Chapter 56: Wang Xiulan, the Unmotivated

After seeing Zhang Xingwang coming to watch the fun, Yi Zhonghai no longer paid any attention to the second uncle, but turned around and waved at Zhang Xingwang.

Waiting for Zhang Xingwang to come over slowly, he frowned and spoke sternly.

"Xingwang, I have something to say to you. I heard that your family has been eating fish lately and you didn't even think of sending a bowl to the deaf old lady. Didn't you say you agreed to this at the last general meeting?"

Seeing that there were so many people here, Zhang Xingwang did not refute. He just shrugged and said, "I know."

As for whether to send it or not, it really has to be sent, and it has to be sent tomorrow. It is a good opportunity to test whether the old lady wants to move to a new environment.

The next morning, after breakfast, the mother and her two children rode their bicycles to the hospital to visit their cousin.

When I entered the ward, I saw my cousin, under the care of his sister-in-law, leisurely sitting with his legs crossed and drinking porridge.

When she looked up and saw Zhang Xingwang and his mother and son coming in, her face turned green. She probably still had her lower body exposed, so she hurriedly covered it up, blushing and stammering as she asked:

"Auntie, why are you here?"

After the little girl came in, she tilted her head and looked at her cousin's strange posture curiously. Then she pulled Zhang Xingwang's arm and asked in a baby voice:

"Brother, did my cousin wet the bed?"

After my younger sister finished speaking, the ward became quiet instantly, and my sister-in-law laughed so hard that the porridge in her hand spilled out.

My cousin's face changed from red to white, and from white to blue. His expression changed as fast as turning pages of a book.

The mother was at a loss for words. She pointed her finger at the little girl's head and said in a reproachful tone:

"What nonsense! Your cousin is an adult and he still wets the bed. Your cousin is just injured."

Finally, my sister-in-law couldn't help herself, she put down the bowl in her hand, covered her mouth and ran out quickly. Then there was a goose cry in the corridor.

Zhang Xingwang was about to laugh out loud, but then he realized that his cousin was looking at him viciously, and then he said with a look of collapse:

"It's all your fault. I've lost my reputation for more than 20 years just by following you for two days."

Zhang Xingwang didn't respond, thinking to himself that you met me too late.

Then he hurriedly stopped the little girl who was curious and was about to secretly look at her cousin's wound.

Mother Wang Xiulan also walked over and cleaned up the porridge that had spilled on the bed, and then the few of them started chatting amidst the cousin's look of despair.

After chatting for a while, Zhang Xingwang didn't notice that his cousin's face was getting uglier and uglier.

He began to feel anxious and uneasy, and his eyes seemed to be conveying some implicit message to Zhang Xingwang.

Zhang Xingwang didn't even look up at him at this moment, he was still concentrating on playing with his little sister.

The cousin was heartbroken when he saw that Zhang Xingwang didn't even raise his head and could only look at his chattering aunt with a forced smile on his face.

He turned his head resignedly and whispered to Zhang Xingwang with a painful look:

"Xingwang, take my aunt and the little girl out for a while, and call your sister-in-law for me, I have something urgent to ask her."

"Are you feeling unwell? How about asking Xingwang to call a doctor?"

Before Zhang Xinwang could answer, his mother said with a worried look on her face.

At this time, my cousin's lips were trembling a little, beads of sweat slowly seeped out of his forehead, and he said quickly with a grin:

"Please help call your sister-in-law."

After hearing this, mother Wang Xiulan frowned, looked at her cousin who had a sad face, and suddenly realized what was going on, and spoke quickly.

"Auntie saw that you were alright, so she went back first. Wait, I'll go call your wife right away."

After saying that, he called out to Zhang Xingwang, who had just reacted, and hurried out the door with the little girl who looked reluctant.

I found my sister-in-law taking a nap on the chair in the aisle.

The mother quickly came over, whispered a few words in his ear with a smile, and they said goodbye to each other and prepared to go back.

I saw the smile on my sister-in-law's face getting wider and wider. She couldn't help laughing and walked quickly to the ward. Then the suppressed goose-like cry was heard from the ward again.

Zhang Xingwang and his mother went to see Dr. Qin to inquire about his cousin's condition. They learned that his cousin was fine and would be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, so they prepared to go home.

After leaving the hospital, the mother and son smiled at each other. Zhang Xingwang estimated that after this treatment, his cousin's psychological endurance and ability to respond on the spot would be greatly improved. He hoped that there would be no psychological trauma left.

The little girl was full of curiosity as she looked at the two people who were bent over with laughter. She thought that her mother Wang Xiulan must be lying to her and that her cousin must have wet the bed!

On the way back by bike, the three of them passed by a bookstore. Zhang Xingwang looked at it and suddenly felt like joy had fallen from heaven. He had been busy delivering express packages recently and had no idea how he had forgotten about this.

He dragged the mother and daughter inside, searched for a long time, and finally found a family cookbook for only 22 cents.

When I saw this book, I immediately felt that the good days I had expected had come. I handed it to my mother Wang Xiulan as if it were a treasure, and said flatteringly:

"Mom, take a look at this book when you have time. If you don't understand something, ask Shazhu and I'll explain it to him later."

Mother Wang Xiulan flipped it open and took a look, curled her lips, and replied perfunctorily:

"This is a recipe, right? Do you mind that my cooking is not tasty? Your sisters said it's pretty good.

Besides, it’s useless for you to give me this, I can’t even read a few words.”

Zhang Xingwang felt tired after hearing this. It seemed that his mother Wang Xiulan was quite satisfied with her cooking skills and had no intention of improving them.

The problem is that he has taken care of all the food, clothing and other expenses for the family. If he still has to do the begging, then he is even busier than Spider-Man.

Why would he travel through time? Delivering food is easier than this. And in the future, he can cook, but he is alone, so he usually orders takeout.

When I reward myself, I usually go out to eat. Even if I occasionally cook a meal at home, I always use "stew meat seasoning packets" or "spicy tofu seasoning" and so on.

He probably knew the process, but the problem was that he was at a loss without the ingredients, and the taste of the food he made would probably be worse than Fourth Sister's.

Thinking of this, I felt that my mother had no ambition. So I said to her eloquently:

"I'm worried that you won't be idle at home. It's simple if you don't know how to read. Your fourth sister can read to you. Just think about it, when your eldest sister and second sister get married, there will be more people in the family. During the holidays, you can prepare a table full of delicious food. That scene will be amazing."

"You just know how to make mom happy and prepare a table of food. Don't you know what day it is now?"

Having said that, Wang Xiulan still agreed reluctantly.

Zhang Xingwang searched the bookstore for a long time but couldn't find the book about hunting he wanted, so he turned and walked to the indifferent salesperson.

I asked the salesperson if he had any books about hunting, and the salesperson scratched his head impatiently and thought for a while.

He took out a brand new book, "Biology of Forest Birds and Animals", from the bookshelf at the door and said it was the only one he had.

Zhang Xingwang took it and flipped through it, and found that there was something else inside, the principles of hunting and safari, and there were illustrations, but this book was much more expensive than the cookbook, priced at one dollar and one ten-thousand.

After taking a quick look, Zhang Tuhao nodded casually and said this was it.

After taking the books and paying the bill, the three of them rode their bicycles home at a leisurely pace.

It was almost noon when I returned to the yard. As soon as I entered the gate, I saw a group of people gathered in front of the Chang family's house, making a lot of noise.
