Chapter 499 Jiang Duo’s Three Years
Mingzhu had a very rough dinner. She had just finished a few mouthfuls of porridge when the third aunt and Jiang Sui, who had just returned from work, came back with Deng Deng.
The two hugged Mingzhu and cried so sadly that they pushed Jiang Duo, who was feeding her, aside.
Jiang Duo was holding a bowl and was a little speechless.
Mingzhu also saw the second child Deng Deng standing aside with a frown in their arms.
The third aunt and Jiang Sui finally calmed down. Jiang Sui pulled Deng Deng to the bedside and said excitedly: "Deng Deng, hurry up, mom is awake, call for help."
Deng Deng raised his eyes and looked at Mingzhu. Unlike the way the eldest and third children looked at her just now, this little look was a bit like that of a little adult.
While he was examining her, Mingzhu smiled at him tenderly: "Hello, Wait, I'm your mother."
Wait looked at her mother who was alive and talking, blinked a few times uncomfortably, and then said: "Hello, Mom."
Mingzhu chuckled and thought of her second brother who was often called mature beyond his years by her parents.
Jiang Sui: ...
Is this the expression a three-year-old child should have when talking to his mother for the first time?
"Wait, don't act like an old man and act coquettishly to your mother."
Wait looked at his aunt like a fool and didn't respond.
The third aunt laughed and said, "See, you're being looked down upon, right? There's no way our son Deng Deng would do such a thing. This should be asked to Xiang Xiang and Pan Pan."
Jiang Sui didn't force it. He looked at Mingzhu and lowered his voice and said, "Your three sons are three extremes. One loves to laugh like a little angel, one is mature like an old man, and one cries like someone who was pulled out of the water. Anyway..."
Mingzhu laughed, "How great! Children are not products on an assembly line. We have to allow their diversity."
As she spoke, her eyes met with Deng Deng again. She felt that the child didn't reject her at all, because he had been scrutinizing her since the beginning, without any dislike on his face. Of course, it was not ruled out that the boy had facial paralysis.
It was so funny. Her husband didn't train her to be a domineering CEO, but she gave birth to a son who had the common problems of the domineering CEOs in the old days.
Thinking of this, she burst out laughing.
The family was confused, and then they saw Deng Deng frowning in confusion: "What are you laughing at?"
"Jiang Wanjing," Jiang Duo said in a serious tone: "Be polite when talking to your mother."
Mingzhu shook her head: "It's okay."
She looked at Deng Deng and smiled: "I suddenly found that there seemed to be a large Jiang Duo and a small Jiang Duo standing in front of me, and I laughed because I was happy."
Deng Deng glanced at Jiang Duo: "I don't look like my father."
Jiang Sui immediately retorted: "Who said I don't look like him? Although generally speaking, you look more like your mother, when you go out, others can tell at a glance that you are your father's son."
Deng Deng was silent this time.
Jiang Sui rubbed his head and smiled at Mingzhu: "My cousin was not as deep as this kid when he was young. Grandpa always said that this kid will be able to do great things in the future."
Mingzhu raised her eyebrows: "I think so too. My Mingzhu's son must be excellent." Deng
Deng is still a child after all. He is also happy to be praised like this. His eyebrows are obviously a little relaxed, and that is a happy look.
Jiang Duo touched the porridge that had warmed up in his hand, took a step forward, and sat back on the bed: "We have seen it, Sui Sui, you should accompany the third aunt and Deng Deng to eat. Zhuzhu is hungry and hasn't finished her meal yet."
Several people agreed and agreed to talk later.
Just after persuading people to leave, father-in-law Jiang Shouxin and third uncle Jiang Shounuo also came back one after another, and showed her concern.
As soon as the two left, Jiang Qi came again -
Jiang Duo heated up the bowl of porridge in his hand before returning to feed Mingzhu.
After Mingzhu finished her meal, Jiang Sui also finished her meal. She ran back to the room and said that she wanted to chat with Mingzhu and asked Jiang Duo to hurry up and eat.
Jiang Duo refused to leave Mingzhu at first and planned to stay in the room to eat.
But Mingzhu thought that her uncle's family was there, so he had to go out and accompany them. After repeatedly assuring her that she was really fine, Jiang Duo went out obediently. As soon as
he left, Jiang Sui sat on Mingzhu's bed and looked at Mingzhu with a smile: "Oh, after three years, I can finally sit on your bed. It's not easy."
Mingzhu didn't quite understand what Jiang Sui said.
Jiang Sui saw the confusion in Mingzhu's eyes and explained, "In the past three years, apart from your second aunt, only my mother and I can occasionally come into your room to help deliver meals. No one else is allowed to set foot there. Your food, clothing, housing and transportation are all taken care of by your cousin himself. He feeds you, wipes your body, and cleans up for you... hygiene."
Mingzhu naturally knew what the so-called hygiene meant. After all, people have three urgent needs, and vegetative people are also people.
Mingzhu thought about that scene and felt... sorry for Jiang Duo.
Jiang Sui patted Mingzhu's leg gently: "Also, many paralyzed patients will suffer from muscle atrophy after lying down for a long time, but your physical condition has always been maintained very well. Do you know why?"
"He has been massaging me."
Jiang Sui nodded. "Yes, sister-in-law, I really never knew that my cousin was such a meticulous man. Except for working hours, he spends almost all his time with you. He massages you for at least three hours every day, and has never stopped for three years.
When the weather is good, he will push you to the yard to bask in the sun. Because my aunt said that talking to you more may be good for you, a person who obviously doesn't talk much starts racking his brains to chat with you every day. Sometimes, he really doesn't know what to say, so he will read books for you." As
she spoke, she pointed to the bookshelf nailed to the wall above the desk.
Mingzhu turned her head and looked over there. There were books in the bookshelf, but only one row. Now, there are three rows of books.
"Those...are all the books he read to me?"
"Yes, sister-in-law, my cousin really loves you very much. Everyone said that you will never wake up again and asked him to give up on you. There were even people in the compound who pretended to be kind and asked him to divorce you and marry someone else. But every time, my cousin would lose his temper with people and ask them to get out as far as possible. So now many people say that my cousin is lonely, violent, and difficult to get along with."
As he said this, Jiang Sui's eyes became red: "He was immersed in great sorrow every day. When we looked at him, he was obviously awake, but his eyes were always empty. He looked pale and powerless, as if he had lost his soul... as if he would die at any time. Sister-in-law, it's been three years. I dare not even recall it now. My cousin is really pitiful."
Jiang Sui held Mingzhu's hand and sniffed: "If you don't wake up, I think my cousin... will not be able to live. Sister-in-law, it's great that you can wake up, it's really great."
Mingzhu thought that Jiang Duo might have a hard life, but she didn't expect... that he would torture himself like this. She was so heartbroken that tears welled up in her eyes.
After a long while, she patted Jiang Sui's hand and said, "It's okay. I'm back. I will use my full love to smooth out the hardships of the past three years. For the rest of my life, I will make him the happiest man in the world."
