Chapter 19: Warm Family



Listening to the ding-dong sound of the 5200 broadcast, Jiang Xiaoqiao knew that she had won a great victory in her first battle!

The fake smile on Xu Aili's face could hardly be maintained, while Jiang Daqiao looked annoyed and wanted to break free from Jiang Xiaoqiao's dirty hands.

But after being glared at by Xu Aili, Jiang Daqiao barely suppressed the urge to curse, but she couldn't hide the look of annoyance on her face.

Seeing this, the people around continued to whisper and chatter.

Xu Aili's back teeth were almost broken as she hurried back to the small detached house in the back row.

Those who live behind here are all cadres of the steel plant and people who have made great contributions to the factory.

A few years ago, there was a nanny named Wang Ma in the house. Later, when the anti-luxury trend became popular, Wang Ma was sent away.

All the big and small chores at home should have fallen on Jiang Xiaoqiao.

But Jiang Xiaoqiao went to live in the school dormitory a year earlier, so Xu Aili had to do all the big and small chores in the house by herself.

As soon as she entered the yard, Jiang Daqiao could no longer pretend.

"Jiang Xiaoqiao, take your dirty hands away!"

"It's so dirty, so dirty, so dirty!"

"Why are you coming here when you can't just stay in the countryside?"

Jiang Daqiao stretched out his hand to break free, but failed after two or three attempts.

Jiang Daqiao glared at Jiang Xiaoqiao, "You little bitch, go to the countryside to work and your strength will increase."

"Quick, immediately, let go of my hands, they are so dirty!"

Jiang Xiaoqiao curled her lips slightly as she listened to the ding-dong sounds that continued. 5200 also reported to her that there were several people gathered at the gate of the courtyard.

If she didn't take advantage of such a good opportunity, it would be a shame for Jiang Daqiao's rapid-fire words.

"Big, big sister, I'm sorry, I, I'll pat you."

As he spoke, Jiang Xiaoqiao loosened his hands and began to help Jiang Daqiao pat the dust and dirt off his body.

"You're going to die, it hurts, it hurts, be gentle."

Jiang Xiaoqiao said nothing, just helped to brush off the dust and chatted a few words.

"Sister, isn't this just dusting off?"

"How can you possibly take a clean shot without putting in some effort?"

Jiang Daqiao screamed in pain again. Xu Aili was already feeling annoyed. She was annoyed that Jiang Xiaoqiao, who was supposed to be in the countryside, had suddenly appeared. She was annoyed by the scene at the gate of the family compound where everyone had just seen her. She was annoyed that Jiang Daqiao hadn't learned the slightest bit of her character in all these years...

"Okay, Da Qiao, stop it. How much strength can she have?" Xu Aili looked at Jiang Xiaoqiao and said, "I'm tired after a day's work. Go to the kitchen and cook. I'll make pork elbow and tomato noodles tonight."

Jiang Xiaoqiao laughed. Really, who gave Xu Aili such a big face?

Who made Xu Aili think that Jiang Xiaoqiao came back to the city with great difficulty just to do things for them, mother and daughter?

"What are you standing there for? Go get some work," Xu Aili said. "If you don't work, don't even think about eating a single meal at home."

"Director Jiang, you're back!"

"Mrs. Chen, you are standing in front of my house. What's going on?"

"Oh, I was just passing by. Director Jiang, you should go home and check on your Xiao Qiao."

Hearing the conversation outside, Xu Aili and Jiang Daqiao's expressions changed suddenly.

Jiang Xiaoqiao took in the whole scene and curled her lips sarcastically, "Change, change, change! Even chameleons can't change like these mother and daughter."

Jiang Daqiao grabbed Xu Aili's hand and said nervously, "Mom, why are they doing this? Eavesdropping outside the door. Those words just now shouldn't get out, right?"

Zhou Xu's mother was not very satisfied with her in the first place. If at this critical juncture, word came out that she did not treat her sisters well, their marriage might be ruined.

Jiang Daqiao's face was full of panic. After a moment, he glared at Jiang Xiaoqiao with anger in his eyes.

Why did Jiang Xiaoqiao appear at this time? From childhood to adulthood, whenever Jiang Xiaoqiao appeared, nothing good happened!

Why couldn't she just die in the countryside and never come back!

At this time, the gate was opened forcefully.

"Xiao Qiao, kid, you're back?" Jiang Hongjun said excitedly.

After seeing Jiang Xiaoqiao's appearance in the yard, Jiang Hongjun, a grown man, suddenly felt his eyes turn red.

"Dad, you're back." Jiang Daqiao greeted.

"Old Jiang, you're back. Sit down for a while. I'll make dinner right away." Xu Aili chuckled and said, "Xiao Qiao is back today, so let's have a nice dinner tonight."

"Dad..." Jiang Xiaoqiao said, "I'm back."

"Xiao Qiao, you've suffered." Jiang Hongjun said, "You, what are you wearing, and what about this bag?"

It's a frugal and simple outfit. This set of clothes was made not long after Jiang Xiaoqiao went to the countryside. She pieced together one of the outfits using the rags she exchanged with Hongtang and Gu Jinhua.

Jiang Xiaoqiao tugged at the clothes, just at the most obvious joint.

"My money was stolen on the train, and my luggage is gone," Jiang Xiaoqiao said. "I borrowed this dress from a fellow villager."

"Dad, I wrote a letter home as soon as I arrived at the station. Didn't you receive it?"

On the way back, Jiang Hongjun also heard from the gatekeeper and the old ladies of each family that Jiang Xiaoqiao did write letters home after going to the countryside, and it was not more than a month later that he sent letters to his office.

Jiang Hongjun looked at Xu Aili and asked, "Comrade Xu Aili, did you really not receive the letter Xiao Qiao sent home?"

Xu Aili looked extremely aggrieved and said in disbelief, "Old Jiang, what do you mean by this?"

"Do you think I'm the kind of person who would hide a letter from Xiao Qiao and not tell you?"

Xu Aili's eyes were filled with tears and she was heartbroken.

"Mom," Jiang Daqiao said distressedly, "Dad, how could you doubt my mom? My mom has always been dedicated to this family. You are such a disappointment."

Looking at Xu Aili and Jiang Daqiao, Jiang Hongjun pursed his lips and said, "That's not what I meant. Maybe I missed it."

"I'll ask the gatekeeper, Old Wang, tomorrow..."

"Old Jiang, are you doubting me?" Xu Aili cried, "Ouch, my head hurts a little."

"Why does your head hurt? Aili, where do you feel uncomfortable?" Jiang Hongjun walked forward and asked about Xu Aili's physical condition with concern.

After seeing this scene, Jiang Xiaoqiao no longer felt any emotion in her heart.

It has always been like this since I was a child.

Did Jiang Hongjun care about her? Yes, he did.

But at the same time, Jiang Hongjun also cares about Xu Aili and Jiang Daqiao.

He has always been like this, thinking that everyone in this family is a kind and gentle person, and that this family is perfect and a warm big family.

In fact, apart from himself, Jiang Xiaoqiao, Jiang Daqiao and Xu Aili did not think so.

"Old Jiang, I'm much better now. I just have a headache that comes and goes. It will be much better after this." Xu Aili said, "It might be because I didn't take good care of myself after giving birth to Da Qiao, so I got this problem."
