Chapter 3091 Little White Night Delivers a Safe

After the party ended, before he could even get home, Xiaobai couldn't wait to ask his father if he had enough money. He worried that all those bonuses would leave him penniless.

"Don't worry, it's all company money being spent, not our personal money," Zhang Tan explained.

"Old man, if you don't have enough money, just tell me, and you can use my New Year's money first."

"Not for now. I'll let you know as soon as I need to."

"Don't be so polite with me."

"Okay, okay, with you saying that, I feel much more confident."

"Haha, I have a habit of saving money."

After checking on the old man's capital situation, Xiaobai immediately called Robin to ask how his uncle was doing.

The Bai family was on their way home at that moment. Robin always took his aunt's calls very seriously. She was giving a live update on his grandfather's condition, saying that he had felt like vomiting but hadn't.

“He drank it back.” Robin’s words almost made Bai Zhiqiang and Yang Yi, who were using the car, vomit, and Xiao Bai on the other side almost couldn’t hold it in either.

"Ugh~ Uncle is disgusting."

After hanging up the phone, Xiaobai immediately made a video call to her aunt to keep her uncle updated on his condition.

“Aunt, I’ve been watching Uncle all night. He’s drunk. He’s on his way home. Robin said he almost threw up, but he didn’t, and then he drank some more…”

"You idiot, don't talk so disgustingly!"

Malan interrupted Xiaobai's description, saying, "Why go into so much detail? You even have to tell me what you ate and what you threw up last night. I seriously suspect you're just trying to disgust me."

"Okay, then I won't say anymore. Aunt, my report is finished. Is there anything else you want to ask?"

Have you been drinking?

"no!"

Where is Robin?

"I didn't drink it either."

"That's good. That's all. You may leave now."

"I'm leaving now, Auntie. Please boil some ginger water for Uncle to drink; it will make him feel better when he's drunk."

"got it."

After hanging up the phone, Xiaobai didn't stop there. She continued to call Xiaomi, Chengcheng, Dudu, and the others to ask if they had arrived home safely.

Seeing her busy, Zhang Tan didn't say anything. He went home, reported to Teacher Jiang, and then prepared to go to sleep. He had drunk quite a bit tonight, not to the point of being drunk, but he felt dizzy.

He had just lain down in his room when the door was pushed open a crack. Little White peeked out from the crack, its bright eyes looking inside. Seeing the old man watching it, it chuckled and squeezed its little body inside.

Zhang Tan then noticed that Xiao Bai was holding a cup of hot water.

"Old man, have some water. I'll put it by your bedside."

After putting down the water glass, Xiaobai stood by the bed and looked at him with some worry in her eyes. She reached out and touched his forehead: "Old man, you don't have a fever. You're just a little dizzy from drinking too much. It's okay, you'll be fine after a nap."

"I'll just lie down for a bit, I won't sleep yet. You go take a shower and go to sleep later."

Zhang sighed, "Xiaobai hasn't taken a bath yet. If she doesn't go to sleep, I can't sleep peacefully. Who knows what kind of trouble Xiaobai will cause?"

"Old man, I can take a bath by myself. You go to sleep. I'll come find you after I'm done."

Xiao Bai seemed to know the old man's worries. She quickly went out, took a shower, and threw her dirty clothes and the old man's clothes into the washing machine. She skillfully poured in the laundry detergent, selected the washing mode, and then went to Zhang Tan's room to report for duty.

Zhang Tan was almost asleep when Xiao Bai shook him and went out, turning off the light for him before returning to her own bedroom. The faint sound of the washing machine running on the balcony could still be heard, like a lullaby, adding a touch of life to the quiet night.

When Zhang Tan woke up the next day, he found a glass of water on his bedside table. He had drunk all the water in it the night before.

His gaze fell on the pink safe next to the glass of water; the door was ajar, not closed.

Zhang Tan reached out and opened it; inside was a pile of banknotes and coins.

This was Xiaobai's hard-earned money. Zhang Tan couldn't remember when she put it here last night, but seeing the neatly arranged banknotes and coins filled him with a warm feeling.

The banknotes were arranged according to their face value, with 100-yuan bills in one group, 50-yuan bills in another, and there were also 1-yuan and 5-yuan bills, as well as quite a few 50-cent bills.

Zhang Tan noticed a small note under the safe, with Xiao Bai's crooked handwriting on it: "10305 yuan, old man, take it if you need money."

He smiled; this novice's calligraphy skills were nowhere near Xi'er's.

He put the note back in the safe and then closed it.

He didn't know the safe's combination.

Then I went out to brush my teeth and wash my face. The living room was quiet, and Xiaobai's bedroom door was closed; she was still sleeping.

He walked through the living room to the bathroom. As soon as he left, the door to Xiaobai's bedroom opened a crack, and one eye peeked out. After watching him leave, the door closed again.

After Zhang Tan finished washing up and changing his clothes, preparing to go for a run in the yard, Xiao Bai pretended to open the door wide and came out yawning.

"Hey old man, you're up so early! Are you going for a run? Did you sleep well last night?"

"It's fine. I woke up in the middle of the night last night, and I was so thirsty. Did you put the water glass on the table there? I drank it all. I was almost dying of thirst."

"Haha, why didn't you call me? I'd pour you a hot cup."

Xiaobai was very happy to have her work recognized.

"Oh, right, there's a safe next to the water glass. It looks like yours. You can take it back. I don't need that much money right now. We're not short of money."

"Don't be so polite with me, we're all family."

Without saying a word, Zhang Tan patted his pocket, ready to take out his phone, but then remembered that he had changed into sportswear and didn't have his phone with him.

Xiao Bai suddenly pulled out his phone, handed it over, and said with a grin, "Old man, is this what you're looking for?"

Isn't this my own phone?! How did it end up in your hands?!

Zhang Tan stared at the little guy suspiciously. This little guy still liked to steal his phone, and she knew the password.

Zhang Tan opened the bank's app and showed Xiaobai the deposit amount.

Xiao Bai stared at the number for a long time and counted it five times before he could figure out how many digits were in the string.

"Old man, you're so rich?" Xiaobai asked in disbelief.

Zhang Tan made a shushing gesture and whispered, "Don't make a fuss. We shouldn't flaunt our wealth. If people find out, thieves might come knocking."

Little White nodded slyly: "Like Durian."

"..."

Zhang Tan didn't tell her that what he showed her was just the money in a bank card. He had many such cards, and most of the money wasn't saved up but invested and circulating, so it wasn't visible to her.

"As long as you know what I'm doing, I'm going for a run now. Do you want to come with me?"

"want!"

Xiao Bai responded crisply.

"Then go brush your teeth and wash your face, I'll wait for you at the door."

"I'm so fast."

Xiao Bai ran quickly into the bathroom, brushed his teeth and washed his face, and came out in less than three minutes.

"Old man! Come and help me comb my hair."

Xiao Bai's voice came from the washroom.

She still has short hair that falls to her ears, and usually she just needs to comb it a couple of times, but now that she's going for a run, she has to tie her hair up.

"I'll tie your hair into a ponytail."

Xiaobai hummed twice. Actually, she wanted other, prettier hairstyles, but her father's best hairstyle was a ponytail.
