Although children wouldn't necessarily get lost in the compound, Shu Ying was still worried about the two children waking up to find no one at home. With Li Qingqing there, she felt a little more at ease.
Xie Zhiyan agreed, "Okay."
After Li Qingqing brought Tuantuan over, Xie Zhiyan and Shu Ying led Song Zhaodi out in a very low-key manner.
The station is not far from the compound; there is a bus stop less than 800 meters away. Huang Meiling usually gets off at the bus stop closest to the compound.
Xie Zhiyan raised his arm and glanced at the time. The dim streetlights cast long shadows of the three people.
Song Zhaodi had prepared herself mentally for a long time and finally managed to calm down, but looking at the road in the distance, her heart started pounding again.
Shu Ying took her arm with both hands and changed the subject, "Sister Song, we have to go to the hospital first thing tomorrow morning. I've already spoken to Qingqing. She'll have to make the bibs by herself tomorrow. When you get back, see if there's anything you two need to hand over."
Huang Meiling could only come back for one day. Although the paternity test had not yet been done, Shu Ying was basically certain of the outcome.
When she returned, it was the first time the mother and daughter had reunited, so they naturally had to have a good talk.
Song Zhaodi stood on tiptoe and glanced at the intersection in the distance. She had originally intended to do the same, but Li Qingqing had to take care of the child and make bibs all by herself, so she couldn't bring herself to ask for a day off.
Shu Ying had already thought of this for her, and she was filled with gratitude.
"There's not much to explain. She's much more skillful than me. She taught me all the rudimentary skills I know. It's just that she might be a bit slower working alone, but it will only take me a day at most."
As the two were talking, a bright headlight shone from a distance.
Song Zhaodi subconsciously shrank behind Shu Ying, but then realized that it was the person she had been waiting for for a long time, so she couldn't help but crane her neck to look ahead.
Shu Ying noticed her hesitation and took her hand to lead her forward. "This is the car. Grandma probably didn't bring much. Zhiyan, see if there's anything you need to carry."
Xie Zhiyan obeyed without question. Song Zhaodi and Shu Ying walked side by side. After a short while, the car came to a stop, the door was opened, and a figure slowly got out of the car. Huang Meiling couldn't wait to run out of the car.
As soon as the car turned the corner, she opened the window and looked in this direction. In the distance, she saw Shu Ying and Song Zhaodi beside her, and her hands began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Mom, you must be exhausted from rushing back so late at night. How are you feeling? Do you want to rest first?"
Shu Ying took two steps forward, and Huang Meiling held her hand tightly. "It's alright. The journey was relatively smooth, and I didn't feel too tired. It's just that your father is too stubborn. I told him not to bother you. It's not like I don't know him."
After she finished speaking, her gaze was fixed on Song Zhaodi beside her.
She recognized him as early as when they were in the car. Huang Meiling's eyes reddened, and a wave of sadness washed over her.
Xie Zhiyan readily took her things, and Shu Ying took a step back, introducing her familiarly, "Mom, this is Sister Song, she—"
“My daughter, I’ve finally met you. I’ve been wondering what you look like all the way here. No wonder Yingying and Ayan recognized you at a glance. I know in my heart that you are my daughter.”
