struggle in a small town

Chapter 310

Normally, driving only takes one foot of the gas pedal, but Lin Zhiyuan came back after more than an hour, and was soaked from top to bottom, even his sneakers were dripping water.

It was so cold, his lips turned white from the cold.

Zhang Xuejiao hurriedly greeted her: "Why did you do this?"

"The wind was too strong, and the canopy bracket was blown off. I found a stick and tied it temporarily."

"Hurry up and take a hot bath." Zhang Xuejiao said and walked to the kitchen: "I'll make you some ginger soup."

After Lin Zhiyuan finished washing, Zhang Xuejiao had already brought the soup to the dining table and invited him to drink two bowls.

"It's nice to have a wife."

Lin Zhiyuan hugged her waist and hummed: "I miss you so much~ Do you want to take advantage of mom's absence? Huh?"

Zhang Xuejiao understood and blushed: "Don't make trouble, your mother may come back anytime."

"Don't worry, it's raining so hard, my mother won't be able to leave for a while." Lin Zhiyuan continued to flicker: "I promise to be gentle and not to press my stomach."

"But, but"

Zhang Xuejiao wanted to run away, but the problem was, the room was so big, where could she run?
"You, you drink the soup first, I, then what, I."

The phone rang, and she was like a drowning person seeing the straw: "I'll answer the phone."

Hailan called, saying that she went to the plateau to shoot a wedding today, but she didn't expect that the road ahead was landslide, and now she was stuck on the road and couldn't walk.

Xiaoxiao has an extra-curricular class this afternoon, and the get out of class is about to end, so she can only ask Zhang Xuejiao to pick it up.

"Okay, don't worry, I'll pick him up with Lin Zhiyuan."

The place where Xiaoxiao goes to cram school is just across the road from Lin's bookstore.

Lin Zhiyuan just came back from there and had to go there again.

The rain was too heavy, and he didn't want Xiaoxue to go out: "I'll pick up my wife, you wait at home."

"No." Zhang Xuejiao discussed with him: "I want to pack up, pick up Xiaoxiao and walk along Jiefang Road, and go directly to the development center."

"You still want to go to the development center? Hailan just said that the road is blocked."

Zhang Xuejiao frowned: "How can the expansion center be blocked?"

"Why is it impossible?"

Lin Zhiyuan still wanted to persuade a few more words, but Zhang Xuejiao urged: "Go and meet Xiaoxiao first, and then look at it on the road."

It wasn't until I went out that I realized how heavy the rain was.

Zhang Xuejiao hid in the corridor, and waited for Lin Zhiyuan to park the car at the door of the building before going out with an umbrella.

In just a few seconds, the bottom of her trouser legs was completely wet.

Fortunately, I wore a pair of waterproof sneakers on my feet, otherwise my socks would also be wet.

When he arrived at the place, Xiaoxiao had already finished class, and was sitting in the classroom eagerly waiting for his mother to pick him up.

However, due to the heavy rain, many parents did not arrive in time, and there were other children in the classroom, Xiaoxiao was not alone.

Zhang Xuejiao walked to the door and waved at Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao~"

"Mother Xiaoxue!" Xiaoxiao quickly picked up her schoolbag and ran over, seeing Lin Zhiyuan pounce on him: "Papa Lin!"

The teacher had received Hailan's call a long time ago, and with Xiaoxiao's attitude towards the two of them, Zhang Xuejiao asked Zhang Xuejiao to leave her ID number and mobile phone number, and Xiaoxiao left.

Children are treasures these days, if one is lost, not only will the teacher be unable to take responsibility, but several families will also be ruined.

After getting in the car, Zhang Xuejiao called Hailan and told her that she had successfully received Xiaoxiao, and told her not to worry, and asked about the road conditions by the way.

Hailan said that the traffic police organized follow-up vehicles to turn around, and it was estimated that it would be their turn in an hour or two. By then, they would take the ring road, and they would definitely be able to go back tonight.

Because Zhang Xuejiao was pregnant and hungry quickly, there were a lot of snacks prepared in the car, Lin Zhiyuan took out a pack of biscuits: "Xiaoxiao, are you hungry? Eat some biscuit pads first."

"What does it taste like?"

"chocolate."

Smiling and cheering, she got it in her hand, opened the bag three times, five times, and was about to take it with her hands, but was held down by Zhang Xuejiao: "Wipe your hands with a wet towel first."

"Oh" smiled bitterly: "You are more and more like my mother, so long-winded."

Zhang Xuejiao really couldn't laugh or cry.

Things happened just as Lin Zhiyuan expected, the landslide had a huge impact, not to mention going to the expansion center, even the T-junction of Jiefang Road and Zhanbei Road was tightly blocked.

As God intended, Zhang Xuejiao had no choice but to call Lin Tiantian, saying that today was really difficult.

Lin Tiantian said that she had expected it a long time ago, because a lot of cars suddenly came to the expansion center.Everyone in the car was thirsty and hungry, and they all ran to the cafeteria to find food.

Lin Zhiyuan was stunned when he heard the news.

Good guy, I didn't expect traffic jams to have windfalls.

Zhang Xuejiao joked: "Oh, it's a pity that the hotel is not open, otherwise I can make a fortune."

"It's always necessary to loosen the smell of decoration." Lin Zhiyuan can think about it: "Health comes first, and you can't go against your conscience."

After finishing speaking, I remembered that all the windows of the hotel were open. If rainwater floated in and there were furniture on the walls and floors, wouldn’t it be the end of everything?

Lin Zhiyuan quickly called Zhang Fu, only to find out that Zhang Fu had read the weather forecast and had already closed the windows last night.

With such worry-free employees, Lin Zhiyuan really felt at ease.

Since you can't move forward, turn around and go home.

On the way, they also picked up Song Xiuni and Lin Aimin, saving them from walking home in the rain.

Xiaoxiao was well educated by Hailan, so she took the initiative to call her grandpa and grandma, and immediately gave Xiaoxiao 200 yuan as a meeting gift because of Lin Aiminle.

Song Xiuni laughed and said, "Look at the baby in Aunt Xiaoxue's belly, is it a boy or a girl?"

Lin Zhiyuan couldn't help being nervous, he wasn't afraid of Xiaoxiao saying something wrong, but afraid of Xiaoxue thinking too much.

Smiling and tilting his head, he replied, "I want a younger sister."

Song Xiuni's complexion was not so good, she didn't want this answer.

Lin Aimin sat in the co-pilot, turned around and scolded her: "It's so old, why are you asking this useless thing?"

Although Xiaoxiao is small, she is very sensitive. When she sensed that something was wrong, she lowered her head and ate the biscuit without making a sound.

Lin Zhiyuan looked at Xiaoxue's expression nervously in the rearview mirror, seeing her eyes drooping and a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, he knew that she was upset.

Lin Zhiyuan is also very helpless, he has told Song Xiuni several times, don't get entangled in the gender of the child, no matter boy or girl, they are all his and Xiaoxue's children.

But Song Xiuni's concept of decades cannot be changed in a day or two.

He could only forcefully change the topic: "Mom, shall we have hot pot tonight? In such a cold day, let's have a lively meal and watch TV."

Zhang Xuejiao raised her head, and Lin Zhiyuan's eyes met in the rearview mirror, knowing that he was worried that she would not be able to think about it, so she shook her head slightly to show that she was fine.

Having lived with Song Xiuni for so long, Xiaoxue had already thought about it.

No matter how eager Song Xiuni is to have a grandson, if she gives birth to a girl in the future, she can't help it, right?
You can't just plug it back in and start over again, right?

After sending his family back first, Lin Zhiyuan went to the supermarket alone to buy ingredients.

For hot pot, there are many tricks and the bottom material must be authentic.

Zhang Xuejiao arranged for Xiaoxiao to change her shoes and wash her hands, and watched her drink a glass of water before asking her if she had any homework.

Xiaoxiao grabbed her arm and shook: "Mother Xiaoxue~ I'll write after dinner~"

"Write before eating." Zhang Xuejiao took out her schoolbag: "Otherwise, you haven't finished writing when your mother comes back, and you will definitely be scolded by then."

Xiaoxiao is not happy anymore, and Lao Gao pouted with a small mouth.

Zhang Xuejiao rubbed her head helplessly: "Well, I'll write for half an hour, and I'll give you an ice cream."
