This isn’t cheap at all.
This is really taking things too far.
However, many people in these times are still quite honest.
Zhao Tianlei brought the two children along to the hospital.
The ward soon became even livelier.
"Da Bao, this is Great Grandaunt."
The brothers immediately greeted her.
Professor Ning knew that Yun Xiaoxiao was married and that she had children, but she had never actually seen them.
"Grand Aunt... Grand Uncle..." It was a formal introduction.
The family of four didn’t stay in the ward long, insisting they hurry home, so the children wouldn’t get cold or hungry.
Everything that needed to be prepared was ready; nothing was lacking for the moment.
On the third day of school, Du Ruo came to the house, and Xiaoxiao finally got to see her.
"Sister Yun, you weren’t home the past few days, and now that school has started, you finally came back. I wish you a belated new year."
Xiaoxiao looked at Du Ruo, "You’ve gained some weight over the New Year."
But Du Ruo didn’t argue, "I had surgery last year, which scared my parents. Now that the market is open, my mom wants to nourish me, so I accidentally overnourished myself."
Gaining weight is a kind of distress too.
It’s not noticeable at home, but when you go to Capital City to take a bath at the public bathhouse, that’s when you notice the extra flesh on your belly.
She had gained weight, and it wasn’t just a little.
"No worries, you’ll slim down soon." Xiaoxiao wasn’t just saying things; food was harder to come by in those times, and like Du Ruo, who was always eating in the canteen with less meat, she would lose weight quickly.
Even if she went out on the weekends to eat something tasty, it was just a treat.
Even Du Ruo’s face had gotten a bit plumper.
Hopefully, it would be as she said.
She didn’t want to get too fat.
Love for beauty is truly ingrained in a girl’s bones.
After dinner, Fang Chaoyang took Du Ruo back to school, then went to night school.
"Xiao Yun, do you want to go to night school?"
Fang Meiyun didn’t know why her sister-in-law would ask her that.
"I do, but I know so few characters, sister-in-law."
She was still flipping through a dictionary, trying to read books, and needing to refer to it often.
At least Fang Chaoyang had attended primary school.
But Fang Meiyun had never been to school.
"You’re still young now, and you can still learn things. Take advantage of your youth. Look at me, I’m married with children, my kids are already in elementary school, but I’m still studying. What I mean to say is, education doesn’t depend on age."
"But I don’t know what to learn?"
"What to learn? I think you’re good at math; how about studying to be an accountant?"
Fang Meiyun worked at a jewelry store and learned simple addition and subtraction quickly.
It’s not bad for a girl to become an accountant.
And so, the matter was settled.
It cost quite a bit of money, but fortunately, school had only started a few days ago, and she was able to get in.
Of course, it was also because Fang Chaoyang had impressed his teachers, so they looked favorably upon his request.
Grandma Fang was even happier about it.
Her granddaughter was going to school too.
In fact, many people in the neighborhood had been asking her if Xiao Yun had a suitor yet and wanted to introduce her to potential matches.
Aunt Yun finally arrived in Capital City, heading straight for the address Yun Xiaoxiao had given her.
"You are?" Aunt Yun, holding the address, glanced at the person who opened the door. Was this the address her niece gave her?
Why was it an old lady who answered the door?
"Who are you looking for?"
Aunt Yun directly mentioned Yun Xiaoxiao’s name.
"You’re looking for Miss Yun? Come in quickly. She’s at school and hasn’t come back yet. She usually returns in the evening. If she doesn’t have class, she goes to the hospital to see her Grandma."
Xiaoxiao’s Grandma was her mother-in-law, right?
How come she was hospitalized so soon?
