Chapter 405 Childhood Sweetheart 12
“Go back quickly!” Wang Cailian saw that Chen Qing was dirty all over.
Chen Xiaopang just washed his head in the bathroom. He dared not to take a bath for fear of catching a cold again. Chen Qing was the dirtiest. He just put his shoes at the door of the ward and dared not to wear them in.
“Oh, Big Yellow…”
“Take it back and keep it.” Wang Cailian took a look at him, “I don’t like dogs but I can’t drive my son’s benefactor out.”
Before Chen Xiaopang could swallow the soup, he shouted, “Big… Big Yellow! I managed to snatch it from Tang Cao. He wants to keep it too!”
“When you get well, you can see your dog.”
Chen Qing yawned and left. At noon, Chen Xiaopang’s fever was gone. He said that he wanted to go home.
“I’ll take you back if you don’t have a fever at night.” Wang Cailian lied to him. The doctor said that Xiaopang’s inflammation index was very high and he could not get rid of the fever for a day or two.
In the afternoon, Chen Qing came again. He was clean but he was flustered.
“Darling, I’m screwed! Dad and Mom are coming.”
Wang Cailian was watching two children play checkers. She thought she heard it wrong, “What are you saying? Who’s coming?”
“Our parents!”
Wang Cailian’s parents died when she was very young. She was brought up by her uncle and aunt. So her father-in-law and mother-in-law, that is, Chen Xiaopang’s grandparents were coming.
“Are my grandparents coming?” Chen Xiaopang asked happily.
Chen Qing sighed, “They are probably already on the plane.”
“Do they know what happened to Xiaopang?” Wang Cailian frowned.
They had always been frugal. They thought that the plane was unsafe. But they even came by plane this time. They must know something happened to Xiaopang.
“The housemaid said something!”
In the morning, when the housemaid was cleaning the house, Xiaopang’s grandpa called. The housemaid said something about Xiaopang, so Xiaopang’s grandpa was anxious. When Chen Qing received the call, they were already at the airport.
“Zhao Ying, my grandparents are coming!” Chen Xiaopang didn’t know that his father was already in a mess. He said to Zhao Ying happily, “They must have brought me sticky bean buns and sausages. They are delicious!”
Zhao Ying nodded at once, “Then you should get better soon, or Aunt won’t let you eat.”
In the evening, Chen Xiaopang began to have a fever again. The doctor prescribed the medicine. Chen Xiaopang fell asleep in a daze after eating. Chen Qing went to the airport to meet his parents with Zhao Ying.
“When you go to bed at night, remember to see Ying.” Wang Cailian said when they left.
She wanted to accompany Xiaopang in the hospital, but she couldn’t let Zhao Ying stay. She wanted Zhao Ying to go to school tomorrow, but Zhao Ying didn’t want to. She wanted to come to the hospital to accompany Xiaopang.
When Chen Qing and Zhao Ying picked Xiaopang’s grandparents up, Grandpa said.
“Where’s my grandson?”
Then he continued to say.
“Why didn’t you get kidnapped?”
Chen Qing is speechless.
“Is this Ying?” Grandma smiled and pulled Zhao Ying, “The last time I saw you, you were so small. Then your family moved to the city. We have not seen for a long time.”
Zhao Ying greeted politely, “Hello, Grandpa and Grandma!”
Zhao Ying continued to say, “Don’t worry, Grandma. Xiaopang is all right. But he has a fever and can’t go home yet!”
“Hum!” Of course, they knew. Chen Qing had made it clear on the phone.
Chen Qing laughed, “Let’s go home first. I’ll take you to the hospital tomorrow morning.”
“I’m going now!” Grandpa said.
“Dad, it’s not time to visit. The hospital is closed.” Chen Qing advised him, “Besides, what are you going to do now? Xiaopang is sleeping. Are you going to wake him up?”
Grandma took Zhao Ying and walked away, saying, “I’m not messing around with you. I’m going back to make something delicious for Xiaopang…”
“Dad?”
Grandpa glared at Chen Qing and said, “Do you want to stay here?”
If it weren’t for Zhao Ying, Grandpa would have scolded Chen Qing to death along the way. After returning home, Zhao Ying took a bath in the room. Grandpa picked up his slippers and beat Chen Qing. Chen Qing ran around the house but he dared not to shout.
“What did I say?” Grandpa was tired. So he sat on the sofa and scolded, “Yanjing is so big. There are all kinds of people. They even kidnapped my grandson!”
Chen Qing said weakly, “Dad, what they wanted to kidnap is the child of the Tang Family. We haven’t been into the eyes of those kidnappers!”
“What do you mean? Do you want them to pay attention to you?” Grandpa smashed his slippers on Chen Qing’s head, “Apart from money, what do you have?”
“Dad, don’t say that!” Chen Qing sent the slippers to the old man, “It’s really an accident this time. Those kidnappers were not professional…”
The old man interrupted him, “What? Are there any part-time kidnappers now?”
“I mean, they used to be farmers in the country. They steal because they are lazy. They see that people who kidnap children from rich families can make a lot of money in the movies, so they also kidnap others.”
Those were what the police told Chen Qing. They interrogated the three kidnappers. They all had criminal records, but the most serious was stealing electric cars. This time they wanted to make a lot of money. They thought it’s the safest to kidnap children from rich families.
They saw Tang Cao on TV. It was the activity of Caesar. Seeing someone on the Internet commenting on Tang Cao’s identity background, they recorded it. They found an opportunity to kidnap Tang Cao, but Chen Xiaopang ran into it unluckily and was taken away together…
“Because of this, they were inexperienced and soon discovered.” Chen Qing said, “If it weren’t for your grandson’s own ability to run away, we would have brought him back earlier.”
Grandpa was angry again, “My grandson is smart and knows how to help himself! If you are kidnapped, you must be stupid and cry there.”
Chen Qing hummed twice. The old man looked at him, “Don’t pretend to be okay. I’m going to take Xiaopang back this time. You say the countryside is not good. OK! Then you can buy a house in our city. Your family can live in the city by then.”
“Dad… Stop talking that!” Chen Qing frowned, “Is this such a simple thing? Why don’t you ask Xiaopang?”
The old man ignored him and saw a yellow dog running down the stairs.
“Is this the dog that saved my grandson?”
Chen Qing saw that the clean dog who had eaten a big can and slept as soon as it came home ran to the old man in full swing.
Big Yellow sat down and tilted its head.
Then it barked.
“How obedient it is!” The old man’s eyes brightened. He touched the dog’s head and praised, “You are a good dog!”
Big Yellow whined twice coquettishly.
Then he barked at Chen Qing.
Big Yellow kept barking.
Chen Qing is speechless.
“What did you do to it?” The old man asked.
Was it because he took it to the pet hospital for physical examination and injection? Chen Qing thought it’s wrong. It’s very friendly to him in the afternoon…
Big Yellow continued to bark. Seeing that Chen Qing didn’t move, it stood up and ran to the cupboard door near the kitchen.
Chen Qing understood that it was hungry。
There were cans and dog food in the cupboard. Chen Qing bought the most expensive ones.
“It’s smart!” Seeing Big Yellow begin to eat cans, Grandpa praised, “It is smarter than that the big yellow dog in our village.”
After eating, Big Yellow ran to the door and continued to bark at Chen Qing.
“It’s going to pee.” The old man stood up and said, “I’ll go!”
Chen Qing was busy bringing the tow rope to Big Yellow. He persuaded, “Dad, it’s so late. Let me go. You don’t know the way. You can’t find your way home.”
“Here are just a few big houses. How can I not find it?” The old man shouted, “Give it to me! I’ll go.”
“Shall I go with you?” Chen Qing handed the rope to his father.
The old man glared at him, “I don’t want to go with you.”
“Dad…” Chen Qing didn’t know whether to cry or to laugh, “It’s the first time for Big Yellow to go out. I have to follow. You can go by yourself tomorrow, okay?”
Grandma waited for Zhao Ying to fall asleep and then went downstairs. She saw Chen Qing and his father go out with a dog. She went to the kitchen to soak the pickles and prepare the flour. She planned to make dumplings for Xiaopang tomorrow morning.
About half an hour later, she heard the barking of dogs and the scolding of the old man outside.
“Dad, are you okay?” Chen Qing’s face turned pale with fear and chased the old man in.
Grandpa with a red face shouted to Grandma who came out of the kitchen, “Give Big Yellow a big bone we brought!”
Big Yellow barked and went around Grandpa two times to show thanks.
Grandma saw Chen Qing sweating and asked him to take a bath and change clothes, “Didn’t you go to walk the dog? Why is it like a war?”
“It’s really a war!” Chen Qing ran upstairs, “Wait for me, and I’ll talk to you later.”
When he had cleaned himself up and went downstairs, his father had finished.
Specifically, when they walked their dog, they met a Husky without a dog rope. Grandpa had never seen such a dog! At a glance, he thought it was a wolf. He was scared.
Chen Qing told him the dog’s name was Husky and it could pull a sled. Grandpa wanted to have a close look. But Husky suddenly barked at him crazily. The stupid master of Husky was still laughing and saying that his dog was good and wouldn’t bite others.
As a result, the stupid dog opened his mouth and bit its master first. Then the master screamed and ran away. The dog turned its head and tried to bite his father. Chen Qing hurried up to catch it. Before he could act, Big Yellow had rushed up.
The two dogs bit each other. Husky limped away.
“Big Yellow is better than you!” The old man touched the dog’s head and said, “It is our benefactor!”
Chen Qing’s mouth twitched and he said, “Dad, who can consider a dog a benefactor?”
“Why not?” The old man shouted, “It saved my grandson. It just saved you and me. It’s really our benefactor!”
Big Yellow was regarded as the benefactor of the Chen Family, so it didn’t sleep in the kennel prepared by Chen Qing downstairs at night. It swaggered into the bedroom with the old man and slept at the end of their bed.
In the morning, Grandpa and Grandma got up before dawn. Grandpa went to walk the dog and Grandma went to chop dumpling stuffing. When Chen Qing yawned and went downstairs, he saw Zhao Ying stand on a stool and learn to make dumplings with his mother.
