Chapter 16 Moving
Lu Tingxiao and the two brothers Jiang Jinghuai and Jiang Jingyi drove to Jiang Ruoxi's home, packed up Jiang Ruoxi's few belongings, cleaned the house, locked the door, and gave the key to Mrs. Li next door, telling her that Jiang Ruoxi had moved back home and the lease would not be renewed.
After handing over the keys, the three of them drove back to the Jiang family with Jiang Ruoxi's luggage, and put the luggage in the room that Wen Shuyao had specially prepared for Jiang Ruoxi, waiting for Jiang Ruoxi to put it back later.
After putting everything in place, Jiang Ruoxi looked at Lu Tingxiao and the two Jiang brothers with gratitude. Jiang Jingyi scratched his head and said, "Sister, what are you thanking me for? We are your brothers. Why should my brothers thank you on my behalf? This will be your home from now on. Don't be polite. Just tell your brother and me if you need anything!" Jiang Jinghuai also smiled and nodded in agreement.
Seeing the hands of the wall clock quietly passing a certain moment, Lu Tingxiao thought to himself, "It's getting late!" He slowly stood up and said politely to Jiang Chengyue, "Uncle Jiang, it's getting late. I'll take my leave and go home." After that, his deep and charming eyes looked at Jiang Ruoxi again. Their eyes met, as if he had thousands of words to say.
After a short pause, Lu Tingxiao continued softly, "Ruoxi, you just met Uncle Jiang and the others. I believe Uncle Jiang and Aunt Wen have a lot to say to you. You should spend more time with Uncle Jiang and the others in the next two days. I still have five days before I can return to Liao Province. Let's make an appointment in two days!"
Jiang Ruoxi nodded gently in agreement, and replied with a smile: "Okay, Brother Lu, I'll spend more time with my parents and brother in the next two days, and we'll make an appointment in two days!" Then, Lu Tingxiao said goodbye to the Jiang family again before turning around and leaving, leaving behind a slender and tall back that gradually walked away.
After Lu Tingxiao left, Jiang Jinghuai and his brother took Jiang Ruoxi to familiarize themselves with the home environment. As soon as they walked into the backyard, a kitten jumped out and jumped directly into Jiang Ruoxi's arms.
Jiang Jinghuai and his brother explained, "Little sister, this is the cat that Dad raised for Mom. It has always been raised in the backyard. It is called Duntun because it makes a sound when drinking water!"
Jiang Ruoxi teased Dunton with surprise, and Dunton snored comfortably in Jiang Ruoxi's arms.
Jiang Jinghuai saw this and joked, "It seems that Duntun likes you very much. In our family, Duntun can only let mom hold him, and no one else can get close to him!"
Holding Dun Dun, Jiang Ruoxi's heart was filled with warmth. She knew that from this moment on, she had truly integrated into this family. A new life was unfolding before her eyes. The future was full of hope, and these kind family members around her would accompany her through the good years.
Jiang Ruoxi carried Dunton back to the living room. Jiang's father and mother were sitting on the sofa and talking. Jiang's mother saw her daughter carrying Dunton back, so she took Jiang Ruoxi's hand and asked her to sit on the sofa. She looked at Dunton in her daughter's hand and said, "This little thing is usually very smart. Don't think that it was brought back by your father and given to me. No one else in our family can touch it except me. It's really brought back by your father, so only the women in our Jiang family can touch it. No one else can touch it!"
"Mom, so it seems that Ton Ton's temper is a bit like Dad's. It's true that people who are not from the same family (meow) don't enter the same house. People who are not from our family (meow) don't enter our house!" Jiang Ruoxi joked.
"Yes, that's the good thing about the men in our Jiang family. You will know if you live at home for a long time. The women in our family are very happy!" Wen Shuyao echoed.
"Xixi, let's go visit your uncle's house tomorrow. We're holding a family reunion banquet today. Your uncle, aunt, and cousins saw that we were too busy and didn't talk in detail, so they made an appointment with me to go to their house tomorrow to talk. You don't know, your uncle and aunt also wanted a little girl, but who knew they gave birth to a bad boy! Originally, your uncle and aunt were hoping that I would give birth to a little girl so that they could raise you as their own daughter. Who knew that if nothing unexpected happened, an accident would happen. The little girl was conceived, but she was not even warmed up by me, and you were stolen. You have become a pain in the hearts of all of us!" Thinking of the past, Wen Shuyao couldn't help feeling a sharp pain in her heart again.
"Mom, it's all over. Didn't you find me? Everything is fine now. I will be filial to you in the future!" Jiang Ruoxi said to Wen Shuyao to comfort her.
"Yes, Shuyao, Xixi is found, and the person behind the scenes has received the punishment he deserves. Speaking of the person behind the scenes, Shuyao, I can't go to eldest brother's house with you tomorrow. Zhao Bingquan, who stole Xixi, is suspected of treason, and Yamamoto is lurking in the clan and must be dealt with. Now the Kingdom of Yue is still constantly provoking China on the border. I am afraid that once the military order is given, I might go far to the border. Jing Huai, Jing Yi, Ting Xiao and others might also be involved. So, I must clean it up and not leave any worries, otherwise I won't be at ease even if I go to the front line!" Jiang Chengyue said apologetically to Wen Shuyao.
In fact, everyone knew that, not to mention that Zhao Bingquan stole the soldier's child, just his contact with Yamamoto Masao might have been a treason and he might have to eat peanuts. No matter what, the organization would not wrongly accuse a good person, nor would it let a bad person go. Then there is Yamamoto Masao. No one knows how long he has been lurking in China. It will be a considerable amount of work to find all the people who have contact with him.
"It's okay, Chengyue. Tomorrow I will let Jing Huai and Jing Yi accompany Xixi and me to my eldest brother's house. You can go and do your work without worry. It's important to catch the hidden spies as soon as possible and not cause losses to the country. The same applies when you have time to go to my eldest brother's house in the future. I will explain it to my eldest brother and sister-in-law!" Wen Shuyao understood the importance of what her husband was going to do now, and she didn't get angry at all because her husband couldn't accompany her and her daughter to her eldest brother-in-law's house.
"Thank you Shuyao for your understanding. Buy more things tomorrow and don't be reluctant to spend money. Tell brother and sister-in-law that I will have a drink with him after I finish my work!" Jiang Chengyue said to Wen Shuyao.
"Don't worry, my brother and sister-in-law are not stingy people. What's more, my brother and sister-in-law mainly want to take care of Xixi tomorrow. You are not important!" Wen Shuyao and Jiang Chengyue joked.
Jiang Chengyue touched his chest and pretended to be sad, "Shuyao, Xixi, don't you feel guilty? My heart... feels so cold!"
The mother and daughter smiled at each other and said in unison: "No, our consciences won't hurt!"
The family of five laughed happily, and the joyful atmosphere dispelled the slight melancholy just now!
