"Isn't that enough, my sister and I have three seats to sit down, just enough for my parents to sit. Bai Susu said, pointing to the empty position beside him. Then he looked around the seats, pretending to be puzzled and asked, "Are there still three people who haven't come, how did you count them?"

To prevent being caught by Grandma Bai, Bai Susu deliberately said "you" instead of "you", but everyone could hear that this was aimed at Grandma Bai.

For some reason, no one made a sound for a while, and everyone watched silently.

As a last resort, Grandma Bai could only curl the corners of her mouth with difficulty, and smiled dryly to find the bottom of the steps for herself, "Hey, when people get old, their eyes will be spent, and you will understand how I feel now in the future." ”

Bai Susu just wanted to be angry, but he didn't really want to talk to Grandma Bai. Seeing that the other party seemed to have settled down, he smiled cooperatively, and the atmosphere at the dinner table calmed down temporarily.

After a while, Mother White and Father White came out of the kitchen with the last dishes. This time, Daddy Bai finally had the opportunity to ask Grandma Bai his own question, "Mom, why didn't Dad come, didn't you say that you came together?"

"Ah, this, your dad suddenly felt unwell in the morning, and he stayed at home and didn't want to move, so he didn't come. ”

Hearing Grandma Bai's words, Father Bai couldn't help frowning, and his face showed a little worry. The old man is old, whether it is a bump or a small cold, it is a serious illness.

I didn't feel at ease and wanted to ask about it carefully, but the white grandmother stopped the topic with the excuse of eating, and I didn't want to continue talking. In desperation, Daddy Bai could only give up, but he was worried about the old father's body, and his mind was not very concentrated.

Mother Bai next to her noticed Daddy Bai's distraction, pulled him without a trace, and then looked at the few people who had spontaneously started eating at the dinner table, the corners of her forehead jumped, suppressed the emotions rising in her heart, and walked to her seat and sat down.

I am tired and tired of cooking food, and I am sorry for myself if I don't eat it well.

And after Bai's mother sat down, she found that Bai Susu and Bai Poria were also there, and she was slightly stunned, and then a smile appeared in her eyes, thinking that she had not given birth to these two girls in vain, and she was better than her husband.

At the end of the meal, everyone ate kindly, at least on the surface.

After eating, without waiting for everyone to leave the table, Grandma Bai suddenly coughed to attract everyone's attention, and then said to Bai Chenghao under everyone's gaze: "Chenghao, you take your younger brothers and sisters to play outside, it seems that you haven't played together for a long time." ”

It looks like a child is going to talk about things.

Bai Susu secretly said "here" in his heart, subconsciously forgetting that he was also a member of the children in the eyes of others, and he didn't react until he was taken out by Bai Poria by the collar.

But soon she started to think about it, her eyes skimmed over the three people who were standing or squatting, and finally fell on Bai Poria's body, hesitated to approach the other party, and whispered, "Sister, let's go in and listen secretly." ”

Bai Poria probably also wanted to eavesdrop, but because there were more than two of them outside now, she was afraid that the other two would do bad things, so she was very hesitant.

Seeing this, Bai Susu rolled his eyes, glanced at the other two quickly, and deliberately raised his voice and said to Bai Poria: "Sister, let's go upstairs, it's too cold outside!

She didn't believe that those two people had such thick skin and had to go upstairs together, who was embarrassed and who knew.

Hearing Bai Susu's words, Bai Poria instantly understood Bai Susu's thoughts. The layout on the first floor of the house is a large living room plus a large warehouse, and the kitchen and eating place are half of the living room design, of course, the focus is not on this, but on that large warehouse.

The large warehouse and the staircase are intersected, and a short corridor is separated in the middle, and then Papa Bai designed a concave door at the junction of the warehouse and the living room, which is just opposite to the staircase.

In other words, as long as the operation is done properly, you can avoid the sight of the two and hide in this recess to eavesdrop on the conversation of the adults in the living room.

Thinking of this, Bai Poria looked at the two of them with her spare eyes, and then looked at Bai Susu, and nodded in her heart and said yes.

was not invited by the two sisters, and the two boys were naturally not embarrassed to follow along, standing outside and feeling the cold of winter and chatting wildly.

Bai Susu's eavesdropping plan succeeded with surprisingly ease.

in the living room.

When the children were gone, Grandma Bai cleared her throat under the gaze of her two sons, and said the main purpose of why they came to eat today.

"That's the case, your eldest brother and second brother set up a field last year, who would have thought that the worker who killed a thousand knives would roll up the goods and run away, and then he owed a lot of debts, and his life was a little more difficult......."

As soon as Grandma Bai's words came out, Bai Yongli over there hurriedly opened his mouth to keep up, "Big brother knows that it's not good to borrow money for the New Year, but we can't help it, the debt collectors in the morning have gone to our house to smash things, and this is not a meal can only be solved by you." ”

Once the intention is spread out on the bright side, there is no need to carry the face, one by one they speak to each other, you say what you say, you just want Daddy Bai to contribute some money to help get through this difficulty.

And in their words, the money borrowed is actually not much, and it is completely out of the hands of Papa Bai.

Take the words of the calculating man for granted.

"Are they brainbroken!" Bai Susu, who was eavesdropping outside, heard this, and couldn't help but complain to Bai Poria, and then wondered, "Isn't our family really rich, how can they think that our family can take out so much money." ”

That's 40,000, not four.

Well, even if you can get it, that's all the liquidity of their family this year.

As if to answer her doubts, Grandma Bai's voice in the living room came out, "We all know that everyone's field in your brigade will be expropriated by the state this year, and there will be so much compensation given." ”

The feeling is that I am thinking about this money.

Bai Susu frowned, she did remember that there would be such an event, but she didn't remember when, but she remembered that the Bai family finally got a little more than 20,000, not as much as Grandma Bai said.

How to solve this matter of borrowing money later, Bai Susu didn't know. Because when Bai Susu wanted to continue listening, Bai Poria noticed that the two people outside had come in, and pulled her to hide in the warehouse, so she didn't hear the follow-up.

However, Bai Susu guessed that there should have been some borrowing, because for a period of time after that, the life of the family was tight. As for Grandpa Bai's cold statement that day, it was later confirmed that it was actually Grandpa Bai who knew Grandma Bai's purpose and felt that he had no face to come, so he didn't come

In short, the new year is not very good from the first day.
