Chapter 184 Visiting Chairman Zhang
After getting a stroller, Mao Mao pedals it several times in the yard every day.
She opens it during breaks after class, during digestion time after meals, and when no one is playing with her, she opens it by herself.
Springtime is neither too hot nor too cold. It's currently the shortest spring season in Haicheng, so even if you play outside all day, you won't get cold or sunburned.
That day, before leaving the house, the first wife picked up her handbag and peeked into the courtyard.
She glanced around but didn't see Mao Mao.
But the little girl was very well-behaved. They told her not to take the stroller outside, so she just wandered around the courtyard every day. Fortunately, the courtyard of the Marshal's Mansion was very large, and it would take quite a while to walk around it.
The first wife called out, "Mao Mao?"
"Mao Mao, it's time to go out."
A soft, childlike voice called out from somewhere in the distance: "I'm here!"
Soon, Mao Mao arrived in her little car, clattering to the stage.
She wasn't playing alone; Grandma Lou's big white cat was also squeezed into the backrest seat.
This stroller was originally only meant for one child, but now it was packed full of a person and a cat, with no space between them. The big white cat's tail hung down from the side. When the stroller stopped in front of the lady of the house, the big white cat raised its head and meowed at her.
With the added weight of a cat, Mao Mao's two short little legs strained and kicked, leaving her drenched in sweat.
The first wife smiled and took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from Mao Mao's forehead: "Mao Mao, come back and play with Maomao some more. We should go out now."
"Um!"
"Go and park your car properly."
"Um!"
Mao Mao drove off in her little car with a whoosh.
Her car has a designated parking spot.
Right in a corner by the entrance, Lou Hongjian used paint to mark out a square parking space for her, and put up a small wooden sign, which became the exclusive parking space for Mao Mao's car.
Spring is rainy, and the big cars are exposed to the wind and rain outside. Mao Mao couldn't bear to see her precious children's car suffer as well, so her older brothers worked together to make a rain shelter for her car's parking space.
I parked the car under the awning, a little crooked, with the rear wheels sticking out of the paint lines, but it didn't matter. Mao Mao climbed out of the stroller, picked up a small rag hanging nearby, and, with her bottom sticking out, started wiping her car.
The big white cat was lying in the seat, and Mao Mao wiped the seat: "Cat, move aside."
The big white cat remained motionless: "Meow~"
Okay, then Mao Mao will have to go around it.
The stroller was small, but she wiped it back and forth, and soon the stroller, which had just been dusty, was polished to a shine.
"Maomao?"
The first wife called out again from the doorway.
Mao Mao dropped the small rag and ran over happily: "Coming!"
Today, the first wife is taking her out to visit Chairman Zhang at the hospital.
President Zhang collapsed at her birthday party, but thanks to Lou Heming's timely first aid, she was taken to the hospital by ambulance and quickly recovered from her critical condition. After lying in the hospital for many days, President Zhang's condition stabilized.
The guest collapsed in his own home, so it was only right and proper for the mistress to visit him. And since it was Mao Mao who saved him, the First Madam brought Mao Mao along as well.
When she was lifted into the car, Mao Mao blinked and said, "Mao Mao, drive."
The first wife chuckled: "Mao Mao, do you know the way?"
Maomao: "..."
So, on the way to the hospital, she pressed her face against the car window, watching the scenery rushing by outside with great concentration.
After the car turned a few corners, Mao Mao's gaze was drawn to a pancake shop on the roadside.
It was a small shop with a tiny storefront. The owner's workbench was set up at the entrance, where dough filled with fillings was transformed into a thin, large pancake in the owner's hands, sprinkled with sesame seeds, and then placed in the oven.
Before she could even see the hot, fragrant baked flatbread coming out of the oven, the car had already driven past the street.
Mao Mao turned her head and kept turning until she could see nothing anymore before leaning back in her seat.
The first wife asked with a smile, "Have you remembered the way?"
Maomao: "..."
Mao Mao tilted her little head up and looked at her with an adorable expression.
Huh?
What was Mao Mao doing just now?
The first wife smiled and patted her head.
The car stopped at the hospital entrance, and the first wife took her hand and led her towards Chairman Zhang's ward.
Just as they climbed up to that floor, before they even found Chairman Zhang's ward, they suddenly heard the sound of something being smashed coming from one of the wards. The loud noise startled Mao Mao, and she quickly hid behind the First Madam.
The first wife quickly turned around and covered her ears.
People in the hospital corridor curiously looked in the direction of the sound. Mao Mao also curiously peeked out from behind the first wife and looked at the ward.
After the items were smashed, several more young people were kicked out. The last one was hit on the back with a cup, and due to the inertia, he stumbled and almost fell.
"Get out! All of you, get out!"
A weak, angry shout came from that ward: "Don't come here and get in my way!"
Despite being hit, chased away, and verbally abused, the young men didn't dare to get angry. They turned around and said with fawning expressions, "Dad, please don't be angry...we'll come see you again next time."
"roll!"
The young men then quickly left.
Mao Mao stared wide-eyed as their figures disappeared at the other end of the corridor.
"Mao Mao?" The First Madam pulled her again, and she came to her senses, taking the First Madam's hand and following her.
After walking a few steps, we arrived at our destination.
It was the same ward where the noise had just occurred.
Zhang Weihai sat on the hospital bed, his obese body heaving violently as he gasped for breath.
Hearing footsteps, he was still annoyed. Without even looking up, he roared, "Didn't I tell you to get lost?"
Mao Mao blinked and obediently replied, "Uncle, you didn't say that."
Zhang Weihai was taken aback. He looked up at her and realized that it wasn't his unfilial children who had come.
"Mrs. Lou, Miss Lou. What brings you here?"
Zhang Weihai hurriedly threw off the covers and got out of bed to greet her, but was stopped by his first wife in time: "Chairman Zhang, you are still sick, so there's no need to be so polite."
The first wife put down the gifts she had brought for the visit and looked around. After the young masters and ladies of the Zhang family left, only Chairman Zhang remained in the ward.
She frowned slightly: "Don't you even have anyone to take care of you?"
"Yes, there is," Zhang Weihai said. "Jing Shu hired someone to take care of me, and she's gone to buy things for me right now."
