Everyone says that reading too much will turn you into a bookworm, but Bai Shiqing doesn't think Bai Jiaojiao will. Her little sister is very clever.
"Then you can make the call after you finish eating at the brigade headquarters. Once you've discussed it, I'll talk to my parents about it."
"Um."
Bai Jiaojiao was unaware that the Yang family had sent a telegram to Shili Village. After receiving Bai Shiqing's call, she thought that it must have been after Bai Jiaojiao told the Yang family about her pregnancy last weekend that the Yang family had sent a telegram to the Bai family.
"Sister, I would definitely recommend you come to Shili Village. Dad has difficulty walking, and there's nothing we can do about our brother staying at home. But brother-in-law is right, Grandpa will definitely make arrangements for our eldest brother. Besides, we're all sisters in the same family, and when we're doing well, we help each other out, don't we?"
With Bai Jiaojiao's words, Bai Shiqing nodded: "I was also worried at home. Although you have dropped out of school, your brother-in-law can't stay home with you all the time after school starts. Aunt Xiang said she would retire next year, but she hasn't done that yet. I can't rest easy with you all alone at home."
Bai Shiqing thought that if she went to Yancheng, she wouldn't go to work right away. She would wait until her sister gave birth before talking about going back to work. Wouldn't that be perfect?
"Sister, don't worry about me. I'm still in my early pregnancy and can move around on my own. Once you've discussed it with your husband and settled things at home, just let Grandpa know so he can come over."
"Yes, I'm mainly worried about my older brother. Now that you mention it, I think he should go."
"But sister, to be honest, Dad can't keep hiding from the Yang family. You haven't officially contacted the Yang family yet, have you?"
Bai Jiaojiao felt that some things needed to be said openly. Although the Yang family loved them because of their mother, they also had half of Bai Zhiman's blood flowing in their veins.
She wasn't doing this for any other reason than hoping that Bai Shiqing and the others would receive help from the Yang family without any resentment in the future.
"Well, Dad probably hasn't sorted out his feelings yet. To be honest, he did help Mom keep it a secret from the Yang family back then."
Bai Zhiman didn't contact the Yang family back then, let alone now.
If Bai Jiaojiao hadn't insisted on going to Yancheng and couldn't be stopped, Bai Zhiman would have planned to take this secret to see Yang An.
“Dad said that Mom threatened to kill herself back then, and he had no choice. You should try to persuade him, otherwise it won’t be good for him. Keeping it all bottled up inside can easily cause him problems.”
Bai Jiaojiao said.
Bai Zhiman already had difficulty moving around, and although he had a wheelchair, he still spent most of his time at home.
If you let your mind wander at home, it can be a real source of anxiety.
"I told my older brother the same thing. Well, I'll stay home and try to persuade Dad with him. No matter how well he can make it, at least we should call the Yang family. That would be an explanation for the Bai family!"
Bai Shiqing also felt that if the two families couldn't reach an agreement, she would be too ashamed to accept their favor.
Although he was my maternal grandfather, I had never met him before.
"Alright, phone calls are expensive. Take care of yourself over there. That's all for now, I'll hang up."
Bai Shiqing didn't want to waste money on the phone call, so after finishing her conversation with Bai Jiaojiao, she hurriedly hung up.
Bai Jiaojiao didn't even have time to say "goodbye." Bai Shiqing was always like this, so Bai Jiaojiao could only smile.
Bai Shiqing is right. It's summer vacation now, and Shen Heng can stay by her side every day. Summer vacation is about to end, and she's quite far along in her pregnancy. If her older sister could be by her side, it would definitely be much more convenient for her.
"Your sister said she's coming over?" Shen Hengguang was still unsure after hearing what Bai Jiaojiao said.
He brought over a bowl of chicken soup, which also contained the hazel mushrooms they had bought in Northeast China when they visited Bai Shibao last time.
"Yes, it was my maternal grandfather who sent a telegram to ask them. Now, only my uncle lives at my maternal grandfather's house. Maybe it's because he's an old man, but he likes his house to be lively and bustling."
Shen Heng, who was never serious, laughed and said, "Isn't that right? We suddenly have four more grandsons, and they're even bringing their great-grandsons along. How can it not be lively?"
Bai Jiaojiao said, "I just don't know if my dad can get over this. To be honest, it must be really hard for him to face."
“My father-in-law isn’t that kind of coward. If he really didn’t care about the children and just wanted to escape, he wouldn’t have said those things when you came to Yancheng to study.”
Shen Heng's words reminded Bai Jiaojiao of the time when she had just received her admission notice from Yancheng and Bai Zhiman mentioned the Yang family.
The implication was that if anything happened, they could try contacting the Yang family.
“You’re right. Even if it’s for us, my dad will stand up for himself.”
"Don't worry about that," Shen Heng said, handing the chicken soup to Bai Jiaojiao. "Have some more."
"Brother Heng, we've eaten several meals today."
Bai Jiaojiao felt as if she had just swallowed her dinner.
"Does this count as a meal? Just treat it as a snack and eat as much as you want."
Shen Heng pinched Bai Jiaojiao's cheek. "Hmm, you've gotten a little chubby lately."
Bai Jiaojiao remembered that she hadn't brought back a notebook from the lab. If she didn't go back for a year, someone would probably take it and lose it.
The next evening, when the weather was slightly cooler, Bai Jiaojiao went to the laboratory with Shen Heng.
When Guan Shengping saw Bai Jiaojiao and Shen Heng coming together, he said, "What, weren't you supposed to be home resting during your pregnancy? Why are you here?"
Inevitably, there will be some harmful reagents in the laboratory. Bai Jiaojiao and Ji Guizhang have agreed to continue the experiment after she gives birth.
"I have a notebook, come and take it back."
"Hey, this is such a small thing, you could have just asked someone to come and get it. Are you even allowed to walk around like this?"
Guan Shengping glanced at Bai Jiaojiao's stomach, but couldn't see anything.
Bai Jiaojiao said, "Senior brother, it's only a few steps to the lab. Why are you making this up?"
"Go find it quickly, no one should have touched it."
Guan Shengping saw Shen Heng outside the building entrance and knew that Bai Jiaojiao was anxious, so he didn't have a long talk with her.
Bai Jiaojiao put her notebook in the drawer under the lab table on the second floor. She took it out immediately and was about to leave.
Just then, Feng Zhi walked in. He glanced at Bai Jiaojiao and said, "Didn't you say you weren't coming back after dropping out of school?"
Bai Jiaojiao took a year and a half off from school. When she returned, Feng Zhi was also going to do an internship. Bai Jiaojiao already disliked this person and felt that it was a good thing to never see him again.
She ignored Feng Zhi and walked right past him.
Feng Zhi was ignored, as if Bai Jiaojiao had slapped him across the face, and said from behind, "What are you pretending for!"
Bai Jiaojiao was too lazy to waste her breath on him and nimbly went downstairs.
When Shen Heng saw Bai Jiaojiao pouting as she came out, he asked with a smile, "Why did you take so long? Who upset you?"
"That Feng Zhi is like a toad crawling on your foot, he doesn't bite but he's annoying. I don't even want to talk to him, but he still has to provoke me."
