Everyone looked at them, and some even secretly hoped that Chen Bingrui would cause a scene in the lab so they could see the excitement firsthand.
Unfortunately, the two passed each other without saying a word.
Several students whispered among themselves: "Have you heard? Bai Jiaojiao got in through connections. Teacher Chen offended her, and I doubt any hospital will dare to hire him in the future."
"Everyone in the school knows that Bai Jiaojiao is actually Yang Fu's granddaughter. Our teacher Ji must know their family, otherwise, would she have called Bai Jiaojiao to the lab so early on?"
"Teacher Chen has really messed with the tiger this time. He deserves it. It's one thing for him to act tough with us normally, but when he tried to do it to Bai Jiaojiao, she's not going to put up with it!"
What are you talking about?
Ji Guizhang came in from outside and heard a group of students talking about Bai Jiaojiao and Chen Bingrui.
Upon seeing Ji Guizhang's cold face, everyone immediately shut up and lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.
Ji Guizhang said sternly, "Now that you're in the lab, focus on what you're doing. If you want to chat, please leave. Don't let me catch you doing it again."
Chen Bingrui and his undergraduate student Feng Zhi had a huge impact on the laboratory. Ji Guizhang also had to be punished for poor management. Not to mention how other laboratories would view them. Because of this incident, the school's regulations for applying for controlled reagents became much stricter, which drew a lot of complaints.
Ji Guizhang was already annoyed when he returned to the lab and saw his students still there, seemingly eager to stir up trouble. He couldn't help but get angry.
However, with this matter settled, Bai Jiaojiao could finally relax.
Li Shuxian has already reported for duty. Because of the Yang family's connections, the department arranged a small apartment for them, which is only for cadres. It has two bedrooms and two living rooms, and the two of them live together quite comfortably. However, they have a son and a daughter, and it's unclear how they will arrange accommodations if they are brought over.
Li Shuxian was very satisfied with this. He had a place to stay in the city and a proper job, a life he never dared to dream of before.
Bai Shiqing is currently unemployed. Every morning, after sending Li Shuxian to work, she rushes to Bai Jiaojiao's house to keep her company.
With Bai Shiqing around, it became much easier for Bai Jiaojiao to get something to eat or drink.
Before Shen Heng knew it, school had started, and Bai Jiaojiao's belly was slowly growing bigger. It would have been really difficult without Bai Shiqing.
Shen Heng bought a crucian carp in the morning and put it in a basin in the yard before going to class. When Bai Shiqing came over, she started thinking about how to clean the crucian carp.
"Sis, why don't you buy a bicycle too? It'll be more convenient for getting around."
“Why buy anything? It’ll get colder in a couple of days. I’m afraid I’ll fall off my bike! Anyway, there’s only one bus stop. I can walk there in a couple of steps. It would take me half an hour to pedal my bike.”
Bai Shiqing used to rely on her own two legs to go anywhere. Before the road was built in the village, it would take four or five hours to walk from Shili Village to the town. Has she not walked yet?
"Why don't you talk to your brother-in-law and wait until my pregnancy is a little further along, then you can come and stay with me for a couple of days?"
Bai Jiaojiao couldn't persuade Bai Shiqing to stay and take care of her. But if it was the dead of winter and Bai Shiqing was still going back and forth between the two places, Bai Jiaojiao really couldn't bear it.
Bai Shiqing nodded: "What you said makes sense. Your brother-in-law eats in the cafeteria anyway, and his cafeteria provides three meals a day, so it's fine if I'm not there. Let me discuss it with him again."
Bai Jiaojiao touched her belly: "Sister, when are you planning to bring Yangyang and Xiaoyun over?"
“We originally planned to bring the child here as soon as we settled in, but now it seems we can’t take care of him even if we bring him here. It’s better to leave him in the countryside. My mother does light work in the production team and can take care of the child.”
Speaking of her children, Bai Shiqing also missed them a little, but she went to the daycare center to ask, and the youngest child there was already four years old.
Bai Jiaojiao said, "Sister, my neighbor Sister Meng is actually a nice person. If you don't mind, you can let her take care of Yangyang and Xiaoyun. Her husband is a worker, and she usually just stays at home to take care of the children. Whether it's two children or four, we can give her some money for her hard work. I think she would be willing."
As a mother, Bai Shiqing naturally wants her child to be by her side.
"Will this work? I don't know her well. Is she really a good person? Yangyang and Xiaoyun are still young. If they are bullied, they won't be able to explain themselves. I'm a little worried."
Bai Shiqing and Meng Hongmei barely met; they didn't have much contact. Bai Shiqing was very cautious and didn't dare to easily entrust her child to Meng Hongmei.
Bai Jiaojiao said, "Sister, she lives right in front of my house. Heng and I pass by her house every day on our way to and from school. Even if she wanted to abuse the children, she would have to think twice about whether we would run into her. If you are really worried, we can come back to pick up Yangyang and Xiaoyun for lunch from now on."
Bai Shiqing came to take care of her, and Bai Jiaojiao wasn't afraid of this little trouble; otherwise, how could they be called sisters?
Bai Shiqing thought for a while and felt that this matter was promising: "We can ask her first. If she is willing, I will bring Yangyang and Xiaoyun over. Anyway, I plan to go back to work after the New Year next year. I can take care of you here while I take care of them myself. After the New Year, they will be three years old. At most, Sister Meng can take care of them for half a year, and then I will send them to a nursery."
"I think it's a good idea."
"Okay, let's do it that way."
Every night, Bai Shiqing misses her children terribly. Although she knows her mother-in-law won't mistreat them, the children are still so young. The thought of them not being able to grow up in front of her makes Bai Shiqing feel like her heart is being torn apart.
