Nan Fei squatted by the bed and smiled, "Granny Huo, don't worry, just make yourself at home here at my grandma's place. I'll head into town tomorrow and buy some meaty bones to make a soup, which will help supplement your calcium."
"You dutiful girl, so dutiful. Granny hasn't doted on you in vain."
Zhou Yongxian regained her spirits, had a bowl of millet porridge, and then went to bed.
Nan Fei stayed on guard at the hospital all day, afraid to leave. It wasn't until three in the afternoon that she noticed she hadn't even eaten lunch. Luckily, there was food left for her at home. She moved a small table under the jujube tree in the yard, where the afternoon air was cool, and finally had time to eat.
Jiang Zhuanzhuan and Jiang Yang, each perched on a little stool off to the side, watched her with eager anticipation.
