Shu Ying was both amused and exasperated: "Yangyang, no father would eat his child."
Yangyang pouted somewhat reluctantly and didn't say anything more.
Although he was not satisfied with his father, he was still quite excited about taking the train for the first time soon.
"Mommy, Mommy, what does a train look like? My brother Zhuangzhuang said he's ridden a train before. It's a long, green worm. People have to go inside its belly, and when they get to their destination, they have to come out of its belly again. The train eats us up, so why does it pull us out?"
Yangyang's eyes darted around, but he was also clearly listening intently. Both little ones were curious about trains, so Shuying took out a picture book.
"This book contains many of the modes of transportation we use now. The train isn't a big green worm; it's a very fast vehicle. You'll find the answers to all your questions here. You and your brother should read the book carefully, and you'll understand after you finish reading it."
The two little ones are eager to learn, and the different picture books that Shuying brings back every day are their most direct way of connecting with the outside world.
The two little ones were engrossed in reading. Shu Ying glanced outside and instructed, "Yangyang, Yueyue, Mommy needs to go to the hospital to visit your godmother. You two stay home and behave yourselves. If you get bored while reading, you can take a walk in the yard, but don't wander off until Mommy comes back, okay?"
The two children nodded in unison: "We know, Mom."
Shu Ying cleared the table of dishes and chopsticks, and before leaving, she instructed, "If anything happens, call for Mom immediately. Mom will come right away if she hears you."
Yangyang waved his little arm confidently: "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely protect my little sister. We will wait for you to come back at home."
Yangyang would say something, and Yueyue would follow up with, "I will listen to my brother. Goodbye, Mom."
The two children couldn't wait to immerse themselves in the world of the picture book again. Shuying took some noodles from the kitchen, added two fried eggs to them, and then went out of the space.
"Knock knock knock—"
Shu Ying gently knocked on the door of the ward.
She appeared at just the right time, not long after Li Qingqing had woken up.
Only after hearing a response from inside did Shu Ying push open the door.
"You must be hungry by now, right? I saw you weren't awake yet this morning, so I went home and cooked some noodles for you. Have something to eat first, since Tuantuan will be coming over to nurse later."
Shu Ying was carrying a thermos. Seeing this, Li Qingqing felt guilty and tried to sit up from the bed: "Yesterday you were busy running around in the hospital all by yourself and didn't have time to rest properly. You went out early this morning to cook for me. Yingying, I'm really a burden to you. I don't know what I can do for you."
Shu Ying quickly took two steps forward, put down the thermos in her hand, and took a pillow from the side to put behind her back, providing support for her lower back.
"What's the big deal? It's just cooking a meal. It won't kill you. You need someone to take care of you in your current situation. Humans are social animals. Who can guarantee that I won't need your help someday?"
