Chapter 219 End of Business Trip
Because the three of them cooked together, they were quite fast. After the food was ready, Xiao Xue and Song Dongling went home to call their husbands.

The child stayed with her, letting Bai Jing take care of him, so as not to have to carry him back and forth. Anyway, the child now has toys and doesn't even want to go home anymore.

However, when the two left the courtyard, Bai Jing told them to call Wei Huiyan.

After all, if she ordered food and Wei Huiyan didn't, she might get suspicious.

It was only then that Bai Jing learned that Xiao Wei had taken his wife and children to City D.

Then we can only say that they were not meant to be.

Bai Jing had no idea that because of her, she almost missed dinner tonight.

Fortunately, both women remembered their mission and their sisterhood; otherwise, they might have abandoned their child altogether.

"Who are you?" Nan Lichen returned earlier than usual today because recently, the higher-ups had arrested a lot of people because of the official document. Although he was in the Red Guards, he didn't want to commit too many crimes, so he would hide whenever possible.

Sure enough, today they arrested a family he knew, and he was powerless to help them, so he could only avoid them.

Unexpectedly, just as I finished taking a shower and changing clothes, someone pushed open my bedroom door.

It was still a woman, and Nan Lichen immediately covered himself with his clothes, his mind racing with scenarios of framing her.

He was already thinking about how to escape the scheme.

But when the woman spoke, he was so shocked that his clothes fell to the ground.

"What are you doing? I'm your wife, who else could I be? Or rather, who are you expecting?"

Don't underestimate a woman's sensitivity; sometimes it's incredibly accurate.

Nan Lichen finally breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the voice. Thankfully, it was his beloved wife's voice.

However, "Where have you been? Why are you dressed like that?"

Does it look good?
good-looking.

It was the first time he had ever seen his wife dressed like that.

It's very eye-catching; I can't take my eyes off it.

"Hmph, where else can I go? Xiaojing is back. We're going to her house for dinner tonight. I've been there all day."

Walking up to her husband, Xiao Xue said with a teasing look, "Honey, tell me honestly, didn't you recognize me just now?" She herself hadn't recognized herself at first glance.

Not to mention him.

"You still dare to talk? What's with these clothes?" Nan Lichen swallowed hard, making a very obvious swallowing sound. "You didn't go out for a stroll dressed like this, did you?"

His eyes narrowed slightly, a dangerous signal emanating from them.

Xiao Xue knew her man well. "Don't do anything reckless. We're just waiting for you to eat. If you dare to do anything reckless, I'll be too ashamed to face anyone. I'll teach you a lesson."

Upon hearing this, Nan Lichen held back, but he still hugged his wife tightly. Even if he couldn't have meat, he could at least have some soup.

He kissed her deeply, saying, "Just wait and see how I deal with you tonight."

Xiao Xue blushed deeply at his teasing. "You pervert!" she said, pushing him away forcefully. "Hurry up, don't keep them waiting."

After closing the door, the two got into the car and went to Jiang Chen's yard together.

The situation was similar on the other side.

However, with a troublesome little girl by their side, they didn't dare go too far.

But Shao Qing was much bolder than Nan Lichen. He often praised his wife in front of his daughter, saying that she was beautiful and that she should dress like that every day.

Anyway, Shao Qing said all sorts of sweet words to coax his wife.

This was the first time he had ever discovered that his wife had such a face, which made him unable to resist.

When they met again, both Nan Lichen and Shao Qing gave Bai Jing a thumbs up.

They were truly amazed that Bai Jing had managed to develop their own wife's sexuality.

This made Bai Jing very happy. It turned out that it wasn't that men in this era didn't understand beauty, but rather that women didn't fully showcase their beauty.

"Little sister, next time I'll have your sister-in-law take you shopping, and all the expenses will be on me." Shao Qing was much more generous than Nan Lichen, and he knew better how to express himself.

“That works, girl, did you hear that? Next time you have to help me pick something out.” Song Dongling didn’t disappoint her man and readily agreed.

Bai Jing readily agreed, "Of course, then thank you for your generosity, Brother Shao." Bai Jing also jokingly added, "But Brother Shao, don't be stingy, after all, spoiling your wife can be very expensive."

"Haha, I'm rich, buy whatever you want, it's all on me." Shao Qing's mouth is so sweet.

He can not only appease his wife and children, but also his wife's best friend.

Xiao Xue looked at her man and wanted him to say something, but Nan Lichen was not as sweet-talking as Shao Qing.

But deep down he still liked his wife to be more versatile, so under his wife's expectant gaze, he said dryly, "And your Sister Xiao too."

Those five simple words almost made Xiao Xue furious.

"You're such a silent person, you'll ruin your mouth if you keep it shut."

The house was filled with laughter, and the food was all eaten up. They probably wanted to go home and admire their wives' beauty. After the meal, the two men even helped clear the table.

After everything was packed up, they took their wives and children home.

The once noisy room became quiet, which made Bai Jing feel somewhat empty.

After taking a shower and getting her clothes, Bai Jing lay in bed, smelling the blankets that no longer carried his scent, and felt a deep longing for Jiang Chen.

Unable to sleep, she got out of bed and went to the table where Jiang Chen usually read, and began searching for paper and pen.

She only stopped what she was doing when she received a letter addressed to Bai Jing.

The letter was unsealed, indicating that he had written it and placed it here intentionally for her to read.

I opened the letter, and the first line read: "I miss your wife."

And what he said next told her that he missed her just as much as she did, even when she wasn't around.

After reading his letter, Bai Jing smiled.

"I never would have guessed Jiang Chen had such a reserved and sly side." Bai Jing couldn't help but remark with a pleasant smile.

"Since you keep me in your heart, I'll love you a little more." After saying that, she picked up a pen and paper and began to write him a letter.

Because it was going to be sent out, and knowing the rules of the military, she didn't dare to be too explicit in the letter, but she still wanted to tell him her attitude.

For example, I miss him.

···
Because of the long holiday, Bai Jing planned to go back to her hometown. After all, she had been away from home for so long and missed her parents, siblings and friends.

The next day, after mailing the letter, she bought a train ticket for noon, planning to go home to visit her parents and stay there for a few days.

Remembering what Sister Xiao and Sister Song had talked about yesterday, she went to Sister Xiao's house again and told her about her plans.

"It's alright, we can go shopping anytime, going home to see my parents is more important." Xiao Xue naturally wouldn't be angry about this. "By the way, Li Chen brought back some cigarettes last time, I'll get some for you to take back. I heard Uncle likes to smoke too." Xiao Xue was never a stingy person; she would repay kindness threefold.

"No, that tobacco essence is too expensive. My father isn't used to it; he prefers loose tobacco." Bai Jing quickly refused, as such good tobacco was probably not something ordinary people could obtain.

It must have been difficult for Nan Lichen to get it back, so she couldn't take advantage of him.

"Hey, what's the big deal? Just try it, maybe your uncle will like it." She doesn't smoke and doesn't understand the significance of cigarettes, but if men like them, her family certainly doesn't lack them.

"Don't be so polite with me, or I won't dare accept your things anymore." Afraid that she would refuse, Xiao Xue's smile faded, and she said with a hint of seriousness.

Bai Jing knew she couldn't be too polite with her friends, as excessive politeness would create distance. "Then thank you, Sister Xiao. My mother's cured meat tastes great; I'll bring some back for you later."

"No problem, I've been wanting to try it too."

Xiao Xue didn't stand on ceremony with Bai Jing.

Because of the tight schedule, Bai Jing didn't go to Song Dongling's place, since the hospital and the bus station she needed to go to were not in the same direction.

So she asked Xiao Xue to pass on a message to Sister Song, saying sorry.

Bai Jing returned home around 4 p.m.

When she came back, no one was home; everyone was either at school or at work, and she really didn't run into anyone.

Seeing that her family's quality of life hadn't changed because of her absence, she was genuinely happy, as it proved that her family had accepted the change.

As she carried her things into her room, she realized that her room was spotless, without a speck of dust, and the blankets even smelled of sunshine.

It's clear that her mother often tidied her up.

Bai Jing then took out the gifts she had prepared for her family from the system space before leaving the house.

Seeing that it was getting late, she went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

The three children were the first to return home.

Bai Jing was busy in the kitchen when she heard the sound of the courtyard gate being pushed open, followed by the sound of her older sister scolding the two younger children.

"If you dare to fight again, I'll tell my older sister and she'll deal with you." Bai Ling was furious today. She didn't know what was wrong with her younger brother, but he actually got into a fight at school.

If the teacher hadn't been quick-witted and nimble, the child would have been shot in the head by Xiao Yong.

"Hmph, it's not my fault. Who told him to call me a country bumpkin?" Bai Yong also felt resentful. It wasn't his fault; the other party had insulted him first and attacked him first.

He couldn't beat himself, but in the end he did win. So how did the blame fall on him?
Xiao Yong looked indignant. "You can tell my older sister, I'm not afraid. It wasn't my fault."

"You're still being stubborn. Don't you even look where you hit him? If you really slammed the chair down on him, he'd be dead!" Bai Ling's eyes reddened with anger.

Is she saying he wasn't wrong?
She was saying he was reckless, hitting someone in a vital spot, and what if he actually killed them?
Do you think his family would let him pay with his life?
That brat, all he does is cause trouble for the family. What's wrong with scolding him a bit? She wasn't even angry.

Bai Jing listened to their conversation and then walked out of the kitchen.

"What's going on?" Bai Jing looked at the pouting little brother and walked up to them. "Can anyone tell me what happened?"

Her appearance immediately caused the three of them to scream with joy, "Big Sister!"

"Big sister, you're back."

"Sister, I miss you so much."

Bai Jing patted the two children's heads, then looked at Bai Ling, "You tell me, what happened?"

Bai Ling was happy to see her older sister, but when she heard her sister's question, she told her about what had happened to Xiao Yong at school.

After listening, Bai Jing's face also darkened. "Xiao Yong, you can't be so reckless in the future. If you really kill or maim someone, have you thought about your parents?"

She patted the top of his head and said, "It's wrong of him to insult you. You can tell the teacher or your parents. If he hits you, you can hit him back, but you can't hit his vital areas, understand?" She didn't say that fighting was wrong.

After all, others have already hit you; you can't just stand there and let them hit you.

That's an idiot.

No, even a fool knows that if someone hits you, you should fight back.

"Big sister, you're not mad at me?" Bai Yong didn't expect that his eldest sister wouldn't scold him like his second sister did.

Instead, they taught him how to fight back.

"It's not your fault, but you should know what's important," Bai Jing replied with a gentle smile.

“We don’t cause trouble, but we’re not afraid of trouble either. What do you think your teacher says?” Bai Jing still cared a lot about her teacher’s opinion.

If a teacher doesn't distinguish right from wrong, then don't blame her for being an unreasonable parent.

Bai Yong didn't dare look at his eldest sister anymore, but instead looked at his second sister with a pleading expression.

After all, the rest of the matter was discussed between the second sister and the teacher.

But he knew that the teacher wanted him to bring his parents to school the next day.

Bai Ling glared at him. "Now you're scared? Where were you before?"

Then he turned to his older sister and said, "The teacher said that parents need to come to the school tomorrow." Afraid that his sister would misunderstand, he added, "And the other parent too, since the fault doesn't lie with Xiaoyong this time."

Hearing this, Bai Jing felt more at ease.

"I understand. I'll talk to my parents when they get home tonight, and I'll go to school to resolve this tomorrow."

Since the teacher is reasonable, she is willing to give the teacher face.

These days, few teachers dare to discipline children like this, after all, everyone is afraid of being labeled as a "stinking intellectual".

Since her elder sister has said so, Bai Ling has no objection. As long as she is not allowed to show her face, that's fine.

"Alright, go put your schoolbag down and do your homework. Dinner will be ready when Mom and Dad get back."

I nudged them, telling them to go do their homework first.

After they entered the main room, Bai Jing turned around and went into the kitchen.

She still has two dishes to finish cooking, so she has to go and stir-fry them.

Luo Chunhua returned home earlier than Bai Quanfu. As soon as she arrived, she smelled the aroma of home-cooked meals, and her face was filled with happiness.

"Xiaoling told you not to cook, just wait for Mom to come back and cook. You'd be better off doing your homework; good grades are more important than anything else," Luo Chunhua said to the kitchen before even seeing anyone.

Bai Jing emerged from the kitchen and called out happily, "Mom!"

Luo Chunhua then realized that Xiao Jing had returned. "Xiao Jing, when did you get back? Why didn't you tell us first so that I could buy some of your favorite dishes?"

"No need, no need. I just got back from a business trip and happened to have some time off, so I thought I'd come back to see you all. Mom, how's everything at home these days?" Bai Jing was happy and excited to see her mother.

"I'm fine, everything's great." What's wrong with being at home? It's Xiao Jing who worries me the most. "How about you? Are you doing okay in City A? Are you settling into your work? I heard that Team Leader Lin was transferred there with you too. Are you still working together?"

Knowing that her mother was worried about her, and that she must have inquired about her a lot over the years, she said, "I'm fine. I'm currently living in Jiang Chen's house in City A. He also has friends living nearby who have taken good care of me."
