Chapter 273 Missing
During the New Year holidays, Li Zhuangsheng did not take the initiative to send a text message to Lin Yuehua.

The reason is obvious.

But Lin Yuehua didn't seem to care, probably because she thought Li Zhuangsheng was busy having fun during the New Year, and she rarely took the initiative to disturb him. After all, it was agreed that Li Zhuangsheng would have fun until the fifth day of the New Year.

There was nothing special about her text message, it just told Li Zhuangsheng that her grandmother would have an operation tomorrow. And as always, she stuck to the 70-character limit and would never let the operator take advantage of her by using even one more word.

The original plan for Grandma Lin was to complete the surgery before New Year's Eve, but Grandma Lin was old, so the surgery was delayed for two days, and the expert who invited the flying knife also wanted to celebrate the New Year, so the surgery was postponed to the fourth day of the New Year. Li Zhuangsheng was very responsible for the other party.

Li Zhuangsheng stared at the message for a long time before wiping the snowflakes off the screen, bending slightly to block the snowflakes from hitting the screen again. He reached out to Lin Yuehua to reply, but he could only dryly comfort her not to worry, the expert was very good, and the operation would go smoothly.

County Hospital

The lights in the ward were off. Lin Yuehua was sleeping on a temporary bed rented in the hospital, holding a cell phone in her hand, as if waiting for something.

Not long after, Li Zhuangsheng sent a reply. Lin Yuehua clicked on it and read it word by word, nodded, and couldn't help but reply, saying that she knew, and said that grandma mentioned him again today, and added at the end [no need to reply]. After deleting and reducing, it was exactly 70 words.

Every time Li Zhuangsheng sent her a text message, she couldn't help but reply, but a text message cost ten cents, which was quite expensive, and several dollars would be gone before she knew it, so she could only add a sentence "No need to reply" at the end to forcibly end the conversation.

But each text message can only contain 70 characters at most. Sometimes I have too much to say and the words are not enough, so after deleting them, it is reduced to "no need to reply".

Lin Yuehua was not too worried about her grandmother's health, because Li Zhuangsheng said that he had dreamed that her grandmother would recover. Lin Yuehua was not a superstitious person, but Li Zhuangsheng's previous dream was also true, so it should be true this time.

What's more, whatever Li Zhuangsheng said, even if there was no evidence, always made her feel at ease for some unknown reason and made her want to believe it.

The black and white screen emitted a faint fluorescence. She opened Snake, which was the only game on her phone, the other being Tetris.

Lin Yuehua prefers playing Tetris, but this is her grandmother's phone, which is too old and the direction keys are not very effective, so it is not very convenient to play Tetris. But she recently discovered that the number keys can also control the direction of the snake. Having a snake to play is better than nothing.

The accompanying bed is really uncomfortable to sleep on. It is short and narrow, and it is very troublesome to turn over. But after getting used to it, it doesn’t matter anymore. After all, it is a hospital, not a hotel.

She stayed in the hospital to accompany her grandmother on New Year's Eve and stayed there all day on the first day of the new year. However, she went home to look after the store during the day on the second and third days of the new year and came back to the hospital to accompany her in the evening.

Li Zhuangsheng hired a caregiver for Grandma Lin and paid her three times the overtime pay for the New Year, but Lin Yuehua was worried that the caregiver was not thoughtful enough and was still concerned.

Moreover, Lin Yuehua didn't like the nurse very much. She was like Xianglin Sao, telling her misfortunes all day long: her husband went to the south to work as a seafarer in the 1980s, but he found a new lover and never came back. Her son, whom she had raised with great difficulty, died of electric shock when he went fishing in the river just after they got married. Her daughter-in-law went to the hospital to have an abortion when she was three months pregnant and ran away. She has remarried for five or six years now.

Lin Yuehua felt sorry for the other person at first, but the other person would tell her grandmother her unfortunate story almost every day. But her grandmother could empathize with him, and every time she told him, they would cry and hug each other, and even the doctor reminded her many times. At least Lin Yuehua was here, and she could stop the caregiver from speaking when he wanted to, so as not to affect her grandmother's physical and mental health.

For Lin Yuehua, Chinese New Year has been a rather boring event since her parents passed away. It is no different from any other time except eating better and watching the Spring Festival Gala in the evening. However, the cable TV signal at home is not very good and the screen is always a little distorted when watching the programs.

Grandma would buy a few more pounds of meat, some melon seeds and fruits from the farmer's market. She used to cut window paper-cuts...but in the past two years, her eyesight has become a little blurry, so she doesn't cut much anymore.

Li Zhuangsheng invited Lin Yuehua to his home during the Spring Festival, and even tempted her to sleep in the same bed with the school hunk, but Lin Yuehua was worried about her grandmother and declined. Although she felt a little sorry.

She didn't want to sleep in the same bed with Li Xiu Yu, but it would be lively and happy to spend the New Year with Li Zhuangsheng. Li Zhuangsheng would definitely take her to experience many interesting things.

Forget it, there is still a long time to come, we can wait until next year, the year after next... there will always be a chance. Didn't he tell her on New Year's Eve that they would set off fireworks together next year?

Fireworks... I haven't set them off for many years, I just watched others set them off. Actually, no matter who sets them off, you can see the same fireworks, and there are no names written on the fireworks, but there is always a difference between setting them off by yourself and others.

Li Zhuangsheng is so rude. He didn't call her for several days. He didn't even take the initiative to say "Happy New Year". How could he forget about his master after the New Year?
Today, grandma mentioned him on her own initiative, saying that she would have to undergo surgery tomorrow, and why Li Zhuangsheng didn't come to see her. That fortune teller was really nonsense... Now grandma treats him as her grandson-in-law in her words and deeds!

But she didn't say she likes your granddaughter, so don't worry about it. It would be so embarrassing if she isn't happy!
This fool!

He's really hopeless. Although we can have fun during the New Year, we can't let our hearts run wild. He doesn't even take the initiative to send phone calls or text messages... Next time we meet, I must speak nicely to him!

I made the scarf today and washed his hands several times. My hands were frozen red when I rinsed it!

I had been thinking that I could just give it to him next time we meet, but now it seems I still have to memorize the words for him carefully, and I won’t give it to him if he makes any mistakes!

You've let your heart run wild during the Chinese New Year! You deserve it!

But even though she thought so, Lin Yuehua didn't send him a text message asking him not to play too much and forget about studying. After all, it was Chinese New Year, he had family and relatives, so there must be a lot of fun to do, and Lin Yuehua didn't want to spoil his fun.

Be a little stricter after the New Year, because there are exams after school starts!
Alas, I haven't seen Li Zhuangsheng for several days. We have been together since we sat at the same table. We saw each other all day during the National Day holiday... At most, we would be apart for two days during the monthly holiday, and then we would see each other again.

It’s the first time I haven’t seen him for so many days, and I miss him a lot.

I don’t know if he is thinking about me.
