Li Weidong never expected that he would see Zhou Xiaoye when he woke up!
Am I hallucinating?
Zhou Xiaoye blushed slightly and said softly, "Grandpa was hospitalized, so I took leave with Lili to come and see if there was anything I could do to help."
Regardless of whether she will marry Li Weidong in the future, at least she is engaged now, and she is the future daughter-in-law of the Li family.
We should also do our part in taking care of the elderly.
Most importantly...
Zhou Xiaoye looked up at Li Weidong, but when he saw that Li Weidong was staring at him, he quickly lowered his head to hide his thoughts.
She also wanted to do her part to help Li Weidong.
Li Weidong was surprised that she had also taken leave, and couldn't help but sigh: "Why did you take leave? I'm here with my mom and Lili, there's no need to delay your studies?"
He went to great lengths to help Zhou Xiaoye, hoping that Zhou Xiaoye could live a different life.
And academic performance is of utmost importance.
We shouldn't let irrelevant things distract us.
Zhou Xiaoye was stunned for a moment, a hint of sadness flashing in his eyes.
That's right. Wei Dong had said long ago that the engagement was just to help her. To Wei Dong, he was probably just a good friend of his sister.
Ultimately, they're all outsiders and shouldn't have come.
As she thought about it, she couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat.
Fortunately, Li Xiaoli came in at that moment.
The girl started yelling as soon as she walked in: "Brother, Mom, how's Grandpa?"
Zhao Xiulian was still sleeping when she was immediately woken up.
Fortunately, the old man was sleeping soundly due to his injury and did not wake up.
"Keep your voice down!"
Li Weidong glared at her: "Even Xiao Ye knows to speak softly, but you're making a racket as soon as you walk in. If you wake Grandpa up, I'll teach you a lesson!"
The old man was in a lot of pain from the fall and kept groaning all night before finally falling asleep!
Li Xiaoli immediately shut her mouth and started gesturing with her hands.
Li Weidong stared at it for a long time, still unable to understand, and said impatiently, "What exactly are you trying to say?!"
"I killed one of the chickens in my house."
Li Xiaoli lowered her voice and said, "I originally planned to stew it for Grandpa this morning and send it over, but Xiao Ye got up in the middle of the night. When I got up, the chicken soup was already stewed."
Zhou Xiaoye, standing to the side, blushed slightly: "Auntie, Brother Weidong, when Grandpa had his accident, he was supposed to kill one of our chickens and send it over, but I was pressed for time, so I didn't go back."
“I caught one chicken in the chicken coop, and I’ll have my mom catch one at home and bring it over later.”
Even if the two families are not married, it is only proper and reasonable for the family to visit the sick.
Most importantly, given Li Weidong's status, even if his parents were stingy, they certainly wouldn't refuse a chicken.
Zhao Xiulian quickly said, "You silly child, it's just a chicken. You killed it, so what? There's no need to pay it back."
"But you, getting up so early to make chicken soup, you must be tired, right? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Zhou Xiaoye shook her head and refused: "No need, I used to get up early at home too! The chicken soup is still hot, I'll make you some noodles."
As she spoke, she took out clean bowls and chopsticks from her bag and poured chicken soup from the thermos.
The steaming chicken soup was so fragrant that it made one's mouth water.
Then she took the noodles out of another lunchbox.
"Ono got up early this morning to roll out the dough."
Li Xiaoli explained from the side, "When I got up, the noodles were already rolled out!"
Li Weidong was touched: "There's nothing we can't buy to eat outside, why would you need to get up so early to make it?"
It's the age when we're growing, and not getting enough sleep is very harmful to our health!
Zhou Xiaoye said in a low voice, "Anyway, it's not tiring, it's nothing."
As she spoke, the noodles had already been placed in bowls, and she added some chicken to them before bringing them to Li Weidong: "Brother Weidong, Auntie, have some noodles!"
"Is Grandpa awake yet? Can he eat? I specially made chicken soup for a long time, and the noodles were boiled and then rinsed with cold water so they're not mushy. Eat them while they're hot!"
"You child..."
Zhao Xiulian exclaimed, "That's so thoughtful of you."
She's smart, sensible, and virtuous; it's a blessing from our ancestors to have such a daughter-in-law.
Li Weidong looked at the noodles in front of him, let out a long breath, and without saying much, picked up the bowl and started eating, secretly making up his mind.
Whether Zhou Xiaoye is willing to marry him after she comes of age or not, he will do everything in his power to protect her and ensure she has a worry-free life!
Before he could finish his bowl of noodles, his third uncle, Zhao Baojia, came in, and the old man happened to wake up as well.
After Li Weidong asked the doctor and found out that the old man could eat, Zhou Xiaoye quickly prepared the remaining chicken soup and noodles and brought them to the old man.
Since the old man had difficulty moving around, Zhao Xiulian carefully fed him a bowl of food.
Li Weidong then looked at Zhao Baojia and asked, "Third Uncle, how did you get here?"
So early, and there's no shuttle bus yet. Did you walk here?
Li Xiaoli spoke quickly: "Brother, didn't you drive a tricycle back? Sister Xiaoyan told us to take that into the city."
Li Weidong was somewhat surprised: "Third Uncle, you can drive a tricycle?"
"You'll learn it in a minute."
Zhao Baojia scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly and said with a simple smile, "Zhang Bin said he would give us a ride, but I thought I couldn't delay his work, so I asked him to teach me."
"Just drive slower and it'll be fine."
Li Weidong laughed too: "Third Uncle, you're pretty amazing. You learned it in just one look."
The old man, who was eating noodles, interjected: "Your third uncle, aside from anything else, is quite quick to learn, but he's just stubborn. He's unwilling to find a wife, and at his age, he's still advertising."
