Chapter 587: Chapter 587: Competing to Stay Home to Guard the Door

”I did call over a week ago, and it was my dad who answered. I told him we’d be coming back soon but didn’t specify the exact day to him.”

Cai Xiufen: ”Are you trying to surprise your dad?”

Kang Li grinned and nodded: ”If we suddenly show up at home, my dad and Big Brother Kang will definitely be overjoyed.”

”Your dad always has a stern face. Even if he’s happy, he won’t let it show,” Cai Xiufen teased Captain Kang, then added, ”When you get home, remember to take Yanqing and the children to visit your grandparents.”

”Don’t worry, Mom. I have gifts prepared not only for my grandparents but also for my eldest uncle, his wife, and my younger uncles and aunts!” Compared to city dwellers, rural folks place more emphasis on relationships.

Moreover, the elders at home, including the grandparents and the eldest uncle, all particularly adored the original owner of her body, just like Captain Kang’s family, they spoiled and loved the original owner.

And now that she was the youngest daughter of the Old Kang’s Home in Aoli Village, she naturally had to assume and bear all responsibilities of the original owner.

To reciprocate the love of her family, she would do everything possible to protect those who cherished, spoiled, and loved her!

Two days later.

Aoli Village.

Early in the morning, before leaving for work, Captain Kang said to his family: ”I heard the city kids got off school a few days ago. I figure that Li Bao with the kids should be arriving in these next couple of days. You all should decide who will stay home to keep watch, so that Li Bao doesn’t find the doors locked when she arrives.”

”Grandpa, you’re not tricking us, are you?”

This was the voice of Kang Yichen, the second son of Big Brother Kang.

”Yeah, yeah, Grandpa, are you sure you’re not tricking us?”

All of the grandchildren at home, except for the two sons of Second Brother Kang, Guosheng, whose eyes lit up, were looking at Captain Kang for confirmation, including the two sons of Fourth Brother Kang.

”Last time, your little aunt did call the team office, saying that Ruirui and the others would be coming back as soon as the summer vacation started, and it just so happened that your uncle should also have time off, so they would come back together.”

Just last night, as he was about to sleep, Captain Kang had the feeling that his beloved daughter and his wife were on their way back to Aoli Village. Thus, early this morning, he thought of giving the family a heads up, so his daughter and son-in-law could enter the house as soon as they arrived.

”I’ll stay home to keep watch!”

Excited faces of different ages in the family all raised their hands and shouted in unison.

Big Brother Kang asked Captain Kang: ”Dad, is Mom coming back with them?”

”Mm-hmm,” Captain Kang nodded: ”Yiyu would have come back too, but he is busy at work and can’t get away, so he’s not returning this time.”

Big Brother Kang asked again: ”What about Lao Wu?”

”Working in the city means having very few days off. A round trip from North City to our place takes at least four days. Even if Little Wu wants to come back, it’s hard for him to get away from work.”

Implicitly meaning that Kang Guoan wouldn’t be able to come back either.

Right now, there are no long holidays like National Day or Chinese New Year, nor are there shorter ones like New Year’s Day or Mid-Autumn Festival. Therefore, for those working far away, who need a long time to travel, it is indeed difficult to return to their hometown even once a year.

Of course, if they took leave, that would be a different matter.

After a short discussion among the family, it was finally decided that Third sister-in-law Kang, the youngest son of the third household, Kang Yiyu, and the youngest of the fourth household, Kang Yihang, also known as Doudou, would stay home to keep watch.

The reason for this arrangement was that Third sister-in-law Kang was found to be unexpectedly pregnant in mid-February, and the baby in her belly was about five months along by now. Without any objection from Elder sister-in-law Kang, it was decided to leave such a pregnant woman at home.

As for the youngest son of the third household, that is, the youngest of Third Brother Kang and Third sister-in-law Kang, Kang Yiyu, he’s one of the youngest among the current grandchildren along with Kang Yihang, nicknamed Doudou, both seven years old.
