When Li Qiulan heard this, she immediately put down her bowl and chopsticks, covered her mouth and ran to the inner room. Then crying sounds were heard from the inner room.
Xiaohui was a little scared and looked at Bai Jiansheng anxiously, "Grandpa, what's wrong with grandma?"
The child didn’t understand what it felt like when someone died, but he still felt sad when he saw his grandmother, who usually loved him, crying.
Bai Jiansheng forced a smile and patted his head, "It's okay, grandma is in a bad mood."
"Oh." Xiaohui finished his meal quickly and said, "I'll go comfort grandma." Then he climbed down from the bench and ran into the inner room.
Bai Ruozhen said, "Fortunately, Xiaohui didn't go back with them."
"Hmm." Bai Jiansheng sighed and sneered, "Why didn't Zhang Fuqiang die together? It's a good thing your eldest sister divorced Zhang Fuqiang before because of the college entrance examination."
Bai Ruozhen was a little curious after hearing him say that. Zhang Fuqiang was obviously not a good person, so how could he agree to divorce so easily? Unless Bai Ruoxin made some guarantee, Zhang Fuqiang would not agree.
But no matter what agreement the two reached, they have divorced and the child has settled in the Bai family. Even if Zhang Fuqiang comes, he has no power to change anything.
After staying at home for a while, Gu Changqing and Bai Ruozhen took the children to the guesthouse. Bai Jiansheng sent them to the gate and said, "Don't think too much. I will persuade your mother."
Bai Ruozhen nodded and said something happy, "Dad, I also took the college entrance examination. I think I can get into university."
"Really?" Bai Jiansheng was indeed very happy. "Well done! Our Bai family really needs a college student."
Bai Ruozhen was a little embarrassed, "Ruoyun and Lishan are good at studying, they will definitely pass the exam in the future."
Bai Jiansheng thought of his youngest son and daughter and smiled. Then he glanced at Gu Changqing and said, "Thanks to their second brother-in-law for giving them the review materials."
"We are all family, so we shouldn't talk about outsiders." Gu Changqing said goodbye to him and the family of four went to the guesthouse.
Doubao and Jiaozi were already sleepy and fell asleep on the bed. Bai Ruozhen finished washing up and sat back on the bed and said, "Is Bai Ruoxin really gone? Why can't you believe it?"
Gu Changqing hugged her and said, "If it's gone, it's gone. Who cares?"
Bai Ruozhen nodded, he was indeed an unimportant person.
When Li Qiulan returned the next day, she looked much better and had prepared a sumptuous breakfast.
After dinner, Bai Jiansheng and Bai Liqiang went to work, and Li Qiulan played with the three children when she was free.
In the afternoon, Bai Ruozhen and Gu Changqing took a few children out to play and asked Li Qiulan to go with them, but Li Qiulan shook her head and said she couldn't go.
The children were undoubtedly the happiest after the group left. Doubao and Jiaozi were overwhelmed by the bustle of the provincial capital. Meanwhile, Bai Ruoyun was pining for Bai Ruozhen to buy her some nice clothes. Bai Lishan didn't ask for anything, but followed them with a smile. As for Xiaohui, he had no idea he was motherless, or perhaps he had already felt parentless when his biological parents abandoned him last year. He only had a nervous, envious expression.
"Let's go shopping in the mall?" Bai Ruozhen suggested.
The two little ones were happy just to go out. Bai Ruoyun said happily, "Second sister, there are so many beautiful clothes in the mall this year. You will definitely look good in them."
Bai Ruozhen glanced at her and said, "Let's go and take a look."
If nothing unexpected happens, they should go to Beijing after the New Year. By then, I must buy some nice clothes, as well as bean buns and dumplings. I must stay at home first and wait until they settle down there before I can come back to pick them up. I must also prepare some clothes and other things.
Gu Changqing said cheerfully, "Each person gets a set of clothes, pick your own."
Xiaohui's eyes lit up, "Uncle, do I have one too?"
Gu Changqing touched his head and said, "Yes."
"Thank you, uncle." Xiaohui suddenly became happy.
Arriving at the department store, Bai Ruozhen found that it was more lively here than before, and there were many more styles of clothes than before. At least the colors were richer, with red, yellow, and green, instead of being dominated by black and white.
Bai Ruoyun took Bai Ruozhen to look at ready-made clothes, pointed at a woolen coat and said, "Second sister, this coat is really beautiful, it will definitely look good on you."
Bai Ruozhen looked at it and thought it was indeed pretty. It was camel in color and had a bow at the neckline. She asked the salesperson to take it off and try it out, and she found it was indeed pretty.
"Take two, one for my size and one for hers." Bai Ruozhen said as he handed them to the salesperson.
Bai Ruoyun was immediately happy when she heard that he would buy it for her, "Thank you, second sister."
After happily buying clothes, Bai Ruozhen went to buy a set of clothes for Bai Jiansheng and his wife, as well as Bai Liqiang's children. Finally, he bought some food that didn't require any tickets, and then went home with a lot of bags.
When Bai Ruozhen arrived at the door, he heard the baby babbling. He pushed the door open and saw Pei Guohong sitting on the bed playing with the baby. When she saw them come in, she said, "I thought Liqiang was lying to me."
Bai Ruoyun was busy trying on new clothes, and Xiaohui and his two younger brothers went to play in the inner room. Pei Guohong whispered, "Is Bai Ruoxin really gone?"
Bai Ruozhen responded, "Yeah, that's all."
Pei Guohong said, "It's fate."
Yes, it’s all fate. Bai Ruozhen thought about himself and found that his life was really good.
