I was talking to Su Er about what she said about He Shuzhi looking for her before she left, she called, I picked up the phone, "Hey, girl, I mentioned you just now, you called, did you sneeze a few times in a row, did you think we miss you?"

Bai Siqiao seemed to be on the road, and the surrounding voices were noisy, and she said, "Brother Li, He Shuzhi asked me to meet in the evening." ”

As soon as I heard this, I sat up straight, "Ask you to meet?

"He made an appointment with me and said that he would invite me to dinner and chat. ”

"And where are you now?"

"I think he may have heard that I didn't want to go to that travel to shoot, and he didn't have a chance to pick it out with me, so he simply asked me out and wanted to tell me about it directly, so I decided to meet him for a while. ”

I thought for a moment, "Why don't you find a classmate to accompany you?" ”

"No, if I bring a classmate, he may not say it when he sees an outsider, and he will have to ask me out next time, which is not a solution. ”

"Are you almost there now?"

"It's coming, it's in a shopping mall not far from our school, and there's a tea room downstairs. ”

"So, when you go in, put your phone in your bag, don't hang it, and keep talking. ”

"Okay, I see. ”

I called Min Ziqin and Xi Fan to listen together, charged the phone, turned on the hands-free and put it on the table. I heard Bai Siqiao whisper: "Brother Li, I'm going in." ”

I said yes and pressed the microphone to mute. There was a sound of Suosuo, it should be Bai Siqiao put the phone in her bag, and then heard the waiter's voice and asked her if she had made a reservation.

"It's Mr. Ho's seat. ”

The waiter said, "It's Miss Bai, Mr. He has arrived, in the second box, please come with me." ”

Then there was silence for about ten seconds, "Please come in, you can call us at any time if you need anything." ”

"Okay. After a pause of five seconds, Bai Siqiao said to himself, "I'm in." ”

"Siqiao, please take a seat. ”

"Hello President He. ”

"Haha, it's too much to call me that, I guess I'm about the same age as your father, and it's okay if you call me Uncle He. ”

The man who spoke must have been He Shuzhi, and he said again: "Have you eaten? There are also some snacks in this tea room, if you haven't eaten, I'll let them bring some in." ”

"Thank you, Uncle He, don't bother, I have already eaten with my classmates in the school cafeteria before I came. ”

"Oh, okay, what kind of tea to drink? The Tieguanyin I ordered, last year's Qiu Tie, it's not bad, if you can't get used to it, let's order another pot." ”

"It's okay, that's it, I don't know much about tea. Then I heard the sound of tea being brewed.

Bai Siqiao asked, "Uncle He came to me today, is there something wrong?"

"Oh, yes, last year our magazine chose the photos taken by your club, which is very good, this year we have a travel photography event, and we invited you before, but you refused. The last time I asked you, you were still at home, and this time you happened to be idle, so I wanted to ask you, why didn't you go? This is a good opportunity. ”

"Uncle He, I am a student of medical school, medical school is different from other majors, the curriculum is still quite heavy, and this is also my main interest. Photography is only a hobby for me, and the photos you used for your magazine were also taken when I was idle, so if I really want to find time to participate in such an event, I'm afraid it won't work. But you can invite our club, they are still available. ”

"Ah, that's right, I forgot, you studied medicine. In fact, if you are really interested, I can communicate with the leaders of your school, I still know some of the leaders of your school, but it should not be difficult to take a week off. ”

Bai Siqiao insisted very much: "Uncle He, homework is my main business, I can't reverse the priority, please be considerate of this." ”

Then he fell into silence, and it is estimated that He Shuzhi blocked Bai Siqiao's attitude, and he was thinking about what to say at this time. After another burst of tea, He Shuzhi said: "Haha, okay, this, I can't delay your studies, I just think it's a pity, the photos you took are still very good, if you can often publish them in magazines, it will also help you in the future." ”

"But since you said so, then forget it. By the way, Siqiao, how do you think about studying medicine? There are not many girls studying medicine. ”

"My father is a doctor, I grew up in the clinic since I was a child, and I admire the person who can save lives, so I also want to be a doctor like him. ”

He Shuzhi paused, "Oh, is it convenient to talk about Siqiao's family?"

Bai Siqiao did not hesitate, she naturally knew that He Shuzhi caused this topic, just to pave the way, so as to start his story, and said directly: "I am a single-parent family, my mother passed away shortly after I was born, I was raised by my father, and my father is our famous doctor. ”

"I'm sorry to bring up your sadness. ”

"It doesn't matter, I have no concept of my mother since I was a child, and my father loves me very much, if you talk about family warmth, I am not worse than other children, even the quality of life, it is better than many people, so there is nothing to be sad about. ”

He Shuzhi said slowly: "You... Do you know anything about your mother?"

"I don't know much, but I know something, my father said that she was a good woman, beautiful, and kind, and I regret not being able to live with her, but I don't want my father to be overly sad because of these things, so I don't usually talk about these things. ”

He Shuzhi paused for a long time before he said, "Actually, Siqiao, do you know? I know your mother. ”

Bai Si disguised his surprise and said, "You know my mother?"

"Well, twenty years ago. ”

"Then you know my father, too?"

"I guess I know. Twenty years ago, when I was a small editor in the editorial department of a provincial magazine, I took on an editorial assignment to search for lost ethnic minorities, and during that trip, I met your mother. ”

"At that time, the performance of the provincial magazine was very bad, and the competition was also fierce, which was a thankless job, I had only graduated a few years at that time, and I had no background backing, so this errand naturally fell to me. But since I took it, I was going to do it, I found some information, searched along the Yangtze River, and really let me find an ethnic minority, they called themselves the Bai people. ”

Bai Siqiao said: "I also heard my father say this, when my mother gave birth to me, the Yangtze River broke out a big flood, the whole village disappeared, only my parents survived, and my mother died soon after giving birth to me because of excessive grief. ”

"Yes, I only found out later, this incident is also the regret of my life, let me tell you about the previous incident. ”

"At first, I thought this was a branch of the Bai tribe, but after a careful understanding, I found that it was different, this is an ethnic village with an ancient heritage, and even retains the habits of the matriarchal clan, their previous patriarchs are all women, and your mother Bai Qiao was the young patriarch at that time. ”

Although Bai Siqiao had already heard us talk about it, Huang Tianye didn't elaborate on this part of the details at the time, but he listened carefully at this time.

"The Baimin family, the legend began in the ancient legend of the Emperor of Heaven, Di Jun, there are too many prototypes to be examined, Di Jun gave birth to Di Hong, and Di Hong's descendants are the Bai Min family. It is also recorded in the Book of Mountains and Seas, saying that it is the country of the white people, in the north of the dragon fish, the white body is covered with hair. It is also said that there is a yellow in China, its shape is like a fox, there are horns on its back, and the life span of the country is 2,000 years old. Of course, these are all myths and legends, but the Bai people should have a very good origin. ”

"Although they have lived along the Yangtze River for a long time, they will also interact with the outside world in exchange for some daily necessities, and it is in this opportunity that I entered the territory of the white people. At that time, I realized that if I finished researching the origin and customs of the Bai people, it would not only cause a sensation in the provincial magazine, but also in the academic world, so I planned to stay in the Bai people territory and learn more about it. ”

"The Bai people are very simple and hospitable, and they don't refuse me as an outsider at all, and your mother, Bai Qiao, the young patriarch of the Bai people, introduced me to a lot of stories in the clan. At the same time, she also asked me about the outside world, and she was full of yearning for the outside. I once asked her, if she was so curious, why didn't she go out and see it herself?"

Bai Siqiao asked, "yes, why not?"

She replied to me, because she was the young patriarch of the Bai people, and she would be the chief of the clan in the future, and she could not leave the territory of the white people, because that would be betraying her own people. Although I felt sorry, I could understand her distress, because I tried my best to depict the outside world for her, and she was very interested, and we got along like this for a long time. ”

Bai Siqiao knew that he was going to start talking about the main point, so he didn't interrupt him and let him continue to talk about himself, but unexpectedly, He Shuzhi changed his words and asked her: "Siqiao, I heard that your father's surname is Huang, do you know why his surname is Huang and your surname is Bai?"

Bai Siqiao thought for a while, "Dad said that it was to commemorate my mother, so I took my mother's surname and gave me the name Siqiao, because my mother's name is Bai Qiao." ”

"This should only be one reason, and there is a very important reason that the Bai Min clan is adhering to the inheritance of the matrilineal clan, so the patriarch's husband is not qualified to give the child a father's surname. And there is another reason, which he has never told you, that is, he is not actually your biological father, just your mother's brother, and I am your biological father. ”

Rao is Bai Siqiao had been prepared, but he still slapped the table and shouted, "You are talking nonsense!"

"I know it's hard for you to accept it for a while, listen to me finish the matter, okay, you will make a judgment after listening. ”

There is no mistake
