Lin Chang'er picked up a fried small fish and said casually, "She said that some cousin brought a letter from home to Yan Qing and Zhao Ge'er."
Grandma Bai said "Oh," and seeing that she didn't want to talk about it anymore, she didn't press her, and smoothly changed the subject, "How are Yanqing and Zhao'er doing?"
Lin Chang'er said, "Yan Qing said things went smoothly and we can return in a few days. Zhao Ge'er is a bit carefree. He wrote a letter to me, one and a half pages of which were about the interesting things he encountered there. At the end, he greeted his father."
Grandma Bai laughed heartily, "It is indeed something he can do."
Lin Chang'er pursed her lips and continued, "Brother Bai has been away for quite some time this time. Has he written to you?"
Grandma Bai took a sip of soup. "Every three to five days, a letter arrives, saying that in a few more days, they will have thoroughly explored the entire coastal area of Ninghai Prefecture."
Lin Chang'er said apologetically, "It's really been hard on Brother Bai." If she hadn't been unable to leave and couldn't find anyone more suitable than Bai Shao'an, she wouldn't have separated the grandfather and grandson.
Grandma Bai waved her hand, "Don't talk about hardship or not, you're being too polite. I used to always restrain him, but now he truly understands what it means to be free as a bird in the sky and a fish in the sea. He's very happy!"
On the contrary, if he were to be confined at home as before, he would probably go crazy.
Of course, since arriving in Linshui Village, the grandfather and grandson have found a new source of fun.
Whether teaching children to read, teaching women self-defense, or fighting pirates with the villagers and eating communal meals, they can feel their own vitality.
This was something she hadn't dared to imagine for over a decade.
Hearing her say that, Lin Chang'er smiled and said, "You've been in town for quite a while this time. Has everything been settled at your house there? Now that you're back, you can finally settle in without worry, right?"
"In another seven or eight days, Uncle Hai's new house will be completed. Aunt Zhou said that she insists that you, Old Madam, sit at the head table."
Aunt Gu knew about this, so she chimed in, "That's exactly what her aunt said. Shao'an is currently traveling for business, and you'll be alone there if you go back, so why don't you stay at home? It'll be more lively with more people. If you find the children noisy, you can choose a quiet place to stay in one of the two courtyards in front."
Grandma Bai was both amused and exasperated. The carriage ride from town was only half an incense stick's time, and the houses in town had been severely damaged by the flood during this period.
Many of the items she had painstakingly preserved were also damaged, and it took her a great deal of effort to find someone to restore them.
She stayed in town a little longer. Although Chang'er didn't make a special trip to town to see her, she would send her things and greetings every now and then.
Grandma Bai's smile overflowed from her eyes. "Little sister, I'm taking that seriously. Don't complain later that I'm staying at your house."
The others at the table burst into laughter.
Lin Chang'er replied, "My mother wishes you could be with her every day. By the way..."
Grandma Bai only returned from town this morning, and there are many things she doesn't know.
Lin Chang'er then told Old Madam Bai everything about how she had found adoptive parents in Su County and how Headmaster Chen wanted to adopt her as his goddaughter.
Grandma Bai couldn't hide the smile in her eyes. "This is a good thing! You lost your father at a young age, and now you have three more people to protect you. I'm happy for you. As for Headmaster Chen, I don't need to say anything, but I wonder where your godparents come from?"
