June has arrived in the blink of an eye, and the weather is already starting to get hot.
Fearing that her family members might suffer from heatstroke, Bai Yajing prepared herbal tea and brewed it herself.
I also sent some to the Xiao family, and to my godmother, Dean Xu, as well as to several of the hospital's cheap laborers.
My godmother now works at a research institute as the vice president, and coincidentally, her direct supervisor is my uncle's biological father, Dean Xu.
Bai Yajing always showed filial piety to her uncle during holidays by secretly sending him gifts.
He would often return the favor, which was a tacit understanding between them.
The only thing that worries Bai Yajing now is Xiao Che's side.
She was genuinely worried when no news came back for a long time.
She had heard a little from the old man that the situation over there wasn't good, with constant conflicts.
He refused to say anything more, even though she was family; it was a state secret.
Bai Yajing understood, but from the old man's attitude, she could tell that although Xiao Che was in a difficult situation, he was not in immediate danger.
This is also why she was able to stay safely in the rear.
I promised Grandma Pei I would visit her, and since I also need to have her go for a follow-up appointment, I decided to take advantage of the fact that my godmother and I both have the same day off and make a trip to the Pei family.
Pei An has now been transferred back to the Kyoto Military Region, and he is very busy.
This morning, upon hearing that Xu Wei and her daughter were coming to visit, I immediately took the vacation days I had been saving up.
Madam Pei watched with a mocking expression as her son changed outfit after outfit.
She couldn't help but tease her, "Oh, is this a beauty pageant? Like a peacock spreading its tail feathers to find a mate!"
Pei An blushed and decided not to change, sticking to the simple white shirt and black trousers he was wearing.
"Mom, please don't make fun of me..."
Madam Pei gave him a reproachful look, "Why are you dressed up so nicely? You coward, you don't even dare to pursue her!"
What a waste of his size!
Pei An felt as if an arrow had been inexplicably pierced his heart. Tsk, his mother's criticism was both deadly and damnably accurate!
"Well, we're out of good food at home, I'll go buy some."
Watching his hurried departure, Old Madam Pei simply couldn't bear to look!
"Coward!"
Pei An returned with groceries, and Bai Yajing and Xu Wei also arrived at Pei's house.
Madam Pei warmly invited the two of them into the house to sit down.
"I've been eagerly anticipating your arrival for so long!"
"Today, you're going to have a great time at my house!"
Xu Wei felt somewhat overwhelmed by her enthusiasm.
The main reason she agreed to come was because of Pei An; he hadn't been home for a long time, and she wanted him to go home and keep the elderly company.
Furthermore, while at the base, he was primarily responsible for the safety of his group and took good care of her, for which she was very grateful.
The two have known each other for many years and can be considered good friends.
She wouldn't refuse if her friend's mother invited her.
"Thank you so much for your kindness. My daughter and son-in-law have also caused you trouble, so thank you very much!"
Before she came, Bai Yajing told her about the relationship between the two families. When Xiao Che captured the enemy's leader, he asked the eldest son of the Pei family to hold off "Dong Guangming".
Mayor Pei's success in stalling him for so many days played a significant role in enabling Xiao Che to successfully complete his mission.
"Yes, Grandma Pei, we are so grateful for Uncle Pei's help last time!"
Furthermore, I should definitely visit Uncle Pei to express my gratitude after all these years of caring for my mother!
Her godmother told her about the situation there. Even though they were in a secret base, there were still many dangers. It was thanks to Pei An's team that they were able to conduct their research in peace.
