Chapter 316: Back to Fengli
After hanging up the video, Chang An remembered that there were two big bags thrown on the ground, Chang An untied the bag, and there were a lot of things out of it like a treasure chest, what cured meat, sausages, pickled and dried goose, a big bag of green vegetables, radish, winter bamboo shoots, and snacks similar to glutinous rice cakes.
Lin Lin spread all kinds of things on the ground, Chang An suddenly covered his face with his hands, and he obviously wanted to laugh in his heart, but tears came out uncontrollably.
In the past few years, a person has been used to it, endured all the hardships, and looked at the face, when the frost hit the body, he didn't feel cold, and he didn't feel much pain, but when he encountered these heart-piercing things, it was like a pair of warm hands brushing her wounds, and all the people who didn't feel pain before began to hurt.
, it hurts!
Chang An half-squatted on the ground, still holding a piece of white radish in his hand, his white and chubby body, and some mud on the leaves on his head, obviously just pulled out of the ground.
Chang An grabbed his mobile phone from the table and sent a WeChat message to Chang Jiahui: "Xiaozhi will be discharged from the hospital next Monday, and I will go to Fengli to see Aunt Ying on Tuesday!"
……
The next morning, Aunt Fang came to the hospital to deliver lunch, Chang An let her bring back the two big bags of things given by Aunt Ying, and in the afternoon, Aunt Fang stewed a pot of radish and pork rib soup and sent it to the hospital.
On Thursday afternoon, the hospital gave Xiaozhi the last full body examination, probably because Zhou Wei had taken the relationship between the dean's side before, and all departments were very cooperative, and all the inspection reports had come out the next day.
After that, the doctor told Chang An in detail about some precautions about recuperation and diet after Xiaozhi was discharged from the hospital, and she was afraid that she would forget, so she deliberately wrote them down in the small notebook she brought with her.
……
On Saturday and Sunday, after three or four days of rain, it finally stopped, and it was a sunny day, and the temperature began to warm up significantly.
Chang An took the time to go to the opposite mall to buy something, and on Tuesday he planned to take Fengli with him, and just walked out of the mall with his things, the mobile phone rang loudly, she touched it out and looked at it, frowned, and didn't care, but the gap between a red light was not finished, and the bell began to ring for the second time, followed by the third time, and the fourth time, all from the same number.
By the fifth time, Chang An finally ran out of patience, she pinched off the ringtone and turned the phone back to silent, but half a minute later, the other party sent a text message: "Answer my phone, I have something to talk to you!"
Chang An originally wanted to reply with something cool, such as "Miss Tian, I don't seem to have anything to talk about with you" or other cool words, but after typing a few words on the screen, she felt so annoying and endless, and in the end she didn't say anything and went back to the hospital with the bag.
In the afternoon, Chang An calculated the jet lag and sent a WeChat message to Zhou Wei: "Xiaozhi will be discharged from the hospital next Monday, I want to take her back to Changhe to live first, and then go through the adoption procedures together when you come back after you are done!"
It's a pity that the WeChat didn't reply until after dark, and it was clean with one word - "good!"
The date of Rongbang's listing has been set, and the domestic media has also been very hot during this time, and the countdown to the listing is countdown, Chang An knows that Zhou Wei should be so busy over there that his feet don't touch the ground, and it is estimated that he really doesn't have time to take care of her.
She is not clingy either, knowing that he is busy, she doesn't bother much, only replied: "Pay attention to rest, wait for you to come back!"
As a result, Chang An received a call from Xiao Zhao early the next morning: "Mrs., Assistant Xu contacted me last night and said that you need to use the car on Monday, let me go over to pick you up!"
Chang An knew that it must be Zhou Wei's confession again, this man always looks serious and cold on the surface, but he silently does many things for her in secret.
"Thanks, I need to trouble you to make a trip!"
The hospital has a lot of things to pack and take home, and it would be more convenient to have a car.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhao's phone had just hung up, and Chang Jiahui's > "Sister, I wanted to ask for leave to pick up Xiaozhi from the hospital on Monday, but the boss temporarily asked me to go to Suzhou, and I might not be able to pick you up in time to go back and forth that day, so I'll let Gao Ming go over when I turn around!"
Chang An rubbed his eyes and replied: "You don't need to let Gao Ming run, Zhou Wei has already arranged for his driver to come over." ”
"That's it!" followed by a grimace expression, and then Chang Jiahui sent a voice, "It seems that my brother-in-law still loves you, and I want to praise him when I turn around!"
“……”
Xiao Zhi knew that she was about to be discharged from the hospital, and she was so excited that she couldn't sleep well for the past two days, and she didn't sleep well on Sunday night, and she got up in bright light.
Dressed up by himself, cleaned up his things, and by the time Chang An came over, the little guy had already put the toys he played with in the hospital and the pictures he drew in order.
The nurse accompanied her to breakfast, and Aunt Fang packed her clothes in the room.
At Xiaozhi's request, Chang An bought a lot of boxes of chocolates, and the little guy also prepared small cards in advance, she couldn't write, she could only express them with paintings, but each small card was carefully drawn by her, Chang An helped her put the cards into the chocolate box one by one, and then carried them everywhere to distribute.
First the attending physician's office, then the nurse, and finally Chang An took her to see Liu Peiqiang.
After meeting, Chang An asked the child to bow to Liu Peiqiang first.
Doctor's parents, life-saving grace, she hopes that Xiaozhi can always remember.
Liu Peiqiang touched Xiaozhi's head, the child who operated on his own, watched him become a healthy person little by little, and he was even relieved from the doctor's point of view.
"She is a good child, I heard everything from the ward, she is smart and brave, and it is rare that she is very sensible, so everyone from doctors to nurses likes her very much. Liu Peiqiang also praised it.
Others praised their children, Chang An was modest in his mouth, but he was still very beautiful in his heart, and then he was polite, and then he carried Xiaozhi back to the ward.
Xiao Zhao had already arrived early and helped Aunt Fang move things into the car.
Chang An finally settled the rest of the expenses with the nurse, and gave her a red envelope.
She is always stingy in this regard, as long as others really care about her.
It was almost ten o'clock to clean up and stop, Xiao Zhao was going to drive the car to the door of the inpatient building, but Chang An refused.
She wanted to take Xiaozhi out slowly.
Two people, one big and one small, holding hands, stepping on the sunshine of early spring in March.
In fact, it's only barely been two months since she thought about it, two months ago she was still anxious and panicked, watching Xiaozhi's surgery here like the end of the world, watching her fill her body with tubes in the intensive care unit, but two months later, the child recovered, and her soft little hands were held by herself.
The breeze is blowing and the sun is shining!
Chang An unconsciously took a breath and smelled a faint fragrance of flowers in the air.
"Xiaozhi, spring is coming!"
The cold winter is coming to an end, and everything is going in the best direction.
It was too late to go back to cook, so Xiao Zhao took a carload of people to have lunch outside.
Back in the afternoon, Xiao Zhao moved things, Aunt Fang cleaned up, and Chang An took Xiao Zhi around the house.
The little guy's face was full of surprise and hidden unease, especially standing at the door of the bedroom on the second floor, looking at the beautiful big bed, she asked uncertainly: "Mom, can I really live here forever in the future?"
Chang An squatted down and pinched her little face: "Of course, this will be your home in the future, me and the uncle who went to see you in the hospital last time, we are all your family." ”
Xiao Zhi stared at Chang An in confusion.
"Family..."
Six-year-olds may only have a vague concept of "family", but they have their own precise understanding.
She asked, "Family... That is to say, in the future, the three of us will live together in this beautiful house?"
Chang An's heart had softened, and he reached out and hugged her shoulder, "Yes, that's what you said!"
Although there is everything on this side of the river, there is still some daily necessities to lick for an extra child.
Xiao Zhao was fine anyway, and accompanied Chang An to the supermarket in the afternoon.
Chang An took Xiaozhi to lick daily necessities, children's toothpaste, toothbrushes, small towels, cream shampoo and the like, and after a while, he carried a big bag full of them.
It was almost four o'clock when I returned to Chang'an, Aunt Fang was cooking dinner in the kitchen, Chang'an left Xiao Zhao to eat before leaving, Xiao Zhao didn't agree to anything.
After dinner, Chang An took Xiaozhi out for a walk for half an hour, her body had just recovered, and she didn't dare to let her be too tired, so she walked around the community.
After coming back, Aunt Fang bathed her, and Chang An could still hear the sound of the little guy laughing and playing in the bathtub in the living room.
After washing, she ran out barefoot in her pajamas.
"Mom, the bathtub in this house is so big, super big, like a swimming pool!"
Chang An carried her to the sofa and took a hair dryer to dry her hair.
"Does Xiao Zhi like it here?"
"I like it, but it feels like a dream, if only my father was here, my father has never lived in such a beautiful house. ”
Chang An's hand carrying the hair dryer sank, she pressed the switch off, and the sound of exhaling the wind stopped.
"Xiaozhi, although Dad is not by your side, Dad will watch you from the sky, if you are happy, Dad will be happy, if you are not happy, Dad will be sad with you, understand?"
The little guy nodded his head in understanding, "Well, I understand, then my dad must be super happy now, because I'm super happy too!"
It is said that Xiaozhi is sensible and well-behaved, in fact, in private, she also has the nature of a child, and she will not be mischievous, but there will still be naughty and noisy, and Chang An will not stop it, she hopes that Xiaozhi can adapt to the new environment as soon as possible, not restrained, not sensitive, and return to the normal track.
Before going to bed, Chang An took a stack of materials into the room and hugged Xiaozhi to his lap again.
"Look at which one you like and tell me!"
Xiao Zhi flipped through a few photos, they were all children, and there were colorful houses.
"What are these?"
"School, didn't I promise you before, as long as you obediently take care of your illness, you will start school?"
Chang An has also been paying attention to relevant information during this time, and found the information of several kindergartens on the Internet, and printed it out for Xiaozhi to choose.
The little girl's eyes widened in disbelief, "This is the school?
"So you hurry up and choose one, and your mother still needs to take you to meet the teacher first. ”
In fact, because Xiaozhi has a special identity and has never received formal kindergarten education before, she is so coldly let her enter the school, firstly, I am afraid that no kindergarten is willing to accept it, and secondly, I am also worried that Xiaozhi will not adapt to this environment.
In the end, Xiaozhi chose a bilingual kindergarten, private in nature, not far from Changhe Wangshu, Chang An plans to contact the kindergarten tomorrow to see if Xiaozhi can go to school as a transfer student.
On the second day, I was going to Fengli, and I made an appointment with Chang Jiahui a few days earlier, and she also specially asked for a day to say that she was going to drive over to pick up Chang An, and the two planned to go back to the countryside together.
At eight o'clock in the morning, there was a loudspeaker outside the courtyard, Aunt Fang had made Xiaozhi have breakfast, and just after cleaning up the restaurant, she wiped her hands and shouted: "Who, who is so noisy outside!"
Chang An put on a coat and wrapped a scarf around Xiaozhi.
"It should be my sister who has arrived, let's go out together. ”
Chang An took Xiaozhi to open the door, and sure enough, he saw a car parked at the door, but it was not Chang Jiahui's little MINI, the window fell, and Gao Ming showed a gentle smile, "Sister, early!"
"Morning!"
"Hey, little beauty!" Chang Jiahui ran over and pinched Xiao Zhi's face.
Xiao Zhi called out to Auntie sweetly, Chang Jiahui was so happy that she immediately took out a lollipop from her pocket and stuffed it into Xiao Zhi.
"Well, Auntie specially brought you candy. ”
Xiao Zhi said thank you, then stared at Gao Ming, and secretly asked Chang An: "Who is that big brother in the car?"
"What big brother, he is about the same age as me and your mother, you call me aunt, but you call him brother, what kind of age is this?
Xiao Zhi blinked.
Chang An was speechless, and glanced at Gao Ming, who shrugged his shoulders, and seemed to be used to her childish behavior, but this was just a small episode, and when Chang An introduced Gao Ming to Xiaozhi, the little guy obediently called out to his uncle, and Chang Jiahui was happy again.
"That's right, what big brother, how can he be so young!" After speaking, he stuffed the stick back into Xiao Zhi's pocket.
Xiao Zhi tilted her head, her expression was indescribable, but she made Aunt Fang choke enough, and while helping Chang An put the big bags into the trunk, she laughed, "Miss Jiahui is really like a child, it's so interesting!"
The trip back to Fengli began here, because of Chang Jiahui's "naivety" and set off with a cheerful and relaxed atmosphere, and soon Xiaozhi and this unserious aunt mingled, a big and a small two live treasures in the car, nearly two hours of driving did not feel lonely at all.
When the car entered the town, the mountain road was still there, but the road to the village was much wider than before, and the traffic on the road had obviously increased a lot.
"It's getting more lively. Chang An spoke.
"Yes, Fengli has developed tourism in recent years, and last year built an ecological park, which is near our village, so the roads into the village have all been widened and repaired. ”
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the car to see the sign of XXX Ecological Park, and Chang Jiahui pointed to Chang An.
"Oh yes, my mom also said during the Chinese New Year that she would rent two storefronts in the ecological park and open a small restaurant!"
"It's good, Aunt Ying is very good at cooking. Chang An also agreed with this proposal.
Chang Jiahui sneered, "Forget it, don't toss at her age!"
"Why is it a toss, I also think it's good for my mother to open a restaurant. Gao Ming, who was driving next to him, answered, although the two had not yet had a wedding, but the caller was already shouting according to the relationship between the authentic husband and wife, "My mother also mentioned this to me, I think it is feasible, otherwise you will have nothing to do if you let her be at home all day." ”
"Okay, okay, I know that the relationship between the two of you is closer than mine in private, what kind of son-in-law, wouldn't it be better to recruit you directly as a godson!" Chang Jiahui pouted, this temper really came when she said it, Gao Ming touched his nose and quickly cut off the conversation.
At that time, the sun was shining outside the window, the breeze was clear, it was the season of recovery, and the air was full of the fragrance of grass and trees.
Chang An watched the two people in front of him come and go, and he felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction in his heart.
Soon at the door, before the car could stop steadily, I heard the door creak open, and a head emerged from the inside and shrank back, followed by a bright call.
"It's here, it's here, madam, the car is at the door!" rushed all the way back to the yard, causing Chang An to laugh, "I haven't seen you for so long, but I didn't expect Xiao Ai to be as loud as ever." ”
Chang Jiahui also laughed: "Yes, not only does she have a loud voice, but she also loves to be idle, and it is estimated that everyone in this radius of ten miles already knows her as the number one person!"
As he spoke, all four of them had already gotten out of the car, and the door was opened again, and this time two people came out.
Wei Suying walked in front, her steps were very fast, but she stopped when she walked to the door, and saw Chang An standing in front of the car, and the little girl she was holding in her hand.
Chang An also saw her, a few meters away, Wei Suying was still wearing the thick gray cardigan that she used to wear at home many years ago, her hair was still meticulously coiled into a bun, but her sideburns were a little gray, and the wrinkles on her face were more vivid and clear than before.
is old, this is Chang An's first reaction when he sees her.
"Mom!"
"Mom!"
Chang Jiahui and Gao Ming shouted separately, and finally broke the silence.
Wei Suying came back to her senses at this time, walked up to Chang An, squeezed her arm tightly with both hands, and looked up and down carefully, as if she wanted to see a flower from Chang An.
Chang An was suffocated by the excitement in her eyes, she secretly buried her breath and spoke: "Aunt Ying..."
After a long absence of "Aunt Ying", Wei Suying's lips trembled uncontrollably, and her eye circles began to redden, and finally Chang Jiahui reminded: "Mom, my sister called you!"
"Eh, eh, I heard, I heard!" she finally let go of Chang An, lowered her head and hastily cleaned up the emotions that were almost overflowing, and saw the child who was being held by Chang An, and half-squatted down, "This is Xiaozhi." ”
Chang Jiahui had already told Wei Suying everything, so naturally she was also aware of Xiaozhi's existence.
"Xiaozhi, call people, call grandma!"
"Grandma!"
"Eh, good boy!" The sentence "Grandma" almost made Wei Suying break again, she quickly took out a red envelope that had been prepared from her pocket and stuffed it to the child.
Chang An naturally refused to take it.
"Aunt Ying, you're too polite!"
But Wei Suying didn't let her, "It's not a matter of being polite or not, the child is coming to the door for the first time, how can she be empty-handed when she is a grandmother, this is a matter of etiquette! Take it, if you don't take it, it's too little!"
In the end, there was really no way, Chang An could only accept it, Xiao Zhite said thank you obediently, thank you grandma, and shouted twice, which made Wei Suying like it more and more.
Here, Chang Jiahui stretched out her hand towards Wei Suying, "Mom, what about mine?"
Wei Suying was puzzled, "What's yours?"
"Red envelope, you didn't give me a red envelope this year!" As soon as he finished speaking, he was spit back by Wei Suying.
"How old are you, and you still have the face to ask me for a red envelope?
"Cut, you are biased, you have been biased towards my sister since you were a child, who is your daughter?"
"Why don't you kid get more and more out of shape!" Wei Suying wanted to fight, but was grabbed by Gao Ming, "Mom, you are angry, Jiahui is joking with you!"
Chang Jiahui didn't stop, hiding behind Gao Ming and making faces with his mother.
Wei Suying glared angrily, "Gao Ming is willing to protect you, otherwise who can stand your temper!"
The originally somewhat sad atmosphere was often made of such a fuss by Jiahui, and suddenly became relaxed.
When I entered the door, Chang An remembered that the trunk was still stocked, and Gao Ming and Xiao Ai helped move it out.
As soon as Wei Suying looked at the packaging, she knew that it was all good.
"Why is this still the problem, I always like to carry large bags and small bags when I go home for a meal, hurry up and take it back!" Wei Suying wanted to stuff it back, Chang An refused, the two began to push back and forth, and the same scene was staged twice, Chang Jiahui was impatient.
"Mom, Mom...... Ouch!" She stomped her foot away from the two, "My sister brought it to honor you, don't fight with her, besides, my brother-in-law's company is going to be listed, my sister will be the proprietress of a listed company in the future, and she still lacks your little thing?"
"Okay, gotta order!" "Little Love Fart picked up all the things on the ground and ran into the house like the wind.
Wei Suying scolded Chang Jiahui for being ignorant, Chang Jiahui turned her ear with her little thumb and took Xiao Zhi, "Let's go, aunt will take you into the house, don't bother with them here!"
Chang An said before that where there is Chang Jiahui, there will be no grief, and no matter how stiff and hard the atmosphere is, she can make it very relaxed.
The same was true for that lunch, although Chang An had imagined many scenes before he came, such as Wei Suying would hug her and cry, such as relatives who had not seen her for a long time would tell each other about the hardships of the past few years, but none of this happened.
It's just a meal, a very ordinary but very lively home-cooked lunch, even the dishes on the table are similar to those of three years ago, old goose pot, stir-fried shrimp, chestnut roast chicken, lily asparagus, these are Chang'an's favorite dishes, and finally a white fungus lotus seed soup, because she knew that Chang'an was fond of sweetness, Wei Suying deliberately put a few more pieces of rock sugar in it.
Chang An ate a big bowl.
She knew that although they didn't say anything to each other, some friendships no longer needed to be expressed in words, and they had already been immersed in these details, such as the bag of radishes, winter bamboo shoots, rice cakes that Chang Jiahui carried to the city, and the old goose pot in front of her, as well as the bowl of sweet soup in her hand.
Life is very cold, you may experience a lot of unknown fear and hopelessness, but life will also give you hope and warmth, a bitter, a sweet, as long as the family is still there, there are people behind you, there is no hopelessness.
