Mi Yang was protected by Old Lady Cheng and did not return to Shanghai after the Chinese New Year. The old lady was afraid that he would be taught a lesson if he went back, so she insisted on keeping him by her side.
Cheng Qing actually didn't object much. Mi Yang had come to talk to her privately once. There was nothing that couldn't be discussed between mother and son, especially since Mi Yang had been worry-free since childhood and had done everything very well. After a little hesitation, she nodded and agreed. Once she was relieved, she felt a lot more relaxed. When she saw Bai Luochuan again, she felt that he was more pleasing to the eye than before. After all, he grew up by her side and she knew him well for more than 20 years. It was better for him to join as a family member than to suddenly come in.
Yonezawa Hai was still a little concerned about gender, but his starting point was also for the sake of the child. They themselves didn't care, so there was no reason for him to keep worrying about it - especially since the two elders in the family had spoken, he didn't dare to say anything.
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the two families went back to work and had a meal together before leaving.
Since Mr. Bai was not in good health, they did not go out and had a family dinner at the Bai family.
On Mi Yang's side, it was Old Lady Cheng who came forward. The two families gathered together and had a harmonious meal. There was no dull moment during the meal. Cheng Qing was afraid that her son would be wronged, so she kept talking to Luo Jiangjing. The same was true for the Bai family. Luo Jiangjing was even more polite and enthusiastic than her, holding her hand and talking to her. Mi Yang gave the brooches and bracelets he brought to the two mothers, and they both wore them on the spot. They were of the same style. The two smiled at each other, and their relationship was much better than before.
The two fathers on the other side also chatted for a while, half for their children and half due to pressure from their elders. Mi Zehai and Bai Jingrong were old comrades-in-arms. They had a good relationship and were familiar with each other. After drinking a few glasses of wine, they chatted quite harmoniously.
Mi Zehai was suppressed by the two old people in the family, and could not stir up any waves. He came to eat with them obediently. After being ignored and reflecting for a period of time, Bai Jingrong's attitude softened a lot. During the meal, he also gave a gift to Mi Yang and Bai Luochuan. He still didn't say much, but expressed his current opinions.
Mi Yang was somewhat flattered by the gift and held it very cherishingly: "Thank you, Uncle Bai."
Mr. Bai smiled and said, "Why call me uncle? From now on, you will be like Luochuan and be treated as the second son of the family."
Mi Yang was a little embarrassed and stood there with his face blushing.
Bai Luochuan was very generous. He stood up and toasted Mi Zehai with a glass of wine. "Godfather, you can rest assured from now on. If I do something wrong, please give me more advice. I will try my best to do it well."
Yonezawa Hai was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the question would be directed to him, but he had to respond. He gritted his teeth and drank the wine in his glass, as if to acknowledge this "godson".
He started it, and Mi Yang followed suit by serving wine to Bai Jingrong and calling him godfather.
Bai Jingrong remained silent, but without any hesitation, he took the glass and drank it all in one gulp, which meant he acknowledged Mi Yang.
Michelle was still young, and she sat there and asked in a low voice, somewhat curiously, "Mom, will Brother Bai also be part of our family from now on?"
Cheng Qing touched her head and said with a smile: "Yes, from now on you should call him brother and treat him as your own brother, understand?"
Michelle nodded, "I know, godparents...are also relatives, right?"
Luo Jiangjing smiled and nodded: "Xiaoxue is very smart, she answered correctly, and from now on our two families will be relatives."
Both sets of elderly people laughed, and the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became much more lively. They finished the meal while chatting and laughing.
Mr. Bai had just been released from the emergency room a few years ago and was physically exhausted, so everyone didn't stay long and went home after dinner.
On the ninth day of the first lunar month, Bai Jingrong returned to the army.
Mi Zehai and Cheng Qing also returned to Shanghai first. Although Bai Luochuan had something to do, Mi Yang was still staying with Old Lady Cheng to spend the winter vacation. He didn't leave either. After pestering Luo Jiangjing for a long time, he finally got half a month's annual leave and stayed in Shanhai Town with Mi Yang.
Luo Jiangjing invited her warmly, so Cheng Qing sat in a car with her. It was a little awkward at first, but after all, they were too familiar with each other. They looked at each other for a while and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Cheng Qing shook his head and smiled, "I really didn't expect them to be together. When they were little, we said that if by chance, the two of them could get together for a wedding. This is really... Hey, man proposes, God disposes."
Luo Jiangjing also smiled, folded his hands on his knees and whispered: "Isn't this good? Anyway, we have never been apart since childhood. I thought about it for a long time when I went back that day, but I felt that it was okay. Anyway, we were together for the first twenty years, and the next few decades will be up to them."
Cheng Qing nodded and said, "Yes, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so we don't have to worry about them. But the two of them are also very hardworking. Luochuan is so outstanding, and Yangyang is also obedient. They have never messed around like those young people outside, so I am not worried about their future life. It's just that Yangyang sometimes looks obedient, but in fact he has a very stubborn temper. If they quarrel in front of us in the future, I will definitely side with the right side instead of the relative side."
Luo Jiangjing also said: "Luochuan is the same. If Yangyang is wronged, I will ask him first."
The two chatted a lot along the way. Surprisingly, they only talked about the children for a short while. Instead, they talked more about the days in the military camp, the memories of the past, the younger selves in their memories and the lost years of youth. They felt gratified and emotional.
Mi Yang had a good winter vacation in Shanhai Town. Ever since Old Lady Cheng found out about his relationship with Bai Luochuan, she urged him to go to the Bai family every day and insisted that he accompany the young master.
The old lady said righteously: "You can't just leave her alone after you marry her. You have to keep her company. When your parents got married, your father came to our house every New Year to work. He was as good as two farmhands!"
Mi Yang smiled and said, "Grandma, now is a new era, the old society's ways are no longer popular."
Old Mrs. Cheng didn't agree. Seeing that he couldn't go without going to the Bai family for a day, she was even more anxious than him. She took out the freshly ironed new clothes for Mi Yang to change into, and urged him to go out and "talk about a girl". He had already met her parents, so she was definitely a serious person!
Mi Yang had no choice but to go to the Bai family.
As soon as he arrived at the small building, he saw Bai Luochuan opening a blueprint and looking at it. He was holding a pen and circling something. Seeing him coming, he was very happy and said, "Why are you here so early today? I wanted to find you later. Here, look at this."
Mi Yang walked closer, looked at it and asked, "What?"
Bai Luochuan put a hand on his shoulder naturally and said affectionately, "Isn't there a large empty area in the backyard? We gave it a piece of land before, and we can't build anything else here. Grandpa said it would be a waste to leave it idle, so we plan to tidy it up and build a tennis court or something. We just asked someone to draw a map. Take a look at the size." He pointed to Mi Yang and pointed to the side, "There is still a space here. I plan to build a glass house with a swimming pool inside. You can swim in the summer and adjust the temperature higher in the winter so you can exercise. It won't delay you."
Mi Yang took a look and asked, "Didn't you say it was for Wu Le?"
Bai Luochuan said, "The stable we contacted earlier has some news. They said they have already matched a pony and will be ready to be brought here in the fall. By then, Wu Le and the pony will be too noisy here and they won't be able to run away. We've found another place for them. There are still seven or eight months left, which is enough time."
He pointed out to Mi Yang that the Bai family's old house suffered some losses when it was relocated, and because they were the first to set an example, the local department gave some compensation. Old Bai did not ask for compensation, but asked for some more vacant land, which was just right for use now.
After Mi Yang saw it, he suddenly thought of something and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Wule's horse farm is usually empty, right? Can we build some more facilities?"
Bai Luochuan happily said: "Of course, what facilities?"
Mi Yang told him about the public earthquake prevention. The horse farm had its own fire-fighting equipment, so there was no need to do anything special.
Bai Luochuan understood immediately, "You mean to build an emergency shelter after the earthquake?"
Mi Yang nodded and said, "Yes, if possible, we can use it for exercises in the town's schools in the future. This place is right in the middle of the town and close to everything. What do you think?"
Bai Luochuan said: "Okay, I'm usually free anyway."
As he spoke, he added another note. Mi Yang looked at the words he wrote in his own handwriting and felt less at ease.
The area near Shanhai Town has been designated as a tourist attraction and is under supervision of relevant personnel. The chance of an accident is very small, but it is still better to be fully prepared.
He accompanied Bai Luochuan to look at the tennis court part. After talking about business, Bai Luochuan put the drawings aside casually and turned around to carry Mi Yang to the desk. Mi Yang was startled by him and put his hand on his shoulder. Before he could look at him, he was kissed by him.
Master Bai rubbed his nose against his and said contentedly, "I haven't seen you all night. I missed you."
Mi Yang tilted his head to avoid him for a moment. He was tickled by his kiss on the ear, but he was still trying to look to the side: "Where is Grandpa Bai?"
Bai Luochuan said: "We went to the hospital. The doctor and the nanny at home accompanied us. Now it's just the two of us here."
Mi Yang wanted to say something, hesitating: "During the day... not good..."
Bai Luochuan kissed him and said, "What's wrong? What's wrong with you, huh?"
Mi Yang's ears turned red, and he looked at him and whispered, "Not good, you are showing off in broad daylight."
Bai Luochuan looked at him with amusement, resting his forehead against his, "What are you thinking about?"
Mi Yang had just breathed a sigh of relief when he was picked up by the man and taken to the second floor. The man snorted unceremoniously, "Why do you think I'm staying here for the past half month? I'm having a legitimate honeymoon, and my family has approved it!"
Mi Yang tried to be a serious person during the day, but the person next to him did not cooperate and insisted on having sex during the day.
Mi Yang had no way of resisting, so he submitted. The feeling was not bad, but it was not much more relaxing than at night. Perhaps because they felt time was tight, they did not torture him too much, but the force and friction were much greater. He finished the homework that used to take three hours in one hour. Mi Yang, an all-round top student in all subjects, did not feel relaxed this time. He felt a sore waist and legs after a private lesson with Young Master Bai.
The student in the class was quite relaxed, massaging his waist while thinking with great interest. When he was about to delay the class, Mi Yang immediately held his hand and said, "No, I'm really tired..."
Master Bai came closer and whispered in his ear, "Where are you staying tonight? I'll accompany you."
Mi Yang: “…”
After obtaining the certificate and taking up the job, his young master has been openly eating this meal and thinking about the next one.
The author has something to say: Tomorrow there will be a book signing for "Baby Friends" in Qujiang, Xi'an. That is the published book of Bai Bin and Ding Hao's story. Friends in Xi'an can come and play. The specific address is on Weibo. See you tomorrow. =3=
