Zhou Tian, who was already asleep inside, got up when she heard someone talking in the house.
She was especially excited to see Jiang Qiao eating and rushed over to him.
"Jiang Qiao, when did you arrive? Why didn't you tell me beforehand so we could pick you up?"
Jinglan quickly pulled her daughter up, "Make sure Jiang Qiao eats properly. She just arrived and bought you lots of delicious food, including meat. Mom will cook meat for you tomorrow. Eat however you like, there's plenty."
Since recovering, Zhou Tian has become much more lively. She quickly sat down opposite Jiang Qiao and said while watching Jiang Qiao eat, "Jiang Qiao, why have you lost weight?"
Jiang Qiao swallowed the food in her mouth. "I just came from the south. Oh, by the way, Uncle Zhou, Brother Ning Hao has gone to the front lines—"
This one sentence startled Zhou Baorui: "What? He's gone?"
Jiang Qiao nodded. "When I left, I saw their car heading that way. What about Brother Zhou's side?"
Speaking of his son, Zhou Baorui sighed, "That brat, don't mention him to me. Those two brothers were covering for each other. I thought neither of them had gone. Well, now I know, they both went."
Jiang Qiao was dumbfounded. "What? Brother Zhou went too? Are you kidding me?"
Zhou Baorui sighed, "I guessed right. Ning Hao told me that he asked his older brother to come and see him when he was off work. My brat said that he would take Ning Hao out to play when he was on vacation. You tell me, these two brothers are obviously up to something."
Jiang Qiao shook her head. "Perhaps it's just a coincidence. Brother Zhou shouldn't have made any moves, right? But it doesn't matter. Those scoundrels, who told them to provoke us and try to imitate the Japanese? Did they really think we were easy to bully?"
If you don't beat them up, you won't know that Lord Ma has three eyes.
"Uncle, don't worry, they're both adults, they should know what's going on."
There was nothing more Zhou Baorui could say, and even if he was worried, nagging Jiang Qiao wouldn't help.
Since this girl can say that, her nephew probably has the medicine too. If her nephew has it, then her son probably has it too.
"Alright, go take a shower and get a good night's sleep. It hasn't been easy coming all this way, especially with all this stuff you've brought."
Zhou Tian always accompanies Jiang Qiao when he takes a shower. I don't know if it's because she lacks playmates or friends, but whenever she sees Jiang Qiao, she becomes his shadow.
Originally, Zhou Baorui and his wife had arranged for Jiang Qiao to have a room to herself, but now Zhou Tian has insisted on making her sleep in the same bed with her.
Fortunately, it's a double bed, so there's no need to worry about not having enough room to sleep.
After the couple returned to the bedroom, Jinglan finally asked, "Why did Jiang Qiao take so long to get here? It's been so long, could something have happened?"
Zhou Baorui smiled and said, "Does she look like someone who's been in trouble? She looks energetic, she definitely won't suffer any losses."
I reckon she's most likely out on business. Don't forget, that girl is very capable; her achievements weren't for nothing. She's probably out helping out.
"The fact that he came at this time means he must still remember what he promised our son. I really didn't expect him to be so loyal to his word; I thought Jiang Qiao would have gone home long ago."
Jiang Qiao's appearance was also unexpected by Zhou Baorui. Who would have thought that it would take so long for this child to arrive?
However, she secretly admired Wen Jingwan and her husband. If it were them, they definitely wouldn't let their daughter wander around outside alone like that. They must have been so trusting of their child that they didn't even ask her questions.
"I never realized before that the Wen family girl was such a carefree person. Let's not even talk about their son, how can they be so at ease with a girl? Although Jiang Qiao is capable, she's not like them. Aren't they afraid something might happen to the child?"
Jing Lan ignored Zhou Baorui's mutterings and immediately started thinking about how to process the meat.
"No, you go to sleep first. I need to get the meat out quickly, otherwise it will spoil if left overnight."
Zhou Baorui originally wanted to rest, but his wife couldn't sit still anymore, so what could he do but get up and help?
Jiang Qiao was really tired. She had walked all the way and then taken a car ride. After chatting with Zhou Tian for a few minutes, she immediately fell asleep.
Zhou Tian was so excited that she couldn't sleep, so she decided not to sleep at all and went to find her parents. Tomorrow was Sunday, so she didn't have to go to school.
Seeing their daughter arrive, the couple were too busy to handle everything, so they simply asked Zhou Tian to help out as well.
Jinglan has one good point: before, when her daughter was in poor health, she didn't let her do much housework. But now that her daughter is healthier, she teaches her what needs to be taught and doesn't spoil her by not letting her do anything just because she's the only daughter.
"Oh my god, why did Jiang Qiao send so many things over? Mom, this time, our family really owes the eldest a favor."
Zhou Baorui smiled and said, "We'll pay it back slowly in the future. These things aren't something your father can get just because he has a position. Even if he has money, he might not be able to buy them."
Remember this: you brothers and sisters should keep in touch with Jiang Qiao. Even if she doesn't reciprocate, we should remember her kindness.
Jinglan gathered some meat and said, "Old Zhou, why don't you send some of the better quality meat to them? There's so much, the family really can't eat it all in a short time. Let them have some fresh meat too, what do you think?"
“Sure, why not? With this, those guys will be ecstatic. Daughter, come on, let’s go deliver the meat with Dad.”
Despite her husband being the head of a county, Jinglan knew that she had achieved everything she had today through her own hard work.
But even the county magistrate has the final say. Even a hero needs three helpers. If there's something good to eat, she has to send some to her subordinates.
Not for any other reason than that these people can provide more support to their men at work.
Jiang Qiao had no idea that the things she brought kept the couple busy for most of the night. Well, the temperature here was relatively warm, and even in October in the north, things wouldn't keep well.
However, at the time she felt that since she had come all this way, she should bring them more things, because who knows when she could come again.
Putting aside everything else, just for Zhou Tianyu and Ning Hao's sake, she couldn't be stingy anymore. Besides, she really didn't lack this kind of thing in her space.
When she woke up the next morning, Zhou Tian was still sleeping next to her. Since the girl recovered, she had gained a lot of weight and her complexion was much healthier.
As soon as Jiang Qiao stirred, Zhou Tian woke up too, her eyes still blurry with sleep, and said, "Why are you up so early? Go back to sleep a little longer—"
Jiang Qiao shook her head. "I've slept all night, that's enough. I'm going to exercise, do you want to come?"
