When Wan Liu heard what Ruan Yi said, he was silent for a few seconds, and then said helplessly: "Okay, I understand, you kid is really..."
"Thank you." Ruan Yi thanked Wan Liu sincerely.
This time it was really a last resort, otherwise she wouldn't even have said this to Wan Liu.
Ruan Yi originally thought that Wan Liu would arrange for a driver to pick them up, but unexpectedly, in the end, it was Xu Moyan and her who came in person.
Seeing the two of them appearing, Ruan Yi was very surprised and a little embarrassed: "Mom, Dad, it's too troublesome for you."
"We are all a family, what nonsense can you say? Your grandfather's situation is urgent now." Wan Liu took Ruan Yi's hand, "Let's go, take me and your father in for a look first."
Ruan Yi nodded, took Wan Liu and Xu Moyan into the emergency ward, and then met Qinghe without any warning.
Ruan Yi never thought before that they would eventually meet in such an unexpected way.
Qinghe reacted immediately after seeing Wan Liu and Xu Moyan.
She stepped forward and greeted the two of them, "It's Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu, hello two. I've really caused trouble for you."
Wan Liu: "You are too polite. We are a family. Just call us by name."
Wan Liu and Xu Moyan were both low-key. After Xu Moyan briefly said hello to Qinghe, he looked at the hospital bed: "Ruijin's ambulance is downstairs. Let's take the old man there first."
With the help of the Xu family and the help of Wan Liu and Xu Moyan, Ruan Yi's grandfather had been transferred from the cramped and noisy emergency ward of the small hospital to the VIP ward of Ruijin Hospital in just over an hour.
Not only that, Xu Moyan also arranged for an attending doctor for the old man. Less than twenty minutes after he was admitted to the hospital, the doctor had already come to inquire about the family's condition.
After chatting with the doctor, Qinghe went to thank Wan Liu and Xu Moyan again.
Xu Moyan: "You're welcome. Wan Liu and I have not visited for so long. We are rude."
Wan Liu stayed in the ward for a week and asked, "Is your mother still at home?"
Qinghe: "Yeah."
Wan Liu: "Is it okay for the old lady to stay home alone? Otherwise, take her to live with me for a while during this period. I usually have nothing to do."
Qinghe never expected Wan Liu to say this, and looked at Ruan Yi in surprise.
Ruan Yi was also surprised, but he quickly came to his senses: "No, Mom, I can just take care of grandpa. Let my mom go back to take care of grandma. I happen to be on winter vacation recently and have no other arrangements."
Wan Liu was very aware of Ruan Yi's character of not causing trouble to others, and also knew that he could not persuade her, so he finally nodded and said, "If you need any help, please tell me at home at any time."
Ruan Yi was very moved when he heard this: "Okay, thank you, Mom."
After talking to Wan Liu, Ruan Yi looked back at the haggard Qinghe and said, "Mom, you go back to accompany grandma first, and take a good rest by the way. I'll guard the hospital."
Qinghe hesitated and thought for a while, then nodded. It was really difficult for another old man to feel at ease when he was alone at home. It was best to go back and tell her that he was safe.
Wan Liu happened to hear this, and she volunteered: "I'll see you off. It's so cold outside that it's hard to take a taxi."
Qinghe went to see Ruan Yi as usual and followed her arrangements.
Ruan Yi nodded and agreed, and then sent the three elders into the elevator.
——
Wan Liu and Xu Moyan get along better than Qinghe imagined.
After Ruan Yi married into the Xu family, Qinghe was most worried about her being wronged in the Xu family.
Although Ruan Yi often said how well the two elders of the Xu family treated her, Qinghe always felt that it meant reporting good things but not bad things. It wasn't until she saw it with her own eyes today that she was sure that Ruan Yi's words were true.
Even worse.
When getting in the car, Qinghe sat in the back seat as a habit. Wan Liu, who was supposed to sit in the passenger seat, also sat in the back seat with her.
Xu Moyan drove the car himself in the front row, which can be said to be full of sincerity.
Xu Moyan: "Which community does your family live in?"
Qinghe: "Liang'an District Three."
After Xu Moyan heard the name of the community, his eyes changed slightly, but it was not too obvious. He responded and started the car.
Mother and daughter Qinghe and Ruan Yi have very similar temperaments, and neither of them is good at actively looking for topics.
Wan Liu felt that Ruan Yi was the replica of her since he saw Qing He in the hospital, so he was looking for topics to chat with her all the way.
Although Qinghe will respond, he has a good sense of scale and is very polite.
Cars drive slowly in snowy weather, and the journey time almost doubles.
Wan Liu was slightly surprised when the car stopped at the entrance of the old community.
She didn't expect that Qinghe and two elderly people would live here.
Xu Moyan: "Which building does your family live in? I'll take you in."
Qinghe was about to get off the car, but after hearing what Xu Moyan said, he had no choice but to give his building number.
Wan Liu glanced at the time and saw that it was already past noon. Then he smiled and asked, "Do you mind if we go up to have a meal?"
Qinghe: "I don't mind."
She smiled a little apologetically, "I was so flustered today that I forgot about this matter. I hope you two can bear with me."
A few minutes later, Qinghe entered the unit building with Wan Liu and Xu Moyan.
There is no elevator in the old community, and the corridor space is also very cramped.
Xu Moyan and Wan Liu had not been to such an old community for many years. They were both surprised inwardly, but they did not show it in front of Qinghe.
"You guys probably haven't climbed into the elevator for a long time." Qinghe said with a smile, "My home is relatively simple, so I'm causing trouble for you."
Although she was talking about the simplicity of her home, her tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and there was no hint of inferiority.
Wan Liu is now finally sure that Ruan Yi's temperament was inherited from Qing He.
The area of the home is indeed not large, but everything is neat and decorated with ordinary decoration, which makes it feel like home.
When the old lady saw Qinghe coming back with someone, she was stunned for a moment, and then she guessed their identities.
At this time, Qinghe also opened his mouth to introduce them——
"Mom, these are Yiyi's parents-in-law. They helped arrange Dad's hospitalization this time."
The old lady was about to bow to the two of them, "I really caused trouble to you——"
"Auntie, what are you doing!" Wan Liu immediately stopped the old lady's movement, "When Yiyi married into our Xu family, we are a family. Don't be so polite as a family. This is what we should do."
——
This afternoon, the hospital had a batch of new equipment to be delivered, and Xu Siyan went to Ruijin in person to supervise it after his lunch break.
When he went to the office, Xu Siyan heard about Xu Moyan and Wan Liu bringing the old man to the hospital.
He frowned subconsciously: "What old man?"
The staff of the equipment department said: "I don't know who it is, but it seems to be in the neurology department. It is said that he fell and suffered a cerebral infarction?"
Xu Siyan: "Which ward do you live in?"
"V003."
Xu Siyan turned around and walked straight to the hospital area.
Most of the nurses in the hospital knew him, and he almost came to the door of the ward without any hindrance.
Just as Xu Siyan stopped, the door opened.
That's how he met Ruan Yi.
