Chapter 854 (Page 1/2)
Huo Junshan sat quietly beside the bed, chatting with Huo Qingci about some trivial matters. The ward was filled with a warm and peaceful atmosphere.
At this moment, the door was gently pushed open, and Lin Man walked in cautiously, carrying a thermos bucket in one hand and an enamel cup in the other.
After entering the room, Lin Man smiled and said to Huo Junshan, "Dad, I'll take care of Qingci tonight. You should go back and have a good rest."
As she spoke, she gently placed the thermos and enamel cup in her hands on the bedside table.
Seeing this, Huo Qingci quickly nodded in agreement: "Yes, Dad, you go back and have a good rest with Mom and have a good sleep. Manman will take care of me here."
Huo Junshan looked at his son's determined eyes and realized that he really didn't want him to stay, so he slowly stood up.
However, before leaving, he couldn't help but remind Lin Man, "Xiao Man, Qing Ci just drank a glass of honey water. I guess his stomach is full of water now..."
Before he could finish his words, Huo Qingci interrupted him with a smile: "Dad, look at you, you treat me like a child. I'm such a grown-up, how could I still wet the bed? Just go back to the dormitory without worry!"
Hearing his son's words, Huo Junshan couldn't help but laugh, but he was still a little worried.
He then instructed, "Okay, but you must cover yourself with blankets at night and don't catch a cold. Especially Qingci, you don't have to hang your legs at night, but you must not move your legs around, you must heal them well."
Huo Qingci shook his head helplessly: "I know, Dad, my leg has been fixed with plaster and will definitely not move. You can go back to the dormitory with peace of mind."
In the end, Huo Junshan left the ward with a hint of reluctance.
As the door closed, only Huo Qingci, Lin Man, and Zhao Hongchang were left in the room.
When Zhao Hongchang saw Huo Qingci's father was gone, he smiled and said to Huo Qingci, "Director Huo, you are so lucky. When you were in the hospital, your wife came to take care of you the first time, and now your parents are here too.
By the way, who was that little girl this afternoon? Is she your daughter? "
Huo Qingci looked at Zhao Hongchang a little embarrassedly, and explained a little awkwardly:
"Director Zhao, don't get me wrong. That little girl is actually my biological sister. It's quite surprising to hear that, but she was born when my mother was fifty years old."
Mrs. Zhao, who was sitting beside the bed, was shocked when she heard this. She couldn't help but blurt out, "Oh, so that little girl is your sister? I always thought she was the only daughter in your family."
Huo Qingci nodded slightly and continued, "Yes, Madam Zhao. My own daughter is older than my little sister.
I remember that after my mother gave birth to my older brother, she suffered physical damage and was unable to conceive again for a full ten years.
It was not until later, when I was thirteen and my brother was eleven, that my mother gave birth to another little brother.
However, since then, my mother has shown no signs of getting pregnant again.
Who would have thought that just when everyone thought there would be no more new life, my mother, at the age of 50, suddenly became pregnant again, and finally had me, her little sister.
After hearing Huo Qingci's detailed explanation, Zhao Hongchang couldn't help but burst out laughing and said jokingly, "Haha, so that's how it is! I have to say, your father is really amazing. Having a daughter in his old age is also a rare blessing."
Lin Man, who was standing aside, looked at Huo Qingci with a half-smile, as if silently expressing that she completely agreed with what Director Zhao had just said.
Lin Man believes that this is a reflection of the good relationship between her parents-in-law.
She thinks her father-in-law is amazing, and her mother-in-law is even more amazing. She was still able to get pregnant and give birth at the age of fifty, which shows that her ovaries are very well maintained and she can still menstruate and ovulate at the age of fifty.
She also wondered if she would still have her period at 50. Some women stopped having their periods at 30, and she knew they aged quickly.
When she thought of this, Lin Man thought of herself again. She was already over thirty years old and it was time for her to take good care of herself.
Today my parents-in-law came over and said she looked very haggard, but I don’t know if it’s true.
When Huo Qingci is discharged from the hospital, she will stew a few more bird's nests to nourish her body.
Lin Man took a small bowl from the bedside table, boiled it with water, and began to pour out a bowl of porridge from the thermos.
Holding the pig liver porridge, she slowly sat down on the bed, looked at Huo Qingci with a smile, and teased: "Do you want me to feed you?"
"My leg is injured, my hand is not seriously hurt. I can drink it myself!"
After saying that, he took the bowl from Lin Man's hand and ate together with the spoon.
After finishing the porridge, Huo Qingci said, "Manman, I feel like I'm almost well again. I should be able to eat solid food tomorrow."
Lin Man knew that after this period of careful treatment with spiritual medicine, Huo Qingci's body had fully recovered.
However, he is still unable to be discharged from the hospital because his leg fracture has not fully healed and he is still in a splint. It will take more time for him to recover.
And I haven't finished drinking the Bone Herb Soup yet, I need to drink it for at least a week.
"Qingci, you don't want to drink porridge anymore. What do you want to eat? I will cook for you myself tomorrow, but you must not touch spicy food recently." Lin Man asked gently.
Huo Qingci thought for a moment and replied, "Hmm... then let's eat fish and braised pork ribs!"
Lin Man smiled and nodded, agreeing, "Okay, no problem! Then I'll go to the market early tomorrow morning to buy fresh ingredients.

"Oh, are you still hungry? There's still some porridge in the thermos. How about I give you another bowl?"
Huo Qingci did not refuse and drank two bowls of hot and fragrant porridge in succession.
Less than ten minutes after he finished drinking the porridge, Lin Man considerately reminded him that it was time to drink the medicine soup made from Bone-Bucacuanha.
This soup is a good medicine that helps to heal bones. Although it tastes a bit bitter, in order to recover as soon as possible, Huo Qingci drank it all without hesitation.
After he finished drinking the medicine, Lin Man quickly cleaned the enamel cup, thermos bucket and used dishes.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Man rushed to the bathroom, fetched a basin of clean water of suitable temperature, and prepared to wash Huo Qingci.
Interestingly, due to his limited mobility, Huo Qingci could only sit on the hospital bed and brush his teeth and wash his face every morning and evening.
And every time this happened, Lin Man would considerately pick up a basin and place it steadily underneath to catch the mouthwash he spit out.
Such a warm and loving scene made Director Zhao, who was standing by, envious. He looked at his fat wife sleeping on the hospital bed beside him and sighed.
Even if he were twenty years younger and looked as handsome as Huo Qingci, he would not be as lucky as him.
The next morning, Lin Man got up and folded the quilt quickly, then went to the bathroom to get some water and wash up.
After washing up, she saw Huo Qingci was still sleeping. She did not disturb him to rest, but tiptoed out of the ward, went downstairs and out of the hospital to buy vegetables at the nearest vegetable market.
The market was packed with people, and the noise was resounding. It took her a lot of effort to finally squeeze into the crowd.
She first came to the meat stall, and after careful selection, she bought two pounds of bright red beef with distinct textures, two pounds of tender ribs, and a piece of fat and lean pork belly.
Then, she moved immediately to the seafood stall and picked out a lively yellow croaker and a whole pound of plump shrimp.
Just then, a peddler carrying a chicken cage not far away caught her attention, so she hurried forward and carefully selected a shiny-feathered chicken from the cage.
When she passed by a stall selling ginger, onions, garlic, celery and chili peppers, she thought about it and felt that these side dishes were also an indispensable part of cooking delicious meals, so she bought some of each.
In fact, her space fishing boat also stores a large amount of fresh seafood. If you just want fish and shrimp, you can catch them directly from the space fishing boat.
It’s a pity that there was someone in Huo Qingci’s dormitory at this moment, and it was really inconvenient for her to take things out of the space in front of others.
We have to wait until we get back to the villa. After all, there are many rooms there, and it will be more convenient and comfortable to do anything.
Lin Man carried a large bag of vegetables in each hand and walked towards the dormitory with a somewhat unsteady step.
When she walked to the door and was about to raise her hand to knock, she was surprised to find that her father-in-law had already opened the door.
Looking at Lin Man's petite figure, struggling to carry a large bag full of vegetables with both hands, Huo Junshan couldn't help but widen his eyes and said in surprise:
"Oh my! Xiao Man, why did you get up so early? You bought all the vegetables so quickly! I was just planning to go out to the vegetable market to buy some."
Hearing her father-in-law's words, Lin Man smiled slightly and responded softly: "Dad, don't worry, I have already bought all these vegetables." Before she finished speaking, she went into the house with the bag.
However, as soon as I entered the house, I saw my mother-in-law holding a wooden comb in her hand, slowly combing her short, slightly gray hair.
My sister-in-law was still curled up in the warm quilt, sleeping soundly, with even a sweet smile on her lips.
Lin Man gently placed the dishes in her hands and turned to look at her parents-in-law. "Dad, Mom, what would you like for breakfast? I'll go to the cafeteria and pack it for you and bring it back."
Huo Junshan suddenly said, "How about this, Xiao Man, I'll go to the cafeteria with you. You can get breakfast and eat with your mother. I'll take breakfast to the ward and eat with Qingci.
I'll take care of Qingci during the day, and you can stay home and have a good rest. I'll trouble you to come to the hospital to deliver lunch at noon."
Hearing her father-in-law's thoughtful and detailed plan, Lin Man felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She nodded obediently and said, "Okay, Dad, I'll follow your instructions." Then, the two of them went downstairs together and headed towards the cafeteria...
That afternoon, Huo Junshan went back to the dormitory to relieve himself. Director Zhao, who was in the bed next to him, also completed the discharge procedures with the company of his family. The whole room suddenly seemed a little empty, with only Huo Qingci lying quietly on the hospital bed.
After a while, there was a gentle knock on the door. It turned out to be Dr. Kuang, who was in charge of ward rounds, who walked in.
When Huo Qingci saw the doctor, he quickly sat up and asked expectantly, "Doctor Zhang, when do you think I can be discharged from the hospital? I feel like I'm almost well."
Doctor Zhang walked to the bedside with a smile, carefully checked the medical records and various examination reports, and then said to Huo Qingci gently:
"Director Huo, although the examination found that there is no blood stasis in your body, this car accident is indeed very serious, and the trauma you have suffered is not small.
So my suggestion is that you stay in the hospital for a few more days to take good care of your body.
It would be better to wait until your wounds are completely healed and your body is back to its best condition before you are discharged. And don't worry, the hospital will cover all your hospitalization expenses."
