There was finally a trace of warmth in the house, and everyone’s mood relaxed a little.
Although Liu Guihua was still in the hospital, they still had to live their life. Zhang Kun and Qin Xiaomin were the main cooks.
Qin Xiaomin wasn’t too busy these few years and had learned a few recipes from Li Yong.
She had a few specialty dishes.
As for the others, they would help out if they were free.
Before seven o’clock, the New Year’s Eve dinner was ready.
Qin Xiaomin found a lunch box and came out. Li Xu and Li Miao packed some dishes and carried them to the hospital.
There had to be people in the hospital. The four siblings, including Liu Guihua, had a reunion.
As for the rest, they were reunited at home.
Tangtang had been hungry for more than a day. When she saw the table full of dishes, she couldn’t hold back her saliva, and it dripped down.
Ji Yuanyuan took a tissue and wiped her face again and again.
However, she still could not eat too much.
Although the fasting period had pa.s.sed, the time was too short.
Ji Yuanyuan gave Tangtang a taste of each dish to satisfy her craving.
Even though Tangtang was still pestering Ji Yuanyuan to eat more, Ji Yuanyuan was very principled in this regard.
No matter how hard Tangtang begged, she would not agree.
Seeing that Ji Yuanyuan was being pestered, Qin Mucheng put down his chopsticks. “Daddy will accompany you to watch the fireworks, okay?” At this time, the sound of fireworks had already begun to ring out outside. Tangtang’s eyes lit up. She extended her hand to Qin Mucheng. “Okay, let’s watch the fireworks.”
When Li Nian heard this, he quickly got up and brought Tangtang’s clothes over.
When Qin Mucheng put on his coat, Li Nian carefully helped Tangtang put on her coat.
Tangtang stared at Li Nian eagerly.
After putting on her clothes, Li Nian looked up and realized the little girl’s burning gaze.
The corners of his lips twitched. “What’s wrong?”
Tangtang blinked. “Uncle, forget what I said this afternoon.”
Li Nian was taken aback by her words. “Huh? What words?”
Tangtang’s eyes were a little evasive. “I said I don’t like you anymore.” “Oh?” Li Nian dragged out his voice. “That means you like me now, right?” Tangtang didn’t say anything. She turned around to take a look.
When she saw that Qin Mucheng had already put on his clothes, she turned around and pounced on him.
Qin Mucheng bent over and lifted Tangtang up by her armpit.
After the father and daughter walked out of the house, Li Nian sat down beside Li Xiang.
He elbowed Li Xiang’s arm happily. “Sis, did you hear that? Tangtang said she likes me.”
Li Xiang held back her laughter and nodded. “As long as you don’t bad mouth her, she will like you even more.”
Li Nian rubbed his head and chuckled.
The fireworks outside rose and fell one after another. Tangtang stared at them intently.
B City had banned fireworks in recent years, so it was rare to see such a beautiful scene there.
Ji Yuanyuan ate her meal in peace, occasionally turning back to look at the father and daughter outside.
The Spring Festival Gala was playing on the television.
For a moment, everyone seemed to have forgotten about the hospital and enjoyed this rare reunion.
At this moment, Qin Xiaomin’s phone on the TV cabinet suddenly rang.
Qin Xiaomin was far away. It was a little inconvenient. She instructed Li Nian.
“Pa.s.s me my phone. It might be your grandparents.”
Li Nian obediently got up and went to get Qin Xiaomin’s phone.
When he got it, his expression froze.
A moment later, he handed the phone over anxiously. “It’s Dad. Is Grandma…” Qin Xiaomin was also stunned.
She quickly picked up the call.
Qin Xiaomin picked up the phone. She didn’t know what Li Yong said on the other end of the phone, but Qin Xiaomin’s expression became even stiffer.
A few seconds later, Qin Xiaomin took the phone away from her ear.
She looked around and said, “Mom’s awake.”
The people at the dining table became restless.
“Hurry up and put on your clothes. We’re going to the hospital now,” said
Zhang Kun hurriedly.
Today was New Year’s Eve.
If the old lady could see so many family members, she would definitely be in a better mood.
If she were in a good mood, her illness would recover faster.
Everyone began to put on their clothes, and the house was in a mess.
“What’s wrong?” Qin Mucheng was a little puzzled when Ji Yuanyuan got dressed and went out with the car keys.
“Grandmother is awake,” Ji Yuanyuan said. “Let’s go to the hospital now.”
Qin Mucheng’s expression turned serious. He took Ji Yuanyuan’s car keys and placed Tangtang in her arms.
When they arrived, Li Xiang and Li Nian were in Qin Mucheng’s car.
The two children were very excited and kept urging Qin Mucheng to hurry up.
It took less than 20 minutes to get to the county hospital from home.
On the eve of the New Year, there were not many people on the road, so Qin Mucheng drove very fast all the way.
In about ten minutes, the car arrived at the hospital’s parking lot.
Qin Xiaomin and Ji Zixuan arrived at the same time.
The group of people entered the hospital.
There were still people on duty in the on-call room on the first floor.
In front of the elevator, there were also people waiting for the elevator.
There was a couple. The man had a hunched back, and the woman was carrying a few dishes.
He was also a poor person who spent the New Year in the hospital.
Ji Yuanyuan carried the child and walked in the middle of the crowd, so she did not see the couple at first.
She only saw it when she was right in front of him.
However, it was already too late.
When the couple heard the sound, they had already returned to the country.
It was Ji Jianguo and his wife.
Ji Jianguo’s expression was very defeated at the beginning.
When he saw Li Miao, his eyes widened.
Although they had not seen each other for almost 20 years, Li Miao’s appearance had hardly changed.
Ji Jianguo recognized this ex-sister-in-law almost immediately.
His lips trembled as he pointed at Li Miao. “You…”
His wife patted his hand impatiently. “Do you know her?”
Ji Jianguo did not say anything. His gaze moved away from Li Miao, and he looked around the crowd.
When he saw Zhang Kun, his gaze paused for a few seconds as if he did not dare to recognize him.
Twenty years ago, he and Zhang Kun had only met him two or three times.
Zhang Kun has changed a lot over the years, especially after that illness.
Ji Jianguo’s expression became even more excited when he saw Ji Zixuan.
Ji Zixuan looked a little like him when he was younger.
He knew that this child was his son.
He took a step forward and said, “Zixuan, you’re Zixuan…”
He wanted to go up and shake his hand.
However, before he could step forward, Gong Wenbai and Zhang Kun stepped forward and blocked his path.
“Move aside, he is my son…” Ji Jianguo said with trembling lips.
The woman next to him widened her eyes and looked around the group of people with a pair of greedy eyes..
