The courtyard was quiet, with only the guards at the gate still on duty. People outside were hurrying by; as the saying goes, three women make a drama.
But looking at the three people walking ahead, Xie Zhiyan could only shake his head, feeling helpless about not being able to fit in.
Song Zhaodi looked at her hands again: "Perhaps it's because I don't have to do heavy work now that I'm in the capital, my hands are much better than they were a few months ago. Even the wounds on my body have healed. Although there are still some faint scars, you can't see them unless you look closely. The scar removal medicine you gave me is really effective."
She originally had countless scars of all sizes on her arms, so Shu Ying specially gave her face cream and some scar-removing ointments.
She has been using it every morning and evening recently, and not only have her scars healed a lot, but her skin has also become smoother.
Song Zhaodi spoke frankly, and for the first time told Shu Ying what was in her heart: "Although I've always been the one taking care of you and the children outside, I know in my heart that you've always been the one taking care of me. I am who I am today because of you. Although you are younger than me, you are indeed my benefactor."
She rarely said such things, always feeling they were too cheesy. Sometimes, the mutual appreciation between women can simply be a matter of telepathy.
Huang Meiling said "good" several times, then glanced at Xie Zhiyan next to her with some disdain: "It's good that you don't mind this blockhead, Yingying, otherwise I would have lost such a good daughter."
Xie Zhiyan: ...
Sarcasm and veiled criticism?
Shu Ying glanced over and saw Xie Zhiyan's barely perceptible expression.
Her curved eyebrows and eyes couldn't hide her smile, and then she took Xie Zhiyan's arm with both hands.
"Of course I don't mind. He's the person I chose myself. I only married him because I liked him. Otherwise, I would never have agreed to the marriage."
Shu Ying's words made Xie Zhiyan straighten his chest even more, like a rooster full of fighting spirit.
Back home, the living room light was still on, and Li Qingqing sat on the sofa knitting clothes for the children with yarn in her hands.
Knowing that the family still had something to say, Li Qingqing exchanged a few simple pleasantries with Shu Ying and then returned to the courtyard, leaving them alone.
Shu Ying went upstairs to check on the children's room, and Huang Meiling followed behind her stealthily, afraid of waking the two children.
"These two little ones sleep so soundly every day that even thunder outside can't wake them up."
Shu Ying carefully covered the two children with blankets and drew the curtains even tighter. Huang Meiling looked at the children sleeping soundly and couldn't stop smiling.
"Children have a lot of energy, so we need to let them play and move around a lot during the day so that they can rest well at night. Sleep is crucial for their growth."
She missed her two children terribly the last time she saw them. It's a pity that as their grandmother, she has been absent from their growth for so many years and can't be with them all the time. She feels sad whenever she thinks about it.
Yangyang and Yueyue lay on their respective beds, and a string of origami cranes that Shuying had taught them to fold were pasted on the wall, making the small room very cozy.
“The children have indeed grown a lot recently. It doesn’t seem like much to look at them right now, but their clothes from last year are all too small. They can’t even fit into the shirts Qingqing made for them.”
In fact, Yueyue is even taller than Yangyang. Xie Zhiyan and Shuying have good genes and provide their children with comprehensive nutrition, so the two little ones are much taller than their peers.
