Gao Jing quickly went back to the kitchen, took out the thermos, found two clean cups, and poured hot water into them.
"If you don't have tea leaves, just make do with some hot water! How about we have dumplings for lunch?"
There's no meat or vegetables left at home. I glanced over and all I had was a bunch of chives. Then I remembered there were two eggs in the basket. Perfect for making chive dumplings, though I'm worried they'll find it too meager. But there's not much else I can do.
“We can just have a bite, there’s no need to go to all that trouble. Besides, we can help with making dumplings, so the sooner we finish, the sooner we can eat.” Qiao Xiaoni said, taking off her clothes and putting them on the shelf in the corner.
Su Chenhao was now certain that this woman was definitely closely related to Qiao Xiaoni.
Gao Jing naturally nodded in agreement. Anyway, that's how her family's situation is, and they can all see it, so there's no need to hide anything.
Qiao Xiaoni went to the kitchen and saw that it was clean and tidy, partly because there was nothing there. The chives were laid out on the floor, looking quite wilted. There was a small stool nearby. She looked around, found a basin, and then sat down to pick up the chives.
Gao Jing was deeply moved. They not only saved her son, but they were also so approachable. Such good people are rare in this world!
Gao Jing also sat down on the small stool she had brought and quickly picked up the chives.
"Judging from your accents, you two don't sound like you're from around here. Where are you from?"
“My home is more than 2,000 miles away from here! It’s a remote little mountain village, not worth mentioning.”
"Oh! So what are you doing here? Working?"
“I was in college, and he opened a barbecue shop nearby.”
"So amazing!" Gao Jing began to admire the young couple, who had accomplished so much at such a young age.
Gao Jianjun stood at the doorway, watching. He'd fallen into the water today, but now that he was home, he wasn't so scared anymore. He looked at the uncles and aunts who had come back with them, filled with curiosity.
Qiao Xiaoni saw the cute child take out a White Rabbit milk candy from his pocket, walked over and stuffed it into his hand.
"Eat!"
Gao Jianjun hadn't eaten candy for a long time. When he suddenly saw candy, he was about to shout out his joy when his throat started to hurt again, so he had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.
Qiao Xiaoni spoke again, asking, "Where is the child's father?"
Gao Jing sighed: "I'm divorced from him. I come back to see the children occasionally."
"Why did you get divorced?" Qiao Xiaoni was indignant, feeling that the man was irresponsible.
Gao Jing: "Well, it's mainly because of the child's illness. I took the child to see doctors everywhere against his wishes. We incurred a lot of debt, to the point that we couldn't even keep the house."
He didn't actually say anything, but I felt he was under too much pressure, so I brought up divorce.
This way, it's good for both of us, and we'll both be at peace. Actually, I just want to let him go. Do you understand what I mean?
Qiao Xiaoni quickly understood what was going on. Gao Jing was a kind person who just wanted everyone around her to be happy. She didn't care about compromising herself.
Will he come back to see the children?
Gao Jing nodded: "Yes, they will occasionally send me some money, and they will call me from time to time to chat."
I know he hasn't let go of us. I don't want to hold him back anymore; it's better for one person to suffer than for two.
