“Qingqing, none of the things you’re worried about have happened yet. Besides, what you’re describing is only the worst-case scenario. Even if he never wakes up again, as long as I’m here, you and the baby won’t go hungry.”
Even though Duan Huaichuan didn't have deep feelings for her, Li Qingqing still cared about him when she heard he was injured.
She unbuttoned her shirt and began breastfeeding Tuantuan.
Tuantuan waved her fair little arms, perhaps because she had found something to eat, her eyes crinkling with a constant smile.
"You said we've already weathered the worst of it, and now that we're away from those bloodsuckers, are you saying our lives will only get worse?"
Deep down, Shu Ying naturally didn't want anything to happen to Duan Huaichuan, but they couldn't help but make plans for the future.
Even if things really came to that point out of necessity, Li Qingqing could use the compensation money to raise Tuantuan to adulthood. Their arrival at this crucial moment was just right.
Li Qingqing gently patted Tuantuan with one hand, sighing incessantly.
Shu Ying simply patted her arm gently: "You don't need to worry so much. The best hospitals in Beijing are all here, and there are so many excellent doctors in the hospitals. Duan Huaichuan will eventually wake up."
After finishing her milk, Tuantuan gradually closed her eyes, while Li Qingqing was preoccupied with her thoughts.
“Yingying, I’ve thought about it and decided to take Tuantuan to see Duan Huaichuan. The father and son haven’t met yet, and he probably doesn’t know that he has a son. Although he’s still in the hospital, now that I’m here, I can’t just sit here and wait.”
She didn't know when she would hear from the hospital, and knowing that Duan Huaichuan was seriously injured, she couldn't pretend not to know.
Shu Ying naturally understood this feeling, but before she could speak, Li Qingqing had already walked out of the yard with the child in her arms.
Shu Ying's eyelids twitched, as if something was about to happen. That inexplicable feeling from the train trip came over her again.
She hurriedly chased after him to the door: "Qingqing, wait for me, I'll go with you!"
But she came out late, and Li Qingqing didn't hear her calls. She hurriedly walked away.
Yueyue and Yangyang heard Shuying's shouts and came out to chase after her, but they couldn't even see a shadow of Li Qingqing, let alone her.
"Mom, where did Aunt Qingqing go?"
Shu Ying gently patted Yangyang's head: "Auntie's husband was seriously injured. She took little Tuantuan to see him and will be back soon."
She looked at the road they had come from; it was their first day here, and they were completely unfamiliar with the place.
Although they had already asked Li Dongfang and the others for the address of the military hospital, they had never been there before, as they were quite unfamiliar with the place.
"Mom, is the hospital far from where we live? Does it take Aunt Qingqing a long time to walk there?"
Yueyue looked at Shuying with her round eyes, somewhat puzzled as to why Aunt Qingqing wanted to go to the hospital so soon after they arrived at this place.
Shu Ying pinched her fair and tender little face: "It's not very far, it should only be a ten-minute walk, but Aunt Qingqing just gave birth, and little Tuantuan is still young. They are the two people who need the most care, and it's inevitable that people will worry about them going out alone."
But Shu Ying also understands Li Qingqing.
Although she may seem gentle, once she's made up her mind, nothing can change it.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone along with the situation and gotten married to Duan Huaichuan.
Yangyang looked in the distance and asked in his childish voice, "Can't we go with them? Mom knows where the hospital is, so we can go together."
Shu Ying paused. That was indeed what she had just thought, but Song Zhaodi was also at home, and she was not familiar with this place either.
Furthermore, Li Qingqing and Duan Huaichuan haven't seen each other for so long, and even if he's still unconscious, Li Qingqing should have a lot to say to him.
In addition, given the patient's current unstable condition, it is not appropriate for too many people to visit in such a setting.
“Tuantuan’s dad might be in a bad situation. If too many of us go, we’ll pass the virus on to him. Once he’s feeling better, Mom will take you there, okay?”
The two little ones nodded at the same time, their obedient appearance almost melting Shu Ying's heart.
In the midst of endless suffering, two little ones appeared in her life as sweet as candy.
Shu Ying gently patted their backs: "This place will be our home from now on. When Mom came over, I saw lots of exercise equipment in the courtyard, and lots of kids playing there. Why don't you two go and make some new friends?"
Shu Ying always takes her children to various occasions so that they can adapt to different environments more quickly.
Now, whenever they go to a new place, the two children show curiosity and are not shy at all.
Since we plan to live here long-term, it's essential for the two children to familiarize themselves with the surrounding environment and people.
Yangyang took Yueyue's hand and said, "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely protect my little sister."
Yueyue also looked in the direction they came from with an expectant expression.
When she came over with those uncles, she noticed that there was a large playground in the open space of the courtyard, which had not only swings, but also seesaws and slides.
"Mom, there are lots of fun things there. Can my brother and I play with them? I see there's a big sandpit over there. If we get our clothes dirty, I can wash them myself."
She made that promise in her childish voice every month.
When her mother came, she dressed her in a very simple coat. Her favorite thing to do was to build all kinds of sandcastles.
But she is also a very pretty girl who usually wears dresses of various colors, and she is reluctant to run in the sandpit.
This outfit would definitely be suitable for building a castle.
Shu Ying never restricted her children's playful nature. Even when the two of them got completely dirty while playing in the mud, she never scolded them.
"You can go, just be careful. There are many children there, so don't get into any arguments with them. If anyone bullies you, just come back to your mother."
Yangyang's eyes shone brightly: "I knew Mom was the best to us. Mom, you are the best mom in the world!"
Shu Ying was overjoyed by the little guy; her heart felt like it was soaking in a honey pot.
She waved to them: "Go ahead, but don't go too far. Remember to come home after you've played for a while. If any of the other children invite you to go play somewhere else, be sure to come back and tell your mom!"
