Chapter 85: Ling Xin

In one morning, Bai Tang won more than 500 yuan and earned all the round-trip expenses. The banquet was set up, and the waiter invited everyone to take their seats. Bai Tang found Bai Dad and Bai Ma and sat next to the two, and Xiao Xi sat between Bai Dad and Bai Ma to facilitate the second elder to take care of him.

In addition to Bai Tang's family, there are also her third uncle's family and her second aunt and fourth uncle's family, the three brothers are chatting while drinking wine, and Bai Ma and Bai Ergu and the two concubines are chatting about the topic between women.

"This kid is so cute and sensible!" Seeing Xiao Xi eating the dishes by herself, she was well-behaved and skillful, and the food would not fall on the table and clothes, and several women loved it so much.

"Second sister-in-law, is this child your neighbor's child?" The third and fourth aunts knew that Bai Dad and Bai Ma had a good relationship with the neighbor's family, and accepted the neighbor as their goddaughter, and the neighbor's child also became their godgrandson.

"No, this is Xiaoxi, and it's also our godgrandson. Xiaokang was at home with his mother and didn't come with us. The white mother picked up a chicken leg and put it in the child's bowl and told him to eat it slowly.

"Another godgrandson?" Aunt Bai said with a smile, "You want to hug your grandson so much, why don't you let Tangtang give birth to one?" ”

"Third aunt, don't get involved with me if you want to hug your grandson!"

"Tangtang, didn't the third aunt say you, you're twenty-seven, aren't you, and you don't have a boyfriend? You see, your brother and your sister are still studying, and they have already made several boyfriends and girlfriends. ”

"I've handed it over, but it's just divided." Bai Tang flattened his mouth, "I don't want to find a random man just to get married." ”

"This girl is picking!" Bai Ma smiled and relieved her daughter, "We won't urge her to get married now, after all, it is more important to find a person who agrees." Just let her find it slowly, anyway, now we have a grandson too. ”

"After all, it's someone else's child." The third aunt said.

"Except for Xiaoxi, who is not surnamed Bai, she is a child of our family." Bai Ma said.

The three women were surprised, and Aunt Bai asked, "What about the child's parents?" ”

Although Xiaoxi is old, he is sensible, he knows his life experience, and he doesn't mind others talking about his life experience. In his words, he lives a frank and unrestrained life, and doesn't mind what others say about him. Therefore, Bai Ma does not mind telling the child's background in front of relatives, they adopted the child, and the child becomes a member of the Bai family, and it must be recognized by other Bai family members. This is also the purpose of Bai Dad and Bai Ma to bring Xiao Xi to the birthday banquet and introduce Xiao Xi to the rest of the Bai family.

"The child's mother is dead, and his father entrusted him to Sugar Candy, and he is no longer in this world. He now only has three of our relatives. Bai Ma said, "He is my grandson and Lao Bai's own grandson." ”

Aunt Bai, Aunt Bai and Aunt Bai are all kind-hearted people, and when they heard about Xiaoxi's life experience, they felt sorry for this cute and sensible child.

Bai Ergu complained to Bai Ma and said, "You didn't tell us earlier, so we can prepare a meeting gift for Xiaoxi." ”

Bai Ma smiled: "I just didn't let you spend money without notifying you in advance!" ”

"You're just too polite!"

The topic turned a corner, Bai Tang put down his chopsticks and glanced at the child who was honestly sitting on the chair after gnawing the chicken legs.

"Have you eaten too?"

The child nodded.

Bai Tang raised his voice and said to the elders on the table: "You eat slowly, I'll take Xiaoxi out for a walk and eliminate food." ”

"Go ahead, you can continue to eat after eating." Aunt Bai was joking.

Bai Tang smiled, picked up the little bun and walked out of the dining room.

"Auntie, I'll go by myself."

Bai Tang put down the little bun and took his hand and walked slowly. At noon, there are very few people in the park, and the birds and insects are very clear.

"Sugar Man!" Little Bun screamed in surprise.

"Want?" Bai Tang asked.

Xiao Baozi nodded, blinked his big eyes and said cutely: "I don't eat it, I just want him to blow a pleasant goat and take it out and give it to Brother Xiaokang." ”

"Good!" Bai Tang pulled the small bun and walked to the candy man's stall.

The candy-blowing vendor sits behind a table with a wooden frame propped up on it, and the wooden frame is divided into two tiers, each with many small jacks, in which the already blown candy man is inserted: there are mice, there are tigers, there are Monkey King, there are Zhu Bajie...... There are also many sugar men with cartoon characters. The vendor uses a small shovel to take a little hot syrup, put it on the hand stained with talcum powder and rub it, then holds one end with his mouth, and after blowing the bubble, he quickly puts it in the wooden mold coated with talcum powder, blows hard, and after a while, opens the wooden mold, and a candy man in the shape of a goldfish is ready.

Xiao Baozi was dumbfounded and waved his hand to applaud.

The vendor was an old man, looking at the child's cuteness, showing a kind smile, and bowed his head and asked, "Little friend, do you want to buy candy man?" What do you want? Grandpa will do it for you. ”

Xiao Baozi glanced at Bai Tang and said to the vendor: "Grandpa, I want a sugar man with a pleasant goat." ”

"Pleasant goat? Okay, wait a while, grandpa will help Nian do it immediately. ”

"Be two pleasant goats." Bai Tang said.

Xiao Baozi looked up at Bai Tang in surprise.

Bai Tang smiled and touched Xiao Baozi's head: "Two pleasant goats, one for Xiaokang and one for you." ”

"Thank you, auntie!" Xiao Baozi smiled happily, and his two eyes were crooked like two crescent moons, which was very beautiful.

The vendor also smiled, took out two molds, and began to make the candy man, and a few minutes later, two different forms of the Pleasant Goat candy man arrived in the hands of the little bun. The little bun loved it very much, and sweetly thanked the vendor. A woman was attracted by the smile of Xiao Baozi and walked to the stall.

"a pair of New Year's dolls."

"Ling Xin?" Bai Tang recognized the woman as her college classmate.

"Baitang?" Ling Xin also recognized Bai Tang and greeted him with a light smile.

Let Xiao Baozi play by himself, and the two classmates who haven't seen each other for a few years find a place to sit down and catch up.

"I heard that you went to work in the magic capital after graduating from college, are you coming back to see your parents now?" Bai Tang asked. She knew that Ling Xin had a big brother, and she didn't have to quit her high-paying job in the magic capital to return to Province C in order to take care of her parents.

"No, I quit my job and won't go to the magic capital in the future." Ling Xin sighed, his eyebrows filled with unsolvable confusion and melancholy.

"Huh?" Bai Tang was surprised. I heard that Ling Xin's work unit is a very well-known foreign-funded company, and the treatment is very good, so she is willing not to want this job.

Ling Xin smiled bitterly: "For some personal reasons, I don't want to stay in the company anymore." And I still have some doubts, so I just went home and asked my parents. ”

"Oh!" Bai Tang answered, and did not ask what the reason was. On the contrary, Ling Xin said it herself, maybe it was too uncomfortable to suppress it in her heart, Ling Xin really wanted to find someone to talk to, and she happened to meet an old classmate who was trustworthy, and Ling Xin spit out all her troubles.

"I actually have selective amnesia."

"Huh?" Bai Tang was surprised, didn't he see that Ling Xin had amnesia? She even remembered her old classmate who hadn't seen her for a few years, how could she have amnesia?

"It's true, I lost the memory of a year. I'm actually one year older than you, but I don't remember anything about the year after graduating from high school, and I didn't think I would graduate or go to college until the next year when I went to college with you! Ling Xin said with a frown.

"So you're recovering the memories of that year?" Bai Tang guessed.

Ling Xin nodded, his gaze cast into the distance, his gaze blurred.

"That year, I was eighteen years old, just a junior in high school. There is a high-end hotel near my house, and it is occupied by both rich and foreigners. On that day, while riding a bicycle, I was thinking about the sample questions of the college entrance examination that my teacher taught today, and I ended up knocking over a person. That man's name was Fuji Michiji, twenty-five or sixteen years old, tall and thin, handsome, clean temperament, and a sunny smile made my heart pound. I thought that my fate with him would end with that collision, but I didn't expect him to start chasing me. At that time, I was too young to even have my first love, so I simply fell into his love network......"

"He was very sincere and attentive, and even my parents and eldest brother were touched by him. After graduating from high school, I married him and went to live in his country with him......"

"He took me to every corner of Kyoto, visiting Kinkaku-ji, Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Senyong-ji Temple; Eat royal cuisine at the Kyoto Imperial Palace and authentic sake at izakaya; He took me to a Kabuki performance, and then went to Asahikaikaka in the south of the Royal Square to watch an original Japanese drama. He promised me that he would take me to Arashiyama every year to see the cherry blossoms in the spring and the autumn leaves in the autumn......"

"It's a pity that life is not a fairy tale, even princes and princesses have their own troubles, let alone an ugly duckling who is not even Cinderella. Cinderella was able to become a princess at that time, because she was also a nobleman, had a good background, and was on the same level as the prince, and I and Fujidoji were not people of the same world at all. ”

"Fuji Michiji likes to watch Noh and opera, and I doze off when I see them; Fujimichi likes to listen to classical music, and I like pop music; In terms of the taste of food, we have a huge difference. Fuji Michiji likes the traditional food of the neon country, but I don't like to eat anything other than ramen...... In addition to the differences in living habits and culture, I don't like the many family rules and those relatives who look down on people. Fuji is an old-fashioned aristocratic family in the neon country, the family is wealthy, and the relatives and friends are all of noble births, so they naturally look down on me, a foreign daughter-in-law who has no net worth at all. They always deliberately made things difficult for me, making me perform tea ceremonies and ikebana in front of them, and kept mocking; Deliberately discussing the Milanese fashion show in front of me, showing off the proceeds at Sotheby's made me know that paupers like me simply can't enter their upper classes...... Hehe, it's hard for me to endure it for so long. ”

"And then?" Bai Tang asked. She believed that Ling Xin would be separated from her husband and even lose her memory for this little thing, this girl had a tough temperament, and the above setbacks could not defeat this girl at all.

"And then, ah......" Ling Xin smiled sadly. R1152
