Chapter 47: At this age, I probably don’t have many years left to live (1/2)



Mr. Bai exaggeratedly dodged and laughed at the same time.

Grandpa Bai bought two strings of candied haws for his granddaughter. He handed one to her to eat and held the other in her hand, watching her eat with a smile.

Bai Yalan put it to his mouth and let him eat first.

Mr. Bai was not pretentious. He opened his mouth, took a bite and held it in his mouth.

Then he heard his granddaughter happily ask him, "Grandpa, is it sweet?"

Mr. Bai smiled and nodded repeatedly, "Sweet, sweet!"

My granddaughter fed it herself, it's so sweet!

Bai Yalan smiled and took a bite. The sugar coating was crispy, the hawthorn was sour, and the candied haws was sour and sweet. It was really delicious!

While eating, she turned around and her eyes fell on something not far away, and suddenly stopped.

She rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand, wondering if she had seen it wrong.

There is a tall figure not far ahead. Why does he look so much like Captain Fu?

Bai Yalan thought to herself and subconsciously took a few steps forward to see what was going on.

At this time, another group of people came over. Mr. Bai pulled Mrs. Bai forward. Although they were not tall, they firmly protected the old man, his wife and daughter by his side.

After the crowd had cleared, Bai Yalan looked forward again, but she could no longer see the familiar figure.

She didn't take it seriously, thinking she had seen it wrong. She ate candied haws in one hand and held the carp lantern in the other, happily following her grandfather and her mother to go shopping at the nearby grocery store.

In another corner of the street, unknown to her, Fu Yunzheng, who had rarely been out with his comrades, silently watched the girl leave happily with her family, talking and laughing, without going up to interrupt. He had a smile on his lips and a warm look in his eyes.

Bai Yalan followed her husband to the grocery store and bought some fish, shrimp, pork and vegetables. They didn't buy much, just enough for the whole family.

The old man has always been frugal and would never allow extravagance or waste.

As for mooncakes, dim sum, and other snacks, they were benefits distributed by the troops of the grandfather and grandson. Based on the principle of "better to have less than less", they had no intention of buying more without the old man's reminder.

Even so, when he returned to Tang, he was still carrying a lot of things in his hands, big and small.

Mr. Bai was carrying the most things in his hands, and Mrs. Bai had quite a few in her hands as well. Mr. Bai wanted to help, but Mr. and Mrs. Bai refused to let him do anything, and they were reluctant to let their daughter carry things.

The couple both felt that the old man and their daughter worked hard enough in the army medical department, especially their daughter, who had to undergo regular physical training several days a week. It was good for them to have some rest during the rare free time at home.

It would have been fine if Mr. Bai couldn't persuade his son and daughter-in-law, but Bai Yalan was not so obedient and insisted on helping to carry some of the things.

Her rebirth was a gift from God, and she didn't want to miss any opportunity to repay her.

Mr. and Mrs. Bai couldn't persuade their daughter, so they had to give her some of the things to carry. After much persuasion, they finally made her agree. If she felt tired, she could just tell her. Mom and Dad moved a lot of goods, so carrying these things was nothing. Bai Yalan agreed readily.

On the way back to the family area, Mr. Bai persuaded his daughter to take the things from her hand.

Bai Yalan curled her lips helplessly and complained to her grandfather, "Grandpa, don't you think Dad is spoiling me too much? He's almost spoiling me."

Old Master Bai smiled cheerfully as he handed her carp lantern and the uneaten candied haws to her. He said, "In that case, why don't you take your things over first? I've been carrying them for you all the way here, and my arms must be sore. And this candied haws will melt if you don't finish it."

Bai Yalan's attention was diverted. She took the lantern and the candied haws, took a bite, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, if your arm is sore, I will help you rub it when I get back."

Mr. Bai swung his arms and said, "That's great, just don't feel tired."

"Not tired, not tired, not tired at all." Bai Yalan said with a smile as she skipped and jumped in front. The carp lantern in her hand cast a circle of light on the bluestone pavement of the camp, and it also jumped and jumped. It was very interesting. She was having fun when she heard someone calling her from the other direction.

"Bai Yalan!"

Bai Yalan looked up at him, and the smile on her face froze instantly.

The couple, carrying more than ten bags, walked towards this side side by side.

Seeing Bai Yalan's family, Lu Qing'er seemed a little surprised and took the initiative to greet the Bai family members, "Hello, Uncle Bai, Hello, Aunt Bai."
