As it was lunchtime, the shopping rush was over. There were very few people in the supermarket.
The dishes were not as good as the ones in the morning. Many of the leftovers were left over by others.
Tang Xiaowei only bought a handful of vegetables, two white radishes, some fresh red peppers, and a few potatoes. The rest of the dishes were not good, so she did not buy them.
When she went to check out, the cashier smiled and told her, "Hello, miss. You are the 999th customer today. This year is the ninth year since our supermarket opened, so you can shop free of charge."
Tang Xiaowei was stunned. She had often come to this supermarket to buy things since she was young. At first, this supermarket was quite small, but it became bigger and bigger. Today was indeed the ninth year of their supermarket's opening.
Because she had not come to the supermarket during this period of time, she had not noticed. Now that she thought about it, she looked around and found that there were festive stickers hanging around. She believed it, then said thank you and took the things home.
Not long after she left.. The cashier and another cashier beside her whispered, "There was a Maybach parked at the entrance of the supermarket just now. The man in the car was super handsome. He even let the people beside him get out of the car to pay 10,000 yuan for the lady just now. In the future, as long as the lady doesn't pay more than 10,000 yuan, she can find an excuse to say that it was a gift for her. I feel so romantic. That handsome man must have wanted to chase after that lady just now."
"Hearing what you said, I think so too. Why didn't you ask me to see how that handsome man looked like just now? So that I could come and take a look." After hearing that, the other cashier was suddenly filled with curiosity.
"When they came just now, they were so imposing that I was almost scared silly. Why did they still have the idea to call you? When they came back to their senses, they had 10,000 yuan in their hands, and then they were gone."
"Then we can only pray that the lady just now often comes to buy things. When the 10,000 yuan is used up, that handsome guy will definitely appear again."
...
Tang Xiaowei went home and cut the red pepper and white radish into thin strips. Then, she marinated them with salt and white vinegar in a small glass jar. After that, she washed the rice and cooked it. Then, she fried some vegetables and had a simple lunch.
As for the pickled white radish, she planned to eat it tomorrow.
She learned pickled white radish from her former nanny. She learned it very well and it tasted good every time she pickled it. Moreover, white radish was a very cheap vegetable. She had no money now, so of course she had to save it.
After lunch, she rested for a while and cleaned the house again. Then, she took a shower and went to sleep.
In her hazy sleep, she heard a sound coming from downstairs.
She suddenly woke up. The sky had just turned dark. Although the light in her bedroom was not turned on, she could still see the furnishings in the room when the light shone in.
She picked up her phone and looked at the time. It was more than seven o'clock in the evening.
She had to go to work tomorrow, so she could not go to the hospital to change shifts with her father to watch over her mother. But tonight, she planned to go and tell her father to watch over her mother until midnight so that her father could have a rest.
However, before she could set the alarm clock, she was woken up by the sound coming from downstairs.
She originally thought that her father might be coming home at this time downstairs, but there was a message on her phone. It was a message from her father. He said that he would be watching over her mother at the hospital tonight and told Tang Xiaowei to have a good rest. Don't go to the hospital, said the message.
Her father said that he wouldn't come back, but she was the only one who would come home.
After what happened in the morning, Tang Xiaowei began to be on guard against everything.
She didn't turn on the lights or yell. Instead, she locked her room door and quietly called the security guard to tell him about the situation.
The security guard agreed to come over and take a look soon.
A few minutes later, Tang Xiaowei heard the sound of a car coming from downstairs. Then, she heard the sound of a car, followed by the sound of a security guard yelling and a man shouting.
Soon, Tang Xiaowei's cell phone was connected. The security guard panted and said, "Miss Tang, the thief has been caught. Do you want to come down and take a look? If you don't, we'll have to turn him over to the police station."
Tang Xiaowei was not in the mood to look, so she refused. The security guard then left the Tang family home with the thief.
Tang Xiaowei then came downstairs and checked the entire house. She found that the toilet window on the first floor was open, and there were footprints. The other places were intact.
The thief just now must have jumped in from the toilet window on the first floor.
There had been no one in the Tang family during this period of time. He must have been watching the house for a long time and realized that it was often empty, so he came to steal. He can't have known that he would run into Tang Xiaowei at home, so the Tang family did not suffer any losses.
Tang Xiaowei cleaned the house, then changed her clothes and went out.
She was very lucky this time. As soon as she arrived at the bus stop, there was a bus. There were very few people on the bus, and the windows could be opened to let in some air. She quickly found a chair to sit down and went to the hospital with the wind. Because it was not stuffy, there was no carsickness.
At the bus stop at the entrance of the hospital, not long after Tang Xiaowei got off the bus, the driver on the bus immediately called to report, "President, the situation is normal. There is no carsickness."
Tang Xiaowei did not notice the abnormality on the bus and went to the hospital on her own.
When she reached the door of the ward, she heard her parents talking softly inside. Tang Xiaowei heard her mother talking about her, saying that she missed her.. Her father said gently, "Xiaowei stayed with you all night yesterday. I was afraid that I would tire the child, so I let her rest at home today. She should come to see you tomorrow."
Ning Xintian nodded. "I don't want to tire Xiaowei either. It's good to let her rest."
Tang Xiaowei pushed the door open and walked in. "Dad, mom, have you eaten dinner?"
Hearing her voice, Tang Qingxuan and Ning Xintian immediately turned around. Tang Qingxuan said in surprise, "Xiaowei, we have already eaten dinner. But didn't dad say that you should rest? Don't come over. It's good that dad is here."
Ning Xintian also said with heartache, "Xiaowei, don't stay with me tonight. Go back and rest."
Tang Xiaowei shook her head. "Mom, I really want to stay with you tonight. Let me stay with you."
Ning Xintian didn't understand why her daughter said that but she still refused. "Xiaowei, mom is in recovery now. There's no danger. It's your dad who has been watching over me because he's nervous. You're still young. Don't come to watch over me every day. I'll feel sorry for you if you're exhausted. Since you're here now, stay and chat with mom. Go back and rest later."
At that moment, Tang Qingxuan suddenly stood up. He took out a card from a bag beside the bedside and handed it to Tang Xiaowei. "Xiaowei, your father hasn't given you any living expenses recently. Your mother is still recovering and doesn't need much money. Take these tens of thousands and spend it first. If it's not enough, I'll give you more in a few days."
