After everyone left, Xiao Gengwu pulled Yao Tongjia aside and said, "You sleep here for a bit, I'll watch over Mom and the others!"
Xiao Yan nodded, "If it weren't inconvenient for this brat to accompany me to the toilet, I would have let him take care of me. You should take a nap on the sofa!"
The single room had a sofa, probably for the person keeping watch. Yao Tongjia didn't hesitate: "I'll take a nap, Brother Xiao, you can sleep later. Remember to wake me up, you have to go back to pick up the old man during the day!"
Xiao Gengwu readily agreed. Seeing that Yao Tongjia fell asleep almost instantly, he knew that she definitely hadn't taken a nap. Fortunately, the weather wasn't cold, otherwise it wouldn't be good for her to sleep like that!
Seeing her son not only growing up healthy but also being able to take care of others, Xiao Yan was very gratified: "Mom is so happy that you can take care of others and that there are people to take care of you!"
Xiao Gengwu glanced at his younger sister and found her sleeping as well. He then looked at his mother's pale face and said, "Mom, thank you for never giving up on me!"
He has memories of his time in Beijing. His mother was willing to give up her comfortable life and take him out of Beijing, which was of course at the request of his maternal grandparents.
But the most important point is that the mother doesn't want her son to live under the comparison of Grandma Chen all the time, even though he is actually very strong-willed and not afraid of comparison.
But that kind of life certainly wouldn't be so wonderful, and I wouldn't have met Yao Tongjia. I would probably have lived my whole life in a daze.
If I did that, I would really be ruined, and I wouldn't be so happy now. A person's soul is imprisoned every day, but their consciousness is very clear, clearly aware of every encounter they have.
They also have an amazing memory, remembering every detail. They are disliked, insulted, and compared to others every day. They have lived like this for decades.
Even if he regains his senses and has a high IQ, he will become a useless person. He can't guarantee that his mind won't become twisted and that he won't become a terrible person!
Now he is very grateful for his mother's decisiveness in quitting her stable job and taking her child out of Beijing to the backward countryside.
She then settled into a peaceful life, even using her meager salary to buy all sorts of books to satisfy her intellectual needs. How could I not admire such a mother?!
Xiao Yan looked at her eldest son with gentle eyes, then at her youngest daughter, her heart filled with happiness. She smiled and said, "I'm also grateful for my courage back then; now we can all be happy!"
If she doesn't leave Beijing, she will never be able to escape that scumbag Chen Zhiyuan, and she will be entangled with him for the rest of her life. Just thinking about it makes her feel disgusted.
That scumbag won't think he has any problems; he'll definitely use psychological manipulation to make her think it's all her fault.
He could have women on both sides and move between two families, while she had to live with that old lady Chen, a person with warped values.
Just thinking about it makes her feel hopeless. Those ten-plus years in the countryside were tough, but it was just that life was hard. She had Yao Yanxin's companionship, so she didn't really feel like she lacked anything.
Sometimes I really feel that having a good best friend is better than having a good husband. Just as Xiao Yan was thinking this, a shadow rushed in, startling Xiao Gengwu.
Thinking someone was trying to snatch the child, he punched the person, hitting them right in the eye, but the person didn't even cry out.
Instead, his voice was gentle: "Wife, I'm home!"
The hospital lights were a dim yellow light. When Xiao Gengwu heard the word "wife," he stared intently and wanted to facepalm. He really was a man with eagle eyes!
Xiao Yan was also startled just now, because the shadow looked like a beggar. Now that he had been standing there for a while, an unpleasant smell wafted over him.
Even with her biased view, Xiao Yan was disgusted: "Go back and take a shower before you come back. Look how smelly you are!"
The man with eagle eyes was about to approach his wife, but after she said something, he had to take two steps back: "Honey, are you alright? I just got back and heard you gave birth, so I rushed over!"
Xiao Yan resisted the urge to reach out: "I have so many people with me, it's fine. You can go back and take a shower, eat something, and come see me again tomorrow!"
Xiao Yan knew that these people didn't have much time to rest when they went on a mission. He had been gone for more than half a month and definitely hadn't had a proper rest.
The eagle-eyed man hurriedly walked towards the door: "I'll be right there after I've finished showering!"
Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel sorry for him: "Cook something for yourself before you come over!"
But the person had already gone far away, and she didn't know if they had heard her or not. She couldn't help but complain, "They don't even know how to take care of themselves!"
Yao Tongjia had already been woken up, so she decided not to go back to sleep and sat up: "If he washes himself clean, gets a good night's sleep and a good meal before coming to see you, you'll probably be heartbroken!"
Xiao Yan's heart skipped a beat. Yes! If he knew she had just given birth and still didn't take care of himself before slowly coming over, then what was the point of having him here?
The thought of this man coming over smelly filled her with sweetness: "When he comes over, let him stay here and watch over my daughter and me. You all go back!"
Yao Tongjia picked up a lunchbox: "I brought three lunchboxes earlier, I ate two, and the last one is cold. Uncle Ying can eat it, Aunt Xiao, you don't need to eat it!"
Are you hungry? I'll cook you something when we get back.
Xiao Yan thought of the stove in the duty room: "No need to run around, just take your lunchbox to the office to heat it up. I see you made two poached eggs."
"I'll eat a fried egg first, and then I'll let him finish all the noodles!"
Yao Tongjia stood up, and Xiao Gengwu took the lunchbox away: "I'll heat it up, you guys chat here!"
The man with eagle eyes was incredibly fast. When he arrived, covered in sweat, Xiao Gengwu had just finished heating up the noodles in his lunchbox, so he simply handed them to the man with eagle eyes.
"Uncle Eagle, you feed Mommy some, and you can eat the rest yourself. Tongtong and I will go back first and bring you breakfast tomorrow morning!"
The man with eagle eyes took the lunchbox, his hands trembling slightly and his eyes a little moist. Now he was someone who cared about him. Who had cared about his life or death before?
He smiled warmly and said, "You can sleep in a little later tomorrow. I can get your mother's breakfast at the cafeteria. She just gave birth, so the cafeteria will make brown sugar eggs and send them over!"
He already knew all of this. Xiao Gengwu shook his head: "I have to go back tomorrow to bring two elderly people over. I'll wake up early. My mother is fine. You should get some sleep too!"
The hawk-eyed man's smile widened: "I will, you two go back now!"
He turned around and saw his wife looking at him. He hugged his wife and daughter together, his heart full: "Thank you, my wife, thank you for giving me a home."
