"Oh my, Dad’s big girl, you finally ca back, I missed you so much." Jiang Changhai ca out, saw his daughter, and happily hugged her tightly.
Su Wanyu ca out a mont later, saw the father and daughter hugging as if they hadn’t seen each other in centuries, and said dismissively, "Alright, alright, hurry inside, or else the neighbors might laugh at us."
"Alright! Daughter, co on, your mom has spoken, let’s go inside."
Jiang Changhai didn’t argue, he laughed and picked up his daughter, put her on his shoulder, walked inside, and then gently placed her on the sofa, "Co on, daughter, have so waterlon. Did your aunt’s friend bring you back?"
"Yeah, Dad, my aunt said you’re working too hard on your business, so she wouldn’t let you make the trip to pick up." Jiang Mianmian nodded while eating waterlon.
"Ah, my sister really knows how to care for others." Jiang Changhai crossed his legs, leaned back on the sofa, and said cheerfully as he looked at his eldest daughter.
With Jiang Mianmian back, Jiang Changhai and Su Wanyu were both in a particularly good mood, and when they were in a good mood, they wanted to eat out.
"Daughter, to celebrate your hocoming, we’re not cooking today, your mom and I will take you out to eat." Jiang Changhai looked at his wife and daughter, raised his eyebrows, and said with a big smile.
"Great, I second that, I second that." Jiang Mianmian imdiately raised her hand in agreent.
"I agree too, Brother Hai, let’s go then." Su Wanyu said excitedly.
The three of them quickly agreed and headed straight for the state-run restaurant not far from their ho.
After the al, at Jiang Mianmian’s strong request, the family of three went to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative to buy ice cream, eating as they walked.
Su Wanyu looked at Jiang Mianmian, who was squinting with delight while eating ice cream, and asked with a smile, "Daughter, you didn’t overindulge in Xiangcheng, did you?"
Hearing this, Jiang Mianmian paused in her ice-cream-eating and imdiately defended herself, "Of course not, Mom, you don’t know how well-behaved I was. Over in Xiangcheng, the ice cream is so good, and I only had one each ti."
"Mm, that’s more like it." Su Wanyu nodded in satisfaction after hearing this.
Jiang Mianmian saw her mom wasn’t questioning further and secretly let out a sigh of relief.
In Xiangcheng, she did only eat one each day, it was just that ’that one’ was a ’little bit’ bigger than the ice creams inland.
The family returned ho satisfied, and after returning to her room, Jiang Mianmian took out her junior year textbooks. She had promised Brother Yu to skip a grade to senior year, so starting today, she needed to seriously study the junior year curriculum.
The next day, Su Wanyu went to work, and Jiang Changhai had sothing to do in the county and needed Old Niu’s help. He saw Jiang Mianmian studying earnestly at ho and asked with a smile, "Daughter, Dad’s going back to the county, do you want to visit your little friends?"
Jiang Mianmian’s face lit up with surprise upon hearing this, "Dad, I want to go; I haven’t seen Sister Lanlan and Wang Li in ages."
"I figured you’d want to go. Go pack up, bring your sun hat, and we’ll head out in a bit," Jiang Changhai advised thoughtfully.
Jiang Mianmian quickly got ready and went to the bus station with her dad.
After a bus ride of over half an hour, they arrived in the county. Jiang Changhai first took Jiang Mianmian to Li Lan’s ho.
"Ah, Changhai and Mianmian are back." Aunt Li exclaid, both happy and surprised to see them.
"Hello, Grandma Li, is Sister Lanlan at ho?" Jiang Mianmian asked sweetly.
"She’s ho, Lanlan, Mianmian’s here to play with you." Aunt Li said and then called inside the house.
