Chapter 247: Jiang Cheng Has Not Returned Yet

"Teacher, Siyu has a stomachache, let me write it!"

"Teacher, Siyu isn't feeling well, let me!"

Jiang Yue and Jiang Sinian spoke in unison.

Before the teacher could answer, a figure had already run to the podium.

It was Fu Yang; he was thinking that since he had caused such a misunderstanding earlier, today was the perfect time to make amends to Jiang Siyu.

But once he reached the blackboard, he discovered a serious problem.

Uh, he didn't seem to know how to solve this problem.

Never mind, Fu Yang followed his own guesses, combined with both Eastern and Western culture, and filled the blackboard completely.

The teacher also had a way out, so he stopped making things difficult for Jiang Siyu, and then began to explain the correct answer to everyone based on the wrong one Fu Yang had written.

"Student Fu Yang wrote so much, and it's almost all wrong!" The teacher drew a big 'X', then changed his tone, "But Student Fu Yang's spirit of actively answering questions is still worthy of praise!"

"Now, please give him a round of applause, students!"

Fu Yang:...

In short, after this incident, the students quickly got to know this transfer student.

"I think this Fu Yang is quite manly!" Some girls were discussing it after class, "Especially the moment he stood up in class today, he looked so cool."

Yao Xiaotang agreed, but being cool was one thing, and having real ability was another.

When it came to family background, Jiang Sinian was the only one who matched her.

After school, Yao Xiaotang seized the opportunity; as she passed by Jiang Sinian, she deliberately twisted her ankle and then fell toward him.

In her imagination, Jiang Sinian would catch her as she fell, then the two would lock eyes, and Jiang Sinian would be deeply moved.

But in reality—

Jiang Sinian reacted extremely quickly and took a big step back.

Whoosh—

That was close, he almost got crushed by her.

Plop, Yao Xiaotang fell to the ground.

Lu Fei had originally wanted to go up and help her, but he remembered a passage in the "Green Tea Handbook" that was almost exactly the same as the scene of Yao Xiaotang falling.

Could it be that she really did it on purpose?

There clearly wasn't any messy debris around Jiang Sinian's seat.

The students suddenly burst into a round of mocking laughter.

Yao Xiaotang:...

Is Jiang Sinian even a man? A delicate little girl like her had fallen right beside him, and he actually jumped away?

Wuwu, it hurts so much, why isn't anyone helping her up?

A female student saw that she was pitiful and wanted to reach out to help her, but Yao Xiaotang only looked pitifully toward Lu Fei, who was not far away.

In the end, Lu Fei couldn't bear it and went up to help Yao Xiaotang up.

Female student:...

She also had a fiery temper and lashed out on the spot, "Yao Xiaotang, today I've finally seen what a 'green tea' is. What? Can only men help you up?"

The more the female student thought about it, the angrier she got; she reached out and pushed Yao Xiaotang, who had just been helped up by Lu Fei, back onto the ground.

"I think you're better off lying on the ground. It was a waste of my effort to lend a hand, bad luck!"

Yao Xiaotang:...

After the students had mostly left, Jiang Yue took off her coat, "Tie this around your waist. Can you still walk?"

Jiang Siyu's stomach hurt so much that she nodded, looking aggrieved.

Seeing this, Jiang Yue felt very sorry for her; she helped her cover everything that needed covering and crouched halfway down in front of her, "I'll carry you back."

Jiang Siyu lay on her back, feeling deeply moved in her heart.

She wished she could scrub her brother clean and pack him up to give to Yueyue to repay the favor.

Jiang Sinian sneezed, and seeing Jiang Siyu being carried by Jiang Yue, he frowned, "Are you crippled?"

"You're the one who's crippled! Your eyes are crippled! Your head is crippled! Your whole body is crippled!" Jiang Siyu immediately cursed.

Jiang Sinian:...

"It's really a waste of time to deal with you!"

Fu Yang had been waiting for them outside the small woods, and seeing Jiang Siyu, he asked with a boyish, carefree concern, "Let me carry you! I have a lot of strength!"

"Stay away!" Jiang Sinian pushed him away defensively, "With me, her brother, here, where does it fall to a small fry like you!"

"Fu Yang, thank you for today in class."

Jiang Siyu had already changed her opinion of him; he was both enthusiastic and quick to react.

"What is there to thank him for?" Jiang Sinian was unconvinced, "I was clearly the one who stood up first."

"Hmph! I'm not thanking you! I clearly saw that Yueyue was the first one to stand up!" Jiang Siyu retorted, neck stiff.

Fu Yang looked at her vivid little face and laughed foolishly.

Si Rong planned to take Jiang Siyu to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor for her menstrual cramps.

She really felt sorry for her.

After hearing about what happened in class, Si Rong couldn't help but praise Fu Yang as a child.

The children raised by Wan Fang were still very excellent.

Before Si Rong could even make an appointment with the doctor, she received a call from Jiang Yu.

His voice was filled with anxiety, "Sister-in-law, please bring the children to the hospital. Dad, he... he's not doing well."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Si Rong asked for the hospital details and then hung up the phone.

She gripped the steering wheel, feeling somewhat panicked.

Jiang Cheng, when on earth are you coming back?

At the hospital, Jiang Aiguo's condition was not very good.

A sudden cerebral hemorrhage.

Hu Qian sat slumped in a chair, her eyes dull; Si Rong put an arm around her shoulders, "Mom, Dad will be fine, he has always been in such good health."

"It's my fault, it's all my fault. The doctor said long ago he has high blood pressure and shouldn't eat pork belly. He was afraid of wasting the leftover pork belly from last night, so he ate it. If I had known, I should have eaten the pork belly first."

Si Rong felt tears about to fall as she listened.

She hoped her father-in-law could pull through this hurdle; otherwise, it might be a lifelong regret for Jiang Cheng.

"Sister-in-law, has there been any news from Big Brother during this time?"

Si Rong shook her head, "It was still a month ago that he made a phone call."

"Dad might not make it through this time; he has been constantly thinking of Big Brother..." Jiang Yu's eye sockets were slightly red.

With Big Brother not at home, he had to hold this family together.

In less than half an hour, Jiang Aiguo was wheeled to the morgue; he still hadn't been able to wait for his eldest son, whom he was so proud of, to return.

Jiang Aiguo's funeral was very grand; comrades-in-arms, relatives, and even neighbors from the compound all went.

They wanted to send off this soldier who had defended the country in his youth on his final journey.

The custom in Huaiyang is for the eldest son to smash the basin.

But because Jiang Cheng was not there, it was done by the second son, Jiang Yu.

During this time, Hu Qian fainted from crying several times.

After the funeral ended, Si Rong discussed with Jiang Yu, "I will take Mom home to live for a while!"

Xu Yan's health had not been very good these past few years, so naturally, she was unable to take care of Hu Qian.

"Thank you for your hard work, Sister-in-law," Jiang Yu said with sincere gratitude.

"We are family, no need to say such things; me being here is the same as your Big Brother being here."

Si Rong brought Hu Qian home and had the two children spend more time with Nainai when they were free, so as to help the old lady walk out of the gloom as soon as possible.

That night, Si Rong had another nightmare.

She dreamed of the funeral, only the photo on it had suddenly changed to Jiang Cheng.

"It's not real... no!"

Si Rong woke up calling Jiang Cheng's name.

At this moment, she heard a series of urgent knocks at the door.

It's so late, who could it be?
