"Sister-in-law, I've made you some brown sugar ginger water. Drink some to warm yourself up. There are also these snacks; help yourselves to whatever you like."

Xia Yichu took out all the snacks and placed them on the table.

"Okay, thank you, Xiao Chu."

The two thanked Xia Yichu, but Zhou Miaoying, smelling the brown sugar ginger water, didn't really want to drink it.

Not wanting to refuse Xia Yichu's kindness, she picked it up and took a few sips. Then she found that it tasted quite good, and she didn't feel like vomiting.

"Xiao Chu, that really is the nanny I hired."

Xia Zhiqian saw that Xia Yichu had finally sat down and had time to listen to him speak.

"right"

Xia Yichu thought highly of Tie Zhu; he was observant, didn't look down on the elderly, and was very considerate.

"Can he take good care of Grandpa? He's a grown man, so clumsy and rough."

Xia Zhiqian looked worriedly towards the bathroom, but then felt relieved knowing his older brother was there.

"I think he's a good person. Isn't there an old saying that you can't judge a book by its cover? How can you judge a book by its cover?"

"Yes, Xiao Chu is right."

Xia Zhiqian doubted whatever Xia Yichu said, but his grandmother would always say that Xiao Chu was right, so he didn't take his grandmother's words seriously.

"Brother Zhiqian, if you're worried, you can stay and observe today."

"That's fine, I don't have anything planned today."

"Grandma, Shizhou is having his hand checked at the hospital today. Since my two older brothers and sister-in-law are here, I'd like to go to the hospital to see Shizhou."

Because it was the nanny's first day at their home, Xia Yichu was worried about leaving the two elderly people alone with her, so she didn't dare leave. Now that someone was home, she could finally go to the hospital to see Pei Shizhou.

"Of course, you should go quickly. Don't worry about your grandfather and me here."

"Oh dear, daughters grow up and leave home; keeping them will only breed resentment," Xia Zhiqian said sarcastically, as Zhou Miaoying pinched his waist.

"Xiao Chu, your brother doesn't know how to talk, don't mind him."

At this moment, Grandpa Xia was carried out of the bathroom by Xia Zhiheng, while Tiezhu stayed in the bathroom to pack Grandpa Xia's things.

"grandfather"

"grandfather"

Everyone stood up, and Xia Zhiqian quickly followed to help. Xia Zhiheng carefully placed Grandpa Xia on the bed.

Everyone carefully checked on Grandpa's condition and saw that his complexion was rosy, which put their minds at ease.

"Grandpa, did you enjoy your bath?"

Xia Yichu asked softly. Grandpa Xia smiled and nodded, "Comfortable, this young man is quite meticulous in his work."

After hearing this, Xia Yichu was even more convinced that Tiezhu was a reliable person. It was just best to know his family situation; with spies around, it was always better to be cautious.

"Brother Zhiqian, are you aware of Tiezhu's family situation?"

Xia Zhiqian shook his head. He was so busy at the time that he didn't have time to think about anything else. He didn't even know that the nanny was a man, let alone these other things.

"I can ask someone."

The person was found by his men; they only needed to make one phone call to know everything. At this moment, Tie Zhu came out of the bathroom, holding a washed and wrung-out towel, ready to dry Grandpa Xia's hair.

Xia Zhiqian took the towel and said to Tie Zhu, "Let me do it. You've been busy all day. Your clothes are all wet, and it's cold. Go change your clothes!"

Tie Zhu said embarrassedly, "No need, it will dry in a bit. I'll go wash Uncle's clothes."

Tie Zhu only brought one set of clothes with him. He took off his outer clothes when he was helping Grandpa Xia take a bath, so only his inner shirt was a little wet.

"Tiezhu, it's so cold, just put the clothes in the washing machine."

Grandma Xia spoke up, and the others quickly nodded in agreement.

"Auntie, it's not cold. Washing by hand will get you cleaner."

After speaking, Tie Zhu went out to wash clothes, leaving the people in the room looking at each other in bewilderment.

Grandma Xia broke the silence, saying, "Zhiqian, go buy Tiezhu two sets of clothes, something warm. He's only wearing two thin layers in the dead of winter; I feel cold just looking at him."

"Okay, Grandma. Sister-in-law, Aying, I'll give you a ride home."

Su Qingyan has been sleeping at Xia Zhiqian's house for the past two days. Xia Zhiheng is worried about her taking care of her son alone at home, so Aunt Chunhua can help take care of them.

Xia Yichu checked the time and said, "Then, Grandpa and Grandma, I'm going to the hospital too."

"Hospital, Xiao Chu, what are you doing at the hospital?" Grandpa Xia asked anxiously.

"Grandpa, Shizhou went to the hospital to have his hand checked this morning. I'm going to the hospital to get checked out, and I'll come back later."

"Okay, then be careful and take good care of yourself. Oh, by the way, have Zhiqian take you to the hospital, Zhiqian."

Xia Yichu had no objection as long as Xia Zhiqian was willing to take her to the hospital.

"Okay, Grandpa. Brother, you take care of Grandpa and Grandma for now. I'll be right back after I buy the clothes."

Don't worry.

Xia Zhiqian first drove Su Qingyan and the others home, and then took Xia Yichu to the hospital.

"arrive"

Before getting out of the car, Xia Yichu said, "Brother Zhiqian, Uncle Wu said that the spy confessed that there is another spy named Baige who is lurking in Kyoto."

For your grandparents' safety, go back and quickly find out about Tiezhu's background.

Fearing that Xia Zhiqian might not take this matter seriously, he specifically mentioned the spy incident.

"Okay, I understand."

Xia Zhiqian agreed with a serious expression; he had heard about this from his uncle. His uncle had told them to be careful, fearing that spies might be targeting the Xia family.

With Deputy Director Xia Zhiheng around, Xia Yichu wasn't too worried. She went into the hospital and asked a nurse where the surgery department was.

Finally, we saw Grandpa and Grandma Zhou in the corridor on the third floor. The two of them were sitting on chairs with expressionless faces.

"Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou"

The two elderly people in the Zhou family were very happy to see Xia Yichu. They stood up, and Grandma Zhou took Xia Yichu's hand.

"Xiao Chu, you're here!"

"Grandma Zhou, where's Shizhou? How's his hand?"

Xia Yichu asked impatiently, although she knew that her spatial water was a good thing and had been giving Pei Shizhou a lot of it in the past two days, she just didn't know if it would have any effect on his hands.

"Mark and Wenbin are performing surgery on him; they've been inside for an hour."

Xia Yichu asked in surprise, "So fast? How were the test results this morning?"

"Wenbin said that Azhou was recovering well and that there was a high chance of success in performing the surgery now. So, he immediately asked the hospital director to arrange an operating room for Azhou to have the surgery."

Zhou Wenbin was worried that things might get complicated if he delayed, mainly because he wasn't skilled enough and still needed Mark to perform the surgery. He was currently assisting Mark in the operating room.

"Xiao Chu, come and sit down. Wenbin said it would take at least three hours."

Grandma Zhou pulled Xia Yichu over to sit down, and Grandpa Zhou also sat down next to her.

"By the way, Xiao Chu, are your grandparents feeling any better?"

"They're doing well. My grandma even went out shopping with Xiaochuan this morning."

"That's good. Now that you're in the hospital, who will take care of your grandparents?"

"Both of my cousins ​​are here, and the nanny that my brother Zhiqian hired arrived this morning."

"Everyone's busy, hiring a caregiver is a good idea. I already told your grandparents to hire one to take care of them, but your grandma insisted on not doing it. If she had listened to me, this wouldn't have happened."

The Xia couple has a substantial retirement pension, more than enough to hire a caregiver. Xia Zhiqian and Luo Hao are also in business, and Xia Zhiheng and Xia Guoan have decent jobs. If Grandma Xia were willing, a whole host of people would be eager to pay for a caregiver for them.

Wu Jingshu didn't know what she was thinking. They had worked hard all their lives, and as long as they didn't become a burden on their children, they should enjoy life in their old age.
