The family lived a simple yet happy life together. Xu Wei, on the other hand, doted on her little grandchildren every day.
Bai Yajing already knows that her godmother's house has been allocated.
Pei An took a day off to accompany his godmother to buy things, and when he heard the news, he also went along.
He knew many people in Kyoto, but after so many years, he was afraid of becoming estranged, so he went around to different places over the past two days.
With the Pei family as his backing, and his own hard work, those connections were easily established. While things weren't quite the same as before, they were at least on the surface.
Therefore, he can find many things that are not available on the market.
I took the mother and daughter with me on the way to see it.
"Comrade Xu, the sofas and beds at this store are excellent. They are in high demand and hard to find; you can't buy them anywhere else."
Xu Wei didn't really understand these things; she just thought they were functional. But Pei An was very enthusiastic, and her daughter also said she wanted her to be comfortable. She thought, what if her daughter, son-in-law, and two grandchildren came back to stay someday and she wasn't comfortable?
"Alright, then I'll trouble you, Pei An."
Pei An was overjoyed to hear her thank you; he was so happy that the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.
Bai Yajing looked suspiciously at the two people walking ahead, sensing that something was off about Pei An...
"Tsk tsk tsk... that look he's giving my mom isn't quite right..."
"No, I have to keep an eye on it."
My godmother has dedicated her life to scientific research, and apart from her uncle, she has never been interested in anything romantic. She is very innocent when it comes to matters of the heart, so we can't let her be deceived by anyone.
Only if Pei An is a good person can she feel at ease.
Once she understood, she immediately ran over and grabbed her godmother's arm.
"Godmother, let me help you choose."
Xu Wei patted her hand with a smile, "Okay, okay, I plan to make two rooms for my two little grandchildren, the kind that are connected. I need to carefully choose the furniture, such as beds, bookshelves, desks and such."
Bai Yajing happily agreed.
The two little ones haven't even started sleeping in separate rooms from the adults yet, but they already have their own rooms in three different places.
By the end of the day, almost everything had been ordered.
Pei An took the mother and daughter back to the Ministry of State Security's family compound.
"Godmother, you're going to work tomorrow. I'm worried about you living alone there. There's no one to cook you a hot meal. Why don't you come back here after work? The research institute isn't far from here anyway."
"When you get home, your little grandson will keep you company, and there will be a hot meal waiting for you."
She really couldn't bear to see her living alone in a cold, empty house.
Xu Wei knew her filial piety, but she didn't completely agree. "My job is irregular, with no fixed schedule. If I live here, my parents will have to worry more about me. They are getting old, and it will be very hard for them."
However, I promise you, I'll come back to your place every day I get off work on time, okay? Besides, meals are the easiest thing to solve; the research institute has cafeterias for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.”
Bai Yajing was somewhat disappointed, but she respected her opinion.
"Okay, then godmother, let me know if you come back to my place. I'll definitely get off work earlier than you, and I'll come pick you up then."
"Okay, okay."
The mother and daughter chatted for a while longer. Bai Yajing thought of Pei An and considered whether to remind her godmother, but then she thought that it was best for outsiders not to interfere in the affairs between the two of them, so she swallowed her words.
She should observe from the shadows.
