Xie Zhiyan knew that the elderly couple loved children, but he hadn't had a chance to spend much time with them.

Xie Wenyuan gave him a disdainful look, holding Yueyue in his left arm and Yangyang in his right: "Anyway, you're no different from air. You always have to go out. Isn't it inconvenient for them, a widow and her children, to stay at home? If they come with us, we can help take care of the children when we're not busy."

Xie Zhiyan's face turned cold, and he looked unwilling: "No."

No matter how much they plead, he will never again live apart from his wife, whom he has finally found.

Speaking of helping Shuying ease her burden, Huang Meiling held Shuying's hand and said earnestly, "Yingying, you know what your dad and I do. We can't do much, we can only contribute some money. It's hard for you to take care of two children by yourself, and Zhiyan can't help much either. Last night, I specially contacted relatives back home and found a girl to come and take care of you and the two children. You met her at your wedding. She's your cousin's daughter, a few years older than you two. You can call her 'sister' then."

Shu Ying quickly waved her hand: "Mom, really, there's no need. I don't need to worry about anything here. Besides, the children will be starting kindergarten soon, and I can do some housework now, so there's no need to come here specifically to find someone to take care of them."

Huang Meiling assumed that Shu Ying was just embarrassed, so she carefully comforted her: "Yingying, you don't need to feel pressured. Your father and I just want to do our best to help. She's already on her way. I found out everything last night. She's a quick and capable girl, and she's one of our family members. We trust her more than anyone else."

Xie Wenyuan nodded and said, "Don't worry about it. Our two children need someone to take care of them. You are a college student, and you can do whatever you want, whether you want to find a job or not. Your mother and I don't mean anything by it. We just hope that you two can live a good life together."

That's all they can do.

Shu Ying knew the two meant well, and since they had already arrived quickly, she couldn't say anything more. Once they arrived in the capital, she could only treat them well.

Furthermore, it's good to have another person in the family. Sister Song has to take care of two families all by herself, which is indeed hard work. Having another person can help share some of the pressure.

Song Zhaodi was used to being frugal and rarely spent money on things, so Shu Ying's pocket money in the drawer was never less.

She always used her own wages to make up for it, but this couldn't go on forever.

"Then I'll thank Mom and Dad in advance."

Huang Meiling smiled and said, "Silly child, there's no need for thanks among us as a family. It's something your father and I should do. On the contrary, we should thank you for being so understanding and reasonable. Even though we've become grandparents, you haven't asked us to fulfill any obligations. You can't find such a good daughter-in-law even if you search high and low."

Yueyue raised her head, her bright eyes bearing a striking resemblance to Shuying's.

"Grandma, Mom loves pretty things the most. You can find Mom by carrying the prettiest lantern."

Huang Meiling was amused by Yueyue's innocent words: "Okay, okay, Grandma will remember. When Grandma comes back next time, I'll bring you and Mom the prettiest gifts, okay?"

Yueyue shook her head: "I'm happy just to see Grandma. It would be even better if I could see her every day. I don't want any gifts, I just want Grandpa and Grandma."

Xie Wenyuan and Huang Meiling's hearts melted. How could there be such an adorable child in the world?

As lunchtime approached, Xie Wenyuan went to the cafeteria to get his food and returned.

Huang Meiling put the meat into Shuying's bowl: "Your dad and I came back in a hurry this time, and we didn't have time to take you and the children out for a proper meal. We'll have a good family get-together next time we have the chance."

Shu Ying knew the importance of their mission and work, poured water for Huang Meiling, and said understandingly, "Okay, there will always be such opportunities. Mom and Dad, please take care of yourselves. Work is important, but right now you two are the guiding lights of our family. Please take care."

Huang Meiling nodded heavily, ate a quick bite, and then the car from the base arrived to pick her up.

Huang Meiling sat in the back row, opened the window, and waved goodbye reluctantly.

"Yingying, please remember to rest. There are doctors and nurses here at the hospital, so please take good care of yourself."

Yueyue and Yangyang stood beside Shuying, vigorously waving their small, lotus-root-like arms.

Goodbye, Grandpa and Grandma, we will miss you.

Huang Meiling's eyes were red. Although she was already in the car, her heart was with her daughter-in-law and two children.

As the car started moving, her tears flowed even more freely. Not wanting the children to see her in such a distressed state, she quickly wiped away her tears with her sleeve. "Go back quickly, we'll see each other again soon."

Shu Ying waved goodbye to her two children, and her figure gradually disappeared behind the car.

Huang Meiling could no longer hold back and began to sob softly. Xie Wenyuan couldn't help but chuckle and took out some tissues from the side.

"Look at yourself, how old are you? You're a grandmother now. I've never seen you cry this badly before. Hurry up and wipe your nose, it's all snot."

Huang Meiling took a tissue, wiped away her tears, and sobbed twice, saying, "I've made up my mind. When we get back to our unit, I'll apply for the transfer. As soon as I get my monthly salary, I'll send it to Yingying. Raising two children is already hard enough. Look how thin she is now, she's almost a bamboo pole. With such thin shoulders, how can she take care of your son and two children at the same time? How can her body handle it?"

She always felt indebted because she also had a daughter and wanted her in-laws to treat her better. So she tried her best to be an understanding mother-in-law, hoping that her daughter's mother-in-law could also give her more respect.

Xie Wenyuan patted her shoulder: "Just do as you say."

Huang Meiling calmed down, still thinking about the two little ones: "They say children can hold an adult's heart, and it's really true. As soon as I see those two children, I know they are our family. Blood ties are truly amazing. I don't even want to work anymore. These children change every day. I wish I could be there to watch them grow up."

Xie Wenyuan heard Huang Meiling say she didn't want to work for the first time, and a smile appeared on his face: "Although you can't watch our own children grow up, with your job now, you can see millions of future generations grow up with their backs straight."

Huang Meiling sighed, "That's true. Sometimes you have to sacrifice your own family."

Xie Wanying was uneasy all morning and barely ate any of the breakfast Aunt Gui made.

Xie Wenyuan and Huang Meiling suddenly returned. Sooner or later, the truth about her identity would come out. Xie Wanying grabbed her messy hair in frustration.

"No, rather than sitting and waiting to die, I'd rather go and check the situation myself. If something really happens, at least I won't be completely unaware."
