Chapter 85 The Use of Brother Qin Xiao’s Radio
The next day, when Jiang Tang woke up, she had recovered her strength and her body was no longer sore. She slowly got up, stretched her waist heavily, and yawned with her hand covering her mouth. The man next to her had already gotten up.
Jiang Tang half-sat on the bed for a while before getting up, changing her clothes and pushing the door open. When she went downstairs, she saw the kid sitting on the sofa, watching TV obediently, with a pot of charcoal fire at his feet. He looked relaxed and comfortable.
"Chuyang, is your brother out?" Jiang Tang walked downstairs, resting his fingers on the back of the sofa.
The young man turned around, looked at Jiang Tang with a smile, and nodded obediently, "Okay, brother made a fire for me and went out. Sister-in-law, watch TV with Chuyang."
Jiang Tang stared at the old cartoon in the TV series and asked softly, "Have you had breakfast?"
As she spoke, she walked out. The boy shook his head, watched Jiang Tang leave, glanced at the TV with reluctance, quickly looked away from the TV, jumped off the sofa, and trotted after Jiang Tang left.
After Jiang Tang washed up, he took the little guy to have breakfast.
The kid jumped off the chair and was about to run to his favorite TV in the living room. Jiang Tang immediately stopped the kid from watching cartoons again.
"Chuyang, read and write first before watching cartoons."
Hearing his sister-in-law say this, Qin Chuyang did not resist, but nodded his head, "Sister-in-law, I understand."
Jiang Tang tapped the boy's head, "Chuyang likes studying, doesn't he? Now he doesn't like it anymore? He will be sad."
The boy frowned and quickly denied, "Chuyang likes to study."
It's just that cartoons are new now and he likes them more.
Jiang Tang pinched the kid's head, knowing what he was thinking, but still wanted to give the little guy some balance.
He whispered, "Chu Yang likes it. Let's learn it first, and then we can watch cartoons happily, right?"
She pointed to the TV in the living room and said, "If sister-in-law told Chuyang that he could watch cartoons before studying, Chuyang would definitely not be able to watch cartoons properly."
When Jiang Tang said this, the kid moved his little head and nodded, "Yes, sister-in-law is right."
If his sister-in-law lets him watch cartoons, he will definitely keep thinking about writing and even cartoons will not be interesting to him.
The kid grabbed Jiang Tang's sleeve and said, "Sister-in-law, Chuyang wants to write."
Jiang Tang raised his eyebrows and pinched the tip of the kid's nose.
"Okay, let's write first."
She led the kid back home, and when she passed the living room, she picked up the basin full of charcoal and went up to the balcony on the second floor.
Putting the charcoal fire on the balcony, Jiang Tang moved the kid's small study desk, and took the radio and notebook and placed them on the study desk.
Qin Chuyang took the initiative to sit down, turned on the radio skillfully, opened his notebook, and began to write silently.
The sun was already shining above the balcony, shining warmly on it. Although there was still a cool breeze, it was not as cold as in winter. There was a charcoal fire at Xiaotuanzi's feet, so it was not so cold at all.
The cool spring breeze makes people feel comfortable.
Jiang Tang moved a chair and picked up a book to read. After reading for a while, he noticed that the boy was writing seriously, so he turned around and left quietly.
After going downstairs, he opened the refrigerator, boiled some milk, added some white sugar, carried two cups upstairs, gently placed them on the kid's desk, drank a cup himself, then sat back in his seat, staring intently at the book in his hand, reading seriously for a while.
Until the little guy called her happily.
"Sister-in-law! Chuyang has finished writing."
The kid handed him the notebook carefully, turned off the radio with his little hands, and stared at Jiang Tang expectantly with his big eyes.
Jiang Tang took the kid's notebook. On the cover was the kid's own name written. It was crooked but still clearly readable.
Jiang Tang opened the notebook, turned to the page the kid had written today, and examined it carefully.
The boy had finished drinking the milk in his hand, and was looking at Jiang Tang eagerly with his chin in his hand.
When he saw his sister-in-law highlighting it with a red pen, his little eyebrows wrinkled. He had made a mistake again.
Alas, we have less time to watch cartoons. The little guy frowned and looked worried.
Jiang Tang carefully checked it and handed it to the kid with a smile. He noticed the kid's unhappy eyebrows almost instantly and touched his head to comfort him, "Chuyang has made progress today. The mistakes are much less than last time. I'm sure you will correct them in no time."
Qin Chuyang took it obediently, nodded his head, opened it, and checked it silently against the book.
He started to correct it obediently, and after finishing it, he handed it to Jiang Tang. After checking it, Jiang Tang smiled and gave the boy a thumbs up, "It's OK, Chuyang, go watch the cartoon."
"Great!" The little guy jumped up, his big eyes curved with smile.
Jiang Tang also smiled and stood up to tidy up the small desk.
The kid didn't leave, but followed Jiang Tang to clean the table.
Jiang Tang didn't call him. Noticing the boy like this, she couldn't help but feel relieved. Even if the boy liked watching TV, he was always well-behaved, obedient and sensible.
She handed the kid his books, took the radio and left, then came back to move the desk and chairs.
The kid tried to get his own things and leave the balcony.
It was not until Jiang Tang picked up the charcoal that the boy happily followed Jiang Tang downstairs.
I happily opened my favorite cartoon again, sat on the sofa, and watched it with great interest.
Jiang Tang put his fire at his feet and left.
After leaving, she went to the cupboard to get some snacks and cakes and placed them on the coffee table. "A reward for Chuyang. Chuyang can eat while watching."
"Thank you, sister-in-law." The kid took a piece of cake and stared at the TV without blinking.
Seeing the kid almost obsessed, Jiang Tang left with a smile on his face.
She went to the kitchen and started preparing lunch. At noon, she and the kid were the only ones at home. Jiang Tang took a look at the leftover rice from yesterday in the refrigerator and planned to just make some fried rice and eat it after that.
She took out the leftover rice, added a few eggs, and put them in the pot to melt the oil.
Then he used a spatula to break up the rice, beat a few eggs and mixed them, added a little water and mixed them, and after the oil melted, poured in the eggs. After the eggs were fried, poured in the broken rice.
I also disassembled the ham, cut it into dices, and then added the ham to the mixture and stir-fried it. Finally, I washed some vegetables and stir-fried them together. Only at the very end did I add the green onions to sauté until fragrant.
The fried rice is ready, and Yang called out to the kid who was still watching cartoons, "Chuyang, it's time to eat."
After a while, the kid ran to the kitchen. Jiang Tang served him a bowl and also served himself a bowl.
I also took Heidan's small bowl and made a portion for Heidan. We haven't bought dog food specifically for dogs yet, so Heidan can only eat the same thing as them.
Jiang Tang put Heidan's food in his small box and gave him a portion of water, watching Heidan eat it obediently.
She went to wash her hands and came back to prepare dinner.
The kid carried his meal and sat on a small stool to watch Heidan.
"Sister-in-law, it eats so little."
He looked at his meal. He ate more than Heidan.
Jiang Tang raised her hand and pinched the boy's face. "Heidan is the youngest in the family. You are the older brother. It is normal for you to eat more than him. When he grows up, he will be able to eat more."
The young man nodded and said, "I am the older brother, so I should eat more and not let Heidan eat more than me."
Jiang Tang smiled and nodded, "Yeah."
The boy stared at Heidan while eating. After he finished eating, Jiang Tang took the dishes and washed them.
As for Xiao Heidan's dishes, his brother insisted on washing them, so Jiang Tang let him do it.
After lunch, Jiang Tang also sat on the sofa, changed the charcoal fire, and watched TV with the kid.
Although the young man was reluctant to part with his cartoons, he still handed the remote control to Jiang Tang and looked at her eagerly, "Sister-in-law, what kind of TV do you like to watch? Chu Yang will watch it with you."
The kid had no intention of monopolizing the remote control. Jiang Tang touched his head, intending to watch it with him.
However, Jiang Tang still took the remote control despite the kid's behavior, and then switched the channel to a TV series, The Expendables, which premiered this year.
After Jiang Tang adjusted the station, she put it down and placed the remote control between her and the boy.
The kid saw that the people inside looked different from himself and his sister-in-law, so he tilted his head to watch.
He glanced at the remote control beside him with his big eyes, moved his little hands, but still did not pick up the remote control. He carefully accompanied his sister-in-law to watch what she liked.
Jiang Tang was watching the TV series. She didn't really like it, but the kid wanted to share it. She didn't want the kid to occupy the TV all the time, so she lost her desire to share and just casually turned on the TV and watched it for a while.
I picked up the remote control next to me and handed it back to the kid.
"Chuyang, sister-in-law wants to go and look at the flowers. Can you look at them by yourself?"
The young man took the remote control with his small hands at this time, and looked at Jiang Tang with his big eyes, "Sister-in-law, Chuyang will help you."
The kid said he wanted to help her, but he kept sitting on the sofa, and his eyes showed that he hoped she would refuse.
Jiang Tang really couldn't help laughing out loud, so he held the kid's arm and let him watch the cartoon by himself.
"Sister-in-law can do it alone."
As she spoke, she left the living room, took out a small flower shower that Qin Xiao had made out of a plastic box, and looked around at the potted plants in the yard.
Jiang Tang took a small shovel and weeded and watered the plants from time to time.
After looking at the flowers in the yard, she went upstairs with a shovel and a showerhead, looked at the flowers on the balcony, and carefully checked the potted plants that needed to be treated.
After everything was done, Jiang Tang put down his things, went downstairs, washed his hands and went into the kitchen.
Qin Xiao came back just as dinner was ready.
The kid was sitting on the sofa in the living room. When he heard the horn, he quickly jumped off the sofa and ran to the yard to open the door for his brother.
After opening the door, I went to wash my hands with Qin Xiao.
Jiang Tang put the dishes and chopsticks on the dining table.
"Come and eat after you wash your hands."
The two, one big and one small, responded, washed their hands obediently, then followed him into the kitchen and sat on the chairs.
Qin Xiao took the bowl and filled it with rice.
While eating, Qin Xiao stared at the little girl and said in a hoarse voice, "I have to go out tomorrow."
When he said going out, it definitely wasn't going to the factory area. Jiang Tang looked up at him and asked, "Going to Pengcheng?"
Qin Xiao nodded, "Well, let's go to Pengcheng first."
Go to Pengcheng first? That means we have to go somewhere else after going to Pengcheng, Jiang Tang exhaled.
Qin Xiao explained, "I just contacted you today."
He stared at the girl. "If everything goes well, I can bring a designer back this time. They want me to go over and discuss it. I can also discuss the order."
He hadn't been on a business trip for a long time, so maybe it wasn't a good idea to talk on the phone all the time. Jiang Tang nodded in understanding.
She looked at Qin Xiao, "If we can bring the designer back this time, I will be more relaxed in the future. Qin Xiao, you must work hard to convince him and try to bring him back."
For a small place like theirs, the only way to attract talents is to show sincerity and treatment, so that people will give up the temptation of big cities.
Qin Xiao nodded, "Yeah."
He knew this, so he had to make the trip himself this time, no matter what the outcome, just to show his sincerity.
After hearing what Qin Xiao said, Jiang Tang ate his meal sporadically, "When do we leave tomorrow morning?"
Qin Xiao said in a low voice, "We have to leave early in the morning."
The little girl's voice sounded a little hoarse, Qin Xiao noticed it, and his dark eyes deepened slightly.
Jiang Tang's eyes passed Qin Xiao and moved to the car at the gate of the yard. "Do you want to drive there yourself or take the train?"
"It's more convenient to drive. I have clothes in the car."
Jiang Tang exhaled and could only nod, "Okay."
She looked at Qin Xiao, "Eat first. I'll make something for you later. You can eat some on the way during the two days of driving. It will be too late to make more."
Qin Xiao didn't want to trouble the little girl, but seeing her depressed face, he just lowered his eyes and responded.
Qin Xiao was about to leave. After dinner, the little guy stopped watching TV and followed his brother closely.
He followed Qin Xiao while he was washing dishes, without saying a word, just following with a pout on his face, and Qin Xiao didn't chase him away.
Jiang Tang quickly took out the ingredients from the refrigerator and prepared some food for Qin Xiao to eat on the road.
It was already late at night. Qin Xiao took Qin Chuyang to take a shower, carried him upstairs, and finally coaxed Qin Chuyang to sleep. He went downstairs and looked at his thin figure in the bedroom.
The man took a few steps over, hugged the little girl from behind, and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't be busy anymore, go to sleep."
Jiang Tang stayed in his arms obediently and said softly, "It's okay, it will be fine soon."
Qin Xiao just kept sticking to the girl, his tall figure blocking Jiang Tang tightly. This time, Jiang Tang didn't mind the man getting in the way, and just let him stick to her.
When you're done, put it in the refrigerator.
I couldn't help but push Qin Xiao away and went to the bathroom.
Qin Xiao cleaned up everything in the bedroom, shoveled some coal in, put the small box of black eggs next to the stove, then turned on the light and went out.
After taking a shower, Jiang Tang went out and saw that the bathroom was pitch black and the door was closed. She turned around and went back into the house. In the living room, the man quickly turned off the TV, walked over, took Jiang Tang's hand, closed the door, and the couple went back to the bedroom together.
As soon as he entered the room, the man put his hands on the girl's waist and closed the bedroom door with his backhand.
Before Jiang Tang could even wipe her face, the man embraced her and kissed her.
His legs were lifted up into the air, and after losing weight, he coiled around Qin Xiao in panic. He was carried to the bed and pressed down on it.
Jiang Tang lay with her back against the bed, holding Qin Xiao's face with both hands. The man kissed her uncontrollably, and her lips felt numb.
She closed her eyes and tentatively kissed him back, her hands slowly climbing onto Qin Xiao's back, her voice only coming out intermittently.
"We're leaving tomorrow morning, so please be restrained."
The man just hummed in a low voice.
Her lips and tongue were completely attacked, trying to stop her from speaking, Jiang Tang sighed softly.
Until the man unbuttoned Jiang Tang's collar, his rough palms were completely untied, and his broad hands covered the full and tender flesh in his palms.
Jiang Tang suddenly opened his eyes, withdrew his hand and softly grasped the man's throbbing wrist, feeling the violent pulse beating inside.
Her heart was beating like thunder. She took a deep breath in panic and adjusted her breathing, "Um...Qin Xiao! No."
Jiang Tang's voice became intermittent.
Qin Xiao swallowed and said in an incredibly hoarse voice, "Tangtang... I'm leaving."
The man's words were really pitiful and contained a hint of foul. Jiang Tang softened his voice, "I have to get up early tomorrow and drive. I can't."
Qin Xiao's wrist was held in the little girl's hand. The soft force did not affect him at all, and the movement of his hand remained unchanged.
Jiang Tang hummed softly, her body completely entangled by the man, and she couldn't escape even if she twisted her body.
Knowing that the man in front of her was about to leave, and his movements still entangled her, Jiang Tang felt sore and painful in her heart, not knowing whether she should refuse or take the initiative.
Her nose was suddenly blocked and her voice was choked with sobs.
"Qin Xiao...please be careful."
The man suddenly stopped moving, quickly retracted his hand, and completely held the little girl in his arms. He said in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
His straight nose rubbed against the little girl's soft face, his voice was hot and his throat was rolling, "Tangtang, don't cry."
Jiang Tang sniffed, feeling the vibration in the man's chest, and shook his head, "I didn't cry."
"You drive there by yourself. Don't rush. Get to the next accommodation as early as possible and stop to rest."
The last time she slept in the car, it really cast a shadow on the little girl. Qin Xiao wiped the little girl's eyelids with his rough hands and said in a low voice, "I know."
"I will definitely listen to you, okay?"
Jiang Tang leaned sideways, completely buried in Qin Xiao's body, and hummed muffledly.
Qin Xiao didn't want to think about anything anymore. He rubbed his palms repeatedly. The little girl's hot tears were still in his hands. He sighed heavily.
Wrap the person in his arms, "Be good, go to sleep."
Jiang Tang listened to the man's heartbeat and paused for a while, and her tears stopped.
She blinked and said softly, "Qin Xiao, how many days will you be gone this time?"
Qin Xiao's voice was a little hoarse. "Go to Pengcheng. After the discussion, we have to go to the capital. It will take at least half a month."
Jiang Tang was silent for a moment. Qin Xiao held the little girl in his arms, thinking she was asleep.
After a while, I felt a smooth hand touching the man's body.
Qin Xiao was stunned for a moment, then he pinched the girl's slender wrist and said in a low voice, "Jiang Tang, don't bother me."
Jiang Tang blinked, raised her head and rested her chin on Qin Xiao's chest, her little hands moving around.
"Qin Xiao, I miss you."
Not only Qin Xiao would miss her, she would too.
Qin Xiao felt like his own heartbeat wasn't his own. The little girl was so honest.
He said hoarsely, "...I have to get up early tomorrow."
Thinking that the man would be away for at least half a month, Jiang Tang suddenly gained some courage. She supported herself on the bed, turned over, and sat astride Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao didn't use any strength at all, just let the little girl move. In the darkness, he stared at the little girl sitting on him.
Jiang Tang bent down, found the man's lips with her lips, and kissed him actively, while her little hands touched Qin Xiao's body.
He wanted to undress Qin Xiao, but he didn't know how to do it in the dark. He frowned and shouted softly and helplessly.
"Qin Xiao."
Qin Xiao took a deep breath, pinched the girl's delicate wrist, and then quickly took off his clothes.
Jiang Tang lay on him and kissed him. Qin Xiao could even feel the bitter taste of the little girl's lips.
He put his hands on the little girl's waist, pinched the little girl's waist with both hands, and tensed her body.
Jiang Tang's lower abdomen felt extremely sore and he groaned before collapsing on Qin Xiao.
She knelt on the bed, her hands on Qin Xiao's strong waist and abdomen, trying to get off the man.
Qin Xiao held her waist and didn't give her any chance.
Jiang Tang bent down and rubbed his head against Qin Xiao's neck, saying in a broken voice, "Qin Xiao, I'm tired."
Qin Xiao held the girl's waist with one hand, and with the other hand he moved up along the tailbone, gently holding the back of the girl's neck and rubbing it gently.
"Tangtang, wait for me to come back."
The man tried to destroy the girl's consciousness as he spoke, and Jiang Tang could only utter his words slowly.
"good."
In the end, Jiang Tang collapsed on the man's solid and broad chest. She was so exhausted that she was held by the waist and changed positions.
After the night before, the man seemed to have mastered the key points. Jiang Tang fell asleep in a daze and unconsciously.
She was extremely tired physically, but she knew she had to get up early the next day, so she didn't sleep well. Until the man next to her made a move, Jiang Tang's eyes suddenly opened.
"Qin Xiao." Her voice was very hoarse and dry.
Qin Xiao paused in his attempt to get up, then lay back on the bed, wrapping the little girl in his arms, "Be good, sleep a little longer."
Jiang Tang endured the discomfort and turned around, nestling in Qin Xiao's arms, saying in a low voice, "I don't want to sleep anymore."
She yawned in Qin Xiao's arms and was about to get up. Qin Xiao held the girl's waist and said, "I'll get up and leave. Don't get up."
The little girl was completely wrapped in the quilt. Jiang Tang twisted her body, but was unable to break free for a while. Qin Xiao slightly opened his lips and quickly got up.
Jiang Tang was wrapped in a quilt, staring at Qin Xiao with hazy eyes. Consciousness and sleepiness were fighting each other, and his eyelids were about to droop when they opened.
Qin Xiao put on his clothes and noticed that the little girl's eyes were half-closed, with a smile in her black eyes. He walked over, bent down, pinched the little girl's chin with his rough hands, and kissed her.
"Go to sleep."
Jiang Tang was about to fall asleep again in a daze, and her vague voice softened the man's heart, "Brother Qin Xiao."
"Come back soon."
The little girl was half conscious, but she knew that he would be happy if she called him brother.
This was indeed the case. Qin Xiao held the little girl's lips, kissed them again and again lingeringly, and then stood up.
Leave the bedroom door quietly.
I just went out and reached the stairs, and the little girl was being coaxed into not getting up.
The little guy stood at the door, staring at his brother with tears rolling in his big eyes, and he didn't know whether to cry or not.
Qin Xiao strode over and picked up the kid with one hand.
Qin Chuyang's chubby little hands hugged his brother's neck. Qin Xiao let out a breath and carried the little guy downstairs.
"Wuwuwu, brother, you have to come back soon."
Qin Xiao rubbed the kid's head and agreed. He didn't mind the trouble. He held the kid in one hand, opened the refrigerator, took out all the things the little girl bought for him, packed them up one by one, and put them in the trunk.
Qin Chuyang held his brother like this until Qin Xiao finished packing and put him on the ground. The little guy's hands were about to grab Qin Xiao's trouser legs.
Qin Xiao squatted down and looked at the kid at eye level.
"Qin Chuyang, I'm leaving. Men are not allowed to cry. You have to take care of your sister-in-law and Heidan."
The young man reached out and wiped away his tears, "Brother, I know."
His eyes were red as he stared at Qin Xiao, "Brother, you have to take care of yourself."
Qin Xiao was silent for a moment, but still held his brother in his arms, patted his back to coax him, and then he responded in a low voice and said to the kid, "I'm leaving."
After he finished speaking, he let go of the little guy, stood up and walked out, Qin Chuyang followed Qin Xiao closely.
The kid watched him get into the car. Qin Xiao opened the door and started the car. His black eyes glanced upwards with a sense of meaning and noticed the slightly open window.
He was the one who closed that window himself last night. The man's dark eyes deepened as he stared at the slightly open window for a moment before he turned his gaze away and drove out of the yard.
The car drove away. The boy ran to the door and watched his brother's car leave the intersection.
Then he trotted back and closed the yard door.
Jiang Tang squatted under the window, sniffed, endured the discomfort, and slowly returned to the bed.
When he woke up again, it was almost noon. Jiang Tang got up, changed his clothes and went downstairs.
There was no sign of the young man watching TV in the living room, so Jiang Tang left the living room.
I saw the wide-open door of the kitchen and saw a young guy squatting in front of the stove, lighting a fire obediently.
She was silent, went to the bathroom to wash up, and returned to the bedroom.
When the young man saw her, his slightly red eyes lit up, "Sister-in-law, you're up."
After he finished speaking, he smiled and asked Jiang Tang for credit, "Sister-in-law, Chuyang fed Heidan."
Jiang Tang sat over, next to the kid, rubbed his head with his hand, took the fire tongs in his hand, and then held the kid in his arms.
The kid must have cried this morning.
Qin Chuyang hugged Jiang Tang's neck with both hands, pouted his lips and nodded his head against her shoulder, his voice soft.
"Sister-in-law, my brother is gone."
Jiang Tang patted the kid's back and said, "Yeah, but brother will definitely come back early, right?"
The young man raised his voice, "Yes!"
Jiang Tang held the kid for a while with a smile on his face before letting him go.
I made lunch and ate it with my family.
After she finished washing the dishes, the little guy followed her and washed them.
"Chuyang, sister-in-law can wash herself, you go watch cartoons."
She wanted to take the bowl from the boy, but he refused and said, "Sister-in-law, let me help you."
Staring at Jiang Tang with big eyes, "Brother said that Chuyang has to take care of sister-in-law and Xiao Heidan."
The little guy should obviously take care of himself first. Jiang Tang was relieved, "It's okay. When there are bad guys, our Chuyang will take care of sister-in-law. Now our Chuyang is a child and sister-in-law is an adult. The adults should take care of the children."
Jiang Tang called the boy to watch TV. Jiang Tang smiled and said, "Chuyang, watch TV first. Wait a minute, sister-in-law, wash the dishes. Chuyang has dictation this afternoon."
She didn't make it in the morning, so she had to postpone it to the afternoon.
The young man's eyes lit up and he answered loudly, "Okay."
After saying that, he skipped to the living room.
Jiang Tang washed the dishes and cleaned up the room. It was afternoon and the sun was still shining outside. Jiang Tang glanced at the small box in front of the stove, took the box and went out into the living room.
As soon as the boy saw Jiang Tang coming in, he turned off the TV and followed Jiang Tang upstairs.
"Sister-in-law, why did you take out the black egg as well?"
Qin Chuyang looked at the box in Jiang Tang's hand.
Heidan is still young, so we always keep him in the kitchen for fear that he would get cold.
Jiang Tang explained softly, "It's sunny outside today, let Heidan come with us to the balcony to bask in the sun."
The young man looked up at the sky and nodded with a vague understanding.
Jiang Tang put Heidan on the balcony and went to get a small desk and a chair.
When I went back to get my books and tape recorder, I found that the tape recorder was missing.
She first placed the book on the small desk and searched all the rooms in the house, but couldn't find the radio.
Jiang Tang thought for a moment and could only think of the man who left today. He probably thought that he was taken away by Qin Xiao.
She let out a sigh. If Qin Xiao really took it away, she would definitely scold him when he came back. He took the things away without even telling her!
Jiang Tang returned to the balcony. The kid tilted his head and asked, "Sister-in-law, what are you looking for?"
Jiang Tang shook his head, walked over and sat down, "Chuyang, you don't need the radio today, sister-in-law will read it to you, you write it down, okay?"
The young man nodded.
Jiang Tang picked up the textbook and found the page that the boy was going to write today.
Start reading pinyin and Chinese characters, and let the kid write.
The boy held the pencil and wrote seriously.
The little black egg was basking in the spring sun in the box, feeling drowsy as it listened to its owner's voice.
The spring breeze brings coolness, blowing on the balcony. On the open-air balcony, the sun shines directly down, neutralizing the coolness, making it comfortable and gentle.
Jiang Tang read out both the pinyin and Chinese characters to the boy, and the boy followed her, writing down whatever she read until Jiang Tang stopped.
After a few seconds, the kid also stopped writing and handed the written notebook to Jiang Tang. Jiang Tang took it, checked it carefully, his eyes lit up, then he bent down and hugged the kid tightly.
"Chuyang, great! All correct."
The little guy's eyes were shining and he was very happy.
Jiang Tang put away the kid's books, and the uncle and his wife sat on the balcony, comfortably for a while before packing up their things and going downstairs, taking Heidan, who was comfortably basking in the sun on the balcony, downstairs.
The kid could finally watch his cartoon happily. Jiang Tang watched with him for a while before getting up to prepare dinner.
When I was cooking, I didn't pay attention to the amount at first and made too much.
When it was time to eat, Jiang Tang came to his senses and took the bowl and chopsticks that belonged to Qin Xiao after staring at the bowls and chopsticks prepared for three people on the table.
"Chuyang, it's time to eat."
Jiang Tang shouted into the living room.
After a while, the kid rushed over.
After the uncle and his wife had dinner, Jiang Tang realized that with Qin Xiao away, the family lacked the most important source of food, and there were a lot of leftovers. Jiang Tang silently put the food into the refrigerator, sighed softly, and decided to cook less tomorrow.
After dinner, the boy still followed Jiang Tang to wash the dishes. After washing the dishes, Jiang Tang let the boy go watch TV by himself.
She cleaned the kitchen, then went to the bathroom, turned on the water heater in the bathroom, watched TV with the little guy in the kitchen for a while, and after the water was heated, she turned off the TV and took the little guy to take a shower.
After taking a shower, I threw the dirty clothes into the washing machine and washed my own underwear by hand with warm water.
Qin Xiao usually did the washing. Jiang Tang sat on a small stool, washed all the underwear and hung them up.
He laboriously shoveled some coal and put it on the stove in the kitchen.
She took another large basin, poured the hot water into it, and adjusted it to warm water. She waited until all the clothes in the washing machine were washed clean before throwing them into the clean water. She rolled up her sleeves to wash all the clothes clean, put them in the drum to spin dry, and took the clothes hangers to hang up the clothes one by one.
After finishing, Jiang Tang was absorbed in looking at the washed clothes on the clothesline. He was the one who did these things when Qin Xiao was at home.
After staring for a while, Jiang Tang came back to his senses, put down his sleeves, exhaled softly, turned around to turn off the light in the bedroom, closed the door, checked that the door to the yard was closed, and then returned to the living room.
In the living room, the kid was watching TV. Jiang Tang went upstairs and turned on the electric blanket, then returned downstairs and watched TV with the kid for a while.
The young man looked eagerly, "Sister-in-law, I miss my brother."
Thinking about my brother, even cartoons don't seem so attractive anymore.
Jiang Tang couldn't help swallowing his saliva at the boy's words, and said honestly in a low voice, "Sister-in-law misses him too."
The little boy grabbed Jiang Tang's clothes with his hands and asked, "Has my brother arrived yet?"
Jiang Tang's lips curved, "When my brother arrives, he will definitely call us as soon as possible. If he hasn't called back, he must not have arrived yet."
Qin Chuyang nodded and said, yes, my brother will call them when he arrives.
Jiang Tang watched the TV with the kid for a while, then turned off the TV, took the kid upstairs, turned off the electric blanket, coaxed the little guy to sleep, and returned to the bedroom.
Sitting in front of the dressing table, Jiang Tang couldn't help laughing as if a man was frowning and being forced by her to apply face cream and hand cream. Then she put away her smile.
I put some facial cream on my face, spreading it bit by bit before I got up, turned off the electric blanket, turned on the light, and returned to bed.
Jiang Tang rolled around and wrapped the quilt around himself before closing his eyes.
It was two days later when Qin Xiao called back.
Jiang Tang was writing with the little boy on the balcony. When he heard the phone call downstairs, he immediately put down the book in his hand.
The little guy also raised his head with his eyes wide open.
She immediately stood up from the small chair and shouted to Jiang Tang, "Sister-in-law! It's my brother."
Jiang Tang looked at the little guy, took the boy's hand and ran downstairs.
He immediately picked up the receiver, his chest rising and falling, with only the slightest breathing sound coming through.
Until I heard the man's hoarse voice, "Jiang Tang, don't run."
The man had a smile on his lips as he listened to the girl's breathing.
Jiang Tang pursed her lips and said softly, "Are we there yet?"
Qin Xiao responded softly, "Yeah, just arrived."
I called them as soon as I arrived, "I'll wait for you to answer the phone, no need to run."
"Well, I won't run away next time."
Jiang Tang sat on the sofa, adjusting his breathing, and watched the kid climb up and put the receiver in front of the little guy. The little guy's voice was soft and sticky.
"elder brother."
Hearing his brother's voice, Qin Xiao responded.
The young man held the receiver and said, "Brother, my sister-in-law, Heidan and I all miss you."
Qin Xiao whispered, "I'll bring you a toy when I come back."
This is the only way a man can coax a kid.
The boy blinked his eyes and said, "Brother, I want eggs, buy some for me."
Qin Xiao frowned slightly, and Jiang Tang added helplessly, "He watches cartoons every day."
Men probably can't buy it.
"I'll buy it from you if I find it." Qin Xiao also knew that it might be out of stock.
The kid curled his eyes happily, "Brother, you have to finish your work quickly, we are all waiting for you to come back."
The young man held the receiver and finished speaking before handing it to Jiang Tang.
Jiang Tang took it and said softly, "Chu Yang said what I wanted to say. Come back soon."
The man responded, "Yeah."
Listening to the man's voice, Jiang Tang suddenly thought of something and said loudly, "Qin Xiao, I can't find the radio at home. Did you take it away?"
The man on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment before he responded in a hoarse voice.
He said in a deep voice, "There are still foreign language tapes that I haven't finished listening to."
Jiang Tang wrinkled his nose and snorted, "Qin Xiao, you are not honest at all. Why didn't you take away the foreign language tapes that you didn't finish listening to?"
The tape that the man hadn't listened to was kept safe at home.
It is rare for a man to be poor in words.
Jiang Tang said in a coquettish voice, "You just miss me."
She originally wanted to blame the man, but after hearing what Jiang Tang said, her anger subsided.
Half of the radios that Qin Xiao took away contained sounds she had recorded.
Qin Xiao was silent. On the way from home to Pengcheng, he listened to the voice recorded by the little girl on the radio.
Qin Xiao was silent for a moment, then raised his thin lips and said hoarsely, "Yeah, I missed you."
He confessed, Jiang Tang's face became hot, and he said softly, "Then you should come back soon."
She tilted her head to look at Qin Chuyang who was looking at her eagerly, and muttered, "We miss you too."
"Brother Qin Xiao, you must come back immediately after you finish your work."
Jiang Tang tilted her head and spoke into the receiver. Qin Xiao had called back, and she wanted to say something that this man would like to hear.
Qin Xiao's eyes were dark and deep, and he responded in a hoarse voice.
"Um."
With heat surging in his chest, Qin Xiao stared at the radio in his hand.
With his other hand, he pressed a few buttons, picked up the radio, and said in a low voice, "Tangtang, call me again."
Jiang Tang tilted her head to glance at the young fellow, wrinkled her nose, and thinking that the man was thousands of miles away, she softened her heart and still called out to him.
Then she heard a short chuckle from the man on the phone.
Jiang Tang blinked, "Qin Xiao, what are you laughing at?"
Qin Xiao stared at the thing in his hand and said in a low voice, "I'm very happy."
She couldn't be happier. Jiang Tang felt that Qin Xiao's voice was a little greasy, so greasy that it was sweet to her heart.
She had no idea what the man did behind her back over the phone. A smile played on her lips and joy appeared in her eyes.
