“Sister-in-law, Yu Bing hasn’t held the baby yet, right?” Song Li reminded her.
Wang Yun patted her forehead gently and carried her son up from the inside of the bed with a smile. “Yes. I was so happy to see Yu Bing just now that I forgot to show you our baby. Little Treasure is a nickname we gave him. Speaking of which, this is the first time Little Treasure has seen you.”
Yu Bing was instantly enthralled as she stared blankly at the sleeping child in Wang Yun’s arms. ...
There were only a few strands of hair on Little Treasure’s head. His eyelashes were long and curly, and his small mouth was slightly open. The commotion just now didn’t wake him up.
Seeing this, Wang Yun handed her son to Yu Bing and whispered jokingly, “Hold him. You saved Little Treasure. Don’t blame me for being biased. I just want him to benefit from your good fortune.”
Hearing Wang Yun’s words, Yu Bingxin felt a little moved and her eyes reddened a little. “I have too many bacteria on my hands. I’ll go wash my hands first.”
With that, she went to the bathroom.
Yu Bing had never carried a child in her two lifetimes, let alone been considered lucky by her family. In her previous life, after returning to the city, her sister had a child, but because her body was weak, she was afraid that she would pass the illness to the child, so she didn’t let her carry her.
Yu Bing had always wanted a child in her previous life, but in the end, she never had one and was always alone.
After sorting out her emotions, she returned to the room and carefully took Little Treasure over. Song Li helped teach her how to hold him. Yu Bing smiled at the baby in her arms.
Song Jian was very happy to see Yu Bing when he returned to his room after work. “Yu Bing is here! Song Li, hurry up and get some food from the canteen.”
Mrs. Song didn’t go home at noon since her workplace was quite far away. The Song family would get food from the office canteen at noon and cook at night. Song Jian didn’t know that Yu Bing would come here, so he only got his usual amount.
Yu Bing placed Little Treasure on the bed and hurriedly stopped Song Li, who was about to get food. There’s no need. I’m preparing to leave now. I still have more work waiting to be done!”
President Song and Song Jian came home from work together. When they saw Yu Bing, they also said warmly, “It’s rare for you to come. You can go back after eating.”
Yu Bing didn’t expect the Song family to be so warm to her, but she came to thank them, so she couldn’t freeload another meal. She hurriedly smiled and rejected, “President Song, there’s really no need. I came today to see Sister Yun and Little Treasure, and to thank you.”
President Song naturally knew what Yu Bing was grateful for. He waved his hand and said with a smile, “You fought for your spot with your strength. The matter with the Sun family was their own fault. I was just enforcing the law.”
Mentally, Yu Bing wasn’t 18 years old, and she had experienced the cruelty of society in her previous life. No matter how capable and innocent she was, if President Song didn’t interfere with the investigation, if the Sun family really wanted to distort the truth, she would have suffered retaliation even if she could turn the tables.
Putting aside privileges, even if one only wanted to be treated fairly, sometimes, one had to have the power to do so.
Yu Bing didn’t say anything else. She only looked at President Song and thanked him. “President Song, no matter what, I should thank you!”
As President Song looked at Yu Bing’s expression, he marveled over how Yu Bing was wise beyond her years.
Song Li had been protected too well since she was young, so she was quite naive. He wanted Yu Bing to interact with Song Li more often.
Hence, he smiled brightly and said, “Let’s not thank each other anymore. In the future, we’ll be a family. President Song sounds too formal. Yu Bing, call me Uncle Song in the future.”
Then, he said to Song Li, “Song Li, Yu Bing is as old as you but is much more capable than you. Learn from her in the future.”
Song Li covered her mouth and chuckled. “Aren’t we family? Sister-in-law has acknowledged Yu Bing as her god-sister.”
Wang Yun smiled as she told him about the process. President Song once again felt that letting Yu Bing come to the house more often was the right choice.
In the end, Song Jian and Wang Yun forced Yu Bing to stay for dinner.
After dinner, Mr. Song asked the Agriculture Bureau about borrowing a tractor. He received a notice from the county government that said that the Agriculture Bureau needed to use a commune tractor, but he didn’t know what use it was for.
Yu Bing thought for a moment and said, “I heard from the leader in charge that we’re going to build a large agricultural base in the suburbs of the county. Our mission is to reclaim 150 acres of wasteland, but I don’t know how it will be done.”
When Song Jian heard this, he frowned and said, “It seems that they are preparing to ease the supply and demand of agricultural products.”
Mr. Song was very impressed that Song Jian could think of this.
