Liu Xiulan and Zhang Hongxia came to help on their own initiative. By the time everyone left satisfied, Song Zhaodi and Li Qingqing had already collected a lot of deposits.
"Yingying, I have so many orders here, I need to go back and sort them out first. I won't bother you any longer. If you need any help, just call me over the wall and I'll come over as soon as I hear you."
For the first time, Li Qingqing felt that she was truly useful, and a sense of satisfaction rose in her heart.
Shu Ying smiled, genuinely happy for him. "Go ahead. If you're too busy, just bring Tuantuan over. I don't have anything to do here, so looking after the child is just something I do on the side."
Li Qingqing was grateful. Knowing that Xie Zhiyan had just been discharged from the hospital and needed to spend time alone with Shu Ying, she only said a few words and did not disturb him further.
After seeing Li Qingqing off, Song Zhaodi turned around and met Xie Zhiyan's gaze. Xie Zhiyan looked a little younger than her, but he had already reached this position at such a young age, which could indeed be described as remarkable for his age.
She simply smiled politely and greeted him with great tact, "Hello, Chief Xie."
Xie Zhiyan felt the same way, as if the two of them had known each other for a long time.
He waved his hand, still holding the two children, and said, "Sister Song, you don't need to be so polite. Yingying said that you've been busy helping out at home these past few days. These things should have been done by me. Just call me by my name. I'm not a very formal person and I'm usually very easygoing at home."
After he finished speaking, he thought of the farce that Ding Rumei had just caused. She was framed and criticized at every turn. In the end, Song Zhaodi was wronged.
“My cousin must have caused you a lot of trouble during her stay. Yingying is a kind person and doesn’t know how to express herself. She told me at the hospital that you have been helping her find solutions. I’m sorry that today’s incident scared you.”
Song Zhaodi's smile deepened. She had initially thought Xie Zhiyan was a very serious person, but she hadn't expected him to be so reasonable.
"It's nothing, you and Yingying don't need to take it to heart. What I did was what I should do. Besides, you paid me quite a bit of wages. I can't just eat, drink, and live there for free."
She glanced towards the kitchen. "The food is ready. Let's go in, wash our hands, and eat."
Shu Ying had given advance notice, saying that Xie Zhiyan was being discharged from the hospital today and she would be cooking a good meal.
Yangyang and Yueyue got off him, and Song Zhaodi led them into the house to wash their hands. The two little ones, one on each side, seemed to have eaten a book of "100,000 Whys," chattering away with all sorts of questions.
Song Zhaodi didn't find it annoying at all, and she carefully answered the questions she could answer.
Xie Zhiyan stared at the scene, even more lost in thought. When the three of them walked together, they looked just like a family.
"Aunt Song, you said yesterday that there are many small red fruits that can be eaten in the countryside. Mom has cleared out a large area in the yard. Could you plant those small red fruits?"
The two children lived in a place that was better than the average family. Shu Ying didn't know much about the crops in the fields, and the two children knew even less.
Fortunately, the two little ones' thirst for knowledge was finally satisfied these past two days with Song Zhaodi. Song Zhaodi is like an encyclopedia walking in the fields; she can tell you the origin of any random blade of grass.
