Chapter 806 - 806: A Promising Future for Xiaobao
What the old couple thinks, Xuan Jiayi and her husband don't know.
Because she's pregnant, Sibao also goes to bed early to keep his wife company.
"You can go have fun, I can sleep by myself."
"Then I'll go play for a bit and entertain friends."
"Alright, you go ahead."
Sibao turns around after a few steps and asks with a smile, "Really don't want me to stay with you?"
Xuan Jiayi is saying one thing and meaning another, "Really, you go ahead and be busy."
Sibao laughs heartily, "I know what you're thinking, I'll leave them to entertain the guests outside, and we'll rest early."
Xuan Jiayi understands the bigger picture and pushes Sibao away.
"I'm serious!"
"It's a joyous day, there are so many guests outside, it's not appropriate for us to stay inside!"
"And there are many relatives here too! They'll say we don't know how to handle things."
Sibao is completely unconcerned and waves his hand.
"No problem!"
"Second Sister and the others are outside, they'll help entertain everyone."
Sibao says, looking somewhat fatigued, "Besides, weddings are exhausting, I really want to rest."
Xuan Jiayi glances at him carefully, then laughs, "Alright! We'll happily decide it this way."
Sibao hugs her, both of them having cheerful and carefree personalities, and they fall asleep together.
He sleeps comfortably here.
Over there, Erbao is exhausted, wishing she had three heads and six arms.
Having been married for years, Qinjiang is away often, leaving Erbao to go out and have fun frequently.
Yet, it's always in moderation, because her identity is different, and her husband's family isn't ordinary.
As skillful as she is, there are too many guests, so she pulls in siblings to help entertain.
Finally, the party ends.
Looking at the time, it's one o'clock in the morning, and Erbao collapses on the sofa.
Sanbao comes over to massage her shoulders and asks, "Second Sister, why haven't I seen Second Brother-in-law?"
Erbao responds lazily, "Today he just showed up as a formality, then disappeared."
It's not easy for him to even attend.
Given his special position, it's not easy for him to come out like this.
Erbao understands and doesn't say anything, but still feels some emotions sometimes.
After all, being a woman, who wouldn't want her husband to be by her side, taking care of her all the time?
Erbao sighs and doesn't dwell on it further.
She made her choice for a husband and must bear with it.
She glances at Shao Yang, chatting with Dabo not far away, and asks gently.
"When are you two getting married?"
Sanbao smiles, "No rush, I can get married anytime."
Erbao doesn't say more, "You should go rest soon."
Once Sanbao and Shao Yang leave, Dabo and Cai Xia come over, "Tell Sibao that we're leaving tomorrow morning."
Erbao smiles, "Alright, you guys can go."
With their departure, the lively atmosphere slowly dies down.
Sibao's wedding, while not too extravagant, was definitely grand.
The Xuan Family marrying off a daughter, the Lin family gaining a daughter-in-law, neither family needed money to put on airs.
Many media outlets have been reporting on this event, and after the wedding, Lin Feng sees these reports as if they just happened.
Sibao's wife is pregnant, which is currently the top priority of the entire family, receiving much attention.
The family has hung a calendar, clearly marking Xuan Jiayi's due date.
Zhang Yuxi crosses off a day every morning.
In eager anticipation, Xiaobao gets an opportunity to collaborate with a world-renowned director.
It's merely an opportunity; she still needs to get the part through audition.
Growing up under everyone's care, Xiaobao can walk unchallenged in the entertainment industry.
Yet, she's not only good at acting; she's humble and of good character.
She can't compare academically to her siblings, and looks wise, she's somewhat less than Sanbao, but in the entertainment industry, her looks stand out.
Whenever there's a count of looks, family background, or acting skills, she's always at the top.
And how old is she?
The future looks promising.
The news of her collaboration with the big director spreads quickly, and major media begin promoting.
Xiaobao is low-key, but whenever there's a topic about her, she draws attention.
"Dad, I'll go with my agent's team. You don't need to accompany me."
Erbao found Xiaobao a professional team, leaving Lin Feng, the former agent dad, out of a job.
"Alright, remember to call when you get there, and call if there's anything."
"While out, if you want to eat or buy something, don't hesitate to spend money."
"Even if you don't get the role, consider it a nice break."
Watching his daughter board the plane, Lin Feng feels bittersweet.
The youngest of the family is about to fly high on her own.
Hmm, seems she's grown taller again this year...
Lin Feng checks the time and the weather—it's sunny outside—time to go home.
Lin Feng's parents are getting old, spending their twilight years in the countryside.
Neither of them attended Dabo's and Sibao's weddings, leaving them with regret.
They hope to meet Sibao's child once born.
A few days ago, the maids said the old couple was looking for a cemetery.
Lin Feng felt his parents were making a fuss, but since Lin Rui already bought one, he let them be.
Returning to the rural home, in the yard, several elderly men and women gather around for warmth, still wearing thick winter coats.
Seeing Lin Feng, they all greet him.
The elderly couple, seeing their son, beams like children and wobble over to greet him.
"Did Yuxi come?"
Learning that his daughter-in-law and grandchildren didn't come, a hint of disappointment flashes, quickly replaced by a smile, as they ask the maid to bring over a chair.
Lin Feng sits among a group of elderly, nibbling on sunflower seeds, listening to their chatter.
With dim eyes, each talks to themselves.
"Uncle Zhang, you're looking good lately."
"I've eaten, today I had a big bowl of porridge and soaked half a bun."
Just then, a crew-cut young man passes by on an e-bike.
Lin Feng vaguely remembers him, seems he's here to install fiber optics.
"This guy, I heard he steals, frequently sneaking into houses to take things."
"Oh, he should be set up with a girl..."
"As a kid he was cute, now he looks like a bandit leader, ugly beyond words."
The old folks continue chatting, each contributing their part.
Lin Feng keeps munching seeds, listening to their chatter—it has its charms.
Everyone knows he knows some medical skills, runs a pharmacy.
The medicine is pricey, the rates quite appealing.
Locals only get these rates through Lin Feng's connections.
Now, he's the elders' favorite, every visit home surrounded by requests for check-ups.
Initially, it was always the elderly, then even those in their thirties and forties started showing up.
With poor habits, routines, and work conditions, even the young are plagued with ailments.
