Chapter 315 Lin Dongzhe, you're so stupid!

Lin Dongzhe kept the precautions for women's menstrual period in the premarital study manual in mind. He knew that women need to supplement their nutrition during their period, and that nutritious foods such as meat, eggs and milk are essential. He also knew that it was important to ensure good sleep. He remembered all of these.

As he walked into Aunt Huang's courtyard, he immediately saw his mother and Aunt Huang sitting inside shelling soybeans, with Journey to the West playing on TV.

Lin Dongzhe pushed open the door and walked in. "Mom, Aunt Huang, has Xiaoting gone back to her room?"

Huang Ling smiled and nodded. "Just got back to your room, Dongzhe, what's up?"

Lin Dongzhe, clutching the enamel basin in his arms, explained that the bulge inside his clothes was from a hot water bottle. "Xiaoting's stomach was a little upset, so I warmed up some milk for her. She'll feel better after drinking it."

Huang Ling had just seen Xiao Ting come back clutching her stomach and had already given her a pill, but it probably hadn't taken effect yet. "Dong Zhe is such a good boy, so caring towards Xiao Ting. Auntie thanks you on Xiao Ting's behalf. Go on upstairs."

Song Ying pursed her lips, trying her best not to laugh. But when Dong Zhe reached the stairwell, she couldn't hold it in any longer. She leaned close to Huang Ling's ear and whispered a few words. "Sister Ling, I think Dong Zhe really cares about Xiao Ting."

The two understood each other perfectly, nodded immediately, and burst into laughter.

Song Ying continued to daydream. "Sister Ling, if Dongzhe and Xiaoting can get together, it wouldn't be impossible for Dongzhe to marry into your family. You can help look after the child then, and I'll go out and have fun with Wufeng."

Huang Ling nudged her lightly with her elbow. "You wish! You want to help me take care of my grandson?"

When Song Ying heard Sister Ling mention Sun Sun, she couldn't help but burst out laughing. She quickly covered her mouth and looked towards the stairwell.

"Sister Ling, you're thinking so far ahead. These days everyone says it's good to only have one child per family. If Xiaoting could have a baby girl, I would definitely dress her up like a little princess, hahaha."

Huang Ling laughed so hard she couldn't stand up straight. "Let's just keep thinking like this. If Engineer Lin and Chao Ying hear us, who knows what they'll say about us."

Song Ying put her hands on her hips and muttered under her breath, "He wouldn't dare! Wu Feng is more than happy to have Xiao Ting as our daughter-in-law, hahaha."

. . . . . .

At that moment, Lin Dongzhe, carrying an enamel basin and clutching a hot water bottle tightly in his arms, arrived at Xiaoting's door. "Knock knock knock, Xiaoting, it's me, Lin Dongzhe. May I come in?"

Xiaoting was lying in bed reading a romance novel when she heard the sound. She quickly stuffed the book under her pillow. "Come in."

Lin Dongzhe pushed open the door and saw Xiaoting lying on the bed, his eyes filled with concern. "I know your stomach isn't feeling well, so I warmed up some milk for you. The book says that drinking warm milk can help."

He tiptoed over, placed the bowl on the table, opened the lid—it was still steaming. "Drink it while it's hot."

Xiaoting pouted as she looked at the large enamel basin on the table. "You're just going to make me drink from such a big basin?"

Lin Dongzhe then realized what was happening, slapped his forehead in annoyance, and turned to go to the kitchen to get a cup. "I'll go get a cup right now," Xiaoting said quickly upon seeing this. "No need, just drink it like this."

Lin Dongzhe sat down on the edge of the bed, carefully took a hot water bottle out of his down jacket, and handed it to Xiaoting. "I was afraid it would get cold, so I kept it close to my body. Here you go."

Xiaoting reached out and took the hot water bottle. Inadvertently, their hands touched. Xiaoting felt as if she had been electrocuted and quickly pulled her hand back.

Lin Dongzhe scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and gently placed the hot water bottle on the bed.

Xiaoting gently placed the hot water bottle on her stomach; the warmth made her sigh softly in comfort.

I just took the medicine my mom gave me, and it's starting to take effect now; my stomach feels much better.

She held the enamel basin in both hands, sipping the hot milk slowly. After finishing, she placed the basin on the table. "Lin Dongzhe, thank you for the milk and the hot water bottle."

Lin Dongzhe scratched his head a little embarrassedly. "It's nothing, it's what I should do. I'm older than you, so it's my duty to take care of you. You lie down and rest, I'm going out now."

After saying that, he walked out of the room, turning back every few steps, his gait somewhat unsteady.

After Lin Dongzhe gently closed the door, Xiaoting covered her face with her hands, a silly smile on her face, and muttered softly.

"You're such a fool, Lin Dongzhe! You're so stupid, so stupid!"

Tu Nan and Peng Fei were helping to shell edamame downstairs, with boiled quail eggs next to them.

Tu Nan peeled edamame while glancing upstairs every now and then. Fortunately, Lin Dongzhe came out less than five minutes later, and he breathed a sigh of relief, his tense nerves relaxing.

"Knock knock knock!" There was a sudden knock on the courtyard gate.

Tu Nan clapped his hands and stood up. "Mom, I'll go open the door."

He strode to the courtyard gate and called out loudly, "Who is it?"

"I am Wu Shanshan."

Zhuang Tunan opened the door and saw Wu Shanshan carrying two boxes of pastries, with a familiar smile on her face.

He greeted her warmly. "Shanshan, it's you! Come in quickly."

Wu Shanshan didn't come back during the summer vacation; she took a tutoring job instead.

A few days ago, as the holiday was approaching, her father called the school and asked her to come home for the Chinese New Year. After all, her family missed her very much. Xiaojun also looked forward to her sister's return. In this family, the eldest sister is like a mother. Her mother passed away early, and Xiaojun is the relative she misses the most.

So she returned home, but when she got there she found that the houses across the street now belonged to two families she didn't know.

Xiaomin said that Teacher Zhuang and Uncle Lin had bought a house and moved away, and she felt a little disappointed.

She knew that her opportunity to go to high school was entirely due to Teacher Zhuang's help. When she was little, Aunt Song and Aunt Huang also took great care of her. She always remembered this kindness, so she had to come and see them.

Wu Shanshan explained, “I heard that Aunt Song and Aunt Huang moved, so I asked Brother Yiming, and he gave me your address, so I came here.”

"come on in."

Lin Dongzhe and Pengfei also stood up and pushed open the door. "Sister Shanshan, come in quickly, it's quite warm inside."

"Dongzhe, Pengfei, it's been a year since I last saw you two, you've both grown so tall."

The two smiled.

When Song Ying and Huang Ling saw that it was Shan Shan, their faces lit up with delighted smiles.

They all really liked this sensible and ambitious little girl, after all, they had watched her grow up and had developed some affection for her.

"Aunt Song, Aunt Huang, when I went home I saw that your house had been occupied by someone else, so I asked Brother Yiming. I came here today to see you. I haven't been home for a year, and I really miss you both."

As Wu Shanshan spoke, she placed the pastries she was holding on the table, a sweet smile on her face. "I bought two boxes of pastries, Auntie, please don't mind."

Song Ying affectionately took Wu Shanshan's hand and pulled her to sit down on the sofa. "We don't mind, Shanshan. Your Aunt Huang and I are overjoyed that you thought of us." She gently patted Shanshan's hand, her words sincere.

Huang Ling nodded repeatedly. "That's right, the gift doesn't have to be expensive; it's the thought that counts that makes it special."

She looked at Shanshan with tender eyes, then changed the subject, asking half-jokingly, "Shanshan, have you made any friends at school?"

Shanshan gently shook her head, her attitude very serious. "No, I really don't have that plan right now. I still need to focus on my studies and can't be distracted."

At this moment, Lin Dongzhe, who was sitting on a chair nearby, asked Shanshan, "Sister Shanshan, is Fudan University good? Is it as big as Tongji University?"

Upon hearing this, Shan Shan smiled and patiently explained to Lin Dongzhe, "Both are excellent. Both universities are outstanding, but they focus on different majors and each has its own strengths. For example, Tongji University is top-notch in architecture, which is what Tu Nan studied; while Fudan University excels in humanities majors such as Chinese literature and history."

Huang Ling got up, poured a cup of hot water, and brought it to Shan Shan.

Huang Ling originally wanted Shan Shan to stay for dinner. "Shan Shan, it's rare for you to come all this way, so let's have a simple meal at Auntie's house and chat a bit."

Shanshan looked apologetic. "Aunt Huang, thank you for your kindness, but I have to help Xiaomin set up her stall. I really can't find the time. I'll definitely do it next time."

She stood up, said goodbye to everyone again, and turned to leave.

Watching Shanshan's departing figure, Song Ying sighed softly. "What a good child, why can't Old Wu understand?"

Huang Ling also looked towards the door, and said thoughtfully, "Old Wu, he's probably regretting it now."
