Chapter 114: Chapter 114: Beware of the Big Pig Trotters! Chapter 114: Chapter 114: Beware of the Big Pig Trotters! The old n were initially waiting eagerly, wanting to be discharged from the hospital quickly. They didn’t expect to be stood up like this!
Being stood up was one thing, but hearing that Pei Jue had accompanied Qingwu back to her hotown, the old n understood and just told them to be safe and return tomorrow.
In short, they didn’t want to discharge themselves first; they insisted on waiting for Qingwu to co pick them up.
After listening to Pei Jue helplessly relay the old n’s instructions, Qingwu couldn’t help but laugh out loud!
Whether it was the two old n or the Shen family, they all sincerely cared for her!
Both Pei Jue’s and Qingwu’s phones rang simultaneously.
Shen Boyi’s angry voice ca from Pei Jue’s phone, “Pei Jue! Where did you take my sister? Are you planning not to co ho tonight?”
“Calm down, big brother. Xiao Wu and I are at Qingyuan; didn’t you personally write that sign?”
Shen Boyi blushed, clearly not expecting Pei Jue to see through his little sche so easily.
After all, his calligraphy had won many international awards!
Although it seed a bit overkill to hang it at a small village house entrance, thinking that this was where his sister had lived for so many years and would completely belong to her in the future ward Shen Boyi’s heart.
“Hmph, so what if I wrote it? Are you planning to stay at Qingyuan tonight and not co back?”
“We do plan to stay one night.”
Shen Boyi quickly hung up the phone and imdiately called Qingwu, only to be told the other party was on another call.
Shen Shaojia, while looking at her experint data in front of her, gave a stern reminder.
“Xiao Wu, don’t be fooled by that big pig hoof Pei Jue. If he dares to take advantage of you tonight, make sure to hit him where it hurts!”
Qingwu: “…”
“But if you want to take advantage of him, that’s alright too; just be safe.”
Qingwu: “…”
What exactly was her sister thinking?
“Sister, how do you know Pei Jue and I are at Qingyuan?”
“Pei Jue himself sent the location and even your photos with him. Hmph, he even showed your photos to Granny Lin. At least he has so conscience.”
Only then did Qingwu know that Pei Jue actually inford the Shen family of their location… probably so they wouldn’t worry about her!
That he could go to such lengths, considering even such small things, made Qingwu’s heart feel warm.
“Xiao Wu, when are you coming to Qingshan County to visit your sister? I miss you so much that I’ve lost my appetite and have beco almost skinny! When you visit , I’ll make you a roast chicken, braised chicken, stewed chicken, and fried chicken feast!”
Qingwu: “…”
At the Qingshan County experint base, those chickens in the feast were probably officially sanctioned chickens; wasn’t it okay for her to eat them?
“I’ll go pick up Grandpa from the hospital tomorrow, and in a few days, I’ll co see you. Grandma and Grandpa have prepared a lot of gifts for you.”
“Good, good, good, sister will be waiting for you!”
Shen Shaojia gave a series of kisses to the receiver before reluctantly hanging up the phone.
Shen Boyi’s call persisted and finally got through after Shen Shaojia hung up.
“Xiao Wu, are you not coming ho tonight?”
Qingwu glanced at the darkening sky, already dotted with stars.
Shen Boyi held his phone eagerly, almost wishing he could fly a plane to pick up his sister.
Seeing this, Shen Dongli, beside him, snatched the phone from Shen Boyi’s hand.
“Sweetheart, it’s already late tonight. Don’t co back. Just stay in your hotown. Granny Lin is kind to you, and we are grateful. When there’s a chance, Dad will bring the whole family to stay there!”
Shen Dongli spoke gently and softly to his daughter while giving his eldest son a swift kick.
Unobservant brat!
Xiao Wu and President Pei being together was perfect for building their relationship, wasn’t it?
Why co back? It’s just one night! With his eldest son’s emotional intelligence, no wonder he’s still single!
“Xiao Wu, don’t rush. Just have fun at your hotown, take President Pei around to tour, and co back when you’re done playing!”
Shen Dongli happily hung up the phone, ignoring Shen Boyi’s sorrowful and pitiful look.
“Dad, I can arrange for a helicopter to bring Xiao Wu back.”
“Arrange my foot! You go to sleep! What’s wrong with Xiao Wu and President Pei hanging out for a couple of days? It’s a rare occasion that President Pei shows this much care; it shows he values Xiao Wu greatly. I’m relieved by that! If they get married in the future, their relationship will definitely be great!”
Married?!
The word struck Shen Boyi like a bolt from the blue.
His sister was just back ho and already planning marriage?
No way!
Shen Dongli slapped him, “Go, go, go, stop interrupting your sister’s romance!”
Qingwu put away her phone and looked toward Pei Jue beside her.
“There are only two rooms in the house. Uncle Ma said both have been cleaned. Are you really planning to stay here?”
Old Ma carried in dishes as he entered the courtyard and quickly spoke when he heard this, “Oh, miss, I forgot to tell you, the bed in the old lady’s room has been moved because it was gnawed by mice a few days ago, so I took it for repair.”
“The bed in Granny’s room was gnawed? When did that happen?”
“Just a few days ago. After all, the house hasn’t been lived in, and things get broken quickly. The bed in your room was just refurbished last month, so no problem!”
Qingwu furrowed her brow slightly, “If the bed’s broken, we should go back after dinner.”
Old Ma continued, “I dozed off while cooking just now, and I dread of the old lady saying she hoped you’d stay tonight to keep her company. Ah, people do get more dreams as they get older!”
Qingwu: “…”
Dozing off while cooking and coincidentally dreaming of Granny Lin?
Do you believe what you’re saying?
Pei Jue rose to arrange the dishes with Old Ma and softly said, “It’s alright, I’ll just sleep on the floor. Since Granny hoped we’d stay, let’s stay.”
Old Ma winked at Pei Jue and left quickly.
Looking at the way he moved, he wouldn’t have any problem signing up for a senior marathon now, not at all like soone whose health was so frail and advanced that he’d doze off cooking!
In the past few years, Old Ma had even participated in local winter swimming competitions, winning first prize every year.
The dishes on the table were all simple and straightforward, but it was obvious that Old Ma had specifically prepared a chicken to entertain them. The aroma of the rich chicken soup hit them directly, making anyone’s mouth water.
However, Pei Jue had no signs of disdain. He tasted all the dishes carefully before looking at Qingwu.
“Did you eat these things when you were young?”
“Mm, Granny worried I didn’t eat well enough to grow strong, so she cooked very well for every al.”
Probably to make up for the grievance of almost being starved to death by the Qian family parents when she was a child, Grandma Lin took exceptional care raising her.
This small courtyard housed her most beautiful mories, but when she recalled them, her eyes were still full of sorrow.
Pei Jue’s heart ached dully; he reached out to gently stroke Qingwu’s hair.
“I’ll stay by your side from now on; Granny will always be with you too!”
