It's rare that Jiang Zhiyuan was able to leave work and go home on time today.
Even Jiang Zhixing found it a bit strange.
After dinner, Sister Mei cleaned up the kitchen and then boiled water to bathe the two children.
Jiang Zhiyuan finally spoke: "I'm not busy lately, so I took a few days off. I was thinking of taking you and the children to the Northwest so that the two children can meet their maternal grandfather."
This was something Jiang Zhiyuan had kept in mind for a long time; he should have gone to pay respects to his father-in-law after the wedding.
Unfortunately, he was too busy with work to travel there, and then Xu Ningyan became pregnant soon after, making it even more impossible for him to make the long journey to the Northwest.
Now that the children are a bit older, the weather is neither too hot nor too cold at this time of year, making it more comfortable to take them out.
Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't have time later, so I might as well take this opportunity to go.
Xu Ningyan was taken aback. Jiang Zhiyuan had mentioned it to her once before, but she had almost forgotten about it because Jiang Zhiyuan was busy and then got pregnant and had a child. She didn't expect Jiang Zhiyuan to still remember it.
After thinking about it, I realized I should indeed make a trip to the Northwest to pay my respects, since I've taken over the body of someone else's daughter.
He should at least go and tell her. Although the soul isn't his daughter's, the body is hers.
According to bloodline inheritance, the Jiang brothers have indeed inherited Xu Yingxiong's bloodline, and it's time to let him see it.
He nodded immediately and asked Jiang Zhiyuan when they would depart.
Jiang Zhiyuan said that two days later, Xu Ningyan should also go to her workplace to ask for leave and pack her things.
Sister Mei was anxious. She had raised the child herself, and she was worried about taking him on a long trip all at once.
Fortunately, Jiang Zhiyuan said he would take her along too, otherwise, although his two sons were relatively easy to take care of, he was really worried that the couple wouldn't be able to manage.
When Sister Mei heard that she could go along, she immediately felt relieved.
Jiang Zhixing's eyes lit up: "Brother, I'll take a few days off too, and come along! It'll be easier for you two if there's one more person to take care of the two kids on the road, right?"
Jiang Zhiyuan kicked him: "I'm taking the kids to see their maternal grandfather, why are you getting involved?"
Jiang Zhixing said confidently, "Brother, you're wrong! I'm representing my sister-in-law's in-laws to present Uncle Xu with a bouquet of flowers and say a few words to show them our attitude!"
Jiang Zhiyuan: I think you're just asking for trouble!
Seeing that he couldn't reason with his brother, Jiang Zhixing immediately turned to Xu Ningyan, looking aggrieved: "Sister-in-law, please agree to take me with you! Otherwise, it'll just be Mom and me at home. She'll definitely stay in the hospital and not come back, and I'll be so lonely! Besides, if you're all gone, who will I ask for help if I can't do my homework? And, with none of you around, what if I get lured out to play by someone—"
Jiang Zhiyuan had a headache and rubbed his temples: "Shut up! If you keep talking nonsense, you don't need to come along!"
This means they've given in.
Having achieved his goal, Jiang Zhixing didn't linger and quickly went back to his room to continue working on his problems.
After giving Jiang Chen and his brother a bath and coaxing them to sleep, the two of them went back to their room.
After washing up, Xu Ningyan lay on the bed and turned to look at Jiang Zhixing: "So, why the sudden decision to go to the Northwest? Is it some kind of mission again?"
Logically speaking, for someone of Jiang Zhiyuan's rank, what kind of major case would require his involvement?
Jiang Zhiyuan's eyes flickered, and he gave a wry smile.
He knew he couldn't hide it from Xu Ningyan.
Looking at Xu Ningyan's ambiguous smile, he said vaguely, "This trip to the Northwest is to bring someone back to the capital."
Xu Ningyan's heart skipped a beat. Considering the current time, the policies from above had already loosened somewhat. Perhaps the person Jiang Zhiyuan was going to pick up was one of the first batch of people to be exonerated.
I wonder which big shot it is that we can't openly accept the invitation, and we have to send Jiang Zhiyuan and use the excuse of their family visiting relatives to pay respects to their ancestors as a cover.
However, Xu Ningyan also knew about the confidentiality regulations, and that she should not ask questions that she shouldn't or couldn't ask.
So he nodded and said, "Okay! I understand!"
Not a single unnecessary question was asked.
Xu Ningyan's understanding nature softened Jiang Zhiyuan's heart. He hugged Xu Ningyan and kissed her hair affectionately: "If things go smoothly this time, we can stay for about two or three days. If things don't go smoothly, we may have to stay for a week."
“I had Zhixing come with you just in case. I was worried that if I wasn’t around, he would be safer with you by my side.”
For the past month or two, Xu Ningyan has finally been able to see Jiang Zhiyuan before going to bed. After finishing their business, she would absentmindedly touch Jiang Zhiyuan's abs and have all sorts of fantasies.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhiyuan kept rambling on and on, and I couldn't stand it anymore.
He pinched Jiang Zhiyuan's waist, leaned forward, and silenced Jiang Zhiyuan with a kiss.
What's a grown man doing, rambling on and on late at night instead of doing something productive?
Jiang Zhiyuan was taken aback for a moment, but quickly came to his senses and took the initiative, chasing after her with his burning aura...
When Jiang Yuan returned from her night shift the next day and heard the news, she didn't think much of it.
Firstly, it was only a matter of course; secondly, once her eldest son made a decision, nothing could change his mind, and she was too lazy to bother.
I'm just a little reluctant to part with my two grandsons.
But in the end, I held back.
This trip to visit relatives in the Northwest involved a large and impressive entourage.
They used Jiang Zhiyuan's, Jiang Zhixing's, and Jiang Yuan's ID cards, and even borrowed Director Liu's ID card to buy four sleeper tickets.
It was the first time the two children had traveled so far from home, and they weren't afraid at all.
On the contrary, they were in high spirits. When they saw places they had never seen before, their eyes widened and their pupils darted back and forth, as if they couldn't take it all in.
She's so cute!
Even the flight attendants couldn't resist teasing him a couple of times before reluctantly leaving.
Children have limited energy, and they got sleepy not long after getting on the bus.
Even if these two children are easy to take care of, the journey was still quite tiring.
After getting off the train, the group of four adults and two children were all covered in dust and dirt.
Fortunately, after getting off the train, the Northwest Military Region, having received the news, had already sent people to pick me up.
It's the same guesthouse I stayed at last time.
Everyone took a good shower, changed into clean clothes, and ate a meal before they finally came back to life.
The two little ones, however, seemed rather listless.
The military region knew that both children had come this time, and someone even made a special exception to provide them with camel milk. The milk was freshly boiled, fragrant and rich.
Xu Ningyan was initially hesitant, as she had been feeding the two little ones breast milk, along with formula and complementary foods.
I've never had camel milk before.
However, the people at the guesthouse said that camel milk is a good thing, and local children usually drink cow's milk or goat's milk if their mothers don't have enough milk.
Those who are particular about their health drink camel milk, which makes their children very healthy and less prone to illness.
Xu Ningyan then tried giving it to the two children.
Surprisingly, the little guy accepted it well and gulped it down.
What's even more infuriating is that after drinking camel milk, the two of them refused to drink milk powder.
