Chapter 80 I Won't Make Things Difficult for Myself



This is the voice of the adorable little kid, Xiao Wu.

The adorable little boy thought for a moment and then spoke up: "Big brother, hello sister-in-law, be good."

"I see."

Qin Yanzheng's somewhat thin face was expressionless as he said, "Thank you for your hard work." Song Lan could tell that the man in front of her was speaking to her!

"If you don't want me to suffer, then you should focus on recovering and get better soon."

Hearing Song Lan say this, Qin Yanzheng replied, "Okay."

"I'll go to the kitchen and see if the chicken soup is ready."

On her way back from Shisong Village yesterday, Song Lan took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and took out an old hen from the "Divine Doctor Valley" space and tied it to the handlebars. She thought that if Qin Yanzheng woke up after she gave him acupuncture, he could drink some chicken soup to replenish his nutrition.

So, after administering acupuncture last night and confirming that Qin Yanzheng would be fully awake by this morning at the latest, Song Lan got up early this morning, cleaned the old hen, and put it on the stove to simmer over low heat.

"Little Five and Little Six, you two stay here with your eldest brother. Second brother will go to the kitchen to see if sister-in-law needs any help." After Song Lan left, Qin Boyan said this to his younger siblings, then greeted Wu Dong and Qin Yanzheng before quickly heading to the kitchen.

Qin Yanzheng hadn't heard Qin Yaxin's voice, so he asked the little girl Xiao Wu, "Where's your second sister?" He determined Xiao Wu's location based on the direction of the sound and then turned to look over.

"They probably haven't gotten up yet."

The adorable child, Xiao Wu, responded.

"Don't you have to go to school today?"

Qin Yanzheng asked.

"Yes, but my second sister threw a tantrum last night and didn't eat. She also didn't get up early with us like she did the past few days." Little Wu said in his still-childish voice, "Big brother, my second sister is not well-behaved at all. Remember to scold her when you're better!"

Why is your second sister throwing a tantrum?

Qin Yanzheng asked again.

"I don't know," said the adorable little girl, "but I do know that before we moved, my second sister would throw tantrums at my sister-in-law because she didn't want to leave our old home."

"Okay, I understand, brother."

Qin Yanzheng replied, turning his head towards where Wu Dong was standing: "Comrade Wu?"

"Comrade Qin, just call me Wu Dong. I'm under orders from Leader Guan to take care of you until you recover." Qin Yanzheng thanked Wu Dong after hearing his words.

Wu Dong: "This is what I should do, Comrade Qin, you don't need to be so polite with me."

kitchen.

"Second brother, bring breakfast to the table, and tell Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu to wash up and eat. Oh, and call Comrade Wu too."

Jiang Li took the casserole off the stove, then casually picked up a small enamel bowl, filled it halfway with clear chicken soup, and placed it on the cutting board to cool. She said, "I'll go help your older brother wash up. I'll give it to him when the chicken soup has cooled down a bit."

"Did you buy that chicken, sister-in-law?"

Looking at the casserole, Qin Boyan asked.

"Um."

Song Lan nodded, and then she helped Qin Boyan carry breakfast out of the kitchen. When she arrived at the room where Qin Boyan and Wu Dong were staying, she saw Wu Dong taking care of Qin Yanzheng's washing up. She went up to him and said, "The food is on the table. Go and eat. I'll do it."

However, Wu Dong shook his head: "You eat first, I'll be done soon. Besides, you have to go to work later." Taking the mouthwash cup from Qin Yanzheng, Wu Dong bent down to pick up the spittoon on the ground and left the room in a few steps.

"Qin Yanzheng".

Song Lan walked to the bedside and sat down in the chair next to it. She looked at the man and said, "You probably have a lot of questions right now, but don't worry, I'll explain them to you in a simple way."

"good."

Qin Yanzheng nodded slightly.

"First of all, we're no longer in Beijing. To be more precise, we're now at the Hongxing Machinery Factory, which is under the main factory. It's more than 200 kilometers away from Beijing, and I've been transferred to work at the staff hospital of this branch factory."

My second brother and sister are already attending middle school in a nearby town, while my youngest brother and sister attend kindergarten in our staff and family residential area.

After a brief pause, Song Lan continued, "Dad was working at a forest farm not far away because of a little incident. I visited him yesterday. He's a bit thinner, but his spirits are pretty good. You don't need to worry about him."

Although Song Lan had said these things to Qin Yanzheng, Qin Yanzheng was in a coma at the time, and Song Lan did not know that he was conscious. Therefore, she felt it was necessary to briefly mention the situation at home to Qin Yanzheng again.

"Thanks!"

Two words escaped Qin Yanzheng's lips.

“We’re husband and wife, so you don’t need to thank me. Otherwise, it would seem too formal.” Song Lan’s voice was clear and gentle. “I don’t know if Comrade Wu told you that you actually have a job at the machinery factory, and you’re the deputy factory director in charge of technology.”

Qin Yanzheng shook his head and said, "I haven't heard Wu Dong mention it."

"They probably didn't have time for it."

Song Lan said, "That's basically the situation at home. Do you have any other questions?"

"Mom, she..."

Qin Yanzheng had guessed that his mother no longer recognized him, but he still couldn't help but feel a sliver of hope that he would hear the good news that his mother was alright.

However, he was destined to be disappointed.

Song Lan said, "Because Dad had a sudden accident, Mom couldn't bear the shock and was rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery, but she couldn't hold on for long..."

"I see."

Qin Yanzheng was clearly in a very low mood.

"Qin Yanzheng, you..."

Losing a loved one is painful for anyone, and Song Lan didn't know how to comfort the other person.

"I'm fine."

Composing himself, Qin Yanzheng said, "Go eat quickly, or you'll be late for work."

Song Lan: "I made you some chicken soup. Also, the porridge this morning was millet porridge. Have some of both later."

Qin Yanzheng hummed in agreement.

Song Lan: "Then I'll go out."

Qin Yanzheng gave another soft "hmm," and when he heard Song Lan move her feet, he said, "I'll teach Second Sister a lesson later, so don't be angry because of her."

Stopping in her tracks, Song Lan turned back, a smile playing on her lips, and said, "I won't make things difficult for myself." With that, she left without lingering.

Qin Yanzheng stared blankly at the doorway for a long time, even though he couldn't see it. After a while, he leaned back against the headboard and murmured, "There's really no need to make things difficult for myself."

After all, getting angry is bad for your health, and it's not worth getting upset over other people's words.

Breakfast was simple.

Each of the two children received a boiled egg.

The main dishes were millet porridge, steamed buns with pickled vegetables, and a plate of stir-fried green beans.

"Sister-in-law, I'm full!"

The adorable little boy, Xiao Wu, put down his little spoon and called to Song Lan to look at the empty bowl in front of him.

"Okay, after your sister-in-law finishes braiding Xiao Liu's hair, we'll send you to kindergarten." Song Lan had finished eating by now. She called Qin Yanzheng to take the bowls and chopsticks to the kitchen, and then called the adorable Xiao Liu to the yard. She picked up a comb and quickly tied two little flower buds on the little girl's head.

Touching the little flower bud on her head, and then touching the little bell on the bud, the little girl's eyes curved into crescent moons with joy.

"Alright, go get your backpack with your brother, and we'll leave after your sister-in-law finishes washing the dishes."
