She was really just curious, having never seen someone pregnant before, purely curious.
After starting anew, Xu Nianhua felt she was becoming more and more like a twenty-year-old girl, with her previous life feeling like a nightmare.
"The child is saying hello to Auntie."
Zhou He said with a beaming smile.
Because of the unborn child, the family gathered together, laughing and chatting, with none of the tension usually found before college entrance exams.
July 5, two days before the college entrance exam.
Ji Ying put aside her work at the Chili Factory and prepared delicious food daily for Xu Nianhua and her siblings, hoping to smooth their path during the exams. Meanwhile, nobody in the family mentioned anything about the exams to keep the pressure off them.
Especially Xu Nianhua, who missed her final foreign language exam last year due to eating a bun containing Badou.
Ji Ying naturally wouldn’t make the same mistake again.
After July, Ji Ying didn’t even return to the village, fearing she might run into Zhao Juxiang, who could propose some unreasonable demands. She would definitely be displeased, and she still remembered last year’s incidents, furthering her desire to avoid Zhao Juxiang and her family.
Pei Yicheng walked from the hospital room to the doctor’s office, stood in front of Doctor Hu, and bowed deeply, sincerely saying, "Thank you, Doctor Hu, for healing my leg. If there is anything you need in the future, please feel free to ask."
His words were firm and clear, filled with a calm strength, a promise to Doctor Hu.
Doctor Hu waved his hand, saying, "I am a doctor, this is what I should do. Officially, you should stay in the hospital for another half a month, but going back home won’t be a problem since your grandfather is also a doctor. For the next half month, you must strictly follow the rehabilitation plan, and not miss a day’s medication."
"Rest assured, Doctor Hu, I will do exactly as you’ve instructed after I return home," Pei Yicheng’s voice was steady and strong, imparting a sense of reliability.
When leaving, Pei Yicheng stood at the hospital entrance for a long time before saying, "Ling Dong, take some money and improve the road home for the doctor, make it wider."
He hadn’t made money before, but his mother left him many valuable things. Since Doctor Hu healed his leg and refused to take money, he could only help the doctor in his own way.
Doctor Hu lived near the hospital, just that the road was a bit narrow.
"Yes," Ling Dong responded.
Pei Yicheng said again in his heart, then turned and left.
On the way back, Pei Yicheng looked out the window at the swiftly passing scenery, the corners of his mouth slightly lifting.
"Brother Cheng, once we get back, let’s celebrate properly."
Cheng Hao whistled while driving, seeming extremely happy. Initially, when they came to Xi Province, everyone was uneasy and apprehensive, fearing that the treatment might not work. But now, it was different, Brother Cheng’s leg had finally been healed.
Moreover, his relationship with Zou Yaru was extremely sweet, making Cheng Hao feel particularly at ease.
"Right, Brother Cheng, should we stop somewhere and book a restaurant?" Ling Dong suggested, also feeling that it was time for a grand celebration.
Compared to the visibly elated Ling Dong and Cheng Hao, Pei Yicheng was the calmest of them all.
The car slowly stopped outside Du Chang’s clinic. Pei Yicheng walked into the clinic, stood before Du Chang, saw the joy and excitement in his eyes, and slightly lifted his lips, saying, "Grandfather, I am back."
