If it weren't for their two kids constantly nagging them, they probably wouldn't have bothered to spend the time and effort to find it.
So... it seems like neither of them is that kind.
Xu Yan thought to himself.
“You two are just too soft-hearted and kind,” Li Aihua said, not waiting for Xu Yan’s reply and not thinking anything of it.
“I heard that the child was quite ill. Even his family might not have gone to the lengths you have. He stayed in the city hospital for almost half a month. Putting aside the expenses, just the effort you put into taking care of him in the ward every day, it’s almost as if he’s not your biological child.”
"When the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination came today, which scholar in the entire Qingshan Brigade wasn't excited? Who wasn't scrambling to find textbooks?"
"Only your Xie Zhuo would go all the way to the city to get his child medical treatment..."
Li Aihua went on and on praising Xu Yan, and in the end, she even said that she could tell he was a good person just by looking at his face.
Xu Yan laughed, "Sister-in-law, you're so good at praising people."
“As the old saying goes, your appearance reflects your heart,” Li Aihua said. “You’re so beautiful, you can’t be a bad person.”
On the third day after Xie Zhuo went to the city, he went home. Not only did he return, but he also brought back a set of review outlines that he had somehow obtained.

Da Bao and Xiao Bao sat opposite each other doing their homework.
The two kids would occasionally look up at their third uncle and aunt. These past few days, it had only been the three of them at home, and they felt very uncomfortable, always missing the feeling of the four of them sitting together.
When you're studying hard and making the most of every minute, time flies. After another half month, Lin Dong was more and more awake during the day and started talking more and more.
When Xu Yan appeared in the ward with Da Bao and Xiao Bao, he was stunned at first, and then he cried.
During the time he was unconscious, he could always hear a gentle female voice calling his name, and sometimes it would tell him stories.
Although he couldn't quite remember what the story was about, and as his health improved, he almost began to think of these things as hallucinations.
Now he heard the exact same sound again.
Those are all true.
"Third Aunt," Lin Dong called out to Xu Yan.
When he first went to Xie Zhan and Xie Jingyi's house, they told him that since all the other children in the brigade called her "Auntie," he could just call her "Auntie" too.
But he didn't. He joined them in calling her "Third Aunt," so that he could temporarily feel that he also had this warm family atmosphere.
Although brief, that night left a deep impression on him.
"Oh dear, why are you crying?"
Xu Yan hurried over, but before she could get close to the bed, Da Bao and Xiao Bao pounced on her.
