The reason for not choosing Saturday was that Li Chunchun was going to be taken to her maternal grandmother's house by her aunt. Shen Qingqing also remembered that she had not been to her great-grandmother's house since the start of the school year, so she specially set an alarm for Saturday morning and did not let herself sleep until she woke up naturally.
Since Shen Rongzhou didn't have to go to work on Saturday, it was a good time to take her to her great-grandmother's house.
Unexpectedly, when Shen Qingqing woke up on Saturday morning, she saw her father coming out of his room with a mug in his hand.
As soon as he saw her, he quickly stopped her, put a finger to his lips, and whispered, "Your mother has a headache, she probably has a cold. She went to use the restroom over there today, and we took all her things with her."
Shen Qingqing glanced at the closed door. "Don't you need to see a doctor?"
Shen Rongzhou pulled her into the living room. "Let's try some Sanjiu and Xiaochaihu first. If the condition gets worse this afternoon, we'll have to go see a doctor."
Shen Qingqing nodded.
"Why are you up so early today?" Shen Rongzhou poured himself another cup of hot water and asked.
“I originally wanted you to take me to Grandma’s, I haven’t seen her in so long.” Shen Qingqing sighed, then glanced worriedly at the master bedroom. “But let’s take care of Mom first.”
Shen Rongzhou thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. You can take Yangyang and Xiaohong to visit Grandma today, so your mother can rest well at home. If she's feeling better this afternoon, I'll come and pick you up."
"If your mother needs to see a doctor this afternoon, we'll feel more at ease if you stay with Grandma."
Shen Qingqing thought that Shen Yangyang and Shen Hong would also be rehearsing at home, which would definitely disturb her mother's rest, so she agreed to Shen Rongzhou's suggestion: "Okay, then I'll go call them now."
Shen Rongzhou nodded and carried the hot water back to the master bedroom.
After washing herself up, Shen Qingqing went to the kitchen and took out a bag of corn buns and small longevity peaches from the refrigerator. She put them in the steamer to steam before waking people up.
Shen Yangyang and Shen Hong, who were forcibly dug out of the cool air-conditioned room by Shen Qingqing, looked bewildered.
Seeing the digital clock on the wall in the living room, which showed that it was not yet eight o'clock in the morning, the two of them grumbled and lay down on the sofa.
"Sister, why did you wake us up so early..."
Shen Hong fell down and stopped moving, while Shen Yangyang was still muttering to herself.
"Mom isn't feeling well today and needs to rest at home. We're going to visit Grandma. We'll come back this afternoon when Mom feels a bit better."
"You can also show the rehearsed program to Grandma while you're at it."
After Shen Qingqing finished speaking, the two children who were lying on the sofa sat up.
"What's wrong with Mom?" Shen Yangyang looked at Shen Qingqing with a somewhat bewildered expression.
Shen Qingqing pulled her up and pushed her towards the bathroom: "Dad said it's a cold and headache, and he needs to rest more, so he told us to go to Grandma's place and not disturb Mom's sleep at home."
After the two finished washing up, the corn buns and small longevity peaches in the steamer were also steamed and served.
When they had almost finished eating, Shen Rongzhou, dressed neatly, came out of the master bedroom.
When Shen Rongzhou drove them to the ancestral hall, they happened to run into Zheng Wanyu coming out of the alley.
"Grandma!" Shen Qingqing called out to the elderly woman with her silver hair as soon as she saw her.
When Zheng Wanyu looked over, she pulled Shen Yangyang and Shen Hong over and ran over.
Zheng Wanyu smiled when she saw Shen Qingqing. She stood there lovingly watching Shen Qingqing lead her younger siblings to her. She looked the three children over from left to right before turning her gaze to Shen Rongzhou, who was following behind them. Not seeing her beloved granddaughter, she asked, "Rongzhou, why are you the only one here?"
Shen Rongzhou told Li Xunli that she was not feeling well and was resting at home, and then said that the three children could stay with her until the afternoon before he would come to pick them up.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Wanyu immediately hugged the three children and said, "Alright, alright, I understand. Then you should go back and check on your sister! You can rest assured with the children here!"
Shen Rongzhou nodded, then gave the children a few more instructions, telling them to be obedient, not to run around, and to stay close to their great-grandmother before leaving.
After Shen Qingqing saw Shen Rongzhou leave, she turned to Zheng Wanyu and asked, "Grandma, were you going out just now?"
Zheng Wanyu hugged Shen Qingqing and said with a smile, "Yes, I originally wanted to go to my parents' house, but since you're here, I'll play with you."
Shen Qingqing thought for a moment, "Then what are you going back for?"
"Let me go back and get the last batch of lychees." Zheng Wanyu led her three children home.
Shen Qingqing's eyes lit up: "Shall we go pick them?"
“No, I just went to get it; they picked it themselves,” Zheng Wanyu replied.
Shen Qingqing had never experienced picking fruit before. In her previous life, she was a homebody and was restricted from going out by her elders. As a result, she stopped liking to go out and could only hear her classmates discussing where they went to pick strawberries or lychees when she was at school.
But this time, she was no longer confined to the house by her parents. Although she still didn't like going out, she now had the opportunity to actively explore the outside world.
To make up for some small regrets I didn't experience in my past life.
Zheng Wanyu understood Shen Qingqing's unspoken meaning, "Do you want to go pick lychees? If so, we can find a tricycle and go right now!"
"Yes, yes!" the three of them immediately gave an affirmative answer.
Zheng Wanyu put away the key she was about to use to open the door, and then tightly took the three children's hands again and walked towards the main road.
