The result was that his head was soaked, his clothes were wide open, revealing his well-defined muscles underneath...
His hands trembled; he wanted to button up his shirt, but subconsciously felt it was perfectly fine left open. He was caught in a dilemma, unsure whether to button it up or not, and was quite flustered for a moment…
Bai Yajing couldn't help but burst out laughing.
She wasn't shy at all, so why is this guy getting shy all the time?
"Get dressed and quickly dry your hair, or you'll catch a cold."
Xiao Che was unusually obedient this time and quickly let the person in.
"Please come in and sit down for a while, I'll be right there."
Bai Yajing went inside, and then Grandpa Xiao, Mr. Xiao, and Mrs. Xiao came out to invite her to sit down and have some tea.
Bai Yajing suppressed a smile and chatted with them.
She just saw it all; those three heads were hiding behind the main hall door, peeking over here.
"Grandpa Xiao, Uncle Xiao, Aunt Xiao, my maternal grandparents and paternal grandfather asked me to come and invite you to my house for the New Year."
The more people, the more lively it will be. The family has already started preparing the meal. Once Xiao Che is ready, let's call Grandpa Niu and his grandson, and then we'll leave."
Grandpa Xiao was happy to spend the New Year with them. He nodded in agreement repeatedly and even volunteered to call Grandpa Niu and his grandson.
"I'll go call my old neighbor next door, let's go together!"
Xiao's mother is quite meticulous, and she was still a little worried.
"Ya Jing, is this really okay? Won't it cause you any trouble?"
Bai Yajing knew what she was worried about. She smiled and waved her hand, "Auntie, don't worry, the people of Xinghua Village won't report you. Most of them are soldiers or military dependents, and they all have great respect for your family."
Besides, it's Chinese New Year today, and city dwellers wouldn't be so bored as to come to the countryside.
Only after hearing this did Xiao's mother feel relieved. She was truly afraid of being a burden to Bai Yajing.
Mr. Xiao comforted her while chatting with Bai Yajing.
He is very knowledgeable and his conversations are always pleasant. He can answer any question you ask.
When Xiao Che arrived, Grandpa Niu and his grandson also joined him.
Grandpa Niu was carrying a basket filled with vegetables he had grown and eggs he had collected.
"Haha, Ya Jing, I've bothered you again this year!"
The grandfather and grandson received a lot of care from the village, especially the Kang couple.
During the Chinese New Year, I mostly visit Bai Yajing's home, and sometimes I visit other homes as well.
"Grandpa Niu, we can't be so polite! Niuwa, come on, let's go back and have some candy!"
"Let's all go together, Grandpa and Grandma are waiting."
"Okay, I'll grab my things and go." Xiao Che took the prepared prey and followed along.
Niuwa glanced timidly at the Kang family members, but when he faced the familiar older sister, he still reached out his hand.
The group returned to the Kang family's courtyard in a lively atmosphere.
"You're here? Come in quickly! Have a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up!"
"Hey! You're here all of a sudden, no need to be so polite! And you brought so much stuff!"
The elderly people exchanged warm greetings.
Xiao Che took the initiative to go to the kitchen, prepare the prey, and help Uncle Bai.
After settling everyone in, Bai Yajing went to the kitchen to help.
With so many people to eat, cooking must be quite a task. Her participation helps to ease their burden.
The adults chatted, but Niuwa couldn't understand, so he simply followed behind like a little tail, helping them carry things and pick vegetables. He was so well-behaved and sensible that it broke your heart.
Bai Yajing knew that this child would feel uneasy if she didn't let him do something, so she simply taught him while she was busy.
The elders outside didn't sit for long before coming into the yard to help peel garlic and wash vegetables, which didn't interfere with their conversation.
