Sunday.
In the morning.
After working all night, Zhang Ye returned home exhausted.
When the door opened, Wu Zeqing was startled. "Whoa."
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "I'm home, Old Wu."
Wu Zeqing smiled. "How did you get so tan?"
"Hai, it's because I was exposed to the elements." Zhang Ye said, "My daughter!"
Sisi cheered and ran over happily. "Daddy! Daddy!"
Zhang Ye picked her up and kissed her many times. "My dear, Daddy has missed you so much! Have you been obedient and listened to Mommy these past few days? Hmm? Have you been a good girl at school?"
Sisi nodded firmly and said, "Sisi has been a very good girl!"
Zhang Ye's smile filled his face.
Wu Zeqing asked, "Have you eaten yet?"
"Not yet." At the mention of it, Zhang Ye became very hungry. "Old Wu, quick, I haven't had any hot food in so many days. Hurry and cook some meat for me to eat. I want to have red braised pork as well as stewed pork ribs."
