BXBX NOVEL Chapter 851 - 851: Not A Child Anymore
Ji Yuanyuan retracted her gaze, took off her shoes and coat, and got under the covers.
She had stayed up all night and worried all night. She was indeed mentally and physically exhausted.
When she lay down, Qin Xiaomin reminded her, “It’s useless for the two children to go. They’ll only cause trouble. Don’t go in the afternoon. Rest at home. It’s so cold now. Don’t catch a cold.”
Ji Yuanyuan closed her eyes and whispered, “They’re not kids anymore. They’re both very sensible. They won’t cause trouble. Instead of letting them think nonsense at home, it’s better to bring them to take a look.”
Qin Xiaomin sighed and didn’t say anything else.
Ji Yuanyuan closed her eyes and fell asleep shortly after.
When she woke up again, it was already past one in the afternoon.
Tangtang had disappeared from her arms, and Ji Yuanyuan’s heart skipped a beat.
However, she quickly realized that she was at her grandmother’s house. There were so many people at home. She probably went down to play.
She turned over. Li Xu and Qin Xiaomin were still asleep in the seat beside her. Li Miao had already disappeared.
Ji Yuanyuan was relieved that Li Miao was probably playing with Tangtang.
She lay on the brick bed and stared blankly at the ceiling.
Tangtang deliberately lowered her voice from the living room.
“When the earth collapses, and the mountains collapse, the strong men die, and then the stairway and stone stacks connect. There is a high mark of six dragons turning back to the sun above, and there is a river turning back to the tide below…”
Clearly, this little fellow was showing off again.
The kindergarten only taught some relatively simple poems, and Cheng Shuqin taught “The Road of Shu” at home.
Cheng Shuqin didn’t have much hope when she taught her, so she just taught her casually.
To everyone’s surprise, Tangtang had memorized the poem from beginning to end after learning it for about a week.
The pronunciation of each word was exact.
In any case, she was better at memorizing poems than Ji Yuanyuan. She had almost forgotten all about it after not memorizing poems for so many years.
Tangtang quickly finished reciting, and applause followed.
“Wow, Tangtang, you’re so amazing.” Li Nian’s voice was a little exaggerated.
“Shush, Uncle, lower your voice. My mother is still sleeping.” Tangtang said in a low voice. There was some dissatisfaction in her small voice.
“I’m sorry, I forgot.” Li Nian lowered his voice.
Ji Yuanyuan listened to the conversation between the two of them and curled her lips in satisfaction.
She didn’t dote on this little fellow for nothing. Now, she knew how to dote on her mother.
She turned her head to take a look. Li Xu and Qin Xiaomin were still sleeping soundly.
She sat up and got up gently.
In the living room, Tangtang was in Li Xiang’s arms, wrapped in a thick black and white blanket.
Only the little guy’s head was exposed, and her little face was full of pride.
Li Nian sat beside her and looked at her with a smile.
Mumu sat next to Li Nian, eating snacks with relish.
Tangtang was the first to see Ji Yuanyuan. Her eyes lit up. “Mom, you’re awake?”
When the little guy was excited, her voice was inevitably a little high.
“Hush,” Ji Yuanyuan mimicked her. “Grandma and Grandaunt are still sleeping.”
Tangtang blinked her eyes and stretched her small hands out from the blanket to cover her mouth.
“Good,” Ji Yuanyuan nodded with a smile. “We have to speak softly.”
“Sis, Auntie made lunch for us. We’ve already eaten. Do you want to eat it? I’ll heat it up for you now.” Li Xiang quickly asked.
Ji Yuanyuan rubbed her stomach. “I’m not hungry yet. Let’s eat together when they wake up.”
Li Xiang nodded shyly but still looked at Ji Yuanyuan.
Li Nian also looked at her expectantly.
Ji Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment before she reacted.
She had promised Li Xiang and Li Nian in the morning that she would bring them to the hospital to visit Grandma in the afternoon.
She looked around but did not see Li Miao.
She looked at Li Xiang. “Where did your Litle Aunt go?”
“She’s in that room. She’s been in there for a while.” Li Nian pointed at another room.
That was Grandma’s room.
Ji Yuanyuan walked over and knocked on the door.
“Come in.” Li Miao’s voice was a little muffled.
Ji Yuanyuan pushed the door open. Li Miao stood in front of the cabinet with her back facing the door.
On the cabinet were photos of her grandparents.
Seeing her grandfather’s face in the photo, Ji Yuanyuan felt a little upset.
She took a deep breath and said in a low voice, “Aunty, I’m taking Li Xiang and Li Nian to the hospital. Can you help me take care of Tangtang for a while?”
Li Miao had probably not sorted out her expression yet. Her back was still facing Ji Yuanyuan. “It’s okay. You go ahead. I’ll watch her.”
Ji Yuanyuan hesitated for a moment but did not say anything else. She took the lead and walked out of the room.
She took Tangtang from Li Xiang’s arms and discussed it with her. “Mommy will go out for a while. You stay at home and be good with Uncle Mumu, okay?”
Since last night, Tangtang had not been alone with her.
Therefore, when she heard that Ji Yuanyuan was going out again, her eyes widened instantly. Her small hands tightly grabbed the corner of Ji Yuanyuan’s clothes. “Bring me along too. Can’t I?”
“It’s too cold outside. Be good at home. Mommy will be back soon. Do you want to eat roasted sweet potatoes? Mommy will bring one for you, okay?” Ji Yuanyuan coaxed her.
At this moment, Li Miao had already packed up and came out of the room.
“Tangtang, come here. Let Grandaunt carry you.” She stretched out her hand to Tangtang.
Tangtang stared at Ji Yuanyuan’s face. Seeing that Ji Yuanyuan had no intention of compromising, she reluctantly went into Li Miao’s arms.
“Mom, you have to keep your word. You have to come back early.” Tangtang hugged Li Miao’s neck and did not forget to remind her.
“Understood.” Ji Yuanyuan nodded.
Then, she looked at Li Xiang and Li Nian. “Hurry up and pack up. We’re going to the hospital.”
Li Nian jumped up from the sofa happily. “I’ve already packed up. I just need to wear a coat.”
Compared to Li Nian, Li Xiang was much more mature. She slowly got up and whispered, “Me too. I’m all packed.”
“Let’s go then.” Ji Yuanyuan smiled.
She took her coat from the hanger in the living room.
On the way to the hospital, the two children were silent.
Ji Yuanyuan looked at the rearview mirror and saw that the two of them were very synchronized, clasping their hands nervously.
These two children had practically grown up in front of their grandmother and had a profound relationship with her.
When they arrived at the hospital, Li Xiang stood outside the ICU and looked at his grandmother inside. Tears immediately fell from his eyes.
Li Nian was more reserved than Li Xiang, but her eyes were still red.
The adults were still a little afraid of places like the hospital. They did not want their children to stay in the hospital for too long.
Therefore, they stayed in the hospital for less than half an hour before Li Lei urged them to leave.
“The doctor said that your grandmother’s condition has stabilized. You should stay at home obediently. I don’t have time to care about you now.” Li Lei reminded Li Xiang.
“Dad, don’t worry. I won’t run around.” Li Xiang nodded. “You have to take care of your health and eat on time..”
