Chapter 397 Are you satisfied now? Although Zhao Zhao was the one competing, she seemed to have no idea what nervousness was.
During this half month, apart from going to Zhuo's house for classes every day without fail, I ate and played as usual.
Even though the official competition was tomorrow, she still played snowball fights with the kids in the compound for half a day this afternoon.
Fortunately, Zhao Zhao had been treated with spiritual spring water in the past few days. After returning, his face was just flushed and there was nothing wrong with his body.
The mother and daughter took a hot bath together. Jiang Si said, "Okay, it's getting late. You still have a competition tomorrow."
Just as she leaned over to tell Zhaozhao to sleep well, Zhaozhao suddenly raised half of his head from the quilt.
"Mom, can Dad come back tomorrow?"
Hearing the anticipation in her tone, Jiang Si touched her little face and said, "To be honest, Mommy isn't sure either."
Since Huo Tingzhou was transferred back to the Beijing Military Region, the core of his work has shifted from tactical execution to strategic command.
Although I don't have any missions now, I'm still very busy.
Especially after receiving a secret order last week, he hasn't been home for a week.
However, Jiang Si could understand this. At the end of this month, an important figure would be visiting China.
At this point, relations between the two countries will begin to normalize.
Huo Tingzhou is responsible for the airspace security of the entire Beijing city, including the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan region. When necessary, he is also responsible for the cruise guidance of special aircraft. It is normal that he is busy now.
Seeing that her mother didn't say anything, Zhaozhao probably knew the answer.
She was very sensible and pulled her head back into the quilt. "It doesn't matter. Zhao Zhao will behave well even when Daddy is not around."
Jiang Si smiled and said deliberately, "Dad is busy, but there's still mom and brother, and great-grandparents who will all cheer for you. So many people, can't they be better than a dad?"
"No~ Mom, you know I love you the most!"
"Okay, go to bed, it's getting late." As she spoke, Jiang Si tucked the corner of the quilt for her.
"Yeah." Zhao Zhao nodded obediently.
Jiang Si was about to turn off the desk lamp when she heard light footsteps downstairs.
It's almost ten o'clock in the evening. The only person who can come back at this time is Huo Tingzhou.
Zhao Zhao also seemed to be conscious, and his eyes suddenly opened, "Mom, is Dad back?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the light at the bedroom door dimmed.
"dad!"
The moment he saw Huo Tingzhou, Zhao Zhao immediately crawled out of the bed and was about to pounce on him with open arms.
Huo Tingzhou quickly took two steps to catch his daughter, "Slow down, Daddy is cold, go back to bed quickly."
But Zhao Zhao didn't care at all and put her arms tightly around his neck.
"Dad, why are you back?"
"I missed you guys, so I came back to see you."
When saying this, Huo Tingzhou's eyes were always on Jiang Si'er.
After a pause, he asked again, "Have you been listening to your mother these days?"
Zhao Zhao nodded vigorously, "I'm obedient!"
Jiang Si laughed, "Be obedient, then lie back in bed."
Zhao Zhao said "oh" and quickly did as he was told.
After the father and daughter had a warm chat for a while, Jiang Si asked, "Are you done with your work?"
Huo Tingzhou shook his head. "Not yet. I just took two hours off. I'll be done soon."
After saying that, he looked at Zhao Zhao.
He had promised his daughter that he would be there to cheer her on, but plans cannot keep up with changes.
"Zhao Zhao, this time Dad broke his promise. Next time Zhao Zhao competes, Dad will definitely cheer you on, okay?"
Zhao Zhao, however, shook his head like a little adult. "Mom said you're doing something very important. I'm already very happy that you can come back to see me."
Afraid her father wouldn't believe her, she proudly added, "Dad, there are already a lot of people on the Zhaozhao cheerleading team!"
"Zhao Zhao is so good."
Huo Tingzhou took out a few chocolate candies from his pocket and placed them in her palm. "This is a reward from Dad. Take this with you tomorrow."
Zhao Zhao's eyes lit up visibly, "Thank you, Dad. I love you so much!"
After saying that, he turned to Jiang Si and said, "Mom, I love you too!"
Jiang Si couldn't help laughing after hearing this. It was amazing that she still knew to hold a bowl of water evenly at this time.
"Okay, it's really late. You have to go to bed, or you won't be able to get up tomorrow."
Zhao Zhao is good in every way except that he is a little grumpy when he wakes up, especially when he didn't sleep well. He won't smile at all all day.
Zhao Zhao nodded, "Yeah, I'll go to sleep right away."
Perhaps her wish came true, she was still saying good night to her parents the last second, but within two minutes, she fell asleep.
Listening to his daughter's light breathing in her sleep, Huo Tingzhou kissed her little face, then turned the bedside lamp to the dimmest setting.
Before going downstairs, Huo Tingzhou tiptoed to his son's room again.
She also kissed his little face, then put the chocolate candies in her other pocket on the bedside table, and then quietly left the room.
Knowing that he would be too busy to eat, Jiang Si said, "Please sit down first. I'll make you a bowl of noodles."
She doesn't know how to cook complicated dishes, but cooking noodles is no problem for her.
"I'm not hungry, don't bother." Huo Tingzhou held her hand. He would be gone in half an hour. "Just keep me company and talk."
"It's just noodles, it won't delay our conversation." Jiang Si held his hand and then pulled him into the kitchen.
The fire in the Air Force compound is all gas, and the fire is very strong.
After the water boiled, Jiang Si put in half a bucket of noodles and cracked three poached eggs.
While the noodles were cooking, Huo Tingzhou quickly mixed soy sauce, lard, and green onions to make a bowl of soup.
Even though he was busy, he still spoke, "The day after tomorrow morning, Xiaolin will drive you to the airport."
After a pause, he added, "I might be a few days late here. Once I finish the work on hand, I will return to Shanghai."
