Six plates of dumplings were cooked, but there was no soy sauce, so Su Chenhao went downstairs to get a bottle. He also saw that the convenience store sold ready-made soybean oil, so he bought a bottle as well.
Gao Jing's eyes welled up with tears; they were truly rare good people in the world, and she knew she had to work hard.
The meal was quite lively, even though it was just simple dumplings.
It wasn't until 1 p.m. that Qiao Xiaoni finally said goodbye and left, as she could no longer stay.
Gao Jing accompanied her son all the way downstairs.
"Go back! Don't see me off anymore. Once you quit your job, you can come work at the store," Qiao Xiaoni added, still worried.
Gao Jing nodded: "I've got it. I'll report to the store as soon as I quit my job. Be careful on the way."
Qiao Xiaoni waved to them, then turned and left with Su Chenhao. They soon arrived at the fork in the road and got into a taxi.
On the road.
Qiao Xiaoni leaned her head against Su Chenhao's chest, feeling melancholy as she thought about what had happened that morning. She couldn't quite describe the feeling.
Su Chenhao reached out and patted her back to comfort her.
After getting off the bus.
Qiao Xiaoni pulled Su Chenhao to the base of a tree by the wall.
"Gao Jing is the grandmother I told you about before. I grew up without parents. She took me out of the orphanage and gave me a home."
She allowed me to attend university peacefully and live a normal life. Without her, I might have ended up like any other girl, leaving the orphanage after adulthood to work, earning just enough to make ends meet.
Su Chenhao reached out and hugged her: "Since we can't go back, let's take this opportunity to repay her kindness in raising us."
“Yes, you and I are thinking the same thing. Let’s give her a suitable job first. You can tell she’s a rather stubborn person. If we give her a large sum of money for no reason, she’ll be scared and at a loss, and might even turn the money over to the police station.”
"Yes, she is a kind person, you can tell from how she treats children."
"I didn't see the child when I was adopted. It's very possible that the child died from drowning."
Now, because of us, her life trajectory has been changed. Who knows what will happen in the future?
"Actually, it's not just her. Didn't I meet you too? You don't need to worry about changing her life trajectory and making her life worse."
I feel that since fate brought us together, perhaps it was all preordained. Our life trajectories have been changed because of you.
Qiao Xiaoni thought that made sense. If it weren't for her arrival, what would everyone's fate have been like?
The Qiao family is probably still living in abject poverty, and the baby in Auntie's belly is probably long gone.
Thinking of my child, I calculated the days and realized it was about time to admit him to the hospital.
"Okay, I don't want to think about it anymore. Let's find a phone. I want to call home and ask about my aunt."
"Okay!" Su Chenhao let go of his hand, looked around, and saw a small shop not far ahead, just across the main road.
Once the crowd on the bus thinned out, they successfully crossed the main road and arrived at the convenience store.
They dialed the phone number of the small shop in town, and as soon as they explained their purpose, the shop owner was overjoyed and told them to wait.
"This boss is really generous; he's even giving up his business to help us call people," Qiao Xiaoni remarked, holding the phone.
