"Yan Zhi." Su Dong came over with food and called out. "Why are you standing by the door?"
"Oh, I'm fine." Yan Zhi wiped away her tears and took the rice from his hand. "Su Dong, can you go back for me and pack some clothes for the children?"
Su Dong was stunned, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go there."
"Thank you." Yan Zhi said habitually and walked into the ward.
Su Dong curled his fingers, turned around and left the hospital.
When Professor Yan heard the sound outside the door, he immediately climbed onto the bed and lay down, without even taking off his slippers, which were directly exposed.
Yan Zhi put the food on the table and asked, "Dad, when are you free?"
Professor Yan sat up from the bed and said with a smile: "I don't know why I was able to move just now."
Yan Zhi stared at his face and saw that he looked fine, so she let him go: "Don't scare me and mom like this next time. You're scaring us to death."
"Isn't this an accident?" Professor Yan was confused about what happened.
Before Yan Zhi left, she held the hands of the two elders of the Yan family and said, "I will have you in my life from now on, and nothing must happen to you."
Mother Yan hugged Yan Zhi's shoulders and said, "Zhizhi, your father and I are fine! It's you, don't be so stubborn, go and say a few soft words."
"Mom, there's a saying that spilled water can't be reversed." Yan Zhi's nose sank. "Don't persuade me. We are a family and we can handle this together."
Professor Yan couldn't bear it and said, "You should stop talking. Let your daughter do whatever she wants. We shouldn't interfere in young people's affairs. Zhizhi, you can think it through. Dad will always support you!"
"Dad, Mom!" Yan Zhi hugged them both, and the family of three cried and laughed.
Cheng Ya heard that her in-laws were good, and hurried over from home. She put down the hanging paper and said, "This is really great, Yan Zhi, take good care of your father, the child has us!"
Yan Zhi was extremely ashamed. In the past, she was like someone blinded by a ghost and could not see any good in Cheng Ya.
It is said that a friend in need is a friend indeed. She is now extremely grateful to Cheng Ya for tolerating her willfulness and ignorance over the years.
Yan Zhi suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily. This frightened Cheng Ya, and she helped Yan Zhi up at a loss: "What are you doing?"
"I owe you an apology and a thank you for all these years." Yan Zhi said with red eyes.
"Silly child, why are you saying that?" Cheng Ya couldn't help but wipe away her tears.
"I am ignorant and have brought you a lot of trouble." Yan Zhi said apologetically, "I don't know how to express my apology. I hope you will be happy and healthy every day in the future."
Cheng Ya looked at the two elders of the Yan family and said, "Actually, there is not much conflict. If there is a misunderstanding, it will be said that it is open. The child is so old, do you still want the child to be without a father or a mother?"
Mother Yan said, "Some things can't be forced. It's because we, Zhizhi, are not that lucky. Just let it go. Mother-in-law, visit each other more often in the future. After all, we still have Zicheng and Zixuan in our two families."
Cheng Ya pushed Su Dong and said, "Dongzi, say something quickly."
Su Dong pursed his lips and said, "After the expert arrives in two days, I will pick you up and take time to check it out. This will make you feel more at ease."
Professor Yan nodded as a sign of agreement.
Yan Zhi went to handle the discharge procedures and ran into Chen Hong on the way. Yan Zhi envied Chen Hong very much because she was very independent and not as clingy as herself. She had a bad temper and was useless.
The Su family is suitable to marry a daughter-in-law like this, who can bring honor to the family.
Chen Hong recognized Yan Zhi at a glance and asked, "Is your father better?"
Yan Zhi smiled and said, "He's fine. I'm in the process of getting him discharged from the hospital."
Chen Hong nodded and said, "You have to be more careful as you get older. It's best to have a physical examination every six months. Don't be careless."
"You have such a good heart!" Yan Zhi felt sour. If Su Dong married Chen Hong, she should treat her children well!
"How can I say I have good intestines? I have been a doctor for a long time and my health has become tougher. Su Dong often praises you, saying that you are warm-hearted, kind and helpful." Chen Hong said with a smile.
"Really?" Yan Zhi touched her hair. She had never heard Su Dong praise herself before. Now that she heard it from someone else, she felt a strange feeling.
"Yeah." Chen Hong's eyes were filled with envy. When Su Dongbo talked about Yan Zhi, his eyes lit up. They've been married for so long, and their relationship is still so good. It's really enviable.
"We're getting divorced soon." Yan Zhi suddenly said, "He's a very good person, worthy of being entrusted with one's life."
After saying that, she didn't look at Chen Hong again and left as if escaping.
After being discharged from the hospital, the Yan family did not take the child back immediately. They did not know how Professor Yan's health was, and Yan's mother was afraid that the child would not be able to take care of him after returning.
That day, Professor Yan's old classmate Wang Guobang found him and invited him and Yan's mother to join the Cultural Bureau to work as historical researchers.
This is a good thing for Professor Yan. He never dreamed that he would return to the Cultural Bureau one day.
"Go, you must go." Professor Yan agreed immediately, and while his old bones were still able to move, he said something about how they should regain some face for his daughter.
Yan Zhi was happy for them when she heard the news. At the same time, she expressed her own thoughts: "Dad, Mom, I want to be a reporter. An article I published a while ago was accepted by a newspaper. They said that I have a keen insight into social dynamics. But now it is not a formal job, and I still need to be evaluated, and the salary is not high."
Professor Yan suddenly became more relaxed when he saw the confident smile on his daughter's face.
"Go, don't be afraid of low wages, your parents have wages now, enough to support you!"
"Thank you, Dad, thank you, Mom!" Yan Zhi never knew what kind of job she was suitable for, nor did she know how passionate she was about being a reporter. But it was better to find something to do than to sit there and think about random things.
At this time, Su Dong was on his way to carry out his mission.
Because of Li Jing's intelligence, some spies fled and hid frantically, and a large number of people were needed to investigate secretly to avoid causing panic.
After arriving at the destination, Su Dong came to the dormitory, took out a photo from his pocket, and looked at the photo of a man sleeping with his chest covered.
——
The rain was falling heavily, and Yan Zhi didn't know why she came under this tree again.
The kitten lived in a wooden box. A kind person built a nest for it with some leftover food. But the wind was too strong and the rain was too heavy, and the kitten couldn't stop shaking.
Yan Zhi walked to the roadside and bought some food and an umbrella.
She put the umbrella away and put the food in. The kitten started eating, and Yan Zhi couldn't help asking, "Since he has prepared a nest for you, why doesn't he take you home?"
"Meow~" The kitten raised its head, as if to express gratitude or to beg.
"I'm leaving. Take care." Yan Zhi stood up and disappeared into the rain.
The wind was so strong that the umbrella was blown far away, so Su Dong went over and picked it up. He fixed the umbrella in the soil and then used a few stones to block it, and the umbrella stopped moving.
The kitten lay on the side and watched them leave silently.
