It took only 10 days to prepare for the state banquet exhibition at Buckingham Palace in the United States, and 6 days to prepare for Ling Qiaoqiao's birthday banquet.
Sitting in the guest room of St. Gree Hospital, Ouyang Limo looked at the banquet layout completion schedule handed over to her by Xia Qiyanxin, basically all the projects were already completed, only a few projects were still unfinished, and the completion deadline was shown to be tomorrow morning.
"Have you checked with the Dutch side about the flowers?"
"The flowers will arrive at the airport at six o'clock tomorrow morning, and they will arrive at the store at seven o'clock, and the flower arranger will arrive at about half past seven, and everything has been confirmed." Xia Qiyan looked at the notepad in his hand and said.
"Flowers are the most important arrangement, so make sure they are correct. The banquet starts at 10 a.m., and all the decorations must be completed at least by 9:45 a.m. Ouyang Limo closed the schedule and told him, "You communicate with the flower arranger again and see if you can get to the store at seven o'clock." ”
Xia Qiyan was a little embarrassed: "This flower arranger was hired with great difficulty, he has a course in the neighboring province in the morning, from five to half past six, and it is already very good to be able to arrive at the store at half past seven." ”
"Five o'clock class in the morning?!" Ouyang Limo's eyes widened, "What class needs to start at five o'clock in the morning?!" ”
"I heard...... What is it called the metaphor of the morning......" Xia Qiyan tried to recall, "It seems that the freshest air in the morning can inspire people's creative inspiration or something, and the fee is very expensive." ”
"There are so many flower arrangers, why do you want to invite him? Since he is not available, let's change it. "Ouyang Limo hates these gimmick artists from the bottom of her heart, they are called art and creation, but in fact they are useless.
"No, Sister Limo, he is the flower arranger invited by Ling Qiaoqiao......"
Xia Qiyan was also very helpless, when he received the flower arranger's itinerary, he knew that this time would definitely not work, and immediately wanted to contact another famous flower arranger, but was resolutely opposed by Ling Qiaoqiao, saying that he had to do it.
"This is too tight, and if you don't have time to finish it before the start time of the morning banquet, the effect of the banquet will be greatly reduced. Not only will you lose money, but more importantly, you will lose your reputation as a mo. She threw the schedule on the table and made a "pop" sound.
Xia Qiyan knew that his proprietress valued the reputation of the store more than money, so he could understand the reason why she was angry now, but sometimes customers were so willful, and they were helpless.
"Forget it, let's do it first, you just continue to stare at him, in case it really doesn't work, a simple arrangement is better than half of the arrangement and half of the arrangement is not arranged......" Ouyang Limo pressed her temples, feeling very tired.
She has been in the hospital for three days, and has not returned to the store, and tomorrow is the day of the banquet, while she remotely manages the layout of the store, she has to discuss Xiao Xiao's condition with the doctor and worry about her all the time.
In the three days she was in the hospital, except for the night when the operation was successful, she slept a little more peacefully, and the other two nights almost didn't sleep much, causing her dark circles to come out and her head to be dizzy.
"Sister Limo, you can sleep well today, and you will also be invited to attend tomorrow's banquet." Xia Qiyan persuaded.
"I want to get a good night's sleep, but I can't sleep when I think about it." She looked at her watch, "It's almost time to visit, I'm going to see Xiao Xiao in the ward, you go back first." ”
"Okay."
After Xiao Xiao woke up, his body recovered really well, he could only eat liquid food on the first day, and he could eat some rice cereal on the second day, which made Ouyang Limo feel a little comforted.
"Miss Helen." Walking down the corridor leading to the ward, she saw Helen chatting with an American doctor in the distance.
Helen saw her and walked towards her: "Miss Ouyang, are you coming to see Xiao Xiao again?" ”
"Yes, tomorrow I have to go back to the store to preside over the banquet in person, so I can't come over, so I'll come and see her again while I'm still free today." She smiled and explained.
"I was just discussing Xiao Xiao's condition with the doctor, and he said that the latest test results are out, the site of Xiao Xiao's brain surgery, the wound has begun to heal, and everything is fine. You can go to tomorrow's banquet with confidence, there is no problem here. ”
Ouyang Limo said gratefully, "Thank you for caring so much about Xiao Xiao's condition. ”
Suddenly, she thought of something: "By the way, Miss Helen, I said before that I would invite you to sit in the store, it is better to hurry up than to hurry, tomorrow, how about it?" You and the doctors are coming, and it's crowded. ”
"Tomorrow?" Helen was a little surprised, "Isn't tomorrow Miss Ling's birthday party?" She didn't invite us, so wouldn't it be good for us to go there without permission? ”
"It's okay, you saved Xiao Xiao, you are my benefactor and my friend. The shop is mine, and as the chief conductor of the venue supply and banquet decoration, don't I have the right to invite a few friends to attend? Ouyang Limo solemnly invited her, "Tomorrow at ten o'clock in the morning, please be sure to attend the banquet with your face, I will explain that the staff in my store are waiting for you at the check-in desk, don't worry." ”
Helen didn't expect that she would remember the promise she had said before so deeply, and seeing that she was so sincere, she no longer refused: "Then I will thank you for the invitation on behalf of the doctors, and we will be there on time tomorrow." ”
"Mom!"
Hearing the sound of the ward door, Xiao Xiao, who was lying on the bed bored, subconsciously looked at the door, saw that it was his mother who came in, called her happily, and wanted to get out of bed and run over to meet her.
Ouyang Limo hurriedly stopped her: "It's cold on the ground, be good, go back to bed and lie down." ”
"Mom, Xiao Xiao has been waiting for you for a long time, why did you come?" Xiao Xiao obediently listened to his mother's words and returned to the bed, pouting and saying with a slight dissatisfaction.
Ouyang Limo stretched out her index finger, put it on her lips, "shhhh Now Mom can't help it, so she comes in and looks at you quietly. ”
Xiao Xiao nodded as if he didn't understand, and followed her example, stretched out his index finger, put it on his lips, "shhhh ”
Ouyang Limo stretched out her hand and pulled a few of her messy strands of hair behind her ears: "Uncle Doctor said that if you can't rest quietly alone these days, you won't be able to get out of bed in the future, and you won't be able to go outside to play, Xiao Xiao, do you want to do this?" ”
Xiao Xiao frowned and pursed his lips, shaking his head: "I don't want this, I want to go out and play." ”
"That's right, Mom promised you to take you to Ferris Paradise to play, buy you a rabbit doll, and eat mango ice cream, right?"
In a trance, she remembered that when Xiao Xiao was unconscious a few days ago, she was very scared, very scared, very scared, and thought that these things that had promised her could no longer be realized. Now Xiao Xiao is lying on the bed, with round eyes open, smiling and calling her mother, she feels as if she has had a long, long dream, a nightmare, for fear that she will never wake up in the dream......
"Mom, when can we go to Ferris Park?" Xiao Xiao shook her hand and pulled her back to reality from her trance.
"When you're well."
"And when will I get better?" Xiao Xiao still doesn't understand what kind of state it is to be well.
"It's just that after the doctor uncle helps you check it out, he agrees that you can be discharged from the hospital, that is, you are cured. Then mom can take you to Ferris Paradise to play. ”
Xiao Xiao nodded, and couldn't wait to urge: "Mom, then let the doctor uncle come over to help me check it out now and see if I'm okay, I want to go to Ferris Park now!" ”
"Not yet, you've only been lying down for two days, how can you be so fast." Ouyang Limo was angry and funny.
"How many days will that take?!" Xiao Xiao is young after all, and lying in bed for two days has made her feel uncomfortable, so she wants to get out of bed and run and jump and play happily.
"Xiao Xiao has to be well-behaved, and he has to lie in bed to recuperate during this time. Mom taught you that you have to take your time step by step in everything, and you must not be in a hurry, don't you remember? She began to teach Xiao Xiao when she was a child, and slowly instilled in her life truths, because they are a single-parent family, she hopes that her daughter can be precocious, so that she will not be bullied by other classmates when she is studying in the future.
"I remember. I'll be in the hospital. Xiao Xiao looked at her quietly, and said with blinking eyes, "Then my mother must come to pick me up when I'm sick." ”
"Okay, mom promised you that when you get better, I will take you home immediately." Ouyang Limo touched her daughter's small soft hand and promised seriously.
The leaves outside the window of the hospital room were gently swayed by the wind, and they were a little dazzling in the sunlight.
"But Mom wants to take a day off with you tomorrow, okay?"
After hesitating for a while, Ouyang Limo still opened her mouth and said what she had been thinking about since she entered the ward.
"Mom, what are you going to do? Won't you come to see me tomorrow? Xiao Xiao was unhappy all of a sudden.
"Mom has very important work to do tomorrow, and she can't return to the hospital until late at night, Xiao Xiao has already slept at that time, and the doctor uncle doesn't allow Mom to come to see Xiao Xiao at such a late hour, so Mom won't be able to see Xiao Xiao tomorrow." Ouyang Limo patiently explained to her that although she hated that she didn't accompany her daughter on the grounds of work, she felt very uncomfortable looking at her unhappy face.
Fortunately, Xiao Xiao is used to her mother often having no time to pick her up from school for work and no time to take herself out to play, she will only complain at most, and then she will be very sensible and considerate of her mother's difficulty.
"Mom, it's just one day, it's okay, there is a nurse sister here who will accompany me, you go to work."
What she didn't know was that every time she heard her daughter comfort herself so considerately, Ouyang Limo's heart was sour......
Dear baby girl, I'm sorry......
