8. Home in the Gobi
"Girl, look, that's the poplar forest, this is our hero tree here, listen to the old man, the poplar tree will not die for a thousand years, it will not fall down for a thousand years after death, and it will not rot for a thousand years after it falls, and our family will also learn poplar in the future."
Bai Yuxi has been stunned by the poplar forest outside the car, which is either vertical or crooked or fallen or dead, she had heard of this kind of tree on the Internet before, but when she really saw it with her own eyes, she was still stunned by the backbone of these deserts, what kind of shock it was She couldn't say a little.
Poplar trees, in this Gobi Desert where even life is a little prohibitive, are still firmly rooted in the sea of sand, like a neglected stubborn soul silently waiting, looking forward to a tomorrow, in this barren and waterless place to take root for thousands of years, looking at these poplar trees in front of her, she feels that it seems that it is not bad to be reborn in this place, at least this is a new beginning, a place to breed hope.
It was rare to see people on the endless Gobi, and when they finally arrived at their destination and saw the names on the intersection, she understood that the place where their family lived was actually the corps of Northern Xinjiang, and she suddenly had a kind of respect in her heart.
She was also curious about the XPCC before, so she looked up these materials on the Internet, and she had the impression that the XPCC was China's largest special social organization that had both garrisoned the border and cultivated the land and practiced the "integration of the army, the government, and the enterprise."
Looking at the sparse houses in the distance, she felt that this place didn't seem to be bad, at least it wasn't polluted or anything, and living in the corps was the most attractive to her, because she hadn't passed through, so she was really curious about the guest group, and she wanted to know how the people in the Ludao Corps lived.
Bai Wenli looked at the little girl with wide eyes and looked outside, and couldn't help touching her little head, "Girl, we'll be here soon, come, put on your hat and don't catch a cold." ”
Geng Mei's eyes turned a little red when she saw that she was familiar with the house again, and she missed her home day and night for more than a year.
However, after getting off the bus, Yuxi realized that they hadn't arrived home yet, but they had arrived at the company, and they had to make another car to go home.
"Mom, pee......"
As soon as Yuxi spoke, Geng Mei and her husband hurriedly started to pee on the two children, although the girl gave her diapers along the way, but the child seemed to be sensible, and he didn't pee all the time.
But fortunately, Bai Wenli is very well-connected, and there are many people in the company, so it didn't take long to find a tractor to send the family back, but fortunately, the distance was not unbearable for her.
Before arriving at the door, Bai Haoran shouted "Grandpa......" in the car
Geng Mei hugged her daughter and looked ahead, isn't it, their old man is looking this way on the street with his hands behind his back, but when he heard his grandson's shout, he hurriedly took two steps, and when the car stopped, the old man ignored others, but first hugged the eldest grandson, and the grandparents began to make love as if no one was around.
Yuxi looked at the old man like that, and probably wanted his grandson to go crazy, "It's good to be back, Haoran Ye will carry you back to the house." ”
The old man and his daughter-in-law did not say hello, and directly hugged the eldest grandson into his yard, Geng Mei has long been accustomed to the attitude of this father-in-law, and the father-in-law has always been like this for so many years, except for having something to say to this grandson, he has little to say to anyone, including his own children, so it is no longer strange.
Yuxi pouted in her mother's arms, this old man is really, it's too obvious that he likes his grandson, he is also a granddaughter, he has been away from here for so long, why didn't he see this grandfather hug himself, let alone say anything else, but thinking about the reason why they left in the first place, I was relieved.
couldn't help but smile bitterly, who called herself born at the wrong time, or when the grandmother died, she was so charged with such a crime for no reason, she is now more wronged than Dou E, so bad people Dou E can still shout and complain, she has become a little baby who can't speak.
"Sister-in-law, you're back, you take the children back to the house first, and we'll help get the things."
Seeing that the little nephew was back, Bai Wenyi, the second eldest of the Bai family, and Bai Wenzhi, the third eldest of the Bai family, hurriedly ran out to help.
Bai Wenyi hadn't seen this niece for almost a year, but he didn't expect that when he left, he was still a wrinkled child, and he would grow so pink and tender, even he wanted to touch it when he saw it, "Sister-in-law, my niece has grown so big, be good, call me second uncle." ”
Yuxi looked up at the somewhat strange young man, she had seen it when she was born, this second uncle is not bad, the genetics are very good, and the third uncle is a handsome young man, but the time is too long, she is a little unrecognizable to this person, grinning he, "Second uncle"
Bai Wenli was taken aback by this sentence, he was just teasing the children just now, who would have thought that the little niece would really open her mouth to shout, and the words were absolutely clear, which was a little too unexpected for him.
Bai Wenli looked at the second brother's reaction with some pride, "How about it, I was taken aback, don't say it's you, when I first started, I was also taken aback, my daughter will call someone, come, this is the third uncle, but you have to call him loudly, otherwise your third uncle can't hear it." ”
Bai Wenli didn't explain that he couldn't hear anything, but Yuxi obediently shouted to the third uncle.
Bai Wenzhi heard this shout, and was a little excited, but he still rubbed his hands a little shyly, "Sister-in-law, you hurry up and take the child into the house, the child should be tired after walking all the way." ”
Yuxi was carried back to the house first, but there was a fourth uncle at home, why didn't she see it, didn't she find it back? But thinking about the long days ahead, if you want to see it, it will be sooner or later, so she doesn't bother why this person didn't show up at this moment.
The second and third children helped the eldest brother get things from the car, all of which were some specialties brought back from Sichuan, and the old mother-in-law brought back some of everything that the family could bring them back.
"Wow, this is a sausage, brother, that's great."
The third brother saw a string of sausages in his hand, and his saliva was about to slip down, Bai Wenzhi also felt happy, "Yes, we can have a big meal in the evening, I haven't seen the meat for several months, and the mouth is almost tasteless, or the sister-in-law knows that we need this." ”
The two of them seemed to be discussing what their sister-in-law had brought back for them, although the two families had been separated, they were still together for dinner, so Bai Wenli asked his younger brother to put everything in his father's house.
After a simple wash, he went back to the house to see his daughter, and after a year of separation, he seemed to have more love for this daughter.
