The hotel's lunch menu was limited, consisting of two meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, and rice.
Jiang Shu ordered a plate of braised eggplant with rice. She had eaten a lot of fried chicken last night, so she wasn't very hungry. She just wanted to eat a little to fill her stomach.
Shen Xi and Yang Kang sat down next to her with plates in their hands. The latter asked her, "Are you going back after you finish eating?"
Jiang Shuyin: "Okay, I need to go back to the central base to take care of some things first."
Xie Yin ladled himself a bowl of seaweed and egg drop soup and listened quietly to their conversation.
After finishing her meal, Jiang Shuyin hesitated. After all, she had promised the clan leader to take care of her younger brother, and it wouldn't be right to leave the fish there now.
Xie Yin guessed, "Are you worried about the fish? He's already on the bus."
Jiang Shuyin stared at him wide-eyed: "You know he's a fish?"
Xie Yin frowned: "Fish smell."
She used the canteen space to say goodbye to Yang Kang, Shen Xi, and the others. They only stopped after seeing her off to her car.
Alvin, in the passenger seat, was unusually silent.
Jiang Shuyin chose to sit in the back seat to keep the baby company, and took out the newly acquired baby cookies.
I opened it and there were only ten pieces inside. I'll have to eat them sparingly.
The cookie was long, so she cut one in half, gave each of the little ones half, and kept the rest for herself.
It has a subtle sweetness and melts in your mouth.
Himoko: "The cookies I ate last time."
Qingwu: "Mmm, it's not enough. Can I have more?"
Jiang Shuyin raised her index finger and shook it: "There's not much left. Let's eat when we get home, okay?"
Qingwu: "Is this Grandma's house?"
Jiang Shuyin was taken aback for a moment: "...Yes, how did you know I should call her Grandma?"
Qingwu puffed out his cheeks smugly: "I saw a child reciting the rhyme 'Mom's mom is called grandma'."
Jiang Shuyin patted him, her feelings somewhat complicated: "Baby is so smart."
She never mentioned to her mother that she had many grandchildren.
Thinking back, she had made Qingwu hide and made the children pretend to be wooden figures. If she put herself in their shoes, perhaps she had already hurt the children.
"When we get to Grandma's house, how about we ask her to make you a cake? Grandma can knit sweaters, so Black Plum and Ice can wear new clothes."
After autumn arrived, the temperature dropped particularly sharply, and before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the temperature had been hovering in the single digits for a long time.
During the day, the sun shines and it feels warm, but at night it gets so warm that you need to cover yourself with a quilt.
The car wasn't heated, and everyone inside seemed to prefer heat to cold. Jiang Shu put on a sweater, which felt just right.
The passenger in the front seat suddenly leaned against the window, his long hair swaying through the gap. Jiang Shuyin moved her leg away without making a sound.
Going to the central base means canceling the house reservation, and the mission points will be returned to your account.
As she passed by the small square, she noticed that the people's faces had become more resolute, with many new faces and fewer smiling faces.
The growing pains brought about by this dramatic change will take time to subside.
If she were to move away from Anshi, the central base would be her first choice.
Alvin slept the whole way.
Xie Yin was driving, and Jiang Shuyin would ask him from time to time, "Do you want to switch? Driving all the time is tiring."
Xie Yin: "I'm not tired. Can I drive faster?"
Jiang Shuyin: "...If you're not sleepy like this, then it's okay, right?"
As soon as I started speaking, I felt the acceleration, the push-back sensation, reaching an astonishing speed.
You don't feel it if there are no cars on the road, but once a car appears, the thrill of speeding and overtaking is absolutely terrifying.
After leaving the highway, the speed gradually slowed down, and half an hour later the car stopped outside the Garden Community.
Jiang Shuyin picked up her things and casually asked, "Do you want to go home or come to my house for a while?"
Xie Yin glanced at the unconscious fish beside him: "Where is he?"
Regret welled up again: "I'll keep an eye on things for now, and once I find a place to stay, I'll settle him in."
Xie Yin thought for a moment and said, "I have some vacant rooms in my building. I can help you contact them."
That's great.
They talked for a while, but Alvin still hadn't woken up.
Xie Yin called out and used his mental energy to stab him.
Alvin awoke with a start, his eyes wide with shock: "You want to kill me?"
Xie Yin: "I'm telling you to get off the bus."
Alvin glanced at the back seat; Jiang Shuyin had already opened the car door and gotten out with the children.
Alvin immediately followed behind her. His pale skin looked unnatural in the sunlight, and people entering and leaving the community stared at him. He was a 100% head-turner.
People with fair skin are particularly afraid of sunlight. Alvin raised his hand to shield his eyes from the light, and he could barely open them.
Jiang Shuyin walked very quickly, eager to see her mother's surprised expression.
I knocked on the door.
The person who opened the door was not her mother, but a middle-aged man wearing frameless glasses, a light blue long-sleeved jacket, and shoes that looked brand new.
Jiang Shuyin looked into the room: "Mom?"
Zheng Lanxiang was busy in the kitchen when she heard the noise. She grabbed a spatula and ran over: "Xiaoyin? Oh dear, why didn't you tell your mother you were coming back? What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you right away."
Jiang Shu led them in, followed by Alvin, and then Xie Yin, who had a smile on his face.
Zheng Lanxiang was dumbfounded. She would be happy to bring back one child, but she couldn't understand why two had been brought back.
There's a woman in the neighborhood who has two men living with her. One works outside to earn money to support the family, and the other stays at home to take care of her children.
The woman is a capable supervisor at the food factory, but because of this incident, countless people are gossiping about her behind her back.
"Xiao Xie is here too. Come on, sit on the sofa. Auntie just bought some cucumbers."
Zheng Lanxiang's gaze fell on Alvin, and she thought to herself: My daughter has such discerning taste, he looks just like a figure in a painting.
