Of course, it would be best if she could be like her!
...
It was noon the next day.
Aoli Village.
Captain Kang was preparing to leave the office to go ho for lunch when the phone suddenly rang.
"Hello, this is the Aoli Village production team, who am I speaking to?"
Picking up the receiver, Captain Kang asked.
"It’s ."
Cai Xiufen’s voice ca from the other end of the line.
"What’s going on? Did sothing happen to Li Bao?" Captain Kang’s heart tightened, and he quickly heard Cai Xiufen start to talk about what happened to Kang Li, which made Captain Kang very anxious: "Why didn’t you call earlier?"
"How could I manage that? You old fool, if you keep losing your temper with , I’ll hang up, believe it or not."
"Sothing so big happened to Li Bao, and you’re telling now, aren’t you being unreasonable?"
"And what could telling you do?"
"What do you an what could it do? Li Bao is my daughter. If I knew she was missing, I would have rushed to North City imdiately to look for her."
"Many people are looking for Li Bao, and considering Yanqing and Li Bao’s status, the leaders directly arranged for troops and public security to search for her..."
"How is that the sa? My daughter is missing, and I, as her father, didn’t know, nor did I search for her. Haven’t you thought that I would be worried sick?"
"Alright! I called you because I thought you might hear it from Yangyang and get anxious. Rest assured, Li Bao is doing fine now. Also, I have good news: our Li Bao is pregnant!"
"What? What did you say?"
Captain Kang’s eyes widened.
"I said our Li Bao is pregnant, did you hear it clearly now?"
"But Li Bao is overseas, what should we do?"
"What’s there to do? It’s all arranged. Soon, two people will go abroad to protect Li Bao. Besides, Li Bao was taken abroad by Grandma Yu’s relatives. Won’t they take care of our Li Bao? Plus, Yanqing said he’d take to see Li Bao abroad later...
Cai Xiufen went on and on, but deep down, she was more worried about Kang Li’s safety than anyone else, especially now that Kang Li was pregnant and couldn’t afford any mishaps.
But Cai Xiufen also knew that once Kang Li decided on sothing, it was usually hard to change.
"Li Bao wants to study abroad, to get so kind of PhD?"
"Yes, that’s what Li Bao and Yanqing said."
"This will probably take several years, right?"
"Yanqing said with Li Bao’s learning ability, she can do it in two or three years."
"I see... then you have to help take good care of Ruirui and the others. Once I finish my work here... I’ll go to North City with Big Brother and his wife."
"Are you still going to be the team leader?"
"I’m already this old, not as energetic as the young ones. Besides, we’ve already implented the household responsibility system, and it’s a good opportunity for young people to showcase their talents."
Captain Kang made it clear that he wanted to step down and give the opportunity to the younger generation to lead the villagers to prosperity.
To be honest, Captain Kang didn’t really want to step down from his position. It’s not because he was attached to the little power, but because he wanted to continue contributing to the village, after all, he was an organized person.
But what happened to Kang Li recently made Captain Kang make the painful decision. He had to go to North City, and hopefully later, go abroad with Luo Yanqing to see his precious daughter. When his precious daughter returns from abroad, he would stay in North City, beside his precious daughter.
Yes, he was afraid, afraid of losing this daughter, even if...
Without thinking further, Captain Kang continued speaking into the phone: "In no more than half a month, I’ll leave with Big Brother and them."
Cai Xiufen: "Alright."
"When you receive another call from Li Bao, rember to remind her to take good care of herself. She’s so far away; we, as parents, can’t look after her easily, especially with her being pregnant. We can’t afford to be careless!"
"Got it."
Cai Xiufen responded.
The two chatted a bit more before ending the call.
...
"Dad, what’s wrong?"
With hands behind his back, Captain Kang walked into the main hall and sat on the bamboo chair. Seeing his father with a serious face and a troubled look, Big Brother Kang couldn’t help but feel curious.
"Li Bao... Li Bao went missing half a month ago; we only got confird news yesterday."
"What?" Big Brother Kang was stunned. The next mont, he ca to his senses, eyes full of anxiety: "Dad, what did you say? Li Bao is missing?"
Captain Kang made a sound of acknowledgnt.
"Then we must quickly go to North City to find Li Bao, Dad!"
Big Brother Kang was anxiously pacing around, about to call out to Elder sister-in-law Kang in the backyard, when Captain Kang stopped him, sounding annoyed: "Did you even listen to everything I said just now?"
