Mrs. Yang heard Xiaoguo's voice from inside the house, so she stretched her head to look outside. When she saw that Yang Jia had gone out to open the door, she did not move. She remained seated and waited for Xiaoguo to come in.
But after a while, Xiaoguo still did not come in. Yang Jia even left the house and only returned after a long time.
"Why didn't Xiaoguo come in?"
"She went out and asked me to look after the house for a few days."
Yang Jia gestured at the key in his hand.
"She went out again?" Mrs. Yang stood up when she heard this and asked hurriedly, "Why did she go out again?"
"I don't know." Yang Jia shook his head and said, "It seems quite urgent. Something must have cropped up. It was decided at the last minute."
Mrs. Yang nodded in acknowledgment and sat back down in disappointment.
"When will she come back from this trip? Don't tell me she won't come back until I give birth…"
