As expected, the results came out very quickly.
Both of them had successfully pa.s.sed the grade-skipping exam and were directly promoted to the sixth grade from the fourth grade.
Ji Zi’ang had adapted well to junior high school life.
At night, when she got home, she started to talk to her family about what happened in school.
“It’s such a pity that Qi Huanhuan wasn’t a.s.signed to the same cla.s.s as me. However, she’s in the cla.s.s next to mine. If I want to find her, it’s very convenient.”
“Liu Peng was actually a.s.signed to the same cla.s.s as me, and he insisted on sitting at the same table as me. However, his grades were too bad, so the homeroom teacher didn’t let him.”
“Our homeroom teacher is a male, and he’s bald. He doesn’t look as old as Dad, but he doesn’t even have hair.”
“Ji Zi’ang!” Li Xu sternly shouted his name when she heard his words. “You’re not allowed to be rude and you’re not allowed to disrespect your teacher!”
Ji Zi’ang jumped in shock and then replied, “I know, Mom!”
At Li Xu’s interruption, Ji Zi’ang did not dare to talk about school matters anymore. He obediently sat down and waited for dinner.
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of September.
Seeing that National Day was approaching, Li Xu and Zhang Kun were also discussing bringing the children to B City to play.
The children looked forward to it. They didn’t want to disappoint the children.
Moreover, now that they had a car at home, it was indeed more convenient.
However, an unexpected incident disrupted their plan.
w.a.n.g Yuechu was injured.
There was a persimmon tree in the courtyard of the old house.
It was the season for persimmons to ripen.
In previous years, it was always Zhang Jun who climbed up to pick them.
This year, Zhang Jun set up a greenhouse and was very busy.
The children were clamoring for food again, so w.a.n.g Yuechu could only take a ladder and climb up to pick it herself.
Unfortunately, there was no one to hold onto the ladder, so she fell from above.
Although the height was not high, the bones of the elderly were fragile.
In the beginning, w.a.n.g Yuechu didn’t take it seriously. Even if it hurt, she didn’t say anything. She thought she would be fine in a few days and didn’t want to cause trouble for the children.
After Zhang Dali brought water to Zhang Yao, he realized that she was limping.
He lifted her pants and saw that her leg was already swollen.
Zhang Dali quickly called Zhang Jun and Zhang Yao back, and a few of them worked together to send w.a.n.g Yuechu to the hospital.
When Li Xu and Zhang Kun received the news and rushed over, w.a.n.g Yuechu had finished taking X-rays and they were waiting for the results.
As it was the weekend, the couple had brought their children along.
The Moment he saw w.a.n.g Yuechu lying on the bed, Ji Zi’ang pounced on her and asked with heartache, “Grandma, how are you?”
Ji Zi’ang’s mouth was sweet and he made the old woman happy, so w.a.n.g Yuechu usually had nothing to say to him.
Ji Zi’ang’s heart ached when he saw w.a.n.g Yuechu’s state.
w.a.n.g Yuechu’s leg hurt, but seeing the child’s worried look, she could only endure it and said, “It doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t hurt at all!”
Ji Zi’ang held w.a.n.g Yuechu’s hand. “If you’re in pain, pinch my hand as hard as you can. That way, it won’t hurt anymore.”
“It doesn’t hurt at all. Don’t worry.” w.a.n.g Yuechu said with a smile.
After learning the reason for w.a.n.g Yuechu’s injury, Zhang Kun said helplessly, “You’re already so old, yet you’re still climbing trees. Can’t you wait for Zhang Yao to come home in the afternoon before picking them?”
w.a.n.g Yuechu smiled awkwardly and explained, “The ladder isn’t that high. I didn’t expect it to be like this.”
“Don’t you know your own situation? Your legs were not in good condition, to begin with, and they would hurt whenever it rained. Now it’s better, it’s even more painful.”
w.a.n.g Yuechu lowered her head and didn’t speak.
Ji Zi’ang looked at Zhang Kun unhappily. “Daddy, Grandma is already in a lot of pain. Can’t you just say less?”
Li Xu chimed in, “Our mother’s heart is also in pain, so don’t say anything. Go downstairs and see when the X-rays’ result will be out.”
As she spoke, Li Xu winked at Zhang Kun, hinting at him to go downstairs and pay the hospital fees.
Zhang Kun reacted, sighed, and turned to leave.
After a while, Zhang Jun reacted and quickly followed.
Usually, the cost would be shared equally between the two brothers. However, mother fell down because she was picking persimmons for Shuoshuo, so she could not let big brother pay for it.
Seeing the two of them go out, Zhang Yao finally reacted and followed them out.
w.a.n.g Yuechu could tell at a glance that the three people were probably fighting to pay.
“Go and pay the money,” she quickly said to Zhang Dali, “Save the three of them from fighting.”
“Father, Mother, don’t go,” Li Xu said after she finished speaking. “Zhang Kun is the eldest son of the family, so it’s only right that he pay for it.”
w.a.n.g Yuechu sighed and whispered, “What should I do? Your father and 1 can’t help you with anything, so we can’t always spend your money.”
Li Xu consoled her. “Don’t worry, your health is the greatest help you can give us.”
When the nurse saw this scene, she said with some envy, “Big Sister, your children are really filial! Especially this eldest grandson, he’s really close to you. You brought him up, didn’t you?”
w.a.n.g Yuechu grabbed Ji Zi’ang’s hand and smiled proudly. “All though I didn’t bring him up, my eldest grandson is very sensible. He will remember your kindness to him!”
Soon, Zhang Kun came over with the doctor.
The doctor was holding w.a.n.g Yuechu’s X-ray.
Zhang Jun and Zhang Yao came back soon. The three siblings stood in front of the bed and listened carefully to the doctor’s explanation.
w.a.n.g Yuechu had a bone fracture, and it was a serious one.
Considering her old age and slow recovery, the doctor’s suggestion was that it was best to have an operation.
w.a.n.g Yuechu was timid. When she heard that it was surgery, she quickly shook her head. “I’m not doing it, I’m not doing it. It’s just a bone fracture, not a broken one. Just lie down and rest for two days. 1 won’t suffer like this.”
Zhang Kun and his sister tried to persuade her, but w.a.n.g Yuechu insisted on not doing it.
Seeing that the old lady really did not want to do it, the doctor suggested another method.
She could put on a cast first and stay in the hospital for a few days to see how she recovered.
However, there were many things to pay attention to during the hospitalization period.
Don’t sit for too long, don’t get out of bed, and pay attention to wat light food…
The three siblings listened to him attentively, wishing that they could jot it down in their little notebook.
Because she was going to be hospitalized, there were many things she needed to prepare.
So, after the doctor’s instructions, Li Xu and Zhang Kun went to the nearby store to buy some things needed for the hospitalization.
Ji Zi’ang was afraid that w.a.n.g Yuechu would be bored, so he stayed by her side.
Ji Zixuan and Ji Yuanyuan accompanied Li Xu to the store.
“I’ll stay here tonight. It’s the weekend, so you can go home with the kids. Send some food over tomorrow morning. You don’t have to worry about anything else.” Zhang Kun and Li Xu discussed this.
Li Xu and Hu Chunli were planning to open a few more branches recently, so they hired a few people. They weren’t afraid there wouldn’t be people guarding the store..
