The next day, Ji Changqing woke up and took his wife and children out for fun.
Ji Heng was overjoyed. He happily rode on his father's shoulders, looking around at the people passing by with joy, and laughed happily: "Mom, you are so tall!"
They took a group photo. In the photo, the man looked majestic, the woman was gentle, and the child was smiling happily.
After enjoying the beautiful scenery, the group didn’t stay long. They said goodbye to Aunt Bai and headed back home. When they got home, they received a letter from their hometown saying that Old Mrs. Xia was sick and in the hospital!
Xihe was suddenly panicked and got on the train back to his hometown without even having time to collect the package.
Ji Changqing held her hand tightly: "Grandma has always been in good health, she will be fine."
Xihe nodded absentmindedly, looking at the rapidly receding scenery outside the window, with a heavy heart. She had asked Old Lady Xia to come and live with them in the past few years, but Old Lady Xia was stubborn and had always been unwilling to come.
She had no other choice but to send clothes and nutritional supplements back home during the holidays to make the old lady happy.
The train rattled on and on, and soon they finally set foot on the land of their hometown. They got off the train in the city and went directly to the hospital in the county town.
It was around five o'clock at this time. The sky was filled with sunset glow and the hospital was busy in an orderly manner.
She pushed open the door of the ward and her eyes fell directly on the thin old woman on the middle bed. She was wearing a hospital gown and her face was haggard. Her eyes suddenly turned red: "Grandma!"
Old Mrs. Xia slowly woke up, looked towards the door, and then her eyes widened.
Old Mrs. Xia raised her hand tremblingly and wiped her eyes in disbelief: "Xiao He?"
"Why!"
Xihe rushed over, and the grandmother and granddaughter burst into tears.
Ji Changqing stood at the door and watched. At this moment, Boss Xia came back from outside. The two of them closed the door gently and began to exchange greetings.
Boss Xia was not very familiar with his son-in-law, especially because the other party had a strong aura, which made people feel scared just by seeing him standing there. He had no choice but to ask him about some family matters awkwardly.
"Hengheng didn't come back? That's fine. The child is still young and it would be painful for him to take the train."
"The old lady has been missing her granddaughter so much. She looks at Xiaohe's photo every day and keeps calling her 'girl'."
"It's not a serious illness. The hospital said I just need to rest well."
…
Boss Xia kept on chattering, and Ji Changqing occasionally responded.
After the grandmother and granddaughter in the house calmed down, Ji Changqing and Xia Lao Da pushed the door open and started to greet them with a smile.
Old Mrs. Xia looked at her tall son-in-law and smiled so hard that her teeth were showing. Oh, the son-in-law she liked is still the best. Look, how handsome he is!
After two days in the hospital, Old Mrs. Xia said she would not stay any longer.
Ji Changqing went to handle the discharge procedures and found a car to take the group back to the village. As soon as they arrived at the village entrance, Old Lady Xia couldn't help but get off the car.
Xihe was helpless. This little old lady probably wanted to show off that her precious granddaughter and grandson-in-law had returned.
"Grandma, let me support you."
She and Ji Changqing got out of the car and helped the old lady.
The villagers who were watching at the entrance of the village could now see clearly that the person in the car was actually Xia He!
"Hey, Xiaohe is back?"
They swarmed up and surrounded the few people with excited chatter.
Old Mrs. Xia pretended to be reserved, but the smile on her face betrayed her inner joy. She said cheerfully, "My daughter heard that I was sick and came back by train without saying a word. Oh, I'm not really sick. The child is just worrying about nothing."
Anyone with eyes could see that she was extremely happy.
The villagers praised Xihe and Ji Changqing highly. Xihe's face was almost frozen from laughing. He turned around and inadvertently met a pair of angry eyes.
