Having lived in the port city for so many years, they were quite quick to find people.
"Dad! Dad! You're finally back!! I was afraid I'd never see you again in my life!"
As soon as Bai Laoda saw the old man, he exaggeratedly rushed to his legs, hugged the old man's thighs, and cried and wailed.
He finally understood the old man's past hardships and exhaustion. There was no capable son or grandson in the family, and he had to shoulder the burden. How could he not be tired?
"Now that you're back, we're saved!! Waaaaaah..."
Bai Zhigang rubbed his forehead, feeling that his father was a bit of a disgrace.
However, her gaze towards the old man was filled with expectation: "Grandpa, you have no idea how hard it was for us when we came here on our own after you got off the ship!"
At first, the people here took care of them out of respect for the old man, but after the older generation passed away and the younger generation took charge, they haven't had a single day of peace since!
The father and son tearfully recounted their recent situation to the old man.
The noise gave the old man a splitting headache.
"Alright, alright! You're all grown up now! You're a grandfather and a father, stop crying like this, what kind of behavior is this?"
Then voices came from outside the door again.
The visitors were none other than Old Master Wang, accompanied by his eldest son and fifth daughter.
He rushed over excitedly, "Brother Bai!! I'm so sorry!!"
"This good-for-nothing looks down on people and thinks you are one of my relatives from my hometown!"
"I've already taught her a lesson!" he said, turning to glare at Wang Wu. "You idiot! Come here and apologize to your Uncle Bai!"
Wang Wu trembled at his glare and hurriedly leaned closer, bowing deeply to Old Master Bai. "Uncle Bai, I'm so sorry. It's all my fault for being careless and failing to recognize your greatness. Please don't hold it against a fool like me, and don't upset yourself..."
Grandpa Bai didn't speak, as if he hadn't heard her apologizing to him.
The Bai father and son looked at each other, only then remembering what Wang Lao Er had said when he came to their house.
Seeing this, Grandpa Wang quickly smiled and tried to smooth things over, "Brother Bai, you must have had a long journey. Is this your granddaughter you've been talking about? Oh my, she's grown so much... Brother, you look to be in good spirits!"
Old Master Bai gave his former friend a rather complicated look, but finally chuckled and replied, "Thanks to you, everything is fine."
As they chatted, Bai Yajing brought over tea made by the two children.
Boss Bai warmly accepted the tea offered by Bai Yajing, but his actions were clearly perfunctory, and his gaze quickly swept over her simple attire and outstanding appearance.
He sighed inwardly, thinking that she looked exactly like his younger brother and sister-in-law.
"You must be Ya Jing? This is the first time your uncle has met you!"
I came in a hurry and didn't prepare any gifts, but please take this and play with it!
After saying that, he took off a string of sandalwood beads from his hand and placed it in her hand.
He knew very well how much the old man valued this granddaughter.
Bai Yajing smiled faintly and accepted his gift, saying, "Thank you, Uncle!"
"Okay, okay."
Bai Zhigang didn't really like his cousin. In his heart, Bai Yazhu was the treasure they cherished. He wondered how Yazhu was doing now.
I'll have to ask Grandpa about it later.
Thinking of Bai Yajing reminds me of her younger brother, Bai Zhijun. He disagreed with what they did, but he was forced by the elders in the family and had no choice. I wonder if Yazhu will blame them when she finds out...
He was lost in his own world and didn't even see his father giving him a meaningful look, which made his eyes twitch!
