Shen Yu and Meng Tao walked to the bedside, greeted the old man, handed the fruits and nutritional supplements to Dou Qianqian, and then sat down on the chairs.

Old Dou smiled with satisfaction and said, "Grandpa Dou is very happy that you two can come to see him. Why did you buy anything for him? It's too expensive. Don't do this in the future. It's too formal."

Shen Yu looked at Meng Tao, who said, "We don't know what kind of food Grandpa Dou can eat now. Does he need to avoid certain foods due to his injury? We don't dare to buy anything random, so we'll just bring some fruit as a token of our appreciation. I hope you get well soon."

Old Dou laughed, "Okay, okay! Grandpa Dou will accept your kindness, thank you! Grandpa Dou just has a common fracture, I don't have to avoid certain foods, I will eat whatever I can, even if the doctor tells me to avoid certain foods, I won't do it, I went through all kinds of situations when I was young, and I was still fine in the end, I don't believe that, hahahaha!"

After sitting and talking for more than ten minutes, Mr. Dou asked Shen Yu about his work. At this time, someone brought in a lunch box. It was time for Mr. Dou to have lunch, so Shen Yu and Meng Tao stood up and said goodbye.

Old Dou asked Dou Qianqian to see them off, and then said to Meng Tao, "Come to Grandpa Dou's house when you have time. Your grandmother Dou has gone to S Province to visit her grandson. She will probably be back in two days. She doesn't have any other cooking skills, but she can make some delicious dishes. Ask her to cook for you! My husband and I have been friends with your grandpa and grandma for life. I watched Shen Yu grow up. When Shen Yu is busy with work and has no time to accompany you, you have to be more considerate. You can ask Qianqian and Nannan to play with you. Although these two sisters are less experienced, they are still kind-hearted."

"Okay, thank you Grandpa Dou." Meng Tao agreed with a smile.

Just as the young couple left, the bathroom door opened and Dou Nannan came out. She walked to Dou Lao's bed and dived into the quilt.

Dou Lao sighed: "You, why don't you meet openly? Are you going to hide from me from now on?"

Dou Nannan didn't say anything and just continued to twist her hair.

Dou Qianqian came back from seeing off the guests and saw her sister like this. She couldn't help but laugh out loud: "It's hard for you. You've been in the toilet for so long. Are you feeling suffocated?"

Dou Nannan stood up and glared at her sister: "What do you care!"

"Is it really that serious? This is not like your style, Dou Nannan."

"Don't make fun of me. You're the same. You and Han Chaoyang broke up over that woman and cried like crazy. If I hadn't gone to great lengths to investigate, run back and forth between you, and mediate, would you two have gotten along?"

"I know, I know. Isn't it enough for me to thank you? But at least I was able to face it and didn't run into the toilet like a coward."

"Who is the coward? I just don't want to see him now. What's wrong with him? I don't want to see that ignorant woman, looking like a villain who has succeeded!"

Dou Qianqian: “…”

If she said something like "sour grapes", would she be beaten by her sister? Forget it, she should just shut up. It's better to let the injured person vent than to let him become twisted.

Grandpa Dou made a warning “hmm” sound. Dou Nannan pouted and stopped talking. She reached out to touch the red apple in the net pocket on the bedside table and said disdainfully, “Stingy man, instead of giving a ginseng and cordyceps, he just gave a few fruits and two cans of malted milk? As if he had never seen this before!”

Dou Qianqian: "This is imported malted milk, bought from the foreign exchange store."

"What are you talking about? This is a gift from Shen Yu and his wife. Can money measure it? Taotao also took my injury into consideration and was afraid that I would have to avoid eating complicated foods, so she didn't dare to buy it. If they really brought ginseng, would I be able to eat it now? What a good child, filial piety is the most important thing, don't you understand? Don't touch this fruit, leave it there and let me eat it slowly."

As Mr. Dou said this, he asked Dou Qianqian to peel an apple for him immediately. Dou Qianqian said, "It's time for lunch. Let's have some fruit after lunch."

Mr. Dou: "It's okay, I'll eat half of it to moisten my throat first."

Dou Qianqian: “…”

Just eat fruits, but you should drink water to moisten your throat.

Dou Nannan was scolded by her grandfather. She untied the net bag and took out an apple. She peeled it with a knife, cut a small half for her grandfather, and took a big bite of the rest - Shen Yu gave it to her, and she ate it even though she was not allowed to! But she couldn't stop eating after taking a bite: this apple was obviously specially selected to take care of the old man's teeth. It was fragrant, sweet, soft and chewy. The key point was that it was not only chewy, but also as juicy as a crisp apple. Taking a bite was really like drinking a mouthful of water. What's more rare is the unique fragrance of apples, which is particularly rich and charming.

Dou Nannan has eaten countless special fruits since she was a child. This was the first time she encountered apples with this flavor. They were indescribably sweet and refreshing. She was surprised and confused, taking one bite after another. But before she had tasted enough, her grandfather reached out and snatched them away.

Mr. Dou: "You don't like this kind of 'cheap' fruit, so go eat something else. Leave this one for me, Shen Yu. It tastes good to me and doesn't strain my teeth."

Dou Nannan: “…”

Could you please tell me the truth?

Mr. Dou didn't explain any more, but just asked Dou Qianqian to put the fruits and nutritional supplements sent by Shen Yu away separately for him and not to mix them up with those sent by others. The old man knew in his heart: these were not ordinary things, they were very good for his health, he had to eat them carefully and not waste them.

Dou Qianqian did as her grandfather instructed, muttering in her heart: It's a pity that Shen Yu and Nan Nan are not destined to be together. Grandpa really likes him. The gifts he gave her are no different from those given by others, but Grandpa treats them like treasures.

On Tuesday noon, Liu Yongsheng, Han Shufang and Xiao Mingming arrived in Beijing.

Shen Yu and Meng Tao went to meet them at the station, ate lunch outside, and then went directly to the hospital. Liu Yongsheng and his wife saw that Liu Jianli was in good condition, except that he couldn't move his neck, everything else was normal. They felt relieved. Liu Yongsheng began to lecture Liu Jianli with a stern face. Just as Liu Jianli had predicted before, it was endless, blaming them for not exercising hard in normal times, and they could only be beaten at the scene...

Meng Tao smiled secretly, pulled Xiao Mingming and Shen Yu out of the ward, and let Liu Jicheng face this matter alone. Forgive them for not accompanying him.

Liu Yongsheng and Han Shufang stayed in the hospital with their son for the whole afternoon. When Xu Yuting came back from school, they went back to Shen's house to cook and eat. The couple also brought some local offerings with them and planned to visit Xu's house in the evening. Shen Yu persuaded them not to do so, saying that they had been on the train for two days and had taken care of the child on the road, which made them very tired. They should have a good rest tonight to relieve their fatigue from the journey and then meet with relatives and friends at Xu's house tomorrow.

Liu Yongsheng thought it made sense, but since he was already in the capital, he should at least give Grandpa Xu a call to let him know. Grandpa Xu was very happy to receive the call and chatted with Liu Yongsheng for a long time. He also told them to rest up and get enough rest, and they could get together again tomorrow night.
