At noon, Gu Ye came back alone.
"Ningning is not with you?" Jiang Yue looked behind Gu Ye.
"I'm back. I just passed by my sister-in-law's house and was asked by Zhao Yuanqi to go play for a while!" Gu Ye hugged Jiang Yue. Seeing that she was frowning, he stretched out his slender fingers and pressed them on her forehead. "Don't worry! Ningning is not as fragile as you think!"
Jiang Yue took Gu Ye's fingers away and rolled her eyes at him. "What are you talking about? Ningning is still so young, isn't it normal for me to worry?"
Gu Ye smiled, "Yes, it's normal!"
Seeing Gu Ye's relaxed expression, Jiang Yue couldn't help but ask curiously, "How did Ning Ning get along with the Shi family this morning?"
Gu Ye walked to the main room, took off his military cap and hung it on the rack on the porch, saying, "That's it!"
"Just like that?" Jiang Yue was dissatisfied with Gu Ye's perfunctory answer.
"It's hard to say!" Gu Ye took off his military uniform. He was only wearing a navy blue wool sweater inside. He had broad shoulders and a broad back. He walked towards the backyard while talking.
Gu Ye was like that for a while and it was hard to say for a while. Jiang Yue was getting anxious. She chased after Gu Ye and asked, "What did you say?"
But Gu Ye had long legs, and when he took one step, Jiang Yue had to jog two or three steps to catch up.
"Actually, Ningning and Uncle Shi didn't stay for long, probably less than an hour!" Gu Ye stopped and looked at the persimmon tree in the backyard.
The leaves of the persimmon tree have almost all fallen, and the branches are full of red persimmons.
"Why? Doesn't Ningning like Uncle Shi and the others?" Jiang Yue was puzzled. Actually, Ningning had a good personality. Before leaving, she had specifically asked Ningning to be a good guide to Grandpa Shi and Grandma Shi and take them around the neighborhood.
Although Ningning is young, she is very responsible and will generally do what she promises seriously.
So when Jiang Yue heard Gu Ye say that Ningning only stayed with the Shi family for a short while, she felt strange.
“Not really!” Gu Ye withdrew his gaze from the persimmon tree, with a helpless expression on his handsome face, “Uncle Shi and the others speak in dialect, Ningning can’t understand!”
Jiang Yue: “…”
Gu Ye continued, "Later, I found that Ningning really couldn't communicate with them, so I took Ningning back to the group."
Jiang Yue imagined many scenes of how Ningning and the Shi family would get along, but she never expected that they would not be able to understand the dialect and communicate.
"Have you told them?" Jiang Yue was more concerned about this.
"No!" Gu Ye reached out and picked two persimmons from the persimmon tree, playing with them in his hands. He raised his beautiful phoenix eyes and explained to Jiang Yue, "Ningning has been here all the time, and I didn't find a chance to mention it."
Jiang Yue lowered her eyes and pondered. She was no longer as emotional as she was last night when she heard Gu Ye say that the Shi family wanted to take Ningning away.
In fact, after Jiang Yue got up this morning, she thought about it and felt that her reaction last night seemed a bit too much.
She and Gu Ye adopted Ningning, and it would indeed be better for Ningning to stay with them than to go back to that mountain valley, but Mrs. Shi is Ningning's biological mother after all!
Regardless of whether the Shi family's purpose in wanting to take Ningning back at this time is impure, their original intention is still to make Shi's sister-in-law get better.
Ningning's biological mother is a miserable person. If Ningning goes back and can bring her comfort, it may not be a bad thing.
"Gu Ye, I've thought about it. I don't object to them taking Ningning back!" Jiang Yue breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, it was not easy for her to make this decision.
People are emotional animals. They will be reluctant to give up a dog or a cat after a long time, let alone a person, especially the cute and sensible Ningning.
Jiang Yue sincerely hopes that Ningning can live a good life, and she is reluctant to let Ningning suffer. But then she thinks about it and realizes that she has a preconceived idea, and Ningning will not necessarily have a hard life if she returns to her biological mother.
Hearing this, Gu Ye raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Don't look at me like that!" Jiang Yue could see that Gu Ye was very surprised. She pouted and said without further explanation, "But before sending Ningning back, we have to think of a good excuse so that Ningning can accept that she still has a mother!"
Gu Ye held Jiang Yue in his arms, "Okay!"
Uncle Shi and his three companions bought tickets for the 6pm train. There was no train station in Qingshan County, so they had to go to the city. Gu Ye arranged for Zhang Jianguo to drive Uncle Shi and his companions. Uncle Shi looked terrified and said, "No need, we can just walk there!"
"Uncle, it's far from here to the city. I'll drive you there, it'll be quick!" Zhang Jianguo said enthusiastically.
Before Uncle Shi and the others left, Jiang Yue arrived with Ningning.
"Ningning, call grandpa and grandma quickly!" Jiang Yue probably guessed that Uncle Shi and the other two came here to discuss this matter with Gu Ye. But she was too petty and thought that they would take Ningning away today.
After Ningning called grandpa and grandma, she shouted "Hello, uncle!"
The eldest brother of the Shi family smiled on his honest face and said, "Okay, you are so good!"
After seeing off the three people from the Shi family, Jiang Yue and Gu Ye stood side by side under the tree, and she sighed.
"Why are you sighing?" Gu Ye asked.
"I can't explain it!" Jiang Yue recalled the time when Gu Ye took her to visit Captain Shi in the Martyrs' Cemetery in Shanghai. Then she thought that the two white-haired old people were Captain Shi's parents. Thinking of how they saw their son die young, she felt depressed.
"Let's go back!" Gu Ye held Jiang Yue's hand, and the couple walked home holding Ningning's hand.
"Gu Ye, how do I tell Ningning?" Although Jiang Yue had made the decision, when it came time to really tell Ningning, she was a little hesitant and didn't know how to say it so that Ningning would accept it.
After thinking it over, Jiang Yue made up a story, called Ningning over and told it to her.
Of course, some of the plots were processed. Ningning listened very carefully. Jiang Yue took the opportunity to ask Ningning, "If Ningning was Jingjing in the story, and another mother needed you, would you be willing to accompany her?"
Ning Ning thought about it, shook her head and said, "I am willing, but I don't want to go!"
"Why?" Jiang Yue asked.
"I have a mother, and I want to be with my mother!" Ningning said seriously.
Jiang Yue's heart moved, and she looked up at Gu Ye, with helplessness and emotion in her eyes.
Well, this daughter was not raised in vain!
But no matter how touched she was, Jiang Yue still had to find a way to make Ningning accept that she still had a mother.
Gu Ye told Jiang Yue that Shi's eldest brother and Ningning's mother were planning to get married before the Chinese New Year, and they wanted to come again before the Chinese New Year to pick Ningning up.
Jiang Yue felt anxious when she thought that she would be separated from Ningning soon.
No, she had to find something to distract herself.
Speaking of finding things to do, tomorrow is Thursday. Jiang Yue and Gu Ye are going to Wuligang to stake out in the evening to see if they can find anything.
She suspected that the female worker who had slipped her a piece of cloth at the garment factory yesterday was the one she met on the road last Saturday.
That day, the female worker took the initiative to greet her and seemed to have something to say, but Director Zhou happened to be behind her, so the female worker quickly rode away on her bike.
