Fu Jinheng said with a smile.
"good."
Song Lan nodded, then said, "Dr. Fu, you're busy. The head nurse is looking for me, so I have to go right away."
"Go."
Fu Jinheng nodded slightly, watching Song Lan walk away.

Forest farm.
After a long day, Fu Wenhan made himself a simple dinner to fill his stomach. Then, he washed the pots and pans, cleaned the dishes, tidied up the stove, and took a walk around the open space in front of the dormitory.
Actually, he would prefer to go straight to bed and relax, but sleeping right after a meal is not good for his health. Therefore, he could only endure his fatigue, finish up the mess on the stove, take a walk to digest his food, and then wash up and go back to his room to rest.
Outside the window, the cold moonlight spread like frost across the ground. Fu Wenhan lay flat on the bed, feeling a little melancholy as he thought about how tomorrow was the weekend.
He was separated from his wife and children, and to this day, he still can't understand why his wife, who had pursued him so much and said how much she loved him, would resolutely leave him with their two children when he needed comfort the most, and quickly remarry someone else.
Could it be that everything she said back then was a lie?
After living together for many years, Fu Wenhan could feel that his wife loved him and that his children respected and admired him as their father. Perhaps, perhaps they just didn't want to suffer with him!
That's probably true.
While the children weren't exactly spoiled, they never cried, that much is undeniable; his wife… she's always been vain and avoids housework whenever possible. In other words, until the children were ten, he essentially took care of all the housework.
As the children grew up, to be precise, when they turned ten, I would occasionally lend them a hand with housework.
As a mother, I don't think there's anything wrong with it.
Looking back now, when she suddenly asked him for a divorce, she probably thought that if she continued to live with him, she would inevitably suffer and be unable to take good care of herself.
With this in mind, one naturally doesn't want to compromise oneself, and thus files for divorce without any hesitation.
They took their children and sought new support for the mother and her two children.
Fu Wenhan smiled wryly, feeling that what he was thinking now was probably the truth.
However, he did not blame his wife and children. After all, water flows downhill, and it is only natural for people to weigh the pros and cons and want to move uphill and live a comfortable life.
But... to say that there's no resentment in one's heart would be a lie.
At this moment, Fu Wenhan envied Qin's father from the bottom of his heart. Well, actually, he had envied Qin's father from the moment he became friends with Qin's father, learned about the Qin family's situation, and first met Song Lan.
His family never abandoned him and would visit him at the forest farm every two weeks. He even benefited from their presence. To be honest, these are his true family members, his relatives!
"Old Qin is gone. Lanlan probably won't come to the forest farm again, right?"
Fu Wenhan looked somewhat lost and forlorn. His lips twitched, and he couldn't help but murmur something under his breath.
Two weeks ago, Song Lan went to the forest farm. She usually goes every two weeks, but she didn't go last weekend. Qin's father returned to the capital the day before yesterday. At this moment, Fu Wenhan's mood was already low, so it was inevitable that he would think more.

Shisong Village.
“Your father-in-law has already returned to Beijing. Why didn’t you stay home and rest properly this weekend? Why did you ride all the way back to the village? Your father and I are in good health. We don’t need you to come home to visit us every now and then.”
Around eight or nine o'clock in the morning, Li Jumei saw Song Lan push the cart into the courtyard and immediately started chattering.
She wasn't disgusted that her daughter was coming home; she felt sorry for her. After all, she had to work and take care of the whole family, so she probably didn't have much rest time on weekdays. And there was only one weekend a week. In Li Jumei's opinion, Song Lanhe should stay home, relax, and have a good time.
Previously, she would return to the village every two weeks to visit her father-in-law at the forest farm. Now that her father-in-law is no longer at the forest farm, why does her daughter still make the long journey?
Li Jumei felt sorry for her!
"Mom, do you not welcome me home? Besides, this is my home. I can come back whenever I want, and you can't stop me!" After setting up the bike rack, Song Lan carried the things she bought for Li Jumei and Song Sanhe in one hand and took Li Jumei's arm with the other. The two of them walked straight into the living room.
"It's not that I'm stopping you from coming back, it's just that I don't want you to suffer."
Li Jumei shook her head, and the concern in her tone was easy to hear.
“I’m back to being a nurse now. My workload isn’t too heavy, and there’s not much for me to worry about at home. It’s really not that hard on me. Mom, you don’t need to worry about my health. But you and Dad should take good care of yourselves and not skimp on food.”
“We make sure you have three meals a day, so you should take care of yourself. It’s more important than anything else. Don’t worry about me and your dad all the time.”
"Okay, I'll listen to Mom."
Song Lan smiled and casually agreed.
"You can't just brush me off."
Li Jumei glanced at Song Lan and said, "Mom just hopes you are healthy and that your work goes smoothly. That would make Mom happy."
"I didn't just give a perfunctory answer."
Song Lan shook her head, then said, "The uncle who lived in the same room as my dad at the forest farm was a nice man, and he became friends with my dad. Now, although my dad has returned to the capital..."
But that uncle is still at the forest farm, so I thought I'd continue visiting him every two weeks, just like before, so he'd have something to look forward to.
"Oh, okay. Then you can go with your second brother later. Mom will go dig up two cabbages for you, and pack some eggs and other things for you to take to your uncle."
Li Jumei was always quick and efficient. As she spoke, she disappeared outside the main room before Song Lan could respond.
"Little sister (older sister)!"
When Song Qinghui, Song Qingbin, and Song Guoqing returned from their exercise, they all smiled and quickened their pace upon seeing Song Lan, calling out to her.
"Big brother, second brother, and little brother!"
Song Lan responded with a smile.
"Sister, you're here so early, are you going to the forest farm again?"
Song Guoqing asked.
"Um."
Song Lan nodded, and then said, "I'm going to visit Uncle Fu."
"I'll go with you."
Song Guoqing immediately responded.
Song Lan was about to speak when Song Qingbin's voice cut in front of her: "I'll keep my little sister company, you're not needed!"
"Little brother, you stay home and study hard. Your second brother and I will go."
Upon hearing Song Lan's words, the boy glanced at his second brother, Song Qinghui, before turning his gaze back to Song Lan and saying, "Sister, you're biased towards second brother!"
"Who said that? I'm the best to you. I don't want you to come with me because I don't want you to fall behind in your studies. Besides, I hope you can get into a good university. So, you have to put your studies first and don't worry about anything else!"
The boy is currently in the first year of junior high school and will graduate from high school in three years. If he studies hard from now on, he can take the college entrance examination in the second year after graduating from high school. At that time, he might be able to get into one of the top universities in the country.
