In the yard, Rongrong clasped her little hands behind her back and said to the black girl seriously: "If you dare to run out by yourself again, I won't be with you!"
Xiaolan smiled and said: "Miss, the black girl is a dog, she can't understand what you are saying."
Rongrong tilted her head and thought for a while, then said: "Black girl can understand, but she just can't speak..."
The sound of a car engine sounded outside the courtyard, and the black girl immediately ran out of the door as if struck by an arrow, wagging her tail to welcome her master home.
Rongrong also followed, cheering with joy: "Dad!"
Jiang Xinyu handed the briefcase to Xiaolan, bent down and picked up his daughter, and said, "Isn't it cold outside?"
"It's not cold, I'm playing with the black girl."
"Oh, what are you playing?"
"The black girl disobeyed and ran out..."
"Close the courtyard door tightly next time so it can't escape."
"Um."
"Where's mom?"
"Mom is tired and needs to take a rest."
"oh……"
While they were talking, the father and daughter entered the house.
There was a letter on the coffee table. Hattori Mina sat back on the sofa and gently beat her waist with her hands. Seeing Jiang Xinyu come in with Rongrong in his arms, he smiled and said, "Xinyu, you came back early today."
"If you have nothing to do, come back early...what's wrong with your waist?" Jiang Xinyu put down Rongrong and asked with concern.
"It's okay, just take a rest and you'll be fine."
"There's nothing wrong with a pregnant woman. It's better to go to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow."
"Xinyu, this pregnancy is different from last time. I feel... like it's a boy."
"What's the difference?"
"When I was pregnant with Rongrong, I liked eating sour foods, but this time it's different. I especially like eating spicy foods."
Jiang Xinyu smiled and said: "People say that women are sour and spicy, but you have changed them."
Hattori Mina pouted and said: "What kind of sour girl is not allowed at all, at least not for me!"
Although Rongrong didn't understand what her parents were saying, she still stood by to cheer her mother on, pouting and saying, "Mom is right, but it's not true!"
Jiang Xinyu looked at Hattori Mina, then at his daughter, and laughed and said, "Look at you two, your pouts are exactly the same!"
Hattori Mina hugged her daughter, held her gently and lovingly, and said proudly: "Of course my child is just like me!"
"Whose letter is it from?" Jiang Xinyu glanced at the envelope on the coffee table.
Hattori Mina said: "Tongtong."
Hearing the word Tongtong, Rongrong immediately opened her eyes and said, "Mom, where is my aunt?"
Hattori Mina stood up, held Rongrong's hand, and said: "Let's go to the kitchen with mom to see what we will eat tonight!"
"I want to eat custard!"
"Okay, let Aunt Lan steam the egg custard for you."
Jiang Xinyu looked at it and saw that the seal of the envelope was intact and said, "Mina, why didn't you open it and take a look?"
Hattori Mina smiled and said: "How can I open the letter Tongtong wrote to you privately?"
After saying this, she led Rongrong out of the living room, saying she was going to the kitchen, but in fact she was going to provide Jiang Xinyu with a quiet environment.
Jiang Xinyu picked up the envelope and couldn't help but laugh. No wonder Mei Nai didn't open it and read it. The envelope was clearly written: Jiang Xinyu personally opens it!
Especially the word "personally", which is made bold and black with a pen, is obviously a reminder to others not to peek at this letter!
Compared with the solemnity of the envelope, the content of the letter is extremely simple, with only a thin page of letter paper.
In the letter, Tong Tong not only reported that he was safe, but also asked about Jiang Xinyu's current situation. He also sent greetings to Hattori Mina, and finally asked to send her some recent photos of Rongrong.
At the end of the letter, I wrote four words, I miss you!
The word "you" is also bolded and blackened. This seemingly childish expression truly reflects Tongtong's inner feelings.
Jiang Xinyu put the letter into an envelope, threw it on the coffee table, leaned back on the sofa, and murmured to himself: "Just think of it as a dream..."
The food was served quickly, including pan-fried yellow croaker, fried meat with shredded green peppers and potatoes, a bowl of clam seafood soup, and steamed egg custard for Rongrong.
Jiang Xinyu glanced at the clock on the wall and saw that it was just five o'clock. He stood up and sat at the dining table and said to Hattori Mina: "It seems to be the first time that I have had dinner so early."
Hattori Mina put Rongrong on the chair, sat down herself, and said, "It's rare that you come back early. It would be nice if you could eat at this time every day."
"Why?" Jiang Xinyu picked up the spoon and took a sip of the seafood soup.
"The doctor said it's better to have dinner earlier and go for a walk often, which is good for the fetus."
"Oh... let's do this. From now on, you and Rongrong will have dinner first, you don't have to wait for me."
"How can that be done? There are three people in the family. Without you, half of them are missing."
Rongrong raised her little face and said, "I want to wait for dad to have dinner together!"
Jiang Xinyu smiled and touched his daughter's pigtails, and said, "I will come back as early as possible in the future and go for a walk with you!"
Hattori Mina handed over the rice bowl, sighed softly, and said, "I don't expect you to come back early. I'll be glad you get home at a normal time!"
Jiang Xinyu was speechless. It was really difficult for him to get home on time. Not to mention that he was far away. He would definitely have to come back late again when meeting the special correspondent at six o'clock tomorrow night.
"Ring ring ring ring!"
The phone on the table rang.
Jiang Xinyu put down his chopsticks, stood up and walked over, picked up the phone and said, "Hello, who is this?"
"Xinyu, what are you busy with?" Qiao Muchai's voice came on the phone.
"Oh, I'm eating right now."
"Have you eaten all? What time is it..."
"I came back early today, so I ate early. Stationmaster, do you have anything?"
"It's nothing. Someone gave me a bottle of good wine. I was just planning to have a few drinks with you. Unexpectedly, the call was late... Well, I'll make a reservation in advance this time, tomorrow night!"
Jiang Xinyu hurriedly said: "Webmaster, I can't do it tomorrow. I made an appointment with a friend early in the morning..."
"Oh...Okay then, let's make an appointment another day!"
"OK."
Qiao Mu just hung up the phone, picked up a newspaper on the coffee table, and flipped through it casually.
The main reason why he went to have dinner with Jiang Xinyu was to establish a relationship. Qiao Muchai's office was moved to the west building, and sometimes he wouldn't see anyone in the east building for ten and a half months.
Qiao Muchai's idea is very simple. Even with the most trustworthy subordinates, they need to communicate frequently. Otherwise, over time, Wu Jingrong won't win over them.
Mrs. Qiao walked in and said, "I asked my servants to prepare six dishes. Can you please listen to it? One is vinegar-based pork ribs..."
Qiao Mucai said: "Don't prepare."
"What's wrong?"
"Xinyu is having dinner and the phone call was late."
"You don't have time tomorrow?"
"He has an appointment with friends tomorrow."
"You are just too honest!"
"Why do you say that?"
"How can it be such a coincidence? I don't have time tonight, and I don't have time tomorrow night. Let me tell you, why don't you come down and follow the wind and stick to Wu Jingrong!"
"Nonsense, Xinyu is not that kind of person!"
"Huh, don't forget, people's hearts are separated from each other! Didn't you say it yourself, trust has its limits..."
