After leaving the residential area, I bought a bag of steamed buns with fresh meat filling from a roadside breakfast shop. It cost me 10 mission points, which made the people in the shop extremely envious.

They could only afford to buy one steamed bun, taking small bites, inwardly condemning Xie Yin's heartless behavior.

Xie Yin didn't buy them for food. He first gave six to Minister Hu, who wasn't there, so he just threw them on the table. Then he drove past the entrance of Jiang Shuyin's residential area, stopped briefly, and drove on.

The steamed buns were placed in the kitchen, waiting to be served to guests.

Xie Yin sent her a message asking when she would arrive.

It was only 7:30, and Jiang Shuyin was still asleep. Her bracelet was still on silent mode. When she saw the message, it was already past 9:00. Zheng Lanxiang went out to get groceries and came back with a bowl of loofah soup, as well as cucumber and ham.

Waking up to delicious-smelling meals is such a blessing.

Jiang Shuyin ate a bowl, and Zheng Lanxiang reached out to her: "I'll serve you some. If you don't eat more now, you'll miss it when you're out."

Jiang Shu smiled and took the bowl, but then suddenly remembered, "Mom, I'm going on a mission in a couple of days. It's a whole trainload of people."

Zheng Lanxiang looked up: "Is it about the Tibetan yaks?"

"How did you know?" Jiang Shu asked in surprise.

Zheng Lanxiang rolled her eyes at her: "Do you think I watched this news for nothing? You need to wear thick clothes over there. Let me pack them for you."

"Okay!" Jiang Shuyin was happy to be a hands-off manager: "A child with a mother is a treasure."

Jiang Jianli is truly unlucky; he picked up a sesame seed but lost a watermelon.

After finishing her meal, she went back to her room to cuddle with her baby and discovered that Xie Yin had sent her another message.

We discussed it and decided to visit them at 2 PM, bringing the baby along.

Just as Jiang Shuyin finished replying to the message, Xie Yin took the key, entered the elevator, and went downstairs. When the elevator doors opened, the three people inside were stunned.

Xie Yin glanced at the wheelchair, then looked away and stood by the door.

In the enclosed space, no one dared to speak. The person they had been observing every day suddenly appeared beside them, making them highly suspicious that their plan had been discovered.

The young man in the wheelchair stared directly at Xie Yin. This was a human body, the original owner of which was a wounded and retired soldier with no immediate family members. He was transferred to Anshi. But what exactly was occupying this body now?

Xie Yin turned around and met the young man's gaze: "What is it?"

The young man calmly replied, "I live on the 37th floor."

Xie Yin: "...33rd floor."

The elevator stopped briefly on the 6th floor, and the people outside who saw Xie Yin all took several steps back.

Seeing that he had no intention of coming up, Xie Yin simply pressed the close button.

It wastes time.

Upon reaching the first floor, Xie Yin's car was parked in the ground-level garage. The young man watched the car leave before descending the gentle slope of the accessible walkway.

"Where did the young master go?"

"Let's take a stroll around the Garden Community."

"Take this black hoodie with you too, it's dirt-resistant."

"You don't need to bring a skirt, right?"

Zheng Lanxiang packed her clothes, turning the entire wardrobe upside down. Jiang Shuyin really wanted to go shopping, feeling that she didn't have enough clothes.

After finally filling her suitcase, Zheng Lanxiang realized she hadn't packed any toiletries. She slapped her forehead and said, "I haven't packed your sanitary napkins yet. Take six packs with you, day and night use together. Change them frequently. I heard those monsters can smell things."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuyin quickly raised her hand to stop her, saying, "No need to bring it, I don't get my period anymore."

Zheng Lanxiang was dumbfounded, and she could barely hold onto the clothes in her hands: "What did you say? What happened? Explain yourself! Why didn't you come? Can't you have children?"

Jiang Shuyin confessed: "I don't know either, it's just not good. I think it's good, so I don't feel uncomfortable for those few days and it's easy to attract monsters."

Zheng Lanxiang turned her back and remained silent for a long time before asking, "What will you do if you don't have children in the future?"

Jiang Shu put her arm around her slumped shoulders and said, "What time is it now? The world is still unstable after the apocalypse. What good will it do if the child is born? If all else fails, we can adopt a child we like and go pick one together, okay?"

Zheng Lanxiang felt uneasy and went back to her room alone, closing the door behind her.

Jiang Shu glanced at her bracelet and saw it was already 1:40. She ran to the windowsill to look, and sure enough, Xie Yin had arrived.

Not wanting to keep them waiting too long, she changed into two sets of clothes for going out, went to the living room and called out, "I'm going to a friend's house for a while, I'll be back for dinner tonight."

Zheng Lanxiang sighed, walked to the balcony, and saw her daughter get into a black car. The house was empty again.

Remembering Jiang Shu's guidance on raising children, she took it to heart and decided to take advantage of the fact that Jiang Shu still had the energy to help raise the children, and choose a suitable child to raise under her daughter's name, so that she would have someone to talk to in the future.

I've heard that many families who moved to Anshi divorced and then quickly remarried local families with property. As a result, no one wanted their children, since more people means more mouths to feed, which is a very real situation.

Children who can take care of themselves can go to school, and the government has relevant policies to subsidize them until they can do tasks and then gradually repay the growth fund. Children who cannot take care of themselves are temporarily fostered in welfare institutions, and families who cannot have children or choose not to marry will adopt them.

Zheng Lanxiang thought of a welfare home about five kilometers away from her home. Her daughter was out and she didn't know what to do at home, so she decided to go out and take a look.

After getting in the car, Qingwu and Feitao squeezed out as if in a race, while Heimei slowly walked out with the canvas covering her head. Jiang Shuyin patted her little head, opened the car's storage box in the middle, and inside was the baby's special seat that she had prepared beforehand.

Hei Mei sat on it, looking just like a big doll. Jiang Shuyin loved Barbie dolls when she was a child and even made clothes for them. The clothes Hei Mei was wearing were made from her own old clothes. After all these years, her craftsmanship is still there.

Xie Yin's attention was focused on Qingwu and Feitao, his gaze following them as they drifted through the carriage.

"Let's go," Jiang Shuyin said softly.

"Um."

After shifting gears and starting the car, it took less than five minutes to reach the speed bump in the residential area. Jiang Shu exclaimed in surprise, "So close? How much does it cost to buy a house in this area? I heard that all the houses in Anshi are occupied. How can Minister Hu still get you a house?"

It should be considered an internal resource, not made public.

Xie Yin: "I can see your neighborhood from my house. They didn't say how much it cost. My building isn't fully occupied."

After parking the car, Xie Yin glanced into the stairwell; the car next to him had also driven around and returned.

Jiang Shuyin passed by and saw the driver get out first, take a folding wheelchair from the trunk, unfold it and place it on the ground, then carry the person out of the car and carefully place them on the wheelchair.

The young man's face was even whiter than a woman's, and his sculpted features softened his features. His dark hair partially obscured his eyes, and when he saw someone stop, he frowned slightly as he looked at her.

Jiang Shuyin gave an apologetic smile and turned to walk towards the stairwell.

The young man lowered his eyes, his heart trembling violently.

It's her.
