Rebirth after the college entrance examination

Chapter 220 Knowledge cannot be obtained suddenly.
"Jia Jia."

"Xiao... Aunt Wei."

Upon hearing this address, Wei Xiaofang's expression did not change at all. She smiled and told her to rest, "Don't eat anything, don't rush. I'll talk to the old lady for a while."

Then Lin Jiajia sat obediently to the side, showing her good behavior.

Xia Kangning glanced at his eldest son behind his glasses and saw him grinning foolishly, which gave him a headache.

The old lady lay on the hospital bed, her smile deepening, and said weakly, "It's the New Year, and you've all been through so much. This time, it's all thanks to Xia An."

She had to catch her breath after saying just two words, so Wei Xiaofang laughed loudly and said, "What skills could he possibly have..." Then she started chatting about everyday matters.

Lin Jiajia was peeling oranges and apples beside her.

Xia Kangning exchanged a few pleasantries with Grandma Lin, then left the ward under the pretext of going to the restroom, giving Xia An a wink before leaving.

……

First floor entrance.

Xia An took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a puff.

Xia Kangning frowned and said, "I knew you used to secretly smoke at school. I thought you had quit. Why have you started again?"

Xia An smiled and said, "Not addictive. I've been too tired these past two days, so I'm just cracking one on to relieve my fatigue."

"You... ah, I don't even know what to say about you."

Xia Kangning paused. Well, he had originally wanted to scold his son, but seeing that his son looked really tired, he softened his words.

Xia An grinned and said, "Then I won't say anything."

Xia Kangning snorted: "I can't control what you do, but your mother and I have the absolute right to express our opinions on this matter."

Xia An said, "Okay, then please give your opinion."

Xia Kangning choked for a moment, then said irritably, "You don't like Xiaoyouzi anymore?"

Xia An exclaimed in surprise, "How is that possible?"

Xia Kangning said angrily, "Then what are you doing? It's so indecent."

"Indecent?" Xia An chuckled. "Dad, that's a term used to describe women."

"Then you are cheating, which is irresponsible."

"Scum."

"Correct."

Xia An asked sincerely, "Dad, did you ever fantasize about having three wives and four concubines when you were young?"

"fart!"

Xia Kangning glared at him: "Your mother is probably going to beat me to death."

That's true. Xia An smiled and said, "What about before you met my mother?"

Xia Kangning was taken aback, realizing that his son had grown up and there were some things he could talk about.

All my thoughts turned into a wistful gaze towards the horizon: "Knowing that it cannot be obtained suddenly, I entrust my lingering echo to the mournful wind, for it cannot be obtained by seeking."

Who's called a literary figure? My dad.

Xia An chuckled to himself for a moment and said, "But I can ask for it."

Xia Kangning naturally knew what he meant and was speechless for a moment.

Finally, he said, "Don't be too confident, or you might end up losing everything. What era are we living in? You know that Xiaoyou is a very smart and outstanding girl."

"I know what I'm doing, but Jiajia is great too."

Xia Kangning was somewhat impressed by his son; how could he say such things so openly?
"You called her 'Auntie,' so how are your mother and I supposed to behave if you treat her like that?"

"What? You and Mom aren't planning to live with me forever?"

"..."

Xia Kangning was so angry that he wanted to smoke a cigarette, but he didn't.

Aren't you afraid of making Xiaoyouzi sad?

"My mom said she'll take care of it."

"..."

Xia Kangning was completely speechless. After hesitating for a long time, he let out a long sigh.

Smoke less. Take care of your health.

In the afternoon, Lin Jiajia urged Xia An to go home and rest, saying that even if he came back, he should change his clothes first.

Xia An thought it made sense and went home without hesitation.

Xiao Youzi was at home, helping Wei Xiaofang pick vegetables.

There was still a lot of leftover food from New Year's Eve, but it was all at the restaurant downstairs. Wei Xiaofang received his call asking her to come back, so she decided to cook a meal at home that night.

Xia An washed her hands, went to the kitchen, and hugged Xiao Youzi from behind in front of her mother.

Wei Xiaofang pretended not to see it, and Zuo You wasn't too embarrassed. She brushed her hair aside and asked Xia An to help her roll up her sleeves.

"Is Jiajia feeling better?"

Hearing her mother call her "sister," Xia An looked at her mother in confusion.

Wei Xiaofang didn't see his gaze, but Zuo You did.

"The aunt said she and that uncle had separated a long time ago, and since he was so young, it wasn't appropriate for her to call him 'aunt'."

Long live Mom!

Xia An smiled and said, "She's much better. The old lady kept saying she wanted to go home, and she's in good spirits since she got back. Why don't you go see her in a few days?"

Zuo You still has more than a dozen scenes to film in Hengdian. She will resume work on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year and is expected to film for half a month. After that, she will enter the training camp arranged by Xia An to prepare for the "Supernova" talent show.

Just as she was about to agree, Wei Xiaofang spat at Xia An, saying, "What 'Hu Qin'? Just give her your regards, that's enough. Your dad and I can go and see her. It's the New Year, do you want Xiaoyouzi to go to the hospital and get sick?"

Xia An chuckled, and Zuo You obediently said, "Okay, then I won't go."

Wei Xiaofang: "That's right, we weren't very familiar with each other to begin with."

Xia An: "..."

A little while later, Wu Sufeng came up from downstairs. The two mothers asked them to go outside to talk, so Xia An led Xiaoyouzi back into the house.

The acrylic painting on the easel had long since dried and had been sitting there as a decorative piece.

A jade bowl, two pieces of fruit.

Where should Lin Jiajia be placed?

Zuo You was hugged by him, and she gave him a shy look, whispering, "There's no lock on the door to this room, so don't do anything."

Xia An groped Xiao Youzi all over and discovered that she was on her period. He asked sullenly, "What day is it?"

Seeing his expression, Zuo You covered her mouth and laughed: "The next day."

Xia An counted on her fingers and laughed, "It's alright, I can still have a bite before I leave."

He sat on the edge of the bed, with Zuo You sitting on his lap.

Looking at the painting, Zuo You murmured, "Did you and Le Ning exchange New Year's greetings?"

Xia An thought for a moment and said, "I made a phone call."

Zuo You said, "She also sent me a congratulatory text message."

Xia An inhaled the fragrance of her hair and whispered behind her neck, "Do you hate her?"

Zuo You shook his head.

Xia An asked, "Do you have anyone you dislike?"

Zuo You nodded: "Yes, you do."

After dinner, Xia An left again. Instead of going directly to the hospital, she called ahead and, after learning that there were no guests visiting, went to Le Ning's house.

He bowed to Zhou Ting and Le Yuqun to wish them a Happy New Year, hugged Le Ning, and then sat down for a brief chat, but did not invite them to stay for a meal.

He told me about Grandma Lin.

Upon learning that Lin Jiajia was his former aunt, had a good relationship with his parents, and had no other relatives, Zhou Ting and Le Yuqun praised him for being a thoughtful person.

Le Ning blinked her big eyes, sensing something was off from Xia An's feigned compassionate expression.

As she saw him downstairs, Le Ning asked, "Is your aunt pretty?"

Xia An pressed her down in the stairwell and kissed her hard: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Le Ning giggled and didn't say anything more. "Go on, I'm going to see Zhou Zhou tomorrow."

Xia An chuckled and reminded her, "Don't bring her pork knuckle."

Le Ning laughed even harder.

On the fourth day, the person delivering the medicinal herbs arrived.

Just before they got off the highway, the other party called Old Man Luo.

Old Luo called Xia An and asked him to pick him up from the mountain.

The address left at the time was Hewan Village.

On the way, Old Man Luo asked Xia An mysteriously, "I'll prescribe you some medicine to strengthen your body, do you want it?"

"want."
