They didn’t go to the military hospital because the military hospital was a bit far. To save time, Sisi decided to go to the nearby G City Second Hospital.
Once the little ones arrived at the hospital, they stopped complaining about pain and instead started saying they were hungry and wanted to go home for some soup. However, their faces were still somewhat pale, which worried Sisi. Since they were already at the hospital, she still asked Shangguan to register and get some medicine from the pediatric department.
When Sisi and her group arrived, it coincidentally was lunchtime. The pediatrician was a friendly middle-aged man who was just preparing to lock the door and have his meal when he saw them arriving and thus, returned.
After examining the children, he said it wasn’t anything serious. It was just that the children had weak gastrointestinal systems and had eaten too diverse a variety of foods, which led to acute gastroenteritis. Luckily, these two children were in very good health, otherwise, children with poor constitution might not have been so fortunate.
Sisi fiercely glared at Shangguan, who looked sheepishly aside. It was all Yang Shu’s indulgence, and she showed no awareness of being a mother.
Knowing he was at fault, Shangguan quietly accepted Sisi’s silently reproachful glance without uttering a word.
Nowadays, doctors are quite good. They don’t ask for numerous tests or prescribe a bunch of medications. They only prescribed medicine for three meals, and it didn’t even cost one yuan. Sisi thanked the doctor and then she and Shangguan, each carrying a child, prepared to go home.
The male doctor followed Sisi and the others out, and when they reached the hospital lobby, the male doctor smiled and greeted another doctor coming down from the second floor: "Doctor Guo, how come you’re going to eat at this time?"
The descending male doctor replied with a smile, "Just finished a surgery and took a nap in the office, didn’t realize it was past mealtime."
The voice sounded very familiar.
Sisi turned her head upon hearing the voice, and it turned out to be the elegant gentleman she had eaten ice with along with Lu Yunfei at the ice room. She hadn’t realized he was a doctor.
The man was also surprised to see Sisi. Upon seeing Little Maodou looking lethargic in Sisi’s arms, he understood and chuckled, "Is the child not feeling well?"
Sisi nodded, "Yes, she has a stomach ache."
The man walked up to Sisi, smiled and patted Little Maodou’s head, and then patted Huahua’s head in Shangguan’s arms. It was clear that this man truly loved children. His gaze at Maodou and Huahua was full of compassion, and his demeanor was very gentle.
Children are sensitive, they can sense whether others’ affection for them is genuine or fake. Naturally, both children felt the man’s love for them and behaved very well.
"Doctor Guo, is he your friend?" asked the pediatrician.
The man referred to as Doctor Guo shook his head with a smile, "We have met briefly before, I just remember because these children are particularly charming."
The pediatrician didn’t ask further. He along with Doctor Guo and Sisi’s group said goodbye at the hospital entrance and headed to the hospital cafeteria.
"Doctor Guo, with your love for children, why don’t you marry and have your own? No matter how cute other people’s children are, they are still others’, and it’s always better to have your own."
"Perhaps the right person hasn’t come along yet."
"And you don’t need to spend all your salary on the orphanage every month, surely you should save some for your future spouse?"
"No rush."
...
The conversation between the two men traveled from afar, and both Sisi and Shangguan Ju, who had keen hearing, listened clearly.
It seemed that Doctor Guo must have some hidden stories, otherwise, with his qualities, how could he possibly not find a suitable girl at his age?
Moreover, Doctor Guo, who so dearly loves children, probably wishes to have his own offspring continuing his lineage, right?
Everyone has their difficulties, every family has their challenges!
The two kids really have great physical health, they felt energetic again after taking just one meal of their prescribed three daily doses of medicine, and they clamored to go up the mountain to barbecue all day.
Under the anticipation of the kids and Shangguan, the weekend finally arrived. Sisi and Zhong Anmei had already prepared several large bags of ingredients, enough for everyone to have a feast.
The scenery at Yuncui Mountain was indeed very beautiful, still unexploited and quite wild, and there weren’t many visitors, just a sparse few, around ten people in the morning, and all of them were couples.
They found a relatively flat area halfway up the mountain and began barbecuing. Tian Xinhua worked swiftly, quickly grilling a skewer of chicken wings and without a word handed it to Sisi. Under Shangguan’s envious gaze, Sisi bit into the meat proudly, satisfying herself upon seeing Shangguan swallowing continuously.
It was their fault for flaunting their relationship in front of her last time!
Now she had her husband attending to her too, envy me to death!
Sisi passed the chicken wing she had bitten into to Mao Dou. Mao Dou was quite generous, sharing bites with Du Du and the others, which was very harmonious.
"Sisi, do you think that person is Lu Yunfei?" Zhong Anmei felt a bit bloated after eating several skewers of beef, so she stood up and walked a few steps on the nearby path to digest, and then she spotted someone she didn’t like.
Sisi walked over to take a look, and it indeed was Lu Yunfei and Doctor Guo, both climbing up while talking. Lu Yunfei had a full smile, seemingly in an excellent mood, while Doctor Guo maintained his usual demeanor with a faint smile, his feelings unreadable.
"So Lu Yunfei really isn’t a decent person, flaunting her affair with her lover like this? Isn’t she afraid of being seen?" frowned Zhong Anmei.
"Why care about others’ personal matters? Let’s go and eat."
Sisi didn’t want to encounter Lu Yunfei, so she pulled the agitated Zhong Anmei to walk in another direction.
She actually had quite a good impression of Doctor Guo; in her opinion, a man who likes children cannot be too bad. But why would Doctor Guo entangle himself with a married woman like Lu Yunfei?
With his qualifications, it would be easy to find a young and beautiful girl.
It’s really incomprehensible!
While listening to Lu Yunfei, Doctor Guo inadvertently looked up, spotted Sisi just turning away, frowned deeply, and said to Lu Yunfei; "Yunfei, shall we take that path? Perhaps the scenery is nicer there!"
Lu Yunfei, obedient as always, followed Doctor Guo into another side path.
After returning from the barbecue at Yuncui Mountain, Sisi encountered Lu Yunfei a few times in the courtyard, looking very well and even greeted Sisi - as if the sun rose from the west?
Probably she found consolation with Doctor Guo.
Sisi uncontrollably thought otherwise.
It seems that indeed, men think with their lower half, even a wonderful man like Doctor Guo can’t escape this rule, otherwise, why would he like a pretentious woman like Lu Yunfei?
Good cabbage spoiled by pigs!
Lu Yunfei’s son, Rong Ziqi, due to a previous sneak attack incident, wasn’t popular in the courtyard - many children disliked playing with him, even his former buddy Zhao Dalong gradually distanced himself.
A group of children gathered playing together, while Rong Ziqi stood alone at the side, a scene that was somewhat heart-wrenching. Sisi thought several times about persuading Tie Dan and Du Du to play with Rong Ziqi, but ultimately she didn’t speak out.
Because it involved her Du Du, she would rather be indifferent to others’ children, as children’s feelings are also not so resilient.
