Heimei sighed, mimicking her grandmother's tone: "Little sister, Mom is an adult. Adults have many things to do every day. We can only eat if Mom works."
Shui Ning also sighed.
Having successfully delivered the person to the residential area, Jiang Shuyin's emotions were still not calm.
After finishing the maintenance work, the main power switch was turned on one by one, starting with the streetlights along the way, which were gradually illuminated like blooming flowers.
On the way back, looking at the lights of thousands of homes, it seemed to be telling her that today's long wait was worthwhile.
After parking the car back in the neighborhood, I got out and saw several boxes of gifts in the truck bed.
The bright red color is festive and eye-catching.
The custom of people in country Z is that on the eve of a festival, people visit each other's homes to exchange gifts. Even if they are not relatives, as long as they have a good relationship, they will give gifts. If they have money, they will give expensive and good gifts; if they don't have money, they will give cheap gifts. It is all a matter of courtesy.
Jiang Shuyin picked them up and saw that they were all locally produced cookies and snack gift packs, as well as two boxes of milk. Then, her text message notification rang.
Thank you, Comrade Jiang, for taking time out of your busy schedule to help. The gift represents the sentiments of all the residents of our community. We may need your help again next time.
Jiang Shuyin turned off the screen and went upstairs. The snow was even deeper on the way back, so she drove carefully. She arrived home 4 minutes before midnight.
The key was inserted into the lock cylinder but hadn't even turned yet when the children in both rooms heard it.
She ran out barefoot, still managing to call out in a low voice, "Mommy! Mommy!"
Ace pursed his lips and peeked into the room from the doorway.
Jiang Shuyin was both amused and exasperated: "Still not asleep?" She beckoned Ace over: "You have class tomorrow, why aren't you asleep?"
Ace wasn't good at saying nice things, so he rubbed the top of his head against his mother's cool palm.
This child was more mature than his siblings from birth, and when he threw a tantrum, it was enough to drive her crazy.
Jiang Shuyin squatted down and hugged him, tightening her grip on his back.
My heart melted completely: "How about we sleep together tonight? I'll keep an eye on you."
"Okay." Heimei and Shuining were the quickest to agree.
Ace trotted into the room, grabbed his little pillow, and placed it on the bedside. Looking at the bed he hadn't seen in so long, he couldn't help but stroke the sheets.
The mother and her three children squeezed onto one bed. Jiang Shu, who had woken up early, was now incredibly sleepy. She raised her index finger to the little ones and said, "Shh—"
A few minutes later, Heimei and Shuining, whose little faces were flushed from holding back their words, also fell asleep.
Ace went to bed the latest, and seeing that none of them needed help covering themselves with blankets, he felt at ease and began his training.
His ice-type ability absorbs energy faster in this weather, and his intuition tells him that he will be able to break through that barrier and gain more power in a few days.
He wanted to protect his mother.
