Each person who came would whisper a few words of advice, telling them to take care of themselves.
The ceremony was simple yet solemn.
Mr. Xiao personally wrote a eulogy, which was published in the Kyoto Daily News.
After the ceremony, Mr. Xiao was buried here, resting in peace alongside his comrades who had fought alongside him.
...
Everyone was heavy-hearted. After the old man's passing, Xiao Yanqing grew up quickly and trained even harder, spending every day training in addition to his academic classes.
"Dad! I want to apply to the Jinling Military Academy!"
Xiao Che nodded upon hearing this, without the slightest surprise. They were all raised by the old man, and their beliefs and goals were aligned.
He patted his son's still somewhat immature shoulder and said, "I know, then you'd better work hard! I graduated from there myself, and they don't take in useless people!"
Xiao Yanqing grinned, "Dad, I won't lose to you!"
The father and son looked at each other and smiled, reaching a consensus.
Jingxing and Jinyu went back to school after the old man's seven-day mourning period ended.
Everything seemed to have returned to calm, but they still remembered the old man's voice and smile.
Although Old Master Xiao has passed away, the goodwill he left behind remains. Moreover, Xiao Che is now the pillar of the Xiao family. Although he is no longer in the military, he still holds a position of real power and his influence should not be underestimated.
They can definitely hold out until Xiao Yanqing grows up and takes over the Xiao family.
Mr. Qian is now semi-retired. He is now focusing on editing and publishing books, while Bai Yajing is in charge of the hospital affairs.
She'll be promoted to dean once she successfully adapts after the transition period.
She performed three surgeries today and was so exhausted that she could barely straighten her back.
He rubbed his back as he returned to his office, sighing, "Ugh! Getting old!"
Her sigh was heard by Zhou Lin as he entered the room.
He shook his head, both amused and exasperated. "Master, you're not even forty yet! What do you mean by old!"
"Hey! It's no problem! What brings you here? How's Huanhuan? Her body doesn't recover that quickly after giving birth, so she needs to rest."
Zhou Lin plopped down and grabbed an apple to eat.
“My wife is fine, it’s just that she doesn’t get enough rest at night because of breastfeeding, so she can only catch up on sleep during the day. My mom and I are taking care of her, so don’t worry, sir.”
"I came here today hoping you could help me out, hehehe..."
Bai Yajing raised an eyebrow. "Want some baby formula?"
He just mentioned that Lin Huan doesn't get enough rest because she has to breastfeed at night, so she roughly guessed that he wanted to ask her to buy baby formula.
"Yes, yes, that's it! The baby formula section in your department store sells out as soon as it gets restocked."
My mom and dad got up early to queue, but they still couldn't buy any! Sigh!
Bai Yajing chuckled. Ever since the successful pilot program at the Shanghai Department Store, the old man had opened one in Kyoto as well.
I didn't expect business to be so good. Not bad, it's a contribution to national tax revenue.
"Okay, I got it. I'll call the warehouse and reserve some for you next time it arrives!"
Zhou Lin was overjoyed to receive the answer he wanted.
"Thank you, sir! My wife can finally get a good night's rest!"
When the baby wakes up, they make the formula themselves and don't need to wake their wives up to feed the baby.
Bai Yajing was happy for the couple because of their good relationship.
Especially from what he said, his parents no longer had any prejudice against Huanhuan and had fully accepted her as their daughter-in-law.
It seems this kid did a lot of work on them, and with Huanhuan giving birth to a big, healthy boy, her in-laws' attitudes gradually improved.
"Don't mention it! I'll give it to you when it arrives!"
"Okay, I'm going to get busy! You take a break!"
After watching him leave, Bai Yajing slumped into her chair and closed her eyes to rest.
