Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Zhang Yueran looked at the message Wang Erhai sent, feeling a bit speechless, and complained inwardly: how can Wang Erhai's dad be so troublesome? His leg is broken, yet he won't stay home and recuperate properly.

But thinking that Wang Zhanggen might be right beside Wang Erhai now, she didn't say anything bad, only replied:

"Then you take him there, be careful on the road. I have class tomorrow, so I won't go with you."

Seeing Zhang Yueran reply like this, Wang Erhai said:

"Alright, then I'm hitting the road."

Wang Erhai then called his big brother Wang Dashan:

"Big Bro, I'm heading down with Dad now to see Sister-in-law and the kid. Send me an address."

When Wang Dashan received this call, he was quite surprised:

"Second Bro, why so late? I thought you'd come this morning."

Because Wang Zhanggen had previously insisted on coming today to see the kid, Wang Dashan and Du Xiaojuan had both compromised, deciding to welcome the old man's arrival today.

As a result, the whole day passed without seeing Wang Zhanggen come over, so they figured Wang Zhanggen must have changed his mind and wasn't coming.

Unexpectedly, it was nearly evening when they got this call from Wang Erhai.

Coming down from the County Town to the Hospital now, wouldn't it be past nine at night?

Isn't this just causing trouble for no reason?

"I've been busy all day, and only got Mom's call in the afternoon saying Dad had already arrived at the County Town and wanted me to drive him to your place. I had a very important meeting in the afternoon, could only drive him down after the meeting ended, so it got this late."

Wang Erhai explained patiently; he really didn't want his big brother blaming him.

"How about you let him go back to the Hometown first, and come over tomorrow?"

Wang Dashan asked tentatively.

Wang Erhai then said to Wang Zhanggen:

"Big Bro says maybe come tomorrow morning instead. What do you think?"

Wang Zhanggen, however, was stubborn, immediately refusing strongly:

"No! We agreed to go see my grandson today, so we must go today! I've spent the whole day fussing around the County Town; if I don't go, wouldn't that have been for nothing!"

Wang Zhanggen spoke with righteous confidence, giving Wang Erhai no chance to refuse.

Wang Erhai could only smile bitterly, then relayed it to his big brother:

"Dad says he must go today!"

Wang Dashan was speechless, but still said:

"Alright alright, then you drive him down! I'll send the location in a bit!"

Wang Dashan hung up and sent the Postpartum Center's location over.

Wang Erhai had just opened the phone navigation when Wang Zhanggen, sitting in the passenger seat, started nagging non-stop:

"Why haven't we set off yet? I'm starving! Ask you to do one thing, and you just dawdle!"

Wang Erhai was rendered completely speechless by Wang Zhanggen's words:

"Hey, I just asked if you wanted to eat before leaving, and you said you weren't eating!"

Wang Zhanggen pulled a long face and said:

"Wasn't it because I wanted to go down and eat with Big Bro and Sister-in-law? Stop talking, drive!"

Wang Erhai didn't say anything more.

Communicating with his own dad, he felt, was harder than communicating with the most difficult client in the world!

A client's difficulty at least has logic and purpose, but this dad of his, when he gets difficult, not only has zero logic, but also zero purpose — purely to oppose you, snap at you, choke you!

The small sedan got on the expressway.

At first the road conditions were okay, but once they entered the Guangzhou Urban Area, it turned terrible.

Guangzhou traffic volume is high to begin with, and they just happened to hit the evening rush hour.

The result was traffic jams all the way, stop-and-go, especially the stretch past Kunyun Road, jammed up like constipation.

"What's going on!"

Seeing the heavy jam, Wang Zhanggen got unhappy again.

"Don't you have eyes? Isn't this a traffic jam!"

Wang Erhai was also irritable; his patience was nearly exhausted, so his tone turned sharp.

"I know it's a jam. I'm asking why you picked this route!"

Wang Zhanggen huffed angrily; Wang Erhai's attitude made him even more displeased, and he kept yapping:

"I told you to leave early, leave early, but you insisted on attending some lousy meeting. Now look, stuck halfway, can't go forward, can't back out. By the time we see my grandson, it'll probably be ten at night!"

Wang Erhai said:

"I told you to eat first then come, who's to blame! Also, this is already the optimal route the navigation gave!"

Wang Zhanggen huffed angrily:

"Is this about eating? Don't you talk back to me! I'm your dad, what's wrong with scolding you a bit!"

Wang Erhai was so mad he wanted to slap himself twice!

He swore that if he ever encountered this kind of thing again, he would absolutely never drive Wang Zhanggen again!

Truly asking for trouble!

After barely getting through the most congested stretch, the road became a bit smoother.

Wang Changgen, however, started clutching his head again, saying he was dizzy.

"What's wrong with you? Carsick?"

Wang Erhai's first reaction was that Wang Changgen had gotten carsick.

Wang Changgen, however, said:

"Not the dizzy-from-carsickness kind. I haven't eaten a thing all day today; reckon it's from hunger."

Wang Changgen indeed hadn't eaten anything all day; ever since he ate a bowl of salted vegetable porridge in the morning, he hadn't eaten any food at all, including water!

Wang Erhai was immediately startled:

"No way, you haven't eaten all day, and just now in the County Town I told you to go eat first and you wouldn't go?"

Wang Changgen snapped irritably:

"Don't bring up this matter again, alright? Hurry up and drive! Faster!"

Seeing Wang Changgen's complexion didn't look right, Wang Erhai said:

"You've probably got low blood sugar; if you don't eat something, you might pass out!"

Wang Erhai promptly pulled the car over to the side of the road.

"Why'd you stop the car?"

Wang Changgen was displeased.

"I'm going to the nearby convenience store to buy some candy; eating some sugar will make you feel better!"

Without waiting for Wang Changgen to agree, Wang Erhai opened the door and got out.

This time Wang Changgen didn't keep muttering nonstop, didn't object to anything further.

That was because he really was dizzy, really starving.

He really needed some candy to tide himself over.

Before long, Wang Erhai returned with a big pack of Wangshi Milk Candy.

Additionally, he conveniently bought some gifts at a nearby maternal and infant products store.

Baby clothes, baby cream and such, just bought some at random.

He didn't understand these things either, and had come in a rush, so he could only buy randomly.

Wang Changgen's hands tearing open the Wangshi Milk Candy wrapper were trembling.

He popped the candy in his mouth, and after a while, his dizziness finally eased somewhat.

Past ten o'clock at night, Wang Erhai carrying Wang Changgen, finally arrived at the postpartum center where Du Xiaojuan was staying.

Wang Changgen had just gotten out of the car when he couldn't help muttering complaints:

"Bought such a big villa but won't live in it, insist on staying at someone's postpartum center? Money burning a hole in your pocket? I say your Eldest Sister-in-law is just being fussy!"

Hearing these words, Wang Erhai was quite speechless, and immediately warned him:

"Say these things to me all you want, but don't you dare say them in front of Eldest Sister-in-law!"

Wang Changgen, however, said:

"So what if I say them to her face! She wastes money, am I not allowed to say a couple of words?"

Wang Changgen also said:

"Besides, can the people in here be trusted? Better to have your mom come down and take care of her during confinement!"
