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

Little Sizi wasn't interested in any of that; she only cared about Sun Wukong.

She leaned closer to the tablet and saw that the progress bar had finished.

She jumped up happily: "Brother! Okay, okay! I can watch it now!"

Jiang Fan handed her the tablet and patted her head: "Okay, go ahead and watch it."

"Mmm, mmm!" Little Sizi took the tablet with both hands, as if it were a precious treasure, and turned to run to the bed. She couldn't run fast in her slippers.

I simply kicked off my slippers, ran barefoot over, climbed onto the bed, and didn't even bother to put my shoes back on.

She rolled onto the bed, dangling her legs up and playing music.

Chengyang also came over and lay down next to her. The two little ones touched heads and stared at the screen.

The theme song started playing, with a cheerful rhythm and an inspiring melody.

"Monkey King, Monkey King, you're amazing! The Five Elements Mountain couldn't hold you down, and out sprang Sun Wukong..."

As the little ox listened, it began to hum along in its sweet, childish voice, "Monkey King, Monkey King..."

She didn't know the next lyrics, so she just sang along with "la la la".

But her little head bobbed back and forth, her little feet wiggled, completely immersed in the music.

Chengyang hummed along softly, but was quieter than Xiaosizi.

Li Lizhi was drawn to them, put down her phone, and leaned over to take a look at the screen.

In the animated film, Sun Wukong is flying around in the sky on his somersault cloud, swinging his golden cudgel and causing rocks to crumble, displaying his majestic power.

"It looks pretty good," Li Lizhi said softly.

Empress Zhangsun also watched curiously for a while, although she didn't quite understand it.

But seeing Sun Wukong's lively and clever appearance, I couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing Empress Zhangsun's interest, Jiang Fan stood up and addressed her:

"Auntie, there's also a TV series version, which is equally classic. Give me your phone, and I'll play the 'Journey to the West' TV series for you."

"it is good."

Empress Zhangsun didn't understand what the TV series version was, but she believed Jiang Fan was right.

He first downloaded the video software, searched for "1986 Journey to the West", and clicked on the first episode.

"Ta-da..." The classic intro begins.

In the opening scene, Sun Wukong bursts out of a stone, somersaults, his golden cudgel gleaming, soaring through the clouds and churning the seas.

Li Lizhi was originally joining in the fun with the two little girls when she saw Jiang Fan holding her mother's new phone, so she also came over.

But when they saw Sun Wukong's majestic appearance...

Her eyes lit up immediately. She put down her phone, sat on the edge of the bed, and watched intently with Empress Zhangsun and her daughter.

"This looks even better than an animated film," Li Lizhi whispered.

Empress Zhangsun also leaned against the headboard, her gaze fixed on her phone screen.

When she saw Tang Sanzang appear in his cassock, exuding an extraordinary air, she nodded and said, "This Tang Sanzang does have the air of a high-ranking monk."

Jiang Fan introduced with a smile: "The 1986 version of 'Journey to the West' was filmed decades ago."

It's still a classic to this day. The actors' performances were exceptional.

Little Sizi was lying on the bed, watching cartoons on her tablet.

Hearing the voice coming from my mother's phone, I couldn't help but peek over to take a look.

Just then, she saw Sun Wukong pull the golden cudgel out of his ear, which grew bigger and bigger. She exclaimed "Wow!" and her eyes widened in surprise.

"Hey bro, the Monkey King on TV is different from the Monkey King on my tablet!"

"Of course they're different. One is a live-action film, and the other is an animated film," Jiang Fan explained.

Xiao Sizi thought for a moment, then looked down at the tablet and then up at her mother's phone, unwilling to give up either of them.

Finally, she made a decision: "I'll watch on the tablet first, and then I'll get Mom to watch on the phone with me!"

Chengyang was also looking at the tablet, but he also curiously leaned over to take a peek.

She whispered, "Brother Jiang Fan, this TV series seems pretty good too."

"Haha... check your phones after you've finished watching on your tablets," Jiang Fan said with a laugh.

The ward became lively, with the sounds of the TV and cartoons mixed together, along with Xiao Sizi's occasional giggles.

Fortunately, the bed where Jiang Fan was staying was separate from Li Yuan's bed, and the soundproofing was good, so it wouldn't disturb Li Yuan's sleep.

That night, Xiao Sizi and Chengyang lay side by side on the bed.

Their heads were pressed together, their eyes fixed on the tablet screen.

On the screen, Sun Wukong is riding his somersault cloud, wielding his golden cudgel, and fighting a group of monsters until the sky darkens.

Jiang Fan stood up from the sofa, stretched, and checked the time—it was almost six o'clock.

He walked to the bedside and said to Empress Zhangsun, "Auntie, it's been a long time since I've had roast duck. I'm planning to buy a Peking duck. What else would you like to eat?"

Empress Zhangsun thought for a moment and said, "Just buy something simple, something light."

Li Lizhi also said, "Yes, Brother Fan, you can buy whatever you want, we're all fine with it."

"Okay." Jiang Fan nodded, then glanced down at the two little ones lying on the bed.

"Sizi, Chengyang, I'm going downstairs to buy food. You two stay here."

Little Sizi watched intently without looking up, her eyes glued to the screen, and mumbled a vague "hmm".

Chengyang did look up and glance at it, but didn't say anything, and then looked down again to continue looking.

Jiang Fan smiled helplessly, turned around and left the ward.

He walked out of the hospital and strolled slowly along the street.

Soon they arrived at a roast duck restaurant, bought a roast duck, and then started thinking about what other dishes to buy—ultimately, they went to a nearby restaurant.

We ordered stir-fried seasonal vegetables, stir-fried bean sprouts with chives, shredded pork with garlic sauce, braised pork ribs, stir-fried beef with yellow peppers, and seafood dumpling soup.

While waiting for his food, he stood by the door scrolling through his phone. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a stationery store next door.

The shop window was filled with colorful toys, and he glanced at them subconsciously—then stopped.

Two red plastic sticks hung in the most conspicuous position in the shop window.

One end is gold and the other is red, with a gold decoration around the middle.

Next to the stick was a small sign that read "Golden Cudgel, Sound and Light Toy".

Jiang Fan's eyes lit up, and he pushed open the door and went inside.

"Boss, how much is this golden cudgel?" He pointed to the two cudgels in the display window.

The owner, a man in his forties, smiled and said, "Sixty yuan a stick, two sticks for one hundred yuan."

Jiang Fan took out 100 yuan: "Then give me two, new ones, with batteries installed."

"This is rechargeable, not battery-operated."

"Okay, then just install it."

"Alright!" The shopkeeper took out two brand-new golden cudgels from under the counter.

I tried it out—the stick lit up and even sang a few lines, "We just captured a few demons."

Jiang Fan nodded in satisfaction, took the bag, and carried the lunchbox and stick back to the hospital.

Pushing open the ward door, Li Lizhi walked over quickly and took the takeout box from his hand.

Jiang Fan then washed his hands and helped Li Lizhi open the lunchboxes and place them on the table one by one.
