Liu Yeqiu was a little emotional at the moment, she couldn't control herself and was still crying.
Chen Peng covered the phone with one hand and said to Liu Yeqiu: "Okay, stop crying. Talk to the child first."
Liu Yeqiu took a deep breath and answered the phone.
"Shengyan, it's mom."
"Mom, when will you come back?"
"You kid, your mother has only been gone for a day, and you miss her so much?
You have to be good, mom has to work to earn money so that she can buy you gifts."
As soon as he heard the gift was two pieces, the child immediately became interested. His eyes widened and his tone was full of surprise.
"Mom, can I have a puppy? I want a white one."
Shengyan usually likes puppies the most, and he wants to keep one, but Liu Yeqiu has always disagreed because he was worried that the house would be dirty.
However, she is sick now and doesn't know how long she will live. She doesn't want to see her children sad anymore. She wants them to be happy.
Liu Yeqiu said: "Okay, when dad and I come back from a business trip, can I bring it with you?"
"Really?"
"Really, mom won't lie to you.
But you have to be obedient and don't cry, otherwise mom will be angry, and you know the consequences will be serious if mom is angry."
Shengyan said: "Mom will spank us when she is angry."
Liu Yeqiu was on the other end of the phone, smiling and crying.
"It's good to know. If you two behave badly tonight, you will cause trouble to Aunt Yang and Uncle Li. When Aunt Yang leaves later, remember to say sorry to them. Do you understand?"
"I know, mom."
Liu Yeqiu stopped Shengyan from crying with a few words. Children are sometimes easy to coax, but sometimes they are difficult to coax.
Chen Peng said a few more words to the two children, and then got on the phone with Li Jingming.
"Brother Li, Jinwa is going to trouble you and Sister Yang."
"Don't say that, this is what we should do.
You tell your wife, we'll wait until these two children fall asleep before leaving.
Tell her not to think too much and have a good rest tonight."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Brother Li. I will thank you when my wife is discharged from the hospital."
Li Jingming frowned: "Why are you so verbose? Go to bed early."
After hanging up the phone, Yang Lina took her two children upstairs to wash up, and waited for their stepmother to fall asleep before they went back.
On the way back, Li Jingming held Yang Lina's hand and said, "Daughter-in-law, what are you thinking about?"
"It's nothing, I just feel that the adults are sick and the children are the poor ones.
I really hope Ye Qiu’s illness will get better soon.”
"Yes, if something happens to an adult, the child will be hurt in the end.
With experts here, she will definitely get better.
Look, this life is really too short.
Today has passed and it is a new day.
In this world, what doesn’t change is time, and the only thing that changes is people.”
Yang Lina raised her head and looked at Li Jingming's chin. The man beside her taught her a lot. She was very good at making money, but in most cases, he still supported a family.
Throughout this journey, what I have never lacked most is his encouragement and support.
She is very grateful to this life that she learned how to love someone and felt the feeling of being loved.
Time really teaches people many things.
Yang Lina said: "You still have some experience."
"That's right. Wife, I hope that our family will be well. If one day I really have to choose, I would rather choose that our family be in good health."
Yang Lina smiled: "Me too."
Li Jingming held Yang Lina's hand tightly with his big hand, and the two walked towards home.
Under the dim light, with the shadows of the trees and the moon dancing, the scene of the two holding the old man's back and holding hands looked particularly comfortable.

On Liu Yeqiu's side, after hanging up the phone, her heart felt like a knife stabbing her.
Chen Peng was lying on the side, and she was lying in Chen Peng's arms, listening to his strong heartbeat, and she felt confused at first.
Chen Peng was worried that she was thinking about the child and said: "Don't think too much, you must be in a good mood.
Don't think too much about anything. Just think about your two children and me. We must live a good life, don't you think?
My children and I need you."
Liu Yeqiu took a deep breath, yes, she is the hope of two children.
No matter what, the best time is when things are not at their worst. She must relax and think about the good.
She is very strong and must get through it.
She was thinking that if Sister Yang encountered such a thing, she would definitely persist.
With this thought, she slowly relaxed, and after a long time, she fell into a sound sleep.
Chen Peng held Liu Yeqiu like this for the whole night. He didn't close his eyes all night. What he was thinking about was what he had experienced when he met Liu Yeqiu for the first time.
They went from having nothing to a big house where they now live, and they have two lovely children.
Half of the credit and hard work in this family belongs to the people in my arms.
Chen Peng couldn't imagine what life would be like without Liu Yeqiu. No matter what, as long as there was hope, he could not give up.
Fortunately for Chen Peng, he has been working hard in the past few years and at least he still has some money on hand.
Otherwise, if you have no future and make no money, you will really have no choice but to watch the people in front of you waiting to die.
Chen Peng kept his eyes open until dawn. He really hoped that this was all a dream, but he knew very well that this was not a dream.
Liu Yeqiu had no dreams all night until dawn. When she opened her eyes, she was awakened by the voice of the nurse talking in the corridor.
She opened her eyes and whispered: "Are you awake?"
Chen Peng's voice was dry and hoarse, and he said: "I'm awake. It's still early. You can sleep a little longer."
Liu Yeqiu said: "I'm not going to sleep anymore. Let's talk."
The two of them didn't turn on the lights, they hugged each other tightly and talked about the past.
"Do you still remember the scene when we first met?"
Liu Yeqiu recalled the scene of their first meeting. At that time, she was still selling cold skin with Sister Yang in the farmer's market.
"I remember, every time I came to the farmer's market at that time, I saw the way you were busy with your hands and feet, and I couldn't help but think, whoever marries this girl in the future must be the happiest man in the world."
Liu Yeqiu was instantly amused and asked: "Are you happy?"
"Happy, very happy.
Actually, when it comes to being tempted, I should be the first to be tempted."
Liu Yeqiu smiled and said: "At that time, you were always wearing a suit, and you looked out of place with me. I always looked up to you."
"In the end, wasn't I captured by you?
To be precise, I approach you for a purpose.
Girl, you are so perfect and good in my eyes, I am really afraid that someone will steal you from me.
But I was lucky enough to be with you the first time.
In the days to come, we will always be together, and I want to be with you and see each other’s gray hair.”
