Chapter 6: Returning Home
Chapter 6: Coming Home
The elevator reaches the familiar floor. Familiar aisles. Familiar gates. None of the qiē has changed. Qiao Xinwei took out the key that Jiang Hao gave her. As soon as the door opens. She was stunned for a moment. It's completely different inside. If she hadn't opened the door herself. She thought she was at the wrong door.
"This?? Is this where Jiang Hao lives?"
The driver probably also knew the doubts in Qiao Xinwei's heart. He said, "Yes, that's right. It's been renovated."
I can't wait to go in and see a fresh. Take off your shoes. He ran in with only his socks on. Shouted happily: "Wow. It's so beautiful here. Mom. Will we stay here in the future?"
"Yes. yes." Qiao Xinwei walked in slowly. When she came here to look for Jiang Hao that night. Light was in a hurry to beg him to save him, but he didn't pay attention to it. It's a big change.
It used to be a European-style local tyrant. Gorgeous and delicate but not practical. A lot of the designs are just for the sake of good looks. Duplex structure. On the second floor, there is a separate dance practice room. Useless. Renovation at the time. It was Jiang Hao who came according to Xiao Tianai's preferences. This is something she learned later.
And now. As soon as you enter the door, your eyes are full of brightness. Warmth is revealed everywhere. A natural and fresh pastoral breeze blows in the face. A large wedding photo hangs in the center on the wall of the living room. The feeling of home is especially strong.
Qiao Xinwei stared at the photo in amazement. Oh, my God. The photo turned out to be here.
This photo was taken in the snow. Jiang Hao wears a military uniform like a valiant warrior. Shielding her from the wind and snow for her delicate. She took a fancy to this one at first sight when she chose the photo. Artistic conception beauty. Flower face beauty.
I also saw the big picture in Xi. Jumping and jumping. And clapped his hands." Wow. Mommy is so beautiful. My mom is the prettiest mom in the world."
Qiao Xinwei was a little embarrassed. Embarrassed to look at the driver. The driver smiled innocently. Didn't say anything. Help them carry their luggage directly into the house.
"Master. Thank you. That one?? Do you drink tea?" Qiao Xinwei asked embarrassedly. She had never set foot in Jiang Hao's work circle before. I only know that Jiang Hao has a guard named Xiao Fang. I don't know anything else. This driver is the eldest brother. She was also seeing her for the first time.
The driver smiled and declined. Say, "Miss Joe. I still have to pick up Chief Jiang. I won't stay any longer. Rest for now."
This title is a bit deliberate. She said she wasn't Mrs. Jiang. Then we can only call her "Miss Joe".
Qiao Xinwei nodded awkwardly. Do you walk slowly?? Xi Bao. Say goodbye to the driver's uncle."
Zai Xi quickly ran over. He waved his little hand and said, "Thank you, Uncle Driver. Goodbye, Uncle Driver."
"Goodbye." The driver is gone. Gently closed the door.
Qiao Xinwei looked around. Follow Zai Xi and look around. The renovated house looks bigger. And her wedding photos with Jiang Hao. Small and small photos are everywhere.
It's heated now. The house is as warm as spring. The living room, kitchen, study, game room, and guest rooms are all on the first floor. The bedroom was changed to the second floor.
She just wanted to walk up. The doorbell rang. Come to think of it. It should be a small square.
"Xi Bao. I'm going to call Uncle Xiao Fang later. Remember."
"Yes. Okay."
Qiao Xinwei glanced at it from the cat's eye. See is the small side. Hurry up and open the door." Xiao Fang. Hello."
The small side is still the same. Laughs like a big boy. See Qiao Xinwei and Zaixi. He was really happy. Happy for Jiang Hao." Sister-in-law. Hello. Long time no see."
Qiao Xinwei corrected uncomfortably. Am I not??"
"You're Xi Bao, aren't you?" Xiao Fang saw it in Xi. He raised the bag in his hand." Look what I've got for you."
Yu Xi blinked his big round eyes. smiled and said, "Uncle Xiao Fang is good."
"Huh. Really good. I'm hungry. Come and eat."
Qiao Xinwei wanted to interject several times to correct the salutation. All of them didn't work out.
Xiao Fang took out the food while taking it out. While saying, "Sister-in-law, you're back. You don't know. How miserable the chief was some time ago. Stomach bleeding. Gastric perforation. I went to the hospital after I fell into a coma in the office."
"When?" Qiao Xinwei was shocked.
"Just before the case goes to trial. He was discharged from the hospital after surgery and was in court a few days later. He kept clamoring to go to Linzhou to find you. But at that time, I didn't know where you were in Linzhou. Makes the doctors half angry. In the end, it was really not good for the body. He's just going to give up."
Qiao Xinwei said in a low voice, "Yes. He didn't tell me."
"Huh. I want to know that the chief didn't tell you. In fact, all these years. The chief's heart was very bitter. Others don't know. I know best when I'm around him all day. What impressed me the most was the day Xiao Tianai was arrested. Xiao Tianai got into the police car a second ago. He put on your wedding ring in a second. He also said that he could finally wear it openly. Sister-in-law. Eat it. It's cold and cools quickly. If you don't eat it, it'll be cold."
"Okay. Thank you. Have you eaten it?"
"I've already eaten it. You eat."
"Xiao Fang. I heard Jiang Hao say that you will get married at the end of the year."
"Yes. I'm not too young. I'm in a hurry."
"Huh. Pretty good. Congratulations."
"Thank you, sister-in-law. You must come and drink the wedding wine on that day."
Qiao Xinwei pursed her lips and smiled slightly.
"Xi Bao. Your dad specifically asked me to order a big chicken leg. Is it delicious?"
I took a bite of it. Then he nodded vigorously." It's delicious."
Xiao Fang wrapped another piece of crispy roast duck. Sandwich with shredded cucumber and sweet noodle sauce." This is a famous dish in the capital. To give. Open your mouth wide and bite a big bite."
In the past in the morning. Open your mouth and eat the roast duck meat in your mouth. I haven't finished eating. And he cried out with joy." Wow. It's delicious. It's better than chicken thighs. Wrap a piece in my mom too."
Qiao Xinwei hurriedly said, "Mom will come by herself. Xi Bao will come by himself."
Xiao Fang looked at Zaixi. He said with emotion: "It's all so big. Sister-in-law. You must have had a hard time all these years. Ay. You are working hard with children. The chief is bitter in heart. He is full of guilt for you. I miss you again. Several times I saw him sitting there in a daze. The cigarette butts were so hot that he didn't move. I know he's definitely thinking about you again."
Qiao Xinwei felt faintly uncomfortable in her heart. She no longer pursues what Xiao Fang called her. Thinking about Jiang Hao instead. Jiang Hao was saving the child. But I can't tell that I just had surgery.
"Jiang Hao's stomach problem. Is it okay now?" She asked. This month in Linzhou. I don't see it."
"Probably. The surgery was successful. But the doctor said so. You still have to take care of it yourself. Ahh The chief even hid it from his family. said that he didn't want the second elder to worry. The surgery was all signed by himself. If you don't tell you, you definitely don't want to worry about it. The chief sees you more than anything else."
Qiao Xinwei shook her head with a wry smile.
"Don't believe it. The chiefs are going to resign."
"What." Qiao Xinwei was surprised. Suddenly raised his head and looked at Xiao Fang.
"yes. The resignation letter is all written. It's just that he resigned as soon as he sat in this position. I'm afraid that my superiors won't agree. He came back this time to resign. He didn't tell you."
Qiao Xinwei shook his head. He didn't tell me anything."
Xiao Fang looked at the time. Said: "Sister-in-law. Xi Bao. You eat slowly. I still have something. Gotta go first."
"Good. You walk slowly."
After eating. Simply cleaned up. Zai Xi said that he wanted to go upstairs to have a look. She pulled Zaixi up the stairs slowly. I saw the wall of the staircase. Pictures of them hung from bottom to top. There are wedding photos. There are also life photos. A lot of the photos were taken when she didn't know it. There is a side face. There is also a back.
The master bedroom is twice as large as before. Half of the walls are floor-to-ceiling windows. Excellent lighting. Feet on a soft carpet. The foot feeling is particularly good. Off-white wallpaper embossed with gold wire. The tone of the entire master bedroom becomes warm and bright.
The second bedroom is the baby's room. White and light green are the main tones. Cartoon stickers on the walls and wardrobes. There are all kinds of cute little toys on the desk. The cot is the styling of a car. Cotton bedding is soft and warm to the touch.
As soon as Zai Xi pushed open the door and ran in. It can be seen from the glowing eyes of the child. He loves his own little world.
"Mom. I love it here. I really like it. Will we really stay here in the future?"
Qiao Xinwei looked at the child's expectant gaze. "Yes," he said firmly. Doubt it anymore. We'll stay here in the future."
"Wow. That's great. Daddy is amazing." Jae-hyun jumped on the bed. Rolling around on a car-shaped bed. They won't come down.
It can make children sleep consciously. It's also a good thing.
Qiao Xinwei sat on the edge of the bed. Turn your head to look outside. The small balcony outside the bedroom was utilized. Transformed into an indoor mini garden. All kinds of flowers and plants. It's just that a lot of flowers and leaves have withered. Pity.
"Mom. I'm going to sleep."
"Okay."
"Mom. Daddy, you're going to wake me up when you come back."
"Okay."
"Mom. I close my eyes."
"Okay." Qiao Xinwei smiled and shook her head. A child's happiness cannot be deceived. I like it so much here. She was also pleased.
Soon. I fell asleep in the morning. Qiao Xinwei covered him with a quilt. Then he got up and walked out.
Stand at the door. All the qiē in front of her eyes was brand new. She never thought that Jiang Hao would be able to redecorate the house for her words. That's a lot of money.
She walked into the master bedroom again. Their wedding photos are also hung here. They were happy then. You can see it from the photos.
There are a lot of clothes in the closet. Her. His.
Qiao Xinwei brushed his bare hands over his shoulders in turn. Those expensive clothes were all bought for her by Jiang Hao before. The past is vivid. There have been injuries between them. There have been sweetness, too.
She sits on a dresser. Sudden discovery. I already have fine lines at the corners of my eyes in the mirror. These four years. She's having a hard time. She admitted.
On the countertop are the best skincare products and cosmetics. Look at the date turned out to be fresh.
She gently opened the drawer again. It's full of skincare and cosmetics. is expired. Jiang Hao actually prepares these for her every year.
Her eyes moistened. She knew it. It's easier to be soft-hearted when you come back here. She knew it.
