"Grandma, have some water." Taozi handed the mineral water she bought to Granny Lin. Granny Lin declined twice, but then accepted it without further courtesy. "Thank you, young lady, you are good people," Granny Lin said. "It’s nothing, you’re being too polite," Taozi replied. "You should be. Are you husband and wife? Your children are so grown up, that’s wonderful. You will surely have a happy life in the future." She looked at Shen Siyuan and then glanced at Dou Dou and Tang Tang. Taozi heard this, grinned and didn’t explain, she walked straight towards Shen Siyuan. "Let’s go," she said. Taozi didn’t interact much with Granny Lin nor did she leave her any money or anything. After all, they were about to visit Lu Zimo’s grandfather, and giving Granny Lin money now wouldn’t necessarily be accepted, plus she didn’t have any cash on her. Shen Siyuan looked at Lu Zimo beside him. Upon hearing this, Lu Zimo walked ahead. Seeing this, Dou Dou struggled to get down from Shen Siyuan’s shoulder. Shen Siyuan didn’t insist and put her down directly. Seeing this, Tang Tang didn’t want Shen Siyuan to carry her either and got down too, then quickly caught up with Dou Dou on her short legs. Dou Dou was talking to Lu Zimo at that moment. Previously at the amusement park, she was attracted by the rides and didn’t get the chance to talk to Lu Zimo, but now that she’s out, her curiosity took over. What’s your name? How old are you this year? Is your home far away? Have you played all the amusement park rides, etc.? In short, she was babbling away, more detailed than an official census. Lu Zimo didn’t mind at all. Not only did he patiently answer Dou Dou’s questions, but he also asked her quite a few questions of his own. Only then did he learn that the two wonderful people behind them were not the parents of the two little sisters. Tang Tang couldn’t hear what Dou Dou was saying, nor could she see Lu Zimo, but she could sense him. She watched Dou Dou’s mouth move like a little frog and found it amusing, so she laughed foolishly beside them. "This little sister is so cute, she loves to laugh." "She’s Tang Tang, she’s a fool," Dou Dou looked at Tang Tang sideways. Lu Zimo looked at Tang Tang, scrutinizing her. Her eyes were bright and clear, like a pool of fresh water, her smile as radiant as the sunrise, she didn’t seem like a fool at all. "You’re lying to me, aren’t you? She doesn’t look like a fool." Lu Zimo looked at Dou Dou. "Hehe, I’m just teasing you." Dou Dou honestly admitted it, which made Lu Zimo slightly stunned. Thinking about it, he said, "She’s very cute, you shouldn’t bully her." Hearing this, Dou Dou pouted discontentedly, "I’m not bullying her, Tang Tang is super amazing." In Dou Dou’s mind, Tang Tang was like a super-strong sticky toffee, even the super-awesome Dou Dou often got annoyed by her. Just then, Tang Tang seemed to have noticed something, walked a few steps forward, and bent down to pick up a hundred yuan from the ground. She turned and handed the money to Dou Dou. Dou Dou wasn’t surprised at all, but Lu Zimo exclaimed, "A hundred yuan, such good luck." As he said that, he hurriedly looked down meticulously searching the ground, hoping to find more money, but he was disappointed, not even a single yuan coin was found. Dou Dou accepted the money handed by Tang Tang and inspected it closely. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾※𝙣𝙚𝙩 She didn’t know how much it was but remembered that her Grandpa and Grandma gave her similar-looking lucky money during New Year. So she turned and ran to the outstretched hands of Shen Siyuan and Taozi. "Here is your lucky money." She handed the hundred yuan to Taozi. Actually, when Tang Tang picked up the money, both of them had already seen it, so upon seeing Dou Dou handing over the money, Taozi wasn’t surprised at all and directly accepted it. "Kneel and bow your head," Dou Dou retracted her hand. "Si Yuan, did you see that?" Taozi was really annoyed and turned her head to look at Shen Siyuan. "Don’t ask me, just hit her," Shen Siyuan said calmly. Dou Dou’s eyes widened in shock upon hearing this. At this time, Taozi raised her hand, directly giving her a flick on the head. Dou Dou saw this and instantly wanted to transform into her ghost form, but found she couldn’t, her little head was hit quite hard. Covering her head, with a face full of grievance, she looked at Shen Siyuan: "Big brother is a big bad egg." "Your aunt hit you, what does that have to do with me?" Shen Siyuan suppressed laughter as he spoke. "Hmph, don’t think I don’t know, it was your doing," Dou Dou said angrily. "Serves you right for being naughty. Taozi reached out and "seized" the hundred yuan from Dou Dou’s hand. Then waved at Tang Tang, "I’ll buy you some snacks." Tang Tang showed a silly smile, full of excitement, seemingly hearing Taozi’s words. "Eh, did you hear what I said?" Taozi was greatly surprised. Can you selectively hear too? "She didn’t hear, she saw it," Shen Siyuan explained from the side. "What do you mean?" Taozi was a bit confused. "Even if I explained, you wouldn’t understand." "Why do I feel like you’re as bad as Dou Dou?" Taozi said discontentedly. Dou Dou nearby immediately glared sideways at Shen Siyuan upon hearing this, as if saying, we’re in this together. In fact, Shen Siyuan wasn’t wrong. Tang Tang indeed "saw" it, she had a unique vision, so she saw the color waves around Taozi when she spoke, so as long as she mimicked the wave, she could understand what Taozi was saying. It’s not unheard of, for example, when Ruan Hongzhuang sang, Tang Tang perfectly replicated her. So when Taozi said she chooses when to listen, it was true, all depending on her mood. The group laughed and joked as they walked forward, Lu Zimo’s face was also full of smiles along the way, but his brows still carried unresolved worries. Perhaps for convenience, Lu Zimo’s grandfather chose Minxing Hospital, which is the cheapest and closest to home. The hospital was very old, reportedly its predecessor was a factory hospital for state-owned enterprise employees, later the state-owned factory closed down, and the hospital was restructured into today’s Minxing Hospital. The hospital is not small in size, but it only has two four-story buildings. The various departments are fairly complete, but there are very few people, with the most people being in the dental department, because it was much cheaper than outside, and basically all the patients were elderly, with hardly any young people. As soon as Shen Siyuan entered, he smelled an unpleasant scent, not the disinfectant smell, but a sort of stale odor. Many elderly individuals were moving throughout the hospital, their voices particularly loud, making the environment quite noisy, but no one seemed to mind. "Are all these people here for treatment?" Taozi asked with a bit of confusion. She noticed some elderly people seemed full of energy, not like they were sick, some were even sprawling in corners loudly snoring. "No, they are here to cool off," Shen Siyuan took a glance and pinpointed the issue. This was just like how many elderly people liked to hang out in malls to enjoy the air conditioning. Even though Minxing Hospital is old, its air conditioning was very effective, the moment one entered, it felt like a different world from outside.
