Chapter 69: Go to the Capital and Prepare to Depart

After Jiang Tang got up early in the morning, he went downstairs quickly. Qin Xiao had already returned to the factory to arrange matters. He would probably stay at home to prepare and go to the capital in a few days.

After Jiang Tang and Qin Chuyang finished breakfast, they took the little guy to the market to buy things. This time was different from the previous time. It had snowed in the capital, so it was not suitable for Qin Xiao to drive there. He could only take the green train. Jiang Tang planned to buy some things, go home and make something to bring back and eat on the train.

She went to the market and bought a lot of things. When she was about to leave, someone stopped her.

Jiang Tang frowned, "Liu Lan."

Liu Lan stared at Jiang Tang, looked at the large and small bags in Jiang Tang's hands, then looked at Jiang Tang's slender hands and fair face, all of which showed that Jiang Tang was living a good life.

She frowned and said, "Jiang Tang, you really want to go back to the capital this time, isn't it because you don't want to help me?"

What Jiang Tang said yesterday seemed to her to be just an excuse, but she never expected to actually see Jiang Tang buying things at the market today.

Liu Guohui was not by her side, and Jiang Tang pulled up a smile.

"If I don't want to help you, I won't make such an excuse."

"Didn't you hear what Qin Xiao said? Even if there was no reason, we wouldn't keep you at home."

"I said we were going back to the capital. I told your brother about it. It has nothing to do with you."

"Jiang Tang, you are not afraid of me and Brother Qin Xiao living under the same roof."

Liu Lan naturally knows that it is impossible now, but since she had been hanging out with that gangster and had a miscarriage,

She just felt that it was all Jiang Tang's fault. If Jiang Tang hadn't provoked her, she would never have mixed up with a good-for-nothing hooligan. Jiang Tang didn't even have the most basic guilt towards her.

Jiang Tang laughed out loud, "If you think so, there's nothing I can do."

"You can't go back to the village now? So you're trying to pester me."

"Liu Lan, if you really can't make it, go find a job in a factory. No one has as much free time as you."

Liu Lan was temporarily arranged by Liu Guohui to stay in the city.

When Liu Guohui was buying daily necessities for her, he saw Liu Lan standing in front of Jiang Tang when he came out of the store. He immediately ran up to her and pulled Liu Lan hard with his hands.

Then he looked at Jiang Tang and said embarrassedly, "Sister-in-law, you brought Chuyang here to buy things."

Jiang Tang looked indifferent when he saw Liu Guohui. "Well, buy some things. They will be useful when you take the train later."

Liu Guohui pulled Liu Lan, "Okay, sister-in-law, I'll take Lan'er over first, you continue shopping."

Jiang Tang saw him holding Liu Lan's hand and leaving quickly, then he lowered his head and held Qin Chuyang's hand and went home.

Liu Guohui pulled Liu Lan aside and handed her all the things he had bought for her.

"Take it yourself. I won't care about you anymore. You can do whatever you want."

Liu Guohui was helpless. He took out some money from his pocket and stuffed it into Liu Lan's pocket. "You are so willful that you never care about the relationship between your brother and Qin Xiao. I don't need to care about you anymore. Do whatever you want. Just live your life. I won't care if you find any more gangsters."

Liu Guohui handed the money to Liu Lan and walked away. Liu Lan stared at her brother's back, her fingertips were pinched so hard that they hurt. She clearly got nothing, so why did she suddenly lose so much?

After buying things, Jiang Tang brought the kid back home. The first thing he did was to put all the things on the table, light the stove, and prepare something to cook for when they left.

Jiang Tang took out the oven that had not been used for a long time and prepared to bake some more cakes so that he would not be afraid that it would get cold on the way back.

Jiang Tang planned to make some milk tea. She bought a lot of fresh milk. When she was in the car, she still liked to eat something flavorful.

Take the oven out, clean it, and place it on the stove.

They started to work. At noon, Qin Xiao came back. Jiang Tang asked loudly, "Have you dealt with everything?"

Qin Xiao walked up to her, took over the work in her hands, and whispered, "Yeah."

"I have been helping you at home these days. The factory has already connected with Hetian and Leizi."

Jiang Tang handed the work to him with a smile. Qin Xiao was now an expert in helping him.

Jiang Tang had time to do other things. She looked at Qin Xiao's skilled appearance and whispered, "Qin Xiao, let me call the capital first."

Qin Xiao stopped, turned to look at the little girl, and responded softly.

Jiang Tang smiled and moved closer, raised her little face and looked closely at the man, saying in a coquettish voice, "It's not too late to regret now."

The little girl's porcelain-white face was pretty and full of liveliness. Qin Xiao's dark eyes deepened slightly. He suddenly lowered his head and quickly kissed the little girl's soft lips. The kiss separated immediately and he raised his head, a faint smile appearing in his dark eyes.

The voice was low and hoarse, "No regrets."

Jiang Tang still maintained the same upward posture, watching the man doing his own thing as if nothing had happened. She wrinkled her nose, snorted, and with a warm look on her face, Jiang Tang moved away from Qin Xiao.

He said loudly, "I'm glad you don't regret it. I'll call them first."

After saying that, he hunched over and left the bedroom. Qin Xiao looked at the little girl and ran away with a puffy face like a hamster, and the corners of his lips slightly raised.

Looking away, Qin Xiao saw the suspicious look on Qin Chuyang's wrinkled little face, and he looked away indifferently.

Qin Chuyang walked up to Qin Xiao with his hands on his chest and snorted heavily.

Qin Xiao heard it and sneered. The boy was becoming more and more like a little girl.

Jiang Tang went to the living room and sat on the sofa. Without a stove to keep warm, the heat from his body dissipated immediately, and even the heat from his face dissipated completely.

She touched her lips lightly, and the heat on her face reappeared. She quickly let out a breath, then picked up the phone and called the capital.

After a while, someone picked up the phone, and it was Zhou's mother's voice coming from the receiver.

"Hello, Tangtang."

Jiang Tang held the phone in both hands and whispered, "Mom."

"Hey, Tangtang, the New Year is coming soon, have you prepared everything at home?"

Mother Zhou whispered,

"You won't be able to get good stuff before the New Year. Tangtang, remember to prepare more from now on. You have a refrigerator at home, so just remember to put everything in the refrigerator when the time comes."

Jiang Tang listened to what Zhou's mother said and responded softly, "Have you bought everything?"

Hearing her daughter ask this, Zhou's mother instantly became interested, "Yes, the refrigerator at home is almost full."

"I'll have to buy some more in a few days."

At this point, Zhou's mother remembered something and said slowly, "Tomorrow morning, I will ask your father to go to the post office and send you all the New Year clothes I bought for you. Tangtang will have a good New Year over there."

Speaking of this, Zhou's mother sighed. This was the first time in so many years that they had to spend the New Year apart from their daughter. They really couldn't bear to let her go. However, no matter how reluctant they were, they were the ones who sent the daughter away, and they had no right to force anything.

Now that things are like this, she should learn to be content. The most important thing is for the lady to be happy.

Zhou's mother's voice was a little depressed. "I will send you the clothes tomorrow, and also the New Year's money for our daughter during the New Year. I will send it all to you."

"Mom, you don't have to send it to me tomorrow." Jiang Tang's voice was soft and obedient on the phone.

Zhou's mother misunderstood, and her voice was a little anxious. "My dear, I just want to send you something, and I don't expect anything else. Is that ok?"

How could she accept that they were not allowed to send anything during the Chinese New Year?

Jiang Tang knew she had misunderstood, and explained softly, "No, Mom, I mean you don't have to send it to me tomorrow."

Jiang Tang exhaled softly, raised his lips, and explained softly, "We plan to return to the capital for the New Year this year."

As soon as Jiang Tang finished speaking, there was no movement on the other end of the phone, and everything was quiet inside and outside.

Jiang Tang stared at the receiver, unsure whether the other party had hung up or not. He just blinked and spoke tentatively.

"Mom?"

The person on the phone seemed to finally react, his voice choked with uncertainty, "My dear, tell me again, did I hear you wrong? You mean, you have to come back to spend the New Year with me so that our family can be reunited?"

Jiang Tang sighed, his voice firm, "Well, I will bring Qin Xiao and Chu Yang back during the Chinese New Year."

Jiang Tang blinked, looked outside, lowered her eyebrows, and spoke softly, "Mom, this New Year, I want to bring Qin Xiao over to show you guys."

"Many things are hard to explain. You only have a limited understanding of him. This is a good opportunity for you to meet and see Qin Xiao."

Jiang Tang's words made Zhou's mother sigh. The young lady suddenly wanted to come back to celebrate the New Year, and brought Qin Xiao with her. It was probably because of what she said before that the young lady was concerned.

Zhou's mother had mixed feelings, but having her daughter back was more important than anything else.

She immediately smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I got it, my dear. When you guys come back, it's almost Chinese New Year, so I'll clean up your rooms now."

"Your previous room is still there. Mom has prepared a room for your brother."

Hearing what Zhou's mother said, Jiang Tang gradually relaxed and responded in a low voice, "Qin Xiao handed over the factory's affairs today. We need to clean up the house, seal up everything that can be sealed, and make some food for the journey. I'll call you before I leave."

"Okay, okay." Zhou's mother was very happy. "Mom and Dad will wait for you to come back."

"Girl, tell me what you want and I'll buy it for you. Just come back and don't bring anything from home. It will look ugly on the train."

Jiang Tang lowered his eyebrows and replied softly, "Mom, we don't bring much stuff, don't worry."

"Okay, okay, Tangtang, let Qin Xiao take good care of you."

Jiang Tang agreed to everything. Zhou's mother was very happy. She would ask Jiang Tang what he needed from time to time. She wanted to buy everything. After talking for a long time, Jiang Tang hung up the phone.

After Jiang Tang hung up the phone, he returned to the kitchen, sat on a small stool, and first warmed his body while looking at the tall figure in front of him.

Jiang Tang said in a sweet voice, "Qin Xiao, I told my mother, and she said she would prepare a room for us."

Qin Xiao turned to look at the little girl and whispered, "Yeah."

Jiang Tang's body warmed up for a while before he leaned over and said, "You don't have to worry when we go back this time."

She tilted her head and looked at Qin Xiao, whispering, "We just need to go back and see him. If you feel uncomfortable, you can just stay in a guesthouse."

Jiang Tang patted Qin Xiao on the back with understanding, "Don't be nervous."

Feeling the little girl's comfort, Qin Xiao raised the corners of his lips slightly.

Jiang Tang also started to roll up his sleeves and work, "Make something today and put it in the refrigerator, and then cover everything in the house that can be covered."

"I'll buy some more cloth later and cover the sofas, as well as some tables, chairs and benches. Stack them all together and cover them all."

"It will be easier to deal with when we get back."

As she spoke, she put the kneaded dough into the oven.

Qin Xiao listened to the little girl's words and agreed in a low voice. The little girl had considered everything, and it seemed that he only needed to do as she said.

It was not until the evening that the couple reluctantly stopped working, and Jiang Tang had to cook first.

Hearing the knock on the door, Jiang Tang tilted his head to look at Qin Xiao and raised his chin towards him.

Qin Xiao put down what he was holding and opened the door.

The person at the door was Liu Guohui. Qin Xiao frowned, then let go of his hand and let him in.

Liu Guohui walked in carrying an old hen and a piece of meat with a kind smile on his face.

Qin Xiao closed the door behind him.

Liu Guohui walked in with something and handed it to Qin Xiao behind him with an apologetic look on his face.

"Brother Xiao, please accept it. It's my fault. I sincerely apologize."

Qin Xiao frowned slightly, but still accepted the thing.

Liu Guohui looked at Jiang Tang and greeted her with a smile, "Sister-in-law."

Jiang Tang glanced at him, then glanced at Qin Xiao beside him, and nodded calmly.

Liu Guohui rubbed his hands and said, "It's like this, sister-in-law, I came here today to apologize."

Jiang Tang didn't answer him, but just brought him a stool and whispered, "Sit down and talk."

She signaled to Qin Xiao, who strode to sit next to Liu Guohui and let him negotiate.

Jiang Tang clapped his hands and continued cutting vegetables.

Liu Guohui looked at Qin Xiao with an apologetic look on his face, "Brother Xiao, I am really sorry for what I have done to you and my sister-in-law these days."

Time and again, he never learns his lesson. Yesterday he was the one who ignored the matter and came to ask Brother Xiao and Sister-in-law for help.

Today Liu Lan was still unhappy with her sister-in-law. He didn't want to care about this sister anymore. He would wait until she suffered losses outside. If she could come to her senses, he would let her come back. If she couldn't, then just leave it alone.

But if I do something wrong, I still have to apologize to Brother Xiao and Sister-in-law.

Liu Guohui bought some gifts and came over.

Qin Xiao looked at him, his brows slightly relaxed, and nodded slightly, thinking it was not a big deal.

“This is the last time.”

Liu Guohui sighed softly, "Brother Xiao, we have been brothers for so many years. I have done a few stupid things. I can't do it again in the future."

Jiang Tang put the pot on the stove, watched the two people talking, glanced at the things Liu Guohui brought over, and whispered, "My family hasn't finished their meal yet, so stay for dinner later."

Liu Guohui waved his hands repeatedly, "Sister-in-law, there's no need to eat. I have to go back soon. It's too late."

"I came here today to make amends."

"Just because you don't care about the mistakes I made doesn't mean I don't need to apologize."

He must not do stupid things in the future. He already owes Xiao Ge and the others enough. They have helped the family so much over the years. If he can't see clearly, he will really be an ungrateful person.

"Brother Xiao, sister-in-law, I will not care about anything Liu Lan does in the future. She is already an adult. The things she did after I came back have gradually destroyed the image of a well-behaved and lovely sister in my mind. I don't know why she suddenly became like this, but it doesn't matter. Now I can see clearly that she has grown up. If I still treat her as the little carrot I used to be and take care of everything, it will harm her."

Liu Guohui looked at Jiang Tang, and like a grown man he stood up and solemnly bowed 90 degrees in front of Jiang Tang to apologize.

"Sister-in-law, if she causes trouble to you again in the future, don't be polite. Don't be afraid of hurting our brotherly relationship. You can teach her a lesson in any way you want."

Jiang Tang glanced at the man next to her, frowned at Qin Xiao, and tugged at the corner of the man's clothes.

Looking at the little girl's appearance, Qin Xiao twitched the corners of his lips, then stepped forward and grabbed Liu Guohui, pulling him up directly, and said in a deep voice, "Enough."

Liu Guohui stood up straight and looked at Qin Xiao and Jiang Tang. There was no blame in their eyes. He closed his eyes and said, "Sister-in-law, Brother Xiao, it's getting late. I will go back today. I will come with He Tian and the others when I have the chance. We can get together as brothers."

Qin Xiao held his shoulders and nodded calmly.

Jiang Tang smiled, "Okay, when you come, I'll treat you well."

Liu Guohui smiled, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

He finally did what he wanted to do. Yesterday he really made things difficult for Brother Xiao and Sister-in-law. When he saw Liu Lan stopping Jiang Tang today, his brain exploded and he wanted to have a seizure on the spot.

I won’t care about it anymore.

Qin Xiao and Jiang Tang saw Liu Guohui off before returning to the clubhouse.

Jiang Tang looked at the chicken and pork belly that Liu Guohui brought over and sighed, "Qin Xiao, put the pork belly in the refrigerator first."

"As for this chicken, before we leave, invite them to your house for a gathering and then kill the chicken."

The ones sent by Liu Guohui were just right for those brothers to slaughter and eat.

"Remember to ask Lei Zi and He Tian to call Juan Er and the others when the time comes."

Everyone had a lively meal and they were leaving.

Qin Xiao put the chicken in the yard and responded in a low voice.

In the days before they were preparing to leave, Jiang Tang and Qin Xiao packed up and hid all the things in the house that could be kept.

Only the bed in the bedroom was left unmade.

Jiang Tang cleaned up the little guy's room.

Before leaving, she let the young man sleep with her and Qin Xiao.

Everything inside and outside the house had been almost dealt with, and Zhou's mother called almost every day to ask when they would be back.

Ever since Jiang Tang told her that he would be back, Zhou's mother has been happy every day and wanted to call them more than ten times a day.

Still, he was stopped by Jiang Tang. The morning before leaving, Jiang Tang called Zhou's mother and said he was going back. For the first time, Zhou's mother's voice was a little noisy on the phone. Jiang Tang moved away and hung up the phone after repeatedly assuring Zhou's mother to be careful.

Just after finishing breakfast, Jiang Tang looked at Qin Xiao and said loudly, "Qin Xiao, you should drive to the village later and pick up Juan'er and the others. Don't drink tonight. If it's late, send them back."

There is no one staying at home tonight, so Qin Xiao can't drink.

Qin Xiao agreed, got into the car and drove out of the yard.

Jiang Tang planned to slaughter the chicken today, but he didn't touch it yet.

In the kitchen, she planned to prepare the pork belly first, and the young man sat on a small stool to light a fire for her.

In the afternoon, Qin Xiao picked up Wen Juan and Lu Fang.

As soon as Wen Juan got out of the car, she saw Jiang Tang in the kitchen, and she immediately trotted to the kitchen. With a look of tears on her face, she gave Jiang Tang a big hug, and held Jiang Tang tightly for a while before letting go.

She looked at Jiang Tang, "Sister-in-law, you really have to leave."

Jiang Tang looked at her with soft eyes and whispered, "Well, I'll be back after the New Year."

Wen Juan's face was full of reluctance.

Aunt Gui Mei and Lu Fang also walked into the kitchen and looked at Jiang Tang.

"Leaving tomorrow?"

Jiang Tang smiled and nodded, then looked at Lu Fang, "Well, so we called everyone here today so we can get together."

"The chicken was bought by your husband, Sister Lu Fang, and it just happened to be put to use."

Lu Fang also knew about that chicken. Liu Guohui told her about it when he returned. To be honest, she was relieved to hear that her man had made up his mind.

Given her little girl's appearance, most people would have already distanced themselves from her.

If Qin Xiao and Jiang Tang hadn't been so broad-minded and able to distinguish clearly, there would have been no escape for the ungrateful people in their family.

Lu Fang also unconsciously stepped forward and hugged Jiang Tang, gently patting Jiang Tang's shoulder, "Tangtang, thank you for your understanding."

Jiang Tang also patted her on the shoulder, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, let's just have a happy gathering today."

Lu Fang nodded and let go of Jiang Tang.

Several people rolled up their sleeves and began to help Jiang Tang.

After Lu Fang and her friends arrived for a while, Lei Zi and the three brothers He Tian also came.

After entering the yard, it immediately became lively and noisy. Several people were busy and helped in everything.

The sky outside was getting darker. A table was placed in the kitchen, and a group of people sat around it. The originally empty and spacious kitchen became much more cramped.

No one seemed to care and just served the dishes to the table in a noisy manner.

A group of people gathered around a table. Qin Xiao raised the wine glass in his hand. As soon as he raised it, Jiang Tang grabbed his hand and pressed his glass on the table.

He looked at Qin Xiao with a warning look, leaned over, and whispered in Qin Xiao's ear, "Qin Xiao, don't drink. We have to send them back soon."

Qin Xiao's hand holding the cup paused, then let go of the glass. Jiang Tang stuffed a bowl of soup into his hand.

He was silent for a moment, tilted his head to glance at the innocent-looking little girl, then calmly picked up the bowl of soup and clinked glasses of wine with those on the table.

Drink a big bowl of soup.

Jiang Tang was satisfied, and the group of people had a lively and noisy meal.

Jiang Tang picked up a chicken leg for the kid and let him chew on it.

Wen Juan looked at Jiang Tang and said, "Sister-in-law, when will you come back after the New Year when you go to the capital?"

Jiang Tang was silent. According to what they said, he would definitely come back after the New Year, but he didn't know if he would be stopped by Zhou's father and mother.

Jiang Tang whispered, "The New Year holiday should be over at the latest."

The New Year holiday is over and Zhou's father has to go back to work, so they have to come back at the latest. Moreover, the factory will recruit new employees after the New Year, so they have legitimate reasons to come back.

Seeing the boy chewing the delicious chicken leg, Lu Fang smiled and said, "Chuyang, are you happy to go to the capital with your brother and sister-in-law?"

The boy stuck his head out of the chicken leg and mumbled, "Happy."

Lu Fang coaxed him gently, "Then let your brother and sister-in-law take you out to play, and come back and tell them whether the capital is fun or not."

Qin Chuyang's eyes lit up and he nodded vigorously, "Okay!"

Lu Fang was happy. This little guy was really interesting.

On the other side, Liu Guohui and Wang Qilei held wine glasses and kept toasting Qin Xiao. Qin Xiao took the soup served by the little girl and drank bowl after bowl.

Jiang Tang looked at Coke.

Zhang Guimei looked at Jiang Tang and then at Qin Xiao beside her, her eyes full of relief. She looked at Jiang Tang and said softly.

"Tang girl, this family really owes a lot to you."

If it weren't for Jiang Tang's sudden appearance, this family of only two brothers would have broken up sooner or later.

She watched them walk all the way here, and was most grateful to Jiang Tang, especially Qin Chuyang who had become a lot fatter, and now Qin Xiao.

Jiang Tang shook her head. She always felt that even without her, it would be the same, Qin Xiao would still do something.

Jiang Tang was the only one in the room who felt this way, while everyone else was grateful to her.

After dinner, the group sat by the fire and talked until late at night.

A few people stood up and said goodbye.

Jiang Tang said loudly, "Qin Xiao didn't drink just now, let him take you back."

Several people waved their hands and said, "Sister-in-law, no need. You guys are leaving tomorrow. It's no problem for us to stay in a hotel for one night."

"Stop wasting your time."

I originally thought that sister-in-law didn't let Xiao Ge drink because they were leaving tomorrow, but I didn't expect that she would also consider sending them home.

Jiang Tang blinked, looked at Qin Xiao, and whispered, "Qin Xiao, then you go to the hotel with them. If there are no rooms available, send them back."

Qin Xiao nodded. After Jiang Tang said this, several people did not refuse. They followed Qin Xiao, said hello to Jiang Tang and went out.

The noisy and bustling yard suddenly became quiet.

Jiang Tang let out a breath and took Qin Chuyang back to the studio.

Sitting in front of the fire, looking at the kid beside him, he whispered, "Chuyang, are you sleepy?"

The young man yawned loudly and shook his head, his voice soft and sticky, "Sister-in-law, I'm not sleepy in the early morning."

His head was clearly still a little bit small, Jiang Tang was amused by him, touched the boy's head, then stood up and went to the bathroom to turn on the water heater.

I will be spending the next few days on the train, so I have to take a shower before I can go to bed today.

After heating the water, Jiang Tang took the kid to take a bath, then took a bath himself before leaving the bathroom.

Watching the little guy yawning from a distance, Jiang Tang went to the second floor first, turned on the electric blanket, and then went downstairs. Returning to the bedroom, he saw the little guy sitting in front of the stove with his big eyes closed and his head nodding.

Jiang Tang walked over, bent down and picked up the kid with some difficulty, went all the way to the second floor, took off the kid's slippers, and carried him into the quilt.

Jiang Tang went downstairs yawning and waited in the kitchen for a while before he heard a knock on the door. Jiang Tang immediately trotted to open the door and saw the tall dark figure of a man facing him.

Qin Xiao walked in, stared at the little girl's pajamas, frowned, took a step forward and held Jiang Tang in his arms, then quickly turned around and locked the door.

The windy courtyard door was closed in an instant. Qin Xiao looked at the little girl and whispered, "Go to bed first."

Jiang Tang yawned and leaned in his arms, her voice a little vague, "Where are they?"

Qin Xiao touched the little girl's forehead with his hand, took Jiang Tang to the kitchen, and whispered, "It's arranged. Let's all stay in the hotel."

Tears welled up in Jiang Tang's eyes. She nodded softly, rubbed against the man's arms, and said softly, "Go take a shower first."

The man pushed her to sit in front of the stove. Qin Xiao took off his coat and put it on Jiang Tang before walking to the bathroom.

Jiang Tang reached out and tugged at his thick coat, his lips slightly raised.

After her body was warm, she stood up, added coal to the stove, then removed the firewood in front of the stove and covered the charcoal with ashes.

When Qin Xiao came out, Jiang Tang just closed the door of the bedroom. In the darkness, she couldn't see the expression on the man's face clearly. She whispered, "Qin Xiao, go upstairs."

Qin Xiao paused, walked up to Jiang Tang, pulled Jiang Tang's coat with his big hands, wrapped the little girl tightly, picked her up effortlessly, and walked into the house. His clothes wrapped the little girl tightly.

Jiang Tang kept his face buried in his clothes until he went up to the second floor.

Qin Xiao opened the door and walked to the bed while holding Jiang Tang. When he was about to put the little girl on the bed, he saw the little girl looking at them ignorantly with her big eyes.

Jiang Tang blinked, and his body, which had been a little cold, suddenly felt hot from the soles of his feet to his cheeks, rapidly turning red.

She struggled to get off Qin Xiao, bent over to look at Qin Chuyang, and whispered, "Chuyang...you haven't slept yet?"

The young man rubbed his eyes, looked at his sister-in-law, and said softly, "Sister-in-law, Chuyang is waiting for you."

Jiang Tang's heart softened and he patted the boy's head. "Okay, my brother is back. We can go to sleep now."

The little guy rubbed his face in the quilt and closed his eyes obediently.

Jiang Tang stood up, turned around and looked at Qin Xiao with a reproachful look, as if it was all your fault.

Qin Xiao coughed lightly, looked at the little girl and whispered, "Go to sleep."

Jiang Tang wrinkled her nose and snorted softly, took off Qin Xiao's coat, and slept in the middle.

The voice was light, "Remember to turn off the socket."

Qin Xiao silently turned off the electric blanket, unplugged it, then turned off the light and got into bed.

Seeing the little girl turn sideways to face Qin Chuyang, the man's dark eyes dimmed slightly, and his large body slowly moved over and stuck to Jiang Tang.

Jiang Tang's face was wrinkled, and his voice was full of dissatisfaction, "Qin Xiao, do you want to squeeze out all of us Chu Yang and occupy a Simmons seat for yourself?"

In the darkness, the man's rustling sound stopped, and Jiang Tang raised his lips.

The next moment, before she could react, her body was completely pulled over by someone, away from the young guy, and her whole body fell directly on the man. Jiang Tang let out a low cry at the man's hard chest.

She unconsciously raised her hand and punched Qin Xiao's shoulder. In the dark, in order not to wake the boy, she could only lower her voice, and her breath fell on the man's face, "Qin Xiao, you hurt me, let go."

Qin Xiao's hands were firmly locked on Jiang Tang's waist. Hearing the little girl's cry of pain, Qin Xiao loosened his grip slightly.

He still held the person against his body and did not let go.

Jiang Tang was furious. She refused to let go of this man. She climbed onto Qin Xiao, holding him with both hands, resting her head on the side of his neck, closing her eyes, and decided to sleep like this.

It would be best if Qin Xiao could be crushed to death.

Qin Xiao realized the girl's intention, his throat rolled, a smile rolled out from his chest, and he lazily leaned against the girl who was about to sleep on him, and then closed his eyes.

Jiang Tang's original intention was to teach the man a lesson, but who knew it was really too late and she was too sleepy, she fell asleep soon after closing her eyes.

I slept straight away until the next morning.

When Jiang Tang woke up, Qin Xiao had already gotten up, but the little guy beside him was still asleep. Jiang Tang blinked and pinched the little guy's nose with a smile. After a while, the little guy, who was not very disturbed, struggled to open his eyes, and his wrinkled eyebrows immediately relaxed when he saw Jiang Tang.

"Sister-in-law."

The voice was soft, and Jiang Tang immediately felt guilty. He let go of the boy and whispered, "Chuyang, it's time to get up."

The little guy nodded obediently and climbed out of bed to put on his clothes.

Jiang Tang also got out of bed, changed his clothes, and asked the boy to go downstairs first.

She made the bed, packed her things, and took a look at the bedroom. Then Jiang Tang turned around, went out, closed the door, and went downstairs.

Jiang Tang went downstairs and was about to go to the bathroom, but he caught sight of someone in the bedroom from the corner of his eye, was stunned, and rubbed his eyes.

Wen Juan smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, it's not a mistake. We are here to send you and Brother Xiao off."

It was Wenjuan and the others, they were all here. Jiang Tang blinked. She was considered one of the early ones, but she didn't expect to be the last one to arrive.

She lowered her head slightly, went to the bathroom to wash up, and then came out slowly.

Qin Xiao made breakfast, but didn't cook for others.

Jiang Tang asked softly, "Have you had breakfast?"

Wang Qilei smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry about us now. We won't let ourselves starve to death. Just take care of yourselves. We have to hurry on our way soon."

After hearing what he said, Jiang Tang really stopped caring about them.

After finishing breakfast, Qin Xiao put on his big backpack, Jiang Tang slung a bag and led Qin Chuyang, and a group of people saw them off.

Jiang Tang locked the door of his house, walked to the intersection, looked at the people behind him, and said loudly, "Okay, you can go back."

Several people looked at the family of three, took a deep breath, and said with warmth in their eyes, "No need, sister-in-law, we will take you to the car."

Jiang Tang wrinkled his nose and walked over to hug Wen Juan and the others.

Qin Xiao had already caught a tricycle, so Jiang Tang had no choice but to let go.

Wen Juan looked at Jiang Tang, "Brother Xiao, please take care of my sister-in-law."

Qin Xiao nodded slightly. Jiang Tang led Qin Chuyang onto the tricycle before Qin Xiao got on. The family waved to the people standing on the roadside.

A few people watched the tricycle leave before leaving the city.

Jiang Tang and her friends walked all the way to the station and then took a bus to the provincial capital.

Jiang Tang sat by the window, looking at the ground far away from them, then turned to look at the man next to her and said softly.

"Qin Xiao, bring me some milk tea. I'll have a sip."

In the car, I still want to drink something flavorful.

Qin Xiao took out the milk tea from his backpack and Jiang Tang took a sip.

The bus drove all the way to the provincial capital. Jiang Tang's eyelids drooped slowly. He tried to close his eyes, but could not fight the sleepiness. He closed his eyes completely, his head shaking and unable to focus.

Qin Xiao tilted his head to look at the little girl's fair face and closed eyelids. He raised his hand and touched the little girl's cheek. His rough big palm stroked the little girl's fair face, and then let her lean on his shoulder.

Jiang Tang obediently moved over, leaning on Qin Xiao's broad shoulders, rubbing her head against him, and found a comfortable position. She relaxed her slightly wrinkled brows and fell asleep on Qin Xiao's body.

The kid on the other side had already fallen asleep in Qin Xiao's arms. Qin Xiao sat in the middle, with the big and the small leaning against him.

The man's lips curled up, his dark eyes staring at the scenery passing by quickly outside the window. In the cold and icy bus, the man's chest was filled with warmth.
