After hearing what his mother said, Chen Jianmin looked at his mother and said, "Mother, I want to go to Doctor Xie’s house."
"Are you feeling uncomfortable? Also, why did you bring so many things to see Doctor Xie?" Wu Yahui asked.
"Doctor Xie’s granddaughter is my deskmate. She has helped me before. So, I’m going to give her something," Chen Jianmin explained.
Without waiting for his mother to speak, he added, "Mother, I’m going to Ah Li’s house after I visit my deskmate. I will be back later, don’t wait for me to eat."
Knowing that his son always had his own plans, Wu Yahui just nodded and said, "Okay, be careful on the road."
After leaving the house, Chen Jianmin walked quickly to Doctor Xie’s house. Grilled fish won’t taste as good if it’s cooled so he wants to deliver it before it gets cooled.
When he arrived at Doctor Xie’s house, he saw Li Shu washing clothes by the well. He smiled and called her, "Shushu!"
Hearing a familiar voice, Li Shu raised her head and saw Chen Jianmin waving to her. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Jianmin, what brings you here? The door is unlocked, come in."
Chen Jianmin nodded to her, opened the door and walked into the house. He put the bamboo baskets on the balcony and said, "Shushu, yesterday I caught some big fish and two hares. I brought some for you to try."
When Li Shu saw what was in the bamboo basket, she was stunned. She thought he was joking when he said he was going to bring her some meat. Unexpectedly, he really sent it over today.
Just as she was stunned, Chen Jianmin was already squatting beside her and putting his hand into the basin.
He took the clothes off her hands and said, "Shushu, you go and have a rest first. I will help you wash. Ah, by the way, there are grilled fish and roasted hare in the small bamboo basket. Go and have a try."
Li Shu glanced at him, took the clothes back, and said, "Jianmin, you don’t have to do this. I can wash the clothes by myself."
Chen Jianmin sighed and refused to let go of the clothes. He looked at her and said helplessly, "Shushu, you look pale. It’s time for you to rest. If you insist on washing these clothes, what should I do if you faint?"
"Be good and listen to me. I’m used to washing clothes at home. Besides, you don’t need to be so polite to me," he added.
Seeing that he insisted on this matter, Li Shu finally nodded and went to rest. She did feel very tired just now, and she felt a little bit of pain in her chest.
She sat on the balcony, smelling the aroma of grilled fish, and asked, "Jianmin, did you grill the fish yourself?"
