"Pregnant?" Li He turned around. "Who told you that?"
Dong Hao said, "I saw it at the hospital. Zhang Shulin told me himself. He was so happy that he wanted to treat me to a meal."
"That's good. It looks like his wife's illness is gone."
On one hand, he was happy for Zhang Shulin. After all, it was not easy for Zhang Shulin to have a son in his middle age. He could smell the faint smell of Chinese medicine when he went to the Zhang house twice. On the other hand, he was worried for his daughter. Zhang Shulin and his wife would probably pay less attention to her now that she had her own child.
Dong Hao asked, "Should I send someone to keep an eye on her?"
"No need. We'll talk about it later." Li He thought that he was worrying too much. He could feel that Zhang Shulin and his wife were sincere about their daughter. "You went to the hospital. How was the checkup?"
"Now that my wife is here, she's watching me all day. I can't eat meat or drink alcohol. I only get cabbages and potatoes every day. She even forces me to eat fruits." Dong Hao rubbed his stomach helplessly. "My blood pressure has gone down, but I've lost a lot of weight."
Li He asked, "Sister-in-law and the child are doing well?" "Poor.
Dong Hao smiled bitterly. "My son is studying in Jiamusi University. He's quite obedient, but my daughter isn't so easy to please. She's only in high school. The day before yesterday, she hid in the toilet at home to smoke, and I gave her a good beating." "My son is studying at Jiamusi University. He's quite obedient, but my daughter isn't so easy to serve. She's only in high school. The day before yesterday, she hid in the toilet at home to smoke, and I gave her a good beating."
"Children are hard to control." Li He agreed. "You should set an example and quit smoking."
"I can only try my best." Dong Hao sighed. "At my age, I have to quit. I went to the hospital to get an X-ray. My lungs were all black. The doctor said it was because of the accumulation of smoke and dust. It scared me so much that I couldn't take it anymore. I only had one cigarette in my mouth. I admire you for quitting just like that."
Li He raised the cigarette in his hand and said, "Look, I smoke occasionally when I'm worried. But it's good enough to smoke two cigarettes a month."
He had quit smoking quite thoroughly.
"Then I'm leaving." After Dong Hao finished talking to Li He, he walked up to Qiu Liang, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Come visit me often when you're free."
The two of them avoided talking to Qiu Liang.
Qiu Liang said, "Brother Dong, take care."
He was raised by Dong Hao, so it was not an exaggeration to say that Dong Hao was his benefactor. Naturally, he was deeply grateful and respectful to Dong Hao.
In the evening, when He Fang returned home, he specifically asked about Wang Hui.
"That's good. It's really not easy for her to be alone." He Fang glared at his daughter as he spoke. Only then did Li Yi obediently jump off the sofa, leaving a trail of footprints on the sofa.
"She's lost a lot of weight," Li He said. "She's so pitiful. I asked her, but she still doesn't want to get married."
"We have crow's feet at our age. Time and tide wait for no man." He Fang sighed and said, "Actually, there's one thing that we agree on. She and I have the same temperament. We're determined not to make do.
If I hadn't met you, I would never have thought that I would get married in this lifetime. "
"I don't even know what you like about me. I'll change, okay?"
"Are you showing off?" He Fang pulled his ear.
"Woman, you turn against me so easily?" Li He cried out in pain. "I'm wrong, I'm wrong."
"Go and pick her up from the hospital tomorrow." Seeing that Li He had admitted defeat, He Fang finally let go.
"Aren't you two sworn enemies?" Li He asked with a smile. "Why are you suddenly so concerned about her?"
He Fang said, "We're just at loggerheads. We both have the same temperament. Who can be convinced by the other? We can't be good friends, but we're not enemies. "
In the past, the two of them liked to compete in everything. But after many years, she became the winner, and she felt that she could be more magnanimous.
Li He cupped his hands and said, "I have to obey my wife's orders."
He Fang thought for a moment and said, "Ask her if she's willing to stay at our house for a few days. She's just recovered from her illness. How can she take care of her body if she has to eat alone at home?"
"Then I'll ask. It'll be better if she's willing to come." Li He nodded.
The next morning, after sending the two children to school, he went to the hospital.
Wang Hui was dressed neatly and was busy packing her things. She was holding a basin in her hand, but she couldn't put it down.
"Throw it away. The basin in the hospital isn't good."
"You scared me." Wang Hui patted her chest. "You have so much free time?"
Sure enough, she followed Li He's advice and threw the basin on the floor.
"There's still time to pick you up from the hospital." Li He smiled and helped her put some fruits into the bag next to him. "Have you done the discharge procedures?"
"Can you help me?" She handed the medical records and some receipts to Li He.
"It's not a big deal. Wait here." Li He took the things and went downstairs. After waiting for a few minutes at the discharge window, all the procedures were done.
"That's pretty fast." Wang Hui was already standing behind her with a big bag in her hand.
"Give it to me quickly." Li He grabbed the big bag and gave her the receipts and change in his other hand. "Keep it safe."
"Thank you." She put the things into the small bag in her arms. "Where's your car? Take me back. I'll treat you to lunch. "
Li He said as he walked, "He Fang wants you to stay at our place for a while. It's not convenient for you to go home alone. You'll get better faster if someone takes care of you."
"It's good for me to be free. If I go to your house, I might have to be your nanny. You're lazy, and your wife works hard as the principal. It'll be good if she can get off work at six o 'clock." Wang Hui refused without hesitation.
"Get in the car." Li He put the things in the trunk and opened the door for her. "Show me the way. Your house is being renovated. I can't even recognize it."
"Yeah. The changes in the past few years are getting bigger. The roads are getting wider and the buildings are getting taller." After the car left the hospital, Wang Hui said, "Turn left and take the Second Ring Road."
Li He nodded his head in agreement.
It was the morning rush hour. There was a lot of traffic on the road, so the car couldn't go fast.
After entering the neighborhood, Li He carried the big bag and walked in front. Wang Hui followed behind.
"There's a restaurant next to the neighborhood. It's very good. I go there often. I'll take you there later."
"Look at the time. It's not even nine o 'clock." Li He smiled. "It's still a long time before lunch."
Wang Hui said, "You can eat whenever you want. Why do you have to wait for lunch?"
When they went upstairs, Li He stood aside and waited for Wang Hui to open the door.
The room wasn't big. It was less than 50 square meters. This was the type of apartment in this old neighborhood.
"Come in. You don't have to take off your shoes. I don't have slippers for you at home."
