Chapter 203 Old Grudges

Seeing that Yan Xin was angry with her, Lin Shu stopped while she was ahead and did not press the issue.

After all, she was a guest.

Lu Shaotang drove his own car, Lin Shu sat as the co-pilot, and Uncle Lu and Yan Ping sat in the back with their grandson.

Yan Xin and her brother took the little girl in another car.

Yan Bin glanced at the driver and whispered to Yan Xin, "Sister, I didn't expect my sister-in-law to be so pretty."

Yan Xin sneered, "Don't comment on others."

She pinched her brother secretly, warning him to be honest and not to forget his punishment again.

In the car ahead, Uncle Lu didn't look tired at all, but rather very excited. He kept asking about Lu Shaotang and Lin Shu's families, and how Old Man Lu and the elderly people in the village were doing.

People always miss their childhood and youth the most. They miss the poverty, suffering, relatives, and friends at that time, the first bite of food they ate when they were extremely hungry, all the struggles they made to fill their stomachs, and the pure, simple time that never made them feel tired.

No matter if they became rich, successful, or wealthy later, they would think of all kinds of hard work and military hustle and bustle. The memories are just as deep, but they are not so willing to miss them.

Lu Shaotang didn't talk much. He answered a few words to Uncle Lu's questions, and most of the responses were from Lin Shu.

Uncle Lu liked Lin Shu very much and thought she was a great chat partner. She could answer whatever he asked, and even if she didn't understand something, she would bring up the topic appropriately to guide him to talk more, so he became more and more excited and talked all the way.

Yan Ping interrupted him several times, "Old Lu, talk less, your voice will be hoarse in a while."

When they arrived at the military guesthouse, Lu Shaotang went to help get a room. He first asked Uncle Lu and Yan Ping whether they wanted a suite and a standard room.

Uncle Lu and his wife could stay in the suite with Yan Xin and the children, and let Yan Bin stay in the standard room by himself.

Yan Ping was very satisfied, but Uncle Lu refused. He said, "If we have one, we can just take a suite. If not, we can take two standard rooms. We are a family, so we are not so strange. In the past, we didn't care whether it was a field or a grass nest. We just spent the night there."

Yan Ping: "Old Lu, you are talking about the past. Can it be the same now? If we have to keep the same conditions as in the past, what did our ancestors shed blood and sacrifice for? Wasn't it just for the children to live more comfortably?"

Uncle Lu smiled and said, "Okay, you have the final say on our family's living matters."

Lu Shaotang helped them book a room.

Originally, there was no leader suite, and someone else had checked in first, but Lu Shaotang communicated with the leader of the guesthouse and took out a reserved suite for Uncle Lu to live in.

Lin Shu helped to carry the luggage in and took a look. The suite where the leader lived was really different from the standard room she had stayed in before.

Here was an independent bathroom with a shower head, a white porcelain sink, and a tiled floor. The standard room had a cement floor and a public toilet.

It seems that no matter when, the treatment of leaders and ordinary people is always very different.

Now only leaders of units can buy berths when taking the train, especially soft berths. Ordinary people can only take hard seats or even no tickets.

Uncle Lu and his friends slept in berths this time.

Lin Shu was just sighing that there were still modern guesthouse rooms in this era when she heard Yan Ping say, "Lin Shu, come here, help me clean the room."

Lin Shu: "???"

Staying in such an expensive guesthouse, and you still want me to clean the room?

Did I hear correctly?

The orderly at the military district guesthouse doesn't clean it better than I do?

I'm really too particular, right?

Yan Ping had already taken two towels out of the toilet, and threw one to Lin Shu, while taking one for herself. She wanted to wipe the bed, tables and chairs, etc. She also asked Lin Shu to help shake and make the bed again, and then took out her own sheets and quilt covers to change them.

Lin Shu: "..."

It should be said that this is what Lin Shu did when she stayed in a hotel in her previous life.

I didn't expect that my step-aunt was so particular in her time.

The key is that she has the conditions to be particular and can afford to be particular.

Ordinary people have to go bald to collect cloth coupons to make a new set of clothes in a year, so where would they get so many extra sheets and quilt covers to bring out?

Of course, ordinary people don't have much chance to stay in a guesthouse. Ordinary guesthouses cost one dollar a night, and this kind of suite costs ten dollars a day!

If she hadn't traveled through time and could see the whole situation, and comforted herself that the money was spent by the bastard and we can earn it again, she wouldn't even let us stay in this suite. It

's too extravagant!

Will Uncle Lu pay for it?

Does Lu Shaotang have to pay for all the expenses?

If Lu Shaotang didn't have a high salary, she would have saved money and earned it in other ways. She would have been in debt after entertaining Uncle's family once.

Seeing Yan Xin looking at her with a perverted look, Lin Shu stuffed a handkerchief into her hand and said to Yan Ping, "Auntie, I'll go and ask for two pots of boiled water. Do I need two more?"

Yan Ping: "Yes, two more. I use a lot of water!"

Yan Xin held the handkerchief and whispered to Yan Ping, "Aunt, Lin Shu is so cunning. She doesn't look very diligent. Doesn't she do any housework at home?"

Yan Ping: "Yeah. Lu Shaotang has a high salary and can support her. Her parents-in-law are generous, so it's natural for her to be a daughter-in-law."

Yan Xin pouted, feeling more and more uncomfortable. It was as if there was a bug gnawing at her chest, making her feel uneasy.

Even though she and Lu Shaotang had never officially started a relationship, everyone was optimistic about them at first, and her aunt also supported them. She also believed that the two were a good match. Later, when they got married, she always felt superior and thought that she was better than Lu Shaotang's country wife.

Now when they met, Lin Shu was not inferior to her. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also not as uneasy, timid and petty as other rural women. She was generous and talked and laughed with Uncle Lu.

Doesn't this country woman know what shyness is, what is awkward?

She doesn't want to be compared, but she feels that she is compared everywhere.

In order to welcome Uncle Lu and others, Lu Shaotang booked a table at the military hotel.

He treated Uncle Lu completely as a leader and was not casual at all. When receiving important guests, the first meal would definitely be very formal, and after that they could eat in the cafeteria or whatever.

When Uncle Lu heard Lu Shaotang said he was ordering food at the hotel, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Shaotang, you must maintain a simple and frugal style. You must not be extravagant. Why should a family like us go to a hotel? The military canteen is very good. There are also meat and vegetables in the canteen, which are quite good."

Yan Ping said, "Old Lu, this is a filial piety of the child. You haven't been to Qizhou Military District for many years, you have to show your appreciation."

Lu Shaotang: "That's right. Several old friends heard that uncle was coming home, so they came to say hello."

Yan Ping glanced at Lu Shaotang and thought that this kid seemed cold and indifferent on the surface, and looked honest and didn't like to talk, but in fact he was full of tricks. So he took advantage of his uncle's return home and quickly used his uncle's name to contact people and pave the way for himself.

In her eyes, any achievements and promotions made by Lu Shaotang were all the credit of her old man. In her eyes, Lu Shaotang's struggle and efforts could be ignored.

After all, she felt that if it weren't for her old man, no matter how outstanding Lu Shaotang was, he would not have been able to stand out, let alone become a director at such a young age. That day, she heard her old man muttering that Lu Shaotang's authority was already equivalent to that of a divisional staff officer, and that his special position allowed him to cross agencies and military units.

Thinking of her eldest son, who was the same age as Lu Shaotang and also developed in the military, but only became a company commander before retiring.

The younger son just joined the army last year and joined the communications company this year. Although he has made good progress, the old man is often dissatisfied and says that he is far inferior to Lu Shaotang.

To be honest, Yan Ping is not convinced and unhappy.

How could Lu Shaotang make it without his uncle?

All those military merits must have been contributed by the old man, but her son has been in the army for two years, and the old man has not given his son any military merit, even if it is a third-class merit. He

has not won even one, who would not be angry?

Of course, she did not say these things clearly. After all, even if she wanted to get military merits, she would have to do it in private and could not bring it to the public.

Wouldn't that be asking for trouble? She is not stupid.

Yan Ping thought that Lu Shaotang was using Uncle Lu to build connections, but Lu Shaotang was considering Uncle Lu and invited retired senior officials of the same age as Uncle Lu, the youngest of whom was 60 years old.

This was a dinner party of old revolutionaries and nostalgia, and the guests enjoyed it very much.

Lin Shu sat next to Lu Shaotang and didn't talk much, but when she needed to answer the call or help with gluing, she would immediately fill in the gap without leaving any trace, so as not to make the dinner party boring.

It's not that she is good at this, but as a time traveler, she has no burden, no desires, no interests, and simply appreciates and admires these names that originally only existed in history books and were engraved on tombstones.

She respects everyone who deserves her respect equally, so she speaks and acts naturally and intimately, without any deliberateness or flattery.

This made Yan Ping look at her with a new eye, and Yan Xin became even more jealous.

All those present were former leaders, and it would be beneficial for anyone to win their favor.

For example, there was an old leader who was already in his twilight years, and he often went in and out of the Qizhou PLA General Hospital. As long as he said a word, Gao Tingting's job would be easy to get promoted or transferred.

But for some reason, she didn't get the point across, and instead, she made the conversation awkward as soon as she spoke, which interrupted everyone in the audience for a moment, and then they all looked at her, which made her heart beat faster, her back sweating, and she hesitated and dared not speak.

Why didn't Lin Shu be like this when she spoke?

Every time Lin Shu spoke, not only the old leader beside her would stop to look at her, but even the ones opposite and slightly further away would look at her with a smile, and some would applaud her and say she spoke well, asking her where the young comrade studied and where he worked.

They were quite sorry to hear that Lin Shu had no education and no job, and they all criticized Lu Shaotang for not arranging a job for his wife.

At this time, several of the old guys were already a little drunk, talking about how they chased the enemy with empty stomachs and naked bottoms, and had to steal the enemy's clothes to wear, because their clothes were all rotten when they crossed the grass.

Yan Xin looked at Lin Shu, not knowing what she said that touched the old leader's tear glands and made him cry.

Finally, several people rushed to ask her to write their memoirs, to record their experiences in their lifetime, maybe it can become a witness to history?

"Everything must be written truthfully, no covering up, no lying, and no embellishing yourself, that would be meaningless." Uncle Lu laughed.

"Yes, at our age, it's meaningless to fool others, and you can't fool yourself."

So during a meal, Lin Shu received the task of writing memoirs for six old leaders.

Lin Shu: "..."

I really didn't mean it, I just... didn't want you to pinch my husband.

The dinner ended with several drunken old leaders pushing and shoving to see whose scar was bigger, whose scar was deeper, and whose shrapnel had not been removed.

They put on their clothes, hugged each other and said goodbye, "Cherish it, you old guys, you see each other less and less."

Lin Shu said silently: Young people also see each other less and less, it is impossible to see each other more and more.

At night, Lin Shu and Lu Shaotang did not go home, but stayed directly in the military district guesthouse.

Lu Shaotang seemed to know what his wife was concerned about, and quietly told her that Uncle Lu lived in the guesthouse for free, and another old leader paid for dinner in the evening.

When she heard that she didn't have to pay for it, even the rich lady Lin Shu's eyes lit up, rolled on the bed, and said with a smile: "You earned a few dozen dollars in an instant?"

After drinking, her cheeks were rosy like peaches and plums, her lips were red, her teeth were white, and her eyebrows were like paintings, which made his heart beat.

He leaned over and kissed her, and said in a low voice: "In the future, less..."

Lin Shu was dizzy from his kiss, "Less what?"

Lu Shaotang didn't say anything, and concentrated on kissing her.

What did he say? Let her attend fewer banquets? Let her drink less with outsiders? Let her release her infinite charm less in front of outsiders?

He knew that she didn't mean to do that, but she was too outstanding and too beautiful. In such occasions, she would become the focus and attract attention.

She is so good, she deserves to shine, and he naturally can't restrain her.

After a while, Lin Shu grabbed Lu Shaotang's ear and asked him to move away from her, and asked him, "You and that Yan Xin are okay, right?"

Lu Shaotang: "Is there anything between me and her?"

He didn't remember anything?

Lin Shu snorted, "Ever since she saw you at the station, her eyes have been glued to you. It's hard not to suspect that she has designs on you."

Lu Shaotang: "I am yours. She has designs on me because she covets you. You have to stop her. Think about it, if there is a thief who covets your money, and your money is not going to run away by itself, you have to find a way to deal with the thief, right?"

Lu Shaotang didn't take it seriously at all. In his opinion, a woman coveting a man is not the same as a man coveting a woman.

As long as the man is not interested and does not take the initiative, a woman's coveting is just a thought, and there will be no actual action to a large extent. Whenever

a man says that a woman seduced him and caused him to lose his virginity, it is the man's own will.

At least no other woman can take advantage of him.

But it's different when a man covets a woman. Women are weak, and it is easy for a man to hurt a woman if he sees an opportunity to use force.

He wanted to throw Yan Bin out countless times tonight. The guy kept staring at his wife with lustful eyes.

On the second day, Yan Ping originally wanted to accompany Uncle Lu to walk around Qizhou, climb mountains, and visit some scenic spots. As a result, it rained in the morning, so they walked around the military area, had lunch, and waited for the rain to stop before going out.

Lu Shaotang arranged for lunch in the military area cafeteria.

Although it was a cafeteria meal, they could also enter the private room and open a single table. The cafeteria chef stewed braised pork, braised fish, seasonal stir-fries, etc., which was very rich.

Hu Xiaole was not only naughty but also arrogant. He was picky about eating. He liked braised pork and didn't like vegetables.

He didn't eat a single bite of vegetables and ate a bowl of braised pork by himself!

Uncle Lu didn't care what the child ate or didn't eat. He thought it was okay to eat anything as long as he could grow up.

As for Hu Xiaole, he loves to eat and will eat a lot regardless of the occasion. He also thinks that it is the nature of boys to be naughty and domineering, and it is nothing big as long as it does not hurt others or break the law.

He is strict with his son and nephew, but quite tolerant with children of the next generation.

Although Hu Xiaole looks quite arrogant, he is not always making trouble, but is very good at observing the expressions and manipulating adults.

For example, he felt Uncle Lu's tolerance, so after eating braised pork, he wanted ice cream and soda.

Uncle Lu naturally agreed, and even let Yan Xin's daughter Pan Lili have a portion.

Hu Xiaole would not ask Uncle Lu and Yan Ping for more after eating at Uncle Lu's place, but he still wanted to eat, so he chased Lin Shu when she was out.

"I want to eat ice cream and drink soda!"

Lin Shu looked back at him, "You've eaten so much braised pork, and if you eat too much cold food, you'll have diarrhea. One ice cream is enough."

In her previous life, Lin Shu liked Yun Yangwa, but she was just a bit too picky, only liking cute and well-behaved kids. After traveling through time, Panpan and Tiantian were cute, pretty and well-behaved, so she felt that God was really good to her.

If they were two naughty, ugly and stupid children, she would have been so scared that she would rather die.

Lin Shu kept her distance from naughty children like Chang Xiaogang, Tong Xiaojun and Guan Ze, and this Hu Xiaole was a disaster to her, which made her hate him.

Reason told her that the child was still young and ignorant, and she shouldn't hate him, but her emotions were out of her control.

Hu Xiaole chased after her, muttering like Tang Seng chanting a spell: "I want to eat ice cream, I want to drink soda, why are you so stingy and don't buy it for me?"

If it were someone else, they would definitely feel embarrassed to refuse him. After all, it's just a few cents, and there's no way they would let the customer's child cry for this.

Lin Shu really wanted him to shut up.

This kid is so good at controlling people at such a young age. He is really not stupid at all, but quite smart, but he doesn't use it in serious places.

He is still a little polite in front of Uncle Lu, but he is very arrogant behind Uncle Lu's back, and he deserves a beating.

Although Lin Shu hated him, she was not angry and was still smiling, "You said I was a scoundrel, I treated you to braised pork and you still wanted an ice cream? I did it for your own good, don't be so ungrateful, you should thank me for not having diarrhea."

Hu Xiaole argued with her.

Yan Xin had been paying attention to Lin Shu, and she followed her slowly after Lin Shu came out. When she heard Hu Xiaole chasing Lin Shu for ice cream but Lin Shu refused to buy it for him, Yan Xin quickly stepped forward to coax Hu Xiaole.

She glanced at Lin Shu, and she didn't hide her sarcastic expression when there were no outsiders around. She led Hu Xiaole and said, "Come on, I'll buy it for you."

Lin Shu kindly reminded her, "He ate such greasy braised pork, and he had an ice cream and a bottle of soda before. He will definitely have diarrhea if he eats it again."

Yan Xin: "Are you a doctor?"

I'm a serious nurse, am I not as good as you?

Lin Shu didn't care, she must be closer to him than herself. Yan Xin

bought ice cream and soda for Hu Xiaole but didn't buy it for her daughter. Seeing her daughter looking at Hu Xiaole with greedy eyes, she slapped her and told her not to embarrass herself.

When Yan Ping went to the bathroom, Yan Xin followed her to take credit and complained about Lin Shu, "Aunt, why is Lin Shu so tactless? She doesn't know how to coax a child. Xiaole wanted to eat ice cream, and she chased her for a long time and was about to cry. She looked so pitiful, but Lin Shu was reluctant to buy it for her. She is really a thief!"

Yan Ping frowned, but didn't say anything.

From the perspective of an elder, she was dissatisfied with Lin Shu. The young wife was so coquettish that she would act coquettishly with Lu Shaotang and flirt with him in front of so many people.

At the dinner table, I just reminded her lightly to learn how to socialize as a wife so that she could help Lu Shaotang's career, but she immediately flirted with Lu Shaotang with her eyes. Although she didn't show any dissatisfaction on her face, that little action said it all.

Yan Ping didn't like it.

When they finished their meal and were about to leave, Yan Ping found that Hu Xiaole was eating ice cream again. She frowned slightly. Did this child eat too much?

She turned her head and saw Lin Shu staring at Hu Xiaole with a half-smile. She subconsciously thought that Lin Shu was afraid that she would say she was a swindler, so she bought it for the child to please her.

The rain stopped outside, and Uncle Lu wanted to walk around the military area to see how the development here was different from that in the capital.

Lu Shaotang walked in front with Uncle Lu.

Hu Xiaole came out with joy when he heard it. He was a naughty boy who couldn't stay in the house and had to go out to run and jump to feel comfortable.

As a result, after running a few steps, he suddenly felt a cramp in his stomach and felt uncomfortable. He immediately cried out and held his stomach and vomited violently.

He was anxious to eat, so he always wolfed down his food, and the braised pork he vomited out was still in pieces.

Seeing her grandson vomit, Yan Ping rushed forward and hugged the child. She angrily said to Lin Shu, "Why are you still standing there? Go and get some water. You are such a fool. You didn't give him food before, but now you give it again? Don't think that giving food to children is generous. Sometimes it hurts them."

Lin Shu turned and called a waiter, asking her to bring a cup of water.

Soon, a waiter came to show concern, bringing water and cleaning.

Yan Ping was still complaining.

Lin Shu: "Aunt, I didn't buy it for him. I told him that meat is too greasy and he shouldn't eat cold food."

Yan Ping was stunned for a moment, "The child has vomited, is this the time to argue about this?"

Just as she was talking, Hu Xiaole vomited again, holding his stomach and jumping, "It hurts so much, it hurts so much!"

His stomach was aching and he was going to have diarrhea.

Yan Ping was still feeding him water, feeling sorry for him vomiting, complaining that the water was too hot and the teacup was not clean, and she didn't notice that Hu Xiaole was in a severe stomachache.

Lin Shu reminded her, "He has a stomachache and is about to have diarrhea. Take him to the toilet quickly."

Yan Xin pushed Lin Shu away, "He just stands there and says sweet things." She went over to help hold Hu Xiaole and said softly, "Xiaole, be good. Auntie will hold you. Let's go back and have some sweet water."

Hu Xiaole struggled desperately.

Yan Xin coaxed and forced him to pick him up, complaining, "Where is Lu Shaotang? He is not there when you need a man..."

Before she finished speaking, with a "puff", Hu Xiaole could no longer hold it in and directly peed in his pants.

In summer, he only wore a pair of knee-length shorts. If he couldn't stop the diarrhea, he would just... poop all over Yan Xin.

Yan Xin froze and became petrified. Yan Ping beside him was also stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously took a step back.

Yan Xin couldn't help but scream, her expression was uglier than crying. She froze there holding Hu Xiaole, not knowing what to do.

Yan Ping also rubbed her hands, not knowing whether to pick up the child or help the child take off his pants. The sour smell made her face wrinkled.

She turned her head to find Lin Shu, "What are you doing standing there? Bring me a towel and some hot water!"

Where is Lin Shu?

When Lin Shu realized that Hu Xiaole was about to have diarrhea, she reminded Yan Ping. She didn't care, but Yan Xin insisted on holding him. Lin Shu's first reaction was to run away.

Nonsense, Yan Ping is just a stepmother, not a real mother-in-law. She respects her elders and gives her face. You are stupid and I have to suffer the stench?

I'm not stupid!

As for being afraid that Yan Ping would whisper in Lu's ear and let Uncle Lu treat Lu Shaotang badly?

Please, only Yan Ping herself thinks that Lu Shaotang's success is due to his uncle, right?

Lu Shaotang relied on his own strong professional ability and military merits earned through life and death!

Uncle Lu has always said that Lu Shaotang is a true single-soldier king, and a single-soldier king with command talent, and other old leaders also nodded in agreement.

If he got to this position through connections, would those old leaders think so highly of him?

Besides, Uncle Lu has retired, and even if he still has some ability, he can only arrange some low-level work. Can he help Lu Shaotang get to the next level?

Lin Shu treated her step-aunt as a relative, respected her, entertained her, and performed her duties as a host, which was fine, but you want to act like a mother-in-law to me? Who

do you think you are?

Even my mother-in-law wouldn't act like this.

After all, it's summer, and even if your clothes are dirty, you won't feel cold if you go to the bathroom to wash them, and this is the case for both adults and children.

Yan Ping wanted to blame Lin Shu for running away when things got bad, but when she turned around, she saw Lin Shu coming over with clothes for the three of them.

Lin Shu: "Aunt, I ran to find my uncle, and he and Yan Bin found some clean clothes for you, and also brought some clean towels, so you can wash them here and change into them."

Lin Shu was so thoughtful that Yan Ping didn't know what to say, and Yan Xin had to shut up even though she was angry enough.

Seeing Hu Xiaole's pale face, Lin Shu said concernedly, "Aunt, I told Shaotang to find some diarrhea medicine, but seeing the child's condition, let's go to the hospital."

Hu Xiaole was vomiting and having diarrhea, his face and lips were pale, his legs and feet were weak, and his spirit was very weak. He couldn't vomit anything at this time.

Yan Ping naturally agreed to go to the hospital.

Lu Shaotang drove, Lin Shu sat in the passenger seat, Yan Ping and Yan Xin took Hu Xiaole to the nearby People's Liberation Army Hospital in the back.

Yan Ping was very anxious, "Shaotang, please contact the best doctor."

Lu Shaotang: "Yes."

He just agreed and didn't really take it to heart. If he had diarrhea due to eating something bad, any doctor could prescribe medicine and give injections. Why did he need the best doctor?

The best doctors are busy with patients with serious conditions, how can they have time to see such a minor illness?

Yan Xin: "Auntie, let me go and call Gao Tingting."

Yan Ping herself is the head nurse of the hospital. She is often asked to use her connections to arrange beds for patients. She habitually thinks that you have to use connections to go to the hospital, otherwise you won't get good medical care.

After entering the hospital, Lin Shu said she would go to register and see the gastroenterology department directly, but was stopped by Yan Ping.

Yan Ping: "I am a doctor myself, I know what's going on. Let Yan Xin find someone familiar to arrange a ward later."

Seeing her like that, Lin Shu naturally didn't interfere.

Soon Gao Tingting and Yan Xin came over, and when they saw Yan Ping, they immediately greeted her warmly and were also very caring towards Hu Xiaole.

Gao Tingting: "Aunt Yan, Yan Xin, wait a minute, I'll go find the director and ask him to arrange a single room for us."

Lin Shu glanced at Hu Xiaole. The child was in so much pain, shouldn't they find a doctor to give him an injection first?

I really don't know if Yan Ping really loves the child or is just showing off her dignity.

After Gao Tingting found the director, arranged the room, diagnosed, got the medicine, and gave the injection, an hour passed, and Hu Xiaole's droopy eyelids could not even lift.

Yan Ping sat beside the bed, caressing her grandson's face and body with heartache, "He's really suffering."

She couldn't help but complain to Yan Xin, "This place conflicts with ours. I feel uncomfortable in the car."

Yan Xin, "I felt that before."

Yan Ping couldn't help but turn her head to look at the door again. Seeing Lin Shu standing there talking to someone, she immediately frowned and said unhappily, "This is not her own child, so she doesn't feel sorry for him. Xiaole is in so much pain, but she acts like nothing happened."

Hu Xiaole was still groaning in pain, and he didn't even have the energy to cry.

Yan Ping asked him again, "Xiaole, how many ice creams did you eat? Did Auntie Lin give them to you?"

Hu Xiaole didn't have the energy to speak, and he couldn't open his eyes.

Soon, Uncle Lu and Yan Bin also brought Pan Lili to see Hu Xiaole.

Yan Bin felt a little guilty because he bought the last ice cream and soda for Hu Xiaole.

The drip was hung until the evening, and Hu Xiaole got better.

Children don't pretend to be sick. As soon as they felt better, they felt hungry and clamored for food and braised pork.

Although Yan Ping was used to taking care of children, she was not confused about this. She coaxed him, "You are sick and need an injection. You can't eat anything too greasy. Just eat some millet porridge and noodles that are easy to digest."

Hu Xiaole was still not happy. What was there to eat?

He wanted to eat egg custard!

Yan Ping asked Lin Shu to make egg custard for him.

Lu Shaotang stood up, "I'll go."

Lin Shu went out with him.

After leaving the ward, Lu Shaotang held Lin Shu's hand, "Are you tired?"

Everything was self-explanatory. He knew that it was not tiredness, but... annoyance.

Lin Shu chuckled and said, "I didn't go anywhere. Why are you tired?"

Seeing that she was not in a bad mood, Lu Shaotang also smiled. His wife was really nice and didn't blame him.

It happened that Gao Tingting came over with a bag of things and met the two of them in the corridor on the first floor.

She stared at the two people's clasped hands, and said to Lu Shaotang in an accusatory manner: "Lu Shaotang, do you know who I am now?"

It was as if you don't remember me, you have no conscience, and now that you remember me, you have to apologize to me.

Lu Shaotang's expression was cold, "Sorry, I don't know."

After saying that, he took Lin Shu's hand and left.

Knowing who this person is, the relevant information naturally emerged in his mind. Every time they met before, she stood next to Yan Xin, spoke in a sarcastic tone, and was full of guns and sticks, as if he owed her money.

He was too lazy to pay attention to her at that time, and he was even more lazy to pay attention to her now.

His attitude towards this kind of person is that even if there were only two of them left on the earth, he would not deal with her.

Gao Tingting was so angry that her face turned blue, angry and aggrieved.

"Lu Shaotang, it wasn't like this when you and I were communicating!"

The two people in front didn't stop, but kept walking.

Gao Tingting was so angry that tears immediately flowed out.

She knew that she was... being stupid, but she couldn't help it. She wanted to provoke Lin Shu and make Lin Shu and Lu Shaotang quarrel.

Yan Xin liked Lu Shaotang back then, and she was Yan Xin's good sister and they were often together, so she was present when Lu Shaotang gave Yan Xin something or picked her up.

A tall, handsome and taciturn boy like him can easily win the hearts of girls.

She was no exception.

In order to attract his attention, she deliberately acted differently from Yan Xin.

Yan Xin was shy and quiet, so she deliberately spoke in a sarcastic way, hoping to leave a deep impression on him.

Yan Xin always wanted to get rid of her so that she could be alone with Lu Shaotang, but Lu Shaotang said it was unnecessary, he was just helping his aunt deliver things or picking her up.

When he spoke, Lu Shaotang would look at her, and that look gave her a feeling: Lu Shaotang didn't like Yan Xin, he liked her, and he gave things to Yan Xin just to get close to her.

She even went to look for Lu Shaotang secretly, but... couldn't find him at all.

She could only see Lu Shaotang when he went to Uncle Lu's house and Yan Ping asked him to deliver things or pick people up for Yan Xin.

But the harder it was to meet, the more she liked him uncontrollably.

Yan Xin secretly wrote to Lu Shaotang, and she also secretly wrote to him after peeking at his address.

At first, he didn't reply, but then she suddenly received a reply. She was so excited that she couldn't sleep all night and wanted to go out with him the next day.

After three letters, she couldn't stand it and asked to meet him. The result...

she hated him so much when she thought about it!

How much did she love Lu Shaotang?

Of course not.

The heartbeat, shy crush, and vanity comparison in her youth, naturally ended without an effective response. Hatred lasted longer than love. When the admiration faded, the humiliation and embarrassment brought by his neglect and indifference could not be dispelled. After a few years, it still followed her like a shadow, making her toes numb and wishing to break something.

Break what?

She wanted to let Lu Shaotang also have a taste of humiliation and embarrassment, let him know the despair of dashed hopes, let him...

Anyway, she would not allow him to show off in front of her with a happy look as if nothing had happened!

She wiped away her tears and went to the ward as if nothing had happened, with a concerned look on her face, "Auntie, Yanxin, is Xiaole feeling better?"

Yanxin walked up to her and pulled her, "Tingting, I'm so grateful to you. Thank you."

Gao Tingting smiled and said, "What kind of relationship are we? Do I need you to say thank you to me?" She brought the lunch box over and placed it in front of Yan Ping, "I used to go to your house with you for many meals. Your aunt is so busy at work but she has still mastered cooking skills. I don't want to go home after eating so much of your food. I'm so jealous."

She opened the lunch box, "Auntie, try my cooking. Xiaole's stomach is damaged, so I made some millet porridge and egg custard for him."

In addition to the nutritious meals for Hu Xiaole, she also made some dumplings for Yan Ping and Uncle Lu.

"Time is tight, I don't have time to make dumplings, but I just made some dumplings this morning because I had the dough fermented. Auntie, you can taste my cooking skills."

She let Yan Ping eat by herself while she fed Hu Xiaole.

Gao Tingting was concerned about what happened to Hu Xiaole, why was he having diarrhea and vomiting?

Yan Ping ate the dumplings, glanced at Uncle Lu, and complained, "Xiao Lin doesn't seem to be very sensible. She gave the child a lot of ice cream, which made him..."

Hu Xiaole was so angry that he shouted, "She didn't buy it for me. She is a swindler. She lied to me that eating braised pork and ice cream would cause diarrhea, so she refused to buy it! My aunt and uncle bought it!"
