Chapter 20: Going out of your way to buy storybooks to win favor!
A small hand grabbed Yan Qiu's sleeve, and a baby voice came into her ears, cautiously asking, "Auntie, can I go?" Her beautiful eyes stared straight at her. The pleading look in her eyes made it hard to refuse, so she directly put her into Qi Jinchen's arms and carried her away.
Jiang Xiaoxiao was very happy!
There are so many fun things in this house, so there must be more fun things outside!
Happiness overflowed from his face.
Qi Jinchen suddenly felt empty in his chest.
Standing there, I felt a strong sense of abandonment.
How come the little one who was just clinging to his own arms is suddenly clinging to his mother?
Isn’t he nice?
Everyone is unhappy and no one can comfort them.
He put the book in his hand on the bedside and walked out, wanting to go shopping to see if he could buy some small things to amuse her.
This street is not very busy, but it has everything you need.
Yan Qiu walked out holding the cute little guy.
Jiang Xiaoxiao felt that she couldn't see it all. She wanted to ask her aunt to slow down, but she didn't dare to open her mouth. She didn't even dare to blink and just looked at everything she could see!
This place is completely different from the village!
Most of the houses in the village are made of mud bricks, and they are not as wealthy as the neighboring village. However, the neighboring Luwei Village and Huaihua Village are separated by a mountain, and no one goes there on weekdays, so Jiang Xiaoxiao has never seen what brick and tile houses look like.
Jiang Qingmei always whispered in her ears that Luwei Village was rich, and Huaihua Village was full of mud bricks or mud houses, which were not as good as Luhua Village at all.
Jiang Xiaoxiao was still young that year and didn't know what it meant.
But now that she saw the scene before her, she felt that the Luwei Village that Jiang Qingmei had described must not be as beautiful as this one! Many places were very flat, unlike the uneven houses in the village!
"Auntie, it's so beautiful here!" Jiang Xiaoxiao's eyes were full of curiosity and happiness.
Whenever Sanjiang Qingmei comes, she will take Jiang Xiaowei to the town.
But she never went there.
I can only compare the village with here in my mind.
There was a red patch on the ground not far away.
Yan Qiu followed her gaze and patiently explained, "This is what's left after the firecrackers are set off. It's useless and will be swept away. Over there is a billboard with a printed image. This is a small town."
"We need to take the highway to go home. Look, that's it." Yan Qiu pointed them out to her one by one. "If we drive on this road, we'll be very close to home. Are you happy?"
"Happy!" Jiang Xiaoxiao danced with joy, "Auntie, I want to get down and walk by myself!"
"Okay, okay." Yan Qiu put her down and warned, "Hold my hand and don't let go. This is not the village. Don't run around. You can easily be kidnapped."
Jiang Xiaoxiao seemed to understand, "What do you mean by kidnapping?"
"Hmm..." Yan Qiu thought for a moment, "Kidnapped means taking you away from me. Then Auntie will never find you again, and you will be severely tortured by an evil mother-in-law, just like Jiang Qingmei."
Jiang Xiaoxiao frightenedly clung to Yan Qiu, "Then I won't go down!"
"Auntie, hug me, hug me!"
The little face turned pale. Yan Qiu found it funny but also felt that what he said was a bit harsh.
Feeling guilty.
Look how scared the little cutie is.
So she started to comfort her, "Auntie is always here." She quite liked the name of Auntie, especially when it came from the little guy's mouth. The baby voice was so cute and adorable!
"Yeah! I won't run around anymore and won't give the evil mother-in-law any chance, hum!" the little guy muttered.
Yan Qiu thought to himself that it was over.
If Ah Chen knew about this, he would definitely blame her.
But the little guy already had an impression, and she didn't know how to turn it around for a while. Just when she arrived at the place, she raised her eyebrows and said, "Xiaoxiao, let's see what clothes you like."
Jiang Xiaoxiao was immediately attracted by the pile of beautiful clothes!
"Wow!" Her eyes lit up. "Can I buy it?"
"certainly!"
Yan Qiu thought Jiang Xiaoxiao would forget what she had said before like other children and be distracted by the clothes in front of her. Unexpectedly, the little girl didn't even want the clothes when she saw that she had to go to the fields. "No! Don't go to the fields! There will be a wicked mother-in-law who will catch me! Auntie, Xiaoxiao, don't go to the fields!"
She held on tighter.
Yan Qiu suddenly felt that he should be more careful with his words in the future.
So that the little one won’t have any wild thoughts.
After a while of mental comfort, Jiang Xiaoxiao stepped carefully on the ground, not daring to take her eyes off Yan Qiu. She was mostly the one choosing clothes, while the little guy stayed by her side, pinching the corners of her clothes, fearing that she would be kidnapped.
Yan Qiu was heartbroken.
I bought some things and took her back to the hotel.
Jiang Xiaoxiao got down from Yan Qiu's arms, looked left and right, even looking behind the green plants in the room. Her face became nervous, "Auntie, where is Brother Achen? He might have been kidnapped!"
Yan Qiu was stunned.
Qi Jinchen always travels with bodyguards, so she is not worried about anything happening.
Jiang Xiaoxiao was different. She had just finished telling the story of the evil mother-in-law, but she didn't notice that Qi Jinchen's little head had already started to imagine the scene of Jiang Qingmei's distorted face abusing Brother Achen. He was so frightened that his face turned pale again. "Auntie, let's go find Brother Achen, okay?"
Yan Qiu wanted to say no, there were bodyguards over there.
I really couldn't bear to reject the little guy.
He picked her up and said, "Okay, let's go find brother together!" As soon as they walked out of the hotel, they saw Qi Jinchen walking in with a bag of things and bumped into them head-on.
Yan Qiu looked at the things in his bag.
The little guy was completely focused on Qi Jinchen. He rubbed himself off Yan Qiu, turned around and around on his little legs, pinched him, and patted him gently. "Very good, brother Achen was not replaced by a dummy!" He exclaimed and hugged him tightly.
Qi Jinchen was puzzled, "Why change it to a dummy?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao hugged Qi Jinchen tightly, and warned him like a little adult, "Brother Chen, you can't run around. If you run around, the evil mother-in-law will catch you and turn you into a dummy. You'll never see your family again!"
"Auntie and Xiaoxiao will be very, very sad." After saying that, she rubbed against his arms.
Qi Jinchen glanced at Yan Qiu and said helplessly, "Mom, don't tell her such scary things. Children have very big imaginations and tend to overthink things."
Yan Qiu knew he was in the wrong and apologized, "I'm sorry..."
She didn't expect the little guy to think so much.
The little one who was thinking a lot tilted his head and said, "What is a brain hole? Do children have holes in their brains? Doesn't that mean..."
As she spoke, she began to think wildly again.
Qi Jinchen held his forehead and grabbed the collar of her neck. "Let's go back to the room. I'll tell you a story."
Jiang Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up and she was immediately attracted. "Can Brother Achen tell stories?"
"Is it like the little stories that mothers tell their children to put them to sleep?" The five-year-old child didn't know what concealment was, and his desire was overflowing. Qi Jinchen nodded with heartache and picked up the bag.
He said, "Yes, these are storybooks. I will read them to you when I get home."
