I'm back in 1990

Chapter 1048: The Elderly Couple's Heartfelt Wishes

Book lovers are all in the discussion area, chatting about the charm of urban novels.

"I must say, it's a pretty good name." Huang Xiaochuan could only praise his daughter. Could he say that they shouldn't have named this little guy?

Huang Xiaochuan looked around, seemingly not seeing Yu Xiang, and casually asked his daughter, "Where's your mother?"

Huang Ruiying told her father about her mother's whereabouts: "My mother hasn't come back yet. I called her. She was out running errands and happened to pass by my uncle's house, so she brought back some milk for August."

"Oh!" Huang Xiaochuan nodded to indicate that he understood. Before going upstairs, he reminded him again, "Alright, don't keep holding her. She's too small. You can't keep holding her. Put her down quickly."

"Oh!" Although Huang Ruiying was somewhat reluctant, she still handed the baby, August, to the nanny.

After Yu Xiang returned, Huang Xiaochuan told her about the clues the police had found.

Unexpectedly, Yu Xiang didn't seem to care whether the police could find the young woman who abandoned August; instead, she expressed concern that August would be sent to an orphanage.

"You know, August is so young. If we send her to an orphanage, will they be able to take good care of her? Won't someone bully her in the future?"

Huang Xiaochuan knew that Yu Xiang was reluctant to part with August, so he gently put his arm around Yu Xiang's shoulder and said, "The police said they asked us to take care of her for a while longer, as they need to conduct a further investigation."

Over the next few days, August, who was being carefully cared for, changed almost every few days. Her little face became rounder and rounder, her skin became fair and rosy, and her eyes were like two black grapes. She loved to stare at people and would smile from time to time. Everyone who saw this little thing loved her.

Even Huang Zeji, who doesn't usually show his emotions, would sometimes stand by the crib and look at August, and would even play with her for a while.

Zeng Hong and Zeng Xia, the two sisters, come every day; they really love it.

Huang Xiaochuan witnessed this entire scene.

During this period, there was no new information from the police, and Huang Xiaochuan was too lazy to ask anyone to urge them. He decided to leave it at that for now.

He himself was unaware that, subconsciously, he didn't want the police to find the woman who abandoned August so quickly, and he even automatically blocked out the words "orphanage".

However, Lao Huang and Zeng Lijuan called every few days to inquire about the situation, but Huang Xiaochuan brushed them off each time.

In addition, Huang Zemian was about to report to the military academy, so the elderly couple put the matter aside for the time being.

"Here you go!" Zeng Lijuan handed a savings card to her eldest grandson, Huang Zemian.

Old Huang added from the side, "This is the pocket money your grandma and I gave you. The password is your birthday. Take it with you."

"No, no, I have money!" Huang Zemian firmly declined.

"Why are you becoming more and more disobedient as you grow up?" Zeng Lijuan said, getting impatient.

Huang Zemian affectionately put his arm around his grandmother's shoulder: "Grandma, I've already told you, military academy provides everything, and there's a monthly allowance. Plus, I've saved up all the New Year's money over the years, so I'm not short of money. Besides, there aren't many places to spend money at military academy."

Old Huang still disagreed, his attitude firm: "Your money is your money. This is what your grandma and I gave you. Whether you use it or not is up to you, whether we give it to you or not is up to us. Keep it."

Jiang Rong also advised her son, "Take it. When you become successful in the future, just be a good son to your grandparents."

Seeing that his mother had said so, Huang Zemian had no choice but to accept the savings card.

"Thank you, Grandma! Thank you, Grandpa!"

Old Huang asked his eldest grandson, "What time are you leaving tomorrow? Around what time will you arrive?"

Huang Zemian explained his itinerary to his grandfather in detail: "The flight is at 7:50 in the morning, and I will arrive before lunchtime."

Zeng Lijuan complained to her eldest daughter-in-law, "You two are the same. Why couldn't you see him off? You had to let him go alone. If it were in Shanghai, I wouldn't say anything, but this is the first time he's gone to such a far place by himself. How can you be so careless?"

Jiang Rong was filled with grievance: "Mom, he wouldn't let me deliver it himself, what am I supposed to do?"

In fact, Jiang Rong really wanted to personally send her son to register for military school. He was her only son, and he would be leaving her side to go to military school tomorrow. Of course, she was reluctant to part with him, so she especially wanted to spend more time with him.

Unfortunately, her husband, Huang Dahai, did not support her, and her son, Huang Zemian, insisted on going to school to register on his own, so she had no choice but to compromise.

Sometimes she resented her husband. For such an important event as their son getting into university, he only called to congratulate them and didn't come back at all, let alone take their son to register. Jiang Rong got angry just thinking about it. If he had come back to take their son to register together, their son probably wouldn't have refused.

As they were talking, Huang Erhe and his family of five arrived. This was arranged by Old Huang; the whole family would have dinner together tonight to send off their eldest grandson, Huang Zemian.

"Second Uncle, Second Aunt!" Huang Zemian greeted his second uncle and second aunt politely.

"Everything's fine. There's not much to bring, just some changes of clothes and toiletries. The school will provide the rest. My dad said that if I bring too much, I might have to send it back later."

Huang Erhe was a demobilized soldier, so he understood what he meant. Military academies are managed according to the active duty regulations of the military, so the housekeeping is uniform. Moreover, the dormitory storage space is only so big, and it is basically not allowed to put items brought from home. So it is better to bring less stuff. If you really need something, you can just go to the store to buy it. There is no need to carry it all the way there.

Of course, there is basically nothing to lack. Nowadays, the military's support is getting better and better, with abundant and sufficient supplies. There are many sets of clothing, from the inside out, covering all environments for daily use, training, and ceremonial purposes throughout the year.

After exchanging a few words with his uncle, Huang Erhe went to talk to the old man.

Cheng Jing, Jiang Rong, and her mother-in-law were talking together. Tang Jianhua had arranged for a chef and waiters to come and cook the dinner tonight, and even brought the ingredients, so they didn't have to lift a finger.

"Brother!" Maowa and Miguo greeted Huang Zemian.

"Dandan, hurry up and call him brother," Migo urged her younger sister.

Little Dandan, who was eager to run to the garden to play, greeted him perfunctorily, "Hello, brother!" Then she pulled her sister to the garden. There was a big fish pond in her grandparents' yard, with many big fish in it, red, yellow, black and white, which were very beautiful.

After Migo took her younger sister to the yard.

Huang Zemian asked Maowa, "I heard there's been some progress on your study abroad application?"

Mao Wa nodded: "Yes, UC, I'll be leaving at the end of the year."

According to the normal procedure, Maowa should have gone to Los Angeles after graduating from high school, but his aunt used some connections to help him get his high school diploma early. This way, he could go to the United States a year earlier. After all, he wanted to study medicine, and the time span was too long. It was better to go a year earlier than a year later.

Huang Zemian solemnly extended his hand: "Then I wish you all the best and that you will complete your studies soon."

Maowa also extended his hand, and the two brothers shook hands firmly.

I also wish you success in your studies.

The two brothers talked for a while. One of them was going to study abroad for more than ten years, and the other would be going to the army after graduating from military academy. They didn't know when they would meet again.
