When Mu Feng called/called, Mu Hibiscus had just helped Shao Min to go up to the toilet and came back, because one of Shao Min's arms and legs were sealed with a plaster cast and he was unable to move, so he had to take care of him up and down.

The mobile phone sang the theme song of ShakinSteves' "Out of Africa" in the drawer of the bedside table, which was still the ringtone that Shi Yan forcibly changed for her when she was in Wenchuan, and she has been busy these days, and she doesn't care about changing anything else.

Mu Hibiscus helped Shao Minzhi to sit on the bed, pulled a pillow and stuffed it behind her back to let her lean comfortably, and then took out the mobile phone from the drawer of the bedside table in a hurry, and when she found out that it was Mu Feng calling, she immediately pressed the answer button and put it to her ear.

"Ann, it's been a week since the holiday, why haven't you come to work yet?" Mu Feng's voice came with doubts: "What's wrong?" Don't you want to come to work again? ”

"Oh, no," Mu Hibiscus explained to Mu Feng on the phone as she walked towards the balcony outside the door, "It's my mother who was injured, she had an accident during her vacation and is now hospitalized, and I have to take care of her in the hospital for a while." Da"

"What, your mom is hospitalized?" Mu Feng's slightly shocked voice came from his mobile phone, and without waiting for Mu Hibiscus to answer, he hurriedly said, "Then which hospital is your mother hospitalized?" I came over to see her after work at noon. ”

"My mother is hospitalized in the orthopedic hospital," Mu Hibiscus said after saying this, and hurriedly said: "No need Mu Feng, you are busy with yourself, I estimate that I will not be able to go to work in the company until my mother is completely well." ”

"An, I can't wait," Mu Feng's voice came from the mobile phone in a slightly urgent manner: "Help your mother, please take care, I took the order from the airport of the British company, and now people want you to participate in the design, because this order is transferred from that company, so the time is a little rushed"

Mu Hibiscus was a little melancholy after hanging up Mu Feng's phone/phone, in fact, Shao Minzhi had been much better in the past two days, but before the plaster was knocked off, she still wanted to take care of her mother in the hospital herself.

But Mu Feng said that the order is very important, and this is the first big order received by Shuangmu Company, and it is also international, and it is a landmark building like the airport, whether it can make money is one thing, and the most important thing is to rely on this single to make Shuangmu Company's fame.

Mu Feng said that he would come over at noon, if she was embarrassed to speak to her mother, then he would come and tell his mother, he believed that her mother was a reasonable person and would definitely support her career.

There is no need for Mu Feng to say that Mu Hibiscus knows this, after all, Shao Minzhi is not a person with little knowledge in the market, and he used to be the director of the neighborhood committee, and he does not have the narrow concept that women do not need a career and only need to teach their husbands and children at home.

Mu Hibiscus finally told Shao Minzhi about the urgent need for her to go to work before Mu Feng arrived, Shao Minzhi of course asked her to focus on her career, saying that she was fine, just find a caretaker, and after the plaster was beaten, she didn't even need to ask for a caretaker.

Hibiscus hurriedly said how can that be done? Even if the plaster cast is beaten, she can't walk on one leg, and one arm is not very flexible, and even if she is discharged from the hospital, she still has to hire a nanny at home.

Shao Minzhi didn't argue with Hibiscus on this issue, but was concerned about Hibiscus's lifelong events, she sighed and asked Hibiscus, what are your plans now, are you going to go back to eat Shiyan's turning grass?

Hibiscus groaned for a while, but she didn't know how to answer her mother's question, because she hadn't fully thought about it herself.

Shi Yan was indeed good to her during this time, but the past experience reminded her not to trust that man too much, what if one day, he came up with another childhood sweetheart?

Shao Minzhi was obviously dissatisfied with her silence, so he asked her, what kind of relationship is he dealing with Shi Yan now? And what does she plan for her future?

Because from Tai'an back to Bincheng, and then to her admission to the senior ward of the orthopedic hospital, there is no credit for Bu Shiyan.

Especially in the past few days when she was hospitalized, Shi Yan came to see her every afternoon after work, and specially ordered soup from the calcium bone hall to give her to drink every day, and said that drinking more bone broth to supplement calcium is helpful for bone growth.

She is not a fool, the reason why Shi Yan is so good to her is not that she wants to chase her daughter back?

Mu Hibiscus didn't know how to answer Shao Minzhi's question, Mu Feng came, he held a large bouquet of carnations in his arms, and brought a big fruit basket over.

Shao Minzhi immediately said that Mu Feng was too particular, in fact, he was already very happy to come to see her, not to mention that she had a lot of fruits here, and she couldn't eat them all, so let Mu Feng take them back to the office to eat when he went back.

Shao Minzhi is telling the truth, after she was hospitalized, not only Shi Yan came to see her every day, but in the past two days, Huang Ruizhi and other students who had An Zhengrong also came to visit her, of course, they didn't come empty-handed, so there were really too many fruits to pile up.

Mu Feng laughed and said that since he had already brought it, how could there be any reason to take it back? What's more, he doesn't like to eat fruits, and he usually doesn't eat fruits at home, so she can't eat it and let Ann help eat it, anyway, Ann likes to eat fruits!

Mu Feng looked at her sideways when he said this, and Mu Hibiscus's face couldn't help but turn red, she went to his apartment once a few years ago when she was still working in a tech company, and that time he went to buy fruit to eat after dinner, but he didn't expect him to remember it now.

Mu Feng came directly after work, and she hadn't eaten lunch yet, so Mu Hibiscus accompanied her to a restaurant outside the hospital to eat, and at the same time discussed the company's problems with him.

It's really busy, because Mu Feng not only took over the case of the airport, but also has a piece of land in the mainland that the innovation and technology company is planning, and now the two of them opened this Shuangmu company, so they passed the case over, and the boss also named the hibiscus design.

Mu Hibiscus really couldn't shirk when she heard Mu Feng say this, after all, the company was not Mu Feng's alone, not to mention that she promised him to go back to work when she asked Mu Feng to grab the order at the airport.

In the end, she promised Mu Feng to go back to work tomorrow, and she arranged her mother's affairs in the afternoon, and she had to ask a caretaker anyway, and then she had to explain the precautions to her.

After sending Mu Feng away, Mu Hibiscus immediately asked a nurse to help contact the nurse, because she had to work during the day and couldn't take care of Shao Minzhi at night, so the nurse had to be with the ward 24 hours a day.

Fortunately, it is not very difficult to ask for a nurse, the most important thing is that she is generous and does not bargain with others, so the nurse quickly helped her contact the nurse.

Shi Yan came over from work early today, but when he arrived at the hospital, Mu Hibiscus had already arranged Shao Minzhi properly, and when he heard that she was going to work, he didn't say anything, just asked if he wanted to find someone to take care of Shao Minzhi.

Mu Hibiscus said no, the newly hired caretaker Aunt Li is very good, and she is an old nurse in the hospital, and she has asked, Aunt Li has taken care of a lot of patients, and her former family members have praised her.

Because Shao Minzhi was taken care of, Mu Hibiscus no longer had to stay in the hospital ward, so the two of them told Aunt Li a few words, said goodbye to Shao Minzhi, and then walked out of the hospital together.

"I'll take you to dinner," Shi Yan drove the car out of the hospital gate, and immediately asked her with a sideways face, "What do you want to eat?" ”

Hibiscus shook his head and yawned: "I don't want to eat anything, I just want to go back to sleep, I've been taking care of my mother in the hospital these days, she has to get up two or three times at night, I always don't dare to let myself fall asleep, so I haven't slept well." ”

"Then I'll send you back first," Shi Yan immediately said: "You go home and go to bed first, and then I'll go to the supermarket to buy some ingredients and go back to cook, and when I finish the meal, you will sleep for two hours, and then get up and eat." ”

“”

Mu Hibiscus didn't speak, it seemed that his arrangement was not bad, and she was indeed a little sleepy, and she didn't bother to object, anyway, he was dangling in front of her now, and she didn't seem to have much effect on opposition.

Shi Yan completely acquiesced when she was silent, so she stopped talking and quickly drove to Anjia's community, in fact, the orthopedic hospital is not too far away from Anjia's community, if there is no traffic jam, it will only take half an hour to arrive.

But today's luck is really not ordinarily bad, not only traffic jams, but also big traffic jams, so Shi Yan's desire to send hibiscus home early and then go to the supermarket to buy vegetables and cook is doomed to fail.

"You better sleep in the car for a while," Shi Yan shook his head helplessly as he looked at the long queue outside that was stuck at all, and leaned over to help her flatten the seat.

Mu Hibiscus looked out the window of the car and nodded, no one expected the traffic jam, and this can't be blamed on Shiyan, so he adjusted his posture, gently closed his heavy eyelids, and slowly fell asleep.

She is really sleepy, since the accident of Shao Minzhi in Zhilu Dao, she has hardly slept well, although she later knew that Shao Minzhi had nothing to do, but it is still very tiring to take care of Shao Minzhi in the end.

Hibiscus sleeps very deeply, and when a person is too tired, he always sleeps like incense, and he hardly even dreams it.

When she woke up, it was already dark outside the window, and even the street lamps not far away seemed a little dim, as if they were drowning in the green jungle.

And Shi Yan was no longer in the cab, and the car was no longer on the avenue she was stuck on before going to bed in the afternoon, so she couldn't help but rub her eyes with her hands.

Where is this? Why is the surrounding environment so familiar? I feel like I've been here before, but I can't remember what this place is.

Shi Yan was not there, and the air conditioner in the car was still on, and the car keys were still hanging on the car, he was really bold, and he was not worried that a bad guy would drive his car away.

She yawned and sat up, only to realize that she was still covered with Shi Yan's coat, probably because he saw her asleep and was afraid that her abdomen would be cold.

She threw her coat in the driver's seat, pushed the door and got out of the car, and reacted violently when she saw the courtyard gate and the pure natural lake not far in front of her.

This is outside the gate of the Shi family compound, Shi Yan actually drove the car back to the Shi family compound, what does he mean by this?

Before Mu Hibiscus could fully react, Gu Xue had already run out of the door of the compound, and her eyes lit up when she saw her, and then she shouted in surprise: "Cousin-in-law, you are here, rare guest." ”

Cousin-in-law? Mu Hibiscus was instinctively startled, and then hurriedly waved his hand at Gu Xue and said, "That, Gu Xue, don't scream, Shi Yan and I are just ordinary friends." ”

Gu Xue stared at her with obvious deep meaning, but her mouth immediately changed her words: "I'm sorry, I still remember the previous name, okay, then do you mean that I want me to call you Sister An?" ”

Mu Hibiscus couldn't cry or laugh a little, Gu Xue was deliberate, she didn't know the way, among ordinary people, the polite address is Miss XX or Ms. XX.

Before she could answer in a hurry, Shi Yan had already walked out, and immediately knocked on Gu Xue's head: "Don't hurry in, grandma is looking for you, and you sneaked out again." ”

Gu Xue stuck out her tongue mischievously at the hibiscus, then quickly turned around and ran into the courtyard again.

"Why didn't you agree to come here with you," Mu Hibiscus was very dissatisfied with Shi Yan's unauthorized behavior, he was too arrogant, just because they had met often these days, did he think she would agree to anything?

"I'm sorry," he quickly apologized in a low voice, and then patiently explained: "But today is Aunt Rong's birthday, I forgot, and I only learned about it when I received a call/call from my dad on the road, so I had to drive back." ”

Shi Yan paused here and looked at her with guilty eyes: "You slept so soundly at that time, I couldn't bear to wake you up, so I drove over directly." ”

"Your aunt's birthday?" Mu Hibiscus frowned slightly, tried to recall the events of four years ago, and immediately felt that something was wrong, so he reminded him coldly: "I remember that Mrs. Shi seems to have a birthday on October 4th, right?" It's the 14th today. ”

"My grandmother and Aunt Rong's birthdays are both lunar calendars," Shi Yan still patiently explained to her: "Four years ago, it was the 4th, and this year it happens to be the 14th, I really didn't lie to you, and I don't plan to come back." ”

Mu Hibiscus didn't gnaw when he heard him say this, her family and her father used to celebrate birthdays on the solar calendar, but her mother Shao Minzhi liked to celebrate lunar birthdays.

Therefore, whether this birthday is over the lunar calendar or the solar calendar depends on everyone's own preferences, and whether Bai Huirong's birthday four years ago was the solar calendar or the lunar calendar, she really doesn't know what to do.

Since it was Bai Huirong's birthday, Mu Hibiscus was embarrassed to blame Shi Yan, so she said to Shi Yan: "Then you send me out, I'll stop a taxi at the gate of the community,"

Before Shi Yan could answer, he heard Liu Qin's voice at the gate of the courtyard: "Mu girl, since you are here, come in quickly, what are you going to do?" It's all at the door, and if you leave, you won't give my wife face. ”

Mu Hibiscus was slightly stunned, looked at Liu Qin who was walking towards him, his face was slightly red, and he quickly explained: "I don't know that Lu Dao is Mrs. Shi's birthday, not to mention, I haven't prepared a gift." ”

"What kind of gift are you preparing, if you can come, it will give her the greatest face," Liu Qin couldn't help but say, and directly grabbed Mu Hibiscus's wrist and dragged it away: "Come, go in with grandma." ”

Mu Hibiscus only felt extremely embarrassed, so he quickly spoke: "That, Old Madam Shi, I'll still call you Old Madam Shi." ”

"How rusty is it to call Mrs. Shi?" Liu Qin glanced at Mu Hibiscus, and said a little angrily: "The children of the people are calling the older grandmothers outside, I am so old, you still don't call me grandma?" ”

"Mu Hibiscus was completely speechless, can it be the same when she calls Liu Qin and grandma and the children outside call the older strange woman grandma?

Mu Hibiscus was dragged into the Shi family's compound by Liu Qin, and as soon as she walked to the middle of the courtyard, she immediately saw Bai Tingting and Lin Chenxi coming from the pavilion, the two of them were whispering something, and when they saw her, they were obviously stunned.

Or did Lin Chenxi react first, quickly piled up a warm smile on her face, and greeted her cordially: "Miss An, you also came over to celebrate Aunt Rong's birthday?" ”

Before Mu Hibiscus could answer, she only heard Bai Tingting say: "Hmph, some people are just so uninteresting, people didn't invite her, so they came here with a dead face." ”

"Who's dead?" Liu Qin's face immediately sank, and she couldn't help but say to Bai Tingting: "I'm still alive, I still have the final say in this family, and I invited the hibiscus, what's the matter, do you have an opinion or your aunt has an opinion?" ”

Bai Tingting didn't expect Liu Qin to protect the hibiscus so much, so she didn't dare to gnaw immediately, so she quickly lowered her head and explained softly: "That, grandma, I didn't know that Miss Lu Daoan was invited by you, I'm sorry, I haven't heard you say that you want to invite Miss An before." ”

"Who is going to tell you if I invite you?" Liu Qin glared at Bai Tingting fiercely, very dissatisfied with what she had just said.

Bai Huirong had already heard Liu Qin's voice in the hall, and quickly greeted her, and when she saw the hibiscus pulled by Liu Qin, she was slightly stunned, and immediately changed to a friendly smile.

"Oh, it's Hibiscus?" Bai Huirong hurriedly came over to greet Mu Hibiscus enthusiastically, and then explained to her softly: "Mu Hibiscus, do you know that Dao Tingting's girl has been spoiled since she was a child, and she doesn't talk or do things big or small, don't worry about her, she has that character, and she will have nothing to do after a while." ”

"Madame Stone, I"

"I'm going to send Hibiscus home," Shi Yan picked up the words on the side, and then said lightly to Bai Huirong: "It was my father who called/called me back, originally I was going to go to her house with Hibiscus to cook and eat." ”

The implication of Shi Yan's words is that if it weren't for my father's call/call to me, I wouldn't have come back, let alone Hibiscus, and we didn't bother to attend your birthday party at all.

Bai Huirong is such a smart person, not to mention that she can also feel Shi Yan's character clearly, so she quickly took over with a smile and said happily: "Of course, it is best that you can bring hibiscus, your father and I have long been looking forward to you bringing her back." ”

The corners of Shi Yan's mouth twitched, and he didn't answer again, but fortunately, he had already arrived at the door of the hall, and the group walked in, only to realize that there were really a lot of people inside.

After a lapse of four years, Mu Hibiscus returned to the Shi family compound again, but she was no longer the identity of four years ago, but most of the people present still thought that she was Mrs. Shi Shao four years ago.

"Sister-in-law is a rare guest," Shi Lei spoke first, and immediately ran over, didn't even play mahjong, and immediately grabbed a bottle of herbal tea and handed it to her: "Sister-in-law drink tea!" ”

Mu Hibiscus couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly explained to him: "Your brother and I are actually ordinary friends, don't you want your sister-in-law and sister-in-law to call it good?" ”

"Uh-huh," Shi Lei nodded very obediently, and then hurriedly asked, "Then what do I call you?" Call Sister Ann? But I seem to be a little older than you, right? Why don't you call you Sister An? ”

Mu Hibiscus was embarrassed, and just as he didn't know how to answer, Shi Yan immediately knocked on Shi Lei's head twice with his hand: "Get out, don't make trouble, play your cards, are you bad luck and lose money today?" ”

"It's time to eat, stop playing cards," Bai Huirong beckoned everyone on the side: "Let's put the field away, the kitchen is all ready, the dishes are almost ready, let's go to the restaurant and find a place to sit down." ”

This is the Shi family's family banquet, and the people who come are all related to the Shi family, and Mu Hibiscus is completely an outsider, in such an environment, in fact, except for a Shi Yan, she doesn't know who to go to.
