No words for a mont.
Yutian silently fixed the bed again and was about to go out with the hot water kettle when Xiaobin directly took it from him.
"Second brother, wait here. Your sister-in-law will be worried if she doesn’t see you when she cos."
Shen ng helped Yutian sit down and placed all the items they brought for Su Xiaoi on the bedside table.
"Second brother, cheer up. Xiangxiang will soon be back with the child, and your wife is fine now. You have to muster up the spirit, otherwise, it will be too painful for her."
"Little sister, little sister, my heart is heavy. Xiaoi has been married to for so many years without enjoying much happiness. Just when our family was finally doing alright, she has suffered so much. I am really scared. Tell , will she have lingering health issues? If anything happens to her, I wouldn’t want to live either."
Shen ng: "......"
That clearly shows he didn’t take Dr. Cheng’s words to heart!!!
"No, didn’t Dr. Cheng just say it? It’s okay, your wife’s surgery was very successful, she is fine. Second brother, I’ll go buy so food and co back. You stay here and wait for my sister-in-law and niece to return."
"Alright, go ahead Xiao ng, you’ve really worked hard following up with this for so long. I’m useless, making you worry about everything."
"You are my brother, and the woman lying in the hospital bed is my sister-in-law. It’s what I should do, don’t talk nonsense."
After saying that, Shen ng patted Yutian on the shoulder and turned to et the worried expression of the pregnant woman.
"What are you looking at for?"
"Who said I was looking at you? You think you’re a ten yuan note? I look at you and you think too highly of yourself."
The pregnant woman: "...."
It was already after 2 PM, and everyone must be starving. The hospital is quite a distance from the State-Owned Restaurant, and Shen ng was too exhausted to move. She found a secluded spot, entered her space, and quickly grabbed a big bowl of beef noodles and a drink, starting to eat.
When you’re starving, only carbohydrates can be a lifesaver.
After eating and drinking her fill, Shen ng began to prepare the al: white rice, spicy sour potato strips, braised pork, white stead buns, beef in sauce, cold mixed vegetables, baby formula, pure cotton diapers, white little socks, and a blue knitted cap which could be washed and dried in just twenty minutes, ready to be worn by the baby soon.
She searched on the shelves for a while and found a suitable al and chicken soup for the pregnant woman and took it back to the hospital.
When she returned to the hospital, it was quite a sight, with her hands full of various items, especially the food containers from which the aroma was wafting.
After entering the ward, she saw Su Xiaoi already lying on the hospital bed, still drowsy, surely unable to eat. Shen ng leaned in to see that Xiaoi’s face was still a bit pale; she really suffered a lot.
"It’s okay, she woke up and spoke for a while and is sleeping now, the baby is also doing well."
"Phew~ that’s good. You must be hungry; let’s eat first. I bought quite a few good dishes. It’s a bitter past but sweet future for your sister-in-law and niece. From now on, everything will go smoothly for them. Let’s consider this a celebration."
Shen ng said this while placing the dishes, lifting the lid of the lunchbox, and the fragrant at aroma instantly filled the entire ward. Shen Xiaobin and Lu Xiangxiang both swallowed their saliva, their appetites greatly enticed by the braised pork.
"Quick, eat up, there’s rice and buns, eat whatever you want. The State-Owned Restaurant had so cold mixed dishes today, and they taste really good, with a hint of spiciness, delicious beyond asure. I couldn’t help myself and took a couple of bites on the way here, I was so hungry. Over here, there’s chicken soup and als bought for my sister-in-law, they are light in flavor, and the chicken soup has had the oil skimd off, perfect for her to drink once she wakes up, just reheat it in the hospital canteen."
"Ah, Xiao ng, you’ve bought such wonderful dishes."
"Eat, eat as much as you can, only when you are full and spirited can you take good care of my sister-in-law and my niece. Our family isn’t short of money, you can eat however you wish."
Over at the hospital bed, the two people lying there, slling the aroma, couldn’t stop salivating, and the pregnant woman looking at the at dishes placed on the table was even more dazzled.
Shen ng looked at her and chuckled, then ate the at voraciously, infuriating the pregnant woman who took deep breaths continuously.
After finishing the al, Shen Xiaobin and Lu Xiangxiang took the lunchboxes to wash. Shen Yutian looked at Su Xiaoi and then at the girl lying on the small bed, paying close attention to both sides.
"Big brother, I’ll go find a nurse for you soon. You alone caring for your wife and child is just not feasible, it will be too exhausting."
"No need, hiring a nurse would cost money, I can take care of your sister-in-law and the child."
"Just listen to ."
Shen ng settled it with finality. She didn’t trust Shen Yutian to properly care for his wife and niece at all, knowing him as an originally careless man who cried like a wailing monkey during his wife’s difficult labor. Now having to take care of two people, including a newly born baby, with his clumsy hands—impossible to manage properly!
Unfortunately, before the door was even opened, Yu Xueli ca in, carrying brown sugar egg cakes, shortbread, canned yellow peaches, and malted milk. Dr. Qian followed right behind her.
"Xiao ng, how is it? Has your sister-in-law woken up?"
"She’s too tired, fell asleep again. How did you all co over?"
Yu Xueli looked a bit embarrassed and glanced at Dr. Qian setting down her things on the bedside.
"Well, hearing that your sister-in-law was out of the delivery room, there wasn’t much going on my side, so I hurried over. Old Qian knew and ca along too."
Shen ng smiled and said: "Thank you, Dr. Qian. Look at you both just coming over and even bringing so much stuff. It’s quite embarrassing."
"It’s only right. I heard from Xueli, she could do this now, and you’ve helped a lot. It’s only logical for us to co and check on you."
"Please, have a seat."
Shen ng brought over two chairs towards them while Shen Yutian also hurriedly got up. The amount of things they brought was overwhelming. Normally visiting soone didn’t require so much, he was sowhat at a loss and looked at Shen ng. Without saying anything, she smiled at him and he quickly thanked Yu Xueli and Dr. Qian generously.
He had to be generous for his little sister’s sake, otherwise, it would be embarrassing for her!
"So, what now, are you going to stay and look after your sister-in-law?"
"I can’t, I don’t have ti. I’ll find a nurse for now; my brother will return tonight, and tomorrow my parents will co over to look after my sister-in-law. Today I asked the textile mill, the grocery factory, and the bus company for help with blood donation; that’s a big favor to return."
The pregnant woman over there knew the hospital had many people coming for blood donations today. She thought they were important figures, not realizing it was this family’s doing. How could such a young woman have such influence?
