Two hours later, Xia Yu's fever finally subsided, and the whole family breathed a sigh of relief. He opened his eyes and burst into tears when he saw Qin: "Mom..."
"Yu'er, my Yu'er... I'm sorry, mother is late..." Qin hugged Xia Yu, tears streaming down her face.
Li Sui watched from the side, feeling mixed emotions. His sweetheart was already the mother of three children.
Xia Ruyu came in and said, "Sister-in-law, stop crying. Yu'er just woke up, give him something to eat!"
"Okay, I'll go cook porridge right now." Qin wiped her tears and went to cook porridge.
Xia Ruyu sat down beside the bed, took Xia Yu's hand and said kindly: "Yu'er, do you want to be with your mother or with your grandmother?"
"I want to be with my mother..."
Xia Yu said in a low voice, and the desire in his eyes made Xia Ruyu feel sad.
"Okay, then I won't go back."
"Really?" Xia Yu couldn't believe his ears. "Aunt, can I stay with mom forever?"
Xia Ruyu said: "Yes, I have promised your mother and your elder sister. You can be with them in the future, but you must remember that your last name is Xia!"
"Thank you, auntie." Xia Yu's lips pursed and she started crying again.
Xia Yunyun ran over with her short legs, climbed onto the bed, and stuffed a small piece of candied fruit into Xia Yu's mouth: "Brother, don't cry. Brother, have some candy."
The candied fruit melted, and the sweetness slowly drove away the bitterness in Xia Yu's mouth.
Looking at the way they get along with each other, and then thinking back to Xia Zhenzhen's attitude towards Xia Yu, there is a world of difference. Xia Ruyu sighed.
Qin cooked the porridge, Xia Yu drank half a bowl, and then he gradually became energetic: "Mom, where have you been? I miss you so much."
"Mom is going to get her eyes treated. Don't worry, Yu'er. I will never leave you alone again." Qin said.
"Has mother's eyes been cured?" Xia Yu asked with concern.
Even though he was so sick, he still cared about his mother. Even Xia Ruyu was moved: "Yu'er is such a good child."
"Our Yu'er will be successful in the future." Xia Qianqian said confidently. She is like a little sun, always full of passion for life, and also spreads positive energy to others.
"Yu'er, get some sleep! Mother is here to take care of you. The doctor is at home, so you don't have to be afraid." Qin took off her shoes and socks, went to bed and hugged Xia Yu.
Xia Yu snuggled into Qin's arms, closed his eyes peacefully and fell asleep.
…
Because Xia Ruyu and Li Sui were at home, she cut a few slices of bacon and fried a plate of fragrant dry-pot dried bean slices for everyone to eat with the porridge.
Xia Ruyu and Li Sui were not particular and ate whatever was available.
After dinner, Xia Qianqian cleaned up her own room and let Xia Ruyu stay there temporarily. But there were only two bedrooms in the house, so where should Li Sui sleep
Xia Ruyu was grateful to him for saving Yu'er's life, so she gave her bedroom to Li Sui and slept on the floor in Qin's room.
They all overlooked one point: it was inappropriate for Li Sui, a man from another place, to live in their home.
Xia Dinghai and Song quietly crouched outside the door, peeking at the scene inside. When they got home, they complained to old man Xia: "Dad, don't worry, Xia Yu is fine. The eldest sister-in-law may have been patient and brought back a man who can treat the disease."
"What man?" Old man Xia's face changed instantly.
Xia Dinghai said: "Maybe he is a doctor. His accent sounds like he is from another place."
"The doctor should leave after seeing the patient. How can Qin let him live at home?" Old man Xia shouted, his face flushed red, as if he had been cuckolded.
