Bai Yajing heard that her uncle had returned, and rushed home after work.
"Uncle, uncle, did you bring me the roast duck that Uncle Liao made?"
God knows how long she'd been craving it!!!
The Bai family originally owned a restaurant, and Uncle Liao was the son of the head chef there. However, with societal changes, the shops and restaurants all closed down, but the culinary skills remained.
Grandpa Bai arranged for those who had lost their jobs to work in the company's businesses. Although Uncle Liao no longer worked as a cook, he still often cooked and delivered food to the Bai family for Grandpa Bai and his family.
Bai Yajing had eaten it before, and it was delicious! This time, when her uncle went to the city, she repeatedly told him to remember to bring her roast duck.
Bai Yunshu shook his head and chuckled, "I brought them, as well as other pastries and snacks that you like. I visited those shops and asked them to make them for you."
When they heard it was something you wanted to eat, they made a lot overnight for me to bring back.
Bai Yajing is now the only heir of the Bai family in the country, so everyone subconsciously shows her some favoritism.
Upon hearing this, Bai Yajing's eyes lit up, and she felt her mouth watering.
"Oh my gosh, this is great! I've been craving it for so long!"
Bai Yunshu led the people to the main hall.
The table was now piled high with things.
"When you left, Tailor Li gave you a few dresses, and my grandfather and I also got some..."
Bai Yajing was deeply moved as she looked at the exquisite dress and clothes.
The clothes her grandfather sends her every year are made by the elderly people who still cherish old friendships with her. She likes them very much.
"Everyone is doing well, are they all in good health?"
"Yes, everything is fine. I've asked the managers of several factories to arrange benefits for their employees, including annual physical examinations for those who turn forty-five."
Bai Yajing smiled with satisfaction, knowing that her grandfather and uncle were both wonderful people.
Grandpa Bai is just returning from his walk outside.
"Yunshu, your aunt has introduced you to another girl. I've seen her, and she's quite nice—gentle, well-behaved, and a great cook!"
After saying that, the old man smacked his lips twice, clearly indicating that he was full.
Bai Yajing covered her forehead; Grandpa had really gone to great lengths to get her uncle married.
Bai Yunshu's face was full of helplessness.
"Grandpa, you know I don't want to get married, so don't go to other people's houses for meals next time."
The old man has really let himself go in the last year or two; he's getting more and more mischievous with age...
Fortunately, he knew his limits; after accepting food from others, he would send them food rations afterwards. After all, these days, every family has a hard time.
This is one of the reasons why the old man is so well-liked in the village. He is a kind person, knows his place, and often helps the elderly and children living alone in the village.
"Grandpa, don't worry about it. Uncle doesn't care about love or romance at all."
She was originally afraid that he would grow old alone, so she thought of trying to match him with Liu Meiling. But what happened?
He was far too rational, so she gave up. As long as her uncle was happy, that was all that mattered. After all, she would be there to rely on when he got old.
She wouldn't abandon her brother-in-law. He should just live according to his own wishes; she would support him.
Grandpa Bai immediately turned his head away, somewhat annoyed, ignoring the two troublesome juniors.
The uncle and nephew knew his temper, so they coaxed him for a while, like coaxing a child, until the old man finally cheered up again.
········
Bai Yunshu recounted everything that happened during her trip to the city, focusing particularly on her meeting with that man.
"Darling, what are you thinking? Don't feel pressured. If you don't want to go, then we won't go."
"Yes, Nannan, Xiao Che is very capable. He can handle things on his own."
