Chapter 40: The Sorrow of the Poor
As the saying goes: no one asks if you are poor in the downtown area, but you have distant relatives in the mountains.
Bai Junzhi can be said to have a very thorough understanding of this sentence.
This Saturday afternoon, Bai Jun's own uncle was going to set up a banquet for his only son - a pre-wedding banquet, and the relatives of both sides would meet, and Bai Jun's father would take Bai Jun with him. In fact, she didn't want to go, but the family was urging tightly, and her father had to take her to her cousin, so she had no choice but to give up her weekend vacation and rush home at noon.
As soon as Bai Jun entered the house, his ass was pulled up by his father before he could touch the chair.
"Let's take a small guest at half past one in the afternoon, it's almost time now, we have to leave quickly."
Bai Jun didn't even drink saliva after entering the house, and he was very dissatisfied with his father's arrangement at the moment.
"Is it that urgent? I just stepped into the house with my front foot, and you told me to go with my back foot? ”
Bai Jun's father saw that she was disobedient, and he spoke against the fire, and suddenly rushed up.
"Where are you talking so nonsense, who told you not to come back sooner? Hurry up and get up, you can't catch the car for a while, you see me......"
"What's the matter? You're still trying to beat me? Do you have what it takes to beat you? If you dare to touch me again, you can see if I can turn my face with you! ”
"You little bunny!"
Before Bai Jun's father could finish speaking, he turned around to find the shovel placed by the door, and then picked up his arm and threw himself at Bai Jun.
"That's it! What do you want? ”
Bai Jun's mother made a gesture to protect Bai Jun, and Bai Jun's father's hand picking up a shovel stopped in mid-air.
"Junjun, hurry up and pack up and go with your dad, don't make him unhappy."
Bai Jun forced tears back into his eyes and stared at his father stubbornly.
"I said, what else are you watching? Do you still want to be beaten? Let's go! ”
Bai Jun saw that his mother's face no longer contradicted him, and obediently followed his father out of the house.
The father and daughter walked to the station just in time to catch the little passenger, and half an hour later, Bai Jun and the two got off at the place.
"Dad, how much money are we going to take this time?"
Bai Jun got out of the car and asked casually as he walked.
"Then your cousin's pre-wedding banquet, we can't lose our share! I brought 2,000 yuan and handed it over to your uncle alone in a moment. ”
Bai Jun's father's voice was an octave higher, as if he was afraid that others would not hear it, and the people around him looked sideways at the father and daughter.
Bai Jun's eyes widened in surprise when he heard this.
"What? Two thousand? Don't you know how much money you have in your own hands? You eat, drink, prostitute and gamble every day, and now you still have lung problems that need to be treated, where did you get the 2,000 yuan gift money? You can't get by! When you were hospitalized for tuberculosis some time ago, did they give you two thousand? ”
Bai Jun's father felt a little unbearable on his face when Bai Jun said this, and hurriedly pulled Bai Jun to a place where there was no one on the side.
"You little girl, you don't understand! That's your uncle, your brother! Your own brother got married, and we got two thousand, what's the matter? Marriage is a big deal, and we can't worry about money. ”
Bai Jun was not happy when he heard his father's words, and immediately retorted.
"My brother? Why the hell are we two fathers and mothers......"
Before Bai Jun could react, a solid slap landed on her face.
Bai Jun stared at her father in front of her in surprise and disbelief.
Bai Jun's father didn't mean to show weakness at all when he saw Bai Jun's eyes.
"Look at what you see, and then I'll give you another slap."
Bai Jun's father raised his hand, Bai Jun subconsciously closed his eyes and dodged, and the last slap did not fall.
"You little conscienceless, your heart is too ruthless! I kind of understand, your mother and I can't count on you in the future, others don't want to get half a benefit from you, you're too selfish. ”
The more Bai Jun's father spoke, the more excited he became, and his voice trembled.
"Okay, okay, I won't say it, I can't understand it with you, you can follow as much as you like, it has nothing to do with me!"
Saying that, Bai Jun walked forward without looking back, and she couldn't help crying at this time, as stubborn as she was.
Uncle Baijun's banquet was placed in his own courtyard. In this rural area, there is nothing else but a large courtyard, and here her uncle is busy entertaining guests.
"Uncle, my dad and I came to see you."
As soon as Bai Jun entered the hospital, he was busy saying hello to his uncle. Here, her uncle saw them but didn't come to them right away, and at the moment he was busy greeting the so-called old classmates!
Bai Jun and her father were left to dry on the side for about ten minutes before they caught her uncle's attention.
"Hey! It's Junjun and his father! You're here......"
As he spoke, someone called him again.
"You stand here and wait, I'll come back and arrange for you later."
Saying that, Uncle Bai Jun left again, and Bai Jun and his father were left to dry for another ten minutes.
"I said you saw it, right? People don't want to deal with you at all, so why do you still think you're a character? Day by day, clean this hot face and stick to other people's cold butts. ”
Bai Jun looked at his father with disdain, and said unceremoniously on his lips.
Bai Jun's father couldn't hold his face at the moment, and when he was annoyed, he poured all his anger on Bai Jun, and raised his arm to her.
"Let you talk more, you will talk more!"
Over there, Uncle Bai Jun happened to come over and saw this scene and hurriedly pulled Bai Jun's father.
"Brother, what are you doing here? Why are you beating the child again? This kid is also older, but he can't fight like he did when he was a child! ”
"Okay, you don't care, she owes a beating."
"Okay, okay, come with me."
Saying that, Uncle Bai Jun pulled the two of them to the innermost part of the shed.
"You just make this table, and a few more people will come in a while, don't worry if you don't know each other."
After speaking, Uncle Bai Jun turned around and left without staying too long. Bai Jun and his father finished the wedding banquet with a table of people they didn't know.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the two returned home, and Bai Jun's mother came forward.
"Junjun, take me with you when you go back to Dashen tomorrow, I want to go to the Guanyin Temple in Dashen to worship the Bodhisattva."
"Okay, I might leave early tomorrow, you can clean up tonight."
Bai Jun dragged his tired body and said.
"Okay, okay, I'll clean up, dress up cleanly and go to worship the Bodhisattva tomorrow."
After getting Bai Jun's affirmative answer, Bai Jun's mother happily went to the outhouse to wash her face.
Seven o'clock the next morning.
"Mom, have you packed up? We've got to go. ”
"Alright, let's go."
Bai Jun's mother carried a cloth bag into her arms and said to Bai Jun when she walked to the door.
It took an hour and a half to get from Bai Jun's house to Da Shen by big bus, and Bai Jun didn't say a word to his mother in the car for one and a half hours. She was wearing headphones the whole time, looking out the window, not knowing what she was thinking.
"The terminal station Dashen subway station has arrived, everyone take your things and get off in turn."
Bai Jun took off his headphones and walked down with his mother.
