Chapter 69 Sweet, Sweet, Sweet Girl
Yang Yuemei's eyes were red and swollen, her eyes still brimming with tears, and her voice trembled so much that she could barely speak: "Is he... is he... still... still alive?"
The three Jiang siblings and Lu Xiangyang looked at Yang Yuemei together.
Jiang Yanni was so frightened that she immediately covered her mouth: "Didn't my dad lose his hand? How come he's gone too?"
The nurse was both speechless and amused: "What are you talking about? He's perfectly fine, don't overthink it."
"The injured person only lost three fingers, but their hand is still there, and they are perfectly healthy."
Don't scare yourselves!
Jiang Jianni breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness, I thought I really had lost a hand."
Jiang Haibing lightly tapped Jiang Yanni's head: "Then..."
The nurse said, "The patient woke up during the surgery and is fine now."
The reason the surgery took so long was because Mr. Jiang had a comminuted fracture, with too many bone fragments and shavings at the fracture site, which needed to be cleaned before bandaging could begin.
After the nurse explained, everyone realized that they had imagined Jiang's father's injuries to be far more serious.
For minor issues like a severed finger, hospitalization isn't even necessary; just regular visits to the hospital for injections and anti-inflammatory treatment are sufficient.
The coworker who brought Jiang's father over also breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that it's not serious, it's good that it's not serious."
He said with a forced smile, "Old Jiang, you should go back with your wife first. Once you get home, rest well and take good care of yourself."
"Don't worry, you're doing this to save collective property, so you deserve it. Our factory leaders will definitely give you justice."
Jiang's father's smile was forced.
Jiang's father seemed to have aged ten years in an instant, looking dejected and even more silent than before.
His hair used to be jet black, but in a short period of time, a lot of it has started to turn gray.
Yang Yuemei wanted to let him see the passbook to put her mind at ease, but she was also afraid that outsiders would see it.
When they got home and saw the money in the bankbook, Jiang's father's first reaction was the same as Jiang's mother's: "You really didn't do anything bad?"
Jiang Haibing was speechless: "What kind of image do you have of me? Am I really that bad?"
"I was just a little mischievous when I was in school, but I've been very well-behaved since I started working, okay?"
"So what if I'm not married? It's not like I've committed any heinous crime. Why do you all think so badly of me?"
Jiang's father sighed: "Look at those idle people on the street who are always causing trouble, aren't they all unmarried?"
"Once a man gets married, he understands responsibility and knows how to support his family."
Jiang Haibing: "I'm also trying to support my family now."
Jiang Jianni had nothing to say about the older generation's ideas: "Dad, Mom, Xiangyang and I are going back now. We'll come back to see you another day."
"Mom, don't go to work at the restaurant these next few days. Talk to the owner and ask for a day off to stay home and take care of Dad."
"Besides, Haiyang and Yanni are taking the college entrance exam and the middle school entrance exam respectively, so you have to take good care of them."
"Don't think about anything else for now, I'm here with my brother and me."
Jiang's father immediately frowned: "Your brother has perfectly fine legs and feet, what business is it of yours?"
"I don't have anything serious to do. You don't need to come back. Just focus on teaching your classes and being a good student."
Yang Yuemei hesitated for a moment, but considering Jiang Jiani's job, she didn't agree to let her come back.
As Jiang Jianni pushed Lu Xiangyang back, she was still indignant: "What? A married daughter is like water spilled from a cup. From now on, I am Lu Jiangshi, and I don't deserve a name. I am not a member of the Jiang family at all."
“Lu Jiangshi, hey, Lu Jiangshi.”
She muttered a few words, then suddenly realized something was wrong: "What do you mean, 'fight zombies'? Only a fool would fight zombies."
She couldn't help but slap Lu Xiangyang: "Why did you have to have the surname Lu of all people?"
Lu Xiangyang was speechless at her complaints: "Then I'll light incense for my grandfather and ask him to appear in my father's dream and change our family name?"
Jiang Jianni chuckled: "No need for that, that would make me seem so unreasonable. In the end, it's just that my surname is bad, why does it have to be Jiang?"
She has had the surname Jiang for both her lives and has never felt that there was anything wrong with the surname Jiang.
Unlike Zhao, Qian, Sun, Li, Zhou, Wu, Zheng, and Wang, which are common, they are not obscure either. Most importantly, they have fewer strokes!
It's especially good for students.
But no one expected that the Jiang family actually communicated with zombies.
Thankfully, both men and women have names now, otherwise, like before liberation when a beautiful woman was simply referred to as "Ms. So-and-so," we would really have to consider changing our surname.
Lu Xiangyang laughed the whole way because of what she said, he was happier than ever before.
Today was a rather eventful day. After returning to the Lu family home, Jiang Jianni planned to talk to the Lu family elders about the new house and invite them to see the newly renovated house.
—Although the elderly couple had already made it clear that they wouldn't be living with them anymore, as the other family was doing quite well in the retirement home.
There are guards standing at the gate, and there's a cook at home. If someone has a headache or fever, the retirement home even has a doctor to take care of them.
Moreover, the people around them were all retired from their generation, and there were people who wanted to play cards or chat.
Is it annoying to hang out with young people like that?
However, while elders may say such things, younger generations cannot actually do them.
They're living comfortably here, so why can't they go to their son and daughter-in-law's house for a few days and experience a different kind of life?
When he got home, he found two unfamiliar people in his house.
A middle-aged man in his forties with a weathered face, and a girl of seventeen or eighteen.
The girl was quite pretty; even her dowdy clothes couldn't hide her naturally delicate and beautiful features.
As Mr. Lu was engrossed in his conversation with the other party, Ms. Lu, seeing them return, pulled the two of them over and introduced them:
“Xiangyang, Jiani, this is your second cousin from our hometown, and this is your second cousin’s sister. Call her, call her…”
The little girl said in a clear voice, "My name is Lu Sitian."
Lu's mother said, "Oh dear, I've been calling you so sweetly that I can't even remember your real name."
Lu Sitian smiled sweetly: "It's okay, Second Aunt. My dad, my mom, and my brother call me Tiantian every day. When I took my elementary school exam, I even wrote my name as Lu Tiantian."
Aunt Lu laughed and said, "Oh my, this child really lives up to her name, she's so sweet."
Lu Sitian is not only sweet in appearance, but also in voice.
Moreover, she speaks Mandarin very well, crisply and clearly, like a crackling bean.
Jiang Jianni couldn't help but think that if this girl went to sing, she would definitely be so sweet that she could melt the hearts of a whole bunch of people.
My second uncle was a kind-hearted country man. He would just chuckle as his daughter spoke.
Aunt Lu steered the conversation towards him, and he stammered a couple of "uh-huhs" sounds, hurriedly pulling out two red envelopes from his pocket, and said:
"We weren't there when you got married, so please take this red envelope."
Lu Xiangyang and Jiang Jiani did not want to accept it.
Why would I accept a red envelope from someone I didn't invite to my wedding?
Besides, this second uncle's clothes were patched, he was very thin, and his hands had many chapped cuts, so it was clear that his family was not well-off.
They don't need these few coins, why would they need this little bit of money from others?
Seeing their hesitation, Lu's father said, "Your second uncle is just showing his appreciation, so please take it."
The second uncle smiled sheepishly and stretched out his hand holding the red envelope towards the two of them.
