In the warehouse of the pharmaceutical factory, a gray braincase behind the goods is busy, weighing chemicals with a scale.

Suddenly, there was a soft sigh behind him.

He turned around sharply, only to see Bai Ke standing behind him, his hands in his trouser pockets, his brows furrowed like an adult.

"You little thing!"

"Lao He, why don't you dye your hair again? ”

"You should know that hair dye contains p-phenylenediamine, o-phenylenediamine, m-phenylenediamine, and many heavy metals, which are extremely harmful to infants and young children......"

Bai Ke sighed: "Okay, I know." ”

"What's wrong with you? ”

"I'm sick. ”

"I heard from your sister that you caught a cold during the Chinese New Year. ”

Bai Ke sighed: "It's not just a cold. ”

Stretched out his hand and took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Lao He: "Can you help me get these medicines?"

Lao He glanced at it and was taken aback: "These are all medicines for schizophrenia, what are you doing with these?"

Bai Ke smiled: "It's okay, eat some occasionally." ”

Lao He looked at Bai Ke: "You have schizophrenia? It's impossible? Your original family is very healthy, and your parents are also normal." Do your grandparents have a family history?"

The white guest bowed his head and was silent.

Lao He continued to ask: "You, what are your symptoms?"

"I can see him sometimes, he can play and talk with me. Sometimes I can be him. ”

"Then you're a multiple personality. ”

"Do multiple personalities see each other? Besides, my memory is relatively complete. ”

"yes. Lao He was at a loss, looked down at the paper sheet again, his eyes were red, "You, you are more serious than me." How so. ”

Lao He muttered for a while, looked up at Bai Ke again, came over and patted Bai Ke's shoulder, and comforted him: "It's okay, mental illness is not so terrible." If you can find out on your own, it means that you have a lot of self-control. Okay, I'll give you a few pills with few side effects and take them when you feel uncontrollable. ”

"Thank you, Lao He. Bai Ke said.

Lao He hugged the white guest: "It's okay to come over often to communicate." By the way, you can keep a diary and observe your psychological condition. ”

"Good. Bai Ke nodded.

When she went home for dinner in the evening, Qin Yongmei also blamed directly: "The illness is just right, don't wander around if you have nothing to do." ”

Looking up at my mother again, my mother's face was also a little haggard, and my father Bai Ce also lowered his head, as if he was not in a high mood.

"Alright, don't look around, hurry up and eat. Qin Yongmei raised her chopsticks.

"My brother hasn't come back yet. ”

"Wait for him to do something, let him die outside. ”

Bai Ning couldn't help but say with a bitter face on the side: "My brother hasn't come back for two days. ”

"Ah!" Bai Ke hurriedly put down his chopsticks, "I'll go and call my brother back." ”

"What's it called, he doesn't have long legs. ”

Bai Ce sighed: "Let's talk about it after eating." ”

After Bai Ke finished eating, Qin Yongmei brought a big padded jacket for him to wear, so he let him go out.

The white guest rode his bicycle to South Street.

After recovering from a serious illness, he really felt as if his arms and legs had become longer, and he felt very relaxed pedaling the car.

There is no nightlife at the moment, and the streets are empty at seven o'clock in the evening, with the occasional few little second-rate people strolling around.

My brother's photo studio has long since closed.

However, the business side is behind the courtyard house, and the courtyard gate is on the other side.

The white customer walked around to the courtyard gate, jumped in and opened the latch on the door, pushed the door open, and then pushed the car into the courtyard.

The courtyard that Bai Zong bought was smaller and more dilapidated than the Bai family, but it also had six houses.

In addition to the two main rooms used to receive customers, the east and west wings can also be used as a darkroom or for residents.

Like at home, Bai Zong still lives in the East Wing.

Looking at the swaying light and shadow on the window, Bai Ke knew that this guy was studying darkroom technology again.

Bai Ke cautiously went in, only to see the old brother sitting in the shadows in a daze like a ghost.

"It's coming. Bai Zong greeted lazily.

As his eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, he was able to see the situation in the house clearly.

There is a bowl of noodles on the table, which is estimated to be made by the elder brother himself, and it is on the same level as Lao He, which is a bowl of paste.

At the moment, there is no takeaway, and even instant noodles cannot be bought in small cities.

No matter how rich you are, you have to find a way to make it yourself.

Look at the old brother's face again, the beard stubble has come out, and it is black.

It is estimated that if you don't shave for a few days, you will become a bearded customer.

"Brother, why don't you go home?"

"Hmph, don't go back. ”

Bai Ke felt a little funny, and thought that the eldest brother was quite childish.

But if you think about it, it's 1981, and the eldest brother is only 19 years old.

"Our mother has offended you, and our father and sister have also offended you? ”

Bai Zong puffed out his cheeks and didn't speak.

Bai Ke looked around and immediately understood: "Where is my sister-in-law?"

"Divided!

"Why, don't you tell you to explain it to your sister-in-law?"

"How could she give me an explanation? As soon as I told her, she blew up. 'If you don't agree, you don't agree, let's pull it down!' I wanted to explain to her, but she didn't listen, so she pulled her feet and ran. ”

"Oh, then you can go to her house and talk to her. Didn't you use to be good at coaxing girls?"

Bai Zong sighed: "Hey, I was so busy during the Chinese New Year, how could I have time to coax her." ”

"Then I'll help you call your sister-in-law back, you have to go home for dinner tomorrow night." ”

Bai Zong was silent.

Like Mom, this guy doesn't object or agrees.

The next day, when Bai Ke came to the vicinity of his sister-in-law's house, he couldn't remember where the door of his sister-in-law's house was opened.

Bai Ke came to his sister-in-law's house in his last life, and he only remembered the approximate location.

However, this is not a problem, and families generally know each other.

There happened to be a group of half-grown children squatting on the ground playing with glass balls, and Bai Ke leaned over to inquire with someone.

A child spotted him and cried out, "Ah, the chief is here!"

Bai Ke's chin looks like an old mother's, and there is a small groove, commonly known as a small buttocks.

During this time, "Garrison's Expendables" was broadcast on TV, and many half-grown children were fascinated by the Chief's "little ass", and in private some people began to nickname Bai Ke the Chief.

When Bai Ke was just about to ask someone, Lu Gui came out of the crowd: "Brother!"

Several children pointed enviously: "It turns out that Lu Gui knows him." ”

Lu Gui proudly put his arm around Bai Ke's shoulder, and waved his hand as if he didn't want to share it with others: "Okay, I won't play anymore." ”

The two walked aside, and Lu Gui said with a smile: "Brother, come and play with me." ”

"Another day, I'm looking for my sister-in-law today, no, it's your sister, there's something wrong. ”

"Okay, let's go, I'll take you to my house. ”

"No, you can call your sister out. ”

"Then you wait, and you'll come out in a moment. ”

After a while, Lu Yanan came out, saw Bai Ke hurriedly trotting over, bent down and patted Bai Ke on the shoulder: "Sister has always wanted to see you, how is it? ”

"Alright. Bai Ke nodded, and moved his limbs to show Lu Yanan.

Lu Yanan smiled.

Bai Ke sighed.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm fine. My brother is sick again......"

"What's wrong with your brother? Lu Yanan was anxious.

"My brother turned his face with his mother, and went to live in the store, and he couldn't eat or sleep well......"

Lu Yanan sighed.

Bai Ke took Lu Yanan's hand: "Sister-in-law, go and see my brother." ”

Lu Yanan did not express his position.

"You should know my brother's intentions. My mother's temper is just like that, for a while, and it's fine after a while. The relationship between men and women is always inevitably bumpy ......"

Bai Ke was about to make a good chicken soup with his sister-in-law at length, but Lu Yanan shook his hand: "Go!"

The two rushed to the photo studio together.

It was the last day of New Year's Day, and the number of pedestrians on the streets gradually increased.

However, Bai Zong's photo studio didn't have much business, so he was still closed.

Bai Ke and Lu Yanan went around to the courtyard gate.

After entering the courtyard, Bai Ke waited outside and let Lu Yanan enter the house by himself.

"Aren't you sick?"

"yes, I'm not comfortable here, I don't believe you touch ......"

"Go away! don't touch me!

The white guest quietly withdrew from the courtyard.

In the evening, Bai Zong really drooped his head and went home for dinner.

Grandpa, Bai Ce, and Bai Ning were all very happy and smiling.

Only Qin Yongmei always had a black face.

Bai Zong had just taken a few bites, and Qin Yongmei suddenly put down her chopsticks and glared at Bai Zong fiercely.

The expressions of the whole family became nervous, and they didn't dare to take a breath, as if they could hear a needle dropping.

Bai Zong raised his head and glanced at his mother timidly: "What, what's wrong?"

"Shave!"

The whole family looked at each other and laughed.
