Chapter 206 Do you miss Dad?
Juanjuan held the little rabbit and lay beside Si Jinchen, waiting for Si Ning to tell them a story.
Si Ning sat on a chair beside the bed, pulled up the corners of the quilt for them, and opened a small picture book under the bedside lamp.
Her voice was clear yet gentle, making people feel comfortable listening to it.
After the two children fell asleep, she closed the book, turned off the bedside lamp, and tiptoed out of the room.
"Brother, are you asleep?" Juanjuan waited until the door was closed, then turned around and said in a low voice.
"No, why haven't you slept yet?" Si Jinchen turned sideways to the direction where she was sleeping.
"I can't sleep!" Juanjuan said softly.
Si Jinchen felt a little strange. He couldn't sleep because he usually read before going to bed. Today, he didn't read and felt like something was missing.
But Juanjuan is not a child who can’t sleep!
"What's wrong?"
"Brother, are my second uncle and uncle looking for someone very powerful?" Juanjuan asked in a low voice, holding the little rabbit and moving closer to him.
"It should be, but I don't know who they are looking for." Si Jinchen didn't know why she asked this.
"Oh! Let's go to sleep!" Juanjuan lay down obediently and closed his eyes.
Si Jinchen smiled and shook his head, then lay down and closed his eyes.
Si Ning has been accompanying Mrs. Pitt and their two children to travel in Beiyang City these days.
Juanjuan and Si Jinchen both have to go to classes, and can only go out to play during breaks.
"Mrs. Miao, this milk tea is so delicious. I haven't tasted anything so delicious in the city over there."
Pete wants to drink a bowl every day, otherwise he always feels like something is missing.
"If you like, you can come to my house every day to drink. We will leave some for you every day. When the shop is sorted out in a few days, we will move it inside to sell."
"Then it won't be so crowded, and you won't have to queue up here to buy." Si Ning looked at her with a smile.
"It's a pity that we don't stay here for long. If we leave, we may never be able to drink it again." Mrs. Pitt said with some regret.
"Oh, and the lipstick you gave me. The color is amazing. There's also a raincoat, rain boots, an umbrella, and, oh, a bamboo lantern."
The more she spoke, the more excited she became. Coming to Beiyang City allowed her to see many things that she couldn't see anywhere else.
I wonder if they can bring some back this time. If they can bring them back to their country, they will definitely sell for a very high price.
I just don't know if they are willing to sell it to me.
And she really liked the clothes Si Ning was wearing.
"No matter when you come, we welcome you." Si Ning said as he carefully observed the changes in her expression.
After two days of contact, she could clearly feel Mrs. Pitt's love for these things.
When the time is right, I'll see if I can get some useful information out of them.
Jerry and Lillian also liked the things here. Many of the things were new to them and they found them novel.
After sending them back to the hotel, Si Ning went straight back to the Governor's Mansion.
Juanjuan saw her coming back and ran over with cotton slippers in her arms: "Auntie, change your shoes."
"Auntie, have some water." Si Jinchen also came over with a cup of warm water.
"My two babies are so thoughtful." The tiredness on Si Ning's face disappeared, and he reached out and hugged Juanjuan and Si Jinchen in his arms.
She kissed their little faces, leaving red lipstick marks.
Juanjuan smiled, revealing her small white teeth, and Si Jinchen felt a little embarrassed.
Madam Si looked at the three of them and smiled: "You must be tired!"
"Not bad." Si Ning was wearing flat shoes now, so he didn't feel too tired.
She pulled the two children to sit next to her and asked, "Have you finished your homework for today?"
"It's done!" Juanjuan answered seriously.
The Si family and her two teachers now give her free rein in her studies. As long as she can read, it doesn't matter whether anyone can understand what she writes or not.
Learning martial arts is just to keep her body healthy, and she doesn't really need to master all kinds of martial arts.
He has to be much stricter with Si Jinchen and won't be allowed to slack off at all.
"Why are you the only ones at home today?" Siming's voice came from outside.
Juanjuan immediately jumped off the sofa and ran towards him: "Dad, Dad!"
Si Jinchen also had a happy look on his face and ran over not much slower than Juanjuan.
"Wow! After a few days of not seeing you, our Juanjuan is beautiful again." Siming bent down and picked her up.
Juanjuan hugged his neck and rubbed his shoulder: "Juanjuan misses daddy."
"Dad misses Juanjuan and Achen too." Si Ming touched Si Jinchen's head.
He squatted down and let go of Juanjuan, then looked at Si Jinchen with a smile: "Do you miss Dad?"
"I do." Si Jinchen reached out and hugged Si Ming.
Siming picked up both children, walked to the sofa and sat down, letting the two children sit on his lap, one on the left and one on the right.
"Mom, Big Sister, where are A Tian and Miao Jiu?"
"The Pete family came and brought an X-ray machine. A-Tian has been accompanying him in the hospital for the past few days to adjust."
"Xiaojiu is dealing with the people fleeing outside the city. The situation outside is unstable now, so no one is let in." Madam Si replied.
Siming didn't expect that a lot of things would happen while he was away for a few days.
"A Ming, what was the result of your trip this time?" Si Ning looked at him and asked.
"We have found a suitable place, large enough to build a large arsenal." Siming simply repeated the result.
"It's good that Pete is here. I can ask him for help with something." He also wanted to put the machine tool on the agenda.
"He can't leave for a while. When A Tian and the others come back in the evening, you can discuss it and make a decision." Old Madam Si looked at his tired face.
"I'll go take a shower first." Si Ming put the two children on the sofa.
"It's still early, sleep for a while before coming down to eat!" Mrs. Si saw that he had heavy dark circles under his eyes.
"Dad, Juanjuan will tell you a story." Juanjuan took his hand and looked at him.
Siming wanted to say no, but when he looked down and saw how well-behaved she was, he changed his words to: "Okay."
"Once Ah Ming comes back, we all have to stand aside." Si Ning looked at the two little followers following Si Ming upstairs, smiled helplessly and shook his head.
"You'll know when the baby in your belly is born." Mrs. Si said with a smile.
"I'm afraid the three babies in my belly will be little naughty kids in the future. Now I just hope they won't be like Xiaojiu." Si Ning feels a headache when she thinks that the baby in her belly will have the same personality as Miao Jiu.
It’s better not to think about it. Let them stay in her belly for a few months. At least she can have some peace and quiet for a few months.
