In the following days, she was relatively well-behaved and didn't bother us, often wandering around the neighborhood.

I wondered if my mother had noticed my unusual state and secretly stopped her.

I peered through my room window, watching my grandmother squatting in the greenery, fiddling with something, lost in thought.

Just then, my mom gently knocked on my door.

"Sisi, come out, there's good news."

I opened the door and saw my mom holding a letter.

"The acceptance letter is here!" my mom said excitedly.

I took the envelope and carefully opened it.

Indeed, I was accepted by the company I wanted. I could finally take my mom and leave!

As soon as the news spread, the whole family gathered in the living room.

"Wonderful! Our Sisi is amazing!" Grandma said with a beaming smile.

Zhang Jianguo and my sister also managed to crack a smile.

"Today Sisi got accepted, and tomorrow is Little Huan's big day with the college entrance exam. I must make something delicious to celebrate," Grandma said as she headed to the kitchen.

Soon, Grandma came out with a plate of dumplings.

"Sisi, try these leek dumplings made by Grandma; they're not like the ones you buy outside!" Grandma said with a smile.

Looking at the green dumplings on the plate, I suddenly realized what she had been doing in the greenery area all day.

These weren't leek dumplings; they were narcissuses from the neighborhood garden!

After days without antics, she was actually planning something big!

"Grandma, I'm full, I don't want to eat any more." I politely declined.

"How can you not eat them? Grandma made these with great effort." Zhang Jianguo frowned and said.

"Exactly, sister, how can you not respect Grandma?" my sister chimed in.

Seeing their reproachful eyes, I had a sudden idea.

"You're right; we can't waste Grandma's kind effort," I said with a smile,

"But I really can't eat more, and these dumplings were not made just for me. Little Huan has exams coming up; these are Grandma's luck dumplings. You should eat more and aim for good results!"

After speaking, I pushed the plate toward them.

Grandma's gaze followed the plate toward them,

Seeing Grandma's hopeful eyes, Zhang Jianguo was the first to pick up a dumpling,

"My mom's dumplings are famously delicious; you really don't know what you're missing!"

After saying that, he decisively popped it into his mouth, "Mmm! That's the taste! Little Huan, you should try it too!"

Zhang Huan's eyes lit up, hearing that, "Then I'll try it too!"

After saying that, Zhang Huan also started eating, "Mmm! So good!"

Grandma looked gratified, "These homegrown leeks really are something special."

Zhang Jianguo chimed in, "Exactly, if you don't know what's good, you two mother and daughter just don't eat! These dumplings, Little Huan and I will pack them up!"

But before he finished speaking, he suddenly clutched his stomach and cried out, "Oh no, something's wrong, my stomach hurts so much."

Soon Zhang Huan experienced the same symptoms, with even more severe reactions, her face turned pale, nearly foaming at the mouth.

Before losing consciousness, Zhang Huan looked at Grandma with a resentful gaze,

"Grandma... what did you put in these dumplings?"

"Why, it's just ordinary leeks." Grandma put on that innocent look again.

I ignored them and quietly went aside to call 911.

Although ingesting narcissus can cause a lot of pain, as long as it's not much and treated promptly, it won't be fatal.

However, since it's already nighttime, a trip to the hospital and a sleepless night is inevitable.

Tomorrow Zhang Huan's college entrance exam is already pre-emptively over.
