Ji Ling was sent back to school by Zhu Weiyue and his two brothers. The three of them accompanied her directly to the dormitory. The dormitory teacher must have been instructed by his superiors to be waiting for them.

Seeing Ji Ling, he smiled and said congratulations, then went upstairs with the four people.

"I told the people in your dormitory that you had to move to the lower bunk due to health reasons. Miao Man was not there, but Gao Jing happened to be in the dormitory. She agreed, so I helped you move your things to the lower bunk, but I didn't put them in order."

"Excuse me, teacher."

After entering the dormitory, I saw my things on the lower bunk, rolled up. They were indeed untouched just as the teacher said.

The dormitory teacher left with a look and let them clean up by themselves.

These were her sleeping and daily necessities. Ji Ling asked Zhu Weiyue and the other two to put down the things they brought back from home, saying that she would come back to sort them out at noon, and then she took the three of them downstairs.

She and Zhu Heping had to go to class, so they could walk together for a while. Zhu Weiyue and Zhu Weiming had to go back to their own schools.

When they reached the fork in the road, Zhu Heping said, "Sister-in-law, if that Jiang Zheng bullies you again, tell me."

"knew."

Ji Ling went to class. Zhu Weidong hadn't slept all night and was very energetic during the day. He thought about what his father had told him and went back to look through the photos. There were no other photos except the one they took on the day they got their marriage certificate.

But he immediately thought of where he could find large photos.

After get off work that day, he did not stay at the construction site, but rode his bike directly back to the county and found the Ji family in the agricultural machinery family compound. After Ji Yong opened his own shop, he got up early and went to bed late every day. He returned home the earliest today, but it was already dark.

Ji Yong saw a bicycle coming from afar, and the figure on the bicycle looked familiar to him, so he stood there and waited for a while, waiting for the cyclist to get closer and closer and finally pass by him.

Ji Yong was stunned for a moment, thinking that Zhu Weidong was in a hurry to go somewhere else, so he didn't see him?

After some doubt in his mind, he walked towards home.

As a result, when he arrived at the fork in the road leading to the family compound, Ji Yong saw Zhu Weidong standing at the intersection again, seemingly looking for something, so he walked over quickly.

"Weidong, what's missing?"

Zhu Weidong heard the voice and looked up, but he didn't respond for a moment.

Ji Yong had no idea that he was trying to identify who he was. He took a few more steps forward because the light was dim and he couldn't see clearly. He said as he walked, "I heard Ji Ke say that when he went to your house these few days, only your grandmother and Yao Wu were at home. You were a little busy at the construction site. Are you taking a break today?"

"Dad." Zhu Weidong confirmed Ji Yong's identity after hearing these words. "I'm not busy today. I just happened to have something to talk to you about, so I'll go home and stay."

Ji Yong was happy to hear that his son-in-law wanted to talk to him about something. "You haven't eaten yet, go home first and we'll talk while we eat."

Zhu Weidong followed.

When they got home, Xu Fang had just put the food on the table. Seeing Zhu Weidong coming over, she was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Weidong is here. We've just started eating. Go wash your hands."

Ji Yong glanced at the table and said, "What day is it today? They stewed a chicken."

"Xiao Ke went to take the exam, and after a preliminary test, he got first place in the grade."

"Dad, what reward are you going to give me?" Ji Ke came out from the west room. She was wearing a white sweater with this year's most popular V-neck. She spoke in a playful and cute manner, and called Zhu Weidong "brother-in-law" in a crisp voice.

Zhu Weidong nodded.

Ji Yong said, "Keep it up, Dad's reward won't be bad."

"Then I'll remember it." Ji Ke happily came to Zhu Weidong and said, "Brother-in-law, I have to thank you for my good performance in the exam."

Xu Fang took the bowl and chopsticks, "Okay, you are already a grown-up girl, don't jump up and down in front of your brother-in-law, you are not a child, be more stable."

"I know." Ji Ke whispered, "Mom, my brother-in-law comes to our house whenever he has time. He takes good care of you and my dad."

"It's quite thoughtful." Xu Fang didn't know what she was thinking about, and the smile on her face faded.

Seeing this, Ji Kan didn't dare to say anything more.

While eating, Ji Yong just remembered that Zhu Weidong had asked him for something on the way. "By the way, Weidong, you said you wanted to ask me for something. What was it?"

"I remember the last time Xiaoling came back to attend the wedding, we took a photo together. Do you have the photo here? I want one."

"Yes, your aunt Li sent it specially. She also printed two extra photos. She said you and Xiaoling look like big stars." Ji Yong asked his wife beside him, "Find a few for Weidong later."

Xu Fang responded.

Ji Yong thought that his son-in-law came to him just to ask for the photos. He also thought that his daughter was far away in the capital, and the couple were separated, but his son-in-law still knew to carry the photos with him. The corners of his mouth widened a little.

"Is Xiaoling okay? We have arranged a meeting in mid-December and will hold your wedding at the end of December. It will save trouble if she is not at home. You have to handle all these things by yourself."

Zhu Weidong's cold face showed a rare softness, "Even if Xiaoling is here, you can't ask her to help."

"Why not let her help? She's just a lazy bum." Ji Yong said that his daughter was not good, but he was happy to hear that his son-in-law loved his daughter.

"Xiaoling is pregnant. We found out the night before yesterday."

"What?" Ji Yong thought he had misheard, "What happened to Xiaoling?"

Zhu Weidong said unnaturally, "She's pregnant."

"Ah" Ji Yong opened his mouth in surprise and forgot to close it.

"Isn't my sister in college? Why does she want a child if she's in college? Does she want to drop out of school and not study anymore? She insisted on repeating a grade to get into college, and mom and dad even quarreled about it. How can she just give up the opportunity to go to college that was so hard to come by?" Ji Ke muttered softly, and secretly glanced at her parents, afraid of making them unhappy.

"I won't drop out of school. My mother will take care of the child." Zhu Weidong immediately denied Ji Ke's statement, "The child came unexpectedly, but we welcome the arrival of this little life."

"Yes, yes, yes. Nowadays, many students go to college with their children. Why do you have to drop out of school just because of pregnancy?" Ji Yong nodded. He just thought that his daughter was still a child in his eyes, but suddenly she had to become a mother. The role change was too fast, and he was a little confused for a moment.

Xu Fang never spoke a word from beginning to end and just ate in silence.

After dinner, Zhu Weidong left with two photos. One was taken when he was fixing Ji Ling's hair. It was unknown why the photographer took this photo. The other was a photo of them with the bride. He and Ji Ling standing together looked more like a newlywed couple.

The last photo was a frontal photo of the two of them smiling happily. Zhu Weidong liked this photo very much and put both photos in his wallet.

After Zhu Weidong left, the Ji family fell into silence.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Ji Ke went back to his room.

After cleaning up the outer room, Xu Fang returned to the room, sat on the bed, and took a long time to utter a word.

"She didn't even tell her family she was pregnant, so why are you still worrying about her?"
