Mu Ya came in from outside the house and quietly climbed onto the sofa, sitting next to Zhang Xiao. Her small head was tilted to the side as she stared at Zhang Xiao."Hee hee."
Mu Ya"s little friend finally laughed along with Zhang Xiao.
Hearing her daughter"s silly laughter, Zhang Xiao finally regained her senses. Seeing the little girl"s pair of large eyes twinkling, Zhang Xiao somehow blushed.
She gathered everything up and put it back in the box.
Seeing that her mother had kept everything, Mu Ya crawled into Zhang Xiao"s embrace and gently called out, "Mom."
Zhang Xiao hugged the little girl tightly with one hand and put her face on Mu Ya"s face. She said warmly: "This is father"s present to mother."
"Why did Daddy give Mom a present?"
Zhang Xiao explained with a faint smile: "Today"s day is special, so Daddy will give Mommy a present."
"Why didn"t Daddy give it to Mu Ya? "Daddy is very biased." The little girl pouted, complaining about how biased her father was. Then she grabbed the main point and asked curiously, "Mom, what day is it today?"
"It"s the Lantern Festival, you need to eat Soup Dumplings. After we return home in the afternoon, Mom will cook Soup Dumplings for Mu Ya, okay?"
"Sure."
Mu Ya quickly changed the topic and forgot to continue asking about the special day.
Zhang Xiao took out her phone and called Mu Ya"s cla.s.s teacher first. She didn"t say that Mu Ya didn"t want to go to school, but said that she wanted to help Mu Ya get a few days of leave. She wanted to spend a few days to make Mu Ya willingly go to school.
After helping Mu Ya get a leave of absence, she said to Mu Ya: "Can we call Father?"
Mu Ya nodded vigorously, she really wanted to take the phone from Zhang Xiao. She wanted to call her father, but her mother had never liked her playing with phones, saying that the radiation emitted from the phone was great. She was young, and her eyes were not fully developed yet.
Seeing Mu Ya like that, Zhang Xiao was in a good mood, so she asked: "Does Mu Ya want to call father?"
Mu Ya nodded.
For the first time, Zhang Xiao handed her phone over to Mu Ya. Mu Ya was very happy when she received it, but she soon lost her excitement as she didn"t know the number of her father"s phone.
After placing the large gift box on the tea table, Zhang Xiao instructed her to remember the number that Mu Chen had used to contact him.
Mu Chen had just arrived at the provincial capital of Yi Xiu Jie"s hometown last night. After getting off the plane, he rushed to the hospital overnight.
Because Yi Xiu Jie"s injuries were too heavy, it was easier for Mu Chen to find the city hospital.
Last night, even though he saw the heavily injured Yi Xiu Jie, he could only guard Yi Xiu Jie because Yi Xiu was too weak and had yet to wake up. He did not immediately call his wife.
When he received the call from Zhang Xiao, he ignored the matter of the Valentine"s Day gifts and thought that Zhang Xiao was asking about Yi Xiu Jie"s situation.
When he opened his mouth, he used a deep and slightly hoa.r.s.e voice to speak to Zhang Xiao: "Xiao Er, I saw Xiujie, he is still unconscious. But the doctor said that he is completely out of danger and will recover after being hospitalized for a period of time, don"t worry too much."
When Mu Chen found Yi Xiu Jie, he immediately asked about Yi Xiu Jie"s injuries. There were more than a dozen doctors who were involved in the rescue, and they had to struggle for more than ten hours before they managed to save Yi Xiu Jie"s life.
The doctor said that Yi Xiu Jie"s awareness for survival was especially strong, as if there was a determination to support him, which was why a miracle would happen and save him.
"He also moved from the hospital in the town to the hospital in the city, where the hospital conditions are better. You tell Ye Qing, so she won"t worry too much. There are many familiar faces in the hospital, Xiujie will receive the best care and treatment. "
Zhang Xiao nodded, and asked about Yi Xiu Jie"s situation in detail. Finally, she said to Mu Chen: "Hubby, thank you."
Hearing her call him husband, Mu Chen"s eyebrows softened, the tiredness on her face seemed to have been wiped away. The two of them had already become husband and wife for several months, and she rarely called him husband intimately. Sometimes, when he tried to coax her, she couldn"t even change her words.
"What are you thanking me for, this is what I should do, Xiujie can be considered my first uncle."
"Daddy, I want a present too."
Mu Ya didn"t have as much patience as her mother and father, who were whispering sweet nothings on the phone. She went closer to Zhang Xiao"s ears and called out to him, telling him to give her a present.
Only when his daughter mentioned about the presents, did Mu Chen remember everything that he had arranged. He then laughed and asked Zhang Xiao: "Did you see all of them?"
"I saw it." Zhang Xiao"s voice was as gentle as spring water, soft and tender, to the point that even Mu Chen"s bones would go soft if he were to hear it.
"Do you like it?"
"I like it."
"If it wasn"t for Xiujie, I would have brought you to see a movie. We haven"t gone to see a movie together yet." Mu Chen still felt that it was a pity.
Zhang Xiao laughed, "When you return, whenever you want to see me, I will accompany you."
"Alright. Mu Ya is still at home? "
Zhang Xiao told Mu Chen about her daughter"s request of not wanting to go to school. Mu Chen had long since known that her daughter would withdraw, but after hearing that Zhang Xiao had actually obeyed her daughter and agreed not to her daughter"s request of going to school, he reacted like Aunt Lan, as if it was inconceivable.
It was just that Zhang Xiao did not go any deeper, as he believed that Zhang Xiao would not cripple her own daughter. He believed that Zhang Xiao definitely had a trick up her sleeve that would bring His daughter back into the kindergarten and even make her daughter willingly go to school.
It had to be said that Mu Chen truly trusted Zhang Xiao a lot, especially in Mu Ya"s education. It could be said that he trusted Zhang Xiao one hundred percent.
After the couple spoke for a while, Zhang Xiao took the initiative to hang up the phone. She could hear the tiredness in Mu Chen"s words, and she knew that it was tiring for him to travel so far.
After ending the call, Zhang Xiao realized that Mu Ya Jr. was looking at her with her pink lips.
"What"s wrong?"
Little Mu Ya looked very angry.
Mom was so focused on talking to Dad on the phone that she didn"t even say a word.
Zhang Xiao put away her phone, picked up the little bean with one hand, and laughed: "Mu Ya is angry? Mom will take you out. "
Mu Ya turned anger into joy, but she did not forget to ask, "Where did father go? When will Daddy be back? "
"Daddy went to see Uncle Xiujie."
"Is Uncle Xiujie sick like the Auntie Ye?"
"Mu Ya, if you call Xiujie your uncle, then you have to call Auntie Ye your aunt."
"Uncle Black Face, the beautiful Auntie Lu is also an aunt. Uncle Xiujie, Aunt Auntie Ye, Mu Ya has two aunts."
Hearing Mu Ya describe Ning Zhi Yuan as a black-faced uncle, Zhang Xiao couldn"t help but laugh. In the heart of his niece, Ning Zhi Yuan had a very special impression after such a long time.
