Chapter 349 Sending Ma Xiao'e Home for the New Year
With the news brought by Jiang Ling, Ma Xiao'e's mood finally improved.
She was holding Jiang Ling's things in her hand, and her face suddenly turned red when she thought about how she had hugged Jiang Ling just now.
He whispered "OK".
Seeing this, Su Ying also smiled and joked, "Hey, big brother, there are so many people in our family, why did you only buy food for Xiao E? Is there anything for Jiang Yue and me?"
Jiang Ling took one look at her and knew that Su Ying did it on purpose.
So he just smiled and said, "Yes, we have everything. I'll have someone buy some for you later."
"Then I don't want it, otherwise Sister Xiao'e will be jealous. Let's buy it ourselves." Su Ying looked at Ma Xiao'e and said with a smile.
"Yingying, even you are teasing me?"
After hearing this, Ma Xiao'e subconsciously raised her head and glanced at Jiang Ling secretly. Seeing that he was also looking at her, her cheeks suddenly turned redder with embarrassment.
Jiang Ling knew that Ma Xiao'e was shy, so he quickly changed the subject.
He took out three red envelopes from his pocket, all for Xiao Youyou.
"Grandpa, Mom and Dad called. These red envelopes are for Xiao Youyou. Keep them."
They learned that Su Ying was going to spend the New Year with Xiao Youyou and Jiang Yue in the army, so they sent money to Jiang Ling and asked him to give a red envelope to Xiao Youyou.
After all, this is Xiao Youyou’s first Chinese New Year, so how can she miss the red envelopes from home?
Su Ying was stunned. She didn't expect that even though she didn't go back home for the New Year, her family asked Jiang Ling to bring the red envelope for Youyou?
Just then, Jiang Yue came out holding Xiao Youyou.
"Then I'll thank you on behalf of Youyou."
Su Ying took Youyou from Jiang Yue's arms and introduced her with a smile, "Youyou, this is the red envelope given to you by your uncle, great-grandparents, and great-grandfather."
When Youyou saw the red envelope, her eyes lit up, she snatched it away and kept smiling at Jiang Ling.
"This little girl is such a money-grubber at such a young age?" Jiang Ling held Youyou in his arms, his eyes full of doting.
Jiang Yue was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when he saw that his daughter had no interest in anything but loved red envelopes so much.
"Who doesn't love money? My daughter is like me, so what if she's obsessed with money?"
Jiang Yue, a daughter slave, can't stand anyone saying anything bad about his daughter.
"Okay, I have something to do, so I'll leave first." Jiang Ling was relieved to see that Ma Xiao'e finally ate.
He handed Youyou to Jiang Yue and left to prepare for his trip to Qing City tomorrow.
The Chinese New Year is approaching. If we drive from here to Qing City, and the roads are icy, we naturally cannot drive too fast. I'm afraid it will take a whole day to get to Qing City.
In the past, when he met Ma Xiao'e's parents, he certainly couldn't go empty-handed, so he had to buy some things.
"Yingying, I can't finish this, you can have some." Ma Xiao'e watched Jiang Ling leave and handed the food in her hand to Su Ying.
She had just eaten a big bun and was not hungry now.
Thinking about what Su Ying had said just now, and seeing that Jiang Ling had bought a lot of things, she definitely couldn't finish them all by herself, so she simply gave them to Su Ying.
"I was lying to you. I don't like to eat these. Since big brother bought them for you, just keep them and eat them slowly." Su Ying said with an embarrassed smile when she saw Ma Xiao'e was so honest.
Seeing this, Ma Xiao'e had no choice but to take the food down and plan to eat it on the way.
After dinner, Ma Xiao'e packed up her things early. Her heart was excited at the thought of going home.
She didn't sleep much that night and got up very early the next day.
Su Ying knew that the journey would take a long time, so she also gave her some canned egg cakes and other things that she could eat on the way.
Also, she and Jiang Yue bought a lot of things for the Su family.
Since they couldn't go back, they asked Jiang Ling and Ma Xiao'e to take it back.
Jiang Ling parked the car and came over.
Seeing that Ma Xiao'e had packed everything, he said to Su Ying, "Then we'll leave."
Seeing this, Ma Xiao'e turned around and hugged Su Ying: "Yingying, I'm leaving now. See you in Beijing later."
"Okay, be careful on the road, don't drive too fast, and pay attention to safety." Su Ying reminded them.
Jiang Ling took the things from Ma Xiao'e's hand. Jiang Yue had already stuffed the other things into the car. He said to Su Ying, "Don't worry, we will get home safely."
Although Jiang Yue always bickered with Jiang Ling, he still helped him check the vehicle at the critical moment to make sure there were no safety hazards before he felt relieved to send them off.
Jiang Ling took Ma Xiao'e to the gate of the family compound, opened the car door and helped her get in, then he got in and sat in the driver's seat.
Although his car was driven by the guards before, he learned to drive when he first joined the army, so his driving skills are naturally much better than those of the guards.
"Sit tight, we're leaving now." Jiang Ling saw that Ma Xiao'e was not wearing a seat belt, so he helped her fasten it and then spoke.
Ma Xiao'e nodded and said "hmm".
Along the way, Jiang Ling drove seriously. The snowy mountain road was difficult to drive, so he didn't dare to be distracted and didn't say anything extra to Ma Xiaoe.
Ma Xiao'e saw that his head was covered in sweat and felt very nervous.
She didn't know that this snowy mountain road was so dangerous. The road surface was covered with ice, and some places around the mountain road were very narrow. If you were not careful, you would slide down with your car.
Now that she knew, she felt a little regretful.
If she had known the road was so dangerous, she should not have let Jiang Ling take her home.
Along the way, Jiang Yue's attention was all on the road conditions. Even though he was a good driver, he was still scared and broke out in a cold sweat.
After the car finally reached a safe and flat place, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Ma Xiao'e was so nervous that she was about to cry. She said to Jiang Ling with some self-blame, "You should have told me earlier that this road was so dangerous. It's all my fault. Otherwise, you wouldn't have taken such a dangerous road."
"Silly girl, why are you crying? It's not your fault. We're all fine. Besides, it's normal for you to miss home after being away for so long. Don't worry about my driving skills. Nothing will go wrong."
Jiang Ling didn't expect that Ma Xiao'e was frightened and crying just now. He reached out to wipe her tears and comforted her.
With Jiang Ling's comfort, Ma Xiao'e recovered quickly.
After passing the mountain road, the car became much easier to drive.
However, because there was still ice on the road, they couldn't drive too fast.
We were originally scheduled to arrive in Qing City around 7pm, but due to bad weather we had to stay in the neighboring city for a night.
It snowed heavily at night and Jiang Ling didn't dare to drive back. He had to find a guesthouse to stay for the night and continue his journey the next day.
