The next day, Xiang Zhilan set her alarm and woke up very early, as she wanted to go to the hospital early to accompany her mother for a check-up.
The hospital is crowded and noisy, so it's not a good place to take two children.
Xiang Zhilan then entrusted the two children to Luo Che and Uncle De, and went out.
She'll have to take her white car to the auto shop for maintenance another day; for now, she can only take taxis.
Xiang Zhilan arrived at the hospital and accompanied the two elderly people for their check-up.
Luo Che received a call from the airline around 10 o'clock, because the suitcase containing the documents had been found and he needed to come in person to claim it. Uncle De was left to take care of the child at home.
Both children are over two years old and are relatively easy to take care of. They can express their thoughts in complete sentences.
Sitting on the carpet, they can have a lot of fun with role-playing toys.
When Uncle De saw that it was almost time, he started cooking. To prevent the children from being choked by the fumes, he closed the frosted glass door to the kitchen.
Hengheng played with his toys for a while and then got bored. Seeing Uncle De cooking, he said to his sister, "I want to go outside to play. Do you want to come?"
It snowed heavily early this morning, and they all saw it through the window.
"Mommy said she'll take us out to play when she comes back," Xiao Kui replied obediently.
Hengheng was much more mischievous than Xiaokui, and also more active. The snow scene outside was something he had never seen before in New Zealand, so he couldn't hold back any longer and pouted, "Then I'll go by myself."
Xiao Kui watched him get up, push the cloth stool to the door, climb up, and turn the doorknob. She couldn't help but stand up as well.
Hengheng turned around and saw his younger sister coming over. He smiled smugly, knowing she would be unable to resist wanting to play together.
After opening the door, he got off the small stool, pushed it back into place, and went to take Xiao Kui's hand.
Xiao Kui awkwardly put on her coat. She remembered that it was very cold when her mother took her out yesterday. After she finished putting on her coat, she asked her brother to put it on too.
Hengheng didn't have the patience. He couldn't wait to get out, so he grabbed Xiaokui and pulled her outside. The door closed automatically with a gentle touch.
As soon as he stepped out of the room, Hengheng sneezed. Although he felt cold, he stubbornly refused to show weakness in front of his younger sister.
Then he discovered that this place was different from their home in New Zealand. Instead of simply leaving the house, he had to ride this big metal box-like thing to get outside.
Unfortunately, he couldn't reach it, and just as he was feeling frustrated, the elevator doors opened.
Shen Muzhi had just returned from outside, carrying toys in his hand, when he saw the two little radish heads.
When Xiao Kui saw Shen Muzhi, she instinctively hid behind Hengheng and whispered to Hengheng, "He's a weird uncle."
Hengheng, looking like a little man, stood protectively in front of Xiaokui, looking up at Shen Muzhi.
When Shen Muzhi saw the boy's face, his eyes reddened. This was his son, and he looked just like him when he was a child.
"Where are you going? Where is your mother?" Shen Muzhi put down the toys, squatted down to be at eye level with the two children, and spoke in an unbelievably gentle voice that was usually so cold.
"Mom went to the hospital, we're going out to play." Hengheng, who was usually mischievous and clever, felt a strange sense of familiarity with Shen Muzhi and answered without hesitation.
"Mommy said I can't talk to strangers." Xiao Kui tugged at her brother's hand.
“He’s not a stranger,” Hengheng retorted to Xiaokui, her eyes lighting up as she saw the toys at Shen Muzhi’s feet.
Upon hearing Hengheng's words, Shen Muzhi was overwhelmed with emotions and couldn't help but embrace both of them.
