Chapter 45 Chapter 45 Jiang Dong looked at Xia Li deeply,...
In order to "avenge her previous shame", Charlie decided to find someone to help.
The first person she thought of was Jiang Dong. There was no way, as soon as she saw him yesterday, something seemed to sprout in her heart.
It was like going back to the past, wanting to order him to do everything.
She felt that Jiang Dong had indeed spoiled her a bit, and his conspiracy might be to make her think of him to solve and overcome any problems she encountered, with the ultimate goal of making her inseparable from him forever.
People are really quite inertial. Even though they've been apart for so long, they still feel so familiar. Really, she thought she might not even recognize him, but who knew it was just her assumption.
Jiang Dong had always been very strong and seemed to enjoy working. The point was, she had her son in her care, so what was wrong with him doing some work?
Having made up her mind, she prepared to go out and try her luck.
There was no other way. Who told her not to ask him where he lived yesterday? However, based on her little intuitive understanding of Jiang Dong, if he had nothing to do today, why would he come over to see him again?
If he doesn't come, don't expect her to be nice to him in the future.
After Xia Li washed yesterday's clothes and hung them on the rope in the yard, she said goodbye to her aunt and took Jiang Zai out, saying that she was going out to cultivate the mother-son relationship.
Xia Pingzhi thought what she said seemed a bit high-sounding, and looked at her suspiciously for a long time.
Xia Li was truly fearless, except for her aunt. Her aunt's gaze on her made her hold on Jiang Zi's little hand tighten.
After getting her aunt's permission and being released, Xia Li took Jiang Zai's hand and went out without saying a word.
After he left the house, he patted his chest lightly, thinking to himself what a loser he was, being so secretive even when doing something for the family.
But Xia Li couldn't help but feel a little scared and ashamed.
Jiangzai watched his mother let go of his hand and hold it in front of his eyes. His hand was white and he blew it with his little mouth.
Seeing this, Xia Li quickly squatted down and took Jiangzai's little hand to examine it carefully. She found that it was a little pale before, but now it has returned to its rosy color. She asked uncertainly, "Did Mommy hurt you just now?"
Jiang Zai nodded, and Charlie immediately felt embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, Jiangzai. I was in such a hurry to get out that I didn't notice." Xia Li apologized to Jiangzai. "How about this, to apologize, I'll buy you a lollipop later. How about that?"
Jiang Zai likes to eat this kind of candy. It can be said that he likes to eat a lot of candies. However, my aunt heard that the neighbor's child, who is now in elementary school, has a lot of cavities in his teeth. She went to see a doctor, and the doctor said it would be best not to let the child eat candy at home.
Auntie used to let Charlie bring candy back to Jiangzai, but ever since she found out about the child's situation, she's strictly controlled the amount of candy Jiangzai eats. Charlie feels like she's not taking care of the child enough, so she just listens to what her aunt says. Since she told her not to give Jiangzai candy, she almost never brings any home anymore. Jiangzai has been living a "hard" life without candy.
Jiang Zai hesitated, not knowing whether to agree to eat the candy. Because last time his mother asked him if he wanted candy, he was so happy and nodded his head, saying yes, but then his mother told her aunt that she had to eat the candy.
He was so angry at that time. Now he wondered if his mother would lie to him again.
Xia Li looked at Jiang Zi in silence and thought to herself, "Have you even managed to resist eating candy? You're truly worthy of being my child. With such willpower, there's nothing he won't succeed in."
It wasn't until Xia Li saw the obvious look of suspicion on Jiang Zai's face that an idea suddenly occurred to her. She asked him in disbelief, "Are you worried that Mommy is lying to you? Don't worry, I was just joking back then. I won't tell you this time." To prove her reliability, Xia Li added, "How about this? Buy two and we can each have one, okay?"
Jiangzai nodded, thinking that since his mother was eating with him, she would definitely not tell his aunt.
Charlie snorted softly, "You're quite vindictive. Anyway, you can't tell me anything about what happened today. If you can do that, I'll take you to that KFC we ate at before."
As promised, Xia Li bought a strawberry milk lollipop for Jiang Zi. She and Jiang Zi each took one, tore off the wrapper, and stuffed it into their mouths. It was sweet.
She thought it tasted good to eat one occasionally. The little boy Jiangzai really liked it. After eating the candy, his smile to Xia Li seemed much more sincere.
There are people cleaning the roads, which includes clearing dead branches and leaves. Some trees that were broken in half or even blown up by the roots need to be handled by large vehicles to see if they can be replanted and revived. Those that cannot be revived will be towed away directly.
Xia Li felt that the typhoon had caused considerable damage. As she walked along, she saw that some shop signs along the street had been blown down. Those who lived in high-rise buildings looked up and saw that some of the four- and five-story buildings looked like they had no windows at all.
I guess a lot of it needs to be repaired. But it's also good that at least I haven't heard of any casualties nearby. Broken things are minor, but life safety is the top priority.
She took Jiangzi walking up and down the main street, stopping to look at something curious. When Jiangzi saw a cart pulling tree branches, he stopped and watched the cart leave before looking away.
He held a lollipop in his hand and asked Charlie in confusion, "Mom, where are we going? Why are we still here?"
How could Xia Li explain to him that she was "fishing"? Her own son was here, and if Jiang Dong saw it, why wouldn't he come over? As for whether Jiang Dong would come over, Xia Li thought carefully and felt that there was no other option.
The weather was so bad last night, and Jiang Dong didn't come to see if they were safe. If he really didn't come, Xia Li felt that there was no need for her to have any contact with this person other than the child.
She was quite relaxed, standing in front of a shop in a very comfortable posture. Jiang Zai stood beside her, looking up and talking to her. Xia Li listened and responded from time to time.
This was the scene Jiang Dong saw when he came over.
His shabby house had been leaking since last night. He had spent the entire night using anything he could to collect water, including washbasins and bowls, but it was of no use. The waterproofing had not been done properly, and the house was still wet.
I got up in the morning, tidied the house briefly, and went out, thinking of coming to see how Xia Li and the others were doing.
Although he knew that this might make him make a wasted trip or earn Charlie's disgusted look, he still came over.
He hesitated a little on the way here, and after coming to this street, he found Charlie wandering on the street with her child.
Seeing that both of them were fine, he felt relieved.
He was originally planning to leave, but when he saw Xia Li's bored look, as if she was waiting for someone or looking for someone, Jiang Dong felt a little uncertain.
Maybe Charlie was waiting for someone, her aunt perhaps?
But is there a possibility that Xia Li is waiting for him with the child? Jiang Dong was shocked by this thought in his mind, but maybe she is waiting for him.
His heart immediately surged with excitement and indescribable joy.
Charlie was originally very confident in her heart, but as time went on, she began to feel less certain.
That guy won’t really come, right? Maybe the problem he encountered last night was more serious?
Maybe he was really delayed and would not come until the afternoon, so he would not come to see them immediately?
She was very distressed and couldn't help but stroke her forehead and shake her head.
However, Xia Li didn't feel distressed for long. She quickly put down her hand that was stroking her forehead and crossed her arms across her chest in an arrogant manner.
She glanced at Jiang Dong and asked in confusion, "What are you doing here again?"
Jiangzai was facing Xia Li the whole time and didn't hear the footsteps coming from behind him. He heard his mother talking to someone behind him and turned his head away.
"Dad!" Jiang Zai shouted excitedly when he saw it was Jiang Dong, and then suddenly hugged Jiang Dong's thighs.
Jiang Dong was a tough guy, and a fatherly look instantly appeared on his face. He smiled, lifted Jiang Zai up by the waist, threw him over his head, caught him, and then held him in his arms.
When the little guy Jiangzai saw his father, he excitedly kept calling "Dad, Dad" and asked him to toss him around, which led to a burst of crisp laughter.
Charlie saw that no one was paying attention to her pretending and no one was paying any attention to what she said. The father and son were completely immersed in the joy of reunion.
Hypocritical man, how many times have you secretly seen your son? Is it really necessary to do this?
She suddenly felt like an outsider, and her eyes became somewhat resentful.
Jiang Dong noticed Xia Li's emotions, but he had to take care of one of them first. After playing the tossing game with Jiang Zai a few times, he talked to Xia Li and answered the questions she had asked him before.
Jiang Zai was still on his body, unwilling to get off. Jiang Dong let him do as he pleased, still holding her. Xia Li's words were a bit emotional, but Jiang Dong didn't care. He didn't want to say that he just strolled here casually. To be honest, he came to see her again because he was worried about Xia Li and the child.
"How's your place? Is everything alright?"
Xia Li was choked by Jiang Dong's "honesty", which made her feel a little weird.
So she was a little more honest, "Well, how did you know the house we live in is leaking? Jiangzai, tell your dad that the house is leaking, right?"
Jiang Zai nodded and said to his father, "Yes, our house was leaking last night, and there was a lot of water in the basin."
Xia Li looked at Jiang Zi with satisfaction. "Alas, we feel so sorry for Jiang Zi. I don't know what will happen to the house when it rains next time. Will Jiang Zi get wet?"
Jiang Dong, it depends on whether you want your son to get wet in the rain?
Jiang Dong looked at Xia Li deeply and asked, "Do you need my help?"
After hearing this, Charlie looked a little hesitant, but finally nodded.
"Yeah, that's fine. I was originally planning to find someone else, but after all, you are Jiangzai's biological father, so you shouldn't cheat on your work. I still trust you."
Jiang Dong: "Thank you!"
