Chapter 456: Chapter 456: The Brothers Group Up to Boost Morale (1)_1 Chapter 456: Chapter 456: The Brothers Group Up to Boost Morale (1)_1 But Xiu Xi stood up with calm composure, walked over, then stopped at the doorway, looking at them.
“…” A few lads.
They instinctively stepped back, clearing the way.
Xiu Xi passed by them, following Ruan Jiaojiao down the stairs.
It wasn’t until he was out of sight that the group of lads behind him ca to their senses, angrily grabbing their own hair in frustration, and then all began to punch and kick at Xiu Xi’s departing figure!
It was infuriating, too infuriating!
This kid was too bizarre!
They didn’t understand why they always cowered in front of him, sothing they had never done before even with Ruan Hao or Ruan Jianguo.
As for Ruan Jiaojiao, she was in such a good mood that she hopped and skipped all the way down.
Shu Jiao was in her room, being comforted by Ruan Jianguo when they heard the noise. The couple ca out to see Ruan Jiaojiao laughing happily as she ca downstairs.
“Mom, I want to take a bath, please draw the water for ,” Ruan Jiaojiao said and then headed to the Ruanlin family’s room, as most of her clothes were still in there.
Shu Jiao was still in a state of sorrow, and upon hearing this, she couldn’t quite react imdiately.
Ruan Jianguo quickly nudged her, urging, “Go on, then.” If it had been before, Ruan Jianguo would never have let his wife do such work, but now, during a ti of nding their mother-daughter relationship, he could only let her do it.
Upon hearing this, Shu Jiao quickly wiped the tears from her face, mustered a smile, found a bucket in the living room, and headed for the kitchen, where the water in the kettle was still warm on the coal stove, only needing a bit of cold water to be right.
Shu Jiao carried a bucket of water to the bathing area in the kitchen annex, then went to call for Ruan Jiaojiao. Just hearing a word of thanks from Ruan Jiaojiao made her feel sweet inside.
She even waited outside the door, hoping to help her fetch sothing if she needed it.
But Ruan Jiaojiao did not call out, leaving Shu Jiao feeling a bit disappointed.
Xiu Xi had directly poured a bucket of water in the courtyard to wash himself, and after changing his clothes, Ruan Jiaojiao still hadn’t co out, so he waited in the living room.
“Xiaoxi, you go to sleep first, your aunt will wait here,” Ruan Jianguo said when he saw Xiu Xi sitting in the living room, trying to coax him.
Xiu Xi shook his head without a word, just quietly waiting.
Only after Ruan Jiaojiao had finished washing did he rise to his feet.
“Mom, I left my clothes inside; can you wash them for tomorrow?”
“Of course, I’ll wash all your clothes from now on,” Shu Jiao said, her voice tinged with a touch of sorrow, delighted that her daughter was still talking to her and even asking her for help, yet at the sa ti sad that her daughter was so polite to her.
“Well, thank you, Mom,” Ruan Jiaojiao said, then seeing Xiu Xi on the side, “Xiu Brother, let’s go to sleep.”
Before going upstairs, she even said goodnight to the two standing below.
“Alright, don’t be sad anymore, our daughter will understand eventually,” Ruan Jianguo softly comforted Shu Jiao, who still had traces of tears on her face. Seeing her going to get Ruan Jiaojiao’s clothes, he also said, “Wash the clothes tomorrow morning. You still have to make sothing tasty for the girl in the morning and deliver lunch to her, you’ll be busy, so you should rest well tonight.”
Thinking it over, Shu Jiao soaked Ruan Jiaojiao’s clothes in clean water and went to rest with Ruan Jianguo.
Upstairs.
Ruan Jianguo had bought two more fans yesterday, adding to the one purchased during Ruan Jiaojiao’s hospital stay, the household now had a total of five fans, ensuring one for each room.
