Sheng An Ning helped Zhou Chaoyang carry the lunch box and watched her eat most of it in small bites.
Then he asked quietly: "Do you want to eat some more food?"
Zhou Chaoyang was silent for a moment and nodded slowly: "Okay."
Sheng An Ning quickly asked Zhou Hongyun to bring up some freshly cooked wontons. The soup was made from old hen soup that had been simmered for half a day. It was full of fragrance, with a layer of light yellow chicken oil floating on top and a layer of emerald green onions sprinkled on top.
As Zhou Hongyun walked, she attracted An An, the greedy little cat. She wrinkled her nose and trotted after Zhou Hongyun: "Grandma, it smells so good. An An wants to eat it."
She happily followed her aunt upstairs and into Zhou Chaoyang's room.
Seeing her aunt, An An suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen her for a long time. She happily rushed over, lay on the bed, clapped her hands and grabbed Zhou Chaoyang's hand: "Aunt, aunt, the injection hurts, An An."
As she spoke, she puffed out her cheeks, pouted her lips, and blew on the back of Zhou Chaoyang's hand.
Zhou Chaoyang's expression gradually showed expression. He lowered his head to look at An An, and reached out with his other hand to touch An An's little head.
Zhou Hongyun took the opportunity to say, "Chaoyang, hurry up and eat some wontons and drink some chicken soup. Have a good sleep and you'll be fine tomorrow."
Sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a spoon, ready to feed Zhou Chaoyang.
When An An heard this, her eyes lit up. She tilted her head back and opened her mouth towards Zhou Hongyun: "An An, eat it. An An, try it."
Sheng An Ning tapped the little girl's forehead: "It's for auntie, An An will eat it later."
An An was not angry either, she still opened her little mouth: "An An, take a bite, try it."
Zhou Hongyun smiled and turned the spoon that had not yet been fed into Zhou Chaoyang's mouth to feed it to An An's mouth.
The little girl opened her mouth and swallowed a wonton in one gulp. She ate it with a smacking sound, her eyes curved into little crescents, and she was very happy. After swallowing it, she said to Zhou Chaoyang: "The dumplings are delicious. An An likes them. Auntie, please eat them."
Zhou Hongyun finally understood that the little girl was trying to coax her aunt to eat. She smiled and said, "You are such a smart little girl."
While feeding Zhou Chaoyang wontons.
I don’t know if it was because of An An’s chattering, but Zhou Chaoyang also ate half a bowl of wontons and drank a lot of chicken soup.
An An just watched, and when Zhou Hongyun walked out with the bowl, she quickly chased after him: "Grandma, An An, eat, give it to An An."
It would be a waste if some is left and poured out.
Zhou Hongyun smiled and took An An's hand. "An An wants to eat. Can you cook more for her? Aunt is sick. I can't give An An the leftovers. I'm afraid An An will get sick too."
An An is pretty smart: "If An An is sick, he needs an injection. If An An is not sick, An An will not eat."
The two of them went out muttering to each other.
Sheng An Ning then helped Zhou Chaoyang lean against the head of the bed and went to get a wet towel to wipe her face and hands, doing these things in silence.
She knew that at this moment, any words of comfort would not be as good as silent companionship, and saying too much would make Zhou Chaoyang even sadder.
Such a painful thing can only be brought back to her slowly.
Sheng An Ning felt that this winter was too depressing, with bad things happening one after another.
In the afternoon, Zhou Luancheng and Mu Xiaowan came together. They looked at Zhou Chaoyang and did not mention Lu Changfeng.
At dinner time, Song Xiuyan also came over and brought a lunch box.
I went upstairs to see Zhou Chaoyang, sat down on the stool beside the bed, and opened the lunch box: "Look what this is? Fried sparrows."
"I remember that you liked to eat this the most when we were in school. At that time, you always threatened me to catch sparrows for you to eat. I had nothing to do today, so I stayed at home and caught sparrows all day."
"It snowed heavily these past two days, and these sparrows are really stupid. If you just put up a net in the yard, they will crawl into it."
"You taught me how to make fried sparrows. Come and try it."
Zhou Chaoyang looked at Song Xiuyan with red eyes: "I don't want to eat, I feel uncomfortable."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but have tears in her eyes. She had been holding it in for a whole day because she didn't want to make her family worry, but she really couldn't pretend that nothing had happened.
When she closed her eyes, she could see Lu Changfeng chasing her and calling her sister, and Lu Changfeng looking at her tenderly.
Song Xiuyan nodded: "If you feel bad, just cry, don't hold it in. If you don't cry, everyone will be more worried about you. If you want to go to the place where Lu Changfeng had the accident, I will go with you."
Zhou Chaoyang looked at Song Xiuyan with tears in his eyes: "Can I go?"
Song Xiuyan nodded: "As long as you want to go, we can go, Chaoyang, if you don't go, you will regret it for the rest of your life."
Zhou Chaoyang fell silent again. She wanted to go but didn’t want to go. She wanted to go but was afraid that she would have to face the cruelest reality after going.
Song Xiuyan stuffed the lunch box into her hand: "No matter what decision you make, I support you."
Sheng An Ning watched from the side, and apart from sighing that Song Xiuyan was so nice, she didn't know what to say.
After Song Xiuyan left, Zhou Chaoyang still ate a few sparrows silently, and then said to his family very seriously: "I'm going to the border."
Zhou Nanguang was not surprised at all that Zhou Chaoyang would make such a request. He just frowned and said, "Chaoyang, the conditions over there are very bad. You have to think it through."
Zhou Chaoyang nodded: "Dad, I've thought it through."
Zhong Wenqing was also reluctant to leave: "Chaoyang, it's still dangerous over there. We are worried about you going alone. If you must go, your father and I will go with you."
Zhou Chaoyang's eyes turned red: "Mom, how can I let you go with me? I want to go and see, I am sure I can take care of myself."
Zhou Nanguang pressed Zhong Wenqing's shoulder, signaling her to stop talking. At this time, no one could change the decision Zhou Chaoyang made.
Mu Xiaowan looked around and suddenly said, "I'll go with you. I've been there before. Winter vacation is coming soon. I can take a leave to go with you."
Sheng An Ning also wanted to accompany Zhou Chaoyang, but she had three children.
Zhou Chaoyang shook his head: "No, I can do it alone."
She would not tell Song Xiuyan to stay with her either.
She was not an ungrateful person, and she was also very clear about Song Xiuyan's feelings for her, so she couldn't pretend to know nothing and enjoy Song Xiuyan's kindness to her.
That would be too inhuman.
After Sheng An Ning accompanied Zhou Chaoyang upstairs, Zhong Wenqing was a little anxious: "Are we really going to let Chaoyang go so far? It's winter now, the weather is not good and the roads are not good. What if there is an accident?"
Mu Xiaowan was very persistent: "I can go with her. I am quite familiar with that place."
Zhou Luancheng pulled her arm and said, "Don't make trouble. I'll take care of this matter and make sure nothing happens to Chaoyang."
Mu Xiaowan pouted: "Your arrangement is not to let Song Xiuyan accompany Chaoyang, right?"
Zhou Luancheng shook his head: "No, I have a way. I thought of someone."
