Chapter 440: Not Here for Jiang Dong
Chapter 440: Not Here for Jiang Dong
Early the next morning, Jiang Fu picked up some items from the cabinet and said to Jiang Mu, "I'm heading to work and will drop these bags off to Xia Xia on my way."
The bags were filled with snacks that Jiang Xia loved, along with several cans of milk powder.
Doctor Gao had emphasized the importance of ensuring Xia Xia's nutrition the day before.
After returning home the previous night, Jiang Fu rode his bicycle to the mall to buy milk powder, snacks, and fruits for Jiang Xia.
It was convenient having his daughter in the city, as he could visit her before work.
However, his daughter was returning to the village that day, so he bought a little extra.
Jiang Mu replied, "I'll take them over later, or I can ask Jiang Dong to deliver them. Don't you have a meeting this morning?"
"It's fine, I still have time. I can make it," Jiang Fu insisted, wanting to visit his daughter.
He didn't want to wait for his wife or son to deliver the items, fearing they might be too late and that his daughter and son-in-law would have already left for the village.
His wife always took her time getting ready and dressing up before going out.
Jiang Dong, on vacation, was still asleep.
At that moment, Jiang Dong emerged from his room, "Dad, I'll go! I'll drop by to see my sister, too."
"Let's go then! We'll go together," Jiang Fu agreed.
Jiang Dong stepped forward and took the bags and a thermos from his father's hands.
The thermos contained a ginseng and astragalus chicken soup that Jiang Fu had stewed the night before.
Father and son set off together.
Ye Xian arrived at the Jiang residence early that morning.
She saw that Jiang Fu's driver had already parked the car downstairs, waiting for him.
She hid and kept a low profile, staying at a distance.
Only when Jiang Fu's car drove away did she come out.
Soon after, Jiang Mu also hurried downstairs.
Jiang Mu said, "I'll take them over later, or I can ask Jiang Dong to deliver them. Don't you have a meeting this morning?"

Soon after, Jiang Mu also hurried downstairs.
Jiang Mu said, "I'll take care of it later. I'll ask Jiang Dong to deliver them. You have a meeting, right?"
"No problem, I'll be quick," Jiang Dong replied.
Jiang Mu waved goodbye to Jiang Fu.
Jiang Fu also greeted Zhou Fu, Zhou Mu, and Zhou Zhou, who were waiting downstairs.
Jiang Dong spotted them and called out loudly, "Sister, Brother-in-law!"
Zhou Chenglei responded and shouted, "Dad!"
Jiang Xia exclaimed in surprise, "Dad, Xiaodong, how did you get here?"
Jiang Fu smiled, "I brought some food for you to take home. I have to get to work now. Be careful on the road, in-laws. Zhou Chenglei, drive slowly. Xiaodong, help them carry any heavy items they might need assistance with."
Zhou Chenglei assured, "Dad, don't worry, I will."
Jiang Xia waved at Jiang Fu.
Jiang Fu bid farewell to Zhou Fu, Zhou Mu, and Zhou Zhou.
Jiang Dong took the luggage bag from Zhou Chenglei and placed it in the car, "Are there more items upstairs?"
Jiang Xia: "That's all."
The suitcase contained books, along with milk powder and some food that Zhou Chenglei had purchased.
Jiang Xia turned to Zhou's parents, "Dad, Mom, Zhou Zhou, get in the car. It's cold outside."
Zhou Chenglei had already opened the car door.
Jiang Dong directly lifted Zhou Zhou into the car, "Zhou Zhou, during the New Year, come to the city with your aunt to play with your uncle."
Zhou Zhou responded, "Okay, Uncle, you can also come to our house to play when you're free."
Jiang Dong patted Zhou Zhou's head, "Good boy, there are lots of delicious snacks in the bag. If you get hungry on the way, just take some to eat."

"Okay."
Jiang Xia tugged at Jiang Dong's clothing, "I need to talk to you about something."
Jiang Dong spoke to Zhou's parents in the car, "Dad, Mom, I'll be right back."
"Today, did you see Ye Xian?"
Jiang Dong: "...No."
Jiang Xia was still a bit worried, "If you see her, what will you do?"
Jiang Dong, feeling helpless: "If I see her, I'll pretend I didn't. I promise I won't pay her any attention, don't worry."
She had almost caused his sister to have a miscarriage. Would he still pay attention to her? His brother-in-law would sever ties with him if he did!
Jiang Xia: "If you see her, no matter what she says or what the situation is, run away quickly. If it's an emergency, run away and call the police. Let the police help her, don't try to help her alone, understand?"
Jiang Dong nodded, "I understand. Don't worry, get in the car!"
His brother-in-law had already opened the car door and was waiting for her.
Jiang Xia: "You get in too. We'll send you back first."
Jiang Dong: "No need, I'll run back. I haven't gone running today."
Knowing that Jiang Dong and his father also ran daily, Jiang Xia didn't insist, "Then we're heading back. Be careful on the road."
Jiang Dong placed his hand on her head, "Okay, get in the car."
Zhou Chenglei helped Jiang Xia into the car, closed the door, and said to Jiang Dong, "We're heading back first. Take care of Mom and Dad, and don't fall for women's tricks again."
Jiang Dong: "..."
Was he really that foolish?
He never repeated the mistakes he had made.
After watching the car drive away, Jiang Dong started running back home.
Halfway through his run, he spotted his mother's car and waved.
Jiang Mu stopped the car, "Get in! Accompany me to the factory to move some things."
After today's shift, Jiang Mu would be on vacation. The fabrics and stock of clothes in the factory needed to be stored properly, as there were concerns about fire hazards during the Spring Festival due to the increased use of fireworks and firecrackers.
Jiang Dong, drenched in sweat from running, said, "I'll go home to take a shower and change my clothes first, Mom. You go ahead, I'll drive there myself later."
Jiang Mu got out of the car and pushed him into the car, "Take a shower? Change clothes? You'll get dirty moving things too, get in the car! Don't be cleaner than a woman, taking multiple showers a day!"
Jiang Dong couldn't help but feel sweaty and his clothes were damp. If he didn't shower and change, he'd stink! But Jiang Mu didn't want him to go home and see Ye Xian, so she didn't allow him to go back! At this moment, Jiang Mu also wished for school to start soon, so she could send her son back to Beijing, lock him up in the research institute, and keep him under Zhang Fuyan's watchful eye.
Zhou Chenglei drove along the road, while Jiang Xia closed her eyes, intending to catch some sleep.
Zhou Zhou, lying on the car window, spotted a breakfast stall selling jianbing guozi on the side of the street and curiously asked, "What's that?"
Jiang Xia opened her eyes to take a look.
"That's jianbing guozi. Zhou Chenglei, stop the car for a bit, I want to eat some."
Zhou Chenglei found a safe spot to pull over, "I'll go and get some."
Zhou Fu said, "I'll go."
He opened the door and stepped out of the car.
Zhou Fu walked back to the stall, bought four jianbing guozi, and headed towards the car. However, someone grabbed his arm.
