Xu Wei gave birth to a big, healthy baby boy, which made Grandma Pei and her family extremely happy.
Bai Yajing goes there every day to deliver food and drinks and look after the children.
The Pei family even hired "relatives from the countryside" to come and take care of them.
Grandma only needs to take care of Xu Wei at the Pei family's house.
Bai Jingxing and Kang Jinyu were admitted to the military region's Red Training Class as they wished.
Every day, Mrs. Xiao happily picks up and drops off her grandsons. With her doing this every day, the teachers there treat the two little ones very well.
They were also very likable and quickly became friends with the other kids inside.
Bai Yajing and Xiao Che are busy with work every day and don't have time to take care of things at home.
"Ah Che, let's hire someone like Grandma Pei and the others! Grandpa and Grandma on both sides are getting old, and we're not home during the day. I'm worried they might not be able to find anyone if something happens..."
Lin Huan, like her, spends all her days in the hospital.
Xiao Che had also thought about this matter after Lin Huan started working.
"I'll go look for it. I need to go back to my hometown soon anyway, so don't worry about it."
Bai Yajing was taken aback upon hearing this. "Back to your hometown? What happened?"
The Xiao family had been working hard for generations, but by Xiao Che's generation, they had basically lost contact with their hometown.
He whispered in Bai Yajing's ear, "A message came from our hometown: Third Uncle has passed away!"
Third Uncle was different from others. His son served in the army under Grandpa and saved Grandpa's life. After he died, Grandpa would send money to Third Uncle every year..."
“Now that he’s gone, and Grandpa can’t leave, I’ll go there on behalf of our family.”
Bai Yajing understood. "We should go! Do you need me to come along?"
Xiao Che waved his hand. "Your hospital is so busy. Isn't your sixth master retiring next year?"
He needs to train you to take over his position this year; you can't leave.
"It's okay, I'll go over there."
Bai Yajing asked the question casually, and since she didn't need to come along, she didn't insist.
She got up, put the child down, took out eight hundred yuan from the drawer, and stuffed it into his hand.
"You'll definitely need money to go there, here you go."
Xiao Che smiled and accepted it, saying, "Thank you, wife!"
He took the train back to his hometown the next day.
When I arrived at my hometown, the village chief came to pick me up.
We went to my third uncle's house, where many people were gathered in the main hall, making a lot of noise.
The village chief was in high spirits, and his shout could be heard both inside and outside the house.
"What's all the noise about? You're always arguing! Don't you have anything better to do? Get out of here and do what you're supposed to do!"
Once the crowd fell silent, no one dared to offend the village chief's authority, so they all shut their mouths and went off to get busy with their tasks.
Xiao Che carefully observed everyone, and everyone present saw him and looked puzzled.
Er Gouzi, a carefree and unruly fellow villager, approached with a grin and asked, "Hey, village chief, who's this?"
He looks all respectable, and his demeanor is...tsk tsk tsk.
Although Er Gouzi was a scoundrel, he had a good eye for people. This man looked unusual; if he could strike up a conversation, he might be able to get on his good side...
The village chief was incredibly annoyed with him, waving his hands around like he was shooing away a fly. "What are you asking, you little brat? Go home now! Or your mother will beat you!"
Er Gouzi knew he was angry, so he shut his mouth, but still pouted somewhat resentfully.
"Okay, okay, I'm going back now!"
There was no more excitement to be seen, and he had no interest in staying any longer.
After he left, the village chief led Xiao Che into the house.
Now, inside the house, only the daughter and a little girl, a few years old, are kneeling in front of the coffin, crying incessantly.
The village chief let out a long sigh.
"Yingzi, please accept my condolences and let your grandfather rest in peace. I will take care of things for you and your mother."
The woman raised her pale face; she was in her thirties, and her eyes were filled with sorrow. "Thank you, village chief..."
