"Mom, it's me. Is Dad's injury any better?"
Huang Ying said, "Much better. He's already started getting out of bed and walking around a little."
"That's good. Don't let him walk too much, or the wound might reopen."
"I know."
Zhang Qian hesitated for a moment before telling her mother, "Xiao Lei came to my place."
Huang Ying was stunned for a second. "How did he get there? Was he by himself, or...?"
"Yeah, just him."
Huang Ying asked tentatively, "Is he planning to stay there and look for a job?"
Zhang Qian replied, "That's his plan. He found one himself a few days ago, but he couldn't keep it for some reason. He's just resting at home now."
Huang Ying paused for a few seconds, then said slowly, "Qianqian, Xiao Lei is still just a kid. He might not be very mature in how he handles things. Your brother isn't around, so please keep an eye on him. If you can, try to help him out."
