In less than twenty minutes, Shen Mo came back with Zhiqi.

When Zhiqi followed Shen Mo, he was very nervous. Grandma Wang's words last night lingered in his ears like a magic sound all night long.

He was also really afraid that he would be kicked around like a ball and then be sent to another family.

Huo Zhiqi followed Shen Mo into the yard with a deep sense of uneasiness.

Jiang Xing heard the voice, turned around and said with a smile, "You guys are back, take a shower and come over to taste the salty drinks."

Shen Mo listened to his wife and walked over without hesitation. Huo Zhiqi also hesitated for a moment and followed in her footsteps.

Jiang Xi scooped out some soup with a spoon, then picked up the ribs in the spoon with chopsticks, blew on them, and handed them to Zhiqi, "Taste it and see if it tastes salty?"

Jiang Xing poured the soup into a bowl and handed it to Shen Mo, "Drink the soup."

Huo Zhiqi listened to Jiang Xi and did whatever she told him to do. Two days ago, when Jiang Xi invited him to dinner, she would always order some dishes for him while cooking and ask him if they suited him well.

Huo Zhiqi took a bite of the ribs and said, "It's delicious."

Jiang Xi smiled and took the cooked dishes out of the pot. "Okay, let's eat."

As he was carrying the dishes to the main room, he suddenly remembered something and said, "Zhiqi, come with me."

Then he said to Shen Mo, "Shen Mo, please bring the dishes to the table."

Shen Mo responded, and Huo Zhiqi's face changed. He knew that Sister Jiang should take him to talk.

When he first arrived at Uncle Wang's house, Aunt Wang and Grandma Wang came to talk to him.

Aunt Wang politely told him that this was not his home and asked him not to act naughty while he was staying at her house. Grandma Wang warned him not to touch anything in the house and would kick him out if he acted naughty.

Huo Zhiqi followed Jiang Xi with his head lowered, his two little kids were twisted on his back.

Jiang Liu suddenly stopped, and he also stopped, but never looked up.

Suddenly, something was hung on his shoulder. "Here, try it and see if the strap is too long. If it is, I will shorten it for you."

Seeing the military green crossbody bag on the waist, Huo Zhiqi looked up in surprise, and then stared at Jiang Xi blankly.

Jiang Xi saw that the length was suitable, then took out the clothes and tried them on Zhiqi. Sure enough, the salesperson picked the right size.

Huo Zhiqi stared at Jiang Xi as he took out things for him one by one, saying that he bought them for him, including a new towel, a new cup, new clothes, and a new schoolbag.

Looking at all these he felt like he was dreaming. When he was at Wang's house, he could only use the things that Wang Xiaotian and Wang Xiaobo no longer had, such as his schoolbag with holes in it, and even his pen, which was only the size of a fist that Wang Xiaotian and the others used to write with.

Wang Xiaotian and his friends don't like to study, so he can occasionally pick up an unused pen.

Huo Zhiqi was so spoiled that he held the things that Jiang Xing stuffed into his arms. When the child's arms could no longer hold them, Jiang Xing put them on the table.

Then she looked up and saw Zhiqi holding onto the things tightly, refusing to let go. She smiled and said, "Okay, these things of yours won't run away. After dinner, I'll take them to your room."

Huo Zhiqi felt his eyes welling up and he really wanted to cry, but as a man, how could he shed tears in front of a girl?

He lowered his head to hide his red eyes.

"Thank you...thank you...sister~"

"Why call me sister?" Jiang Xi was not satisfied with the title. She thought it was okay before, but now she inexplicably felt that she was a generation inferior to Shen Mo in terms of seniority.

Jiang Qi held his chin in his hand and thought, "You are now raised in my home, you should call me auntie, oh no, call me mom, from now on you will be my son."

Mom...Mom?

Huo Zhiqi's pupils shrank. He hadn't called his mother for many years.

In fact, Jiang Xi felt a little regretful as soon as she said the word "Mom". It would take time to adapt to a new family. It seemed a bit awkward for her to let a few-year-old kid call her "Mom" as soon as she arrived.

Jiang Xi said hurriedly, "You can still call me auntie, come in and have dinner."

Without even giving Zhiqi a chance to call for help, he turned around and went straight into the main room.

Everything was peaceful and harmonious here, and over at the Wang family's side, Old Mrs. Wang was also dancing with joy.

Of course she was happy that a big trouble was solved at home.

Every family didn't want to get into trouble. Before, the people in the compound were pushing and shoving about adopting Zhiqi, and finally pushed her Wang family. She didn't believe that there was such a family that was willing to pay to raise a child who had no blood relationship with them.

At first she would just do some superficial work, and wait, and then go to Xiao Shen's house in a few days to see how that sharp-tongued vixen treated the money loser harshly, and then she would make a big fuss about it to see if that vixen could stay in this family compound.

*

Huo Zhiqi was stunned again when he saw the small house with all the internal organs.

Jiang Xi helped him hang the clothes he bought in the small closet, saying, "This room doesn't look big, but I didn't expect it to be just right for a child like you."

Shen Mo was too tall and had a big build, so the room seemed inexplicably cramped when he entered. But now that she and Zhiqi were in the room, they didn't feel that way anymore.

It's really unfair to Shen Mo to let him sleep here these few days.

Jiang Xi, "Zhiqi, sit on the stool and try to see if the height is suitable."

Zhiqi sat in front of a small desk. He lived in the same room with the two brothers in Wang's house. There was also a desk in the room, but the two brothers did not allow him to use it.

Huo Zhiqi just stayed at home like this.

By the evening, Jiang Xi had come out of the bathroom after taking a shower, but Shen Mo had not returned yet.

Glance over there at the gate.

This was the first time that Shen Mo did not go home for dinner. I waited until nine o'clock, and it was almost time to go to bed, but Shen Mo still hadn't come back.

The lights in the small room where Huo Zhiqi slept were off.

Jiang Xiu sat in front of the dressing table, applying skin care products on her face and glancing at the time from time to time.

It's almost ten o'clock, why hasn't this man come back yet?

The two of them slept in the same bed, and she still had something to say to Shen Mo.

In fact, she was a little nervous. She had never met a man before, and she had only seen pigs run away, but had never experienced it herself.

On days when she had no nightlife, she went to bed early and got up early. When the time on the watch showed ten o'clock, she could not bear it any longer and fell asleep soon after lying on the bed.

She felt a shadow moving beside the bed in a daze. She smelled the familiar scent of soap and knew that Shen Mo was back. Her eyelids seemed to be glued shut and she couldn't open them. She muttered something and fell asleep.

The shadow beside the bed heard Jiang Xi mutter, "Shen Mo, you're back. It's so late. Go to bed."

Shen Mo stood beside the bed for a long time before he pulled back the quilt and crawled in, resting his head on the pillow that Jiang Xing had prepared for him.

Then he would lie on the edge of the bed like a wooden stake, and would fall off the bed if he turned over even a little.

Most of the space is reserved for Jiang Xi.

Soon, I heard the buzzing of mosquitoes in my ears.

Jiang Xi knew that he would have to go back to sleep, so he didn't draw the mosquito net when he lay down on the bed.

Shen Mo stood up when he heard the buzzing of mosquitoes, fanned himself to drive away the mosquitoes in the dark, and then put down the mosquito net.

After making sure that the mosquitoes would not disturb him, he lay back down in the same position.
