Besides, they all live in the family compound, so they can visit the children anytime they want.
This closeness is the greatest comfort.
The two sat for a while longer, and Yang Wenlan talked a lot about Zhenzhen.
Su Qingzhi could tell that Yang Wenlan cared for the child from the bottom of his heart.
Zhenzhen remembers everything clearly: what she likes to eat, whether she's afraid of cats and dogs, and what stories she likes to hear before bed.
If it weren't for the hurdle of her mother-in-law, Zhenzhen might have already accepted her as her mother.
But some destinies cannot be forced.
Zhenzhen has a hard life; she lost her parents when she was young.
But it wasn't entirely hopeless; at least God left him a glimmer of hope.
Which of those women didn't secretly slip him candy?
Who hasn't secretly knitted a little sweater?
They were not his biological parents, but they gave him the most genuine warmth during his loneliest time.
He didn't become a cold and vicious child, all because of these people.
In the afternoon, Yang Wenlan had to go to work and couldn't stay any longer.
After they finished talking and said some comforting words, they went their separate ways.
That evening, He Zaizhou brought over the adoption paperwork.
Su Qingzhi asked He Zaizhou for help and brought a set of Zhenzhen's change of clothes to the hospital.
That evening, Su Qingzhi brought the child to the ward.
The nurses' station gave him the green light and allowed him to stay overnight.
The conditions were a bit rudimentary, but it was still better than leaving a five-year-old child alone in an empty house.
It was only then that He Zaizhou suddenly woke up.
They thought that providing food, clothing, and adequate daily care was enough.
But children want more than just that.
"Ah Chuan, where did this chicken soup come from?"
Su Qingzhi sat on the edge of the bed and asked softly.
"It was delivered by Chef Liu from the kitchen."
Shen Zhiyu leaned against the pillow.
"The man rushed to the ward door, put a pot of chicken soup on the ground, turned around and ran away without saying a word, as if he were a thief."
When Yang Wenbing heard about this, he chased after him and called him back, and that's when he found out what had happened.
It turns out that Chef Liu specially prepared this soup to nourish Shen Zhiyu's body.
He said that Su Qingzhi has been feeding him delicious food lately.
Isn't this the kind of affection we seek in this life?
He doesn't have any other skills, he can only make soup, and that's enough to show his appreciation.
Su Qingzhi was stunned when she heard this.
She brought food for Mr. Liu out of gratitude.
Who would have thought that not only did Master Liu not accept her kindness, but he also sent her back such a big pot of soup?
"Drink it while it's hot, I'll thank him later."
"You drink too."
She paused for a moment, then smiled.
"There's still plenty left. I'll serve myself later. You drink first, so it doesn't get cold."
"good."
He agreed readily, without saying much, and slowly began to drink.
This soup is indeed very generous in portion, with a whole old hen and several medicinal herbs.
Seeing that there was still a lot left in the pot, Su Qingzhi picked up a clean bowl and ladled a bowl for Yang Wenbing, who was sitting at the table.
Yang Wenbing was stunned, staring wide-eyed at Su Qingzhi, his face full of disbelief.
She couldn't help but laugh when she saw this.
"It's so hot, the soup won't last overnight. If you don't drink it today, it'll go bad tomorrow, it's such a waste to throw it away. Don't just stand there, drink it now."
Yang Wenbing was still somewhat uneasy.
Shen Zhiyu, however, remained indifferent.
“Your sister-in-law gave it to you, so just take it.”
Yang Wenbing felt relieved and finally put his mind at ease.
"Thank you, sister-in-law... I'm so sorry to have troubled you with all this money."
Su Qingzhi shook her head and smiled.
"Don't be shy, we're all family. You train with Brother Chen every day, you must be exhausted, what's a bowl of soup to you?"
Indeed, Yang Wenbing has been helping Shen Zhiyu walk almost every day recently.
Shen Zhiyu is tall and strong, but during his recovery period after the injury, he was unsteady on his feet and needed someone to support him on both sides to walk.
Although Yang Wenbing is young and not very strong, he is extremely serious.
Shen Zhiyu didn't rely entirely on him; rather, he gradually regained muscle memory with the help of crutches and his support.
Yang Wenbing was always exhausted and covered in sweat after each training session.
Su Qingzhi would invite him to stay for dinner, and every time he would verbally agree, he would turn around and run away faster than a rabbit.
She couldn't persuade him otherwise, and assumed he was just being shy.
Today, this bowl of soup finally made him sit down obediently and drink a sip in peace.
Judging from his expression, he seemed to be enjoying his drink quite a bit, with a smile playing on his lips.
Zhouzhou and Zhenzhen couldn't drink the soup.
Su Qingzhi could smell the angelica in the soup, knowing it was for replenishing qi and blood, but it wouldn't be good for children to drink it.
She then picked out the two most tenderly stewed chicken legs and gave one to each of them.
Zhouzhou is young and doesn't have a big appetite. After a few bites, she was so full that she shook her head.
"I'm full, I don't want any more!"
Zhenzhen, however, is different.
He sat up straight, his little face serious, eating each bite with utmost care.
The remaining soup and meat naturally ended up in Shen Zhiyu's stomach.
With Zhenzhen around, Su Qingzhi's life has indeed become much easier.
Although the child wasn't her biological child, he was so sensible that it broke her heart.
He had long regarded being an older brother as a serious responsibility.
Every morning, I take Zhouzhou to play in the yard.
What's even more exciting is that the news of Zhenzhen being officially adopted by the Shen family spread throughout the entire residential compound within just a few days.
Those women who usually love to visit each other's homes were now going to the hospital in groups of three or five.
Just to catch a glimpse of what this young mistress of the Shen family looks like.
That day, Su Qingzhi was carrying a bamboo basket she had just bought groceries for.
