Chapter 148: Chapter 148: Must Eat for the Sake of the Son_1
Taking the lunch box, Meng Yunhan started eating, she didn’t really have an appetite, but she had to force herself eat for the sake of her son, otherwise, her son would have no mother to rely on.
The meal from the canteen didn’t have any meat, only vegetables.
Meng Yunhan was gulping down the food, forcing herself to consume it. Orıginal content can be found at 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✶𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✶𝕟𝕖𝕥
Seeing Meng Yunhan’s desperate attempt to eat, Yunhan’s mother dropped her gaze and began to eat with a bitter taste in her mouth.
After Meng Yunhan finished eating, she was about to wash the lunch box, Yunhan’s mother took it from her, “Hanhan, I’ll wash it, you soothe Little Huzi, He’s been playing for quite some time, he should be sleepy by now.”
Meng Yunhan was gently patting her son’s back while humming an English nursery rhyme.
When Yunhan’s mother returned, she heard a song she didn’t understand but didn’t say a word.
Perhaps because Meng Yunhan often sings these nursery rhymes to Little Huzi, they have become his lullabies. Closing his little eyes, he fell asleep.
Mother, let’s withhold the news from dad for now. Oh, we arrived and didn’t even sent a telegram home to inform father that we are safe. I don’t know what kind of worries he might endure alone at home.”
Her mother thought of the old man at home, seeing how her son was, she worried about when he would wake up.
“Alright, I’ll withhold it from your father.” Her original plan was to go back home a few days after sending Meng Yunhan to the military. But seeing her son’s condition now, she couldn’t leave him behind. Meng Yunhan alone wouldn’t be able to handle everything.
Taking care of Little Huzi and Yun Hao on top of everything else.
“Then, mother, mind Little Huzi and Yun Hao for a while. I’m going out to send a telegram home to inform father that we’re safe.”
Yunhan’s mother intended to take over this task, “Let me go. The sun is harsh outside.”
“I’ll go, I want to see if there are any chickens for sale. If there are, I’ll buy one to nourish Ahao. He’s lost so much weight, and the IV fluids just aren’t providing enough nutrition.” Meng Yunhan couldn’t help but cry every time she thought about what Yun Hao was going through.
“Then, be careful.” Hearing Meng Yunhan say this, her mother had to abandon her previous thought. She’ll stew the chicken when Meng Yunhan brings it back, to give her son some nourishment, he has lost too much weight.
“I’ll be back soon.” Meng Yunhan nodded her head and went out the door.
Meng Yunhan braved the harsh sun. She went to the post office first and sent just a few words via telegram: Arrived, safe and sound, do not worry!
Then, she took a stroll, holding a chicken, and returned home.
“Mother, I’m back. Did Little Huzi wake up?” Meng Yunhan put the chicken down, turned towards the hospital bed and asked her mother if Little Huzi had woken up.”
“No, he slept well.” Yunhan’s mother saw the flapping rooster. It must have cost quite a bit.
“You watch them, I will take this to the canteen to stew it.”
With nothing to do, Meng Yunhan began massaging Yun Hao again.
“How is it, my massaging skills are not bad right? I am massaging you now, you can return the favor later.”
“Ahao, you haven’t heard me sing before, right? No, I’ve never sung for you before. What do you want to hear? English version, Hong Kong version, or Chinese version?”
“The English version.”
Meng Yunhan sang “Tian Mi Mi” in English.
The nurse who was preparing to do the rounds heard a hoarse but pleasant voice singing a song inside.
She listened at the door for a while, then, hearing the conversation inside, she turned around and left.
