The Landlady and The Amnesiac

58

Zhou Jianguo never calls Luo Bei “Beibei” because he finds it cheesy, even though almost everyone in the urban village calls her that. He insists on calling her by her name.

Unless they have already reached a certain level of intimacy, he wouldn’t want to call her that.

If they are just friends, no matter how close they are, he would only call her Luo Bei.

But now he realizes that he can no longer see Luo Bei as just a good friend, so he wants to slowly change his way of addressing her from “Luo Bei” to “Beibei”.

At this moment, Luo Bei was immersed in her own world and did not notice Zhou Jianguo’s little scheme. She wiped her tears with the back of her hand and stood up, regaining her composure. Zhou Jianguo was right, the doctor didn’t say anything and she collapsed first, which was really unlike her.

Zhou Jianguo also stood up and glanced at Luo Bei, realizing that she had calmed down by now.

How should he put it, he felt a little bit of admiration and a little bit of pride.

This is Luo Bei, no matter what happens, even if she is flustered, it is only temporary. Soon she will recover.

The fall of an elderly person is indeed a serious matter. After about an hour, the doctor came out and said that it was just a fracture and they had undergone strict examination and there were no other issues at present, but they still needed to observe for a period of time.

Now, hospital bed resources are scarce, and Luo Bei had to ask around to get her Grandma to stay in a three-person ward.

At the moment, Grandma Luo’s spirits were still okay. In fact, she was very nervous, but she still managed to lift her hand to touch Luo Bei’s hair, with a look of love in her eyes. “Beibei, don’t worry, Grandma is fine. Grandma still wants to see you get married and have children, and take care of you during your confinement.”

“That’s for sure!” Luo Bei vigorously nodded her head. “And, I promised you before that I would take you to Thailand during the Chinese New Year. I’ve already saved up the money for the trip.”

Grandma Luo smiled, “I’m old, you’re still young, you should go to more places, I’ll just stay at home.”

“Who said that? I work hard to earn money so that you can enjoy life.” Luo Bei pulled the blanket for her, “Anyway, don’t think too much about it, this fall is just a rest for you.”

Although Grandma Luo’s whole body was in pain, she couldn’t resist her biological clock and was already feeling sleepy.

The other two patients in the ward also needed rest, so Luo Bei decided to go home and take a shower, bring some change of clothes and come back to accompany her at the hospital.

Zhao Pianpian still has a child after all, so even if she wants to help, she doesn’t have the energy and time. She could only give Luo Bei ten thousand yuan and ask her to accept it.

If it were before, Luo Bei would definitely not accept this money. But now she knows that Zhao Pianpian also regards her Grandma as a relative. If she insists on not taking the money, Zhao Pianpian might compensate in other ways, such as giving her child to someone else to take care of during the day while she comes to the hospital to care for her Grandma. This is not the situation Luo Bei wants to see, and the one-year-old child can’t be separated from his mother right now. Zhao Pianpian wouldn’t feel at ease leaving her child with someone else.

Other tenants who knew about Grandma Luo’s fall came to express their concern and said they would go to the hospital to visit her tomorrow.

If it weren’t late now, many people would want to buy some fruit and go to see what the situation is. Grandma Luo usually does good deeds and accumulates good karma, never quarrels with anyone, and has always been helpful to others. So now that she’s in the hospital, Luo Bei’s phone hasn’t stopped ringing. There were also quite a few landlords who were familiar with Grandma Luo gathered downstairs at the moment. When they heard Luo Bei say that there wasn’t a big problem, everyone dispersed.
