The meal was a pleasant one for both the host and guests. After the meal, Secretary Wu and several leaders accompanied the Xiao family back to their original military compound.
The Xiao family's original courtyard has been returned, and Xiao Che has already cleaned and settled it in. It's just waiting for the person to return so they can move in.
Bai Yajing stayed at home to take care of her maternal grandparents, paternal grandfather, and uncle.
The group helped each other clean up the dishes, chopsticks, tables, and chairs.
By the time they sat down, the three elderly people already looked tired.
Bai Yajing coaxed them to go and rest, saying, "I've cleaned the room and aired out the bedding. Grandpa, Grandma, and Grandpa, you must be tired from your journey. Go and rest for a while."
Grandpa and Grandma Bai were all overjoyed, feeling incredibly comforted as they looked at the room she had prepared.
"Okay, okay, that's so kind of you! You should go and rest too."
"good."
After seeing the three of them into their respective rooms, Bai Yajing returned to the lobby.
Bai Yunshu was brewing tea, already waiting for her.
"Uncle, aren't you going to rest for a while?"
Bai Yunshu shook his head to indicate that there was no rush, and then turned to hand her a large package.
"These are from your girlfriends and aunties in the village. They heard you were getting married and asked us to bring them to you. Oh, and there's also a letter from Comrade Liu, and her wedding gift for you."
"Everyone is very sorry that we couldn't attend your wedding, but we all send our best wishes. We hope you have a happy marriage, a long and happy life together, and everything goes well for you."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yajing's eyes immediately welled up with tears. She carefully unwrapped the package.
Inside were red double happiness pillowcases, pairs of enamel mugs, and bright red quilt covers, among other gifts that the bride's family would give her to bring her joy. These were things that were hard to buy on a regular basis, and it was probably prepared by each family together.
There was also a separate small package inside. Inside was a letter, and underneath was a beautiful red, high-quality silk scarf—a color that's hard to find. It was clearly prepared with care.
She hasn't looked at the letter yet, so I'll keep it for now.
"That's wonderful, I've received everyone's kind wishes." She also regretted not being able to hold a banquet in Xinghua Village, but they couldn't go back now...
Seeing that she liked it, Bai Yunshu smiled and then changed the subject to other things.
"How's that project in Northwest China going? Where was it at when you were there?"
Bai Yajing was taken aback upon hearing this, and asked hesitantly, "Uncle? How did you find out about this?"
She didn't tell her uncle about this, and Xiao Che wouldn't have told her without her permission!
The handsome man shrugged helplessly. "The old dean called and said the Northwest Research Institute has contacted him and hopes I can come over. You know, I successfully completed that project at the Kyoto Research Institute before; it's not a secret in their circle."
So, without Yin Zhi, they thought of me…”
Bai Yajing understood immediately upon hearing this. It seemed that even without them, her uncle still couldn't escape this matter.
"Uncle, Yin Zhi is Xiao Che's undercover agent. He mentioned it to me before, wanting you to take over, but I didn't agree... I was afraid..."
The little girl's face was full of worry and resistance.
Bai Yunshu felt a warmth in his heart, got up and sat down next to her, rubbed her head and gently comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Nannan, we are not people who can be bullied by others now. Besides, we have that old man and Xiao Che with us."
