However, Lao Liang figured that there was still hope. After all, it was just a district hospital. The doctors or facilities were incomparable with the hospital in B City.
“Can we transfer her to the hospital in B City? Our home is in B City and it’ll be more convenient to receive treatment there,” asked Lao Liang.
There was no mention of Lao Liang’s distrust in the district hospital.
Moreover, Lao Liang could not make arbitrary decisions since he was not one of their family members. It was better to leave the decision making to the Chang family, thus, it was safer to transfer both of them to the hospital in B City.
On top of that, the doctor understood the situation too. The doctors would still refer the patients from villages to tertiary referral hospitals when the district hospital lacked facilities to treat their diseases. The doctors’ experiences and facilities in the district hospital were simply inferior to those Class Three Grade A Hospitals 1 in the cities. This was the truth and there was nothing to be unhappy about it.
“No problem, we’ll immobilize the fracture temporarily so that she can reach the hospital in B City without further injury,” the doctor answered.
…
…
Qi Chenglin and Ruan Danchen went straight to the Qi family manor after they were done enjoying their honeymoon. They were fetched by Xiao Fan, who was instructed by Grandfather Qi, directly from the airport.
Grandmother Qi pulled Ruan Danchen over and examined her carefully from head to toe the moment she stepped into the house. After noticing Ruan Danchen’s ruddy complexion and chubbiness, Grandmother Qi relaxed immediately.
“How’s the trip? Are you tired?” Grandmother Qi was worried about Ruan Danchen since her pregnancy was still in the early trimester.
“He brought me on a holiday. We slept in at the hotel every day before departing to our destinations by car. He would insist on resting after a short while of walking before going for food and drinks afterward,” Ruan Danchen squeezed her own cheek.
“I feel like my cheeks are getting chubbier even though I don’t see much changes when I look into the mirror every day.”
Grandmother Qi was exhilarated after listening to Ruan Danchen. “That’s right! It’s better to be chubby!”
“…” Ruan Danchen squeezed her cheeks again before shifting her gaze to Qi Chenglin. There was something fishy going on with Qi Chenglin forcing food down her throat to fatten her up and it was not completely due to her pregnancy too.
Ruan Danchen could feel a conspiracy going on for some inexplicable reason, but the mystery remained unsolved even after racking her brain for quite some time.
However, Ruan Danchen figured the conspiracy theory was just her imagination after looking at Qi Chenglin’s calm and honest expression.
Qi Chenglin raised his eyebrows curiously after Ruan Danchen fixed her gaze on him for quite some time.
“By the way, where’s Youxuan?” Ruan Danchen noticed that the living room was way too quiet. Not only was the kid nowhere to be seen, even Little Youjin, who was supposed to be the kid’s companion, was absent too.
“They’re taking a nap in the room. Judging by the time, they should wake up anytime soon. You guys just got back so you have to get adequate rest. I’ll ask Aunt Liu to cook Fried Pork in Scoop tonight,” Xia Wenna answered.
Ruan Danchen swallowed her saliva with a loud slurp and sat together with Qi Chenglin on the sofa. “Great, I miss home-cooked meals. The architecture in Europe is splendid and it has an awesome environment. It was a very good experience to sum it up, but I wasn’t used to their taste in food and drinks. Now I feel full whenever I smell the scent of bread and pizzas. I won’t have an appetite even if I’m famished because all of them have almost the same taste.”
“The food that I craved the most when we were in Europe was instant noodles, but it was a pity that I couldn’t eat it yet.” While caressing her abdomen, Ruan Danchen figured that her sense of taste had deteriorated.
“Young lady, you can have as much food as you want tonight,” Xia Wenna replied as she had no idea how to react appropriately after listening to Ruan Danchen.
While Ruan Danchen was distributing the souvenirs she purchased in Europe to the family members, a clear and melodious sound of a child traveled to her ears. “Mom, mom, where’s mine? What did you buy for me? Is it chocolate? Cheese? German sausage? Pork knuckle?”
Ruan Danchen took out a box and answered, “I brought chocolate for you. There are various kinds in the box, but you’re not allowed to eat so many at a time.”
“Youjin’s still asleep?” asked Xia Wenna.
Then, they heard a thunderous cry of a baby.
“Well, he knows somebody misses him, so he’s awake now,” Song Yu replied and proceeded to carry Little Youjin out of the room.
Ruan Danchen was frozen to the spot. They had been away for only ten days, what in the world did Little Youjin go through during this period?
“What have you done to your little brother?” The corner of Qi Chenglin’s eyes twitched uncontrollably due to shock too.
Little Youjin had gotten so chubby in merely ten days!
A delicate pinkish baby had turned out to be a huge dango!
Even a pig would not grow so fast by force-feeding!
“Nothing. I just want to share delicious food with my little brother.” The kid’s response sounded especially innocent and pure. There was absolutely no way that he would admit his intention to fatten his little brother.
“My little brother’s too greedy! He’ll look at me immediately whenever I start eating my dessert, and he’ll just keep on staring at me or start crying until I share my food with him. He’s so scary!
His drooling saliva can be very long when that happens too!” The kid gestured with his hands and continued, “He seems to have some sort of superpowers too. He’ll wake up immediately from his nap the moment I start having my food.”
“…” Qi Chengzhi was at the end of his forbearance and replied, “He won’t wake up if you stop eating food with strong aroma right beside him on purpose.”
This brat fed his son with malevolence!
Since this brat was growing chubby, he disallowed his little brother to be more handsome than him. Such an evil-minded boy!
Little Youjin was getting a little too heavy for Song Yu to carry comfortably at the moment.
Little Youjin stared curiously at the beautifully decorated boxes of different sizes on the coffee table and waved his chubby arms restlessly as he reached out to them excitedly.
Song Yu was almost drenched in sweat and quickly placed Little Youjin on the carpet out of worry that the burden may slip from her arms accidentally.
The short-limbed Little Youjin crawled toward the coffee table, propped himself up with his elbows and stood up with his chubby hands supporting the edge of the coffee table. His eyes lit up brightly at the sight of those exquisitely designed boxes on the table.
“Ah! Ooh-ooh, ah-ah! Ooh-ah!”‘Food! Was there any delicious food? Feed me, quickly!’
“We bought some food which is suitable for Youjin’s current age such as rice noodles and fruit-flavored nutrition powder for kids,” Ruan Danchen said and then pointed at one of the bags beside the table which was full of food products. “We bought formulated milk powder for both Chengyue and my future babies too. It’s preparation in advance.”
Little Youjin seemed to have understood Ruan Danchen’s statement. He released his grip on the coffee table and stumbled forward, falling on all fours onto the carpet.
However, safety precautions had been implemented to prevent possible injuries to children, not only for Little Youjin but also for the future baby in Qi Chengyue’s womb.
All the Qi family members had replaced their original carpets with thicker and softer carpets. The Qi family manor, both Xia Wenna and Guan Liya’s houses, and even Qi Chengyue, Song Yu, and Ruan Danchen’s houses had implemented the same method too.
Thus, Little Youjin did not feel pain at all after falling down or perhaps he ignored the pain when there was delicious food right in front of him. With his chubby limbs, he crawled swiftly toward the bag, pushed it down and took the boxes of different sizes out of the bag.
Brightly-colored and attractive food designs adorned the boxes of baby food products. Little Youjin’s eyes lit up and his saliva streamed onto the boxes uncontrollably, making a few wet stains on them.
“Ah-ah-ah-ah!”‘Hungry!’
Little Youjin took one of the smaller boxes into his embosom, which appeared especially big in comparison with his small size. The box basically blocked all of him except for his limbs and small head. Fortunately, it contained powdery products only, so it was not heavy at all.
Then, Little Youjin tapped the box and waved his hands with joy. “Ah-ah-ah!”‘Hungry. Fed me!’
Obviously, Qi Youxuan had formed an intimate friendship with his little brother after these ten days. Most of the time, the adults would not understand Little Youjin’s babbling but Qi Youxuan could understand him perfectly.
Thus, the kid moved to Little Youjin’s side and pointed at the pink-colored box in his embrace. “Aunt, Youjin’s hungry.”
“…” Song Yu was left speechless.
Normally, her son would not feel hungry. Her son’s huge appetite was all thanks to her nephew!
However, Song Yu must feed Youjin since he was hungry.
No one could understand her sorrow.
The gaze Song Yu gave Ruan Danchen was full of sadness and seemed to convey a message. ‘Look at your son’s work. My son has almost become a pig after your son’s persistent feeding.’
Ruan Danchen coughed awkwardly and turned around to look at Qi Chenglin for help.
Qi Chenglin merely replied Song Yu seriously, “Youjin is hungry.”
“…” Song Yu was at a loss for words.
Song Yu had no choice but to take a bowl from the kitchen and open the box in Youjin’s embrace. Then, she took out a packet and poured the powder and hot water into the bowl before mixing them into a thick and fragrant paste.
Song Yu turned around to look at Youjin again, whose saliva burst forth like water from a dam.
“It’s too hot right now. I’ll feed you once it cools down,” Song Yu said grudgingly.
