Xiao Xiao tilted her head and thought for a while, "What do you mean by 'as long as there's time'?"
The man on the other end of the phone didn't expect his daughter to ask that question, and couldn't help but chuckle as he replied, "I just try my best to do it every day."
Hearing this answer, Xiaoxiao's eyes immediately lit up with joy. After thinking seriously for a while, she asked again, "Daddy, will you really call me every day at nine o'clock? Mommy said that there's a difference in the time of day between you and us..."
"It's the time difference."
Xu Wan corrected him from the side.
"Yeah, that's right. When I wake up, you might be asleep. What if you're asleep and forget to call me?"
For Xiaoxiao, who is a child who keeps her promises, going to bed early on time every day is indeed a bit difficult.
She needed to be sure her father wouldn't go back on his word before making a decision.
Xu Wan was amused by the child's little trick, but didn't say anything.
Since becoming an adult, Jiang Tingzhou's closest friend has been his younger brother, Jiang Tingsen.
However, Sen Sen was just his younger brother after all. When he was young, it was the busiest time of his career, so he didn't care much about Sen Sen.
This is the first time I've ever seen a three-year-old think so much.
He nodded and spoke frankly to Xiaoxiao, treating her like an adult. "Dad can't guarantee that he'll call you every day right now. It's not that I'll forget, but sometimes there might be unexpected situations that prevent me from making the call. Can the watch still send messages? I promise you, I'll try my best to call you every night. If there's an emergency that prevents me from calling at nine o'clock, I'll send you a message in advance. Unless there's a really difficult situation, I definitely won't break my promise."
Jiang Tingzhou also knew that, at present, making phone calls every day was not a problem.
However, it's hard to guarantee that no unforeseen circumstances will arise.
Xiao Xiao thought for a while and said, "Then... we'll agree on this for now. If you really can't call because of something, remember to explain to me later."
"good."
"Adults can't lie to children, or their noses will grow long!"
"Okay, Dad and you made a promise that Dad will try to call you every day from Monday to Thursday, and if he has time on the weekend, he will also send you a message, okay?"
Jiang Tingzhou spoke very sincerely.
Xiao Xiao nodded her head like a chick pecking at rice: "Okay, it's settled then! If Daddy lies, I'll... I'll..." The little girl thought for a while before saying, "When we meet, I won't give you the gift I prepared!"
The father and daughter chatted for about ten minutes.
Xu Wan reminded Xiao Xiao that it was time to go to sleep, and the little girl reluctantly hung up the phone.
Xu Wan tucked Xiao Xiao in and couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Xiao, what gift did you prepare for Daddy?"
Xiao Xiao gripped the blanket with both hands, covering half her face, leaving only her round eyes showing. She blinked several times before uttering two words: "Keep it a secret!"
Xu Wan did not press the matter further.
After the children went to sleep, Xu Wan called Jiang Tingzhou again, and the two agreed to go to the temple to pray for blessings early the next morning.
-
The next day.
Xu Wan got up early to take Xiao Xiao to school. She had already contacted Jiang Tingzhou before leaving home.
The man's car followed hers, and after she dropped Xiaoxiao off at kindergarten, she got into the man's van.
When Xu boarded the train that evening, she consciously moved to the back seat. Jiang Tingzhou could only move his wheelchair next to the woman and reach out to hold her hand.
In the mornings in the northern part of the city, traffic jams are common everywhere.
Fortunately, the van has excellent sound insulation, and almost all the outside noise is blocked out of the windows.
Xu Wan looked down at the man's legs, but couldn't help asking, "When did you have the surgery? Were there any risks involved?"
She thought for a moment, then added seriously, "What I mean is... is there any danger to my life?"
