"Is everything almost packed up? What about Dad? If only we had a wheelchair."
Xu Weihua rolled her eyes and lowered her voice, "Heh, a wheelchair? Look at what era this is, where can you even buy one?"
Su Qingci gestured towards Su Changqing on the opposite bed with her lip, "What should we do? We can't even move our legs, and it's such a long way, and there are no taxis available!"
"Just help me hop back, there are crutches too, right? That's how everyone else gets back!"
After the mother and daughter finished the formalities, they helped Su Changqing downstairs, while Li Yueniang followed nervously behind, carrying a bucket.
"Be careful, the steps, the steps, don't touch that foot!"
As soon as Su Qingci walked down to the lobby, she saw Song Jingzhou arguing with a nurse from afar.
"Su Changqing? Which Su? Which Chang? Which Qing?"
Before Song Jingzhou could answer, the other person looked up and asked with a smile, "Comrade, which unit are you from?"
"My brother is also a soldier; he might even be your comrade-in-arms!"
Song Jingzhou's face clearly showed displeasure. "Can't you just do your job properly?"
The other person's face instantly turned aggrieved. "I'm checking for you, aren't I? You have to tell me about that Su, that Chang, that Qing, and me first before I can find out. And comrade, isn't your attitude towards female comrades a bit unfriendly?"
Su Qingci and Xu Weihua helped Su Changqing stand behind Song Jingzhou. Xu Weihua felt Su Qingci stop and quickly turned around, "Qingci, what's wrong?"
Song Jingzhou seemed to hear someone call out "Qingci" and quickly turned his head.
As soon as he turned around, he saw Su Qingci looking at him coldly and asking Xu Weihua, "Mom, what if a woman tries to steal your man?"
Xu Weihua didn't hesitate at all, "Give it to her, there are plenty of men on the street!"
Su Qingci nodded, "Yes, there are plenty of men, why would we fight over them?"
Before the surprise on Song Jingzhou's face had faded, his skin tightened. "Qingci, Qingci."
"Milk~"
"Hey, Xiao Song, what brings you here?"
"This must be Dad and Mom, right? Hello, hello~"
"I'm your son-in-law, my name is Song Jingzhou~"
Xu Weihua's mouth dropped open in disbelief, her eyes widened, and she turned to look at Su Qingci, "Son-in-law???"
Su Qingci pouted and gave him a sarcastic glance. "It's not certain yet!"
Song Jingzhou seemed not to hear what Su Qingci said. He grabbed Su Qingci, handed her the cane from Su Changqing's hand, and said, "I'll do it, you put it in the back and help Grandma carry things."
As he spoke, Song Jingzhou squatted down in front of Su Changqing and was about to carry Su Changqing on his back.
Li Yueniang quickly stopped her, "No, no, no! He has a broken rib, you can't put pressure on him!"
Song Jingzhou said "Oh," apologized to Su Changqing, and then picked him up in a princess carry.
After he finished, he didn't forget to turn around and glare at the colleague at the service desk, "You're passive and negligent, slacking off, and not doing your job properly. I'm going to complain about you!"
Before Su Changqing could react, he was picked up by a strange young man and quickly put his arms around the man's neck to look at Xu Weihua.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch~"
Li Yueniang quickly stepped forward, "Changqing, hold him tight. This is Xiao Song, Qingci's boyfriend. You probably haven't met him yet. Xiao Song is a very filial child and a good comrade."
As Li Yueniang spoke, she handed the things in her hand to Su Qingci and went ahead to lead the way, "Be careful of that foot, it's still in a splint. Come on, follow Grandma!"
Hearing Li Yueniang's affirmation, Song Jingzhou was overjoyed, and his voice rose two decibels, "Okay, Grandma."
Xu Weihua watched Song Jingzhou's retreating figure and nudged Su Qingci with her shoulder, "Hey hey hey hey~, what's going on?"
"The celebrities you used to idolize were all those cute, innocent-looking young men. What's with this change?"
Su Qingci glanced at Xu Weihua, "Didn't you used to like Yang Kun's type? You even said his chest hair was sexy? How come you've fallen for my dad's fair-skinned, gentle, and refined appearance now? Besides, Song Jingzhou's face used to be very fair, he's just tanned now. Most importantly, he's rich, has abs, and can lift things up high with one hand! Hehe~"
Xu Weihua felt a lump in her throat, "Your dad can cook!"
"Song Jingzhou can make it too, it's super delicious, especially your favorite stir-fried eggs with chili peppers, he makes it the best!"
"Your dad should listen to me!"
“I said the sun rises in the west, and Song Jingzhou agreed.”
"Your dad is highly educated!"
"Song Jingzhou is researching missile nuclear weapons for the country!"
"I can spend your dad's salary as I please!"
"Song Jingzhou has already handed over his salary; he's practically a ten-thousand-yuan household now!"
As she spoke, Su Qingci turned back and said sarcastically, "Him? He was afraid I'd be wronged, so he even agreed to come to my house, saying he couldn't bear to see me leave my family. Sigh, let alone now, even decades later, I don't know where you'll find a man like that!"
"Ms. Xu Jia, do you think I must have kowtowed to that mountain in my past life? Oh ho ho ho ho~"
Looking at Su Qingci's smug expression, Xu Weihua really wanted to hit her.
She said sourly, "It must be because I sponsored so many orphanages in my past life, did so many good deeds, and all the merit points went to you. You're lucky to have been my daughter for several lifetimes. You heartless wretch, if you're not filial, I'll beat you..." Never mind, she couldn't beat him.
The group returned to Liuhuai Lane, where the two brothers, Su Changqing and Su Changzhi, met and wept again.
Liao Fengmei was extremely busy, pouring tea and tidying up the room.
She had already heard that her brother-in-law was the head of surgery at XX Hospital, and her sister-in-law was even more remarkable, being a teacher at a prestigious school.
She subconsciously attributed all the expenses and supplies her family had incurred since returning home to her elder brother and sister-in-law. Coupled with the help her niece Qingci had given them, she became even more enthusiastic.
When Song Jingzhou first met his future in-laws, he was incredibly polite, his face practically contorted with a broad smile.
After chatting for a while, he went into the kitchen, declaring that he was going to show off his skills today.
There was something strange about the way Su Changqing was looking at him.
The question he just asked almost burned his brain dry.
Do you drink alcohol? Do you smoke?
Song Jingzhou hesitated, wondering if saying no would make the other person think he wasn't manly, and if saying yes would make the other person think he wasn't a good person. After a long pause, he replied, "Dad, Qingci won't allow it."
Surely this answer can't be wrong, right?
Unexpectedly, Su Changqing retorted, "You're too obedient. You do whatever my daughter tells you to do. A grown man with no opinions of his own, and then my daughter has to take care of you? You two aren't a good match..."
So much hostility!!!
Su Changqing watched Song Jingzhou turn and leave, growing increasingly displeased. "What kind of future does a man who only knows how to hide in the kitchen have?"
"How old are you? You look so old. Your face doesn't look good either, you look fierce. People say that your appearance reflects your heart."
"Qingci, your marriage is a life-long matter, and you must be extremely careful!"
