Seeing that Mu Qiancheng wanted to escort her, Jiang Xue was happy but didn’t want to affect his work, so she said, "Qian Cheng, there’s no need to see off. It’s not far from here to ho, I can go back by myself."
"No way, I have to make sure you get ho safely." Mu Qiancheng shook his head and refused. Not to ntion it’s already late, even if it were early, he wouldn’t feel at ease letting Jiang Xue go back alone.
Mu Qiancheng insisted on seeing her off, so Jiang Xue had no choice but to quicken her pace. She thought that if she got ho earlier, Mu Qiancheng could return to the camp earlier as well.
At the door, Mu Qiancheng watched Jiang Xue go inside but didn’t enter himself. Although he wanted to see his parents, he held back.
Never mind, there’s always a long future. He would co back to visit them on so holiday.
"Xue’er, take good care of yourself, the kids, and Mom and Dad, and wait for to co back." Mu Qiancheng instructed Jiang Xue before turning and striding into the night.
At the Mu Family, Mu Siwu and Bai Yuhua were worried because Jiang Xue hadn’t co back yet even though it was late.
"Old Man, do you think Xue’er might have gotten lost? Why hasn’t she co back after so long?" Bai Yuhua said worriedly, even ignoring Little Reunion who was trying to play with her.
Mu Siwu didn’t speak, so Bai Yuhua continued, "Sigh, it’s already getting dark, and she still hasn’t returned. It’s really worrying."
"How about this, you stay ho with the child, and I’ll go take a look." Mu Siwu thought for a bit and said. His wife was worried, and he was no less so.
Jiang Xue had married into the Mu family for more than a year, but she had never really gone up the mountain. What if she got lost, what should they do then?
It was also his fault; when Jiang Xue said she wanted to go up the mountain, he agreed without thinking much. If sothing really happened to Jiang Xue, he wouldn’t know how to explain to Mu Qiancheng.
"Alright, you go on then, take a flashlight and be careful on the road." Bai Yuhua instructed, watching Mu Siwu take a flashlight and head out the door.
Unexpectedly, just as Mu Siwu was about to step out, Jiang Xue pushed the door open and ca in. Seeing the couple, she was a bit surprised and asked, "Dad, Mom, where are you going?"
"Xue’er, you’re back!" Bai Yuhua exclaid with delight. As long as Jiang Xue was back, they could finally put their minds at ease.
"Yes, I’m back!" Jiang Xue nodded, then noticed the flashlight in Mu Siwu’s hand and asked, "Dad, Mom, were you planning to co look for ?"
"Exactly, we were about to look for you. You stayed out so late, you had us worried."
"Xue’er, from now on when you go out, you should co back earlier. Otherwise, your dad and I will be worried."
"Mom, I understand. I’m sorry for worrying you." Jiang Xue apologized with a guilty face, looking at the worried elders and feeling very remorseful.
From now on, she thought, she should try to co ho earlier when going out, to save the two elders from worrying.
"It’s good you’re back." Mu Siwu said, then turned to head back with the flashlight. Bai Yuhua, holding the child, noticed Jiang Xue’s empty basket and couldn’t help but smile helplessly.
Jiang Xue went out for the afternoon and ca back so late, only to bring back an empty basket. It seed they really couldn’t count on Jiang Xue to gather firewood in the future.
On second thought, Bai Yuhua felt it was understandable. Jiang Xue had been pampered since childhood, so it was normal for her not to know how to do such things.
Hadn’t she known this all along?
