Chapter 137: Visiting the Bai parents

The Bai siblings chat all night, then eat snacks and look at the night view. They are quite idle, they went to sleep at 10.30 pm. Bai Yi Yang sleep with the girls and Bai Yi Chen sleep with Bai Yi Mo in the huge bed. It was very comfortable.

Bai Yi Yang woke up at 7.00 am feeling very refreshed. She let her siblings sleep more and make a call to order breakfast. This hotel doesn't provide breakfast as a part of room booking, but customer who is staying at the hotel can purchase breakfast ticket at 50% discount. It applied to all customers but the menu at the hotel is quite expensive, so even at 50% discount, it is still expensive.

Bai Yi Yang then went to take a shower. Bai Yu Jing will arrives at 8.00 am, so by that time all of them should have at least woke up. After Bai Yi Yang, Bai Yi Chen went to take shower, the room service also arrived at that time. Because of the fragrant smell of food, the children woke up. Bai Yi Yang let them take a bath in the bathtub while Bai Yi Chen use the shower.

When they come out, Bai Yi Yang already changed into a plaid brown mini skirt just above her knee and a cream colour turtleneck sweater, she also wore a big belt with her skirt. When they go outside, she will pair it up with a nude colour jacket and a khaki boot with short heel. Then for Bai Yi Chen, she match up a khaki long pants and a casual white tee and a white jacket. The rest of the siblings also have the similar feel, they are meeting their parents today, they should dress prettily, but the colour can't be too overwhelming and it must be warm. Her intuition tell her that today it's going to be a bit cold, it will go down to 8 degree celcius in the evening.

They finally have their breakfast at 8.00 am. That's when their room phone rings, it was the front desk saying that they have visitors. Bai Yi Yang let them come up when she heard Bai Yu Jing name. While they were having breakfast, Bai Yu Jing and a teenage boy come to their door.

"Come in Da jiejie." Bai Yi Yang is the one who answer the door and welcome them in.

"You look even prettier now." Bai Yu Jing notice this as soon as she saw Bai Yi Yang. Maybe because of her outfits but Bai Yi Yang really look a few more points prettier. Bai Yi Yang laugh at this praise and pull Bai Yu Jing to sit at the table.

"Good morning Da jiejie." The Bai siblings greet Bai Yu Jing.

"Good, continue eating." Bai Yu Jing smile.

"Have you had breakfast? Come eat with us." Bai Yi Yang said as she invite the two people to sit at the empty chairs. She order quite a lot of breakfast, it's early morning so the siblings is not as hungry as last night.

Bai Yu Jing look around the room and once more amazed. Her big family has stayed at a hotel room like this before, and she knows how much it cost per night, on top of that, the siblings also ordered room service. When her husband point out the small details about the siblings outfits last time, she also start to pay attention to the siblings outfits. Sitting around the table in a room like this, they indeed doesn't look like people who has financial problem, what more from the village. They all look neat and clean, wearing the clothes from new arrivals section, their already good looking face increased by a few more points. Then she look at her son who at most look clean and neat, luckily she didn't being her youngest daughter, if not, she may throw a tantrum and want Bai Yi Ling's wardrobe who is similar age with her.

Bai Yi Yang ignored Bai Yu Jing look, well whatever does her looks mean. She scoop out some food for the two of them, then placed the utensils in front of them.

"Da jiejie and this young..brother, please eat." Bai Yi Yang return to her seat and continue eating.

"Look at me, I forgot to introduce you. This is my eldest son, Nian Sheng. He is 18 years old this year, we call him Ah Sheng. He is older but in term of seniority, you all are my children's little aunts and uncles." Bai Yu Jing said. The Bai siblings and her children never meet, when she came to visit any of the first branch, she usually come alone.

"Hello Ah Sheng." They all said. Since it's like that, they decided to just call him with his nickname, it will be to exaggerated to call him nephew.

"Da jiejie, we all don't mind all of that. Please just call us by our first name." Bai Yi Yang said to Nian Sheng. It will be weird to be called as aunt and uncle by someone older than them. Nian Sheng nod and agree with the arrangement.

"Good, good." Bai Yu Jing answer for her son. After that they have their breakfast and chat lightly about their journey and so on. When Bai Yi Yang and her siblings get ready for the last time, Bai Yu Jing and her son sat at the lounge area and wait, they were planning to bring the siblings to have breakfast somewhere but since they already have a breakfast here, they can head straight to the columbarium after this.

Bai Yi Yang and her siblings finished getting ready by 8.30 am and they all head down. Bai Yi Yang tied her hair into a ponytail and add a nude colour scarf as accessories, as for Bai Yi Ling, she let her wear a beret hat, and Bai Yi Fang, there is no need, her face is the highlight. Bai Yu Jing don't know why she have the feeling of bringing 5 rich kids for an outing. It may be Bai Yi Yang who knows how to dress her siblings, but they look expensive.

When they passed by the lobby, they attracted a lot of attention, a novel experience for Bai Yu Jing. She and her husband has common looking face, their children also has common looks. The way she dress her children is also very typical, just neat and clean. Only the girls started to dress up now, that's also too far in comparison to these 5 siblings.

"Miss Bai, we will do so. Do you have other arrangement?" The front desk said. She also saw the siblings yesterday, they are the one who came wearing school uniforms. They also called last night and this morning for room service. When looking at them like this, she finally is sure that these kids have money.

"No, that's all. Thanks." Bai Yi Yang said and return to her group. She went to ask for cleaning service and also some extra towels and stuff.

After that they exit the hotel and go to the parking. As expected, today is a bit colder than yesterday, it's a good choice to wear thicker clothes.

Bai Yu Jing family car is a 7-seater SUV. Bai Yu Jing will drive and her son sit in front. Nian Sheng also obtained his drivers license but he is not here to drive, he is just a spare driver.

Bai Yi Yang and her siblings sit behind and the 1 hour journey to the columbarium was refreshing, the view is different and when they approach the columbarium, they need to passed by a mountainous area before arriving. There are many people here today, Bai Yi Yang look around since this is her first time here.

"You all go. We will wait here." Bai Yu Jing smile lightly at the children. They all nod and climb up the stairs slowly, the two children is still cheerful but Bai Yi Chen and Bai Yi Ling is a bit quiet.

"Wait, let's buy some flowers." Bai Yi Yang said. There are stall at the side of the road selling flowers. They won't have space to place the offering since it is only a small space where their ashes are store but some flowers can still fit in there.

"Okay." Bai Yi Chen smile lightly. They choose two small bouquets of flowers and continue. Bai Yi Yang just followed behind Bai Yi Chen and Bai Yi Ling, she is holding onto Bai Yi Mo and Bai Yi Fang. There are separate place where they can offer incense and also burn some joss paper. They are heading to where they are placed first.

When they arrived at a certain section, Bai Yi Chen stopped. Bai Yi Yang saw two urn side by side with their parents name on it. Other than that, there are also some small items and family pictures. When seeing this, the children finally remember and start sobbing, calling out mom and dad, Bai Yi Chen is still okay he is comforting Bai Yi Mo and Bai Yi Fang in his arm, Bai Yi Ling is also sobbing softly. Bai Yi Yang don't know, but her nose also turns sour, and warm tears fall down her cheeks. Bai Yi Ling then come and hug her

"Ah.." She took a tissue and wipe her uncontrollable tears. This is crazy, her emotions also flared up, she doesn't even know this two people, must be because of how pitiful the siblings are.

"Mom…dad.." Bai Yi Mo and Bai Yi Fang sobbed pitifully on Bai Yi Chen shoulder. Bai Yi Chen also didn't dare to look up now, he is also crying, his eyes is red and his vision turns blurry.

People who saw this can't help but wipe their tears too. This group of children is so pitiful as they sobbed in front of their parent's remain. Some people were fine since their love one has gone for a long time, but seeing this, they also suddenly reminded of them. The siblings hugged each other and cried for a while.

"Ge, we need to put in the flower." Bai Yi Yang remind. The siblings finally calm down and Bai Yi Chen take out two keys to open the glass door.

"Fang Fang is so adorable here even though she has no hair, mom and dad must be shocked to see their baby grow up even more adorable." Bai Yi Yang said as she look at their old pictures, she is trying to cheer up her siblings. The siblings crowd over and look too. Only then did they smile again when they see the funny pictures of them.

"Say something to mom and dad." Bai Yi Yang told her younger siblings as they watch Bai Yi Chen place the flowers and clean up a bit.

Bai Yi Fang and Bai Yi Mo has a lot of things to say, Bai Yi Ling also say a lot too, it's just that she said it in low voice. Don't want other to hear. Bai Yi Chen words is mostly about reassuring them that the siblings is doing well, not to worry about them and so on.

"Yang Yang, you also say something." Bai Yi Chen said. Bai Yi Yang nod and come closer.

"I don't know the two of you, but I want to thank you for giving birth and taking care of this body, the two of you are different than my parents in the other world, I owe the two of you this life. As for the 4 of them, you don't have to worry, I will take care of them with all my heart." Bai Yi Yang whisper, this is her sincere words.

"When the time comes, we will bring you home to the mountain and live with us." Bai Yi Yang said the last sentence aloud, she let her siblings listen to this.

"Right, we will bring mom and dad to live with us." Bai Yi Mo and Bai Yi Fang said their agreement. After staying there for a few more minutes, they head to the area where they can burn incense and joss paper. This process took another 15 minutes or so. After saying goodbye one last time, the siblings also head down to the parking area slowly.

Bai Yi Chen is telling the siblings about their parents and Bai Yi Yang only listen without commenting anything. From the story, the Bai parents are like most good parents out there, they love their children with all their heart. It's good that the children has good memories of their parents, so that they can grow with healthy mind. It's just that, if they ask her, then she really don't know what to say.

When they arrived at the car, the mother and son is also chatting casually.

"Done?" Bai Yu Jing smile. Bai Yi Chen nod, he and her siblings enter the car and they leave from that place. Bai Yi Chen and Bai Yi Ling is the most reluctant, they turn to look a few more times before the columbarium disappear from their sight.

"We are heading straight to the ancestral home?" Bai Yi Yang ask.

"Yes. We won't use the city road, the road is longer but it will take shorter time." Bai Yu Jing said.

Bai Yi Yang nod and proceed to take out the wet tissue from her bag. She first wipe her face and applied light powder and also cherry colour lip balm. Then she take turn wiping her siblings face one by one, they look clean and squeaky again after that. They had some dried up tear stains before, now they look pretty again.

Bai Yi Yang and Bai Yi Chen chat with Bai Yu Jing along the way so it wasn't that bored. Since they are from the columbarium, it will take more than 1 hour to go to the ancestral home of Bai family. There are nobody living in the ancestral house, it was the Bai family people who is living near the ancestral home who clean the place.

The ancestral home is an old house where the name plaque of the deceased member of Bai family is placed. But not everyone is there, take their deceased father as example, his name plaque is at the columbarium, people who can afford usually do it like this or some branches has set up their own place to put the name tablet. As for their deceased foster father, his name plate is placed in the ancestral home, one reason is because he is from an older generation and the other reason is that he don't have a son who can build a place to put his name plate.

Bai Yi Yang didn't dare to ask much, she is curious but if she doesn't know too much, it would be suspicious. How come she don't know about her own ancestral home, there is no way. Its fine to show this side to her siblings but not to outsiders.
