Shen Jichuan arranged for a driver to take Wen Qiao to the provincial capital, which was convenient for both directions.
There was still a lot of snow on the road, so driving was much slower.
After arriving home, the jeep was parked in front of the Shen family's house. Shen Jichuan first helped Wen Qiao out of the car, and then began to carry their things.
The driver also got out of the car to help carry the things.
She reached out and took Wen Qiao's clothes.
Shen Jichuan was carrying food, including a bag full of apples, oranges, and bananas.
Apples are still common in the north.
These oranges and bananas are relatively rare, so their prices are naturally high.
Actually, Wen Qiao didn't say she wanted to eat bananas; it was just that Shen Jichuan noticed Wen Qiao staring at the bananas for a couple of seconds.
I didn't even ask her if she wanted to eat it, I just ordered a whole bunch, and they were quite big.
The price is naturally not cheap.
I bought a bag of oranges because Wen Qiao has been craving sour foods lately.
She especially loves vinegar; she puts a little vinegar in everything she eats.
Shen Jichuan thought that Wen Qiao must also love eating oranges.
Hearing the noise outside the door, Su Mei hurriedly came out and took the things from Wen Qiao's hands.
"Comrade Xiao Qiao, slow down, let me help you carry your things."
“Mr. Shen, please put it down, I will carry it.”
Wen Qiao gave the things to Su Mei and walked towards the living room. Su Mei followed behind, trying to take the things from Shen Jichuan.
Shen Jichuan said indifferently, "No need, I can do it."
Su Mei nodded and followed behind.
After Wen Qiao entered the house, she first went to the dining table to pour a glass of water, and Shen Jichuan hurriedly went over to her.
He reached out and touched the water glass.
She then frowned and said, "The water is cold? Xiao Qiao, didn't I tell you that you should drink hot water when it's cold? Don't think it's too much trouble. Sister Su and I are both at home. You need to know how to ask people to help you."
Su Mei, who was packing her things, felt a pang in her heart when she heard Shen Jichuan's words.
To order someone around.
Yes, she's a nanny now, no longer the capitalist's daughter who used to boss others around; she's now the one being bossed around.
Su Mei just gave a bitter smile.
Just then, Wen Qiao looked up and glanced outside, inadvertently catching a glimpse of Su Mei's bitter smile.
"Sister Su, what's wrong? Are you in trouble? If you need anything, just tell us. If we can help, we definitely will."
Su Mei then said, "I'm fine."
"Seeing the warm and harmonious scene between you and your husband reminded me of my husband..."
Upon hearing Su Mei mention this, Wen Qiao said, "I've already spoken to my husband about your situation. We'll ask Political Commissar Wang later to see if we can find out anything."
Su Mei nodded and hummed in agreement.
Su Mei relayed the information she received from Political Commissar Wang to Wen Qiao.
Wen Qiao knew that Su Mei's husband was also a highly educated intellectual, but his current location was kept secret.
After chatting for a few minutes, Wen Qiao went back to her room to lie down.
A round trip from the military compound to the provincial capital takes four hours by car.
Let alone pregnant women, even an ordinary person would be exhausted after a four-hour car ride.
Wen Qiao went back to her room, and Shen Jichuan was about to follow her when suddenly the phone rang.
It was Shen Xiao calling.
"Uncle, it's me, Shen Xiao..."
Shen Jichuan picked up the phone, sat on the sofa, and asked, "What is it?"
Is Wen Qiao here?
Hearing Shen Xiao's words, Shen Jichuan frowned. "Shen Xiao, is it you who calls Wen Qiao by her name? You should call her Auntie."
"Speak your mind."
Shen Xiao said, "Uncle, you've misunderstood. I'm just wondering if there's something we should tell her, since she's pregnant."
