Afterwards, Xiao Che took gifts to Bai Yajing's house, and the gifts for the Kang family were naturally more substantial.
Upon arriving at the door, he was unusually reserved, as this was his first formal visit to Bai Yajing's family. The thought made him nervous.
He tugged at his clothes again and again, ran his fingers through his hair, took several deep breaths to compose himself, and then smiled and knocked on the door.
A response came quickly from inside: "Who is it? Coming!"
When Grandpa opened the door, he saw a tall, handsome young man with a face that showed eight big teeth.
"Grandpa Kang, hello. I am Xiao Zhengyue's grandson. My name is Xiao Che. I am a sent-down youth in Xinghua Village."
After listening to his introduction, the grandfather realized that he was the grandson of the Xiao family, whom he had never met before. He was surprised to see him here.
However, he quite admired the young man; he knew when to step back gracefully, a wise man cutting off his own arm to give up years of hard work and come to the countryside to take care of his family. He was a kind and righteous young man.
"Haha, it's you! Come in quickly! Oh dear, why did you bring so much stuff? You should take care of yourself first, I don't need anything!"
He said this with a satisfied smile on his face; this young man knew how to be grateful. Hmm, not bad, not bad.
The two entered the room chatting and laughing.
When Xiao Che came in, he saw his grandmother sitting in a rocking chair in the sun. She got up when she saw him coming.
"The Xiao family boy is here? Why don't you stay for lunch? Ya Jing just made dumplings this morning, let's eat together."
Grandma smiled kindly; like Grandpa Kang, she had a good impression of Xiao Che. Now that she no longer needed to see patients at the clinic, she could finally relax and enjoy her retirement.
Xiao Che put down the gift in his hand and quickly went to help her. "Grandma Xiang, take it easy. It's just in time. I'll show you my skills at noon."
This is the perfect opportunity to make a good impression on his elders, so he has to seize it.
"Haha, that's great! How about this, we'll invite Ya Jing and Grandpa Bai back for lunch too, it'll be lively!"
From the moment Xiao Che entered the house, he was constantly busy, chopping wood, fetching water, and cooking. The two elders couldn't stop him.
"Oh dear, you're a guest, how can I let you do these things? Please sit down, have some tea, and have something to eat."
"Grandma Xiang, it's alright. I'm strong and healthy, and I'm at the perfect age to work. You all sit down, and I'll chat with you."
He was extremely busy, but while working, he also chatted with the elderly couple to get closer to them.
The Kang couple exchanged a glance.
Grandma: What happened?
Grandpa Kang: Is this kid thanking our family for taking care of them? Oh dear, what a filial and polite child!
Grandma: Really? Something doesn't feel right.
Regardless of what the two elders thought, Xiao Che never stopped working.
He would escort his grandmother out of the kitchen when she went in to cook.
Even his grandfather, who was in charge of the fire, was sent away by him.
The two elderly people could only look at each other in bewilderment.
"How about we go and call some people to eat?"
“Okay, my name is Nannan, and you call Grandpa Bai and his son.”
The two went to the clinic and the room next door, respectively.
Just then, I saw Bai Yunshu and his son coming over as I went out.
"I've heard a lot of noise coming from your yard. Have you had some guests?" Old Master Bai stuffed the snacks he had brought for them into Old Master Kang's arms and asked suspiciously.
When Grandpa Kang mentioned Xiao Che, a smile appeared on his face. "It's the Kang family boy who came to express his gratitude. Since you're here, let's have lunch together. Come on."
"Haha, that's great! We haven't had a drink in ages. Here's what we'll do, Fourth Brother, go back and get that bottle I've been saving..."
As he spoke, he gestured as if he were drinking.
