Chapter 005 Bai Family Household Book

There is a street in the old/city/district of Ruiyun City, which has a nice name, called Scholar Street.

There were originally schools in this neighborhood, but now most of these schools have been relocated out of the city, and the construction of the new/city/district has gradually made it a corner of the city, and few people care about it.

The original dozens of stationery stores and bookstores have also been relocated, relocated and closed, and this scholarly street has gradually become difficult to hear the sound of reading and turning books.

At the end of Scholar Street, there is a bookstore that is still open, with an interesting title, called Lack of Books. There is a couplet on both sides of the door, and the words are very light, some of them are peeling and dilapidated, and it is rare to be clean, just like the surrounding environment, it is rare to be quiet.

"Yes, it is also relieved, and it is known."

The warm spring afternoon sun shines from the sky, driving away the cold that is not much left in the cold winter, and through the poplar trees that are not tall and densely branched, it shines into the doors and windows of the bookstore, sprinkling a patch.

There was an old lady leaning on the chaise longue with a book in her hand, covered with a blanket, reading glasses on the bridge of her nose, and holding a black cat at her feet.

Yang Qi pushed the door in, and the black cat's ears were erected and he didn't even bother to raise his eyelids, and he was already familiar with the footsteps to the extreme. The old lady just pushed her reading glasses and continued to read.

"White Grandma." Yang Qi approached, came to the old lady's side, and said softly with excitement, "I have something to tell you." ”

He wants to tell this old lady who is so kind to him that she has changed and is no longer stupid.

"I went to eat first, and then helped Aunt Chen wash the dishes and chopsticks. The first few little guys are making a lot of noise, you go and watch it. If you have anything to say, I'll say it when I'm done with my nap. ”

The old lady still didn't look up, she commanded a few times as usual, her voice was a little tired, and after speaking, she pulled up the blanket on her body, narrowed her eyes, and responded to her with the black cat rubbing a few times at her feet.

Seeing this, Yang Qi didn't speak again, turned around and closed the door of the bookstore, and didn't lock it, there are very few people buying books in this place now, so he doesn't worry about someone coming to disturb Mrs. Bai's rest.

Behind the bookstore is a courtyard surrounded by several bungalows, and the room is not high, but the place is not small, which is where Yang Qi grew up. Yang Qi is an orphan who was abandoned by his parents when he was very young and raised by Mrs. Bai. Mrs. Bai once told Yang Qi that when she picked him up, she had two notes on her body, one with "Yang" written and the other with Yang Qi's illness. In addition to these two notes, Yang Qi also had a longevity lock and a gold bracelet on his body, both of which were delicate objects from the rich man's house. These old white ladies said it once, and never mentioned it again.

Yang Qi naturally understands the reason why he was abandoned now, but he doesn't have any particularly fluctuating emotions about it, and he never thought of tracing his life experience, for him, this is his home, whether it is in the past, present or future.

In addition to Yang Qi, Mrs. Bai also adopted six orphans, all of whom were younger than Yang Qi, and they all had some problems with them, and they could even be said to be disabled, so it can be said that this is a small orphanage. But the words orphanage and orphan, Mrs. Bai never let anyone mention it, saying that this is a home.

Mrs. Bai's ancestors were all scholars, and she had several jinshi, and she was still a big family in the Republic of China. If life is divided into four seasons, for Mrs. Bai, it is spring before the age of 20, and winter after the age of 20.

At the age of 20, the family declined, and a few years later, it was wiped out, and only two younger sisters were still alive with her, and the two sisters were taken to Hong Kong by relatives, and she got married. Later, her husband died during the war years, leaving no heirs, and never remarried.

Relying on the property left by his ancestors, he lived lonely and strong in this small city, and he bought a house around this yard a long time ago, and there was no shortage of food or clothing, but there were too many things that should have been missing. After adopting some Yang Qi and others, life has undergone some changes.

"It's back. The meal is still hot, you go eat first. ”

A woman in her forties walked out of a room, she was Aunt Chen, and she had been here to help since Yang Qi could remember. After adding a lot of children to the yard, Aunt Chen also stopped Mrs. Bai from hiring people, saying that these children were pitiful and afraid that they would hire someone to hurt the children if they were not careful and thoughtful, most of them were busy with her alone, and occasionally her husband would come to help with the heavy work, and she would do it for more than ten years, and there would be complaints, but they were just lip service.

The children in this yard are very different from normal children for various reasons, sometimes they can make Aunt Chen cry angrily, sometimes they cry pitifully, and sometimes they are moved to cry, and they wipe away their tears after crying and continue to work. I have the intention of leaving, but I have never been willing to give up. Aunt Chen and her husband have never had children, and to a large extent, they regard the children in this yard as their own.

After eating the still hot meal and washing the dishes and chopsticks, Yang Qi opened his eyes vigorously, looked at a few guys in the yard fighting, and said secretly, In fact, we have always been very happy children. Don't worry about food, don't worry about clothing, no scolding, no abuse, Aunt Chen is good to them, Uncle Chen is good to them, and Grandma Bai is good to them, it's just that they have received some white eyes from society, it's really nothing.

"Auntie, I'll come."

Seeing Aunt Chen carrying a large basin full of clothes, Yang Qi went up to take it, and then dried the clothes in the yard.

"Ah Yang, why do you look weird today."

Aunt Chen is naturally very familiar with Yang Qi, and from her every move, she can find that Yang Qi is different from usual, and asked suspiciously.

"I'm all right."

Yang Qihui returned to Aunt Chen with a bright smile.

"Okay?" Aunt Chen was stunned.

"Yes, well, I'm all cured."

Yang Qi smiled even brighter, and there was even a hint of wetness in his eyes, touching him to share good things with his family.

"Really?"

Aunt Chen immediately put down the work she was doing, went to Yang Qi's side, reached out and touched Yang Qi's forehead, and stared at Yang Qi for a long time, her eyes were already flooded with tears, and she was extremely excited.

"It's not icing, it's really not icing."

Stretching into Yang Qi's neck again, Aunt Chen found that the cold on Yang Qi's body was gone, and the body temperature of ordinary people was restored.

"Quick, go tell you the good news of Grandma Bai!"

Aunt Chen took Yang Qi's hand and walked to the bookstore, her hands trembling a little. Yang Qi is the first child in this yard, and it is the child that Aunt Chen watched grow up, although he has always been a little stupid, but he is the most peaceful and well-behaved one, and he has helped do a lot of things since he was a child, and now he is okay, can he be happy! This is absolutely the same feeling as hearing that her long-ill son has suddenly recovered, and Aunt Chen can't cry.

"Grandma Bai is sleeping, let's tell her later."

"You kid, this is a great thing, don't wait."

When Aunt Chen and Yang Qi walked into the bookstore through the back door, the front door of the bookstore was also pushed open, and three people walked in, and two men pulled a child with an angry face. The two adults Yang Qi recognized that they were the neighbors around them, and the child Yang Qi was more familiar, and he was one of the children in the yard.

Seeing Aunt Chen appear, one of the men surnamed Li, who had an obvious birthmark on his left cheek, said indignantly: "Aunt Chen, you came just in time, you have to take care of this child!" ”

"What's wrong with the barbarian, what's the mess again?"

Aunt Chen hurriedly went over and snatched Huang Man from the hands of the two adults and pulled him to her side, for fear that Huang Man would be hurt in any way.

"This kid is too much!" The birthmark man surnamed Li was angry and said loudly: "Usually when we make trouble, our neighbors don't say anything, but today is really over!" Not to mention scraping the old Wang's car with stones, and throwing all the clothes that my family was drying outside into the river, the most infuriating thing is to catch my Samoyed and stone it to death, directly stoned to death, this is too ruthless! This kid is really, too much, what can happen if it goes on like this, there is no peace in this neighborhood! ”

"Yes! This kid is too violent, he looks very small, and his strength is too great. Just when Lao Li saw the kid beating the dog and pulling him, he was stunned and didn't pull him, if I hadn't gone up to help, I wouldn't have known where I had gone! The other man was Lao Wang, who was also angry.

"Nope. I didn't! ”

When Huang Man heard the words of these two adults, he immediately roared, and struggled again, his eyes widened, his face was red, how could Aunt Chen hold him.

Seeing this, Yang Qi immediately picked up Huang Man.

"Don't make a fuss!"

Yang Qi snorted in a low voice, and Huang Man quieted down at this time. Yang Qi knows very well that barbarians will not lie, even if they make a big mistake, they will admit it. Thinking carefully about the expressions of the two when they spoke, every subtle muscle twitch came to mind, and Yang Qi always felt that the anger of the two people was a little fake.

Aunt Chen was a little stunned when she heard the words of these two neighbors, this Huang Man usually makes a lot of trouble, but he has never done such an outrageous thing, and he doesn't know how to do it for a while, so he rubs his hands and is very anxious.

"Uncle Li, Uncle Wang."

Yang Qi put the quiet Huang Man in his hand, and said to the two: "The barbarian is usually naughty, but he is not so out of line. If he wants to say that he rowed the car and threw his clothes into the river, he could do these things, but if you say that the brute killed the dog, this brute must not be able to do it. Although the barbarian is not very good at brains, it is very good for animals, and which dog and cat in this neighborhood is not very kind to see the barbarian. ”

The two of them were stunned for a moment when they saw the famous Yang fool talking so methodically, but soon the birthmark man shouted again: "What do you mean by this kid, are we still lying to him!" What is friendly with animals, this child's bad brain is known to everyone, who doesn't know if Lu Dao is crazy! What the two of us saw with our own eyes, is there still a fake! ”

"I can't tell you stupid boy!" Lao Li turned to Aunt Chen again and said, "Aunt Chen, your orphanage is here, and our neighbors don't say anything, and everyone who can help will help a little." But this Huang Man child and another individual child are really naughty, what should we do in the neighborhood, they are still sick and can't be touched! It's going too far, it's going to make the neighborhood uneasy! What about Mrs. Bai, let's go to her! ”

"Losses, we pay. Children, we educate. ”

A voice came from the window, Mrs. Bai had already woken up, tidied up the blanket, sat up, looked at the two of them, and said in a small voice but extremely strongly: "But you two listen, this is not an orphanage, and none of the children in this yard are orphans, they are all on my Bai family's household registration book!" ”
