He Jiale could have gone back to rest, but Yao Tongxu needed to be hospitalized and couldn't move, so he simply refused to go back, claiming he would help take care of Yao Tongxu.
Yao Tongxu is here, and the person taking care of him is definitely here too. If he goes back, he'll probably just get three meals a day, but no one will keep him company.
He Jiale is actually a person who is very afraid of loneliness, otherwise he wouldn't have taken Xiao Gengwu and Yao Tongxu back to live with him as soon as he saw them at the school gate.
The two of them stayed in the hospital together for four days. When Yao Tongxu's head was not so dizzy, he was discharged and returned to the military region. Yao Tongjia took care of him in the hospital for the past few days.
Yao Yanxin prepared the meal at home and had it delivered to the hospital accompanied by a guard. Ruan Shengpeng had been busy these past few days, and Xiao Gengwu figured that his two brothers wouldn't be discussing things with him anytime soon.
He is a person who is very punctual. Seeing that Yao Tongjia was able to manage, he took the materials that He Jiayin had sent over and began to study them by himself.
Because some materials require combustion, and he was unsure whether the combustion would be harmful to his health, he applied for a place to conduct research outside.
When Yao Tongxu returned home, he still needed to rest in bed. He Jiale, despite having fractures in his right hand and left leg, was still able to jump around in front of Yao Tongxu, saying, "Ah Xu, you can't do it! Look at me, I can walk freely, can you?"
Yao Tongxu ignored him completely, but the more he paid attention, the more excited the guy became. He could only rest now and couldn't move around too much, not even his head.
Fortunately, I can lie on my back, which puts my whole body in a relaxed state and prevents nerve compression. However, I can't do anything while remaining completely still.
It's also a kind of torture. Actually, it's good to have someone chattering around you.
Perhaps because He Jiale had been with Yao Tongxu for a long time, the two had developed some tacit understanding. He didn't act up and picked up the newspaper: "How about I read the newspaper to you?"
To see Yao Tongxu's intentions clearly, He Jiale even aimed directly at Yao Tongxu's eyes. When Yao Tongxu blinked, he knew that Yao Tongxu wanted to hear it.
He Jiale is just not very sharp-tongued, but he is actually a warm-hearted man. He is always very open and honest with those he trusts.
He sat down next to Yao Tongxu and slowly began to read the newspaper to him. Ruan Shengpeng had returned a little early, a rare occurrence, carrying a large pile of things, his hands overflowing.
Seeing that the two children were getting along very well, he didn't go in to disturb them. He took the gifts into the kitchen, and the busy Yao Yanxin looked at the gifts with some surprise: "Did you go shopping?"
Ruan Shengpeng shook his head: "My brothers brought it over. I don't know who told them that A-Xu was injured. They thought A-Xu was recuperating in the military region, so they came here and knocked on the door."
"Later, when no one answered the door, they came to my office to look for me!"
Yao Yanxin asked curiously, "What did they take?"
"It's several bottles of malted milk powder and several bags of milk powder, as well as two hens and more than ten kilograms of pork ribs, which are said to be for Ah Xu to improve his health." Ruan Shengpeng laid out the items one by one.
Yao Yanxin helped tidy up, then hesitated, "The old man won't know, will he?"
Ruan Shengpeng shook his head: "I specifically told my brother and the others not to tell the old man that he's been a bit listless since the old lady passed away!"
Yao Yanxin hesitated for a moment: "Why don't we take advantage of the children being here and bring the old man over to liven things up? The more lonely the old man is, the more he thinks about the past."
Although the old man and the old woman were divorced, the old man was a very sentimental person. He actually hoped that the old woman could change, but instead, she ruined her own life.
He must be feeling very sad. He had a grudge against me when I asked him to come and stay before, feeling that he hadn't protected Yao Yanxin and her two children back then, so how could he have the face to come and stay here now?
Previously, Yao Yanxin was the only one at home, and Ruan Shengpeng would often stay out all night, so he was even more embarrassed to come over. Now that there are three or four children here, he would definitely be willing to come over.
Ruan Shengpeng secretly hoped that his elderly father could live a more comfortable life, but he was more concerned about Yao Yanxin: "Are you really not bothered?"
"Let bygones be bygones. We're all doing well now, so there's no need to dwell on past problems!"
At that moment, Ruan Shengpeng was deeply moved. He hugged Yao Yanxin from behind and said, "Thank you, Yanyan. Marrying you is the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me!"
Actually, if he hadn't taken advantage of her situation, Yao Yanxin might not have married him. He thought of his comrade-in-arms: "Hasn't your uncle contacted you?"
Yao Yanxin felt a bit conflicted when she heard this: "He contacted me secretly later. His wife didn't want him to contact me, afraid that I would try to take advantage of her, so she hid all the letters I sent."
At that time, the situation was so urgent, but his wife didn't seem to see it at all and simply hid the letter, which was tantamount to the two families severing ties.
“I didn’t want to make things difficult for him, so I stopped writing to him. From now on, we can each go our own way and there’s no need to cause him any trouble!” This was Yao Yanxin’s truest thought.
Ruan Shengpeng sighed: "Your uncle was spoiled by his family growing up and doesn't have much of his own opinion. If he marries a strong-willed wife, it's not good to contact him anymore."
Contacting each other will only make each other feel bad, so it's better to just cut ties!
Ruan Shengpeng joked, "Your aunt is a bit of a snob. If she finds out about our current situation, she'll definitely come over."
Yao Yanxin sneered: "We've lost contact for so many years, what's the point of keeping in touch? So what if I don't know them? We're not related by blood anyway."
At this point, Yao Yanxin felt very bad. Her parents loved her so much, so why couldn't they be her biological parents?
Ruan Shengpeng comforted him, saying, "People who are destined to be together will become family. People who are not destined to be together, even if they are blood relatives, so what?"
"You're like this, and so am I. There's no need for us to dwell on this..."
Before Ruan Shengpeng could finish speaking, a dark-haired man appeared at the kitchen doorway. He walked over with a smile and asked, "Are you hungry?"
"I was hungry, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered you. Can't you chat when you get back to your room tonight? You're being all lovey-dovey in the kitchen, when are we going to eat?"
Hearing her daughter's blunt words, Yao Yanxin blushed and glared at her: "Go away, I speak with my mouth, but don't I move my hands too?"
“If it were just talking, there would be no problem, but you two are already hugging, how are you going to cook?” Yao Tongjia pointed out without any mercy.
Ruan Shengpeng's ears were burning too, but luckily the lighting was dim so it wasn't noticeable. He glared at his daughter and said, "You talk too much. Your brother Xiao is back too?"
