Chapter 7

Seeing their looks, Jiang Chao’s face turned dark and red. The black was due to his dark skin, and the red was due to his embarrassment and shame.

“You can laugh if you want.” Jiang Chao said in self-abandonment.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Zhishu and others couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Jiang Yingying was trying so hard to hold back her laughter that saline solution overflowed from the corners of her eyes. She wiped the corners of her eyes with her hands while pressing down on her stomach which was aching from laughing.

“Hahaha, Dad, you’re so funny.”

“Ha, ouch, I laughed so hard that my stomach hurt…” Xu Zhishu laughed, “I can’t take it anymore, I have to sit on the chair, haha…”

Jiang Chao looked at them with a resentful look for a long time and saw that their laughter not only showed no signs of stopping, but instead showed signs of becoming more and more rampant.

He pursed his lips, and the tall man huddled on the bed looking aggrieved.

“You guys can stop laughing now…” Jiang Chao said pitifully, “I’m a grown man, I still have to maintain some dignity.”

Xu Zhishu was laughing so hard that she was out of breath, and she put her hands on her waist. “No, why didn’t you tell us earlier about your butt pain?”

“I’m embarrassed,” Jiang Chao pursed his lips and said, “and I didn’t have a chance to tell us. Every time I said I wanted to get out of bed and walk around, you and Yangyang watched me so closely, as if you wanted me to stay in bed all day…”

Xu Zhishu felt a little guilty. She turned her eyes away and said unreasonably, “Well, you didn’t tell me that your butt was uncomfortable lying in bed. Besides, you were injured so seriously this time. The doctor said you had to rest, move less, and stay in bed!”

“Stay in bed, stay in bed, do you understand?!”

Jiang Yang nodded frequently, nodding his little head very vigorously.

Jiang Chao couldn’t bear to say anything to Jiang Yingying who was laughing secretly beside him. Jiang Chao also couldn’t bear to say anything to his wife who was so self-righteous.

In this case, the only person he could talk to was the brat in front of him who nodded in agreement.

“Why are you nodding? Do you know what bed rest means?”

Jiang Yang paused, hid behind Xu Zhishu and Jiang Yingying, and stuck out his tongue at Jiang Chao who was lying on the bed.

“I don’t know what it means, but I just need to listen to my mother.”

Xu Zhishu gave Jiang Yang an approving look, “Well, not bad, you are worthy of being our Yangyang.” She glared at Jiang Chao who was trying to intimidate Jiang Yang, “Okay, you are such a grown-up, and you still try to scare a child.”

Jiang Chao became obedient after being glared at like that.

“Well, well,” Xu Zhishu said a little awkwardly, “Are you still feeling uncomfortable now?”

She said, “How about I help you stand?”

Jiang Chao’s face turned even redder.

If there was a thermometer at this moment, Jiang Yingying thought, the temperature on Jiang Chao’s face would probably be off the charts.

For a long time, Xu Zhishu didn’t wait for Jiang Chao’s answer.

She frowned and said, “What’s wrong, grown man, don’t be so shy.” She clicked her tongue lightly, her eyebrows raised. “You are not making up an excuse to fool us, are you? It’s actually the wounds on your body…”

“No,” Jiang Chao said immediately, “How could I lie to you? Everything I said is true.”

Seeing this, Jiang Yingying patted Jiang Yang’s shoulder gently and gestured for him to go out.

Jiang Yang nodded slightly, and the aunt and nephew held hands and quietly walked out of the ward without them noticing.

Seeing that there were only the couple left in the ward, Jiang Chao said coquettishly, “Wife, you know me, I would never lie to you.”

“Who knows you? No, take off your clothes, I’d rather see it with my own eyes to feel more at ease.”

“Wife, this is not good…”

“Take it off, if you don’t, I’ll do it…”

“Hey, wife, door, door, lock the door first…”

“You’re a grown man, and you’re hesitating…”

…

Jiang Yingying and Jiang Yang walked a little further away, so they didn’t hear the sound coming from the ward behind them.

She and Jiang Yang looked at each other and both laughed out loud.

As he laughed, Jiang Yang reached out and covered his belly.

“Aunt, I’m hungry.”

Jiang Yang is at an age when he easily gets hungry. Jiang Chao was hospitalized for surgery a few days ago, and Xu Zhishu couldn’t take care of him. The child was also sensible and followed Xu Zhishu around busily.

Yesterday, the aunt who was supposed to come didn’t show up, and Jiang Chao and others panicked, not caring about Jiang Yang at all.

Come to think of it, he hadn’t had a proper meal for several days.

The dinner he just had with Jiang Chao and others in the ward was the most satisfying meal he had had in the past few days, but he was hungry again.

Hearing the child say that she was hungry, Jiang Yingying touched the money in her pocket that Jiang Chao and his wife had given her during dinner, and she made a gesture.

Walk!

Jiang Yang happily took her hand and they walked towards the hospital cafeteria.

We arrived too late and had missed dinner time. Although the hospital cafeteria prepared midnight snacks for medical staff on the night shift, it was too early as it was not yet time.

Seeing the child’s somewhat discouraged expression, Jiang Yingying thought for a moment and gestured to the staff in the cafeteria.

Fortunately, although the communication process was a bit difficult, the result was still happy.

Jiang Yingying used a food coupon to win a chance to cook with ingredients from the cafeteria. Of course, expensive ingredients could not be used, and neither could too many ingredients.

There aren’t many ingredients in the cafeteria, most of them are ordinary ingredients.

Jiang Yingying thought about it and decided to make hand-rolled noodles.

Master Cai from the cafeteria saw Jiang Yingying rolling the noodles and said, “It looks like you have real skills,” “Comrade Jiang, this skill looks very experienced.”

When the hand-rolled noodles were ready, not only was Jiang Yang who was standing by the side dazzled by the fragrance, but Master Cai and others who stayed in the cafeteria were also amazed.

“It smells so good!”

“Not bad, Comrade Xiao Jiang’s cooking skills are really good.”

Jiang Yingying smiled at them and served two bowls. There was still some food in the pot, so she served a few more bowls and placed them in front of Master Cai and the others.

“Comrade Xiao Jiang, this is not good. You gave them food coupons.”

Jiang Yingying waved her hand and pressed her throat. At this time, she hated the two human traffickers again. They made her unable to speak.

Jiang Yang looked at Jiang Yingying, then at Master Cai and the others. “Uncle, aunt, my aunt made extra noodles, let’s eat together.”

Jiang Yingying invited them to eat noodles, and she was not being falsely generous.

She and Jiang Yang were cooking their own meals here, using their own land and ingredients. Although they had given him food coupons, Jiang Chao was still staying in the hospital. She was afraid that he would inevitably come here to disturb him, so she decided to show her goodwill first.

Besides, she was not stupid. There were only three people in the kitchen, besides Master Cai, one was his apprentice and the other was his aunt who was helping out.

Jiang Yingying didn’t leave much noodles, just half a small bowl per person at most.
