Chapter 67 How about I accompany you back to the capital?

Jiang Tang was nestling in the quilt, sleeping soundly. She seemed to hear little Tuanzi calling her in a daze.

She rubbed her eyes, struggled to sit up from the bed, and carefully identified that it was Xiaotuanzi's voice. She was extremely excited.

Jiang Tang yawned, stretched himself, climbed out of bed, put on his coat, walked to the window, listened to the kid's voice downstairs, and pushed open the window.

What she saw was a vast expanse of white. Jiang Tang's eyes were a little uncomfortable with the white, and she closed her eyes because of the piercing pain. After she calmed down, she opened her eyes again. She looked down and saw the kid standing in the yard, looking up at her and shouting excitedly.

"Sister-in-law, it's snowing."

Jiang Tang stretched out her hand, and the tiny snowflakes melted in her palm. No wonder she couldn't leave the bed today, it turned out to be snowing.

"Chuyang, after breakfast, sister-in-law will make a snowman with you, okay?"

This was the first snow of this winter, and also the first snow she had seen since coming here. Jiang Tang became interested and a smile appeared on her lips.

Qin Chuyang's eyes sparkled and his voice was loud, "Okay!"

Jiang Tang closed the window, and the cool air penetrated into her body. She quickly changed her clothes, wrapped a scarf around her neck, and went downstairs.

The little boy didn't seem to be afraid of the cold at all. He was standing in the yard with his little face flushed as he looked at the snowflakes falling from the sky. He even stretched out his little hands to catch the falling snowflakes. Jiang Tang blew into his hands and went into the bathroom with a smile.

After washing up and walking into the bedroom, Qin Xiao had already lit a very bright fire.

Watching the little girl come in, he whispered, "Eat."

Jiang Tang sat over and had breakfast first. Qin Chuyang came in, took Jiang Tang's hand, and stared at her eagerly, "Sister-in-law, make a snowman."

The young man was full of expectations, and Jiang Tang naturally would not let him feel disappointed.

I pinched the little boy's rosy little face, which was a little cracked.

Some processing needs to be done before you can continue to play with the kid without any burden.

Jiang Tang stood up and took the kid upstairs first. She didn't have any cream for children, so she took her own and applied it on the kid, then applied hand cream before taking the kid downstairs.

He led the young man out of the door and when he stood at the door of the kitchen, he glanced at the man sitting by the fire, coughed lightly, and called the man humanely, "Qin Xiao, do you want to go with us?"

After hearing this, Jiang Tang thought that it was very inappropriate for a man to play in the snow with them, and she couldn't help but curl up the corners of her lips.

She didn't think the man would agree, so she took the kid's hand and was about to go out, when she saw the man stand up without saying a word, walk two steps to them, and stare at them expressionlessly.

The man still had a cold look on his face. Jiang Tang was somewhat used to it. She blinked, a little surprised.

However, seeing the man standing in front of her, she felt good and reached out to grab the man's wrist, then pulled him out with a smile.

The snow in the yard was well preserved. Qin Xiao and Qin Chuyang only had to walk through an aisle to get to the workroom, and even the snow on the car was still intact. However, Jiang Tang pulled the two brothers to the door first, missing the white scene in the yard.

As soon as I opened the gate, I saw that the snow at the door was thicker than that inside the yard.

The little guy cheered happily and looked at Jiang Tang and Qin Xiao with bright eyes.

As soon as the door was opened, the cold wind blew directly in their faces, bringing with it a bone-chilling chill, but no one in the family felt cold.

Jiang Tang and Qin Chuyang had already entered the state. They squatted at the door and began to happily make a snowman. The big and the small were having a lot of fun.

Qin Xiao did not take any action. He stood aside and stared at the two people, one big and one small, squatting in front of him, and looked at the smiles on their faces.

The picture is warm and harmonious.

Jiang Tang quickly pinched out a small round ball and rolled it in the snow. The little guy took off his gloves and worked hard to make a snowman.

Someone from next door opened the door and came out with a broom. We saw the three of them, with the adults playing with the children like they weren't adults.

The child beside her was holding on to her legs to prevent her from sweeping the snow.

"Mom, I want to build a snowman too."

One of Qin Chuyang's friends pointed at the family of three squatting at the door of their house and looked at her pleadingly with a wrinkled face.

The woman frowned. "Why are you building a snowman? I won't take care of you if you catch a cold."

After rejecting the child's unreasonable request, he greeted Jiang Tang and the others, "Comrade Jiang Tang, what are you doing?"

Jiang Tang also heard what she just said and felt a little embarrassed. "It's a rare first snow today. We want to build a snowman at the door of our house."

"Are you sweeping the snow?" Jiang Tang looked at her broom handle.

"Well, you have to sweep it, otherwise the kids will play around. And if you don't sweep it, their shoes will get wet, and they will get frostbite."

Jiang Tang nodded, "You are very thoughtful."

At this time, the neighbor opposite opened the door, also holding a broom in his hand, with his children following behind him.

Looking at the family of three at the door of Jiang Tang's house, "Comrade Jiang Tang, what are you doing?"

Jiang Tang couldn't tell whether the redness on her face was caused by the cold wind or because she was embarrassed. She nodded in agreement.

The adults were all out sweeping the snow, so she was the only one who looked out of place.

"You two, young couple, have such a wonderful relationship." To be so leisurely and carefree in the middle of winter, it only shows that you are living a comfortable and leisurely life.

"Sister-in-law! Look at my little snowman. Is it pretty?"

Jiang Tang looked down at the little snowman in front of the boy. It was a tiny one. Uh, Jiang Tang was silent for a moment. It looked a little ugly and it was hard to comment on it.

But she still touched the boy's head and said, "Chuyang is really amazing. My sister-in-law hasn't finished it yet."

Qin Chuyang said proudly, "Sister-in-law, I want to make three little snowmen, one for you, one for me, and one for my brother!"

The kids next to him couldn't play. They looked at Qin Chuyang with envy and at their mother eagerly, but they got no permission at all.

They want to build a snowman, too!

Chuyang's brother and sister-in-law are so nice. Seeing Qin Chuyang's brother and sister-in-law having fun playing with him, his friends were full of envy.

But they could only wait for the adults to sweep the snow in front of the door and then take them into the house.

The boy built three snowmen by himself and showed them to Jiang Tang happily.

"Sister-in-law, the big one is my brother, the one next to him is you, and the small one is me."

He completed his work, and Jiang Tang also finished his little rabbit.

Qin Chuyang looked at Jiang Tang's little rabbit with his big eyes, "Sister-in-law, it's so cute."

Jiang Tang smiled with her eyes curved, and she also used lipstick to put blush on the little rabbit's eyes.

After finishing, Jiang Tang had evil intentions when looking at the man standing at the door. She raised her face and looked at Qin Xiao with watery eyes. She stretched out her slender fingertips towards the man and frowned slightly.

"Qin Xiao, my feet are numb."

The little girl spoke in a coquettish voice, with most of her face buried in her scarf. Her face was red and she looked at him innocently.

Qin Xiao walked over, bent down, stretched out his hand, touched the little girl's icy fingertips, and then held them expressionlessly.

Jiang Tang blinked, held the man's warm hand in return, rolled her eyes, picked up a snowball with her other hand, stood up and wanted to throw it at the man.

What she didn't expect was that her feet became numb from squatting for so long, and she fell uncontrollably onto Qin Xiao, with the snowball in her hand falling to the ground.

Qin Xiao caught the little girl with numb legs without changing his expression. He put his other hand around Jiang Tang's waist and lifted the little girl up.

The petite body was just hanging in the air on the man.

Jiang Tang's numb legs were suspended in the air to avoid feeling so uncomfortable. She just lay paralyzed on Qin Xiao, her legs so numb that she didn't want to move at all.

The neighbor who was sweeping snow nearby watched this scene, and the two neighbors looked at each other with some teasing in their eyes.

"Young people really have a good relationship. This happened right outside their own home, hugging each other."

"Chuyang's brother and sister-in-law have a really good relationship." Qin Chuyang's friend watched this scene.

Qin Xiao grabbed Jiang Tang's waist and lifted her up. He looked at the little girl lying on him like a limp, smiling in his dark eyes, "Do you want to play?"

Jiang Tang's legs were still numb, and he sighed in frustration. He turned to look at the boy and said softly, "Chu Yang, do you still want to play?"

Qin Chuyang watched his brother hug his sister-in-law, blinked, and buried his head in making a small snowball, throwing it at Qin Xiao, and looked at Jiang Tang with joy in his big eyes, "Sister-in-law, Chuyang will help you beat your brother."

After playing, he clapped his hands and smiled happily, "I don't want to play anymore."

As soon as he said that, Qin Xiao carried Jiang Tang into the yard. The little guy followed behind happily. He tiptoed to close the yard door by himself and then ran into the house.

The man held Jiang Tang in his arms and didn't let her go even when they were sitting by the fire.

There was some emotion on her face. When she saw the young man coming in, she whispered, "Chuyang, don't warm yourself up by the fire yet. Get a hot towel for Chuyang to wipe his hands first."

Otherwise, you may not be able to bear the sudden high temperature stimulation and may really get frostbite.

She looked up at the man and whispered, "Qin Xiao, put me down first."

Qin Xiao stared at the little girl and asked calmly, "Are your legs not numb?"

Jiang Tang opened her eyes. She still felt a little numb, but she couldn't just let a man hold her like that.

Facts have proved that Qin Xiao can really hold her like this all the time. The man poured hot water from the iron basin, then held Jiang Tang and took the towel, then sat back in his seat.

Then he wiped Jiang Tang's hands slowly, bit by bit.

Jiang Tangwo lay in his arms, having already accepted her fate, and obediently let him move.

After wiping, Qin Xiao glanced at his brother not far away, and said calmly, "Qin Chuyang, come here."

The young man hesitated to go over, and Qin Xiao wiped his hands carefully before letting him slowly warm himself by the fire.

Jiang Tang almost fell asleep again in Qin Xiao's arms. The uncomfortable feeling in her legs finally subsided. She struggled and said softly, "Qin Xiao, I'm fine."

Qin Xiao glanced at the little girl, then pinched Jiang Tang's calf with his big hand, and put her down only after making sure that she was fine.

Jiang Tang breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and left the kitchen.

She went to the second floor first, returned to the bedroom, took her hand cream, then returned to the bedroom, sat on a small stool, and asked Qin Chuyang to come over.

Apply hand cream to the little one carefully.

Qin Chuyang looked at Jiang Tang eagerly with his big eyes, and said softly, "Sister-in-law, I like you so much."

His sister-in-law’s hands are warm and he likes them very much.

Jiang Tang was stunned for a moment, then looked up at the young man in front of him, his heart softened, "Sister-in-law likes you too."

The little boy grinned happily, and Jiang Tang curled his lips unconsciously.

The man next to him stared at the two people, one big and one small, in front of him with a deep look in his eyes and unclear emotions.

After Jiang Tang finished applying the hand cream to the little guy, she put away the hand cream, and then a man's deep voice was heard.

"Jiang Tang."

Jiang Tang turned to look at the man next to him, a little confused, "What's wrong?"

The man didn't say anything, but just looked at the thing in Jiang Tang's hand intentionally or unintentionally, with unclear meaning.

Jiang Tang also lowered her head, then smiled and handed the hand cream directly to the man.

Qin Xiao took it, lowered his eyes slightly, and wiped it himself.

Jiang Tang blinked. She felt that Qin Xiao was not very happy.

After they were completely warm, Jiang Tang put gloves on the boy again and looked at Qin Xiao with a smile, "Qin Xiao, how about we go to the mall and buy something for Chu Yang?"

Qin Xiao glanced at Qin Chuyang and responded expressionlessly.

The family of three went out to the mall. Jiang Tang didn't let Qin Xiao drive. Along the way, he looked at the snow on the eaves of the houses and slowly walked to the mall.

Jiang Tang went to buy children's facial cream and hand cream for the little guy.

After buying, I walked out of the store and went to the clothing store.

Qin Chuyang looked at the things his sister-in-law bought for him and asked softly, "Sister-in-law only bought things for Chuyang, not for my brother?"

He didn't even see his brother.

When Jiang Tang heard this, he looked up at the calm man in front of him. He felt that he seemed to be a little emotional. He blinked, touched the boy's head, and explained to him, "You don't have to buy one for your brother. He uses the same one as your sister-in-law."

The young man nodded.

The depression in the man next to him seemed to dissipate all at once, and his thin lips twitched unconsciously.

Jiang Tang didn't pay attention and just took the little guy to the cloakroom.

I also bought the little guy a woolen hat. When he put it on his head, it was so cute. There was a little red ball on it, which made his face look rounder.

Jiang Tang couldn't help but reached out and pinched it.

After the shopping, I walked outside the mall and saw Jiang Cui and Chen Qian buying baby products together in the children's clothing store.

Jiang Tang's haggard face finally became a little rosy, and he looked in good spirits. He even seemed quite happy to be with Chen Qian.

Jiang Tang took a look and then looked away, and the family walked out of the mall.

However, Jiang Tang, who was in the mall, saw the family of three. Seeing how happy they were, Jiang Cui stared at Jiang Tang's flat belly and smiled.

He walked out of the clothing store quickly and stood in front of Jiang Tang.

"Jiang Tang, long time no see."

Chen Qian also followed behind Jiang Cui, and when he saw Jiang Tang and the others, his face looked quite friendly.

"Comrade Jiang Tang, Comrade Qin Xiao, you are here to buy things too."

Jiang Tang stared at Jiang Cui and frowned slightly, "What's the matter?"

Jiang Cui stared at Jiang Tang's belly, then gently stroked her own belly, blinked, and looked at Jiang Tang innocently, "Jiang Tang, it's been more than half a year since you and Qin Xiao got married."

Jiang Tang didn't know what she meant by that, so he said calmly, "What does this have to do with you?"

Jiang Cui touched her belly and stared at Jiang Tang. "You haven't had any movement in half a year. Do you want to consider going to the hospital for a checkup?"

Jiang Tang frowned. At first, he didn't quite understand what Jiang Cui said at first. But when he saw her touching her belly complacently and staring at her belly, he told her to go to the hospital.

Jiang Tang suddenly had an idea and frowned. This meant that there was a problem even though she wasn't pregnant yet.

"I don't have to get pregnant to marry a man. I'm definitely not as good as you in this respect."

Jiang Cui was choked by what she said, and took a deep breath, "Jiang Tang, you are being stubborn now, I have never seen anyone who has been married for more than half a year and still has no movement in the belly. I am trying to persuade you with good intentions, don't take my kindness for granted."

"I've never seen anyone pregnant before getting married. I can't learn from you."

"you!"

"Hey, Cuicui, don't be angry, don't be angry. Don't make our son angry."

Jiang Cui took a deep breath, touched her belly, and looked at Jiang Tang, "You're just being stubborn now."

She glanced at Qin Xiao who was standing beside her and said, "I want to see if Qin Xiao still wants you when you can't have a baby."

The man's cold eyes were like ice and snow wrapped in frost in winter, piercing straight into Jiang Cui's heart. She was terrified.

Qin Xiao turned his head and stared at Jiang Tang, whispering, "My wife, you don't have to give birth."

The sound was neither light nor heavy, but it was very powerful and struck everyone's heart heavily.

Jiang Cui stared at the man in front of her who was staring at Jiang Tang intently, and gritted her teeth.

"Oh, then I'll wait and see if you can have a baby."

Who wouldn't say empty and pretentious words? She just wanted to see if this man would still protect her unconditionally like he does now when Jiang Tang is unable to give birth.

"Don't worry about us, just take care of your belly and see if you can give birth to a boy."

Jiang Tang heard what Chen Qian had just said about his son.

When she said this, Jiang Cui looked a little proud, "Jiang Tang, you don't have to worry about this. I'm sure this is a boy."

Jiang Tang frowned when she said this. It was not allowed to check the gender of the child now.

Jiang Cui was so sure that she must have gone to an irregular small clinic for the checkup.

She had some idea why Jiang Cui seemed to be living a much better life now.

"Then I wish you good luck. A mother's honor depends on her son."

After Jiang Tang finished speaking, he led Qin Chuyang past Jiang Cui.

Staring at the intimate backs of the family of three walking away, Jiang Cui felt a dull pain in her stomach. Where did Jiang Tang get the confidence that she couldn't have children?

She was so angry that she couldn't help but touch her belly. Chen Qian beside her pulled her and said, "Why do you always have to trouble Comrade Jiang Tang? What if he gets angry with our child?"

Jiang Cui closed her eyes. Her life was much better now because of the son in her belly, and she would never let anything happen to the child.

He suppressed the resentment in his heart and went back to the clothing store with Chen Qian.

The family of three left the mall and went to the market to buy some things before returning home.

After returning home, Jiang Tang first put the things he bought in the refrigerator before sitting on a small stool and warming himself by the fire.

Qin Chuyang looked at Jiang Tang with big eyes and tilted his head.

Jiang Tang looked at the boy and said softly, "Chuyang, what's wrong?"

Qin Chuyang blinked his big black grape eyes and looked at Jiang Tang curiously, "Sister-in-law, will there be a brother or sister in your belly?"

The young man's ignorant words made Jiang Tang stunned, and he looked up at the man next to him.

He coughed lightly, "Not yet."

The young guy was not disappointed, he just looked at Jiang Tang.

Jiang Tang whispered, "Besides, if there are any, they are also nephews and nieces. In that case, our Chuyang would be the uncle."

The little guy's eyes widened, he was the uncle.

He looked at Jiang Tang and said, "If my sister-in-law is pregnant, Chuyang will definitely protect them, just like he protects my sister-in-law."

Jiang Tang chuckled and nodded.

After I warmed up, I stood up and took things out of the refrigerator.

Qin Xiao threw a few potatoes and sweet potatoes into the fire, and Jiang Tang prepared to knead the dough, intending to make dumplings at noon.

"Qin Xiao, chop the meat filling and make dumplings later."

Qin Xiao washed his hands, took the meat out of the refrigerator, washed it, and started chopping the meat.

After Jiang Tang kneaded the dough, he let it rise.

At this time, prepare all the filling seasonings prepared by the man and make the fillings for the dumplings.

Then I started to roll out the dough. After I was done, I moved a stool to the side, sat on it and started to make dumplings.

Beautiful and plump dumplings slowly took shape one by one. The little guy looked at them curiously and had already stuck to Jiang Tang, staring at him.

"Chuyang, do you want to give it a try?"

Qin Chuyang glanced at his sister-in-law and immediately agreed, "Yes!"

The voice was positive, and Jiang Tang raised his lips, "Go wash your hands."

The boy immediately went to wash his hands, then ran back and placed his clean hands in front of Jiang Tang.

Jiang Tang gave the kid a dumpling wrapper and then demonstrated to him step by step.

The kid was a little timid and greedy. He wanted to stuff all the fillings into the dumpling and ended up making a dumpling with a hole in it.

After realizing that something was wrong, I made a little more and then tried to wrap a flat dumpling properly. It wasn't until I wrapped four or five that it looked like the right dumpling.

Jiang Tang whispered, "It's okay, I'll give it all to your brother later."

Qin Chuyang looked at his brother with his little face and agreed without thinking.

Jiang Tang thought that they should eat dumplings today. It was the first snow in winter, so they should celebrate it by eating dumplings.

When she was almost done wrapping the dumplings, she said to Qin Xiao, "Qin Xiao, bring the pot and boil some water. The dumplings will be ready in a while."

She packed a lot and put any that she couldn’t finish at noon in the refrigerator so she could eat them in the evening.

Qin Xiao boiled the water and Jiang Tang put the dumplings into the pot. After just a few minutes of cooking, the full dumplings floated on the surface of the soup.

Qin Xiao took two large bowls and a small bowl and served the dumplings.

The little guy used a small bowl, sat on a small stool, breathed out, and ate happily.

Jiang Tang also tried one and found it tasted just right.

She made an oil dish and a vinegar dish so that people could share them and dip them in the food.

The man simply put everything together with a dish of oil and vinegar, and ate one dumpling at a time, very quickly.

Jiang Tang blinked, watched how quickly Qin Xiao finished the dumplings, and put another pot on.

After finally eating to his satisfaction, Jiang Tang stared at the snow outside the house, which had already lightened up a bit, yawned lightly, and stood up, "Qin Xiao, remember to wash the dishes."

She took Qin Chuyang upstairs and turned on the electric blanket for the little guy so he could take a nap and there was no need to turn it off.

Then he went back to his room, turned on the electric blanket, took off his coat, climbed onto the bed, snuggled into the warm quilt, covered his mouth and yawned heavily.

Qin Xiao was downstairs. After washing the dishes, he put the remaining dumplings on the chopping board into the refrigerator and cleaned up the kitchen.

Cover the fire and the potatoes that are burning inside.

He went up to the second floor, took Jiang Tang and Qin Chuyang's shoes to the team room, put them in the groove next to the stove, then turned around and left the team room, then went up to the second floor and entered the bedroom.

Seeing that most of the little girl's face was buried in the quilt, her little face was red and puffy in sleep, Qin Xiao walked to the bed, took off his coat, climbed onto the bed, and after he warmed up, he quietly held the girl in his arms and closed his eyes.

The snow outside showed no sign of stopping. Snowflakes floated in the cold wind, wrapped in the air-conditioning, and the big bed in the house was warm.

After a comfortable nap, Jiang Tang got up and sat on the bed, looking at his shoes that had disappeared from under the bed. His drowsy voice was still a little hoarse, "Qin Xiao."

Her voice was not high-pitched and soft, so the man downstairs didn't hear it at first. Jiang Tang yawned, walked to the window in her slippers, opened it, and called down, "Qin Xiao."

After a while, a man walked out of the bedroom.

Jiang Tang said softly, "Qin Xiao, did you see my shoes?"

The man responded.

Knowing that he had taken her down, Jiang Tang rubbed his eyes and went downstairs in his slippers.

Walking into the bathroom, the man saw the girl wearing slippers without even socks on. He frowned and asked, "Jiang Tang, why did you come down without socks?"

Jiang Tang lowered her head, looking at her exposed ankles, and looked at the man with some complaints, "I forgot, I was looking for shoes."

Qin Xiao was speechless. He went upstairs to get a pair of thick socks for Jiang Tang. He also turned off the electric blanket for Qin Chuyang and carried him downstairs.

Jiang Tang took the socks Qin Xiao handed over and put on her shoes obediently.

The kid was still half asleep, and only after Qin Xiao put his shoes on him did he wake up a little.

The uncle and his wife went to the bathroom to wash up like they were parading gods, and then returned to the kitchen.

Jiang Tang looked at Qin Xiao and whispered, "Qin Xiao, you have to go to the factory tomorrow."

These days, the brothers have been taking turns to manage the factory.

It's Qin Xiao's turn again tomorrow.

He responded in a low voice, "Yeah."

Qin Xiao dug out the potatoes buried in the ashes and peeled them carefully.

Jiang Tang yawned, "There must be a fire in the office."

She hasn't been to the factory for some time, but it's so cold outside now, and it even snowed today. How can Qin Xiao get through it without any warming measures?

"Don't worry, there's fire."

Jiang Tang handed the peeled potatoes to Jiang Tang.

Jiang Tang took it, blinked, and said softly, "You can take the electric blanket from home over. I will sleep with Chu Yang at home."

Qin Xiao stared at the little girl in front of him and shook his head to refuse, "No, there are beds in the factory."

Jiang Tang nodded, "Okay then."

She ate the sticky potatoes, her breath smelling delicious.

The next morning, it was still white outside. Qin Xiao's car had been treated with anti-slip treatment, and he drove away from home like a snail.

After she left, Jiang Tang looked at the empty ground in the yard, took a shovel and shoveled all the snow next to it out of the yard, then swept the yard clean, and went to the door to sweep the snow in front of the door.

Then he clapped his hands.

Qin Xiao was not coming back today. Jiang Tang finished his breakfast and then took the radio to enlighten the little boy.

She did not go to the study, as it was too cold even with a stove. She just took the radio to the kitchen, put the paper and pen she had bought for the kid on the chair, and the kid sat on the pony by himself.

The radio played the early childhood education lace-up cassette that Jiang Tang had found with great difficulty.

Teach the little guy to read and write little by little.

When Zhou's mother called, the kid had already started learning to write.

She put down the pen and paper in her hand, stood up and went to the living room to answer the phone.

"Hello, Mom."

Zhou's mother still had a smile on her face, and after hearing her daughter's words, her smile deepened, "Hey, Tangtang."

Jiang Tang could hear her happy voice. As expected, Zhou's mother said it with a smile.

"Tangtang, are you doing well in the county town?"

Jiang Tang responded, "Yeah."

He also glanced at the snow outside the house, his eyebrows curved, "It snowed yesterday, and I ate dumplings."

Zhou's mother said quickly, "It's snowing, Tangtang, remember to put on more clothes."

Jiang Tang responded, "Yes, I know, Mom, is there something good? You are so happy."

She asked, and Zhou's mother followed suit and said, "It's not a good thing. It's just that a young man came to your father's unit. I heard from him that he seemed to be your classmate before. Your father invited him to visit the house last night. He looked nice."

Jiang Tang blinked and didn't continue asking. He just responded perfunctorily.

"Yeah, it's good."

Hearing that the daughter had no intention of asking questions about her old classmates, Zhou's mother wanted to say something but couldn't respond and was speechless.

Just said, "Tangtang, the New Year is coming soon, do you have any plans?"

"I told Qin Xiao that we don't need to do anything special when the time comes. We can just have a happy New Year's Eve dinner as a family."

In fact, it's more than just that, but she knows that this is not the only thing Zhou's mother wants to know.

"Oh, so, Mom is preparing a big New Year's Eve dinner, and your dad has bought you new clothes. If Tangtang doesn't come back, Mom will ask her to send you the clothes for the New Year."

Jiang Tang agreed.

Zhou's mother talked to Jiang Tang several times, trying to change the topic to her old classmate, but Jiang Tang didn't respond. After talking to Zhou's mother for a few more words, Jiang Tang hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Tang breathed a sigh of relief, then left the living room and went to the kitchen.

She sat by the fire, staring at the empty yard.

Qin Xiao will not be back until tomorrow. Jiang Tang took a look at the sky, then looked at Qin Chuyang, "Chuyang, let's go find my brother, okay?"

Qin Chuyang said without hesitation, "Okay."

Jiang Tang touched his head and said go ahead.

She cooked the leftover dumplings from yesterday, prepared Qin Xiao’s oil and vinegar dishes, and then put them into the thermos.

Jiang Tang put a hat on the boy, wrapped a scarf around his neck, and put on his gloves carefully. Then they walked out of the yard, locked the door, and took the boy out.

After reaching the intersection, they hailed a tricycle, held Qin Chuyang in their arms, let the kid carry the lunch box, and drove out of the city in the cold wind.

Now, because their factory is built outside the city, the flow of people in and out of the city has increased a lot, and tricycles can now drive directly to the factory gate.

Jiang Tang braved the cold wind until he arrived at the destination, got out of the car, gave the master money, and then carried the thermos to the factory office. He met a few people along the way, all of whom knew Jiang Tang and greeted him warmly before leaving.

Jiang Tang walked all the way to the office, stared at the tightly closed door inside the office, and knocked on it regularly.

After a while, a man's cold voice came from inside, and his tone was even colder than his usual tone at home.

Jiang Tang blinked and quietly pushed the door open.

She saw the man in the office sitting at his desk, looking down at documents. There was indeed a stove at his feet, which did not deceive her.

Jiang Tang walked in and said softly, "Boss Qin, I want to resign."

The man with his head down heard a voice that was familiar to him, then he raised his head, calmed down, stood up from his chair, and stared at Jiang Tang, "Why are you here?"

Jiang Tang walked over with the thermos, placed it in front of the desk, and wrinkled his nose. "The boss doesn't respect people. He doesn't even look at employees when they enter the office. I want to resign."

Qin Xiao sighed softly, "Well, I'll excuse you."

"I'll work for you."

Jiang Tang snorted lightly and sat on the chair. Qin Chuyang sat next to her.

Qin Xiao took the stove back, and Jiang Tang raised his chin towards Qin Xiao, "The dumplings I brought you should still be hot, eat them quickly."

Qin Xiao lowered his eyes and stared at the thermos on the table, then turned to look at the little girl and responded in a low voice.

He opened the thermos and ate slowly, his voice a little hoarse, "You came here just to give me this?"

Jiang Tang nodded indifferently and took a look at the furnishings in the office before she stood up and pushed open the door of the small room. There was a simple small single bed inside, and there was indeed an electric blanket. She felt relieved, at least Qin Xiao wouldn't have a hard time tonight.

After reading it, Jiang Tang returned to the office. After watching the man finish eating, she held her chin and whispered.

"Qin Xiao, my mother called me today."

The girl coughed lightly and said, "I told you not to be angry."

The man paused and didn't agree. The girl's words meant that he would definitely be angry about this.

Qin Xiao whispered, "Well, I'm not angry with you."

This guy is still playing word games with her. Jiang Tang frowned and told him what Zhou's mother said.

The man's temperature dropped to freezing point in an instant.

"Old classmate."

He had sensed what Zhou's mother was planning without even hearing her say it herself. She just didn't like her son-in-law who started a factory out of nothing, so she did everything she could to undermine him.

Jiang Tang muttered, "I just thought it would be better to tell you about this. I don't want to hide it from you."

"However, I didn't ask her which old classmate she was talking about. She wanted to talk about it several times but I changed the subject."

The little girl's voice was soft. Qin Xiao stared at her. There was still a hint of smugness on her face. The pent-up anger in his heart dissipated like a deflated ball.

Qin Xiao's dark eyes dimmed slightly, and his voice was low, "Jiang Tang, this year during the New Year, I will accompany you back to the capital, how about that?"

Jiang Tang raised her eyes and met the man's gaze. Seeing the emotions in his eyes, she lowered her eyes slightly and spoke softly, "Why do you suddenly want to go back?"

Qin Xiao stared intently at the delicate, porcelain-white girl in front of him, his voice carrying a deep, magnetic tone, "Go back and cut off all their other plans."

Jiang Tang's heart skipped a beat and she hung in the air for a few seconds, staring into the man's deep eyes. She blinked. Qin Xiao... seemed really handsome.
