"Brother Shen, my brother said he'll come to see you when he has some free time these next few days."
"Oh, okay."
Shen Xianjun was so startled he almost jumped up.
After staring at the doorway for a while to make sure no one would suddenly appear, Shen Xianjun finally relaxed.
The chicken soup was golden and oily, and it smelled good, but it was a bit too oily. Shen Xianjun glanced at it, but didn't rush to drink it. Instead, he took out the appointment letter and opened it to read it.
Footsteps suddenly sounded at the door. Shen Xianjun subconsciously hid the appointment letter and stared at the door.
"Let me check your wound. Is this chicken soup from home? Chicken soup is fine to drink, but it's too oily and not good for your recovery."
The doctor saw the opening in the chicken soup on the table, and then waited for Shen Xianjun to lift the blanket himself.
Shen Xianjun didn't mention the chicken soup incident; instead, he pulled back the covers.
"Yes, you're recovering well. When you were brought here, we were all afraid we wouldn't be able to save you. It was your comrades who came to donate blood for you, and you were pulled back from the brink of death after several surgeries."
The doctor performed some other examinations, and at that moment Yang Yufen brought Qin Nian and the child to the door.
"Doctor, how is his wound? When can he be discharged?"
When Yang Yufen came in and saw the doctor, she couldn't help but ask him questions.
Upon hearing this, Shen Xianjun eagerly awaited the doctor's reply.
"Stay for another seven days, and you can be discharged once the stitches are removed. By the way, the patient needs to strengthen their nutrition, but the oil in this chicken soup needs to be skimmed off. Fish and shrimp are not allowed, but everything else is fine."
The doctor, being very responsible, said a few more words and then left the family alone.
Yang Yufen glanced at the chicken soup on the table without saying anything, and opened the chicken noodle soup she had brought.
"..."
Qin Nian looked at Shen Xianjun and didn't know how to address him. She used to call him Comrade Shen. Although they were married, their relationship was just so-so. But now she had a good relationship with her mother-in-law, and it seemed inappropriate to call him too distantly, especially since they had two children.
"Da Bao, Er Bao, call me Daddy. This is Da Bao, this is Er Bao."
After thinking for a moment, Qin Nian simply pushed the child out.
"dad?"
Da Bao looked at the unshaven Shen Xianjun and asked in confusion. Er Bao stood next to his brother without saying a word. This father was a bit scary. He didn't look like his uncle or Uncle Wang.
"Eh."
Shen Xianjun stared blankly at the two identical children for a moment, then responded.
His mother didn't tell him he had two children!
"Eat first, then I'll shave your face later, it scared the child."
Yang Yufen shoved the chopsticks and lunchbox into Chen Xianjun's hands with a huff.
"Mom, I'll get ready in a bit. I'm really craving your handmade noodles."
Shen Xianjun was immediately moved when he saw the soup noodles in the lunchbox.
"Hmph, you wouldn't go without food even if I didn't bring it to you. Niannian, come sit down. You must be tired after a long day at work. Dabao and Erbao, come to Grandma's. Don't be afraid."
Yang Yufen, with a quick change of expression, coaxed the two children to her side, and Qin Nian obediently sat down next to Yang Yufen.
Shen Xianjun wasn't annoyed by being criticized. He picked up his noodles and started eating. To be honest, although his mother always complained about him, she made really authentic hand-pulled noodles. This was the noodles he craved the most.
One scoop, and you get not only green vegetables but also chicken legs!
Qin Nian watched carefully from the side. Her mother-in-law seemed to treat Shen Xianjun differently than she treated her. However, this was probably only the case between a mother and son. They weren't afraid of creating a rift between them. Her mother-in-law was always very accommodating and polite to her.
