"Brother, if you have time these two days, take Chunhua back to the Li family to see her grandfather, and bring this with you."

Ling Jiang quickly declined, "No, no, no, no, no, sister-in-law, leave this in the store and sell it. I'll take care of buying a holiday gift for Grandpa Chunhua."

"Take it, big brother. After all, it's the new year. This is a small token of my and Lingchuan's love. Besides, this is what I promised my sister-in-law before."

Hearing this, Ling Jiang took the things.

"Okay, sister-in-law, I'll thank you and Chuanzi on behalf of Grandpa Chunhua."

Yun Mo thought for a moment and said, "How about you take Chunhua to Lijia Village tomorrow, brother? It happens that I have two days off, so I can help look after the store."

"Then I'll go tomorrow morning and be back in the afternoon."

"good."

Listening to the occasional fireworks and firecrackers outside the window, Yun Huan felt envious and yearning. She turned to Yun Yao, who was sitting beside her bed and taking care of her, and said, "Sister, let's go out for a walk. I haven't been out for a long time."

After Yun Huan fell ill, her resistance and immunity were very low. In order to prevent her from catching a cold and causing other complications, Jiang Yu kept a close eye on her. Except for taking her to the garden downstairs to relax when the weather was good, she was never allowed to step out of the ward.

Yun Yao advised softly: "Xiao Huan, it's cold outside. If you go out and catch a cold, it will be very dangerous."

"I'll be fine if I wear something thicker. If the price of living is to be stuck in this ward every day without being able to go out, then I might as well die!"

"Xiao Huan, don't think like that. Your illness can definitely be cured. Have faith."

"Sister, please take me out for a walk. I beg you. Let's go out quietly and no one will know."

Yun Yao was in a dilemma. "Xiao Huan, it's really cold outside. I'm worried that your body won't be able to handle it..."

"I know my own body. Go find me a thicker coat."

Seeing that Yun Huan insisted on going out, Yun Yao could only sigh helplessly.

"Okay then, but you have to be back in half an hour."

Hearing that he could go out, Yun Huan was immediately overjoyed, "Oh, I see, you are so nagging."

With Yun Yao's help, the fully armed Yun Huan walked out of the hospital smoothly.

Stepping onto the street after a long absence and breathing the fresh air without the smell of disinfectant, Yun Huan was as excited as a bird out of a cage.

"Sister, I want to eat grilled lamb skewers and candied haws!"

Yun Yao smiled and was satisfied.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye. Yun Yao began to urge him to go back. However, Yun Huan, who had just come out for a trip and had not had enough fun, was not willing to listen. He acted like a spoiled child and insisted on staying outside until the lights in the ward were about to go out before he reluctantly returned to the hospital.

"Sister, I'm so happy today. Let's go out and play again next time you come back from vacation."

"Well, it's getting late, go to bed."

Yun Huan closed her eyes contentedly, "Good night, sis."

"Good night."

Seeing Yun Huan quickly falling into a deep sleep on the hospital bed, the smile on Yun Yao's face slowly became weird. Then, she turned and walked to the window, opened it, and let the cold wind pour into the ward.

Early the next morning, Ling Jiang rode his bicycle and took his daughter Ling Chunhua to Lijia Village.

When he arrived at the entrance of Lijia Village, there were a few children playing around an old camphor tree on the roadside. Ling Jiang didn't pay any attention to them and continued riding his bicycle forward, but he didn't expect to hear his daughter's cry from behind.

"Dad, it's Jiale!"

Ling Jiang braked the car, turned his head and looked at the muddy children. After careful identification, he recognized that one of the little boys in the green cotton-padded jacket was Ling Jiale.

After not seeing him for a few days, Ling Jiale turned into a dirty monkey.

At this time, Ling Jiale also discovered the father and daughter, and immediately left his friends behind and ran towards Ling Jiang howling.

“Dad! Dad!”

Looking at Ling Jiale hugging his thigh, Ling Jiang felt very complicated.

Having raised her for several years, it would be a lie to say that he had no feelings for her. But when he thought that the other party was not his biological child, he couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.

"Daddy, hug me!"

Faced with Ling Jiale who was acting like a spoiled child like before, Ling Jiang did not obey him for the first time. He just took out a handful of candy from his pocket and stuffed it into his hand.

"Jia Le, be good, I'll give you some candy."

During these few days in the countryside, Ling Jiale had been craving for candies. His eyes lit up when he saw them and he happily put the candies into his pockets.

When the other children who played with Ling Jiale saw this, they immediately surrounded him.

In the countryside, even white sugar is a rare commodity. Candies wrapped in exquisite sugar paper like this are as tempting to children as raw meat to a hungry wolf.

Seeing that the poor children were all drooling and looking at him eagerly, Ling Jiang couldn't bear it and took out a few more candies from his pocket and gave one to each of them.

As soon as two pieces of candy were given, Ling Jiale rushed over to protect his food.

"Mine, all mine! You are not allowed to give them to them!"

Seeing Ling Jiale snatching all the candies from his hand, Ling Jiang quickly advised: "Jiale, didn't I give you a lot just now? Give some to them so they can eat together."

"I don't! They're all mine!"

Ling Jiale not only held his pocket tightly, but also chased after the two friends who had taken the candy from Ling Jiang to return the candy.

Children are all greedy, so how could they give back the candies they have gotten?

The two children turned around and ran away. Ling Jiale was furious and chased after them. As a result, the candy in his pocket spilled all over the place. When the other children saw it, they swarmed after Ling Jiale to pick up the candy.

By the time Ling Jiale realized it, there was very little candy left in his pocket.

"Give it back to me! It's my candy!"

Faced with Ling Jiale's pursuit, the friends scattered like birds and beasts and ran away without a trace.

Ling Jiale was so angry that he stamped his feet and finally just rolled on the ground and threw a tantrum.

Ling Chunhua jumped off the bicycle and ran forward to pull Ling Jiale up, but was kicked by Ling Jiale and staggered.

"Chunhua, come back."

Hearing Ling Jiang's greeting, Ling Chunhua had no choice but to run over, "Dad."

Ling Jiang parked the bicycle and told his daughter to stay by the bicycle while he walked up to Ling Jiale.

Seeing Ling Jiang coming, Ling Jiale fluttered even harder.

"My candy, my candy! Woohoo, they stole my candy..."

"Jia Le, you get up first."

Ling Jiale has been spoiled by Li Li to the point of being unruly, it would be strange if he would be obedient.

"I don't! I want candy, I want candy! Give me back the candy."

"I still have some here. I'll give it to you when you get up."

Hearing this, Ling Jiale stopped crying, but he didn't get up either. He just lay on the ground motionless, staring at Ling Jiang with his little eyes, as if waiting for Ling Jiang to pick him up.
