Xuanxuan glared, cheeks puffed up in anger. "Aunt Kang’s driving is really good, that’s what Little Sister Guoguo said, do you mean Little Sister Guoguo was lying?"
"I didn’t say that."
Of course he believed Little Sister Guoguo, but it was snowing hard right now. If Aunt Kang drove over, it would definitely be more dangerous than usual.
But if Aunt Kang brought Little Sister Guoguo and the others over by bus, then he didn’t have to worry so much.
Xuanxuan was still angrily glaring at Xi Chenyu. She even gave a heavy "hmph," folded her arms, turned her head away, and didn’t want to bother with Xi Chenyu anymore.
"I’m just worried about Little Sister Guoguo and Aunt Kang, and Bun and Tangyuan’s safety."
Xi Chenyu’s little face was tense. He explained to Xuanxuan that he wasn’t worried about being misunderstood; he just didn’t want Xuanxuan to be unhappy. After all, today was Xuanxuan’s birthday. If the birthday girl was in a bad mood, then the birthday wouldn’t mean much.
Besides, Xuanxuan was angry because of what he’d said, so it was his responsibility to explain things clearly.
"I’ll go call Little Sister Guoguo’s house and ask."
Xuanxuan didn’t look at Xi Chenyu. She piped up in her childish voice, then turned and went "da-da-da" running back to the living room.
Just then, the landline rang. Not long after, Xuanxuan happily came back to Xi Chenyu’s side, grinning as she said, "Xi Chenyu, Little Sister Guoguo’s here! She’s right at our compound gate now, and Aunt Kang drove her over!"
"A call from the uncle on duty at the main gate?"
Xi Chenyu asked Xuanxuan.
"Yeah." Xuanxuan nodded, her little face lit up with a big smile. "I even heard Aunt Kang’s voice!"
"Then they should be at your courtyard gate very soon."
Hearing Xi Chenyu say that, Xuanxuan suggested, "How about we go wait at the courtyard gate?"
"You want shots and Medicine?"
There was wind and snow outside; it was freezing out there!
Xuanxuan shook her head and waved her little hands again and again. "No, no, I don’t want shots or Medicine."
"Since you don’t want shots and Medicine, then you stay here and wait. I’ll go to your courtyard gate and take a look."
As Xi Chenyu spoke, he took a mask out of the pocket of his padded jacket and put it on, then pulled on his knit gloves. Next he went back into the living room, grabbed his earflap hat and pulled it over his head, and finally picked up his scarf and wrapped it around himself. Then he lifted his short little legs and headed out of the living room.
"I can dress up like you too!"
Xuanxuan blocked Xi Chenyu. "You wait for me!"
"..."
Girls are such a hassle!
Except for Little Sister Guoguo.
On the other side, at the main gate of the compound.
"Lili, it really is you!"
After watching the guard on duty call Jhiang’s home to confirm her identity, Kang Li said goodbye to the guard. Just as she pulled open the car door and was about to sit in the driver’s seat, a familiar male voice floated into her ears.
She followed the voice and looked over, and saw Jiang Boya getting out of the car behind hers. She couldn’t help closing her own car door and walking toward him. "Dad, what are you doing here?"
"A week ago, Elder Xi had a minor operation. He was discharged yesterday. Your grandfather just couldn’t sit still at home, so I drove him over to have a look, so he can feel at ease."
After listening to Jiang Boya, Kang Li walked over to the back window and greeted Jiang Hongfa, then smiled. "In a bit I’ll drop Guoguo and the others off at the little Jhiang kid’s house, then I’ll also go over to see Elder Xi." As it happened, there was a can of tea leaves and two bottles of national liquor, plus two cans of malt extract in her trunk.
The tea and the national liquor were for that "cheap" grandfather, Jiang Hongfa. When she bought them she directly bought two sets: one set was meant for the Jiang family old house, and one set left at home as backup for her biological father.
As for the two cans of malt extract, one was for her mom to drink, and one was for the kids at home to have mixed as a drink.
Later when she went to the Xi Family to visit Elder Xi, so as not to show up empty-handed, she’d just use the tea and national liquor meant for that "cheap" grandfather, plus the malt extract for her mom and the kids, as gifts.
"Are Bun and the others all in the car?"
This was Jiang Hongfa’s voice.
"Mm." Kang Li nodded and said with a smile, "Hanhan’s here too. Today one of Bun’s good friends is having a birthday. They were invited to come celebrate, and Hanhan was worried about Bun and the others’ safety, so she came along."
Jiang Hongfa: "Then don’t stand out here in the wind. Hurry and get in the car. We’ll see each other at the Xi Family in a while."
"Okay."
Kang Li nodded, then shifted her gaze to Jiang Boya. "Dad, you get in the car too."
Jiang Boya gave a little "mm" and sat in the driver’s seat.
Kang Li walked over to her own car and, in passing, helped explain things for Jiang Boya to the guard. She watched the guard dial the Xi Family’s number, then watched him ask Jiang Boya’s name to confirm his identity. Once everything checked out, she opened her car door and sat in the driver’s seat, started the engine, and drove into the compound in front of her.
