Chapter 106 Red Envelope
The next day after burning incense was the second day of the Lunar New Year, and I should have visited relatives to pay New Year's greetings.
Thinking of the attitude of her aunts, uncles and cousins towards her, Tian Xin asked her mother for leave and went to the hospital to visit Zhang Shuai.
It's been more than ten days since I went back home, and I still don't know how Zhang Shuai is recovering. His mother has been taking care of him during this period, so I guess he's recovering well.
When she reached the hospital building, she went to a nearby store and bought some milk snacks.
Zhang Shuai can't eat much right now, so she cooked some porridge when she came. She brought something because it's Chinese New Year, and she can't leave empty-handed, since her elders are around.
As soon as she entered the gate, a Volkswagen parked in the parking space outside the hospital.
Zhang Feng got out of the car and walked in at a distance of 20 meters from her. The hospital was crowded, so she didn't notice.
Zhang Shuai lives on the 5th floor. Tian Xin went to the bathroom on the 2nd floor. Zhang Feng didn’t see her and went straight to the 4th floor only to find that she was gone!
He was looking around and accidentally saw an acquaintance.
Lin Hai and Lin Zhou came up from the third floor, carrying a bunch of things, as if they were going to pay New Year's greetings!
He didn't know Lin Zhou, but he had met Lin Hai at the factory, though they weren't very familiar with each other. Apart from chatting in the weighing room, they had rarely spoken to each other in private.
He was just about to go up and say hello when he saw Tian Xin following him from behind. If she saw him here, the scene would definitely be very embarrassing, so he immediately turned around and walked into the corridor.
After the three people went up one after another, he hurried over and followed them.
By the time they reached the 5th floor, the three men had walked a long way, but they had not yet reached the ward.
Tian Xin seemed to see the two people in front and shouted: "Lin Zhou!"
The two of them turned around at the same time, and when they saw it was her, the one called "Lin Zhou" was very surprised. He immediately turned around and walked towards her with a smile on his face.
The three of them exchanged a few words in the corridor and then went into a ward together.
Zhang Feng watched at the stairs for a long time until they went in. He immediately turned around and went downstairs to buy a fruit basket and snacks, then went back to the fifth floor and entered the ward.
"Zhang Feng? Why are you here?" Zhang Shuai was lying on the bed and was surprised to see Zhang Feng come in.
Tian Xin was also surprised. She probably had guessed what was going on. When she saw Zhang Feng for the first time, her face instantly dropped!
Lin Zhou noticed this scene. He turned his head to look at Zhang Feng, then looked at Tian Xin's expression, feeling a little confused. But he kept silent and continued to observe Zhang Feng.
Lin Hai frowned when he saw Zhang Feng. What kind of relationship did this guy have with Zhang Shuai? If he remembered correctly, he and Zhang Shuai had argued before the accident! It was unknown what the argument was about, but the relationship between the two of them wasn't good enough for him to visit him in the hospital.
Something is wrong!
This was the unanimous opinion of several people in the ward.
"Oh, the factory director asked me to come and see you on his behalf. His home is far away, and he went back to celebrate the New Year!" Zhang Feng saw what several people were thinking, so he stopped pretending and directly used the factory director to block the knife.
"Really? The factory director is so nice. Come on, come on, have a seat!" Zhang Shuai quickly greeted him. No matter how things usually go, once they come, they are guests. You can't just kick them out.
"Okay, Happy New Year everyone!" Zhang Feng brought the things in his hand over, and Zhang Shuai's mother quickly took it and said thank you.
Zhang Shuai was staying in a single room with only one bed and two stools.
When Zhang Feng came in, Tian Xin and Lin Zhou each took a seat, while Lin Hai and Zhang Shuai's mother stood nearby. Now that Zhang Feng was here, there were no more stools, so they had to stand.
Tian Xin was feeding porridge to Zhang Shuai. She showed no intention of getting up and didn't even look at Zhang Feng.
Lin Zhou has been observing Zhang Feng and has not gotten up!
Lin Hai doesn’t care!
Zhang Shuai’s mother was the host and didn’t mind standing.
Only Zhang Feng was extremely embarrassed!
He looked around at everyone and was the first to speak: "What's going on?"
Zhang Shuai could speak fluently now, and replied: "That's it, half dead!" Then he chuckled.
When Tian Xin heard him say "half dead", she put away the spoon and glared at him: "Tsk, nothing else to say? Shut up if you can't talk!"
A few people heard her cursing and laughed along.
Zhang Shuai bared his teeth and laughed until his face trembled: "Boss, curse more! I love to hear it!"
Tian Xin was speechless! She took a piece of paper and wiped his mouth, then cursed him again: "How shameless! Who would ask for a scolding?"
Zhang Shuai's mother should have been the one feeding the baby, but Tian Xin hadn't been to the hospital for a long time and insisted on feeding the baby herself.
Seeing how attentively she took care of Zhang Shuai, Lin Zhou felt a little jealous. But he knew what was going on between them, so he didn't take it too seriously.
But Zhang Feng was wrong. This scene completely broke his defense. He allowed Tian Xin to scold him and say that he didn't care about him because he knew that as long as he kept treating her well, he would be able to move her one day.
But he couldn't tolerate Tian Xin having someone else in her heart.
She is serving Zhang Shuai like this now, and they are so close, what is their relationship?
It turns out that she rejected him because of Zhang Shuai!
No wonder! When he was at the factory, he noticed that these two people often met. At first, he thought it was Zhang Shuai who was pestering Tian Xin. But now it seems that these two people are already in love with each other and are inseparable!
The man's competitive spirit reached its peak at this moment, and he secretly clenched his fists.
"Thank you for coming to see Zhang Shuai today!" Zhang Shuai's mother suddenly spoke: "It's Chinese New Year, come, everyone will get a red envelope, take it, don't hesitate!"
Several people present were stunned!
Red envelope?
Let’s not talk about whether it’s weird to give out red envelopes in the ward, just look at the ages of the people: two are in their thirties, and one is in his forties!
Who else would dare to take the call except Tian Xin?
No one dared, and no one really answered!
When Zhang Shuai's mother saw that no one picked up the phone, she awkwardly forced it on a few people.
Lin Zhou took it and thanked him generously. Lin Hai followed suit.
Seeing that he had accepted it, Zhang Feng felt embarrassed to refuse, so he took it reluctantly and held it in his hand, as if he had accepted a hot potato.
But strangely, Zhang Shuai’s mother only gave it to the three older boys and not to Tian Xin.
She was still feeding Zhang Shuai and didn't even look back!
"Mom, where's Tian Xin's?" Zhang Shuai was unhappy when he saw that he didn't give it to the eldest brother!
"Eat your meal well! Don't choke!" Zhang Shuai's mother gave her son a wink and said lightly.
Zhang Shuai frowned, as if he didn't understand what his mother meant. He turned his head and opened his mouth. Tian Xin fed him a bowl of porridge one spoonful at a time.
Her attentiveness and patience put even Zhang Shuai's mother to shame. Caring for patients is a physically demanding job, and during this period, most of the work was done by the nursing staff, with Zhang Shuai's mother just helping out.
But Tian Xin was very serious and didn't feel any dislike towards Zhang Shuai. The ward was actually filled with various smells, but she didn't care and took good care of him.
"Okay, let me do it! You go wash your hands and take a rest!" Zhang Shuai's mother took the bowl from Tian Xin's hand to wash it, and handed her a piece of paper.
Tian Xin took the paper and wiped Zhang Shuai's mouth, then covered him with the quilt and went to the bathroom.
When she came out after washing her hands, Zhang Shuai's mother had returned, holding a red envelope.
When she came over, she said directly: "This is for you!"
"ah?"
Tian Xin took a step back and waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, Auntie, don't give it to me! I...I I I don't want it!"
"That won't work. Look how generous these guys are. Take it quickly! It's New Year's Day!" Zhang Shuai's mother insisted on stuffing it into her hands.
"Auntie, you're making me afraid to come! No, no, no! I don't want it!"
"Boss, take it!" Zhang Shuai felt bad seeing Tian Xin keep refusing. He had never given her anything before, and now his mother was giving it to her on his behalf, and he hoped she would accept it.
"Zhang Shuai, please tell Auntie..."
"Cough cough—cough—" Before Tian Xin could finish the second half of the sentence, Zhang Shuai suddenly fake coughed a few times tactically!
Everyone turned around, and Zhang Shuai's mother took the opportunity to stuff the red envelope into Tian Xin's hand.
this……
Tian Xin sighed, held the red envelope and walked over to put it on the cabinet.
"Don't you want to open it and take a look?" asked Zhang Shuai's mother.
Huh?? Open it again?
That's impolite!
She turned around and asked everyone for help. All the men had the same expression on their faces - calm and curious!
Zhang Shuai's mother looked at her expectantly. She glanced at Zhang Shuai, who also seemed to be expecting her to open it.
Forget it, just open it!
She sighed and gently tore open the red envelope.
"Look!" said Zhang Shuai's mother.
The red envelope was quite thick, so she reached in and took out a handful. But before anyone could see, her hand suddenly stopped. The next second, she hurriedly stuffed the money into the red envelope and put it behind her back. She felt completely uneasy, embarrassed and at a loss!
