Tang Dynasty: The pot is tied to the duck nest, the little rhinoceros is here!

Empress Zhangsun spoke up: "Sizi, be quiet. Don't make a sound. Look how quiet your second sister is!"

"Ah~ Mommy, I'm getting you some little pustules, because they're on Ziji Island, and Mommy especially loves little pustules!"

Empress Zhangsun was stunned, deeply moved. Her little darling... was so heartwarming.

"Mom, don't be fooled by Xiao Sizi, that little girl is very clever."

Li Lizhi smiled and pinched the little ox's chubby cheeks.

"Mhm." Chengyang nodded.

"Sister~ Let me go!"

Soon, the waiter came over. The moment he saw Xiao Sizi and Chengyang, his eyes were drawn to the two adorable little dumplings.

This was the first time I'd ever seen one like this. She was beautiful, with chubby, pink cheeks that made you want to pinch them.

Of course, her mother and sister were also incredibly beautiful, even more so than big stars, and had great charisma. As for Jiang Fan, he was naturally overlooked.

Little Sizi struggled out of Li Lizhi's arms and said directly, "I want little pustules, lots and lots of little pustules!"

Waiter: "Little friend, how much can you eat? Also, what kind of duck filling would you like?"

"I miss Qi... a little pustules with filling."

"We have pork with scallions, pork with chives,..."

Listening to the waiter introduce so many options, Xiao Sizi's mind went blank. There were too many to eat, she simply couldn't finish them all.

Even making a choice proved incredibly difficult, leaving them with no choice but to turn to Jiang Fan for help.

"Brother, help me choose, it's so hard to choose, there are so many, I don't know which one to choose."

Jiang Fan smiled and ruffled Xiao Sizi's hair, comforting him, "Then let's order one basket of each, see which one tastes best, and eat more of it!"

Empress Zhangsun quickly stopped Jiang Fan, saying, "We can't finish all of this; wouldn't that be a waste?"

"It's alright, if we can't finish it, we'll pack it up and take it to the hospital for Old Li."

After listening to Jiang Fan's words, Empress Zhangsun nodded.

Since Empress Zhangsun had only recently undergone surgery, Jiang Fan directly ordered a bowl of eight-treasure porridge for her, while he and the three Li sisters each ordered a bowl of tofu pudding.

Immediately afterwards, six baskets of various flavored xiaolongbao were stacked on the table.

The little guy counted on his chubby little hands, but he couldn't count them all with just one hand, which stumped him.

"How many cages of rhinoceroses? Can you even count them all?" Li Lizhi teased.

"Hmph! You naughty older sister, Xiaokang's little nest, four cages, right?"

The little girl said in a childish voice.

"Idiot, I told you to read and study more, but you're just playing around. Here are six cages..."

"Waaaah~ I'm not stupid, I'm still a little duckling, I've already learned several words!"

Honey, why did my sister say that to me? Ugh, this is so hard for me…

Jiang Fan: "..."

Empress Zhangsun: "..."

Li Lizhi: "..."

Chengyang: "..."

Little Sizi wasn't sad for long, because with so many buns, her little tummy was already incredibly hungry.

Whoosh whoosh!

The little ox was like a little hamster, its mouth stuffed full.

"This little boil smells so good, darling!"

"Okay, eat as much as you like, but eat slowly. I'll have someone pack up the rest, okay?"

"Mmm-hmm!"

Ten minutes later, Little Si rubbed her noticeably rounder belly and smiled contentedly, "I'm full. You little pustule are so good!"

Empress Zhangsun took the napkin handed to her by Jiang Fan, wiped her mouth, and then...

He said to the little ox, "Eating so much, aren't you afraid of eating your brother Jiang Fan out of house and home!"

"Huh? Honey...you've become poor? Then...I'll go back and give you all my little bit of money!"

See, Little Sizi can definitely step up in crucial moments and won't let us down.

It's just money, Xiao Sizi has plenty of it.

Jiang Fan laughed and said, "No need, brother has money. Si Zi can keep his own money!"

"This is my little bit of money, it's my little bit of money, come on, I'll go get it for you..."

The action-oriented Xiao Sizi acted immediately, dragging Jiang Fan along to return to the Tang Dynasty, abandoning even her grandfather.

"We still need to go to the hospital to see Grandpa!" Jiang Fan said, both amused and exasperated.

"Awooo!"

Jiang Fan hurriedly picked up the packed steamed buns and tofu pudding, and took Empress Zhangsun and the three little princesses to the hospital.

When Jiang Fan returned to the ward, Li Yuan was still "sound asleep." The nurse saw Jiang Fan come back...

She stood up and said to Jiang Fan, "Mr. Jiang, why is this old man sleeping so much today? He's been sleeping the whole time except for going to the bathroom once."

Jiang Fan laughed and said, "It's alright. It's quite rare for someone of your age to be able to sleep. Thank you for your hard work!"

"It's no trouble at all, it's all I should do. I'll head over now, just let me know if you need anything!"

"Okay, thank you!"

The nurse who was helping to watch over Li Yuan was originally part of the VIP ward care service. Jiang Fan left in the morning and asked the nurse to keep an eye on things for him.

But this act of guarding him was a serious matter, as it frightened Li Yuan so much that he dared not "wake up." He could only keep his mouth shut and kept sneaking off to sleep, fearing that Jiang Fan would come back and take him away.

As people get older, they naturally become more afraid of death. They don't want to die even if they can live for just one more day.

Just then, Xiao Sizi came to the bedside and whispered to Li Yuan, "Grandpa, you don't need to pretend to be asleep anymore, Guoguo is gone..."

"Huh? Jiang Fan is gone? That's great, I was so scared... (⊙o⊙) Ah!? Jiang Fan? You you you you... Didn't you leave? Sizi? What happened?"

Li Yuan was completely bewildered at this moment. The main problem was that the blood clots in his brain hadn't been cleared away yet, and now he felt even more confused.

He almost saw double when he looked at his granddaughter, Xiao Sizi.

So, all this time, his granddaughter and Jiang Fan conspired to deceive him? The worst part is, he actually fell for it.

"(^__^) Hehe... Grandpa, my husband's back again..."

Li Yuan: "..." What you said, Sizi, is really good. Don't say it again.

Jiang Fan was amused by Li Yuan's expression and said with a smile:

"As long as you cooperate with the nurses and the hospital, I won't take you away."

After all, it took a lot of effort to save you, but what about you?

You need to take care of your health. You're almost seventy years old; please don't act impulsively anymore, okay?

"I'll do whatever you say as long as you don't take me with you."

"If you had said so earlier, nothing would have happened. Hehehe, since you're awake, tell me, is your head still foggy? Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt, and I'm not confused anymore. It was just that when Sizi and you teamed up to trick me, my head went blank for a moment, but I'm fine now!"

Jiang Fan: "..."

Little Sizi turned around, covered his ears, and said, "I can't hear you, I can't hear you..."
