After returning from Bai's house, Mi Zehai went to the main hall to chat with Mi Hong for a while.
When he came out, he looked a little embarrassed. Mi Hong threw two medicine boxes at him. He also heard the old man's angry voice: "Get out! I will never leave this small yard in my life. This is my home. I will not go anywhere! Also, if you dare to hire a nanny, or dare to step into this yard, I will beat him out with a stick!"
Mi Zehai stood in the middle of the yard and was scolded for a long time. He didn't dare to say a word, but lowered his head and waited for the old man to calm down. After a while, the old man stopped scolding. After all, he was his old father who had raised him for so many years. Mi Zehai didn't bear a grudge after listening to him. He was thinking that the old man's voice was much louder than before, and his health was really getting better.
After being scolded, he rubbed his nose and returned to his room.
Cheng Qing was holding Mi Yang and telling him a story. When he saw him come in, he put down the fairy tale book in his hand and said, "What's wrong? I heard that Dad was very angry just now. What did you do to provoke him?"
Yonezawa Hai stood there and said, "No big deal, I just told him that I might just retire and go home."
Cheng Qing was so anxious that he said, "How can this be possible? You have been struggling for more than ten years. Was it easy to pass the exam? And your future life..."
Mi Zehai placed the file bag in his hand next to her, held her hand, and asked softly: "Qing'er, you actually want this child, right?"
Mi Yang frowned and said, "Mom, if you want to have a baby, just give birth to it and I will raise it for you."
Cheng Qing was a little worried at first, but when he heard what he said, he burst out laughing.
Yonezawa's face flushed with embarrassment, and he said, "What nonsense are you talking about, you little brat! Your father is still alive, it's not your turn to speak!"
Before Mi Yang could say anything, Mi Zehai picked him up and put him aside. He sat on a small bench next to Cheng Qing. Such a big man was a little cautious at this moment, just like a wolfhound trained by its master. He asked carefully: "Qing'er, if I can guarantee to take good care of you and the child and have a stable income, are you willing to have this child?"
Cheng Qing himself had thought about this kind of what-if many times, and sighed: "If that's the case, then I'll still think about it."
The light in Mi Zehai's eyes lit up in an instant. He sat there and held Cheng Qing's hand seriously, and promised her: "Brother Bai came today, and I went to talk to him about my future work. He told me a lot and introduced me to a very good job."
Cheng Qing was a little surprised. In her opinion, a stable job was the best. But since Political Commissar Bai said so himself, it couldn't be bad.
Yonezawa Kaido said, "Look, this is the contract for the new job, the term is three years. No matter what, I can take good care of you in the first three years. Give me three years, I will definitely take care of everything and make sure you and the children don't suffer any hardship or grievance."
Cheng Qing's eyes turned red, and she hugged her husband and child together, and didn't let go for a long time. She touched Mi Yang's little face and asked, "Yangyang, our family will be more frugal in the future. We may not buy too many toys for you. In the future, we will share the delicious food with you and the baby. You are the older brother, and sometimes you need to help mom take care of the baby... Are you willing?"
Of course Mi Yang was willing, and he was much more optimistic than Mi Zehai. Although there was no gold everywhere like in the early 1980s, there were still many opportunities to make a fortune in the 1990s. His parents did not have so many material demands, and the family did not like to compare with others. They were content with having two small houses, planting flowers, and fishing.
Cheng Qing opened the file bag and asked as he read it, "It's enough for you to find a job. I'm also studying for the exam on my own and have several years of clinical experience. It's hard to find a job in a hospital, but a small clinic is always fine. Life may be a little hard, but you can get through it in a few years. Even if we leave, who will take care of Dad? And what about Yangyang's schooling?"
Yonezawa Kai said: "I just went to tell my dad."
Cheng Qing said: "You don't mean to let Dad go with us?"
Yonezawa nodded.
Cheng Qing laughed and said, "You deserve to be scolded. How dare you say such a thing."
Yonezawa sighed and said, "Dad refused to leave. I told him to find someone to take care of him, but he got scolded. He refused to let anyone in and wanted to stay here forever."
Cheng Qing also sighed.
Mi Zehai perked up a bit, and said to her, "Yangyang's schooling has been settled. Sister Luo said she will take care of everything. When Yangyang goes to Shanghai to take up his post, he will still study with Luochuan. It seems that they will go to some boarding school. Sister Luo said it's pretty good."
Mi Yang was stunned for a moment and said, "Dad, am I going too?"
Yonezawa Kaido: “Of course.”
Mi Yang had not expected this, after sitting there and listening for a while, he realized that the Bai family was not just introducing a job to Mi Zehai, but actually wanted to let Mi Zehai join their own company. Mrs. Bai had money and connections in Shanghai, and with the help of the Bai family, she was naturally like a fish in water. She did not necessarily want many capable subordinates, but reliable people were her first choice at the moment.
Mi Yang looked down at the contract. The words "Engineering Construction" on it were particularly eye-catching. As expected, it was the same as he remembered in his previous life, it was about real estate.
Mi Zehai stayed and talked to Cheng Qing about how to take care of the baby. It would be more convenient to be in another place with help than here.
The family discussed and made a decision, and after that, everyone felt a lot more relaxed.
This was the first time Cheng Qing let Mi Yang touch her belly. Since she didn't want this child before, she didn't let Mi Yang have much contact with her, for fear of leaving any bad memories for the child.
Mi Yang reached out his hand and touched it gently, only to feel a small bulge on Cheng Qing's belly. It was a little hard, but not obvious at all. If Cheng Qing wasn't often feeling uncomfortable now, it would really be no different from usual.
Mi Yang thought it was magical and touched it again. Mi Zehai said, "Okay, don't damage it." As he said that, he also touched it carefully. His wife's temper had been unstable these days and she had never let him touch her belly!
Cheng Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and drove them both out: "Go away, you are so annoying!"
Mi Zehai had just been depressed for a while, but now he was full of energy, as if he had determined a new goal. He immediately rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen to wash vegetables and cook. Mi Yang also ran out and went straight to the main room. Mi Zehai grabbed his collar halfway and said, "I heard everything that day. You went to play the sanxian again, right? You also asked grandpa to teach you how to make a kite. You must have taken a lot of strings, right?"
Mi Yang didn't blush at all, and said confidently: "Well, I am your grandpa, so what's wrong with taking some thread? Grandpa told me to take whatever I want."
Mi Zehai thought about the scolding he had just received, and felt sad when he saw his son acting like a little emperor in front of his elders. He was about to reach out and rub Mi Yang's head twice, but Mi Yang dodged vigilantly and stretched out four fingers to show him.
Yonezawa Kaido: "What does this mean?"
Mi Yang raised his chin and said proudly: "I have a grandma and three aunts here! Dad, don't touch me, I have a lot of reinforcements!"
Mi Zehai didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He knocked on his head and said, "Go away. You'll be so lucky if you come back."
Mi Yang ran to the main hall and asked Mi Hong to teach him how to make a kite. Master Bai's birthday was coming soon, and he only had a few dollars in pocket money, so he couldn't afford anything else. He could only make a beautiful kite for him. It was the end of July and there was a gentle breeze on the hillside. It would be nice to take his master to fly a kite to cultivate his sentiments.
Mi Hong's attitude towards his son and grandson was slightly different. Although he still had a sullen face, he did not drive his grandson out.
Mi Yang is always well-behaved in front of the old man, especially now that he feels relieved and his face becomes happy. When Mi Hong is instructing him, he hums a little tune unconsciously.
Mi Hongyi was lying on the wooden bed, with a thin blanket covering her legs, when she suddenly said, "That's not right."
Mi Yang stopped what he was doing, looked at it for a long time in confusion, and then looked up and said, "Grandpa, there is no mistake here."
Mi Hong moved the corners of his lips and said, "I hummed the wrong tune, the pitch is half a note higher.
Mi Yang watched for a while before realizing that his grandfather had just smiled gently. He immediately curved his eyes and showed a big smile, leaning forward to flatter him: "Then grandpa, teach me to sing? I just listened to grandma singing casually, but I didn't learn everything, hehe."
Mi Hong glanced at him, coughed and said, "Make your kite first, you can't bite off more than you can chew."
Mi Yang was no longer afraid of him. He had been learning to make kites for several days, and he had become closer to his grandfather. When Mi Hong smiled at him, he felt like he was particularly favored, and he spoke more: "Grandpa, my dad said you can repair books, and I want to learn it too. I have read books. When I was in the army, Teacher Wei gave me a very thick book on ancient book restoration. I read it for a long time and practiced it myself, but I still don't know how to do some things. Grandpa, can you teach me?"
Mi Hong waved for him to come over, and Mi Yang immediately went over with his eyes shining. The old man stretched out two fingers, circled them, and flicked them on his forehead. Looking at the silly child with a slightly red finger mark on his forehead, he was just about to teach him a lesson when he saw his little grandson, who was as little as a puppy, lying on his belly in the corner of his bed and began to roll around, covering his head and saying, "Grandpa lied", "It's over, I'm hurt", "You can't get up if you don't teach me to fix my homework".
Mi Hong pulled the corners of his mouth, and this time his smile was much more obvious than before.
By the time Mi Yang finished making the kite, it was already the end of July, and it was only two days away from Bai Luochuan's birthday.
What he made was a swallow kite, which was carefully painted and decorated with two small whistles that would spin and make sounds in the wind. The effect was particularly good during the test flight, but the kite was too big to be folded up, and Mi Yang was afraid that it would be damaged, so he had to carry it to find Bai Luochuan.
Young Master Bai was unpacking things at home. He would always receive a lot of gifts when his birthday was approaching, but this time he was too lazy to open them after unpacking them for a long time. Even though he had the latest laptop next to him, he was too lazy to open it and play with it.
When Mi Yang came in, he stood up, and when he saw the big kite he was holding, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to ask, "Is this for me?"
Mi Yang nodded, and Master Bai immediately dropped the pile of things and went to look at his birthday present. He looked around and Mi Yang pointed out to him that his name was written on the swallow's tail, as if it was specially customized.
Bai Luochuan was particularly satisfied and said, "It's really beautiful. I should write my name a little bigger."
