Chapter 514: Chapter 216: The Top-grade Classical Prose (Part 8)_3
Wu Zhuoya spoke, and tears began to flow down her cheeks.
Her daughter had suffered great hardships, and the already frail little one was now even more reduced to a bag of bones.
Looking at her lying quietly in the hospital bed, if it weren’t for the rise and fall of her chest and the occasional moans, Wu Zhuoya might have thought—
Pah!
No speaking of such unlucky things.
Her Tiantian was so good, so smart, she definitely would live to a ripe old age!
"Right, Tiantian, you haven’t tried seafood before, have you? Uncle Xu’s daughter-in-law, her hometown is by the sea, heard that you need to get some nutrition, specifically wrote to relatives back home!"
"That thing, sea cucumber, is particularly nourishing, after it arrives, I’ll make it for you to eat!"
Gulp!
Gulp gulp!
He Tiantian, who had needed to be force-fed, suddenly started to swallow greedily.
Wu Zhuoya was always paying attention to her little girl and was stunned by this reaction.
"Mom, can the little one drink by herself now? She, she might be waking up!"
He Weihong was sitting on the other side of the bed, watching over her sister while keeping an eye on the IV drip.
If the medicine in the IV bag was finished, she would go call the nurse.
He Weihong alternated between watching the IV bag and her sister, so she was the first to notice her sister’s abnormality.
"Tiantian? Tiantian!"
Wu Zhuoya called out excitedly, speeding up the feeding of the milk.
But He Tiantian just swallowed intermittently, without opening her eyes.
He Weihong’s eyes rolled around and she suddenly leaned close to He Tiantian’s ear, struggling against salivation, desperately talking about "poisonous" treats—
"Tiantian, next month is my birthday, you know, and during birthdays, you get to eat birthday cake."
"You haven’t tried cream cake yet, have you? Oh, it’s particularly delicious. The cake base is soft and fragrant, and covered with colorful cream, sweet and smooth, a bite to dream about for a year!"
"Just now mom mentioned seafood, yes, steamed prawns, vermicelli scallops, scallion-braised sea cucumber, seafood knot soup... so fresh and delicious, unspeakably tasty!"
"And of course, the best is the oily, tender Elbow, our cafeteria’s master chef is a great cook, especially skilled at braising elbow, with soft gelatinous skin, tender red meat, neither greasy nor dry, a bite bursting with fragrance!"
Gulp!
He Weihong nearly made herself drool too, but the effect was splendid.
"...Eat! I, I want to eat everything!"
He Tiantian weakly shouted out this sentence, her eyes slowly opening.
"Mom, look, Tiantian really woke up!"
He Weihong, brimming with excitement, proudly exclaimed, "I knew this would work!"
Wu Zhuoya: ...
What should have been a warm and touching scene suddenly turned quite odd.
Her younger daughter was indeed a foodie, not waking up to doctors or medicine while unconscious, but the mention of food did the trick?!
And her elder daughter, calling her silly wouldn’t fit, as she wasn’t bad at studying either.
But to say she was smart, that was somewhat debatable.
Forget it, they were both her biological children, and as their real mother, she wouldn’t complain.
Besides, it was a good thing that Tiantian could wake up.
Last time she was unconscious for five or six days, this time it was much more serious, and Wu Zhuoya was worried that her daughter might stay unconscious for a week or even longer.
Who would have thought, it’s only been three days, and Tiantian had awakened!
If she loved to eat, let her eat. Moreover, Tiantian eating was not just for the pleasure of taste, but also for nourishment.
"Mom, sister, I want to eat cream cake, eat prawns, eat that... what’s it called, scallops, and also Elbow, braised pork!"
He Tiantian was fed another bowl of milk by her real mother and seemed much more spirited.
She had just woken up and hadn’t paid attention to anything else but was sure not to forget "ordering."
Wu Zhuoya glared at He Weihong: Telling her all this nonsense, now where am I supposed to find cream, not to mention prawns, scallops?
Here was an inland city, most of the seafood on the market was dried.
Wanting to eat fresh seafood was truly not very convenient.
And the Elbow... The cafeteria hadn’t seen any meat for nearly a month, let alone braise an Elbow?
Of course, these things were not impossible to get.
Just like before, when hosting experts from the Soviet Union, the Chinese side gave up eating and drinking themselves, giving all the good stuff to the experts.
Now that the experts had left, Tiantian’s potential influence seemed to rival that of the experts.
So, that means, maybe she could get special treatment, right?
Wu Zhuoya thought to herself but did not rush to inquire about the technical drawings.
She really was frightened by her little girl’s blood-covered, unconscious appearance.
Even if she wanted the little girl to confirm some of her and her husband’s suspicions personally, she would wait until the child’s body was stronger.
To get more nutrition and prevent her from having nosebleeds and fainting so easily, other matters were not important for the time being...
