Chapter 189: Chapter 189: Mr.Ling coming to visit
The next morning, they only woke up at 9.00 am. That's because Bai Yi Yang received a call from Zhang Yong. She rush to wash her face lightly before wearing a huge hoodie over her sleeping clothes. Her messy hair is hide under the hoodie
"Morning, just woke up?" Zhang Yong said when he saw her coming down to the lobby.
"Yeah." Bai Yi Yang slump on the sofa. There is really no other people in the lobby now except the receptionist.
"I bought everything that you like here. When you go back say hi to the rest for me." On the table, there are two paper bags with the pastry shop logo. Bai Yi Yang grinned happily.
"I am still busy this month, when I am free I will come over." Zhang Yong said again.
"Okay." Bai Yi Yang answer.
"Alright, go up and get ready now. You said the bus may arrive at 9.30 am, return earlier so that you can arrive home early." Zhang Yong said.
"Okay." Bai Yi Yang gave and OK sign. She took the two paper bags and head to the lift again. Before the lift door close, she wave goodbye at Zhang Yong. Zhang Yong laugh helplessly watching her like this, she only said a total of three words to him, she is really that comfortable with him now.
Bai Yi Yang return to their room and went to take a shower first.
Their itinerary today is quite simple, the bus will send them at school, they will take some pictures with their prizes and the principal and teachers, that's why they are required to wear their formal set of clothes then they will be allowed to go back. The three people's parents will come to the school today while she will have Bai Yi Chen. Then they will take pictures, basically it's just taking pictures before they are dismissed.
After her shower, Wang Yi Lin also woke up and get ready quickly. Like that, they all finished getting ready by 9.40 am and head downstairs. They don't have breakfast included in their package, the room price is also quite cheap.
At 9.50 am, the bus finally arrived. The one who pick them up is their female teacher who immediately go and hug the three girls and shake hand with Sir Austin and Li Jian Yu. Along the way, the female teacher is very enthusiastic asking about the competition, it was Ruby An and Sir Austin who talked the most. Wang Yi Lin is also quite close to this teacher since she is also in the R&D club, as for Li Jian Yu and Bai Yi Yang, they only know about her recently, so they are not that close.
Because of this, the journey back is not that quiet, the female teacher also bought some bread and milk box for them so they eat that in the bus as breakfast.
When they arrived at school, it was already 11.30 pm, the principal personally come out to receive them with the school's photographer. The three people parents is also there hugging their children, they are so proud that Wang Yi Lin's mother even shed tears. She thanked Sir Austin and Bai Yi Yang many times for being patient with her when she made a scene before, if they gave up on Wang Yi Lin at that time, she will regret it so much for causing her baby daughter to lose this opportunity.
As for the rest of the time, Bai Yi Yang only chat with the principal while the rest chat with their family, luckily Mr.Ling and Bai Yi Chen arrive not long after to keep her company.
"YangYang, good job." Bai Yi Chen smile and pat her head.
"I told you just to wait for good news." Bai Yi Yang laugh. Seeing this, Mr.Ling is touched, he come over and said a few words to Bai Yi Yang, things such as they as teachers will always be there for them and so on. Bai Yi Yang knows that Mr.Ling wanted to comfort them orphans, she appreciate it.
After that was photo taking session. They basically took a lot of photo, individual pictures, team, with family members, with teachers and principal. The Gold medal was also given to the female teacher which makes her tear up.
Actually, other than their school photographer, there are also two reporters there, taking pictures, they said that they are going to publish it in local news. This is a huge things actually, its just that nobody will think that City Nan team will really got such outstanding results, so the other receive the news a bit late. Some reporters will come and interview them on Monday, according to the principal.
When the session finished, it was already 12.30 pm. Even if they wanted to catch the busy, it is already late, what more Bai Yi Yang have a lot of stuff with her. So, Mr.Ling quickly offered to send them back. Sir Austin wanted to do so at first, but that's mean he need to go back home to take his car first before sending them and he is also travel worn, he should rest. Mr.Ling will be more convenient sending the two siblings.
Bai Yi Chen help load up Bai Yi Yang stuff into the trunk and sat in front to show the way. Bai Yi Chen is quite close to Mr.Ling, there is no need for Bai Yi Yang to find topics of conversation. Up to this day, she is really not that close to Mr.Ling. She just doesn't have the talent to befriend teachers like Ruby An, even towards Sir Austin. As for Zhou Zhu Yao's friend Teacher Hong who is also a teacher in their school, well it's a different case since she first know her outside.
Along the way, Bai Yi Yang called Bai Yi Ling, telling them to go home first, they will go straight home since their teacher is sending them. The children immediately get excited since that's mean she will be home soon too. Bai Yi Yang have been gone for too long, the children missed her so much. Zhou Zhu Yao also talk with her a bit and she said that she will be going with the children since she have the second key to their house other than the one in Bai Yi Chen's hand.
So, when they arrived at the village, they told Mr.Ling to head straight to the mountain road.
"The road is quite good." Mr.Ling was worried at first but then the road is better than he thought.
"We have orchard at the top of the mountain, so they often do some maintenance at the road as well." Bai Yi Chen said. That is really that case this past few months, if there are slight hole on the road, the next day the people will bring some small rocks to fill in the hole.
"Your family have an orchard?" Mr.Ling ask. He never heard about this before. He knows that them siblings have some money left from their parents insurance, then Bai Yi Chen and Bai Yi Yang did some farming works too, but Bai Yi Chen told him before that it was just for their siblings to eat. Since when did they have a an orchard?
"Yes. It hasn't been long since we start selling produce from the orchard too." Bai Yi Chen answer. Mr.Ling ask a few more things about the orchard but when he arrived in front of their gate did he realise that Bai Yi Chen is really too humble when he described about their house and vegetables field before.
Where is this an old courtyard house? He almost thought that he stopped at the wrong place, the courtyard house is maintained well, from the gate that is open wide, the interior is not something that a typical courtyard house in a village look like. No wonder the Class 1 student often call the twins as rich kids. Where is this a small vegetable field for the siblings to eat? When he look at the vegetables field, he can see that there are more than 100 patches in total. Even the road to the orchard can be seen to be well maintained.
Bai Yi Yang ignore the shocked look of Mr.Ling and open the car door. Bai Yi Chen also invite Mr.Ling to stop by for a while which Mr.Ling didn't reject since he is very curious about the siblings life.
Just when they all step out of the car, three children came running from inside, the bigger girl is wearing QiYing Primary School uniform and the two smaller child are wearing everyday clothes. Mr.Ling immediately guessed their identity, he have met Bai Yi Ling before but it was long time ago when the children went to register at the school, at that time he wasn't the twins homeroom teacher but he have seen them. As for the two smaller one, he never seen them before.
"Jie!" The three children ignore the rest of them and ran to hug Bai Yi Yang, three people at once. Mr.Ling smile watching this sibling close with each other, well they may not have their parents but at least they have each other. This is something that Mr.Ling never experience since he only have an older brother with huge age gap. When Mr.Ling saw a kitten and two puppies also running over towards Bai Yi Yang, he becomes even more envious of their good relationship.
"Have you been well?" Bai Yi Yang kiss her siblings one by one.
"En, Fang Fang is not naughty but xiao gege is naughty." Bai Yi Fang said, asking for praise.
"I am not. Jie, I remember all you words." Bai Yi Mo deny it.
"Both of you are the same." Bai Yi Ling humphed and said in the end.
"Good, good. We talk again later. Oh right, this is my homeroom teacher, Mr.Ling." Bai Yi Yang said.
"Hello Mr.Ling." The three children quickly greet him and bow politely. Bai Yi Yang always told them about being respectful to teachers. Hearing that Mr.Ling is a teacher, they become extra careful with their manners.
"Hello. Nice to meet you." Mr.Ling smile widened.
"YangYang, invite Mr.Ling inside first. I will take care of your luggage." Bai Yi Chen said.
"Okay." Bai Yi Yang nod. She quickly invite Mr.Ling inside. They passed by the central courtyard heading towards the Main house.
Mr.Ling can finally confirm his deduction earlier. The courtyard house has a total of 4 sides, when they enter, they will see the central courtyard which have quite simple but tasteful design, then on the left side, he can see a wide open door and windows, he also smells food coming from there so it must be the kitchen. At the right side have the door closed, but he can assume that it may be the bedrooms. Then in front, the two wooden door is widely open and he can see the decorations inside, it must be the living room.
"Yi Yang, you are back." Zhou Zhu Yao who was busy in the kitchen call out from the door, even Mr.Ling look over. Well, he don't have information about this woman.
"Yao Yao jie." Bai Yi Yang smile.
"Right, this is my teacher, Mr.Ling. Mr.Ling, this is my aunt, Miss Zhou Zhu Yao." Bai Yi Yang introduced the two person.
"Hello Miss Zhou." Mr.Ling said politely.
"Hello Mr.Ling. Thank you for sending the children home, please stay for lunch if you are not busy." Zhou Zhu Yao smile back.
"Yes Mr.Ling, stay for lunch." Bai Yi Yang also said.
"Then, I will trouble you." Mr.Ling nod.
After that, Bai Yi Yang proceed to bring him to the living room, she invite him to sit at the guests receiving area. Only when Mr.Ling is seated did he realise what kind of life the children is living now, he relaxed a lot too. Bai Yi Yang and the two small children sat in front of Mr.Ling together with TongTong in Bai Yi Yang lap while Bai Yi Ling went to the kitchen to bring some refreshing drinks. Bai Yi Ling didn't bring any other stuff because they are going to have lunch soon.
"Mr.Ling, please have a drink." Bai Yi Ling said, this is a drink that she made herself. A lemon mint drink with soda. Zhou Zhu Yao said the taste was okay so she pour some for Mr.Ling.
"Its good. Thank you." Mr.Ling had a taste and praise.
To be honest, Mr.Ling is also the awkward type of people, so when he is seated there with the four Bai siblings without Bai Yi Chen, it was quite awkward. Luckily Bai Yi Chen also finished bringing in Bai Yi Yang stuff in no time and he sit together to chat with them.
"Jie, Zhu Yao jie said that we can eat lunch now." Bai Yi Mo who went to the kitchen return not long after. He was told to check the progress in the kitchen by Bai Yi Yang.
"Okay. Mr.Ling, let's go to the kitchen." Bai Yi Yang said. She walk in front with her siblings and let Bai Yi Chen bring Mr.Ling over.
"What did Zhu Yao jiejie cook?" Bai Yi Yang ask Bai Yi Ling in low voice. She is a bit worried.
"Jie, don't worry, everything is from our fridge, we only pick some leek for her to stir fry just now." Bai Yi Ling said.
And when they arrived at the diner table, there are indeed a few different dishes. There are fried meatballs, steamed pork belly with taro, steamed stuffed tofu, pan fried dumplings and stir fry leek. Zhou Zhu Yao is scooping rice now while Bai Yi Mo is helping to bring it over, as for TongTong, it is already waiting in front of its full plate.
Bai Yi Yang set the air conditioning and they all take a seat in the diner table when all the dishes are brought over.
"Mr.Ling, please enjoy the meal, they are all your student's masterpiece, I only know how to cook stir fry leek." Zhou Zhu Yao said.
"And fried eggs." Bai Yi Fang add in the ends. The Bai siblings immediately laugh.
"Thank you. Please." Mr.Ling lift up his chopsticks and take some dishes. The table is not that big, an adult can still reach for all the dishes at the centre of the table, what more, Zhou Zhu Yao who is seated on his left side often ask him to try this and that dish.
Well, the food is really delicious. Everything is delicious so he also eat a lot, he even add another bowl of rice. Zhou Zhu Yao told him about how Bai Yi Yang made all of this in advance, they can just fry or steam the food. How convenient. Not only clever, Bai Yi Yang is also a very good cook, if he wasn't trying to be modest, he would have add another bowl of rice.
After lunch, Zhou Zhu Yao continue being the host and bring over some cut fruits that she found in the fridge. They are fruits from the orchard. They are tired of eating it but it was interesting for Mr.Ling.
"Their orchard produce good fruits, have more." Zhou Zhu Yao said.
Bai Yi Yang went to look at their fruits storage compartment in the fridge and saw that there are a lot of fruits so she pack some for Mr.Ling to bring back. She will give it when he go back later.
"Your children will love it." Zhou Zhu Yao comment.
"Ah..that..I am single." Mr.Ling awkwardly said when they were sending him out with the fruits. He cannot stay long because there are evening session starting at 1.00 pm, he is actually late for 1 hour now, but it is fine since it is only self study session.
"Oh, forgive me..I don't know. Anyway, please enjoy it." Zhou Zhu Yao said.
"Thank you. See you on Monday." Mr.Ling said before entering his car with the fruits. Zhou Zhu Yao and the Bai siblings stay until he drove away.
"Jie..you.." Bai Yi Yang finally burst out laughing. It was so awkward.
"How will I know that he is single." Zhou Zhu Yao pinch Bai Yi Yang lightly and giggle too.
