Avoid worrying about what hasn’t happened yet and losing sleep over it.
Shifting her focus, Elder sister-in-law Kang brought the topic back to Kang Li: "Do you think Li Bao really won’t co back for three years?"
"Li Bao didn’t say that. But he is going abroad to study for three years to get that degree, and since Bun and the others are still so young, coming back ho isn’t easy and it’s a waste of ti."
"You’re making sense, but in that case, won’t Ruirui and the others not see Li Bao for three years?"
"Why worry unnecessarily! Li Bao calls Ruirui and the others almost every week, and he already ntioned early on that when Ruirui and the others have sumr vacation, he’ll arrange for them to go abroad, so they won’t beco distant."
"Okay, okay, I’m worrying unnecessarily. When are our parents coming back? Could they be staying there permanently?"
"This saying that won have long hair but little knowledge is so spot on. Just think about it, what reason do our parents have to stay abroad for more than two years?"
"..."
Elder sister-in-law Kang was at a loss, she didn’t understand that kind of thing.
"Li Bao is abroad for further studies and can stay for three years, but our parents are visiting relatives this ti, and Yanqing is there for a group tour study, which all have ti limits," explained Big Brother Kang, pausing briefly before continuing: "If nothing unexpected happens, our parents should stay no more than another month and return together with Yanqing."
Elder sister-in-law Kang: "I don’t really know what it’s like abroad."
Big Brother Kang: "Didn’t you see the photos Li Bao sent back?"
Elder sister-in-law Kang: "I saw them, but you can only see such a small area in the photos."
"If you want to go abroad, wait until your son achieves sothing, and see if they’ll take you to have a look around. As for Li Bao, just forget about it."
"The way you’re talking, how could I possibly badger Li Bao to take abroad? I’m just a bit curious, that’s all, and besides, there might be foreigners everywhere, but it’s not necessarily all that great."
"Alright, let’s sleep. I’m so tired, I can barely keep my eyes open."
Yawning, Big Brother Kang closed his eyes and soon fell into a deep sleep.
...
Abroad.
Jiang family estate.
"Brother-in-law," Allen ca to the Jiang family estate almost every other day since Kang Li finished her confinent, sticking close to her and playing with Bun and the other two.
Knowing Kang Li had studies during the day and was busy with other things, Allen usually ca by in the late afternoon.
Jiang Hongfa and Jiang Boya were quite okay with his frequent visits because, after all, Allen was a descendant of the Jiang family. Though they hadn’t openly acknowledged it, they had already accepted it in their hearts.
Thus, Allen could co whenever he wanted, and neither of them had objections.
In contrast, Luo Yanqing wasn’t thrilled, feeling Allen was like a third wheel, clingy, competing for Kang Li’s attention, sticking to his dear girl, wishing he could push Allen far away from Kang Li.
In other words, she was putting all the bla on others for her current situation, not looking at her own problems.
It’s truly sad, pitiful, and lantable!
The night outside was quiet, the moonlight spilling like water; separated by a wall, the original room where Cai Xiufen and Captain Kang lived was now occupied by Elder sister-in-law Kang and Big Brother Kang. At this mont, Elder sister-in-law Kang turned over, lying on her side facing Big Brother Kang, she said:
"Isn’t Li Bao amazing? Many years of being diagnosed by doctors with congenital weakness and unlikely to have kids, yet, now pregnant with three at once and delivering them safely, truly blessed!"
Big Brother Kang laughed and said: "Yes, Li Bao is indeed very blessed. I still rember when our parents brought back Little Wu and Li Bao from the clinic, we were all delighted upon seeing him,
wanting to offer all our best things to Li Bao, competing to hold him, thinking we could gain his good fortune. Because of this, our parents often gave us warning looks, cautioning if we scared him, we’d face the family punishnt!"
Listening to Big Brother Kang’s words, Elder sister-in-law Kang couldn’t help but laugh: "You and Second Brother were so naughty, you were much older than Li Bao and Little Wu then."
"It’s nothing, we always wished for a little sister, plus the day Li Bao was brought ho by our mom, even though he was tiny, honestly looked like a glutinous rice bun, white and cute."
Recalling the first sight of the baby sister in the swaddle, Big Brother Kang felt all warm inside, his voice becoming softly tender.
"You all wanted to hold Li Bao, but didn’t consider Fifth Brother’s feelings?"
