The three of them returned home with a large bag of lychees, where Li Xunli was already sitting on the sofa watching TV.
"Where did the lychees come from?" Li Xunli asked curiously as she saw the two children, each carrying a bag with one end hanging from the handle, walking in.
Generally speaking, they rarely buy fruit at the end of the season, let alone such a large bag.
Shen Qingqing walked in and flopped onto the single sofa, saying lazily, "These are the lychee trees I picked today with my grandma at her parents' lychee orchard. They said this is the last batch."
After putting down the lychees, Shen Yangyang and Shen Hong sat down on the ground.
Shen Yangyang turned to look at Li Xunli and, seeing that she seemed to be in good spirits, began to chatter and share what she had seen and heard that day.
After a long and winding journey by tricycle to the lychee orchard, and then the lychee feast we had for lunch, I felt like I wanted to connect my brain to Li Xunli's.
Of the Shen family, Shen Yangyang is the most talkative. She loves to talk, and Li Xunli listens patiently, occasionally asking questions of the silent Shen Hong and Shen Qingqing beside her.
Shen Qingqing could answer once or twice, but after talking for a while, she felt tired and didn't want to continue. She simply waved her hand and said she was going to take a shower.
Only after she said that did Li Xunli notice that the three children were all dirty. Then, remembering that Shen Yangyang had said that they had played in the lychee orchard, she quickly told them to take a bath.
As soon as Shen Rongzhou returned, he went straight into the kitchen. Whenever he was on vacation at home, he would cook all the meals.
Because Li Xunli is still sick, Shen Hong takes care of his own bath. At six years old, he can bathe himself without any problem. After all, he will be going to primary school next year. How can he not take care of his personal hygiene?
At first, Li Xunli said that he was still young and would spend a lot of time at home, but unfortunately, they had already delegated the authority to manage their younger siblings to Shen Qingqing, and after they started their own careers, they could no longer stay at home to take care of their children for long periods of time.
Shen Qingqing was even less likely to act as a caregiver for Shen Hong, such as bathing him. So she could only reluctantly let Shen Hong learn to handle his own personal hygiene at an early age.
Now all three children can wash themselves on their own, and after taking a bath, they can wash their clothes briefly before putting them all in the washing machine after Li Xunli finishes her bath.
This greatly relieved Li Xunli of the busy time of bathing and washing the children. After experiencing this convenience, Li Xunli no longer had any objection to Shen Qingqing's behavior of asking Shen Yangyang and Shen Hong to "do their own things".
They even joined forces with Shen Rongzhou to give Shen Qingqing more authority over managing her two younger siblings, and they no longer worried about her homework.
Shen Qingqing finished showering first, dried her hair, and sat down next to Li Xunli. She was covered in dirt, and Li Xunli was sick, so she didn't sit down next to her.
"Mom, how are you feeling? Does your headache still hurt?"
Li Xunli smiled and shook her head: "I'm much better now. I took my medicine and painkillers this morning, ate something at noon and took my medicine again. There's no major problem now."
"Then let's find some time for our whole family to get a full body checkup?" Shen Qingqing took the opportunity to express her plan.
Li Xunli retorted instinctively, "Why do that? If you're not sick or injured, why would the whole family do it? Even if you have money, you shouldn't spend it like that."
The older generation has a mentality of "as long as I don't get checked, I'm not sick," but Shen Qingqing can't let that go on.
She didn't know exactly when Li Xunli's lung cancer appeared, so she could only have a physical examination every year to prevent it.
"Whether you have any illnesses or ailments, you'll only know after a full physical examination. People's senses aren't always accurate, and some illnesses can't be detected by the body. By the time you can feel them, it's too late."
Shen Qingqing retorted, "Besides, if the tests show that there's nothing wrong, wouldn't that put my mind at ease?"
"Even if the tests do find something wrong, you're still so young and have money, you can get it cured in one go!"
"So that I won't suffer so much when I get older and my illness gets worse!"
Li Xunli's face grew darker and darker as she listened: "Pah, pah, pah, who are you cursing!"
Shen Qingqing quickly said, "I was just hypothesizing! The point of getting checked is to have peace of mind!"
"If you're worried about the money, then I'll pay for it!"
"Anyway, I'll be free during the National Day holiday, so I'll get a full body checkup during that time!"
Li Xunli couldn't persuade Shen Qingqing, so she had no choice but to agree.
During the meal, Shen Qingqing also informed Shen Rongzhou about this matter. Shen Rongzhou first glanced at Li Xunli and found that Li Xunli did not give him a single look, so he knew that this matter was definitely true.
The next day, when they went to look at the car, both Shen Rongzhou and Li Xunjin went.
After all, this car was carrying their wife and children, so they had to help check on it.
When I arrived at the 4S store, the two cars I had come to see last week were already on display.
The side door of the 4S store was also open, as if you could take those two cars out for a test drive at any time.
Last week they only saw pictures, but this week they can see the actual car, so the four parents are looking at it much more carefully this time.
Shen Yangyang and Li Chunchun didn't get carsick, nor did they find the smell in the car unpleasant, so they went along to join in the fun. Shen Qingqing and Shen Hong looked at it from afar, compared it with the picture book they remembered, and found that there wasn't much difference, so they sat back down with peace of mind.
The car will mainly be driven by two ladies in the future, so after the two men tested the performance, they let the two ladies take turns going up to test the height adjustment of the position.
