Meng Yunhan came home from school in the afternoon to find that Old Zhao had already prepared the bone soup.
It was made over Beacon Coal.
"Girl, you're back. I've packed it in a thermos. You take it to him!" Because of Little Huzi, Old Zhao didn't deliver it himself.
"Alright, Dad, you've worked hard. This year, after Mother's Day, we will celebrate the New Year in town." Meng Yunhan knew that her father missed her mother and elder brother. She had kept them from going home for the last two years because of herself. This year, it was time for them to return.
Old Zhao agreed with a smile, "Alright, go and chat with your mother and elder brother."
Meng Yunhan walked to the hospital and only felt relieved when she saw Wang Meng had finished the bone soup.
"Where are your parents?" Why couldn't she see them? Weren't they out shopping before? Were they really scared off by the 5,000 yuan she mentioned and stopped coming to the hospital?
"They must have left!"
