Exile

42

The school was very small, and there was no big ceremony for its completion. Everyone in the village came to see it, and then went home for dinner.

Su Qingbai didn't go back together with Father Su. He said it to his Lao Zi and went towards Jiang Mao's house with Su Caicai in his arms.

"Little Uncle――"

Su Qingbai looked back and Su Huai had caught up.

"Why don't you go home with your grandpa for dinner?"

Su Huai took Su Caicai in his arms. "Where are you going with Caicai? Take me with you."

Of course, Su Qingbai could not tell the truth. He pursed his lips. "I asked Aunt in the village to make Caicai's clothes." The women in the Su family were not very good at making clothes. Or else, like Madam Su, when they made clothes, their children would grow up and they would not be able to wear it when it was done.

Su Huai's mind was clear. Obviously, this was not the direction of that Aunt's house.

"I happen to want to make clothes for my mother. Let's go together."

Su Qingbai was annoyed. "You're not Caicai; still have to be held by Little Uncle to take you? Can't you go by yourself?"

"I heard that a family moved into the village. Since you don't want to take me with you, I'll visit that family." After saying that, he held Su Caicai and went to Jiang Mao's house.

Su Qingbai was not a fool. How could he not know what was Su Huai's real intention?

He guessed that Su Huai might have met Jiang Mao.

That should be because Jiang Mao was acting ostentatiously like that. He felt that Jiang Mao had moved here on purpose.

Jiang Mao had cooked the meal earlier. He also was not surprised to see Su Huai and greeted him with a smile.

Stretching out a hand without smiling, Su Huai called out, "Jiang Gongzi."

"Just in time, I've cooked the meal. If it's convenient, please stay for a meal."

Su Huai thought: it is not very easy to eat his meal; have to wait from last year until now.

"Jiang Gongzi lives alone?"

Jiang Mao smiled and nodded. Sometimes Hu Hong would come too.

Su Huai felt complicated when he saw the quite big house that was neat and tidy. He had worried about Little Uncle's simple mind and thought this person's mind was not simple. He was afraid Little Uncle would be deceived by this person.

He looked at this man who was also a rich man and did not expect that for his Little Uncle, the man abandoned his rich life, moved to a small village, washed and cooked, and did everything by himself.

Now it seemed that this man was sincere.

Su Huai turned very good-naturedly towards Jiang Mao a little bit.

Walking to the hall room, when he saw a table full of delicious dishes, Su Huai, who was holding Su Caicai was stunned. Is this man a cook?

Jiang Mao invited them to sit down and added chopsticks for Su Huai.

Before the dinner began, Su Caicai pounced on the table. He was always the most active during mealtime.

Jiang Mao hurriedly handed over a small saucer and said, "Knowing Caicai would be here, I intentionally cooked the meat and vegetable until it tenderized a bit."

When Su Huai heard it, complexity rose in his heart. When they met before, this person obviously didn't know Caicai existed. Now, it seemed that they were actually father and son?
