Time passed day by day, and Lin Xiaojie's illness still made no progress. It had been three months, and there was no movement.
Pei Donglai was used to it. He returned to the hospital on time after get off work every day to take care of Lin Xiaojie. Pei Donglai couldn't bear to look at his exhausted mother.
"Mom, you and my dad should go back. I don't know if Xiaojie can wake up. I'll hire a good nurse then. I'll come over after get off work. I can handle it."
"Donglai, what are you talking about? Xiaojie is still my daughter-in-law, and I have the obligation to take care of her. What kind of caregiver did you hire? Do you think I am an outsider?"
Since coming to Jiangcheng, Pei Donglai has found that his mother has changed a lot. She takes care of Lin Xiaojie wholeheartedly every day without a single complaint.
Later, Pei's mother took out the bank card that Lin Xiaojie had given her and said, "Dong Lai, I know that Xiaojie spent a lot of money on her illness. You can take it. Your father and I have retirement wages, so life is not a problem." ".
"Mom, this is what Xiaojie gave you for your retirement. I can't take it unless she agrees."
"How can she agree to it now? Aren't you talking nonsense?"
In the evening, Heizi brought Xiaoyu to the hospital and said, "Donglai, I see you have a hard time taking care of your sister-in-law. Xiaoyu has nothing to do here, so let her help."
Xiaoyu also said: "Donglai, I don't have much to do in Jiangcheng right now. I'm bored with my free time. I'm here to help my aunt and take care of my sister-in-law."
"No, Heizi, I won't accept it, so don't lie to me. You have business in Jiangcheng, how can Xiaoyu be okay?"
No matter what Heizi tried to persuade, Pei Donglai refused to allow Xiaoyu to come and take care of Lin Xiaojie.
"Okay, I have one more thing to do here. My brother has found Liu Sibei. He is in Chengdu. Let's go there if we have time."
"Well, okay, tomorrow is the weekend, let's go there."
The next day, Pei Donglai, Li Yunfeng and Heizi flew to Chengdu.
Arriving at the hotel, Heizi's brother Xiao Wang reported: "Brother Hui, we didn't have much idea at first. Chengdu is so big, it's really difficult to find someone you don't know. We two brothers were bored that day, so we were looking for some fun. , the boss told us that there were student girls, so I asked the boss to introduce me and Xiao Zhang, but unexpectedly, the person who received Xiao Zhang was Liu Sibei."
"Look at how good things happen to both of you even when you do bad things, Xiao Zhang, how are you so sure that the student girl is Liu Sibei?"
"Brother Hui, when she came in, I felt that her eyes looked very much like Liu Dagen's, so I got close to her. After looking for her several times in a row, I figured out her name, which was Liu Sibei."
"Ask her out quickly."
Xiao Zhang sent a message to Liu Sibei: Baby, I miss you. I’ll send you my location. Come over.
Liu Sibei: Didn’t we just get together yesterday? If you are so strong, is it because you took medicine?
Heizi became a little impatient and said, "Please answer the phone first, don't be annoying."
"Brother Hui, she won't come if you call her. You can only contact me through WeChat."
"Well, it seems that everything has moved online now."
Xiao Zhang continued to send messages: I eat all kinds of large animals every day to make up for the heat, so just come over and I'll pay the toll.
Liu Sibei: No, my relatives are here. Let me introduce you to another sister.
"Brother Hui, her aunt is here, she has to wait for at least a few days."
Pei Donglai: "Try asking her out for dinner."
Xiao Zhang: "They do that thing first when they come out. They don't know how to do anything else. Let me give it a try."
Xiao Zhang sent another text message, but Liu Sibei still didn't want to come out.
Li Yunfeng: "She is in that school, let's go see if we can keep her there?"
Pei Donglai: "Just wait a few days. It's better not to alert the snake. Xiao Zhang, in order not to arouse her suspicion, I suggest you ask her sister out."
"I think what Brother Pei said is very reasonable and far-sighted. If she doesn't ask her sister out, she will...".
Xiao Zhang was interrupted by Heizi, "Okay, don't make so many excuses and talk so high-minded, make an appointment as soon as possible."
Xiao Zhang said excitedly: "Brother Hui, this is not my initiative. Do you brothers want to ask her to call her more sisters?"
Heizi: "Get out of here, if you try again I will sew your mouth."
"Donglai, Yunfeng, let's go and open the room again."
"Xiao Wang, why don't you leave and wait to watch the show?" Heizi said.
"Can't we act together?" Xiao Wang complained as he walked.
"The taste is really strong."
After opening the room, Heizi said: "Come from the east, Yunfeng. Once you come, let's make peace. Let's go eat rabbit heads to prove that we have been to Chengdu."
Heizi brought Pei Donglai and Li Yunfeng to Qingtai Road. Heizi said: "In Chengdu, there are many places to eat rabbit heads. They are all over the streets. Each family boasts that their rabbit heads are the most authentic. I have eaten them before. There are many restaurants, and this one, Lao Ma Tu Tou, is the most suitable."
"Heizi, you are quite familiar with Chengdu," Li Yunfeng said.
“I used to wander around everywhere, basically I’ve been to many cities across the country.”
"This store is considered the originator of Shuangliu Rabbit Head. It has been open for more than 30 years. Many people from all over the country come here because of its reputation. It is said that this store can sell hundreds of millions of rabbit heads a year. There are many branches in Chengdu. , this is the main store," Heizi introduced.
Heizi ordered spicy and five-spice flavors and said, "These two flavors of rabbit head are the most classic in Sichuan cuisine."
Pei Donglai and Li Yunfeng had never eaten rabbit heads before, and they looked a little strange. After taking the first bite, they were both impressed by the taste. It was so delicious.
The rabbit head is stewed in aged soup over a low heat. It has no fishy smell at all and is very fragrant, but a little spicy.
The spiced rabbit head is not that spicy, but it feels like it lacks some flavor.
In addition to rabbit heads, Heizi also ordered the special dishes here, including maocai, braised vegetables, stir-fried vegetables, etc.
"What is maocai?" Li Yunfeng was confused.
"Maocai is to cook cauliflower, lotus root, potatoes, and duck intestines with the soup from the rabbit's head."
Several people ate and raved about it.
After eating, Pei Donglai said: "Such delicious food, I must bring it to Zixuan, Xiaoran and Xiaoyu when I go back."
"That's necessary. Let's do some errands first, and then we can order takeout and have it delivered when we leave quickly."
After eating, Heizi rented a car and took Pei Donglai and Li Yunfeng to play around Chengdu. They were waiting to go back anyway, so why not take the opportunity to have fun.
In the evening, the three returned to the city.
"How about arranging Chongqing hot pot tonight?" Heizi asked.
"Pairing Chongqing hot pot with beer is the most basic respect for summer," Pei Donglai received.
"You two make arrangements, and I'll be responsible for eating."
Here in Chengdu, there are also more hot pots in Chongqing. Li Yunfeng can't understand that people here have to go to the air conditioner to eat hot pot that makes people feel hot on a hot day.
Pei Donglai and Heizi are also considered southerners and have been accustomed to this way of eating since childhood.
In the evening, the three brothers got very drunk and stumbled back to the hotel.
