Let's just drift through life together in this quick transmigration story.

The next morning, Xiong Ronghua drove Xiong Bufan to the capital.

Cui Wudi and Xiong Tianci got up early to take them to the village entrance. There were still three hours before class started, so the two little rascals got ready and went to school.

The two kids are getting tutoring at home, and they've already learned more than what they were taught in kindergarten. Once they finish this school year, they'll start preparing to skip to the third grade.

They are currently taking classes with second-grade students. Those who can keep up with the curriculum will skip to third grade next school year, while those who cannot will start from first grade again.

Liu Jianping got up to make breakfast. Xiong Bufan and Xiong Ronghua weren't home, so she could finally breathe a sigh of relief. She knew how she had been these past two days. That Xiong Ronghua had been watching her constantly, making her feel uneasy. She always felt like Xiong Ronghua was secretly plotting against her. An Qingnuan would hit her if she didn't do something to her liking, and her face had been swollen the whole time.

Cui Daqiang went up the mountain to find firewood. He was used to going up the mountain every day. It was better than staying at home listening to An Qingnuan read and then beating her. It wasn't that he was unfilial to Liu Jianping. It was just that he couldn't beat An Qingnuan at all. If he forcibly interfered, they would only get beaten up together!

"Better to die than to die myself," so let Liu Jianping take the beating. I'll make it up to her by being filial to her.

After a four-hour drive, we finally arrived in Beijing. The surrounding area consisted of two-story buildings or even taller ones. Cars were not yet common, and the streets were mostly filled with bicycles. Xiong Bufan curiously peered out the car window.

Xiong Ronghua: "Sister, pull your head back in. It's dangerous to stick your head out."

"Ok."

After the two arrived at the hospital, the nurse wheeled Xiong Bufan inside and began taking X-rays and discussing the treatment. Xiong Ronghua watched every step closely. Kongkong was even more nervous than Xiong Bufan. They had never been to a human hospital before and had no idea how to treat him.

After administering anesthesia to Xiong Bufan, the doctor slowly used a scalpel to cut open the collapsed area...

When Xiong Bufan opened his eyes again, all he could see was white. Xiong Ronghua brought him a mirror, and Xiong Bufan saw that his face was covered in gauze. He tried to touch his face with his hands, but he couldn't lift his arms at all.

Xiong Ronghua: "Sister, sleep a little longer. The anesthesia hasn't worn off yet. I'll go buy you some food."

Hearing this, Xiong Bufan was indeed a little sleepy. "Okay, remember to buy more!" Xiong Bufan drifted off to sleep.

Xiong Ronghua tucked the blanket in, then turned and left the ward to buy food. After surgery, one needs to eat light meals; a little porridge wouldn't be enough, so she needed to buy a bucket, along with some side dishes…

Someone quietly slipped into the ward, looked at the sleeping Xiong Bufan, and poked Xiong Bufan's hand that was receiving an IV drip. "She doesn't seem to have anything special about her. Why is she so concerned? She doesn't look like her daughter or mother!"

Xiong Bufan suddenly opened her eyes. The anesthesia hadn't worn off yet, otherwise she would have slapped this guy for sneaking in and disturbing her sleep. "I'm your father."

Why can't you speak properly?

Reading really does help; even Xiong Bufan has started to be polite. "You're disturbing my rest. Get out. I don't know you."

"I'll stay here with you!"

Once the anesthesia wore off, Xiong Bufan regained some strength. He pulled out the IV needle, slapped the man across the face, then pulled off the IV tubing and tied the man up like a wild boar, stuffing toilet paper into his mouth.

Xiong Bufan, still wearing a hospital gown, plopped down on the bed. "You think you're so capable? You disturbed me, kept me from sleeping, and then called me rude!"

Fortunately, the hospital room was a private room; otherwise, if someone had seen him, Xiong Bufan would probably have been kicked out of the hospital on charges of causing trouble.

Xiong Ronghua knocked on the door and came in carrying food, only to see this scene. Ignoring the man's pleading eyes, she closed the door and went out, saying to the man carrying the porridge bucket at the door, "You can go back first. I'll call you to collect the bucket when you're done eating."

"Row."

A short while later, the three of them sat down beside the hospital bed. Xiong Bufan calmly drank his porridge, while Xiong Ronghua brought the vegetables and dry food to the side and promptly added rice to Xiong Bufan's bowl. "Sister, you need to eat light food after the surgery, so I bought some porridge and side dishes. The braised pork knuckle and the like are too greasy."

"Okay, you should eat too."

The man next to him seemed to be stunned, just staring at him. Xiong Ronghua coldly said, "If you have nothing to do, go back. Don't pretend you've seen me before! I'll repay this favor."

Man: "You've finally returned to the capital, everyone misses you. You should at least let your family know you're safe."

"Get out, and this matter needs to be kept secret."

Xiong Bufan tossed the IV needle past the man's ear, and the needle slammed into the wall, impossible to pull out. A bead of blood oozed from the man's ear.

Xiong Ronghua: "Go back, and don't tell them you've seen me."

The man hurriedly left the ward. Who knew if the needle and IV tube would pierce his head and pin him to the wall next time? It has to be said, the strange woman next to him was really strong.

Xiong Bufan looked up at Xiong Ronghua, "Do you need me to get rid of him for you?"

"Sister, this is a society governed by law. Don't kill people lightly!"

"Okay, actually, if I could, I would make sure no one could find him."

The young nurse came in to re-administer the IV to Xiong Bufan, but upon hearing the two chatting, she hurriedly left. The two caregivers who had worked together to remove the needle from the wall also left.

A short while later, the head nurse and the attending physician came in with others, gathered around Xiong Bufan's bedside to examine him, and told them that he could be discharged after the seven-day recovery period.

Ignoring everyone around him, Xiong Bufan asked Xiong Ronghua, "Can I eat meat now that I'm discharged from the hospital?"

"can."

"Can I be discharged now?"

Xiong Ronghua: "No, we need to stay in the hospital for observation for a few days!"

Xiong Bufan looks like a somewhat mentally challenged patient, and it's impossible for him to hurt or even kill anyone. This is the head nurse's initial assessment of Xiong Bufan.

After the head nurse scribbled in her notebook, the group of people left in a large procession.

Xiong Ronghua sighed and rummaged through her bag. Xiong Bufan thought it was snacks and his eyes lit up, but he pulled out a few books and a notebook. "Sis, do your homework first!"

Xiong Bufan pointed to her face and said, "I'm a patient!" She was really going all out to avoid doing her homework.

Xiong Ronghua moved a small table in front of her. "It's not your hand that's injured, it won't affect anything. The teachers told me that you've been falling behind in your studies lately, so they asked me to take a look."

Those two old men would talk nonsense all the time. Xiong Bufan scratched his head haphazardly, took out a pen, and started practicing calligraphy.

Xiong Ronghua sat next to Xiong Bufan, looking at the textbooks Xiong Bufan wasn't reading to get a sense of Xiong Bufan's learning progress. After finishing looking at them, he took out a book on "Political Economy" from his bag and started reading.

After glancing inside and finding nothing amiss, the on-duty nurse continued her patrol of the wards.

After staying in the hospital for a few days, Xiong Bufan attended classes for a few days. He originally thought that coming to Beijing for surgery would allow him to skip classes and homework, but it turned out that he couldn't escape them at all.

Cui Wudi and Xiong Tianci were taking extra classes at home every day, trying to keep up with the knowledge taught by their teachers.

Liu Jianping and Cui Daqiang were finally able to sit down for dinner. The food was noticeably less good than when Xiong Ronghua and Xiong Bufan were at home. However, no one argued or fought at the dinner table. Liu Jianping even showed unusual concern for Cui Wudi, and the house was unusually peaceful.

After finishing dinner, Xiong Tianci went back to his room to do his homework. Liu Jianping, worried about wasting electricity, made a fuss about turning off the lights before eight o'clock. After turning off the lights, he put on his fur coat and went to visit neighbors. Going to bed at this time was too early, and watching TV would waste electricity, so going out to visit neighbors was a good idea.

The village chief tapped his pipe and asked Zhao Shuxian to pour water for Liu Jianping. Zhao Shuxian looked unwell but still poured him a cup of water. Two tea leaves were settled at the bottom of the cup, proving that it was tea.

Liu Jianping held a cup in one hand and rubbed the bottom of the cup with the other. "Brother, am I disturbing you by coming so late?"

"How could that be? Tell me where Ronghua has been lately, and if she has any money-making ideas. I haven't seen her for several days." Although Liu Jianping was a good person, he couldn't stop the village chief's determination to lead the whole village to get rich, so the first thing he did was to inquire about Xiong Ronghua.

"She took Qingnuan to the capital to get her nose checked. If you ask me, as long as it doesn't affect its use, why go to the hospital!"

Zhao Shuxian kept a close eye on them, afraid that Liu Jianping and the village chief would be together again. "Let's not concern ourselves with the affairs of these young people. Ronghua has made a lot of money for our village lately."

"Yes."

……

Liu Jianping went to the village chief's house happily, but returned calmly. Wasn't Zhao Shuxian supposed to go back to her parents' home today? Why is she back so late? This is really bad.
