"Good morning, uncle!" Zhao Ying raised her hand to say hello and rubbed flour on her face.
Chen Qing wiped her with a towel: "Why did you get up so early?"
"I'm going to the hospital later to deliver dumplings to Little Fatty." Zhao Ying wiped her face obediently, and then worked hard to squeeze the dumplings.
Grandma praised her: "Better than your uncle."
"My dad is sneaking rhubarb again?" Chen Qing filled a bowl of millet porridge.
The millet was brought over by the second elder yesterday. It is golden and soft, with a layer of rice oil floating on it.
"I got up at about five o'clock." Grandma brought a plate of pickles over, "If I hadn't stopped him, I would have woken you up and gone to the hospital."
Chen Qing coughed twice: "The hospital doesn't let you into the ward until seven o'clock!"
Zhao Ying glanced at Chen Qing. She wanted to say something but was frightened by Chen Qing's eyes. She lowered her head and swallowed the words.
"Xiaoying..." When grandma came into the kitchen, Chen Qing said in a low voice, "Don't let your grandparents know that you can visit the hospital at any time, otherwise they will go there before dawn tomorrow."
Zhao Ying blinked and imitated Chen Qing, lowering her voice and asking, "Why can't you go so early?"
"...because uncle can't get up." Chen Qingcong winked at her.
Zhao Ying covered her mouth and nodded vigorously as if she had discovered a new world: "I won't tell you, uncle can sleep in."
The first one and the second one reached a secret. After Chen Qing finished breakfast, the old man came back with rhubarb.
"Have you eaten?"
Chen Qing knew what he was going to say, so she stood up and put on her coat: "Come on, dad, I'll take you to the hospital."
Sure enough, Chen Xiaopang was still awake when they went there. Wang Cailian took the lunch box from her grandma and said, "Mom, you got up early again, right?"
"I'm used to it." Grandma looked at her daughter-in-law, "Why are you thinner than I looked in the video a few days ago? Did Qingzi bully you?"
Chen Qing looked innocent: "How dare I..."
"Mom, isn't this making Xiaopang anxious?" Wang Cailian helped the old man sit down, "When I found out that he was kidnapped, I felt like dying."
Grandma groaned: "Who says it's not the case! I was scared to death when your dad told me."
The two of them started wiping away tears as they talked. Grandpa kept staring at Fatty Chen, and even took out his arms and legs from the quilt to check if there were any wounds or anything.
"Little Fatty doesn't seem to have lost weight." Grandpa sat down with satisfaction. "The fact that we are able to come back safely this time is due to the good deeds of our old Chen family. If it happens again, it will be too late for you to cry to death."
Chen Qing secretly winked at Wang Cailian. Wang Cailian understood something in her heart and called her dad.
"Actually, the public security in Yanjing is the best." Wang Cailian said with a smile, "What do you think, we always protect the central leaders, right? Haven't you seen the police on Chang'an Street every step of the way!"
"We are also implicated in this incident. To be honest, the kidnappers don't like our family's small amount of money." Wang Cailian said, "They are leaving the richer ones alone, so why are they kidnapping us?"
"But if we go back to our hometown, it will be different." She changed her tone, "When we go back, we should be considered the richest in the area. If someone really wants to kidnap the child, wouldn't that little fat kid become the richest person in the area? Is it the primary goal?”
Grandpa was stunned for a moment by what his daughter-in-law said, but she actually thought it made sense. With such a distraction, the topic got sidetracked. Wang Cailian went to ask her grandma about the situation in her hometown this year, what kind of cows produced milk, and whether the chickens she raised laid many eggs...
"Little Fatty, wake up!" Zhao Ying suddenly shouted.
The two elders immediately gathered around the bed. Fatty Chen looked at them in a daze. After he woke up, he crawled out of the quilt and shouted.
"Master! Milk! When did you come?"
The old man hugged his fat grandson: "Are you going to scare grandpa to death? Don't run around again in the future."
"I'm fine!" Fatty Chen said happily, "I had a great time playing with Tang Cao."
The old man knew that Tang Cao was the kid who had caused Xiaopang's trouble, and he didn't like it very much, but he also knew that it was just to express his anger. Open the bag you brought and take it out while talking.
"Look, I brought them all for you. Stuffed pork sausages, fried cakes..." He took them out and put them back. "Your mother said you can't eat them now. Just take a look and I'll take them home for you." , it will be yours when you get out of the hospital."
Chen Xiaopang's eyes widened: "Grandpa, how could you do this?"
"How am I doing?" the old man said happily, "I'm doing this for your own good."
Then he lowered his voice: "Do you dare to eat it? Aren't you afraid that your mother will beat you?"
"...Afraid." Xiaopang Chen wilted.
Wang Cailian brought some fried dried fruits to Zhao Ying. Zhao Ying looked at Fatty Chen and put them back: "Let's eat them together when Fatty Chen is discharged from the hospital!"
"This child is so cute!" Grandma touched Zhao Ying's little head and asked him to play with Chen Xiaopang. She asked Wang Cailian in a low voice, "How is her mother doing now?"
"I don't know, I haven't contacted her recently." Wang Cailian sighed, "When she left, she said her job was not stable and the place she lived was not suitable for children. I called her a few days ago and no one answered."
Just as she was talking, her phone rang, and Wang Cailian's eyes lit up when she saw the number.
"Hey! Cong Fei?"
As soon as Zhao Ying heard the word Cong Fei, she ran over and stared at Wang Cailian, with tears in her eyes the next second.
"Oh, you should talk to Xiao Ying'er first! She was so happy that she cried." Wang Cailian quickly handed the phone to Zhao Ying, who took it and shouted, "Mom!"
Then he ran to the inner room with his cell phone in hand.
"It's really what you said." Grandma smiled cheerfully.
Wang Cailian saw Fatty Chen peeking into the inner room.
"What are you looking at?"
Chen Xiaopang immediately looked back: "You didn't see anything!"
Wang Cailian twitched her lips and secretly told her grandma that Chen Xiaopang must be afraid that Zhao Ying would be picked up by her mother.
Zhao Ying talked on the phone for half an hour, and then she ran out happily: "Auntie! My mother is coming to pick me up!"
Wow! Chen Xiaopang dropped the toy on the ground.
"Where will I pick you up?" he asked hurriedly, ignoring the toys.
Zhao Ying thought for a while: "Go to... the United States?"
"Hey, Cong Fei..." Wang Cailian took the phone.
After a few minutes, she hung up.
"Xiao Ying'er, mom said she would pick you up during the winter vacation, not now!"
Zhao Ying smiled with bright eyes, obviously really happy: "Yeah! I know, that's also very happy. I can spend the New Year with my mother, she promised me when she left."
Cong Fei didn't call for so long, Zhao Ying thought her mother had forgotten. She was even scared sometimes when she saw abandoned children on TV. Afraid that I will also be abandoned by my mother...
"Your mother said that her temporary job has a nice place to live, and she can take you there to celebrate the New Year. You can come back and continue school after the New Year, because your mother's job will be changed by then."
Wang Cailian nodded happily when she saw Zhao Ying, feeling a little uncomfortable. It's not like she didn't mention that she could help her by asking Cong Fei to come back. But Cong Fei is too strong, she must make a name for herself outside.
"What does your mother do?" Chen Xiaopang felt less uncomfortable when he heard that Zhao Ying was just leaving for the winter vacation and would be back when school started.
Zhao Ying: "My mother is a lawyer! Do you know lawyer?"
"What is a lawyer? Is he the same as the teacher in our school?"
"Of course it's different. Lawyers help police uncles." Zhao Ying actually didn't know what a lawyer was, but that's what her mother told her, so she told Chen Xiaopang.
Chen Xiaopang was in awe. For a child, as long as anything has to do with the police uncle, it is very powerful!
The grandparents stayed until the afternoon before going back. Wang Cailian specifically told them not to come over tomorrow morning.
"The Tang family said they wanted to come and have a look." She told Chen Qing, but Chen Qing was not surprised.
Grandpa was not very happy, thinking that the children in that family were unlucky. Xiaopang was implicated by them now, why did he come again
Then Chen Qing said to his grandfather: "Dad, everyone in the Tang family is an official, so the child's uncle will most likely be the next generation..."
He gave a thumbs up.
"Really...really?" The old man understood instantly.
"Um."
The next day, grandpa not only didn’t come in the morning, but also didn’t come in the afternoon...
"Little Fatty!" Bai Susu and Tang Yao came in with Tang Cao. Wang Cailian saw several bodyguards behind the door.
Chen Qing also pretended to close the door and looked around at the door. There were four bodyguards, two on each side, as if they were standing guard...
"Tang Cao!" Chen Xiaopang knew Tang Cao was coming and started waiting early. When he saw Bai Susu and Tang Yao behind him, they hurriedly pretended to be polite and called uncle and aunt.
"This child looks so happy!" Tang Yao smiled, "I didn't look carefully at him before, but this tiger-headed boy is blessed at first glance."
Wang Cailian and Chen Qing: "Hehehe..."
Otherwise, what kind of expression can I use o(╯□╰)o
As the family of three went, they looked like celebrities on TV, each one more beautiful than the other. Take a look at your own home...
"Sit down, sit down!" Chen Qing stretched out his hand to ask them to sit down. Tang Cao sat alone on the hospital bed and muttered to Xiaopang.
Bai Susu smiled at Wang Cailian: "I know your family's conditions are not bad, so I won't rush to pay for the child's medical expenses."
"It depends on what you said!" Wang Cailian also smiled, "It's not enough for this little money."
"Yes, I understand." Bai Susu said that she didn't want to pay the medical expenses because she felt that the Chen family was not short of money, and she was afraid that others would think, ah, our son suffered such a serious crime, so what do you mean by just paying the medical expenses.
However, what should be there must still be there.
"I won't be polite." Bai Susu nodded to Chen Qing, "Go to Tang Family when you have time. Let's see if there is anything we can work with."
Chen Qing was stunned. He was about to say no, but Wang Cailian touched his arm. He immediately responded and nodded with a smile: "Oh, okay! I will go there when my son is discharged from the hospital. I will trouble Mrs. Tang then."
Bai Susu saw that he was not in a hurry to go immediately and had to wait for the child to be discharged from the hospital. She felt a little more optimistic about the family. Especially Wang Cailian, she is a smart woman, even sharper than Chen Qing in some things...
"Where is your sister?" Tang Cao asked Chen Xiaopang, "Let me see how cute she is."
"She's at home!" Chen Xiaopang asked, "What about your sister?"
"My sister is abroad..."
