She was very grateful for this, regardless of whether the other party did it out of duty or for other reasons, taking care of her mother was truly a good thing.
Madam Pei only learned about it after her husband mentioned it briefly.
She waved her hands repeatedly, "Oh, it's all what I should do! He's just doing his job, it's his duty to help the Ministry of State Security! I dare not take credit for it!"
"Pei An is the same, it's all what I should do! You're too kind! Hehehe..."
Although that's the logic, she was still very happy that the other party was so grateful.
"Pei An went out to buy groceries early this morning, and he's still busy in the kitchen right now, saying he's preparing some of his signature dishes to entertain guests!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Yajing's eyes darted around. Hmm? Uncle Pei isn't busy today? He's not at work?
Thinking of this, he glanced at his godmother, who was chatting happily with Grandma Pei, and immediately understood.
It's not that we're not busy, it's just that we have distinguished guests visiting today...
Sigh! Uncle Pei is really too honest. He hasn't let his godmother notice anything wrong all these years.
Everyone's here, and he's just sitting quietly in the kitchen, not even bothering to show his face...
Is this a plan to win people's hearts by winning their stomachs?
When it was time to eat, he finally came out of the kitchen, and bowls of steaming hot dishes were brought out, their aroma filling the air.
Hmm, it looks and smells delicious, quite impressive!
"Comrade Xu, Dr. Bai, come and sit down, it's time to eat! I'm going to find some clothes to change, they're all soaked with sweat."
On this sweltering day, he was covered in sweat from his busy work and decided to go upstairs to take a shower.
After saying that, he quickly went upstairs.
The mother and daughter chuckled, not even having a chance to say a word to him.
Madam Pei sighed, rubbing her forehead. With him being such a blockhead, when would she ever get to drink tea as a daughter-in-law? She was so worried!
"Hehehe, never mind him, let's take our seats and eat!"
Today, she sent everyone else out of the house, leaving just herself and her son to entertain guests. She was also worried that Bai Yajing and her daughter might feel uncomfortable.
Xu Wei and Bai Yajing were thinking of waiting for Pei An to arrive before starting the meal.
Madam Pei had already pulled them to their seats and placed a piece of braised pork in each of their bowls.
"Comrade Xu, Dr. Bai, you work so hard every day, eat more meat to nourish your bodies!"
Especially you, Comrade Xu, you're too thin, your immune system isn't strong, and the workload is high; your body won't be able to handle it in time!
Xu Wei felt her sincerity and relaxed a lot. After thanking her, she returned the favor by serving her soup.
"That's what my parents said too. Ever since I came back, they've been making me drink medicinal food every day, and my health is much better than before! It's just a matter of time before I recover."
She was an orphan; both her parents had died in the war. She grew up with the support of the military region and longed for family affection.
Fortunately, the Kang family filled the void of kinship she lacked.
She genuinely treated the Kang couple as her own parents, and Bai Yajing was no different from their biological daughter.
Madam Pei liked her very much and kept putting food on their plates.
Pei An came down and quietly served her soup and tea, taking care of her. He seemed very skilled at it, and it was obvious that this wasn't the first time.
Bai Yajing watched silently, becoming more and more certain that Uncle Pei liked her mother!
Grandma Pei was also very satisfied with her mother.
After she realized Pei An's intentions, she specifically went to her grandfather's place to inquire about him.
The two families have a long-standing and close relationship. The Pei family is a good family; they value relationships and loyalty, are honest and upright officials, and are responsible and just.
As for his first wife, she also died unexpectedly during childbirth, which led him to shut himself off and go to a secret base in the Northwest.
She finally overcame this ordeal and started a new life, so she felt there was nothing wrong with it.
However, when two people are together, it still depends on each other.
If the godmother isn't willing, they can't be together.
She supports whatever life her mother chooses to live. She takes care of her mother in her old age and in her final days.
