Chapter 334: Add more ingredients to every meal and change clothes frequently
"Where will the money come from if you don't work?" Zhang's father said as a matter of course. He rubbed his swollen head and said, "When you were not at home before, your brother and I also took turns to take care of your mother at night. We are used to it. At most, we can come back at noon to catch up on some sleep. It's not a big problem."
Zhang Wanwan felt very uncomfortable after hearing this, so she turned around and walked into the room, "I'll go make some porridge for you."
Father Zhang originally wanted to just do it himself, but seeing that Zhang Wanwan had already started washing rice, he let her do it.
Zhang Baiyan got up at almost seven o'clock and went into Zhang's mother's room as usual. Seeing that she was awake and looking at her with bright eyes, he asked, "Mom, how did you sleep last night?"
"Okay," Zhang's mother said in a hoarse voice, as if a tape that had not been used for years had just been played. Every word she spoke was cracked, but it was enough to surprise Zhang Baiyan.
Zhang Wanwan was still making breakfast when Zhang Boyan rushed over and said excitedly, "Little sister, mom can speak today."
Zhang Wanwan paused, turned off the fire, went into the room, looked at Zhang's mother carefully, and asked tentatively: "Do you feel better?"
Thinking of the "disaster" she had caused yesterday, Zhang's mother nodded with an embarrassed face, but her complexion was too sallow for others to see.
Zhang's father also came in at this time, crowding the small room until there was no place to stand. He sat directly on the bed and said cheerfully, "Good girl, your health has improved so much in just two days since you came back. It seems that my daughter really takes better care of you than we do!
Did Yatou wash your hair and give you a bath yesterday? When I returned to your room last night, I found that you had changed your clothes and there was a smell of shower gel and shampoo. Bo Yan and I are usually busy and can't take care of it so carefully. I just thought about it and decided to listen to Yatou's suggestion and let you stay in your hometown for a while.
I know you're worried about your family, but staying here won't help your condition. Instead of living here and feeling uncomfortable, why not stay there for a while? Bai Yan and I will visit you during the Chinese New Year, and we'll make a long-term plan based on your recovery, okay?"
Zhang Wanwan persuaded from the side, "Mom, just come with me. Don't feel like you're a burden to me. I really have nothing to do right now. I've asked my cousin to help me with some simple things back home. We'll be able to move in soon. When the time comes, I'll connect the broadband and I'll be able to work there. It won't affect my work at all. I promise you."
Zhang Baiyan looked at Zhang Wanwan and said thoughtfully, "How about this, I will go over and take your place when I am resting, so that you won't be so tired alone."
Zhang Wanwan nodded in agreement.
Zhang's mother looked around and saw that everyone in the family wanted her to go to the countryside to recuperate, so she stopped insisting.
Seeing her nod in agreement, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
While feeding Zhang's mother, Zhang Wanwan chattered on and on about many things in her hometown, and more importantly, told Zhang's mother that Li Yongfu and others cared about her very much. Zhang's mother felt much better when she knew that she could go to the countryside to recuperate and see her brother and sister-in-law from her mother's side from time to time.
Zaxing Wanwan fed her nearly a bowl of porridge before stopping. At this time, Zhang's father and Zhang Baiyan had already gone out to work. She slowly enjoyed breakfast by herself and cleaned up the kitchen.
When she returned to Zhang's mother's room again, she found that Zhang's mother's body had begun to secrete the sour and smelly mucus again. Even Zhang's mother herself could hardly bear it and was crying with worry.
Zhang Wanwan hurriedly asked, "Mom, do you want to go to the bathroom again? Then I'll give you a bath."
Mother Zhang looked a little anxious.
Zhang Wanwan knew what she was worried about and comforted her, "It's okay. I guess your body's metabolism is slowly recovering. Plus, the porridge in the morning was a little hot, so you sweated after eating it. You'll be fine after taking a shower. Don't you feel much better?"
Zhang's mother was stunned, and her anxious expression gradually calmed down. Zhang Wanwan carried her to the toilet to defecate, and it was almost ten o'clock when Zhang Wanwan cleaned her up.
At 11 o'clock in the morning, Zhang Wanwan cooked yesterday's noodles for Zhang's mother again.
Zhang's mother loved it but was also afraid of it, fearing that she would make such a big noise again after eating it.
Zhang Wanwan didn't care about all this. After bringing the things over, she kept looking at her expectantly.
Mother Zhang thought that these were the noodles her daughter had worked so hard to cook, and she would feel guilty if she didn't eat them, so she gritted her teeth and swallowed them mouthful by mouthful, and before she knew it, the bowl of noodles was gone.
Zhang Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief and took the empty bowl away with a smile. As for her and Zhang's father, they had rice with side dishes and a pot of stew.
In less than half an hour, Zhang's mother really wanted to go to the toilet again. After the experiences of last night and this morning, she had become numb, but she was still worried and didn't understand what was wrong with her body. After letting Zhang Wanwan give her a bath and wash her hair, she was still struggling with this problem while lying on the bed. After a while, she slowly closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
When Zhang's father came back, he saw that there was no one in the hall. He heard the sound of running water from the balcony. He went over to see Zhang Wanwan washing Zhang's mother's pajamas, and there were two sets hanging on the balcony. He frowned deeply and asked, "Girl, did your mother change into two more sets of pajamas today?"
You know, Zhang's mother used to take a bath and change clothes once a week. Now the frequency of changing clothes is too scary. How can she, who lies in bed all day, change clothes like this?
The more Zhang's father thought about it, the more worried he became. He looked back at the room and could still hear Zhang's mother's deep breathing. "Girl, do you want to take your mother to the hospital for another checkup?"
Zhang Wanwan shook her head without even thinking, "Dad, my mom isn't that willing to go to the hospital. Let's wait a while. Let her go back to her hometown and take care of herself for a while. I'll try to persuade her. When she's willing, I'll charter a car to take her to the city center hospital for a comprehensive checkup.
Don't worry about her frequent changes of clothes. I think it's because her body is recovering and she sweats after eating. I don't like the smell, so I changed her clothes specially to avoid her wearing them all the time, which would make her uncomfortable."
Father Zhang stared at the clothes hanging on the clothes rack in a daze. After a while, he shook his head and sighed, "If it were me and your brother, how could we bathe your mother so many times a day like this! Forget it, forget it, I'm glad you're alright. I'll go eat first and take a nap later."
After saying that, Zhang's father continued walking while muttering about how he hadn't slept all night but was still full of energy.
When Zhang's father was eating, Zhang Baiyan also came back. Zhang Wanwan was about to take the bowl, and took out Zhang Baiyan's portion as well.
Zhang Baiyan went in to take a look at Zhang's mother, then came out and asked, "Is she asleep?"
Zhang Wanwan nodded.
Zhang Baiyan was even more surprised. "Mom slept soundly last night, and now she is sleeping so deeply again. It seems that she is really getting better."
