Jiang Mianmian sat in the back seat, hugging Buddy Yu’s waist and, through her scarf, loudly said, "Brother Yu, I’m ready, let’s go."
"Okay, hold tight," Yu Cheng retracted his foot from the ground and started cycling away.
When they arrived at the steel mill in the suburbs, the deputy director of the steel mill personally came out to welcome the two, not neglecting them even though Yu Cheng and Jiang Mianmian were children.
He even specially cleared out a temporarily unused office in the factory for their use.
The deputy director asked a master to introduce the tools in the factory to them and let them use whatever they needed, assuring them that they could ask for anything and that their needs would be met as much as possible.
After the master had introduced the tools and left, Jiang Mianmian, pulling on Yu Cheng’s arm, excitedly said, "Brother Yu, the tools here are really complete, let’s get started."
"Little Lamb, we should still ask the deputy director to assign a master to us, these tools look pretty professional," Yu Cheng suggested.
"No need, Brother Yu, I know how to use all these things, you just need to assist me," Jiang Mianmian confidently said.
"You know all this?" Yu Cheng was somewhat surprised, as he knew a bit about welding.
He only felt that installing a television was a technical task and was afraid that his skills were not up to par, which could waste the materials, but he hadn’t expected Little Lamb to decide to do the work herself.
"Brother Yu, are you underestimating me? I told you I have many impressive skills, hehe," Jiang Mianmian said with a bit of pride.
"Okay, I underestimated you, let’s get to it," Yu Cheng took out the materials from his bag and told Jiang Mianmian.
Jiang Mianmian and Yu Cheng stayed in the steel mill until after three o’clock before they went back; in the winter, it got dark early, and the steel mill was far from their home, so the two were afraid of going back late and not being able to see the road clearly.
By the time they got home, it was already past four o’clock, and Jiang Changhai had already returned from work.
"Oh, it’s so cold, I’m freezing to death." As soon as Jiang Mianmian entered the house, she kept stamping her feet and rubbing her hands.
Riding the bike for so long in this weather was really torturous.
"Daughter, Buddy Yu, where have you been? Your mom said you two went out early in the morning, and now it’s already dark, and you just got back?" Jiang Changhai came over, stretched out his hand to warm Jiang Mianmian’s frostbitten red face, and asked with concern.
"Dad, Brother Yu and I can’t tell you what we did just yet, it’s a secret mission, just wait and see, we will definitely give you a big surprise," Jiang Mianmian said with a mysterious look.
"Is that so, what kind of big surprise?" Jiang Changhai looked at his daughter’s little face and matched her with a curious expression.
"I can’t say, if I say it, it won’t be a surprise anymore," Jiang Mianmian said, standing with her hands behind her back, putting on a grown-up’s air.
Hearing this, Jiang Changhai chuckled and said, "Alright, your mom and I will wait for your surprise then."
Su Wanyu also came out from the kitchen, teasingly said, "Your dad and I have seen a lot, so don’t disappoint us when the time comes."
Jiang Mianmian then patted her chest and firmly promised, "Don’t worry, mom, I definitely won’t disappoint you, I’ll surely amaze you."
"Alright, you’ve been busy all day and must be hungry, go wash your hands, it’s time for dinner," Su Wanyu said while she was setting up the dinner table.
The two kids obediently went to wash their hands.
Yu Cheng had ridden for more than an hour to and from today, which really took a lot out of him.
