The Peasant Wife: The Prime Minister's Beloved

They decided to explore a bit, moving briskly through every corner of the house.

But unfortunately, that familiar figure never appeared.

Xiaoyang couldn't contain his anxiety and started calling out in a louder voice.

Xie Tianyi was busy preparing breakfast in the kitchen. When he heard Xiaoyang's clear and loud call, a warm feeling suddenly surged in his heart. He quickly put down the kitchen utensils in his hands, put on a gentle smile on his face, and quickly walked out of the kitchen.

The moment the two little babies saw Xie Tianyi, they didn’t notice that their father was missing his indispensable walking stick, and they just threw themselves into his warm embrace.

Xie Tianyi was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling, and easily picked up a child with one hand.

"Dad, Dad, Brother Chen Rong told us that you are going to bring us surprise candies, is this true?"

Xiaochen's little face was full of anticipation, and his greedy look was so funny that it made people laugh.

Compared to Xiaochen's straightforwardness, Xiaoyang seemed much calmer. He observed his father carefully and vaguely felt that there was some unusual change in his father today.

His little head was working rapidly, and suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind like lightning - Dad's legs!

The legs that had to rely on crutches and wheelchairs a few days ago can now support the entire body so easily and can even pick them up with ease!

Xiao Yang glanced at him and said helplessly, "Xiao Chen, apart from eating, didn't you notice anything different today?"

Xiao Chen stared at her with innocent eyes, looking confused: "What's different today? Of course there is, Dad said he would give us candy, isn't that the biggest difference?"

Xiao Yang sighed and tried to guide him again: "I mean, do you feel that there is something special about Dad today?"

"What's weird about Dad?" Xiao Chen's mind was still full of those sweet temptations, and he seemed unaware of other things.

Xiao Yang patiently pointed out: "Didn't you notice that Dad's legs are completely healed? He can walk on his own and even hold us."

Xiao Chen suddenly realized, as if he had just discovered a new world: "Hey, Dad, how come you can stand up all of a sudden and hug us? I didn't even notice it!"

This scene was warm and interesting, and it made Xie Tianyi feel indescribably moved.

"Thanks to your mother, if it weren't for her medical skills, Dad would still be lying in bed now." Xie Tianyi's face was filled with a happy smile.

Xiao Yang blinked his big eyes, looking half-comprehending: "Mom used her magic to heal Dad's leg? Is Mom really a doctor in a white coat?"

Xie Tianyi bent down, "Yes, your mother is an incredible hero. In our small town, everyone knows that the skilled female doctor in the clinic is your mother."

Xiao Chen's face was filled with surprise and pride: "Mom is so amazing! Having a doctor at home is like having a patron saint!"

"Okay, go wash your hands first and get ready for dinner. Daddy specially cooked delicious porridge today, as well as your favorite poached eggs."

There was a warm smile in Xie Tianyi's voice, like a spring breeze, gently blowing through everyone's heart.

Xiao Yang responded immediately: "Then I'll go find Brother Chen Rong. It will be more lively if we have breakfast together!"

Xiao Chen ran back to his room and shouted excitedly, "Brother Chen Rong, Dad is calling us to eat. We have super delicious fried eggs!"

Before he finished speaking, the small figure had disappeared behind the door.

On the dining table, the steaming fried eggs gave off an enticing aroma. Xiaoyang and Xiaochen ate them with gusto, their faces filled with satisfaction.

For this family, Dad’s recovery is undoubtedly the greatest good news, and every bite of food seems especially sweet.

Xiao Chen held the egg in his mouth and did not forget to express his opinion: "The poached eggs made by Dad are more delicious than those bought outside. From now on, we will let Dad cook for us, okay?"

Xie Tianyi agreed with a doting look in his eyes: "Of course, as long as Dad has time, I will definitely make all kinds of delicious food for you, okay?"

On the other side, when Chen Xi stepped into the clinic, he was already half an hour later than usual.

The early morning oversleeping and Xie Tianyi's unintentional little episode made being late an established fact.

As she walked to the clinic, the image of Xie Tianyi gradually recovering kept appearing in her mind. It all seemed to have happened too suddenly.

Although she knew that her efforts would bear fruit, she had not expected the results to be so remarkable. Just three silver needles made a miracle happen.

Chen Xi couldn't help but have some doubts about himself in his heart.

Could it be that my medical skills have really reached a new level?

The moment she arrived at her seat, the scene in front of Chen Xi made her heart tighten, and she felt a sense of regret.

In the waiting room, patients were sitting or standing, densely filling the entire back hall.

On the waiting faces, some showed fatigue, some hid forbearance, and some showed concern for children or the elderly. All of this made Chen Xi feel a deep sense of responsibility.

"I'm really sorry, I was delayed until now because of some urgent matters at home." Chen Xi's tone was full of sincerity.

To her surprise, despite the large number of people, no one complained. Their expressions were more of understanding and support. They were willing to queue patiently just to wait for Chen Xi's treatment, even if there were other clinics nearby that did not require queuing.

Such firm trust, like a ray of sunshine in winter, warmed Chen Xi's heart and made her determined to go all out.

Seeing the team winding like a long dragon, Chen Xi felt unprecedented pressure, but her eyes immediately became firm.

She vowed to herself that no matter how long the day's work would last, she would stick with it until the end to make sure every waiting patient received proper treatment.

……

On the other hand, Xu Lihong is enjoying the rare peace and freedom.

At this moment, she seemed to have completely gotten rid of the critical gaze of her mother-in-law at home, and her body and mind had gained long-lost release.

Although all the harvest must be handed in eventually, at this moment, Xu Lihong cherishes this hard-earned ease and happiness more than enduring the accusations and grievances at home.

Xu Lihong lost her mother when she was young, and her father was deeply addicted to gambling, so the family was often in financial difficulties.

With the help of others, she married Liu Yonggang and wanted to start a new life. However, the reality that they had no children after many years of marriage made her position in the family even more delicate.

Faced with the constant indifference and misunderstanding in the family, Xu Lihong had fantasized countless times in her heart about escaping from this cold home.

But whenever she recalled her father's addiction to gambling, even to the point of mortgaging their house, she had to suppress the urge to leave.

After all, if she really divorces, what may await her is true homelessness.
