Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 332: Finally Waiting for Confirmed Good News

Seeing Qin Kaize frowning and about to argue, Su Yijia quickly interrupted him.

"By the way, we’ve brought my grandparents back, but what about your grandparents?"

"They won’t be coming back anytime soon. My uncle went abroad, so their investigation will take even longer and be more thorough. It will be at least another year or two before they return," Qin Kaize’s face grew even more somber.

Although he had arranged for someone to look after his grandparents, their advanced age and the recent losses on the farm had worsened their health and mood.

"Once the situation loosens up a bit, we can go visit them," Su Yijia said, holding Qin Kaize’s hand and smiling.

It made sense why in the book Qin Kaize was so ill and his family didn’t return to care for him. Everyone was intertwined with their own issues, making it impossible to be by his side, ultimately leading to the book’s ending.

"The farm’s environment isn’t great," Qin Kaize said, thinking about the harsh weather and conditions, and pushed aside his longing for his grandparents.

"What are you thinking? Am I someone who can’t handle hardship?" Su Yijia poked him playfully. "Besides, we won’t be doing any labor at the farm. Even if it’s tough, it won’t be too hard on us. We can visit, and if it becomes unbearable, we can just eat a couple of meals and stay for a day or two before leaving."

She was also considering bringing her own grandparents along. Their health was good, and a train ride wouldn’t be too hard on them. It would be ideal to bring Qin Kaize’s grandparents out for a New Year’s Eve dinner, or at least to share a meal with them there.

Qin Kaize thought for a moment before turning and hugging Su Yijia, resting his forehead against hers, looking at her with a fixed gaze. "Do you really want to go to the farm? It’s very harsh there, and in winter, the snow can reach up to the thigh, it’s very cold."

"We can prepare things in advance and store them in my space. The more prepared we are, the better we can handle even the toughest conditions. Also, I heard that in the northern farm, you can hunt game during winter. You could try the space’s hunting gear then. You haven’t used it properly yet, aren’t you curious?" Su Yijia leaned back, her weight resting on Qin Kaize’s arms, her smile brightening like sunshine breaking through the clouds.

"Alright, I’ll make arrangements. We can go during the New Year when there’s nothing much to do," Qin Kaize said, rubbing his forehead against Su Yijia’s. By then, after the college entrance exams, he could show his grandparents his admission notice to make them happy. Though they knew he was married, they hadn’t met Jiajia yet. Seeing her and celebrating two joyful events together would surely improve their spirits.

"I’ll check on your grandparents’ health and start treatment if needed. We can also use the Functional Restoration Elixir. Staying in such an environment for even a day longer is not good for their health. We must not delay their care," Su Yijia reminded him.

Qin Kaize’s deep eyes were filled with gratitude and affection. "Jiajia, you are always so thoughtful."

She wasn’t just thoughtful; she knew the plot and was trying to avoid tragedy as much as possible.

After discussing and preparing the dishes and porridge, they ate with Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin. As usual, it was study time in the evening.

The next morning, Qin Kaize woke up at five, picking and planting everything. He had originally planned to reinforce the steel bars but didn’t want to disturb Su Yijia, so he took the conch shrimp porridge out of the space.

After a quick bite, feeding the rabbits, and watering the plants, he left on the ferry to the island to learn cooking techniques from Uncle Lian.

Su Yijia slept until nine, waking up and heading to the kitchen to wash up.

"Jiajia, where’s Ze?" Grandma Lin asked curiously. They had noticed that Ze had finished all the household chores, and they had assumed he was out shopping, but he had been gone for two hours without returning.

"He went to learn seafood cooking from Uncle Lian. He’ll be back by lunchtime," Su Yijia yawned lazily, finally remembering what Qin Kaize had whispered in her ear before leaving.

Grandma Lin sighed and said earnestly, "Ze is truly a good husband. Jiajia, you should cherish him and live a good life together. Such a good man is hard to find even with a lantern."

"Of course!" Su Yijia brightened up and looked at her grandmother, not quite understanding the comment but agreeing wholeheartedly. She had never considered not cherishing Qin Kaize. It was just that the elderly often thought of various things, and she wondered what was on Grandma Lin’s mind this time.

After washing up and drinking a couple of bowls of porridge, Su Yijia planned to take a stroll outside before the sun got too strong.

Just as she opened the door, she bumped into Xia Weiguo, who was walking in with his head down.

"Uncle Xia, you’re back!" she greeted happily. His return meant she could bring Qin Kaize back to Hu City without worry. It was not suitable to take her grandparents back with her or leave them alone on the island.

Xia Weiguo looked surprised, then smiled with joy. "Jiajia, I have some good news for you and Ze."

"Kaize went to Uncle Lian’s place to learn seafood cooking. Shall we wait until he returns?" Su Yijia guessed what the good news might be.

Xia Weiguo waved his hand dismissively. "It’s fine. You can know now."

Su Yijia went back inside to get him a cup of cool water. After drinking it down, Xia Weiguo looked at her with gratitude and said, "The confirmation from Jingdu City is in. Ze has been promoted directly by two levels to a full rank position. This was achieved thanks to your blocking agent; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been possible. Here’s the certificate and the bonus for the blocking agent. It states that your agent not only solved current issues but also prevented future problems."

Su Yijia took the certificate and the thick envelope of money. She suddenly felt that if this continued, she might end up like those heroes on TV with multiple rows of medals on her chest.

"Also, the higher-ups have decided to assign all comrades who have taken the Great Strength Pills to the same team. They’ll stay with me until Ze returns, and when he does, he will lead this highly valued team."

Xia Weiguo paused, looking at Su Yijia with some concern in his eyes.
