Chen Ji nodded. "What's this?"
"Since I was on vacation and had nothing to do, I went to help Wang Xiuxiu renovate her house."
Lu Shishen said.
Seeing that he was capable, Wang Xiuxiu transferred two workers to do other things with her.
Lu Shishen is very tired.
These past two days on the construction site have been even harder than his time as a recruit.
Working people really do work hard.
However, the results were remarkable; Wang Xiuxiu even started offering him water voluntarily.
Lu Shishen smiled as he thought about it, revealing a set of bright white teeth.
Xiao Bao had been staring at him ever since he appeared, probably out of curiosity about what kind of creature it was.
Seeing Lu Shishen smile, she thought he was smiling at her, so she also gave a big smile.
Just as they were about to leave, Lu Shishen suddenly turned back and asked, "Commander, it rained yesterday and we had to cancel. When are we going again?"
Chen Ji thought for a moment, "It will be a while. She's been busy lately."
As soon as the father and daughter entered the courtyard, Xiao Bao suddenly shouted, but Chen Ji quickly stopped her.
"Mommy's busy, can Daddy play with you instead?"
He took the baby out of the stroller.
As soon as Xiao Bao was born, he squatted in the corner of the yard, staring at the rows of paper strips that had already climbed the wall.
As they looked at it, they even reached out their little hands to pluck the tender buds on it.
......
Wang Xiuxiu was originally going back with Lu Shishen, but as she passed by the shop, Huan Yuanliang called out to her.
"I remember you have a boy in your family too, right?"
Wang Xiuxiu nodded, "Yes, it's my son."
Huan Yuanliang, who had been looking anxious, seemed to have grasped at a lifeline when he heard this. "Do me a favor. My daughter is sick, and I need to go out of town."
Huan Molin usually went with him.
Because of this, Weiwei had a big argument with him on the phone and even brought up divorce.
Huan Yuanliang had no choice but to keep Huan Molin behind.
However, he was worried about leaving the nanny with the child and wanted to ask someone he knew for help.
Wang Xiuxiu blinked. "Go ahead."
Huan Yuanliang glanced back at the shop. "You've met my son, Mo Lin. Could he stay with your son for a few days?"
Huan Molin is already twelve years old, and he is still taller than other children his age.
But he never spoke.
Wang Xiuxiu was in a dilemma, after all, it was not good to bring outsiders into the compound.
But she still asked, "When are you leaving?"
"Now."
Huan Yuanliang glanced at his watch. "It's alright. If it's inconvenient, could you take him home for me? There's a nanny there who will look after him. Thank you."
It's 10 p.m.
Wang Xiuxiu looked at the child sitting opposite her, who was not saying a word, and sighed deeply.
"Morin, aren't you going home?"
The boy slowly raised his eyes, his blue eyes filled with confusion, and he stubbornly bit his lip.
"Shall I take you home?"
Even though Wang Xiuxiu was angry, she could only grit her teeth and say softly, "Your father went to see your sister. She's sick. He'll be back after he's done."
It would have been better if he hadn't said that, because as soon as he did, Huan Molin's eyes immediately reddened.
The little child said coldly, "I don't have a sister, she's not my sister!"
Wang Xiuxiu patiently explained, "Although she and you were not born to the same mother, you share the same father and are related by blood. She is your half-sister."
She couldn't help but want to complain.
Huan Yuanliang's business seems quite successful, but why doesn't he care about his children's education at all?
Huan Molin's aloof personality is clearly the result of being neglected and unloved for many years.
Huan Molin's tears fell "plop plop".
He is of mixed race, with fair skin and long eyelashes. When he cries, he exudes a sense of heartbreak.
Wang Xiuxiu was utterly defeated.
"Molin, don't cry, I won't say anything more, Auntie was wrong."
She frantically searched for paper.
After finally finding it and handing it to Huan Molin, she asked in frustration, "So what do you want to do? Just stay in the shop and keep watch? It's cold now, and there are no beds or blankets in the shop. You'll catch a cold."
Huan Molin raised his head, his eyes shining: "I want to find Sister Xu."
Wang Xiuxiu didn't react for a moment, "It's already ten o'clock, let's not worry about Sister Xu and Sister Ma, shall we go look for them tomorrow? I don't know your Xu..."
Her words abruptly stopped, and her eyes widened. "Sister Xu?"
Huan Molin nodded firmly, "Yes, Aunt Wang, can you take me to her house? I want to sleep at her house."
Although the child is young, he has his own ideas.
Wang Xiuxiu tried to persuade him for a long time, but found it was no use at all.
If he doesn't see Xu Ruantang tonight, he'll probably sit here all night.
"What a stubborn little mule!"
Wang Xiuxiu held the phone in her hand and mumbled softly in a volume that Huan Molin couldn't hear.
She called the gatehouse, and the old man there slowly knocked on Xu Ruantang's door.
Xu Ruantang did not sleep.
After dinner, she went into the study, while Chen Ji stayed with Xiao Bao to sleep.
Hearing the sound, Xu Ruantang opened the study door and found Chen Jiye walking downstairs.
"Sir, what's the matter so late?"
"It's Xiao Wang from next door, who lives far away, calling Xiao Xu..."
After the old man finished speaking, he put on his coat and left.
Xu Ruantang scratched her head, "Our boss's child, that child's personality is different from that of ordinary children."
She glanced at Chen Ji and said, "Kids have their own personalities, that's normal. You go upstairs to sleep first, and I'll tidy up the downstairs bed so he can sleep on our first floor tonight."
Chen Ji certainly remembered that child.
He also kissed Xu Ruantang.
"I'll take care of it, you can continue with your work."
Xu Ruantang smiled and said, "I'm not busy anymore. It's so late. I'll go upstairs to sleep after I've settled him in."
"It's all Sister Xiuxiu's fault. She insisted on taking on this job. Oh really, when she comes, I'll definitely have a good talk with her."
Xu Ruantang kept talking.
Chen Ji was a man of action; while changing the sheets, he glanced at her in between glances.
"Then let Wang Xiuxiu take her back to her home."
Xu Ruantang: "......"
"No way, didn't you hear what the old man said? They've been spending the whole afternoon in the shop."
She remembered the first time she met Huan Molin, and how he tugged at her clothes.
Those blue eyes were filled with complete trust in her.
Xu Ruantang sighed and reached out to help Chen Ji change the bed sheet. "This child has had a hard life. I've been to his house. Our boss has another daughter, who was born to his current wife."
“Our boss’s current wife is clearly not someone to be trifled with, and her entire family of relatives are even more awful.”
"The child hasn't gone astray, he's just a bit stubborn, which is already quite an achievement."
Chen Ji listened to Xu Ruantang's rambling and didn't refute her anymore.
After putting on the duvet cover, he reached out and ruffled Xu Ruantang's hair. "I'll go upstairs and keep an eye on Xiaobao. Call me if anything happens. Come up and go to sleep."
Xu Ruantang smiled obsequiously, "Okay!"
