Lawyer Hong took out a few business cards from his wallet, gave one to each of the old man and Bai Jie's two uncles, and said with a smile: "It's okay, you discuss it slowly, and contact me after discussion." ”

Seeing that Lawyer Hong had come out, White Lotus hurriedly greeted him and asked how the conversation went.

Lawyer Hong said lightly: "People have to think about it for a few days, and they haven't given me an answer yet." ”

The White Lotus hitchhiked back to the city with him.

After Lawyer Hong and White Lotus left, the old lady frowned and said, "I don't know if the boss will come back this week." ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, and said, "If you don't come back this afternoon, call him tomorrow and ask him to come back even if he asks for leave, and give me this matter." ”

The old lady nodded, and the old man went to work in the fields with his farm tools.

Soon it was Friday.

In order to take care of the students who live on campus and go home on weekends, the school only has three classes on Friday afternoons, and it is usually four classes.

As soon as school ended in the afternoon, Bai Mengdie packed her schoolbag and put it on her back to prepare to go home.

Chen Ziqian got a bulky bicycle from somewhere, and he had to send her to the bus station.

Bai Mengdie wanted to lose weight and refused to let him take her on a bicycle.

Chen Ziqian couldn't resist her, so he had to push her bicycle to take her to the long-distance bus station.

On the way, he asked Bai Mengdie if she would go to the city to sell fruit this weekend.

Bai Mengdie knew that he wanted to meet her in the city on the weekend, but the problem was that she didn't want to see him even on the weekend.

The two of them are now at the same table, and five days a week are not enough to be close to each other, and they have to mingle on weekends!

So she lied, all the fruits that her family should have sold had already been sold, and she didn't have to go to the city again this week.

also bitterly persuaded Chen Ziqian not to waste his time this weekend and study hard at home.

Chen Ziqian sullenly sent her on the long-distance bus.

When Bai Mengdie rushed to the house, her father Bai Aiguo had already returned to the village before her.

Because Bai Mengdie is going home for the weekend today, the old lady went to the town early in the morning to buy two catties of pork belly, two kelp and a few pieces of tofu, and cook a few decent dishes for the big baby to eat in the evening.

In the market, I saw a villager selling two and a half sized goats.

The old lady thought that Bai Mengdie loved to eat mutton.

It's a pity that there are no sheep in rural Hubei, and it is not easy to get baby lambs, so she didn't buy two baby lambs in the spring.

The old lady went over and inquired about the price, and the price quoted by the villager was not low.

The old lady didn't think it was too cost-effective, so she didn't buy it, but she said a little more, and asked the villager curiously why he sold goats at this time.

Hubei Province also eats some mutton in winter, and in other seasons, unless it is a special restaurant that sells mutton, no one generally eats it, mainly because of the fear of fire.

The villager who sold the goats told her that the family was in a hurry to sell them, otherwise they could sell them at a higher price when they were sold at the end of the year.

The old lady was kind-hearted, and when she saw that the little goat sold by the villager was robbed by someone who deliberately lowered the price, sell it, the villager felt that it was a loss, so he didn't sell it, and waited for the money to be used, which was very difficult.

The old lady bought the two little goats at the price the townsman had said.

The old lady's idea is very simple, who is not in a difficult situation, can help others when they can.

Although the little goats of this villager are not cheap, the baby goats only eat grass, and the feed does not cost money, so it takes some manual labor to feed.

Wait until the Chinese New Year to sell, even if you don't make money, at least you don't have to lose, so she bought it.

The Bai family is just an ordinary banker, even if the old lady wants to help others, she can only do what she can, she can't lose money to help others, she doesn't have the conditions to lose.

Bai Aiguo got off the bus in the town, walked to the village with something in his hand, and happened to be seen by the three Bai Wei sisters and brothers who were out of school.

They know Bai Aiguo too well, and as long as they come back, they will bring delicious food to the old man and Bai Mengdie.

Several children hurriedly threw their legs to catch up with Bai Aiguo, and shouted sweetly Uncle Hello, wanting to eat something.

Bai Aiguo actually likes children, in the past, Bai Sheng's brothers used to buy this and that for two hours, he always bought them this and that.

But because of Yao Cuihua, he really doesn't like Bai Wei's children, but he doesn't hate them, no matter how many of his own brother's children are still a little blood kinship.

In the past, several children played this kind of ghost idea, and he satisfied them, isn't it just a small snack, and it's not a big deal.

But Bai Ai's family went to the provincial capital to find him to cheat money, making him tired of Wu and the house, and didn't want to pay attention to Bai Wei's three sisters and brothers, Bai Aiguo responded lightly and continued to go home.

Seeing that Bai Aiguo didn't give them food as usual, the Bai Wei sisters and brothers didn't give up, and chattered around him and asked, "Uncle, what are you carrying in your hand?" ”

Bai Aiguo saw that they all asked clearly, and if they didn't give them something to eat, they would definitely be pestered and refused to leave, so he stopped, put the things in his hand on the ground, grabbed a few twist flowers from a bag, and gave two to each child.

The three Bai Wei sisters and brothers achieved their goal and dispersed in a hurry.

Bai Aiguo saw that they didn't run to the village, so he knew that they were going to the wild, and shouted in the back: "If you don't go home to do your homework after school, where will you be a wild horse?" ”

Cailing chewed the twist flower in his hand rattle: "Uncle, don't worry about us, we can come back to farm if we can't read."

Take care of Fluttershy, if she doesn't get into college and doesn't have a field, she won't even be able to eat. ”

This knife was thrust into Bai Aiguo's chest and bloody, but there was nothing wrong with this niece's words.

Bai Aiguo lifted the bag on the ground and walked home depressed.

Yao Cuihua saw Bai Aiguo from afar in the field, and hurriedly said to Bai Aijia: "Your eldest brother is back, you hurry up and beg your eldest brother to let us move back to the Bai family."

Are you really going to live in that adobe house that is about to collapse? ”

Bai Aijia continued to work, and said in a sullen voice: "I'm not going!" ”

A few days ago, he went to the city to cheat Bai Aiguo out of money, and he felt embarrassed in his heart, so he was embarrassed to go to the boss again to ask for a house.

Besides, the boss has always looked at him unpleasantly, and he won't agree when he opens his mouth, so what kind of nail does he touch!

The most important thing is that he is worried that even if the eldest brother can let his family move back, can the ancestors of the Bai family let them go back?

Don't just move back on the front foot, and the snakes on the back foot go and return, their family still has to get out of the way in the end, and they have to be despised by the villagers again, so it's better to be content with the status quo.

Bai Aijia told Yao Cuihua about his concerns.

Yao Cuihua disagreed: "Why are you so unproductive? As long as your father and eldest brother promise us to live back, and let them beg in front of your Bai family's ancestors and ancestors, I don't believe that the ancestors of your Bai family will not let us go!

Aren't you a descendant of the Bai family? The ancestors of the Bai family want to kill us all so much? "I forced Bai Aijia to beg Bai Aiguo, but Bai Aijia resolutely refused.

"Useless stuff!" Yao Cuihua scolded Bai Aijia, so she had to charge into battle herself.

She came up from the field, and ran towards Bai Aiguo despite the mud on her legs, shouting as she ran: "Big brother, hey, big brother, you wait!" ”

Bai Aiguo frowned in disgust, as long as his little brother-in-law asked him, he would call him eldest brother, and if he had nothing to ask for, he would call him the child's uncle, especially a philistine.

Bai Aiguo pretended not to hear and continued to walk home.

Yao Cuihua panted and chased after him, blocking his way, and said dissatisfiedly: "Big brother, I shouted you for a long time, how can you pretend to be deaf and dumb and ignore people?" ”

"Why can't I?" Bai Aiguo's face was cold, "I ignore you and don't break the law." ”

Yao Cuihua was choked to death by him, this guy doesn't open his mouth, forget it, and when he opens his mouth, he won't give people face and a way to live.

But now that she has a request for him, Yao Cuihua doesn't dare to care, and even if she cares, she is not Bai Aiguo's opponent.

People are like being cadres in such a big state-owned enterprise, no more than she can talk and be honest!

Yao Cuihua said with a smile: "Big brother, I have something to ask you to decide." ”

Bai Aiguo didn't even look at her, and said indifferently: "You have a big idea, who do you want to make the decision for you, don't laugh!" ”

Yao Cuihua hit two nails in a row, so she had to go straight to the point: "That's the case, my parents have to split up, you say that if you split up, you will split up, why did you drive us to live in the old house?"

The eldest brother told his parents, let's go back to live and travel, the old house is leaking and can't live in it. ”

Bai Aiguo asked, "Then where do you live now?" ”

Yao Cuihua was stunned for a moment, looked at him suspiciously, and replied, "Of course I live in an old house, otherwise I will sleep in the wilderness." ”

An imperceptible smile flashed at the corner of Bai Aiguo's mouth: "Didn't you say that the old house couldn't be inhabited?" Isn't your family already moving in, aren't you okay? ”

Yao Cuihua was so angry that she almost vomited blood, and she knew that Bai Aiguo didn't have a good heart to ask her, so she dug a pit and buried her.

Yao Cuihua stammered, "That'...... That old house is going to collapse at any moment, and you're not afraid of accidents. ”

Bai Aiguo chuckled and said, "Our family and my parents don't live there, what will happen to me if something happens?" ”

Yao Cuihua was choked to death again: "Although you will not have an impact, but our family lives inside, in case the house collapses, people will die."

You just don't care about the life and death of me and my beloved family, you have to take care of the safety of your nieces and nephews, Bai Wei sisters and brothers are not adults yet, if there is something long, two short, your uncle's heart will not be peaceful. ”

"Why are you restless?" Bai Aiguo still spoke calmly, "The three of them are not my children.

You, as a mother, can repair the old house without taking money regardless of their life or death, so why should I, as an uncle, eat salty rice and worry about it! ”

Yao Cuihua had long expected that Bai Aiguo would not enter the oil and salt, but he was also too straightforward.

But she still wants to die and struggle: "Who said I don't want to repair the old house, but I don't have the money." ”

"It's my business!" Bai Aiguo coldly spit out these four words.

None of them in the Bai family knew that Yao Cuihua gave all her family's money to her mother's family.

As a man and an uncle, he is not easy to mention, so he doesn't mention them, so he ignores them.

Yao Cuihua stopped, she knew that no matter how she begged, Bai Aiguo would be hard-hearted and not help her, he was this kind of person!

When Bai Aiguo walked near the gate of the courtyard, the old lady had just cut a large bundle of grass from outside and came back to feed the two little goats she had just bought.

Bai Aiguo walked two steps quickly, put the plastic bag in his hand on his wrist, took the big bundle of grass from the old lady's back and carried it on his back, and asked puzzledly: "Mom, what are you doing when you come back from cutting so much grass?" We don't have cattle at home. ”

"Although our family does not raise cattle, we do have sheep, and I cut this forage back to feed the sheep." The old lady took out the key and opened the courtyard door.

Bai Aiguo followed her into the yard and asked where the sheep came from.

The old lady told him the reason and said, "We have mutton to eat in our family during the Chinese New Year this year." ”

He also told his eldest son about the old man's plan to buy a cow next year.

Bai Aiguo put the bundle of grass on the side of the sheepfold, glanced at the two little goats, and said, "Since Dad wants to buy cows, let's buy it, borrowing other people's ox to plow the land is not to give money to the family!" ”

"That's it." The old lady threw the right amount of grass in the sheepfold, and the two little goats bleated and ran to graze.

The old lady patted the grass clippings that stuck to her body when she cut the grass and asked, "Why haven't you come back for so long?" Fluttershy has told her grandfather about you.

It doesn't matter if you don't come back to see us, and you don't care about your wife and children?

Fluttershy, in particular, has been without a mother since she was born, and your father works in the city, and she sees you several times a month, and you don't come back after such a long time! ”

Bai Aiguo lowered his head guiltily, "It's not that I don't want to come back to see Fluttershy, it's that I've been working overtime in the factory for the past few weeks......"

"Your factory is really strange, the efficiency is so poor, what are the extra shifts? I haven't won a prize for nearly a year. The old lady went to the hall, opened the door, and went into the house to pour water and drink for her eldest son, who had returned from the dust.

Bai Aiguo saw his elderly mother pouring water for him, and hurriedly stopped, "Mom, I'll come by myself." ”

He put down the plastic bags he had slung to his wrist and poured the old lady a glass of water before pouring it for himself.

The old lady stared at the plastic bags that Bai Aiguo brought back and asked, "I haven't been back for more than a month, what good things did I buy for Fluttershy?" ”

Bai Aiguo tilted his neck and drank all the whole glass of water, then put the cup on the table of the Eight Immortals, opened the plastic bag, and took things out from the inside.

"These catties of peach crisp and mung bean cakes are for Mom and Dad, and these twist flowers and steamed buns are for Fluttershy's siblings.

This piece of material asked Chunfang to make a dress for Fluttershy, and she hasn't bought a summer dress for the girl this year.

This bag is all loquat given by a colleague, and it is also for Fluttershy's siblings. ”

He handed the big bag of dim sum to the old lady, and smiled ashamedly: "The efficiency of the factory is not good, I don't have any money in my hand, I didn't buy anything for my father and mother, just these few catties of dim sum......"

The old lady took the bag of snacks and sighed: "I used to say that the big brother of the worker and the second brother of the farmer.

In those years, if our family didn't have the support of you and Ruosu's two salaries, how could life be so good?

Who knows that now the life of the peasants is better, and the life of the workers is miserable again, and your factory is not as good as one day at a time, what can you do in this day! ”

Bai Aiguo became more and more sad when he heard this, his head hung low, and he whispered: "It's all because I don't have the ability, as the eldest in the family, I can't let my parents spend my old age in peace, and I can't take care of my younger siblings, and I can't even let my wife and children live a good life......"
