"Haha, as expected of the old man's granddaughter! Alright, I'll take care of this. I'm more suitable to go than you."

For so many years, he has been the one handling the Bai family's clandestine affairs, and he was the one who led the team to collect all that information.

Moreover, he couldn't let the little girl be exposed to others...

"Hehehe, thank you, Fourth Uncle! I'll get the things for you, please wait a moment."

He returned to his room, took out a well-preserved century-old ginseng root, and handed it to Bai Laosi.

"Okay, you get some rest and wait for my good news."

"Yes, Fourth Uncle, you should get some rest too."

The next morning, Bai Laosi went out early.

After Bai Yajing calmed down, she was in a very good mood.

There are no servants at home now, and her fourth uncle has gone out again, so she plans to cook for herself.

When you enter the small kitchen, you'll find grains, oils, rice, noodles, fruits, vegetables, and meat.

"Hmm, I'll have some millet and yam porridge, and a few side dishes!"

Grandpa Bai has a sensitive stomach, so he drinks this in the morning to soothe it.

After rinsing the rice, light the coal stove, place the clay pot on it, pour in the rice and water, and slowly cook it.

Take out the yam, peel and wash it, and cut it into small pieces. When the porridge is almost cooked, add the yam.

Simmer over low heat.

The thick millet porridge slowly simmered and released its fragrant aroma.

The side dishes were ready, and the old man came in, drawn by the aroma.

"Oh, why is Nannan making breakfast today? Where's your fourth uncle?"

Bai Yajing turned her head and saw him. "Grandpa, wash your hands, it's time to eat breakfast."

My fourth uncle went out early this morning to run some errands; I'll tell you the details later.

Grandpa Bai was also busy, wiping the table, setting out bowls and chopsticks, and serving porridge.

"Grandpa, you have a sensitive stomach. Drinking this millet and yam porridge regularly can help regulate your digestive system."

Grandpa Bai's eyes reddened; he was deeply moved.

Of all his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, this girl cares about him the most.

In previous years, I often sent him mountain produce and wild game.

"Alright, Grandpa will drink. You drink too, eat more, you're too thin, your little face is so sallow."

Although some people couldn't understand it, with the money he sent for food every year and the Kang family's own circumstances, his granddaughter shouldn't be eating or dressing poorly.

But her sallow complexion was indeed caused by malnutrition.

When Bai Yajing heard him mention this, she almost spat out the porridge in her mouth.

Fearing he might overthink and worry, she quickly explained, "Grandpa, I'm fair-skinned! It's my grandma who's worried that I, a girl, will be targeted when I go out alone."

So they applied some medicine to it, and it all fell off in a month. See?

As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves to show him.

The palms and arms are clearly two different colors! One side is sallow, while the other is fair and tender.

Grandpa Bai nodded repeatedly, "That's indeed the case! My in-laws are very thoughtful!"

He was genuinely shocked to learn that she had come to the provincial capital alone, so it was normal for the Kang couple to be worried.

The grandmother and granddaughter ate and chatted. Bai Yajing told him about what happened yesterday and also about her plans with Uncle Bai.
