Chapter 249 Returning to a Family Compound in Shanghai (2/2)



"cough."

Ruan Tang coughed lightly, and the two of them immediately started packing their things seriously.

Ruan Tang tried hard to suppress the corners of her mouth that were curled up. She walked in front of the two of them with her hands behind her back and waved around. "Who was it that cried and shouted for a divorce back then? Does your face hurt?"

After making two red faces, Ruan Tang left with satisfaction.

As soon as I went out, I met Meng Yun and Liu Xiangyun. They were arm in arm and were planning to go for a walk around the area.

"I'll go around first and see how everyone else is doing."

Ruan Tang asked for a registration form from the front desk downstairs and found the person in charge of each hospital according to the room number.

"I live in Room 2 on the second floor. If you need help, you can come find me there."

After finishing the conversation, Ruan Tang went back to her room to catch up on some sleep.

After the cub woke up, the two of them prepared to look for food.

After leaving the guesthouse and walking on the streets of Shanghai, Ji Nanfeng tilted his head to look at Ruan Tang beside him. "Did you grow up here when you were a child?"

There are tall sycamore trees on the roadside, and people are walking and laughing under the trees in groups of three or four, full of vitality.

The middle of the road is paved with stone bricks, and both sides are asphalt roads. There is a constant flow of traffic on the road.

This is where Ruan Tang was born and raised.

He was born in a small village in Hongyang County, where the roads are slippery every three steps when it rains.

If Ruan Tang hadn't come to the countryside, they would never have been together in this life or the next.

Ruan Tang knew what Ji Nanfeng was thinking. She gently hugged Ji Nanfeng's arm and quickly let go.

She hadn't been back for so many years, and she didn't know if the sports movement in Shanghai was still intense, so she didn't dare to do anything intimate with Ji Nanfeng outside.

"Do you want to go for a stroll around Huyi's compound?"

Ji Nanfeng's eyes lit up, "Is it okay?"

"Of course! My parents are busy with work, so I've been eating in the cafeteria at Huyi since I was a child. If the uncles and aunties in the cafeteria hadn't replaced their employees, maybe we could have a good meal together."

When talking about these things, Ruan Tang's voice became much lighter.

Ruan Tang couldn't help but say that the uncle in the cafeteria knew that she was a little glutton, so he always filled her bowl with rice and vegetables, and his hands never shook.

The two of them took a taxi and arrived at the gate of Shanghai No. 1 Hospital in just ten minutes.

Ruan Tang led Ji Nanfeng around to the alley at the back, and after turning a few alleys they arrived at the family compound.

The security guard was wearing reading glasses and didn't dare to recognize Ruan Tang at first when he saw her.

It was Ruan Tang who called out first. "Uncle, you don't recognize me. I'm Ruan Tang from the Ruan family. I went to the countryside a few years ago."

"Oh, it's Xiao Tang'er. You've grown up so much that your uncle doesn't even recognize you." The security guard came out of the guard room and took Ruan Tang's hand to greet her.

When the old relatives passing by saw that it was Ruan Tang, they also joined the large group of people exchanging greetings.

"Xiao Tang'er, you've lost weight. Was life in the countryside hard? I heard from Du Xueqing that you found an old farmer in the countryside to marry. He's seven or eight years older than you. I wonder if he's loving."

"I heard from the Du family that your husband is a big, dark man with a lot of strength. He beats people to death. Has he ever hit you?"

"I heard your father has been transferred to Beijing. Ask him to find you a job to escape the shambles. After you get a divorce, you can find a new city man."

"Yes, many people here do this. We are all educated youth who were delayed in the countryside. We don't care whether the other party has been married in the countryside or not. As long as both parties are working, their future life will not be bad."

Ruan Tang's smile faded. She pushed the crowd aside and pulled Ji Nanfeng in front of everyone.

"Let me introduce to you all, this is my man, Ji Nanfeng."

"He's a retired soldier with a job. He'll never point his fist at me."

"Also, we live a happy life, no worse than some working couples. We also have a child, so we won't get divorced."

When everyone heard this, they all looked a little embarrassed. After all, they were being treated as a fool and heard them advising someone to divorce.

After Ruan Tang finished speaking, she pulled Ji Nanfeng away.

But the kid in the vegetable basket started whining.

"Xiao Tang'er, your man has been holding this thing in his hand. Could it be your child inside? Let us take a look. Does it look like you when you were a child?"

Ruan Tang calmly brushed away the outstretched hand and refused: "It's cold, so I won't bring it out for everyone to see. Let's wait for another day."

As soon as Ruan Tang left, everyone couldn't help but curl their lips.

"We said such words to break up a marriage for Xiao Tang'er's own good, but we didn't expect Xiao Tang'er to turn against us for a country boy. Our old neighbor of more than ten years is not as good as a country boy."

"Yeah, Xiao Tang'er must have been coaxed around by this country boy. When Old Ruan was in the family compound, didn't he just hate to hear people say bad things about his wife? She's so soft-hearted that she'll listen if you coax her."

"I used to hear that Old Ruan treated Xiao Tang'er well, but after she died, I found out that he had been transferred to a large hospital in Beijing, leaving his daughter to suffer in the countryside. How can this be considered loving a daughter?"

Ruan Tang walked away angrily.

Ji Nanfeng was originally very angry, but when he saw Ruan Tang so angry, he miraculously stopped being angry.

"I'm not angry, so don't be angry either."

Ruan Tang rubbed her face and said, "I was so happy that I lost myself. I only thought about revisiting the old place. I forgot that even my father was sent down to the countryside. The other uncles and aunts who were on good terms with my family should have been sent down as well."

Ruan Tang walked out of the alley in a hurry. As the sun shone, her rationality gradually returned.

"Look, I'm so mad, and we haven't even had a meal yet."

I was so angry that I didn't even get to eat. What a pity.

This time, Ruan Tang took Ji Nanfeng into Shanghai No. 1 Hospital and went straight to the cafeteria.

Because it was past mealtime, there were not many people eating in the cafeteria.

Ruan Tang leaned on the window where the food was served and called for help.

After a while, a burly man came out with an impatient look on his face.

"Uncle Big Eyes!"

The man called Uncle Big Eyes heard the familiar voice and saw Ruan Tang's face, and happily threw away the rag in his hand.

The two of them started chatting face to face across the window where they were getting their meals.

"Xiao Tang'er, you're back! I haven't seen you for four or five years. You've grown up."

"Well, I'm married and have kids, so I have to grow up."

When Uncle Big Eyes heard that Ruan Tang was married, he praised her several times.

Ruan Tang happily pulled Ji Nanfeng to the window where they got food so that Uncle Big Eyes could see him.

Ji Nanfeng squatted down helplessly to let the uncle with big eyes see clearly.

After looking at Ji Nanfeng, Ruan Tang asked Ji Nanfeng to hold up the basket of vegetables for Uncle Big Eyes to see again.

"My dad said that my little Baibai looks a lot like me when I was a kid."

Uncle Big Eyes stood on tiptoe and looked hard at the vegetable basket...

"I say, can you guys come out and sit here and reminisce?"

Ruan Tang: ...

Uncle Big Eyes: ...

"What about my brain! I was so happy that I was confused and dragged Xiao Tang'er to play around with me."

After all, their little Tang'er had been smart since childhood, so how could he be confused? Even if he was happy, it was impossible for him to be confused.

Uncle Big Eyes came out of the kitchen and finally held the baby in his arms.

"Yes, he looks exactly like Xiao Tang'er when he was little. You can tell at first glance that he's a smart kid."
