Chapter 468: Chapter 468

"Time to take Chuanqi and Hunter home."

Mai Qiqi gave an "oh" and stood up. After swaying back and forth a couple of times, she fell straight down.

Chen Ke was startled and immediately jumped to the ground, grabbing her arm just in time to prevent Mai Qiqi from hitting the ground. Lowering his head after catching her, he saw her face was flushed, eyes tightly closed, and a head full of sweat.

He felt for the pulse in her neck, and opened her eyelids to check.

The young miss suffered from heatstroke after crouching for a long time and stood up too quickly, causing a lack of blood flow to the head, then fainted.

Applying some strength, Chen Ke easily lifted Mai Qiqi and walked outside, thinking to himself that this girl didn’t look thin, but surprisingly, she felt as light as feather dusters.

"Little Lizzi, take the younger ones and leave."

Chen Ke called out and walked forward, with Hunter staring blankly as Uncle Chen Ke carried his godmother. After a moment, he hurried along and asked, "Uncle, are you going to marry my godmother?" That’s how dad carries mom, and dad says you can only carry after marriage.

Chen Ke stumbled and almost threw the Mai Qiqi he was carrying.

He stopped and looked back at the four curious babies with excited faces, immediately feeling awkward and said:

"Don’t say things like that. Your godmother fainted. Uncle is carrying her to the car to see the doctor."

Chuanqi and Hunter were too young to understand what that meant, and immediately started crying, "Is godmother going to die? Godmother... boo hoo..."

Xiao Huaili, being a bit older, understood and quickly comforted the two little ones.

"Aunt hasn’t died. Aunt just fainted. She will wake up after seeing the doctor."

"Really? Big brother."

So, the group of four hurriedly followed Chen Ke with their short legs, trying to catch up. Xiao Huaili initially thought of carrying Little Zhuanqi but after exerting all his strength and taking two steps, he couldn’t carry her any longer and they nearly fell together.

This little chubby one is really heavy!

Little Zhuanqi obediently said, "Big brother, I can walk on my own."

Chen Ke led the group directly to the family area, went to the medical office, carried Mai Qiqi into the medical office, and handed her over to the doctors, then immediately called Jiang Kechu.

Not a few minutes later, Wan Chu’er hurriedly arrived at the medical office.

"What happened to Mai Qiqi? How did she run into trouble just going out for a bit? Where is Qiqi?"

Chen Ke immediately stood up straight and respectfully said, "Sister-in-law, Miss Mai probably suffered heatstroke, she’s lying inside."

Wan Chu’er was stunned, "How did she get heatstroke?"

Chen Ke had to explain about Mai Qiqi squatting in the cornfield for an hour, and next to him, Xiao Huaili was very guilty and lowered his head, saying:

"I’m sorry, Aunt, it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have let Aunt Mai help me work."

Such a sensitive child.

Wan Chu’er patted his shoulder and could only say, "It’s not your fault, it’s just too sunny. Aunt Mai will be fine, and if she hoes a few more times in the future, she won’t faint again."

Beside them, Chen Ke glanced out the window, Xiao Huaili opened his mouth but said nothing, secretly thinking that he should not let Mai Qiqi do fieldwork again in the future.

After waiting for a while, Dr. Xiao Lan came out.

"Miss Mai is awake, she’s alright. Once the IV is done, she can go home."

Wan Chu’er sighed in relief, turned to the still anxious Chuanqi and the other four children, and said, "Alright, godmother is fine now, let’s go in and see her."

Knowing Mai Qiqi wouldn’t want to see him, Chen Ke quickly told Wan Chu’er and left the medical office.

Inside the ward, Mai Qiqi lay on the bed with an arm hooked up to the IV.

"You’re really something, just a quick trip out and you got yourself here." Wan Chu’er teased her, while also carefully checking her complexion and reaching out to feel her forehead.

Mai Qiqi laughed, "It’s a bit embarrassing, seems like I really need to improve my physical fitness in the future."

Little Zhuanqi chimed in, "Godmother, you scared me just now."

Hunter added, "Uncle Chen Ke carried godmother, and silly sister thought godmother was dead, so we were crying."

Mai Qiqi: "...Godmother is fine." Although she could imagine it, hearing this little one say that Chen Ke carried her here made her feel a bit embarrassed.

Seeing that Mai Qiqi was alright, but with a bit more time until the IV was done, Wan Chu’er decided to go home first and prepare lunch, while the four children stayed with Mai Qiqi. Google seaʀᴄh n̷o̷v̷e̷l̷f̷i̷r̷e̷.net

After Wan Chu’er left, Chuanqi suddenly asked Mai Qiqi, "Godmother, will you marry Uncle?"

Mai Qiqi’s mouth twitched, "No!"

"But Uncle carried godmother, my dad and mom got married and they carry each other often."

Mai Qiqi: "...Godmother was just sick, this is an exception, it won’t happen again."

While dealing with the little ones, she internally complained: Wan Chu’er, Jiang Kechu, what are you teaching your children!

After a while, when the IV was done, Mai Qiqi took the medication Dr. Xiao Lan prescribed and headed back to the family building with the four little ones. On the way, they encountered some family members who still looked at her with strange expressions, but Mai Qiqi held her head high and didn’t pay them any mind.

Upon arriving home, Wan Chu’er was just bringing out a large pot of mung bean soup she had prepared. In addition to the mung bean soup, she had also made scrambled eggs with tomatoes, moo shu pork, sweet and sour ribs, tofu with minced pork, braised fish, and prepared tofu with scallions and smashed cucumber salad, quite a feast.

Mai Qiqi chuckled, "Wow, your cooking skills have improved greatly!" In the past, when they had a bunch of people dining at Wan Chu’er’s house, she had only made a simple hot pot to entertain everyone.

Wan Chu’er smiled; after all, she had learned a few dishes from Mrs. Zhu.

Seeing the table full of dishes, Xiao Huaili was salivating, but he restrained his gaze and tightly held his sister’s hand, saying to Wan Chu’er, "Aunt, uh... we will head back now."

Mai Qiqi rolled her eyes and chided, "I could hear you swallowing your saliva, come on, be a man and don’t be so shy. Quick, take your sister to wash your hands and eat. Your Aunt Wan didn’t make all this just for me."

Xiao Huaili’s face flushed a bit at Mai Qiqi’s words, but he still didn’t move. In rural areas, when others have such a feast, they would usually automatically leave to go home.

Wan Chu’er said warmly, "Don’t be polite and reserved, listen to Aunt Mai, quickly wash your hands and eat."

Seeing Mai Qiqi and Wan Chu’er start to get a bit upset, with Chuanqi and Hunter also calling for big brother and big sister to sit, Xiao Huaili felt it would be inappropriate to be so bashful, so he agreed. Erya’s eyes brightened up again.

When it came time to eat, Xiao Huaili only focused on eating plain rice, not actively reaching for the dishes. Seeing his sister looking eagerly, he hesitated for a long time before giving her a chopstick of tomatoes.
