After getting off the car, Ye Li couldn't help but look around, looking at the exterior scene of the nursing home, which was obviously several times better than imagined, with an excited look on his face.Eyes that are eager to try, want to go straight in to see what's going on.

Qiu Mu was going to the security guard at the gate to inquire about the entry procedures, but saw a young man in his early thirties, wearing a suit and gold-rimmed glasses, walking towards them.

Facing Qiu Mu's gaze, the man said, "Is he the grandson of Minister Qiu, Qiu Mu?"

Qiu Mu smiled: "Yes, uncle."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Qiu Mu understood the purpose of the other party's visit - it should be that after he and Ye Li set off, Grandpa called specially to ask someone to come pick them up.

The man said: "Today I came to visit the nursing home with my friends." His gaze turned to Ye Li: "Little brother, come here and let's register our names and get a badge."

Ye Li walked over quickly: "Okay."

At the security booth at the door, the man walked in with his two children.When the security guards inside saw the other party coming in, they all stood up and said hello: "Hello, Dean."

Dean?Qiu Mu raised her eyebrows slightly.

The man greeted the security guard to fetch two forms, asked Qiu Mu and Ye Li to fill them in with a friendly smile, stood aside and carefully told the two what to write, then took the form and asked the security guard to make two listing cards and hand them to Qiu Mu and Ye Li.

"With this, you can go in and visit at will." The man said.

Qiu Mu said, "Thank you uncle."

The smile on the man's face increased a bit: "You're welcome."

Ye Li saw that the man was very familiar with the nursing home and seemed to have a high status, so he asked, "Are you the dean here?"

The man corrected: "It's the 'Vice President'."

Ye Li understood, it meant the principal and deputy monitor of the class.He said, "Hello, Uncle Dean."

The man was amused by Ye Li's cleverness.

"Uncle is free today, let's go in with you for a stroll."

Ye Li's eyes lit up immediately: "Really? Thank you!"

After entering the nursing home, along the way, Ye Li and the "Dean Qian" were mostly talking, while Qiu Mu followed and listened quietly.

"So are nursing homes and hospitals actually similar?" Ye Li asked.

"Yes, sanatoriums, like hospitals, are medical institutions that help patients recover." Even in the face of a ten-year-old child, the man did not take it lightly, and acted very seriously when answering.

"It's just different from hospitals. Nursing homes don't require patients to stay in bed most of the time, or only move around in a small indoor space. In addition to regular diagnosis and treatment for them, they are mainly organized for various recreational activities. Or physical exercise, providing a comfortable place where people can 'retreat' — kind of like a recreation center for leisure."

Ye Li asked: "Regular medical treatment?"

Deep in his heart, Ye Li still hopes that his mother can recover and become normal like other mothers.So that's what matters the most.

The dean said: "There will be specialized doctors to provide regular diagnosis and treatment. Most of our patients here are people who suffer from certain chronic diseases or occupational diseases. Your mother belongs to the group of people with mental cognitive impairment, so through natural recuperation Combining it with medical technology, providing good mental health and life services, and customizing a set of holistic and comprehensive recuperation methods for her. I believe that there will be good improvement effects."

"..." Because it is a vocabulary that is not easily accessible, Ye Li is a little confused.But as long as he knows that the conditions here are "very powerful and excellent", his heart hanging in the air can finally land steadily.

"You... know about my mother?"

Ye Li noticed that the man just said something about his mother, so he naturally expressed doubts.

Qiu Mu walked aside calmly, without interjecting, but looked at the man attentively from the corner of his eyes.

The man is also an individual, without half a second of hesitation, he said directly: "A few days ago, after the list of qualified personnel in our city came out, your mother's form was reviewed by me personally, so I naturally know."

When Ye Li heard this, he quickly thanked the man: "Thank you uncle! Thank you very much!"

The man waved his hand: "You're welcome, this is what we should do - let's continue the topic just now, do you want to know what settings are equipped in the nursing home?" In just two sentences, the incident just now was brought to the past.

Ye Li nodded quickly: "I think!"

Qiu Mu walked aside and laughed silently, thinking that Ye Li was indeed a little tender, so it was easy to pass.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Qiu Mu looked at the environment of the nursing home.

Similar to other nursing homes, the atmosphere here is clean and the environment is beautiful.The tip of the iceberg of the nursing home that I saw along the way, as far as the eye can see, the green bamboo forests and neat cobblestone paths, the neat, clean, spacious and bright single-family houses, and the friendly facilities staff passing by can all explain the beauty of this place. Conditions won't be any worse.

Especially the "Dean Qian" in front of him made a special trip to meet Qiu Mu and Ye Li, took painstaking efforts to act as a tour guide, and introduced the environment here to the two children.As long as you have this heart, other things will become secondary instead.

The moment the other party revealed his identity and showed his attitude, all of Ye Li's uneasiness disappeared.That is to say, if Ye Li cares about it, he will be chaotic, so he can't react.

Of course, even if Ye Li reacted, he might want to observe again, after all, it was about his only relative.You can't be too cautious.

So, from nine o'clock in the morning to eleven o'clock in the noon, the three of them finally took a rough look at the entire nursing home.Dean Qian bid farewell to Ye Li and Ye Li after being greeted by a woman in overalls.Before leaving, I told them that they could go to the cafeteria not far away to eat, and now that the food was just on display, they hurried away.

Hearing the word "canteen", the first thing that pops up in Ye Li's mind is the elementary school, that noisy place full of students, tables and chairs.

After actually going there with Qiu Mu, I realized that this was not the case at all.

Independent wooden small round table, soft and comfortable sofa chair.The floor-to-ceiling glass windows are bright and bright, and the walls are warmly decorated and covered with green plants.

The food is served in a display case not far away, and you can choose it randomly like a buffet.With such an environment, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a high-end restaurant.

Qiu Mu took two dinner plates and put one in Ye Li's hand: "Go over and see what you want to eat?"

Ye Li looked at the dazzling array of food on the display cabinet, and pointed to the things on it: "Can you take all of these casually? There are steaks and... this lobster is so big!"

Qiu Mu said: "The uncle said just now that you can take it as you like, so you can eat it with peace of mind."

Ye Li nodded, picked up the tongs on the table and unceremoniously selected a few lobster torsos with the most meat and the most delicious.

Standing not far away, Qiu Mu asked Ye Li, "What soup do you want?"

Ye Li leaned over to take a look, and finally pointed to a can of glutinous soup that was steaming hot and said: "What is this?"

"Corn soup." Qiu Mu said, "Do you want to drink it?"

"tasty?"

"It's okay." Qiu Mu took a spoon and poured some into the bowl: "There's still chicken soup over there, do you want it?"

"Yeah." Ye Li honestly nodded: "Everything here is fine."

Qiu Mu chuckled and asked, "So you plan to send Auntie here to live for a while?"

Ye Li thought for a while and said, "Well, send it off."

After seeing so many things, Ye Li will naturally no longer resist sending his mother to a nursing home.Rather than let his mother live with him in that kind of dim and small bungalow, and eat food that is not nutritious every day, Ye Li really hopes that she can live more comfortably.

For Ye Li, who has never enjoyed it before, this place is as perfect as heaven.

Two 10 minutes later.

Ye Li, who was full of satisfaction, relaxed his nerves for a rare time, and sank into the back of the sofa chair, clutching his full stomach and sighing: "I'm so happy."

He glanced at Qiu Mu, who was sitting across from him, and saw that the other person was eating as usual, reserved and particular, at most he stopped when he was [-]% full, and couldn't help but said: "You are still so picky about eating, why don't you eat more?" .”

Pushing a few pieces of filet veal in front of him, Ye Li said, "This meat is so tender, you should eat it."

Qiu Mu shook his head and refused: "It's all cold."

Those who feel happy just because they eat a little delicious food are either simple and easy to satisfy, or children who feel fresh about everything.

Qiu Mu was in her 20s in her previous life, and she has eaten almost all the delicacies that should be eaten in the world.Of course, he would be as happy as ordinary people when he found something delicious, but it's not to mention how happy he would be in his heart.We are long past the stage where we can experience pure joy in food.So usually eating with him, except that he looks pleasing to the eye, basically won't be very fragrant.

Ye Li: "..."

Qiu Mu asked: "Are you still eating?"

Ye Li seldom hides it in Qiumu, and basically behaves very frankly, as if talking to his closest family members, and is not ashamed of his gluttony and greed: "I want to eat, but I can't eat it." Yes, what a pity."

"Then go outside for a walk."

Ye Li licked his lips: "Yes."

Outside, until noon, the sun was shining brightly.

The light from the June sun was slightly scorching, Qiu Mu and Ye Li walked out of the cafeteria, and tacitly went for a walk in the small woods not far away.

The woods are very quiet, and the winding path scattered with scattered leaves leads to a secluded place. You can only hear the soothing and rhythmic footsteps of the soles of your feet on the ground, and the faint singing of birds in the distance.

The air in the forest has obviously dropped a few degrees, making people feel very comfortable. The glare of the sun is gone, and there are only green leaves swaying with the wind.

Ye Li's expression was very gentle, and the comfortable environment made his mentality relax and soften.

"Thank you, Xiao Mu." Ye Li said suddenly while walking.

Qiu Mu smiled: "You're welcome, I just handed in the form."

Ye Li shook his head.

"Not only this, but everything, I want to thank you."

The corner of Qiu Mu's mouth raised slightly: "They are all good brothers, so it's a shame to talk about this."

Ye Li stretched his waist, stood on the spot and took a deep breath, looking very relaxed.

Looking at the green shade above his head, Ye Li said: "I haven't told you much about my mother in the past, have I?"

Qiu Mu: "Huh?"

"I can't remember what happened when I was younger. But I still remember some things after going to kindergarten."

Knowing that Qiu Mu was listening carefully, Ye Li immersed himself in the memory, and narrated in a soft voice: "At that time, my mother would show me a beautiful smile and hold my hand with warm hands. , held me in her arms. She put her face on mine, and asked me in a gentle voice if I was hungry and if I wanted to eat...Although she seldom speaks now, my mother used to be very She likes to talk to me. Her voice is beautiful, as crisp and melodious as spring water flowing, and she sings too, so every day I will pester my mother and ask her to sing me a song before I fall asleep."

Qiu Mu said, "What song is it?"

Ye Lili hummed a few lines, and after finishing a section, he stopped and asked, "Have you heard it?"

It is a familiar folk song and nursery rhyme, with a gentle rhythm and catchy.Qiu Mu nodded: "I have heard."

Ye Li said: "It's a pity that I only have two years of memory. Since the beginning of kindergarten, my mother has gradually become quiet and forgets things easily. Occasionally she looks normal, and when she thinks of picking me up from school, she always I stood at the entrance of the kindergarten and looked inside. I didn’t know to ask the teacher if I had gone back by myself. So every time I got home and saw that my mother was not there, I would go out to look for her, worrying that she might get lost.”

Speaking of this, Ye Li smiled a little: "After searching for a long time, I saw my mother standing at the gate of the kindergarten to 'pick me up'. At that time, I felt angry and happy at the same time."

Qiu Mu seemed to see a boy whose height only reached the waist of an adult, looking at his mother standing at the entrance of the kindergarten from a distance, with complicated expressions in his eyes, but a bright smile on the corner of his mouth, running to call for his mother.Two people, one big and one small, got together and talked, and then walked hand in hand through the street under the sunset, and returned to that warm home, peaceful and beautiful.

"I don't know much about my father. I only know that he passed away shortly after I was born, and my mother hid all his photos, so I don't even know what my father looks like." Ye Li said: "When I was ignorant, I asked my mother a few times, but I learned not to ask any more."

"Are there any other elder relatives in the family?"

Ye Li shook his head: "I don't know, probably not. It's been so many years, and I've never seen anyone looking for my mother."

"Want to meet them?"

Ye Li said: "I don't know. So what if we meet? Will they be willing to take me in and help me take care of my mother?"

Qiu Mu comforted: "You still have me, Xiao Yu, and grandpa."

Ye Li nodded approvingly: "Yes."

In his opinion.Being able to know Qiu Mu is his greatest luck in these years.It was the precious blessing bestowed by the goddess who was finally willing to take pity on him, an unfortunate person.

Looking at Qiu Mu in the woods, with his hair and clothes fluttering in the breeze, Ye Li stared at him intently.The eyes are filled with unprecedented happiness.
