Chapter 149 Stand Up

When Xiao Qingru received the wedding candy sent by Song Yuan, it was already more than half a month later.

She was unable to leave and return to the northwest to attend the wedding, but she still went to the mall to pick out a wedding gift for Song Yuan.

It's a braj dress.

A handwritten letter was also sent along with it.

This is the only way I can wish Song Yuan in person.

After sending the things back home, Xiao Qingru suddenly smiled when she saw Xu Muzhou waiting for her in a wheelchair.

Although her current life is bitter, she can always find a piece of sugar in Xu Muzhou.

Eating is bitter.

Days go by.

Xu Muzhou's condition began to improve.

It was two years later that I stood up again.

At this time, Xiao Huaishu had been transferred to Beijing and married Fang Yingqiu.

Xiao's parents are still staying in the southwest, and will come to Beijing to live out their lives when Xiao's father retires.

It was a day off, and Xiao Huaishu and his wife came to Xu's house to visit Xiao Qingru and Xu Muzhou as usual.

The couple brought a lot of things, including meat, eggs, and nutritional supplements such as maltose.

When he entered the Xu family's yard, he saw Xu Muzhou standing up with the help of a walker. Xiao Huaishu stood there in a daze.

As if he dared not believe his eyes, he rubbed them with his hands.

You're not mistaken, Xu Muzhou really stood up!

Realizing this, Xiao Huaishu was overwhelmed with joy.

He put the things aside and walked quickly towards Xu Muzhou.

"When will you be able to stand up? How come I haven't heard any news? You are so righteous. You kept such a big thing a secret."

Xiao Huaishu reached out to pat Xu Muzhou on the shoulder, but was stopped by Xiao Qingru, "Brother, he is still standing steadily now."

"You are the kind of person who doesn't hold back when it comes to hitting me. Xiao Qingru, you are too biased."

Xiao Qingru ignored him and moved a chair for Fang Yingqiu, "Sister-in-law, you two sit down for a while, I'll go cook."

"You should also go and help, so that they can talk."

"That's fine."

Xiao Qingru glanced at Xu Muzhou and said, "Be careful. Don't rush to walk. Practice standing first as the doctor has instructed."

Xu Muzhou's eyes and eyebrows were warm, and he did not show any of the depression that comes from a long-term illness.

The look in his eyes when he looked at Xiao Qingru was full of dependence. "You know, something bad will happen."

Xiao Qingru placed a chair of suitable height behind him and said, "If you are tired, sit down and take a rest."

"good."

Witnessing all this, Xiao Huaishu thought that his sister was finally getting her due.

Xiao Qingru saw everything about how she took care of Xu Muzhou in the past two years.

Others praised her as a good woman and left her husband.

But the Xiao family really felt sorry for her.

It is very difficult to take care of a patient whose lower limbs cannot move.

Fortunately, everything is in the past.

Xiao Huaishu asked Xu Muzhou, "Have you told your parents that you can stand up?"

"I said I would call you that day."

In the past two years, his father-in-law and mother-in-law have been very concerned about his situation. In order to reassure them, he called Southwest as soon as possible.

After standing for a while, Xu Muzhou sat down.

Recovery is a gradual process, there is no need to rush.

Xiao Huaishu said: "To be honest, I never thought you could stand up."

Xu Muzhou curled his lips, "I was surprised too."

Two years may seem short to others, but to Xu Muzhou it is extremely long.

He had been depressed during this period, but as long as he thought of everything Xiao Qingru had done for him, he would never dare to give up.

With a glimmer of faith, he finally stood up.

"You have to be nicer to Qingru from now on. If you dare to bully her, I will never forgive you."

Xu Muzhou smiled and said, "She is the boss of the family, how can she turn the tables?"

"That's still a long way off."

The two were talking outside, while Xiao Qingru and Fang Yingqiu were still in Xu's mother's kitchen making dumplings.

The beef used was the one brought by Xiao Huaishu and his team. Each piece of beef had a thin skin and lots of fillings, and looked very delicious.

Xiao Qingru used to do housework, but not as skillfully as she is now.

Fang Yingqiu watched, feeling quite upset.

Although she had spent a long time with Xiao Qingru, she also knew that this was a child raised by the Xiao family.

How much hardship must she have endured in the past two years to develop the ability to work efficiently?

Fang Yingqiu admired Xiao Qingru, and if they needed help in the future, she would never refuse.

After wrapping the dumplings, Xu's mother said, "Qingru, you two go outside and chat for a while. I'll steam the dumplings and we can have dinner soon."

Xiao Qingru glanced at her watch and said, "Wait a little longer. Dad should be home in another hour."

"It's okay, let's eat first, and save some for your dad later.

It’s OK.”

As she spoke, Xu's mother had already steamed the dumplings.

The smile on her face never faded. She wished Huaishu and his wife would come to their house more often.

If the atmosphere is more lively, my son will be in a better mood.

Once you are in a good mood, you will recover faster.

In Xu's mother's opinion, if it weren't for the support of her daughter-in-law, the Xiao family, her own bad boy would not have recovered so quickly in the past two years.

The Xu couple originally had a very good impression of the Xiao family, and after this incident, their impression reached its peak.

They had no way to repay the Xiao family, so they could only be nicer to their daughter-in-law.

It was a great thing that Xu Muzhou could stand up. Because he was so happy, Xiao Huaishu suggested having a drink during the meal.

Xiao Qingru strictly controlled it, "You can only drink a little."

Xu Muzhou shook her hand and said, "You are an alcoholic, don't be nervous."

It was a rare occasion that everyone was so happy, and Xiao Qingru didn't want to spoil the fun, so she let them drink.

When Xu's father got home from get off work, he joined them.

The family ate and chatted until dark.

After seeing Fang Yingqiu and her husband off, Xiao Qingru fetched some hot water and went back to the room to help Xu Muzhou wipe his body.

"Wife, do it yourself."

"Just sit still and don't move."

Maybe it was because he had just drunk some wine, plus the mist, Xu Muzhou's head was dizzy.

"Wife, I am very happy today."

Xiao Qingru deliberately teased him, "Were you happy yesterday?"

“I am happy too.”

Since he was able to stand up, Xu Muzhou has not been happy every day.

He reached out to hug Xiao Qingru's waist, but she dodged him and said, "Stop making trouble. I haven't finished wiping yet."

"oh."

Xu Muzhou moved obediently.

Xiao Qingru had done this for Xu Muzhou countless times, but for some reason today, she felt the atmosphere was becoming more and more ambiguous.

At first, Xiao Qingru thought she was overthinking.

It was not until she lay on the bed and Xu Muzhou unbuttoned her clothes that she realized that the look he had just given her was really strong!

Holding the man's hand, she said, "Stop making trouble."

"Wife, I want to try it."

Since Xu Muzhou was injured two years ago, they have not had any in-depth communication.

At the same time, the topic of having children was not mentioned at home.

At that time, Xu Muzhou had no feeling in his lower body, so he just accepted that the Xu family would be wiped out.

"Wife, do you think this is okay?"

Xiao Qingru was so amused that she cried, "I didn't say that."

Xu Muzhou asked aggrievedly: "Then why did you agree?"

Xiao Qingru blushed, "It's for your health."

Xu Muzhou's eyes were full of smiles. He stretched out his arms and let Xiao Qingru lie on his chest.

"Thank you for your hard work, my wife."
