"This is what I should do. Why are you always so polite to me? From now on, we are family. Your child is my child. If anything happens to me in the future, I believe you will treat my child as your own. Qingqing, we only have each other, so my kindness to you is only natural. You don't need to be so grateful."
Li Qingqing nodded gently. Every time Shu Ying shared these heart-to-heart talks with her, she felt as if they had known each other in a past life, which was why they had such a deep understanding in this life.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. It's good that you've recovered so quickly. Now that you've received your letter of introduction, everything will be a new beginning once we get to the capital. No one will be able to make things difficult for you anymore, and you'll be free to go anywhere."
Shu Ying's voice was tinged with joy as she spoke, and Tuan Tuan's bright, grape-like eyes kept darting around.
Li Qingqing's lips unconsciously curled into a slight smile: "It's strange, but Tuantuan won't let anyone hold him except me. He's only very affectionate with you. Yesterday, when you went out, the nurse helped watch over him for a while, and the little guy was so upset. He cried his heart out and only calmed down when I held him."
I don’t know if it’s because the first person I see when I open my eyes is Shu Ying, but every time Tuan Tuan sees Shu Ying, she smiles with her little mouth. She’s such a small child, but she can tell the difference between close and distant relatives.
Shu Ying touched the baby's fair and tender face with one hand. Li Qingqing's breast milk was good. Although the little guy was premature, he was chubby and looked like a strong young man.
"This shows that our Tuantuan is smart. Ordinary people can't take him away. I hope he can still stick to me like this when he grows up."
Li Qingqing smiled, she was already able to get out of bed and walk around: "You think this way now, but when you have your own thoughts and challenge you, I don't know how angry you'll be."
The two of them imagined what their children would look like when they grew up, where they would be then, and how they would be living.
Nobody knew, but Li Qingqing was really looking forward to it.
As if understanding, Tuantuan smiled even more happily at Shuying, waving his white, lotus-root-like arms incessantly.
Shu Ying's heart almost melted when she saw him looking at the doll-like figure in the New Year's picture.
She bent down slightly and picked him up: "Tuantuan needs to be fed. You feed the baby first. I'll go pick up Yangyang and Yueyue. When I get back, I'll tidy up the ward. We can be discharged today and then go buy train tickets together."
Shu Ying had already calculated the time. There was another train to Beijing at noon today, and they would be able to arrive in Beijing in two days at most.
Li Qingqing had just given birth and was still in her postpartum period. If it weren't for unavoidable circumstances, Shu Ying wouldn't have wanted her to go through such a bumpy ride, but the situation was indescribable.
Li Qingqing held the child in her arms and gently patted his bottom: "Okay, then you go quickly. After I finish feeding him, I'll tidy up the hospital first. See if there's anything else you need. I have some money here, you can take it to buy some things."
As she spoke, she turned to reach for the money in the inner pocket of her clothes on the bedside table, but Shu Ying stopped her.
“I still have some money on hand. You should keep yours safe. When we get there, we’ll need more money. Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. Even if I’m down on my luck, I won’t be unable to support our child.”
She patted Li Qingqing's hand, her words revealing her plans for the future.
“What I’m most worried about right now is your health. We’ll be on the train for two days, and then we’ll have to take a bus. You’re still in your postpartum period, so what if you get sick on the way? Never mind, I’ll prepare some medicine in advance, just in case.”
Shu Ying was very thoughtful; she had already arranged all the itineraries. Li Qingqing's eyes were filled with admiration.
