Wei Xiaoyong and Li Dani brought a lot of vegetables and fruits to visit Tian Jing.
Wei Xiaoyong represented the forty shareholders of the plantation.
In the year Tian Jing had her accident, Li Weixin nurtured all the seedlings for the plantation, which did not delay the supply of fruits and vegetables to the supermarket.
Wei Xiaoyong said a few words and, seeing that Tian Jing was listless, took Li Dani and left.
Tian Jing had just rested for a while when Ouyang Lei arrived, covered in dust.
"Heroine Tian, you're finally awake?"
Tian Jing smiled weakly, "Where are you returning from?"
"The mine. If I, a shareholder, don't supervise, I fear the invested money will go down the drain."
Looking at Ouyang Lei's spirit, it was evident that the mine he invested in was quite promising.
"Then I wish Boss Ouyang prosperity in business."
Ouyang Lei smiled, "Then I wish you a speedy recovery."
After a few words, Ouyang Lei was dragged away by his elder sister.
Upon hearing his elder sister say that Tian Jing's body might not recover, Ouyang Lei was shocked.
"What exactly is wrong with Heroine Tian's body? She doesn't look like she's been in a car accident."
"I don't know."
Ouyang Meihua shook her head. "Captain Zeng told us that. It should be classified. Don't call her Heroine anymore in the future, it's not appropriate."
"Alas!" Ouyang Lei sighed, "I'll be going back now. You take good care of her."
"Do I need you to tell me that? Hurry up and go."
Ouyang Meihua pushed her younger brother away. He was so tactless to visit when there were so many people.
...
The tactful Shen Jianfang and Shen Jianrong left the next day. The Li family was busy, Tian Jing was tired, and many people came to visit.
The Li family closed their doors to visitors again.
The reason given was that the patient needed quiet rest.
Some guests, however, could not be turned away, such as the young Mai Xingyang.
He came to see Captain Tian as a secondary purpose; his true intention was to see Xuanxuan and ask when she would return. He said that martial arts training could not be interrupted halfway.
Tian Jing told her granddaughter to go back, otherwise, it would be difficult for her to practice martial arts freely by her father's side once she started school.
Xuanxuan and her mother Li Wanting left with the child. Yu Ziyu, along with her second son, looked after the children at home.
A few days later, Tian Jing's appetite improved slightly. Li Zhengguo took out the ginseng essence refined by his youngest son.
After taking it for a week, Tian Jing felt a little strength. After another week, she was able to get out of bed.
Patients who have been bedridden for a long time will experience orthostatic dizziness when they get out of bed, which requires time to transition.
It took half a month to go from feeling dizzy every time she stood up to being able to walk a few steps.
Li Min watched with great distress and secretly asked Ouyang Meihua, "Can my sister-in-law recover to how she was before? She looks worse than an ordinary person."
Ouyang Meihua asked testily, "If your sister-in-law remains like this forever, will you no longer respect her?"
"Impossible."
Li Min shook her head. "Even if she remains weak forever, I will never dislike her. I'm just worried and anxious. My mother must be anxious too."
"I'm not anxious."
Li Mu walked into the kitchen and handed the pheasant in her hand to her daughter.
"Illness arrives like a mountain, and leaves like pulling silk. As long as your sister-in-law takes good care of herself, she will definitely recover."
"Hurry up and kill the chicken. When you chop it, remember to remove the skin. Your sister-in-law cannot eat greasy food yet."
...
Autumn turned to winter, and the year-end arrived in the blink of an eye.
Under her mother-in-law's strict care, adhering to the postpartum confinement standards, Tian Jing could walk from her bedroom to the living room by herself.
It took nearly half a year to reach this point, and it was only with the dual boost of dietary supplements and ginseng essence that she recovered this much. Tian Jing herself was disappointed.
Li Mu was not disappointed. "Tiantian, when you first entered the Li family, I was almost ready to enter the coffin."
"It was you and Zhengguo who bought the food. It was you who told Minmin to take me out for some sun... If you hadn't come, I would have gone to see the King of Hell long ago. How could I have seen the prosperity of the Li family?"
"Don't rush. Hasty food is not good. Let alone half a year, even if it takes one or two years, Mother will still restore your health."
"Thank you, Mother."
Tian Jing's eyes became moist. She was so fortunate to have such a good mother-in-law.
...
Zeng Jingliang and his family of three came. Seeing Tian Jing's extremely weak appearance, Yuan Feng's eyes reddened. However, it was good that she was awake.
When she heard that Tian Jing had woken up, she wanted to abandon her restaurant and come down the mountain, but it was the busiest period of the summer vacation, with reservations full from morning to night.
Thinking that there must be many people visiting Tian Jing, she endured it until the scenic spot closed and she could offer her well wishes.
As soon as Li Mu heard that Yuan Feng planned to stew nourishing food for her daughter-in-law, she smiled from ear to ear and settled the family of three in the backyard of the quadrangle.
With Yuan Feng's participation, Tian Jing's nourishing soup became even more delicious, but the effect remained minimal.
...
On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Li Weili gave her company an early holiday. Her mother had woken up, and she had only seen her on video.
Seeing her extremely weak mother, she cried out all her worries from over a year ago.
Li Mu raised her feather duster. "What are you crying about? You're such a spoilsport. Why didn't you come back when your mother first woke up?"
"She's worked hard for nearly half a year and can finally walk out of her room without relying on others. What are you crying about?"
"Don't think I won't hit you just because you're a mother. I've been hitting your aunt my whole life."
Li Weili quickly wiped away her tears. During her mother's coma, everyone in the family was afraid of Grandma.
"Grandma, aren't you using this feather duster to hit Siji and the others?"
"Hmph!"
Li Mu snorted heavily. "Whoever doesn't listen gets hit!"
"Bleah bleah."
Yu Siji made a face at his aunt from the living room entrance and ran off with his shadow, Siyu.
"You rascal!"
Li Weili turned to chase after him. "Stop right there."
Yu Siji looked back and decided to abandon his trailing cousin, opening the door himself and running out. However, as he descended the steps, he was lifted up.
"Dad, Dad's back?"
Li Weibao directly lifted his eldest son into the house, closed the door behind him, and asked, "What are you running for? Your great-grandmother is busy, and you're causing trouble?"
"It's Auntie."
Yu Siji kicked his dangling legs. "It was Auntie who angered Great-Grandma, and then she took it out on me."
Li Weibao remained unmoved and placed his eldest son on the corridor to stand properly.
"You'll be starting first grade next year. Will you be attending school here, or will you go to the Northern Province for school?"
"Here."
Yu Siji said without hesitation, "My martial arts training cannot be interrupted."
Li Weibao nodded. "I will discuss it with your grandfather."
Yu Siji deflated. Grandfather and Grandmother would definitely want him to go back.
Li Weibao vigorously ruffled his eldest son's hair. "You can express your ideas. Adults' plans may not always be what you like."
Yu Siji looked up. "Can I have the surname Li?"
Li Weibao was stunned for a moment, then hugged his eldest son tightly.
"Siji, saying that will hurt your grandfather and grandmother's hearts. I know you feel like having the surname Yu makes you an outsider."
"But it's not. You and Sipei are both my sons. Here in the Li family, no one treats you as an outsider."
Leaning on his father's chest and listening to his words, Yu Siji's heart no longer wavered. "Okay, I'll keep the surname Yu. I'll inherit the Yu family and the expectations of my grandparents."
Li Weibao gently patted his eldest son's back. "Yes, that's the kind of responsibility a man should have. If your grandfather disagrees, I will fight for you. I'll fight for you until you graduate from primary school. Your entire childhood will be spent here."
"Thank you, Dad."
Yu Siji happily grinned at his father and thanked him.
Not seeing An'an and Xiaoyu, Li Weibao smiled and asked his sister if she hadn't given the Northern Province branch company a holiday.
"We did."
Li Weili nodded. "An'an said he would go to Shilei's house to deliver New Year's gifts first and return on Little Year."
"What about Xiaoyu?"
Li Weibao cared about the other older brother.
"I don't know."
Li Weili shook her head. "I came back directly from the capital. However, I vaguely heard An'an say that Xiaoyu might have gotten together with Sun Baoyun."
"Sun Baoyun? Who is she?"
Li Weili chuckled at her second brother's confusion. "She's the bridesmaid at Brother Yanyan's wedding. The girl who first pestered Xiaoyu and then asked our eldest sister-in-law to get QQ number for Ranran."
Li Weibao frowned. "Someone like that can join our family?"
Li Weili was displeased. "What's wrong? Can't women be picky? Although she picked one of our family members, her initial target was Xiaoyu. It was Xiaoyu who pushed her towards Ranran."
Li Weibao smiled faintly. "Are you on antibiotics? Why are you so aggressive?"
Li Weili leaned close to her second brother's ear and whispered, "Xiaoyu might have done something to her. We can't be opposed. We must say the girl is good. Besides, Xiaoyu will be 29 by New Year's."
Li Weibao's brow furrowed. "Is the news reliable?"
Li Weili looked at her displeased second brother. "That's what I gathered from An'an's vague words. See if you want to contact Xiaoyu and give him some advice?"
Li Weibao pondered. "I'll talk about it after I go back tomorrow morning."
He only took half a day off. From evening until tomorrow morning, he couldn't waste it elsewhere.
After speaking, he got up to see his mother in the west room. Seeing his mother's rosy complexion, he smiled happily.
"Mom looks well."
Tian Jing, leaning against the head of the bed, put down the book she was holding. "It's all thanks to your grandmother. She cooks nourishing soups for me every day in various ways. Why are you back? Are you back for New Year's?"
"Yes, we're all coming back."
Li Weibao nodded. "I've only taken half a day off to come and see. This year, my brothers and I have all applied for our annual leave, and Captain Zeng has agreed. However, it's only for three days, from New Year's Eve to the second day of the Lunar New Year."
Hundreds of team members all wanted to take their annual leave. Zeng Jingrong's repeated agreement to let Haohao and his brothers take leave was truly difficult.
Tian Jing said, "Let it be this year. Don't trouble the captain in the future. Except for Ranran, you are all married with children. You should give your annual leave to those who need it."
"Mm."
