There should be a zealous commitment to acting ethically, not in vain. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
- Democritus (the great materialist philosopher of ancient Greece, one of the founders of the doctrine of atomic materialism)
Three days before the arrival of the New Year, Bai Feng took his younger brothers and sisters to tell stories and eat barbecue every day; I have to admit that eating barbecue can always increase people's food consumption, including Bai Feng, nine people, can eat the food of twenty people a day in the past.
In these three days, the eight people who came to Baifeng's small courtyard on the first day did not return to their own small courtyard at all that night, and the bonfire barbecue in Baifeng's courtyard lasted until late at night, and then ended in everyone's laughter.
After that, Bai Rou, Bai Han, and Bai Ling'er slept in Bai Feng's room, Bai Kai and Bai Le also slept in the first room on the left side of Bai Feng's room, Bai Sa and Bai Shan slept in the second room on the left side of Bai Feng's room, and finally Bai Feng and Bai Kai slept in the room on the right;
In the next two days, everyone naturally had no intention of leaving, and the nine brothers and sisters of the Bai family spent the three days before the New Year in Bai Feng's small courtyard;
Today is the first day of the new year, and it is also a day for all families to reunite with each other, and all the people of the Bai family will be reunited in the Bai Mansion on this day;
Before the noon New Year's reunion feast began, the whole Baifu was still busy, and when noon came, all the busyness would stop, leaving only a few servants to continue to serve, and the other servants and maids also needed to go home for reunion.
Llorente Province is still a relatively strong place to have a strong human touch, which may also be related to the Bai family's own emphasis on family affection; in short, during the New Year's holidays, the Bai Mansion will always give most of the servants and maids a holiday home, and will also give all the servants and maids a rich reward.
In the morning, when the White Mansion was still busy, Bai Mingcheng took the lead in returning to the White Mansion from the Governor's Mansion in Llorente City; it only took less than ten minutes to get from the Governor's Mansion to the White Mansion, and Bai Mingcheng hurried home after finishing his official duties.
Bai Sa took all his younger brothers and sisters to welcome the elders of the family home at the door, Bai Feng was naturally among them, or in second place after Bai Sa;
This should have been something that belonged to the Bai family, and the old housekeeper Bai Fu did not allow Bai Kai and Bai Rou to go to the door to greet him, but Bai Feng's insistence was far beyond the imagination of the old housekeeper Bai Fu, and in the end, Bai Fu reluctantly agreed to Bai Feng's request.
This is a scene like this at the gate of Bai Mansion, Bai Sa is dressed in a costume and stands at the front, followed by Bai Feng, who is also extraordinary, and then Bai Kai and Bai Rou, all the way to the youngest Bai Ling'er, the arrangement of this position is completely Bai Feng's decision.
If Bai Kai and Bai Rou were placed at the back, wouldn't it be deliberately placed outside the Bai family that Bai Kai and Bai Rou were placed outside the Bai family, so Bai Feng directly arranged this order of greetings in order of age, and Bai Han, who ranked third in previous years, was also sent to the third from the bottom.
These conventions and etiquette have never been clearly stipulated in the Bai family, and the arrangement method of previous years was that Bai Sa, a big grinning guy, was arranged according to the family at will, only this year's arrangement was arranged by Bai Feng based on the age of the Bai family.
Bai Mingcheng, who went home first, found out that the team greeted at the door this year was different, he dismounted and handed over the reins to the servants on the side, and then came straight to Bai Sa's side, Bai Mingcheng, who was full of smiles, patted Bai Sa's shoulder and said:
"Not bad, not bad. ”
Bai Mingcheng's praise made Bai Sa a little embarrassed, after all, this order of greeting was not arranged by him, and Bai Kai and Bai Rou were not 'snatched' from Bai Fu's old housekeeper, Bai Mingcheng had never praised him so much in previous years.
Bai Sa's biggest point may be his honesty, this guy is usually very arrogant, but he is also honest and outrageous;
"This, Dad, this year's greeting order is not arranged by me, it is all made by the second child, Xiaokai and Xiaorou are also asked by the second child from the auxiliary grandfather; ”
In the first two sentences, Bai Sa said quite frankly, but later he couldn't help but praise himself; can Bai Mingcheng still not know what kind of virtue his son is? After giving Bai Sa a slap on the head, Bai Mingcheng laughed and scolded:
"Do you think I don't know if Feng'er got it? How far is the Governor's Mansion from Baifu, do you think I don't know about the fact that the nine of you went out again on the third day after Feng'er fell down the mountain stream?
I praise you for being good because you don't cause me as much trouble at home as before, otherwise I wouldn't be tired if I had nothing to do and would take time to beat you up? Of course, I also know that this is the credit of Feng'er, your big brother did it!"
Bai Mingcheng shook his head as he spoke, and walked over in front of Bai Sa, leaving only Bai Sa with a confused face still messy in the wind; After coming to Bai Feng's side, looking at the indifferent smile on Bai Feng's face, Bai Mingcheng also said with emotion:
"Feng'er, you are really good, much stronger than your eldest brother, in the future, our Bai family will rely on your generation to support this piece of Llorente, you have to work hard, don't let your father down, everything you do for your father is in your eyes, you are stronger than when I was young!"
Bai Mingcheng has never boasted so much about any of his children, Bai Feng is the first one, but Bai Sa will not be jealous of his younger brother for this matter, everyone is originally a family, isn't it?
In fact, the most gratifying thing for Bai Mingcheng this year is that Bai Kai and Bai Rou can appear in front of Bai Mansion, Bai Kai and Bai Rou's father died on the battlefield for the Bai family, Bai Mingcheng has always wanted to integrate Bai Kai and Bai Rou into the Bai family completely, but Bai Fu has always guarded that hurdle.
Now Bai Kai and Bai Rou finally appeared in front of Bai Fu's door, which also means that Bai Fu is willing to let Bai Kai and Bai Rou integrate into the Bai family, which can be regarded as Bai Feng's unexpected joy to Bai Mingcheng;
