Chapter 865 Brought Something Back
After Zhou Xiaoying got out of the car, she took out a lot of things from the trunk. When Chen Qi saw it, he immediately stepped forward to help take them away.
"Why did you bring so many things back? There is nothing missing in the villa, so why do you need to bring them from home? How can you use up all of them?"
"These are not for me, but for you. They are not valuable, but they are just a little gift from my family. Everyone should be asleep now, so I will give them to you tomorrow."
"Yes, it's really not convenient now. You should go back and rest early. I'll take these things to the storage room for you. There probably isn't enough space in the small suite to put them. If you don't mind."
"I don't mind. They are all worthless things. Am I afraid of losing them? It is really troublesome to carry so many things to the room. It will be bad if they disturb Xiang Xiang and Mu Bai when they sleep."
"Well, who said it wasn't? Just take it and put it in the storage room with me. If I hadn't slept yet, you would have to make two trips to get all the stuff."
"Who said it wasn't true? Brother Chen, you are such a considerate person. How could you possibly sleep when someone hasn't returned yet? You have to wait until they return before you can feel at ease. Thanks to you for helping me bring these things in. Let's be quiet so as not to disturb everyone's rest."
"Well, hurry up, so you can go back to your room and go to bed early."
"Okay, I've been away for a day and I thought about whether you guys cried or made a fuss. I saw that you guys didn't call me and thought that the situation should be fine."
"No, don't worry. You know that the child has always been very obedient. Besides, even if Xiang Xiang cried, we would not call you back."
"Why are you being so reserved? After all, I am a person who takes this job to do this, so I still have some professional ethics."
"Even if I agree, Mu Bai won't agree to it. Besides, there are so many people in the villa, can't they handle a little kid? It's really unnecessary to worry about it with your phone in hand."
"Well, since you think you're not disobedient, that's fine."
Zhou Xiaoying followed the housekeeper and carried the things to the storage room. "Just put the things on the floor. We will distribute them all tomorrow anyway."
"So many things to share? Didn't you bring anything back for yourself?"
"If I were to bring it myself, there would be nothing to bring. Butler, didn't you just say that there is everything in the villa? There is no need to bring anything back from outside."
Zhou Xiaoying rummaged through the bag a few times and handed a bag to Chen Qi. "This is for you, housekeeper. It contains all kinds of dried fruits that we dried at home. I specially separated them so that they won't smell like anything else. Don't worry."
"Dried fruit?"
Chen Qi became curious after hearing what Zhou Xiaoying said. When he took it, he found that the portion was quite large.
"It's so heavy? It must be about two or three kilograms." He opened the bag and saw that there were at least seven or eight bags inside. If each bag contained a different kind of fruit, there would be five or six kinds.
"Why do you have so many dried fruits at home? Did you buy them and dry them yourself?"
Zhou Xiaoying was amused by the housekeeper's words: "Brother Chen, please don't joke. It's not cost-effective to buy fruits and make dried fruits at home. We have an orchard at home and these fruits are grown there. There are too many fruits to eat, so my family dried them. Although they don't look good, they taste as good as those bought outside. Brother Chen, you will know when you try them.
"I believe this. If it doesn't taste good, you would be embarrassed to bring it out and give it to others."
"Yeah, when I went back today, the driver took out so many things from the trunk for me that I was shocked. I didn't expect Mu Bai to prepare so many things for me to take back. I wanted to take none of them but the driver ignored me and drove away immediately after putting the things down."
"This is all from Mao Bing's good intentions. She was afraid that you wouldn't accept it, so she specially arranged for me to handle this matter."
"I just know that this is her kindness and I feel embarrassed to refuse it. She has prepared it for me. If I bring it back, how will she look at me? Do you think I look down on the things given by the villa?"
"Mu Bai wouldn't think so."
"I know Mu Bai is a very kind and sincere person, so I can't just accept so many things from her for nothing, right? The Jiang family doesn't need anything. Even if we go to the store and buy something we think is the best and bring it back for her, she must have seen something better than what we can give her. She doesn't need anything, so my family and I can only think of bringing back something new and creative."
"Fortunately, I still have so many dried fruits at home. I brought all the remaining ones here, just in case there wouldn't be enough to share."
"You've already divided it up, so why are you worried about whether it's enough?"
"I'm afraid that you guys will feel embarrassed to ask me for more after you finish eating. So I brought a little more. Brother Chen, if you feel that it's not enough after you finish eating, just ask me. I will always provide you with enough of these things."
"Okay, I want to taste the dried fruits you brought to see how delicious they are to make you say such things. By the way, won't your family members say anything if you bring all the dried fruits from home? At least leave some for them, right?"
"It's okay. After seeing what Mu Bai sent, they complained that I didn't bring enough. If these were all we had left at home, they would have asked me to bring all I had. There are new fruits growing in our orchard at home. If they want to eat them, they can just dry them in the sun. If you like to eat them, tell me and I'll ask them to dry more for you next time."
"Okay, thank you for your kindness. I'll skip eating after brushing my teeth tonight and save it for tomorrow. Let's not stand here and chat. You must be very tired after going home. You should rest early because you have to get up and work tomorrow."
Zhou Xiaoying was indeed a little tired, so after hearing what Chen Qi said, she nodded and went back upstairs.
Jiang Mubai didn't sleep upstairs. When she was in the room, she heard the sound of a car coming from the yard outside and knew that Zhou Xiaoying had returned. However, after such a long time, she still hadn't seen her come up, so Jiang Mubai became a little curious.
If Jiang Mubai hadn't thought about being alone in the room without anyone looking after her, she would have gone downstairs to see what was going on. Fortunately, she didn't have to wait long before she saw Zhou Xiaoying going upstairs to her room.
"Mu Bai, you haven't slept yet?"
"No, I was just trying to fall asleep when I heard the sound downstairs. I was thinking about you coming back, Aunt Zhou. I was thinking about waiting for you to go upstairs to your room before going to sleep."
"So that's how it is. Now that I'm back, go to sleep and just think about me watching."
"Auntie, go wash up first. It's so late now, so you should wash up and go to bed early. Let me take care of him to sleep today. I haven't taken care of him to sleep since he was born. In this case, I am indeed a bit derelict in my duty as a mother."
"How can you say that? Weren't we in confinement before? How could I dare ask you to stay up late to take care of him at that time? Your own health is the most important thing."
"Okay, but I don't want to sleep with Xiangxiang for one night now. Aunt Zhou, please help me."
Seeing that Zhou Xiaoying was still worried, Jiang Mubai continued, "I will take good care of Xiangxiang at night, and he is so obedient that he won't cry. Aunt Zhou, you have put him to bed so many times. When have you ever seen him wake up crying for no reason in the middle of the night, right?"
"Okay, since you think so, then I'll let you take Xiang Xiang to sleep tonight."
"Okay, thank you Aunt Zhou, go in and wash up, I want to go to bed now too."
"Just lie down and I'll turn off the light for you. If this isn't the case, you don't have to get up and turn it off yourself."
"Okay, Aunt Zhou, I'm ready. Can you help me turn off the light?"
