Chapter 3 Chocolate

  Later, Lu Miao followed her parents to the hospital several times, when Jiang Haoyue was awake.

    Children seem to like to play with children older than themselves, and Lu Miao is no exception, not to mention that she still thinks Jiang Haoyue is very good-looking.

    His eyes were much lighter than hers. They were the foggy brown. Lu Miao thought of the mountains painted in the illustration of the language book. It was far away and quiet.

    Jiang Haoyue was indeed quiet. He could stare at the ceiling without moving, and it was all afternoon. There was no kid at this age like him. In Lin Wenfang's words, this is called "behaved" and "honest". They are all good words. Lu Miao has never been praised like that once.

    Seeing the weather outside was clear, Lu Miao opened the curtains.

    The sun entered the ward, Jiang Haoyue's hair was dyed beautiful blonde.

    Then Lu Miao started chatting with him again: "Ge ge, when will you be better? The hospital can't kick shuttlecock, I want to go out to play."

    "Have you ever assembled a robot? I can pretend it."

    "Ge ge, Do you know Ultraman? I have a five-blood Ultraman game card."

    "Ge ge, can I touch your hair?"

    Jiang Haoyue didn't say much, but Lu Miao said too much, and he still knows how to answer her.

    "Can you stop talking."

    "Oh." Lu Miao shut her mouth angrily.

    Her parents were not there and there was nothing to play in the ward. Lu Miao was slightly shocked by Jiang Haoyue's words. She looked around here and there, and deliberately avoided him.

    By coincidence, she glanced over the trash can beside his bed and found something familiar lying in it.

    Take a closer look, that's right—chocolate! It hasn't been opened at all, her favorite nutty taste.

    Jiang Haoyue threw the chocolate she gave away.

    When Lu Miao went out this morning, she chose for a long time before she made up her mind to bring it to her beautiful little brother. She didn't know that as soon as she gave him off, he just threw it away.

    Lu Miao could hardly think about the chocolates she sent before, the raisin-flavored, crispy-rice-flavored, sandwich...

    "Are you a fool?" She scolded him angrily: "You won't give it to me if you don't eat it?"

    So Jiang Haoyue watched her dig out the piece of chocolate from the trash can.

    "Tear and pull"-smoothly torn open the package.

    "Ka, Ka"-chewed a few mouthfuls in a hurry.

    "Grumbling"-swallowed it.

    She stared at him as she ate, and the first sentence after eating was to ask him: "Is there any more?" On  the final transcript of the first grade of elementary school, the head teacher's positive comment on Lu Miao was "optimistic by nature" , Lin Wenfang felt that a more appropriate evaluation should be "instinctive heartlessness."

    Zaba Zaba recalled the sweetness in his mouth, Lu Miao was angry for about ten seconds at the fact that she finally felt "Jiang Haoyue didn't like her". With a flash of light in her mind, she suddenly thought that if this were the case, every time she came to see Jiang Haoyue in the future, she could have three whole pieces of chocolate.

    Thinking of this, Lu Miao was happy again.

    It was late autumn when Jiang Haoyue was discharged from the hospital.

    Treatment expenses, nutrition expenses, rehabilitation money, money for hiring a caregiver, and other odds and ends, almost emptied Lu Yongfei's family in a few months.

    Jiang Yi is not a good crop. The better Lu Yongfei's attitude is, the more arrogant he will be. The most recent time, he asked Lu Yongfei for mental damage, and the money was given to Jiang Yi, like throwing it into a bottomless pit that was filled with dissatisfaction.

    Lu Yongfei's family sold their house and moved to the next door to the Jiang family.

    It was an illegally built private house, with a total of four floors and more than a dozen households living in it. The rent is cheap, but the environment is a bit worse. The toilets and showers are all shared. Someone at the bottom has set up a large shed to grow vegetables and raise poultry. If they approached, the smell would not smell good. Lu Yongfei promised that Lu Miao’s chicken would be kept there.

    The cost of hiring a caregiver for daily care is too expensive. Lu Yongfei and Lin Wenfang have discussed it before, and when Jiang Haoyue has roughly recovered the ability to take care of himself, they can take time to take care of him.

    Jiang Haoyue's family lives on the second floor of a private house. Although he is fitted with a prosthesis, his rehabilitation training has not been entirely completed.

    So Jiang Yi was in charge of moving the wheelchair, and Lu Yongfei came to carry Jiang Haoyue upstairs.

    Lu Miao also came to help. She held a bucket in her left hand, a washbasin in her arms, followed Lu Yongfei, and walked up the steps step by step.
