn't damaged. The blood was just a little scary. I've already done a simple disinfection and bandage, so it should be fine. Maybe it's because of too many setbacks lately, plus going to the hospital every day, so I've been a little dazed and absent-minded. Today, I went to the author group to peek at their screens and watch them chatting, and I suddenly felt out of place. It's like... I'm getting further and further away from the simple life of writing every day.
I don't want to go on like this. Maybe I don't have the positive attitude to get rid of the pain immediately, but at least... I don't want to be too miserable.
I don’t know how many readers are still with me, but no matter what, thank you for being with me through this difficult time.
