As Deming's wife wasn't in good health, she would find an aunt to come over to check on him every once in a while. The aunt said that she would be able to come over in two days, so she might as well follow her.
Chengzhi Festival then Guo Guo returned to Zhuo Ya Qin's home, and when Zhuo Ya Qin came home from work, she had already wrapped the dumplings.
Zhuo Yanqin looked at the neatly arranged dumplings on the dining table and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to have this kind of ability."
Guo Guo said from the side, "Uncle is the best. He rolled dumplings quickly and wrapped them up. I want to learn how to wrap dumplings from uncle and I can also cook for mom in the future."
"Sis, go wash your hands," Cheng said. "I'll take the dumplings out and tell you something later."
When the dumplings were placed on the table, there were already ten thousand lights outside the window. As it was the Winter Solstice, many families were wrapped in dumplings. Zhuo Yanqin picked up a dumpling, dipped it in vinegar, and took a bite.
"I learned it when I was in military school," Cheng said. "It's a bit new not to do anything these years."
As she ate, she asked, "You said you wanted to tell me something. What is it?"
Cheng Zhi Festival helped Guo Guo to eat while saying, "The Chen family's fourth son came to Fu Cheng, and I had a conflict with him this afternoon. The class's Chen Xiangyu even took a punch on my behalf and went to the hospital."
After hearing Cheng Zhijie's words, Zhuo Yazqin slowly put down the chopsticks in her hand and worriedly asked, "Why did a conflict happen? Logically speaking, you guys shouldn't have interfered. "
"At the beginning, I didn't know it was him, nor did he know it was me," Cheng Zhizhan said. "He tried to force Liu He to become his lover, and Qi Zheng stubbornly followed him out, which was how the conflict started."
Hearing that, Zhuo Yazqin raised her eyebrows and said, "You are really lawless. If I come looking for trouble with you again, you can do whatever you want. If there's anything in F City, I'll help you carry it."
When Cheng Zhizhan heard his sister's words, he laughed and said, "Once he knew that I was scared out of my wits and what could happen to me, I asked around this afternoon and found out that Chen Xiaolian had committed a crime in the capital and was arranged to hide here. I think that my family arranged for me to hide here with Chen Xuanrou. "Don't worry, Sis, there won't be much trouble later on. After all, the old man is still in that position, how can his child be bullied by others as he pleases?" At the end, his face revealed a mocking expression.
Zhuo Ya Qin nodded and said: "That's true, you said Chen Xiang Yu took a punch for you, is it serious?"
"Sister Qi took us to the hospital. The doctor checked and said that her internal organs had been affected, so there should be no problem for her to recuperate."
"I'll take some time tomorrow to go to the hospital and see her. No matter what, it's because of your injuries."
Cheng Zhizhan said, "Alright then. When the time comes, I'll go to your unit to pick you up. Let's go together."
"Don't you have to work these few days?"
"I've been on vacation until the end of the year."
"When are we going back to Beijing?"
"Let's take a look first. I'm not in a good mood when I go back. What's the point of not coming back?"
"We still have a grandfather at home. No matter what, we have to go back and take a look. You haven't gone back for almost a year, right?"
"My mom is jumping up and down to be my daughter-in-law right now. Dad also said that I have to find a family that is on par with them, and he even wants me to live a lifetime like them? "I'm not too tired either."
He knew that his father had abandoned his wife and daughter for his own career, and had even married his own mother. He had secretly peeked out to prevent others from finding out, but only after being caught by his mother did he manage to restrain himself, even though he had stayed behind, even though he was a loving couple who often came to quarrel behind closed doors. Cheng Zhizhan had peeked out to see him after finding out what had happened, and the two of them had slowly started to get together. Zhuo knew that his brother had found a long-lost family relationship here, and now both of them were living under the same roof.
The class all knew that Chen Xiangyu had gotten into a car accident and went to visit her at the hospital. Class monitor Yao Yuan even bought a flower basket and carried it around as he chattered on and on in the ward.
Qi Xiang said, "You don't need to reimburse me. The owner already saved up the medical expenses. He said there's no need to go to insurance."
Yao Yuan said, "You guys are really lucky to have met the person in charge. I had a high school classmate who also had a car accident a few days ago, but he died because that classmate of mine bumped into him first. He spent more than 10,000 yuan to pay for it himself."
A few students beside them echoed Chen Xiangyu and co., saying that the people they met were kind-hearted. They all smiled without saying a word, but for all sorts of reasons, they really couldn't be considered outsiders.
They walked each other downstairs and watched the group of students happily laugh as they left. They took a deep breath and the cold winter air suddenly filled their chests, bringing with it a sense of coolness that the exam was about to end. These few months of college life had been peaceful and fulfilling, and passing the exam was not a problem. After consulting with the teacher, they had been preparing for the exam and believed that the opportunity would be left for someone who was well-prepared.
There were four beds in the ward, two sick, and Qi Jian and Liu He still had a bed to rest on. After the lights were turned off, Chen Xiangyu said, "I really can't smell this disinfectant. If only I could rest at home."
Qi Xiang said, "In two days, you will leave the hospital and go to my aunt's house to recuperate, okay? Why don't you call your mother and ask her to come and stay with you for two days? "
Chen Xiangyu said, "Let's just forget about it. If my mom finds out that I'm injured, she'll have to take me to the Qi City to check up on the hospital. I'll just stay there for two days, alright?"
Qi Xiang said, "Your parents are really close. Last time, when we were eating together, I saw that your dad arranged a chair for your mom. Your mom only sat down when she was settled."
"Their relationship has always been very good," Chen said. "My mom had a big fight with my family for the sake of marrying my dad. I haven't been to my grandma's house yet, but my uncle often comes to visit us now, and my grandpa says that he doesn't recognize my mother anymore. He's never let go of this girl in his heart."
Qi Chang said, "Wow, your dad has such a romantic and passionate story?"
"My mom met my dad after going to the countryside," Chen said. "My dad and mom met when they were cutting in line, and my mom's family wasn't very good, so after going to the countryside, she got to know my dad, and made a personal engagement with him. My dad's family was just an ordinary family, and in my grandpa's words, it's just not right to take them home. My grandpa took my dad and wanted to marry him, but my mom also stubbornly pulled my dad away, so we didn't go back."
"Your mother must be feeling wronged," he said.
"How do you know she feels wronged?" Chen Xiangyu asked.
Qi Xiang said, "Just by thinking about it, you will know. At that time, how old was your mother? It must be because your dad took good care of your mom that your mom wanted to marry your dad. In the end, your grandpa and the others didn't even think about how your dad took care of their daughter in the village. I think your mom must feel wronged, and even felt wronged for your dad's sake. "
The light from the street lamps in the courtyard shone onto the wall of the ward, and the shadows of the bare branches of the poplar trees were also cast on the wall. The cold wind blew past the black shadow and swayed back and forth, and Qi Zheng was lying on the bed looking at the shadow of the swaying tree branches, and said to Liu He who was tossing and turning on the opposite bed: "Liu He, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Liu He said, "I'm still thinking about what happened today. I really didn't think that such a thing would happen to me. If you guys had watched the car drive off and gave up on me, I wouldn't even know what would have happened. I'm the modern version of Xi Er." His voice was trembling, and there was a lingering fear in his voice.
Qi Xiang said: "Do you remember that I, Su Chan, and you were the ones who talked about the start of school? Being able to live in the same dorm for a few years is a type of fate, we are just good sisters. No matter what happens, we cannot abandon each other so easily."
The Willow was lying on its side, blinking its bright eyes at Qi Xiang, who knew that she was crying. "You must believe in yourself," he said. "As long as you work hard, you will definitely be able to fulfill your wish."
Liu He replied with a heavy "En" sound. After which, she smiled at Qi Jing and said softly, "Qi Jian, thank you so much, really."
Qi Zhengyuan also smiled and said, "Don't say any more words of thanks. We'll be fine from now on, studying and living a good life. When our kids get to their knees, we'll sit together and reminisce about our hard work today. How nice."
When Chen Xiangyu heard 'heh', he laughed out loud. "I can tell that she's someone with a boyfriend. Now, she's just thinking about how she's going around her knees."
Qi Xiang said: "Then what about that beauty who saved the hero?"
Chen Xiangyu was stuck. After holding it in for a long time, he said, "Didn't I say it for your sake? You just have to keep plotting with me like that."
Qi Xiang said, "I'm saying that you look really handsome when you save a hero. You don't know how angry I was when I saw you being punched so hard that you vomited blood. I also didn't think that the thermos bottle would make such a huge impact on the ground. I was stunned for a moment."
Chen Xiangyu said, "Your brain is really good. Even an unremarkable thing can give you such destructive power. Don't look at how thin and small you are. You really feel safe being together with you."
Liu He and Liu Yang burst out in laughter when they heard Chen Xiangyu's words.
