"Mommy."
Tun Tun called out.
Zhang Qian answered from the other end of the line, "Yes, Mommy's here. Daddy and Mommy went to visit Grandma. We'll be back in a few days. You be a good boy and listen to your aunt, okay?"
Tun Tun nodded. "I know."
Xue Xingzhou leaned in too. "Son."
Tun Tun called out, "Daddy."
Xue Xingzhou smiled. "Hey, do you miss Daddy?"
"I do."
Zhang Qian said, "You be good at Auntie's house, and when Daddy and Mommy come back, we'll buy you a new toy, okay?"
"Okay."
...
When it was time to hang up, Zhang Qian was still reluctant, making kissing sounds into the phone. "Kisses for my baby. Daddy and Mommy will be back soon."
"Okay."
"We're hanging up now!"
"..."
Zhang Qian didn't hear a response from the other end, so she thought no one was there and hung up.
