Chapter 326: Chapter 326 Not Back Yet
“Okay,” Jiang Changhai handed over his own clothes.
When doing business on the road, it was indeed better to be cautious.
After all, this was their entire livelihood, and if anything went wrong, all their hard work during this time would be wasted.
When Jiang Mianmian returned home from school and heard that her dad was going to Haicheng again, her heart was filled with reluctance,
but she knew that he was doing all this for her and her mom, so she could only wave goodbye to him reluctantly at the school gate.
Her dad was working so hard to earn money, she had to study hard too!
She decided that tonight she would finish the first semester’s Chinese textbook for fifth grade!
This time, Jiang Changhai went to Haicheng, Su Wanyu wasn’t as worried as before because of her previous experience.
But it seemed as though fate loved to play jokes; she didn’t know if something had happened to the car on the road, but he didn’t return at the scheduled time.
On the first day, Su Wanyu could still comfort herself, thinking that a delay of a day or two on a long trip was no big deal, but by the third day past the scheduled return, she began to panic.
The third time she came out of the transportation department’s office, her face was very distressed.
She had been coming almost daily to ask about the situation, but even the factory couldn’t get in touch with Master Yang and the others.
Calls to Haicheng confirmed that the truck had left on time, and by all accounts, should have arrived long ago.
So the fact that it hadn’t arrived yet definitely meant there was a problem on the road.
Su Wanyu was becoming increasingly anxious. On one hand, she was worried, and on the other, she had to hide it from her daughter.
But her anxiety grew day by day, and finally, Jiang Mianmian noticed.
“Mom, what’s wrong? Why have you been so distracted lately?”
These few days, her mom’s face visibly became more haggard, and she was even eating half a bowl less than usual.
“I might have caught a cold from the rain these past few days. It’s nothing serious, I’ll go to the clinic and get some medicine,” Su Wanyu didn’t tell the truth, not wanting her daughter to worry too.
But Jiang Mianmian wasn’t really a child and guessed that her mom was probably worried about her dad. She herself had been quietly counting the days as well.
Today was already the fifth day past the scheduled return, but Jiang Mianmian wasn’t as panicked and afraid as Su Wanyu.
Because the system had already recorded Jiang Changhai’s personal information and confirmed he was still alive.
So Jiang Mianmian took her mom’s hand and reassured her with a confident expression, “Mom, don’t worry, Dad will definitely come back safe.”
“Mhm.” Seeing her daughter’s determined and bright eyes, Su Wanyu finally felt a surge of strength to pick herself up.
Fortunately, on the seventh day past the scheduled time, Jiang Changhai finally returned.
That day after school, Su Wanyu took Jiang Mianmian to the cafeteria for dinner. Just as they entered the factory gate, they saw a familiar truck parked in the courtyard.
She rubbed her eyes in disbelief and after seeing the license plate, shook Jiang Mianmian’s hand excitedly, “Daughter, look at that truck, isn’t it the one Master Yang took to Haicheng?”
Jiang Mianmian was young with good eyesight, and indeed it was the license plate number her dad had told them before he left.
“Yes, Mom. Dad has come back.”
“Let’s go find your dad.”
The mother and daughter excitedly ran towards the truck.
Master Yang was just expressing his grievances about the past few days to his coworkers. Seeing Jiang Changhe’s wife and daughter running over in a hurry, he gave Jiang Changhai a nudge and teased with a laugh, “Changhai, your wife and daughter are looking for you.”
