Chapter 943 Ruobai: Because tomorrow is my mother’s death anniversary!

After entering the gate of the quadrangle and just walking around the screen wall, I saw Wu Wanchun and two aunts from the courtyard picking vegetables at the door of Zhou's house from afar.

In front of the hanging flower gate, there were two little children standing with their heads down, being scolded by their parents in the front yard. They were obviously the same children who had just made fun of Wu Wanchun together with the kid from the Zheng family.

"Go and apologize! If I catch you doing this again, I'll beat your butts!" A man in his thirties scolded his own children and pointed at Wu Wanchun who was squatting on the side.

The seven or eight-year-old child was already at an age where he understood everything, and his face was still red, obviously having been slapped just now. At the moment, frightened by his father, he lowered his head and walked to Wu Wanchun and stretched out his hand. When she raised her head, he bowed and said sorry.

Wu Wanchun didn't know what was going on. He stood up uncomfortably and looked at the man here with a puzzled look on his face.

There was also a child at the side who, under the glare of his mother, quickly went over, bowed and apologized.

"Just apologize, and remember it next time! Don't make fun of others anymore. Your aunt Wanchun is such a good person. She would be so sad if she knew about it!" Wang Defa walked over and smiled.

Wu Wanchun stretched out his hand and gestured.

Wang Defa also stretched out his hand and gestured back.

Li Xiangnan was surprised by this scene.

"Okay, Brother Qu, Sister-in-law Lu, take the child back!" Wang Defa smiled.

Wu Wanchun reached out and rubbed the two children's heads. He had no idea what Wang Defa was talking about. He smiled, squatted down, took out two candies from his pocket and handed them to them. The two little guys happily held them and ran away.

"Oh, this girl is so kind-hearted! My child even laughed at her. It really made me feel uncomfortable watching it!" Brother Qu shook his head slightly.

"Who said it wasn't true?" The auntie who was sitting nearby picking vegetables followed up and said, "When Wanchun marries into the Zhou family, we should help as much as we can! Let's do some good deeds!"

"Yes, this girl is so nice!" Mrs. Lu sighed and came over to help Wu Wanchun pick vegetables.

Li Xiangnan was relieved to see that Defa handled the matter very well. He looked around the room and asked, "Isn't Old Zhou off work yet? Where are Aunt Lu and Brother Yuejin?"

The aunt squatting on the ground picking vegetables smiled and said, "Doctor Zhou is working overtime and will be back late! He went to Zhima Hutong to make quilts. There are several beds. Shuiqing couldn't bring them back, so Yuejin followed him!"

Nodding, Li Xiangnan smiled and sat down by the wall, handed a cigarette to Defa and Brother Qu, and asked, "Fatty, did you say Miss Wanchun has something for me? What is it?"

"Oh, look at my memory!" Wang Defa slapped his head and ran into the house, picking up a notebook from the desk by the window, "Here, this is it!"

Li Xiangnan took a look at it and his eyes lit up. "'Common Sign Language Chart for the Deaf and Mute'!"

Li Xiangnan was somewhat familiar with this manual. It was the "Universal Sign Language Chart for the Deaf and Mute" compiled and drawn by my country's Association of the Blind and Deaf in 1959. It helped the deaf and mute comrades to communicate with sign language conveniently and quickly, and had very important guiding and practical significance.

"So you came here to learn sign language from Comrade Wanchun! I mean, you've been missing for the whole day!" Li Xiangnan smiled.

The people around laughed.

Wang Defa scratched his head and said with a smile, "I saw Wanchun and Yuejin communicating in sign language, so I came over to ask her, wanting her to teach me! When she came today, she brought this booklet with her, and told you to take it home and learn it. If Taozi..."

Having said that, he did not continue.

But Li Xiangnan understood the meaning of the unspoken words at the end.

If Taozi really can't get better and becomes deaf-mute in the future, then this manual will be the magic weapon to communicate with Taozi smoothly.

Writing is so troublesome!

Opening the booklet, the first page tells people how to say hello and thank you. Li Xiangnan memorized it carefully, squatted in front of Wu Wanchun, and smiled and made a hello gesture.

"Hello!" Wu Wanchun was stunned for a moment, then smiled brightly.

"Thank you!" Li Xiangnan pointed to the manual and started to demonstrate.

"You're welcome!" Wu Wanchun continued to gesture, "I hope this can help your friends!"

"What does this mean?" Li Xiangnan was stunned.

"Look, look, look!" Wang Defa hurried over and looked for the words for the hand gesture in the manual with him.

Wu Wanchun smiled sweetly, knowing that they didn't understand, she flipped back and pointed out the meaning above.

Li Xiangnan suddenly realized and gestured thank you again.

"With this booklet, communication is indeed much smoother!" He stood up with deep emotion, turned around and said with a smile: "Fatty, let all the comrades in our hospital learn from it! You can be the teacher..."

"No, I'm also a half-baked person! Let's go there when Teacher Wu Wanchun is free!"

Li Xiangnan's eyes lit up, "That's a good idea! It will also have a positive effect on Taozi's mood..."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Li Xiangnan was about to ask Wu Wanchun whether she was engaged to Zhou Yuejin when he saw his father Li Fugui running out from the yard in a hurry.

"southward!"

"Dad? What's wrong?"

Seeing that he looked somewhat anxious, Li Xiangnan's heart sank instantly.

"Go home quickly! It's Ruobai!" Li Fugui pulled him into the front yard, feeling very helpless.

Wang Defa quickly followed and asked in surprise, "Uncle, what happened?"

"I don't know either! Xiangnan's mother is in the room comforting him! Ruobai is crying, and no one knows the reason!" Li Fugui scratched his head anxiously.

"Is Ruobai coming back in the afternoon?" Li Xiangnan looked at his watch. It was not even five o'clock, and he felt a little surprised.

Ruobai has been working overtime these days. It's really strange that he came back so early, even though it's not time to get off work yet!

Could something really have happened?

Li Xiangnan became a little worried and ran quickly to the backyard.

As soon as I entered the backyard, I saw He Xiaoshuang in the middle yard standing in front of his house with a man, looking uneasy.

"Dad, this is..."

Seeing that the man was also wearing a police uniform, Li Xiangnan was a little confused.

"This is He Xiaoshuang's family!" Li Fugui explained, "They are also police officers!"

"Hello, I'm Feng Yicheng from the Dongcheng Police Station!" Feng Yicheng introduced himself and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, we came to visit Captain Qin and said the wrong thing..."

Seeing some confusion on Li Xiangnan's face, Feng Yichong quickly apologized.

"Did I say the wrong thing?" Li Xiangnan frowned, becoming even more confused.

Because he knew Ruobai's character well, he would never get angry or sad just because of a few words from others!

Unless, he said something terrible that pierced her heart!

Li Xiangnan suddenly felt furious.

From the time he met Qin Ruobai, until they got married, to now, he has never made Ruobai sad!

He himself couldn't bear to let his woman cry!

Not to mention everyone else!

"Dr. Li, we are so sorry! We really didn't mean it!"

He Xiaoshuang noticed that Li Xiangnan's face looked a little strange, so he quickly apologized with a very sincere attitude.

"Yicheng just wanted to show his respect..."

"Let's go!"

Li Xiangnan walked up the stairs with a cold voice.

"Xiangnan, it's not their fault!" Qin Ruobai's sobbing voice was heard from inside the room.

"Captain Qin, I'm so sorry!" Feng Yichen nodded towards the house again, and then nodded to Li Xiangnan, "We'll leave now!"

"Comrade Feng Yicheng! I'm just too sensitive, don't take it to heart!"

When Feng Yichen walked to the door, Qin Ruobai walked out and shouted.

"Captain Qin! Take care of yourself! I'll come to visit you another day!" After Feng Yichong said this, he took He Xiaoshuang and nodded to the old couple at the door very apologetically before leaving.

The more Li Xiangnan listened, the more confused he became. He went up to Qin Ruobai and stroked her, asking with concern, "Ruobai, what happened? Why did you suddenly leave work early? What did they say that made you so sad?"

"southward!"

Qin Ruobai raised her tearful eyes to look at him and burst into tears, "Because tomorrow is my mother's death anniversary!"

Hearing this, everyone in the backyard was shocked.
