Chapter 623: Accompanying
That evening, Huang Xiaochuan sat by his aunt's bedside, and before he knew it, he was overcome with sleepiness and fell asleep on the bed.
In the middle of the night, my aunt woke up and looked around blankly. She found herself in the hospital and then saw someone lying next to her bed. After looking at him carefully, she realized that the person was Huang Xiaochuan.
His aunt was worried about waking him, so she didn't say anything and just quietly watched Huang Xiaochuan.
This is the child she raised herself. Although he is not her biological son, he is closer to her than her own. Time flies! In the blink of an eye, he has grown up so much and is so successful. Most importantly, he is also very filial. Looking at Huang Xiaochuan sleeping by her bedside, her aunt couldn't help but feel a little emotional, but more than that, she felt proud and gratified.
Huang Xiaochuan vaguely sensed that his aunt seemed to be stirring. He raised his head and looked at the hospital bed with sleepy eyes. By the dim light coming in from the corridor, Huang Xiaochuan found that his aunt had woken up. He immediately grabbed her hand and breathed a long sigh of relief.
He immediately stood up and called out, "Nurse, nurse, the patient is awake!"
Upon hearing the cries, the nurse called the night shift doctor, who rushed over and examined the aunt.
"The patient's condition is currently stable; continued observation is sufficient." After conducting a thorough examination, the on-duty doctor reassured Huang Xiaochuan.
After the doctor and nurses left, my aunt, though still a little weak, asked, "Why did you come back?"
"You were in the hospital, how could I not come back! I'm so glad you're alright, you really scared me to death." In front of his aunt, Huang Xiaochuan seemed to become the child he once was.
"Oh, it's alright, I'm perfectly fine now!" Auntie tried to pretend that nothing was wrong.
"You call this nothing?" Huang Xiaochuan said self-reproachfully, "It's all my fault. I didn't think to give you a full medical check-up, otherwise things wouldn't be like this now."
"It's alright now. It's normal to get sick when you're old," Auntie comforted Huang Xiaochuan.
Huang Xiaochuan patted his aunt's hand: "Alright! Alright! You lie down and rest, don't talk anymore. We can talk about it slowly when you're discharged and back home!"
Aunt felt particularly gratified. After giving Huang Xiaochuan a loving look, she closed her eyes again.
Just after six o'clock in the morning, the eldest sister, Zeng Hong, arrived at the hospital with some cooked porridge and snacks.
She gently patted Huang Xiaochuan, who was dozing off. Huang Xiaochuan woke up with a start and saw that it was his older sister Zeng Hong. He then looked at his watch.
She asked softly, "Why did you come so early? You could have come later."
Zeng Hong replied softly, "You've been up all night, go home and take a shower and rest. Don't forget to eat breakfast, okay?"
Huang Xiaochuan nodded: "Understood!"
Zeng Hong then asked, "How is Mom?"
Huang Xiaochuan glanced at his aunt, who was still in the hospital bed, and said softly, "She woke up last night. I had the doctor come to see her, and he said she was fine and just needed to be observed."
Zeng Hong put down what she was holding and urged Huang Xiaochuan to go back quickly.
"Alright, leave this to me. You go back and eat something, understand?"
"Got it!" Huang Xiaochuan waved his hand.
Seeing that his aunt's condition had stabilized, Huang Xiaochuan left the hospital and went directly to his parents' house.
On the way, Huang Xiaochuan made a phone call home to let them know in advance. When he got home, breakfast was already laid out on the table.
Upon seeing her son, Zeng Lijuan quickly invited him to sit down and eat breakfast. After Huang Xiaochuan picked up his bowl, she asked him, "How is your aunt?"
Hearing the commotion, the old lady came out of her room. Huang Xiaochuan put down his chopsticks and went to help her up. "Grandma, I'll have breakfast with you."
"I've already eaten. I'm old and wake up early. Don't worry about me, go and eat something. You didn't sleep well last night, did you?" The old lady pushed Huang Xiaochuan's hand away.
"I'm fine, I even slept for a while last night." Seeing his grandmother's firm attitude, Huang Xiaochuan let go of her hand and returned to the table to continue eating breakfast.
Grandma, Lao Huang, and Zeng Lijuan were sitting next to him, the four of them chatting casually.
"Why did you come back alone?" Zeng Lijuan asked, not seeing her daughter-in-law and grandchildren.
After swallowing a Nanxiang steamed bun, Huang Xiaochuan said, "I left in a hurry and didn't wait for them. The three of them are coming back today, and they should be on the plane by now." Gao Song had already informed him about Yu Xiang and the two children's itinerary, so Huang Xiaochuan knew about it.
After finishing the last sip of soy milk, Huang Xiaochuan took two tissues and wiped his mouth.
"Once my aunt is discharged from the hospital, I'll take you all for a thorough check-up this time, a very careful one."
Old Huang was a little annoyed by the trouble and waved his hand, saying, "No need for that. Your aunt's condition is quite rare. Just take your grandmother to get checked out. Your mother and I are both in very good health."
Huang Xiaochuan's attitude towards this issue was firm: "It's just a comprehensive physical examination. If any problems are found, they can be dealt with in time. Wouldn't it be even better if there were no problems? This matter is settled, and I have already made the arrangements."
Huang Xiaochuan's attitude towards this issue was firm: "It's just a comprehensive physical examination. If any problems are found, they can be dealt with in time. Wouldn't it be even better if there were no problems? This matter is settled, and I have already made the arrangements."
Zeng Lijuan glared at Lao Huang with dissatisfaction: "You! You don't take anything seriously. You have to listen to our son on this matter."
Seeing that his opinion was in the minority, Lao Huang had no choice but to agree.
Not long after, Huang Xiaochuan's sister-in-law Jiang Rong arrived with Huang Zemian.
Upon seeing her eldest daughter-in-law and grandson, Zeng Lijuan quickly stood up to greet them.
Have you had breakfast yet?
"Mom, we've already eaten!" Jiang Rong then greeted the others, "Grandma! Dad! Xiao Chuan, you're back!"
Huang Zemian also greeted the elders politely.
At this moment, Zeng Lijuan asked, "What are you doing here so early today?"
"I brought Huang Zemian here, and then I wanted to go to the hospital to see my aunt and see if there's anything I can help with," Jiang Rong explained her purpose.
"Sister-in-law, you don't need to go to the hospital for now. Aunt's condition is stable. The main thing now is for her to rest. Your older sister can stay with her at the hospital," Huang Xiaochuan said, persuading his sister-in-law, Jiang Rong.
At this point, Zeng Lijuan also advised Jiang Rong, "Why don't you go in a few days? Let your aunt rest and recuperate properly in the next few days."
Jiang Rong glanced at her parents-in-law and brother-in-law, and agreed: "Okay, I'll go in two days."
Seeing that his sister-in-law had arrived, Huang Xiaochuan told her about his thoughts on Huang Zeji and Huang Ruiying's schooling, since the key district primary school where his sister-in-law Jiang Rong was located was a good choice.
"Mom and Dad, now that my sister-in-law is here, I have something to tell you. Yu Xiang and I feel that the educational environment in Hong Kong is not suitable for our two children, so I plan to have Xiaodong and Xiaoduo study in Shanghai."
Grandparents Huang Xiaochuan and Zeng Lijuan naturally wholeheartedly supported Huang Xiaochuan's idea.
Upon hearing her brother-in-law's words, Jiang Rong understood: "Why don't you just go to our school! I have two extra spots for each school every year, and I'll save them for Xiaodong and Xiaoduo next year."
Zeng Lijuan shared the same thought. In her opinion, it would be best if her grandchildren could go to her eldest daughter-in-law's school, at least with family members watching over them, which would put her at ease. After all, it wouldn't be appropriate to bring bodyguards to school.
Although Huang Xiaochuan shared the same thought, he didn't immediately accept his sister-in-law's offer. Instead, he said, "Let's discuss this together when Yu Xiang returns before making a decision!"
After hearing Huang Xiaochuan's words, the others also felt that it made sense. After all, Yu Xiang was the biological mother of the two children, and perhaps Yu Xiang herself had her own thoughts on this matter.
Let's leave this topic for now. We can discuss everything after Yu Xiang returns with the two children, since they won't be old enough to start school until next year.
Just as the family was discussing the two children's schooling, Jiang Bixing called Gao Song's cell phone.
Without any empty pleasantries, Jiang Bixing went straight to the point: "Assistant Gao, is something wrong at the chairman's home?"
