Yan Ci's eyes reddened, and he accused her with grievance:

"Honey, are you thinking of abandoning me now that you haven't found Mom and Dad?"

Bai Xiaoyue couldn't bear to see Yan Ci sad, so she immediately said, "A-Ci, how could that be? You are the most important person in my heart."

Yan Ci: "What do you mean it's impossible? That's exactly what you did."

Bai Xiaoyue suddenly opened her eyes wide: "Aci, do I have an incurable disease?"

Yan Ci quickly covered his wife's mouth: "Nonsense."

Bai Xiaoyue pulled down Yan Ci's hand and asked, "What illness do I have? Didn't Grandpa Cui say it was nothing?"

Yan Ci: "If you are burdened with worries, you may fall seriously ill."

Bai Xiaoyue breathed a sigh of relief:

"What kind of illness is this? Aci, don't worry, I'm perfectly fine. I'll go out with you for a walk tomorrow to clear your head."

Yan Ci wanted to say something more, but Bai Xiaoyue had already drifted off to sleep again, so he held his wife tightly in his arms.

The next day, Bai Xiaoyue ate breakfast, took her medicine, and then dragged Yan Ci out.

The two walked to the Summer Palace, strolled through the royal gardens, looked at Kunming Lake, and only went home when they were tired.

Perhaps due to excessive physical exertion, Bai Xiaoyue ate a bowl of rice in the evening and asked for more. Yan Ci was very happy and gave her half a bowl of rice.

After the meal, Bai Xiaoyue said she was full, so Yan Ci accompanied her for a walk.

After walking around a few times, she started to act spoiled and asked Yan Ci to carry her on his back. Without saying a word, Yan Ci carried her around the yard.

No matter how much Bai Xiaoyue caused trouble, Yan Ci was always happy. The fact that his wife had the energy to cause trouble meant that there was nothing wrong with her body.

Perhaps they were exhausted from all the commotion, because they both slept soundly through the night.

Bai Xiaoyue got up, ate breakfast, and was about to go out again. Yan Ci followed her, and the two wandered around aimlessly.

I saw Chang Le, Cui Yu, and Xiao Bai setting up a stall. Chang Le and Xiao Bai were the ones selling, while Cui Yu packed the clothes and collected the money.

Bai Xiaoyue and Yan Ci didn't disturb them, and stood there watching for a long time.

The two silently returned home, and Bai Xiaoyue said:

“Aci, it’s tough for these kids to be exposed to the wind and sun like this. It would be better to find a store.”

Yan Ci nodded: "After you finish processing this batch of goods, have Chang Le go to the store, and have Chang Xing and Yan Xiaosong guard it."

School starts soon, and they won't have time.

Bai Xiaoyue was somewhat worried:

"To open a shop, you need a stable source of goods and to frequently go to get them. Chang Le doesn't have that much time!"

She has to support Changxing and Ruyi, and now there's also Xiaosong and Aunt Yan.

So many people need to eat! My dear Chang Le!

Yan Ci said, "Wife, let's go to the south, where the winters aren't cold."

"You can help Chang Le choose clothes and send them to Beijing, so she won't have to travel back and forth."

Bai Xiaoyue asked, "Aci, do you mean you want to live in the south permanently?"

Yan Ci asked, "Do you want to go?"

Bai Xiaoyue blinked and said with a smile:

"Wherever Aci goes, I will go. I'll follow her wherever she goes. If I marry Aci, I'll travel the world."

Yan Ci whispered, "At the end of the year, we'll exchange our gold for money and then go south."

Bai Xiaoyue nodded: "Okay."

Her good mood only lasted until after the meal. When Yan Ci brought over the bowl of medicine, her mood immediately soured.

"Aci, I'm all better now, I don't need to take the medicine anymore."

Yan Ci remained silent, simply watching quietly.

Bai Xiaoyue had no choice but to pick up the medicine bowl, and with a bitter face, gulp it down in one go.

She was unhappy, so she hugged Yan Ci's head and kissed his lips, letting him experience how bitter the Chinese medicine was.

Yan Ci didn't mind at all and hugged his wife back with a kiss.

He kissed his wife until she was breathless before letting go: "Wife, are you satisfied now?"

Bai Xiaoyue hummed twice, making Yan Ci laugh.

Yan Ci thought his radiant wife was wonderful.

Time flies, school is about to start, and Chang Le's clothes are all sold out.

Only some samples were kept for Ruyi to imitate, so that Changxing and Yan Xiaosong could also sell clothes.

Two days before the two were to leave, Chang Le brought over a bag.

She excitedly told the two of them:

"Mom, Uncle Yan, the clothes are all sold out. Here's 10,000 yuan to return to you. I still need to use the rest of the money."

Bai Xiaoyue looked at her daughter, whose skin had become a little tanned and whose eyes were sparkling.

With concern, she asked, "Changle, are you tired?"

Chang Le: "Mom, it's tough, but I can make money! My 13,000 is now 30,000."

Bai Xiaoyue rubbed her daughter's head:

"Chang Le, you have so many people helping you now, so don't be careless."

“Mom, I know, they each got a thousand yuan, including Xiaobai and An'an.”

Bai Xiaoyue pushed the bag to her daughter:

"Changle, keep this 10,000 yuan. Your Uncle Yan and I don't need it for the time being."

"Take some time to find a shop and hire someone to look after it. You should focus more on your studies."

Chang Le: "Mom, Uncle Yan, don't worry, I've been studying hard. I'll keep this money and give it to you later."

Yan Ci nodded. Bai Xiaoyue instructed her daughter:

"It's safer to deposit money that you don't need right now in the bank."

Chang Le thought for a moment and then took out a stack of money and handed it to Bai Xiaoyue:

“Mom, this isn’t to return; it’s a gift for you and Uncle Yan.”

Bai Xiaoyue didn't refuse; she had to accept the child's filial piety.

Chang Le had just left when Xiao Bai arrived.

He also took out a wad of cash and handed it to Bai Xiaoyue:

"Mom, here you go. This is the money my sister gave me for helping me sell clothes this summer."

Bai Xiaoyue gazed at her son, who had grown from a tiny little boy into a grown man, almost as tall as Yan Ci.

"Xiaobai, Mom and Dad don't need much money, you can keep it for yourself."

Xiaobai insists:

"Mom, I haven't used the money you gave me when I was in school last year. My sister also gives me some money, which I save."

This is the first time our son has earned money; you should keep it.

"Wouldn't it be great if you could think of me every time you spend money?" he said, grinning broadly.

Bai Xiaoyue felt that she was easily moved to tears, and tears were about to well up in her eyes.

Yan Ci patted his son on the shoulder: "Good job, Xiao Bai."

Looking at the father and son who looked so alike, Bai Xiaoyue secretly wiped away her tears.

As long as these two are there, it doesn't matter where you come from; just keep the people and events of your past life in your heart.

There are already the people I love most here, so why dwell on the past?

At that moment, all the knots in her heart were gone, and even her breathing became lighter.

After Xiaobai left, Bai Xiaoyue counted the money with a smile. Chang Le gave her 500 yuan, and Xiaobai gave her 1,000 yuan.

She hummed a song happily as she carefully put the money away.

Yan Ci joked, "You're so happy just because the kid gave you money!"

Bai Xiaoyue couldn't hide her joy:

"Of course! Growing from a little kid into an adult and now being able to earn money, isn't that something to be happy about?"

Yan Ci felt that his wife must love money, so he should earn more money to make her happy.

The next day, he took his wife to the Cui family and asked Old Master Cui to take his pulse.

Grandpa Cui repeatedly assured that Bai Xiaoyue's health was fine.

Yan Ci became even more certain of his guess: it was because his son gave his wife money, and his wife was happy and her health improved.
