Reborn back to the time before I sold my blood to support my scumbag boyfriend's college educat

Xia Yichu was half asleep when she suddenly felt someone on the bed, which startled her.

Just as she was about to make her move, she caught a familiar scent. It was Pei Shizhou; he had returned.

Then, she snuggled into Pei Shizhou's arms like a kitten. Pei Shizhou had only been asleep for a short while when he noticed Xia Yichu's movements and knew that she had woken up.

"Xiao Chu"

"Hmm, why did you come back so quickly?"

Xia Yichu hugged Pei Shizhou's waist and looked up at him. The room was dark, and she couldn't see Pei Shizhou's face clearly.

I missed you, so I came back right away.

Xia Yichu noticed that since their marriage, Pei Shizhou had become incredibly good at sweet talk. However, she didn't find it offensive at all; on the contrary, she enjoyed listening to it.

Are you tired?

Xia Yichu touched his face and asked, but Pei Shizhou grabbed her hand.

"A little"

"Then you should go to sleep. We can talk about it tomorrow." Xia Yichu didn't dare to bother him anymore and obediently lay down.

"it is good"

It seemed Pei Shizhou was truly exhausted, for Xia Yichu soon discovered he had fallen asleep. She lay in his arms, afraid to move, lest she disturb his sleep. After some time, Xia Yichu also slowly drifted off to sleep.

Pei Shizhou and Xia Yichu got up together in the morning. After breakfast, he was going to take Lin Xingcheng to the airport to catch his flight. He also had to pick up Xia Guoan. The two of them were on their way to his house.

"Brother-in-law, you need to keep a close eye on Xiao Chu and make sure she doesn't get into arguments with others."

In the car, Lin Xingcheng gave Pei Shizhou a hundred instructions out of concern.

"Okay, I understand."

Seeing Lin Xingcheng's serious expression, Pei Shizhou said, "Don't worry about your work. I'll take good care of Xiao Chu. I'll contact you if anything happens."

"Um"

After saying these words, they remained silent on the way to the Xia family's old house to pick up Xia Guoan. Grandpa Xia told them that Xia Guoan wasn't there; he hadn't come for the past two days, apparently busy with something.

"Xiao Cheng, didn't Dad say where he's going to pick him up?"

Pei Shizhou looked at Lin Xingcheng, who had a bad expression, with a sense of sullenness. Fortunately, they had set off early.

"No, when I got off the plane that day, he said he would come back with me and asked me to buy him a ticket too. Brother-in-law, what should we do now?"

Lin Xingcheng regretted not calling to confirm again last night before buying Xia Guoan's plane ticket.

"Shall we find somewhere to make a phone call and ask? Are you sure you're taking the flight today?"

Lin Xingcheng rolled his eyes at Pei Shizhou. Was his memory really that bad?

"Sure"

Xia Guoan is so unreliable, how could he forget something like this? Lin Xingcheng was speechless. Pei Shizhou called Xia Zhiqian and Xia Zhiheng, but neither of them knew where Xia Guoan was.

"What do we do now? Do you want me to take you to the airport, or should we go back first?"

"go back"

Lin Xingcheng gritted his teeth and said that he couldn't let Xia Guoan go back to work on his own.

"it is good"

Pei Shizhou brought Lin Xingcheng home, and when they arrived at the door, they thought they heard Xia Guoan's voice. They thought they had misheard, but when they opened the door and went inside, they found that Xia Guoan was indeed at their house.

"Xingcheng, I'm on my way to find you. I have something to tell you..."

Before Xia Guoan could finish speaking, Lin Xingcheng hurriedly interrupted him.

"Don't you know you're taking a plane today? You didn't even tell me you were coming. You'll miss your flight. Grab your things and let's get going."

"Wait a minute, Xingcheng, I'm not going. I've already applied for early retirement. The boss has approved it, and I don't need to go to work anymore."

Xia Guoan had been busy with this matter ever since he learned that Xia Yichu was pregnant. That's why he hadn't come to see Xia Yichu. He still had three years until retirement, and Lin Xingcheng looked at him strangely, having never heard of him wanting to retire early.

Why?

Lin Xingcheng looked at him with puzzlement; this was the career he loved. To be honest, he was reluctant to see Xia Guoan leave; he was an excellent researcher.

"No reason why? I just don't want to do it anymore."

Xia Guoan didn't want to say that he retired because of Xia Yichu's unborn child, fearing it would put pressure on Xia Yichu.

Seeing Xia Yichu sitting on the sofa watching TV, Lin Xingcheng suddenly understood Xia Guoan's actions. "That's good," Lin Xingcheng thought, "finally acting like a father again." He said nothing more.

"Brother-in-law, could you please take me to the airport to catch my flight?"

"it is good"

After the two left, Lin Weidong said with a smile, "Guoan, let's go to the market to buy groceries."

Since Xia Guoan wants to stay, let's start by teaching him how to buy groceries, and then gradually teach him other household chores. We need to let him know that being a grandfather isn't easy; you have to be able to do everything.

"Okay, big brother."

Xia Guoan followed behind Lin Weidong like a younger brother, carrying a vegetable basket.

"Guoan, what are your plans after you retire?"

"Brother, to be honest, I want to help Xiao Chu take care of her child, but I don't know if she'd be willing to let me help."

Lin Weidong had been waiting for these words, and he vowed to train Xia Guoan into a dutiful and good grandfather.

"Your intention is commendable, whether or not you'll actually help with the child is another matter. Let me ask you, can you help with childcare? Can you do laundry and cook?"

"I don't know how, but I can learn."

Xia Guoan said confidently that he couldn't fulfill his responsibilities as a father to his daughter. He was determined to be a good grandfather and make up for his regrets as a father.

"Okay, if you're willing to learn, I can find someone to teach you. It just so happens that Mengxi will give birth in about twenty days, so you can learn to take care of the baby while she's there. For now, let's start by learning housework like cooking and washing dishes."

In an instant, Lin Weidong had already figured out his arrangements for Xia Guoan. As long as Xia Guoan studied diligently, he would definitely be able to graduate.

"Okay, big brother, you're too good to me. I really don't know how to thank you."

Xia Guoan was deeply moved. He was even more touched when Lin Weidong called to tell him that Xiao Chu was pregnant, feeling that Lin Weidong now treated him like family.

"Don't be so polite. We're family, we should help each other out."

Lin Weidong said something that made Xia Guoan happy, and along the way he praised him a lot, making Xia Guoan feel very proud.

"We've arrived. Let's go buy a chicken to make soup for Xiao Chu."

"Okay, one chicken might not be enough. How about we buy two chickens?"

"Okay, I'll buy two."

Lin Weidong thought he couldn't dampen Xia Guoan's enthusiasm, so he went along with whatever Xia Guoan said.

The two of them acted like best buddies, and Lin's mother and Xia Yichu were also talking about it.

"Xiao Chu, it seems Xia Guoan retired early because you're pregnant."

Lin's mother now hopes that Xia Yichu and Xia Guoan's relationship can be improved. Xia Guoan has treated Xia Yichu quite well in recent years, especially in terms of money.

"have no idea"

When Xia Yichu heard that Xia Guoan had applied for early retirement, it was both expected and somewhat unexpected. She thought that Xia Guoan would work until retirement.

"Xiao Chu, I know Xia Guoan has wronged you and your son. But you can't take things too seriously in this life. Your mother is unlucky and can't enjoy the blessings Xia Guoan has."

You are different; you can live a good and happy life. If possible, don't argue with Xia Guoan too much.

Life is neither too long nor too short. You have children of your own, so the family atmosphere at home will be better in the future.

Xia Yichu understood what Lin's mother meant, but she didn't know how to get along with Xia Guoan.

"Auntie, I understand."
