Chapter 15 Little Drenched Chicken
Zhao Meimei was especially popular in the hospital ward, where the patients in the five beds were all suffering from old-age diseases. As people age, they tend to feel lonely and crave excitement, so they love having cheerful children around, smiling and playing, which brings a lively atmosphere.
Zhao Meimei was talkative and not shy, calling everyone in the room grandpa or grandma with a sweet tongue, like it was coated in honey. She wandered from bed to bed, ending up with a pocketful of snacks and treats.
Liu Xiue saw that Zhao Meimei was staying in the ward and noticed that Mrs. Zhao Senior was clearly in a good mood. She decided not to rush home, staying with Zhao Meimei until it was nearly dark before she packed up and headed home, leaving Zhao Dazhuang at the hospital for overnight care.
Before Liu Xiue left, she was full of worry, instructing Zhao Meimei for a while, and then finally, with frequent looks back, led Zhao Meimei out of the hospital.
Liu Xiue had been exhausted all day at the hospital and was too tired to move once she got home. She just wanted to lie in bed and rest properly.
"Mom, you go upstairs first. I'll go call Brother Yangyang for dinner." Zhao Meimei happily let go of her mom's hand and intended to run towards the small building.
Only then did Liu Xiue remember the arrangement to invite Shi Yang over and hastily called Zhao Meimei, "Slow down, no rush. I haven't even entered the house to prepare the meal yet."
Zhao Meimei waved her hand and dashed away quickly.
As Zhao Meimei reached the road in front of the small building, she saw that the iron gate of the yard was wide open. She felt pleased, thinking that her Brother Yangyang had purposely opened the gate early, waiting for her to come call him.
