Li Qiumei was busy talking to Xiao Qinqin on the phone, so she asked Yuanbao to open the door.
"Mom, my aunt is here."
Li Qiuxiang came in carrying a few bags.
"Sister, please sit down for a moment. Yuanbao will pour your aunt a glass of water."
Li Qiuxiang nodded and brought the things to the kitchen.
Yuanbao poured some water for his aunt and ran back to his room. Cheng Zhiming was lying on Yuanbao's bed reading a novel.
Yuanbao was lying next to him, reading comics.
Li Qiumei hung up the phone and asked, "Sister, did you ask for leave to come here?"
Li Qiuxiang hummed, "I brought you some fruits and vegetables."
Li Qiumei frowned, "Not only is it tiring to come all this way, but the tofu is priced like meat."
Li Qiuxiang took out a pear she had brought with her and started peeling it. "My colleagues and I took a ride here. It's easy to get here, so it's not tiring."
Li Qiumei walked over and opened the bag, and there were really all kinds of fruits, vegetables and everything else.
She pushed open the door of Yuanbao's room and saw Cheng Zhiming tutoring Yuanbao with his homework, and she couldn't help but smile.
"You two have been working so hard, what would you like to eat tonight?"
Yuanbao smiled and said, "Mom, I want to eat the big meat buns made by my aunt."
"Zhiming, what about you?"
Cheng Zhiming scratched his head and said, "Sister-in-law, I want to eat big meat buns too."
Li Qiuxiang came over with a peeled pear and said, "I picked these from the pear tree in your grandmother's yard. Try them, they're so sweet.
If you want some big meat buns, your mom and I will make them for you in a minute."
"Thank you, Auntie!"
"Thank you, Auntie!"
Li Qiumei opened the refrigerator door and found some pork and vegetables inside.
She took out a piece of meat and asked Li Qiuxiang, "Sister, do you think this is enough meat to make a big meat bun?
If it's not enough, how about I call Xiao Wu and ask him to buy some for us?"
Li Qiuxiang took the meat and looked at it, "There is a little less meat.
But, let’s not bother Xiao Wu anymore, we can just go out and buy some.”
Li Qiumei nodded, "Okay, let's go now."
Li Qiumei took her wallet and followed her sister out of the house.
The two went to a nearby vegetable market, picked out some fresh pork and seasonings, and then went home to start making big meat buns.
Li Qiuxiang took the apron and said, "Qiumei, Xiaopeng has broken up with Xiaofang."
Li Qiumei was stunned. "Is this true?"
"Of course it's true. Xiaopeng told us himself."
Li Qiuxiang began to knead the dough while saying, "Liao Xiaofang's family is urging them to get engaged because they want their twin sons to be able to transfer to Beishan County for school when school starts in September."
Li Qiumei's phone rang again, and Cheng Zhiqian said he would not come back for dinner.
Li Qiuxiang looked at the large bowl of noodles and asked, "Qiumei, is this too much? I can't finish it."
Li Qiumei took the kitchen knife and began to chop the meat. "If you can't finish it, put it in the refrigerator and eat it slowly! Go on with the story about Xiaopeng."
Li Qiuxiang thought for a moment and said, "After the recognition that day, Xiaopeng went to talk to Xiaofang.
Unexpectedly, Xiaofang also fully supported her parents' decision.
She told Xiaopeng that when her two younger brothers become successful in the future, they will also be able to benefit from it.
She also told Xiaopeng that she would pay for her brother's tuition and would not ask Xiaopeng to spend a penny.
Li Qiuxiang herself laughed, "Qiumei, I thought this girl was smart, but I didn't expect she is just like me.
Xiaopeng told her, "I don't have the ability to help your brother transfer to another school. Go find someone who can help you. Let's break up."
Li Qiuxiang sighed after she finished speaking, "Qiumei, why is Xiaopeng's marriage so unsuccessful?
My colleague said that in their hometown, if someone like Xiaopeng keeps encountering bad luck, they have to find a master to help them get rid of the bad luck.
Li Qiumei smiled and comforted her, "It's okay, we'll take our time to find him. Xiaopeng isn't that old, why are you so anxious?"
After lunch the next day, Li Qiuxiang left to go to the hospital to visit Li Guofu.
Seeing that only Li Qiuxiang came, Hu Lanying sighed, "Did Qiumei say anything?"
Li Qiuxiang told her, "Didn't Qiumei take Yuanbao to travel to the capital? I didn't call to ask."
"Is my dad feeling better?"
Li Guofu smiled and said, "Much better. Your mother said it's rare for you to live here, so you should go back when you're better."
Li Qiuxiang frowned, "This disease won't be cured in a short time. You guys just need to do your best. Don't make it difficult for Cheng Zhiqian."
Hu Lanying wouldn't listen. With Cheng Zhiqian's official position, what would happen if he stayed a few more days?
When hospitalized here, not only are the doctors highly skilled, but even the nurses in charge of their beds take good care of the elderly couple on a daily basis.
Of course, the most important thing is that no one has ever come to urge them to pay the hospital bills.
This means that Cheng Zhiqian has already paid their hospital fees in full, so they have to wait until they are fully cured before leaving.
Seeing that Hu Lanying didn't say anything, Li Qiuxiang felt a little worried and repeated it again.
Hu Lanying raised her eyelids and asked, "What's so difficult for Cheng Zhiqian to do?
He married the daughter that your father and I raised with great difficulty without giving us a penny of dowry. It is only natural that he should pay some of your father's hospital expenses now.
Don’t worry about this matter!
Of course, you must not tell Qiu Mei!"
An old lady came in, supporting an old man. "Oh, this is your little daughter?"
Hu Lanying shook her head. "This is the eldest daughter. The youngest daughter took the children to travel to Beijing before the old man was hospitalized. She hasn't returned yet."
The old lady helped the old man onto the bed and said with a smile: "Sister, you are so lucky!
Your eldest daughter has a formal job, and your youngest daughter is a businesswoman and married to a high-ranking official. You two old couple have much more blessings to come."
A middle-aged woman and her son also walked in, and they also echoed, "These old couple are really blessed."
Needless to say, Hu Lanying must have been bragging about Qiu Mei and Cheng Zhiqian in the ward again.
Li Qiuxiang was only half right. Hu Lanying not only boasted in the ward, but also ran to the small garden of the inpatient department to boast.
Many old ladies know that Hu Lanying is the mother-in-law of a senior leader.
Li Qiuxiang took out a thousand yuan from her bag and handed it to Hu Lanying, "Mom, buy my dad something he wants to eat.
I have to leave soon because I have to go to work tomorrow."
When Hu Lanying saw that everyone had seen the thousand yuan, she slowly put it into her wallet.
"Okay, I'll see you off then."
Li Guofu also sat up and said, "I'll go out for a walk too."
The three of them walked slowly towards the hospital gate.
Hu Lanying asked Li Qiuxiang, "What did Liao Xiaofang say?"
"We broke up."
Hu Lanying stopped and looked at Li Qiuxiang, "Really?"
"It can't be fake! Xiaopeng said it himself."
Hu Lanying clasped her hands together and said, "Amitabha, thank God!
Finally it was divided.”
Li Qiuxiang couldn't help but laugh, "Mom, are you so happy that Xiaopeng broke up?"
