Ning Xiyue was in a good mood all the way because of the gratifying news she received from Comrade Li. It could be considered the best news this year.
When she arrived at the hospital entrance, Ning Xiyue took out two cans of fruit and some biscuits from the package Comrade Ji had sent her in her backpack, put them in a net bag and held it in her hand.
Fortunately, there were still some things in the backpack, otherwise it would be really inappropriate to go to the hospital to see the patient empty-handed.
At this moment, she was grateful to Comrade Ji for sending her the things, and grateful to herself for not putting the things into the space because of her greed.
Comrade Li picked up a bag of malted milk from the car and took Ning Xiyue to the hospital to see the little boy Taotao.
The person who opened the door was Taotao's mother, Sister Li. She looked very haggard, as if she hadn't had a good sleep for a long time. She had obvious dark circles under her eyes and looked tired.
Sister Li invited her in, and the moment she turned around, Ning Xiyue actually saw some silver threads faintly visible in her hair, which were still quite old.
He doesn't look like a man in his twenties at all, he looks more like he's in his thirties.
Comrade Li said that it was all because he was anxious after his child went missing.
Poor parents in the world!
A man was sitting next to the bed, telling a story to the child lying on the bed. His voice was gentle, and he told the story with love and emotion for the child.
Taotao on the bed looked at him seriously. As the content of his story changed, the emotions on his face and in his eyes also changed, although the expression was not big, even weak.
But Sister Li, who was standing nearby and watching the child, noticed it and covered her mouth with her hands, crying silently with joy.
The man who was keeping an eye on the child and telling him stories also noticed it and was ecstatic.
And this man was none other than their Town Mayor Huang. Seeing the subtle changes in the child, he was so excited that his tone of voice while telling the story became agitated. Seeing that the child was still staring at him waiting to hear the story, he suppressed his excitement for fear of scaring the child and continued telling the story.
After Ning Xiyue and Comrade Li arrived, they did not disturb the father and son's parent-child entertainment activities for the time being. They just watched the father and son telling and listening to stories from the side.
She saw that Taotao's condition on the bed was very different from when she first saw him.
Before, his eyes were empty and lifeless as he stared into the air, looking lifeless. Now, there is light and a smile in his eyes.
In the past, he had no flesh on his body and was so skinny that he almost looked unrecognizable. Now she saw that Taotao's face had gained some flesh. Although he was not yet white and plump, at least his face had the color of a normal person, and his body was slowly gaining flesh. It was a good thing that his body was gradually recovering.
With the care of his family, the child will gradually get better. It can be seen that his parents love him very much.
After Mayor Huang finished telling Taotao a story and stopped, he turned around and apologized to them. Only then did Ning Xiyue and Comrade Li speak and introduce themselves to each other.
Ning Xiyue explained her purpose to him and got confirmation from Comrade Li. Mayor Huang and Sister Li were very excited after hearing this, but they wanted to see how Taotao would react.
"Taotao, look who's here to see you. Uncle Li is here, and he's brought a sister with him." Mayor Huang lowered his head and spoke softly to Taotao.
"Taotao, do you still remember me? I am your Uncle Li." Comrade Li walked to the other side of the bed with a smile on his face and called softly.
Taotao on the bed was no stranger to Comrade Li. Since he had saved him, he was willing to let him get close to him. He was not afraid of him, but he did not respond much to him either. He just looked at Comrade Li and blinked as a response.
"Every time you come, Li Feng, Taotao will be in a better state. He is willing to contact you and respond to you. I am jealous." Mayor Huang patted Comrade Li's shoulder and smiled.
The two of them get along very familiarly and naturally, just like good friends.
"Yeah, even I, as a mother, am jealous. Our Taotao treats you the best. Look, he's smiling."
However, when Sister Li said this, she realized that Taotao was smiling, and he was not smiling at Comrade Li, but was smiling in the direction of Ning Xiyue.
"Taotao?" Ning Xiyue called tentatively from a position not too far away.
She knew that the child was so badly abused by the traffickers that he was now afraid of strangers approaching him.
So she stood at a safe distance so that the child would not be afraid of her or have any stress reaction.
Who knew that the child was not afraid of her and even smiled at her.
Everyone in the room was surprised by Taotao's long-lost smile, and they all looked at her and Taotao, making Ning Xiyue feel inexplicable pressure.
"I remember you, sister."
Taotao's words once again surprised Mayor Huang and Sister Li, and they hugged each other with tears in their eyes.
Sister Li wiped her tears, crying and laughing: "Our Taotao finally spoke."
"This is a very good phenomenon, a very good phenomenon." Mayor Huang put his arm around Sister Li's shoulders and comforted her. His face was beaming, and he kept repeating this sentence.
"Taotao is awesome, sister came to see you."
Ning Xiyue praised the child while moving her feet without stopping. She moved closer tentatively. After finding that Taotao did not have any discomfort, she boldly took a big step forward. Until she moved next to him, he did not react excessively. Instead, he looked at Ning Xiyue very seriously.
The adults in Taotao's family were excited again when they saw Taotao's great progress, and they liked Ning Xiyue, whom Taotao liked, from the bottom of their hearts.
Today is the happiest day for them.
Sister Li calmed down and looked at Ning Xiyue with joy: "Sister Xiyue, my Taotao seems to like you very much."
Ning Xiyue guessed that it might be because she had seen Taotao's face in the cellar. It might be because she had come into contact with Taotao a long time ago, or it might be because she had stayed with Taotao in the cellar for a long time.
