Song Tan's Notes

It's hard not to be happy when you're with Qiaoqiao.

So much so that Song Tan felt incredibly happy even when she saw him off at the door.

Looking at him in the passenger seat, he kept switching between sending voice messages to Yang Zhengxin on his phone and anxiously rummaging through his bag. Finally, he asked, a little embarrassed and ashamed:

"Sister, if I just go to see Auntie and leave, won't she think I don't care about her?"

"Nope."

Song Tan spoke frankly: "My aunt only cares about the gas money we spent on this trip..."

you do not say.

After searching around the hospital emergency room, Song Tan was stunned to see her aunt and uncle sitting on a bench in the lobby.
"Auntie, why are you here? Why aren't you in the ward?"

The eldest aunt was also stunned:

"I told you not to come, not to come! Heatstroke is no big deal, just drink a bottle of Huoxiang Zhengqi Water. If it weren't for your brother Lingqi making such a fuss... oh dear!"

She said with annoyance, "What are you doing here? Gas prices aren't cheap these days, and you've just gone back and come back again. It's not enough trouble."

Qiaoqiao's eyes widened instantly; she looked at her aunt, then at her older sister—

Wow, my older sister is definitely the most amazing person in the world; everything she says is true!
Song Tan didn't mention that it was to take Qiao Qiao to a friend's house, but instead frowned and said:

“Auntie, my brother Lingqi did the right thing. You said it was heatstroke, but what if it was heat exhaustion? If we don’t come to the hospital quickly, what if a small thing gets bigger?”

"Besides, if you hadn't tried to save money on those two air conditioners, I wouldn't have wasted this trip on gas. It's all your fault for wasting money."

Aunt: "..."

The aunt nodded guiltily and with a pained expression: "You're absolutely right. It's all my fault. I won't be able to set up my stall tomorrow..."

Although she's stingy, she also has a bit of an Ah Q mentality:
"Fortunately, this trip wasn't in vain. I'll stay here with your uncle for the night first."

As for why I didn't stay in a hospital room—

"Hey! I see so many people coming to the emergency room. Some are drunk, some have had accidents, and some are covered in blood... We're not really in any danger, how can we possibly sleep in the bed?"

The lobby is free, so I'll just stay here.

I must say, this cool and refreshing place is really nice for sleeping, unlike at home where I often wake up at night.

Looking at Zhu Lingqi again, he had clearly run back again. This time, he was shaking out the two blankets and two small pillows on the chair next to him, grinning foolishly.
"Mom, you can sleep here. You don't need to buy breakfast tomorrow morning. Minmin said she'll bring breakfast to see us."

Song Tan: "..."

She really wanted to cover her face; she had no idea what Minmin's family was saying about this weird family.

His older cousin's family is so lucky to have a girlfriend; they really need to burn more paper money for their ancestors during holidays.

They genuinely care about the child, and they're really putting in the effort!

Song Tan gave Zhu Lingqi a wink, and the other nodded to indicate that he understood.

As I mentioned on WeChat before—I need to have my aunt sign for the appliances tomorrow. Once the two energy-efficient air conditioners are installed, she'll have to use them even if she doesn't intend to.

And also—

Qiaoqiao rummaged through her bag again: "Auntie, Uncle, these are the summer heat relief tea bags that Dr. Guo prescribed for you. They nourish yin, moisten dryness, and soothe the heart and lungs. You must drink them every day!"

Song Tan also said, "You can dilute these tea bags with more water and boil them more often, but just one bag a day."

"Brother Lingqi, remember to throw away the old tea bags when you get home from get off work every day. Don't go to the pharmacy to get any more herbal tea bags for a while."

In this heat, walking several thousand steps wouldn't be enough to exhaust the body. Auntie pouted, "Tan Tan, don't underestimate me. I may be frugal, but I never take anything bad. I wouldn't even take rotten leaves from the market for free!"

When it comes to food and drink, my aunt still values ​​quality.

Although her quality standard is simply that it "isn't bad".

In short, this heatstroke incident cost me a lot of money.

The eldest aunt sighed deeply, and after a tacit discussion with her uncle, they decided that they absolutely had to get enough sleep tonight!
I'll definitely turn on the air conditioning when I get back tomorrow, and I'll keep it on for at least two hours every day!

Meanwhile, as her cousin was taking Song Tan out of the hospital, he clutched his chest and grimaced, saying, "Tan Tan, can't we really return that air conditioner? Let's return it."

Song Tan waved her hand: "Why would you return it? Auntie likes Lu Chuan. This is Lu Chuan's gesture. He's rich..."

Zhu Lingqi was even more ashamed: "It's not that our family can't afford an air conditioner..."

Yes, your family can afford it, but each one is like a Pixiu, only taking in and never giving out.

Song Tan shook her head: "You should save that little bit of money to take Minmin and her family to Yunqiao Village for a trip. The village and I won't skimp on the cost of buying groceries and other necessities."

Zhu Lingqi gasped:
If we were to buy that, it would cost more than two air conditioners!

His heart was breaking with pain.

……

With no one around at night, the car drove smoothly all the way. Song Tan dropped Qiao Qiao off at the high-speed rail station and saw him get off the car with his bag on his back, looking spirited. Suddenly, she felt like an old mother seeing her son off on a long journey.

"Jojo."

"Hmm?" Qiao Qiao turned her head and looked at her with clear eyes.

Song Tan smiled and said, "When you're at someone else's house, you should follow their lead, but don't make yourself feel bad. If you're unhappy, call me and your brother Lu Chuan, and we'll come pick you up anytime."

Qiaoqiao grinned, then hugged her backpack tighter, feeling inexplicably nervous.
"Sister, I'm already starting to miss you all..."

Song Tan laughed and said, "It's okay, feel free to think about it—I'll just think of it as sending you to kindergarten. Go ahead and have fun!"

She waved, and seeing that Qiaoqiao was still standing there, she slowly closed the car window, started the car again, and quickly drove away.

As Qiaoqiao stood there, the slight sadness she felt was quickly transformed by the rising hot wind into anticipation and excitement at meeting Yang Zhengxin.

Great!
I'm going to visit my best friend!

Damn!

He was immediately annoyed. Netizens suggested carrying milk and fruit, but his sister said they were difficult to carry, so she left them all to the courier. Wouldn't he be leaving empty-handed?!

Thinking of this, after sitting down in the waiting room, he immediately found his post and carefully left a comment below it.

Thank you everyone for your help. My family has prepared all these things, but since it's inconvenient to carry them on a plane, my sister said she'd send them by package. Is it really appropriate for me to get off the plane empty-handed?

Comment section: [???]

"Seriously, bro? You didn't say you were going to your friend's house by plane? Why are you bringing milk on the plane? Are you going to gulp it down right there?"

[Wait, weren't they supposed to be two young masters from the countryside who built their own houses? How come they're on a plane?]

Next time you ask a question, please make sure to specify the preconditions. If you say "flying," then we won't mention milk and fruit.

Qiaoqiao was somewhat bewildered:

Can't people bring these things on a plane? But he really wrote down everything on the list, and his sister will mail it tomorrow! (End of Chapter)
