Chapter 38 The wisteria hairpin from Xiaofu
When she returned to the workshop in the evening, Li Manman was holding a few books in her hands, looking lonely.
He Yi saw her appearance and asked curiously: "Manman, what's wrong with you?"
"Grandpa Nie is leaving City A for another place tomorrow, and I can't go to the hospital to see him anymore." Li Manman said in a deep voice.
Although she had known that this moment would come, when the day finally came, Li Manman realized that she was not that strong and was still reluctant to let go.
He Yi touched her head and said with a smile: "This is the first time I realize that Manman likes Doctor Nie so much. Does Manman want to be a doctor in the future?"
"Of course," Li Manman answered without hesitation, "I will become a doctor."
It's not about wanting to be, but about becoming.
She has already planned her future and is waiting to realize it.
"Okay, then Mom will wait and see the day when Manman becomes a doctor."
He Yi squatted down and held the person in his arms.
Her hands had tiny cracks from learning bamboo weaving, so when she touched Li Manman's hair, she didn't feel comfortable, but instead felt a stinging sensation.
But she still didn't stop, just like when she was a child.
He Yi never doubted that Manman would become her pride.
As for school matters, He Yi understood them and she also had some ideas.
She can ask for help from Mr. Wu, her biological father and Manman's grandfather.
Children's education is the most important thing, and I'm sure he would agree.
Li Manman didn’t know what she was thinking now. If she knew, she would definitely not enjoy the peace so much.
Li Manman placed the books in the bamboo weaving workshop, along with the notebook she used to take notes while reading.
After bringing him back to the Wu family, Li Manman always felt uneasy.
That Mrs. Xia is a lunatic. If she comes to cause trouble and accidentally damages these books, Li Manman will definitely be very distressed.
Books that carry knowledge are the most precious things.
*
A few days passed and everything was calm.
Li Manman goes out as usual every day and stays in the guest room when she comes back.
In the blink of an eye, she had already lived in the Wu family for more than half a month.
In another half month, I would go to the capital to attend the 60th birthday party of Mr. Wu.
Liu Ya had something to do today, so the workshop was closed for a day. Li Manman and He Yi decided to take a day off. Otherwise, they would be exhausted from going out early and coming back late every day regardless of the weather.
Li Manman didn't want to stay in the room all day, so she simply found a place to lie down and rest, enjoying a moment of quietness.
As the breeze blew, Li Manman became more and more drowsy, almost drowning in the silence.
But before she had been lying down for long, she heard the chattering of Aunt Li.
Li Manman opened her eyes, her eyes filled with resentment.
What? You won't even let me rest properly now?
Li Manman simply sat up. She really wanted to know what Aunt Li was going to say today.
"Mrs. Xia is leaving? When?"
"This afternoon, they said they found a Chinese medicine doctor for Young Master Xia and wanted to take someone to see him."
"Why wasn't there any news before? This is too sudden."
"The Chinese medicine doctor I just contacted this morning has to leave in the afternoon, so time is really tight."
"I don't know if Young Master Xia's body can handle it. This is a bit too ridiculous."
"Okay, just stop talking. He is the young master of the Xia family after all, and he has nothing to do with us."
The voices of the two people gradually faded away, and no one noticed that Li Manman was there.
Mrs. Xia is leaving?
Li Manman touched her chin and couldn't help feeling a little curious.
Fine.
In that case, should I go over and take a look?
After thinking about it, Li Manman gave up again.
Forget it. Mrs. Xia doesn't like her, so she might as well avoid getting into trouble.
After being disturbed by Li Ma, Li Manman lost her sleepiness. She stood up, brushed off the grass and dust on her butt, and raised her foot to leave.
But she had just taken a step when she met Xiaofu's eyes.
Li Manman was a little embarrassed.
After all, the last time they met was in the hospital cafeteria, and they both knew what the scene was like at that time.
Li Manman originally thought that Xiaofu would definitely stay away from her this time and would just say hello to her at most.
But Xiaofu seemed to break her expectations every time.
Xiaofu ran to Li Manman with his short legs and held the thing in his hand high.
"Sister Manman, this is for you!"
Li Manman looked down and only saw the wisteria hairpin in his hand.
She reached out to take it and said hesitantly: "Is this for me?"
"Well, last time I went shopping with my mom, Xiaofu thought the hairpin was pretty, so I bought it for my sister. Does my sister like it?"
Xiaofu was fiddling with his clothes with his hands, and when Li Manman looked over, he smiled at her.
His look amused Li Manman.
Li Manman was about to ask to return the gift, but Xiaofu spoke first: "Sister, please accept the gift. Xiaofu will be leaving soon, and I don't know when I will be back. Come and play with sister next time I come over!"
Li Manman's eyes became complicated.
next time?
When is the next time?
Perhaps, it will be difficult for them to meet again in the future.
After all, she won't stay in the Wu family forever.
Thinking of this, Li Manman sighed.
"Then, sister will accept Xiaofu's gift. Xiaofu, you must cooperate with the doctor and recover soon."
Li Manman pinned the hairpin in her hair, and under the light, the hairpin showed a crystal clear luster.
Xiaofu smiled widely, "It looks good."
"Well, it looks good."
Li Manman also laughed.
She sent Xiaofu back.
Xiaofu was led forward by the servant, but he still looked back at people from time to time.
He suddenly broke free from the servant's hand and ran towards Li Manman.
The servant was startled by him and hurriedly shouted, "Young Master."
But Xiaofu ignored her and continued running forward.
Li Manman was a little surprised. She took two steps forward and stood in front of Xiaofu.
She squatted down and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiaofu threw himself forward into her arms and said in a muffled voice, "Sister, don't be angry with Xiaofu."
"How could that be? I'm not angry with Xiaofu." Li Manman was a little amused.
"Then why didn't sister come to see Xiaofu for a long time?" Xiaofu raised his head with tears in his eyes, his face full of grievance.
"Because my sister has her own things to do. She is usually very busy and has her own work. She can't always be with Xiaofu."
Li Manman thought about it and decided to reason with the person.
Children should not be spoiled.
"Really? So sister is not angry with Xiaofu?" Xiaofu wiped her tears with her sleeves.
Li Manman couldn't bear to see it, so she took out a tissue and carefully wiped the wound.
"Of course, sister is not angry. Xiaofu is a very good child."
Xiaofu threw himself into her arms again and hugged her tightly.
Li Manman checked the time and reminded, "Xiaofu, it's time for you to go."
Xiaofu was silent for a while, then nodded.
The servant who had been waiting nearby finally came up and took the person away.
