Bai He once thought that in the entire Bai family, only she would remember her mother, and only she would think about sending her mother some delicious food during the New Year's holidays, but she didn't want to think that in addition to her, there were people who silently missed their mother, and even did more than her as a daughter.

Bai He looked at the side face of the third aunt who was too slightly smiling, thinking that the people who were silent at home thought no less in their hearts than those who talked more every day.

"My mom won't bother you, she shouldn't be too late to be happy." Bai He looked up at the ruins and sighed that she must have hoped that someone would come to see her and talk to her often.

The third aunt nodded, the paper money had burned out, leaving a pile of smoking ashes, and she said as if talking to herself: "I can only talk to her now." ”

Bai He looked at her, usually the third aunt stays in the room at home, and she doesn't talk to them much, but now that she is out, the third aunt seems to be more comfortable.

"Are you ready to go?" She asked.

"What about you?" The third aunt asked her in turn.

"I'll see." Bai He said with a smile.

The third aunt looked around for a week and sighed, "What else are you looking at?" It's all about people. After watching it for a long time, there is nothing else but sadness. Every time I come, I just burn some money for your mother, and leave after talking, at most half an hour. ”

Bai He walked to the front steps and sat down, saying that I haven't come back for a few years, and it's okay today, I'll stay a little longer, you can go back first.

However, the third aunt also sat down beside her and asked, "What's wrong?" Get up on the wrong side of the bed? ”

"No, I just don't want to do anything today, I just want to waste my time." Bai He joked, holding his chin with one hand.

"Well, it's time for you to waste your time, you've worked too hard in the past few years." The sacrifices and efforts made by Bai He for this family may not be taken seriously by others, but the third aunt knows too well that this is not easy, especially when Bai He is not old, "Now that the country is on the right track, you don't have to worry about family affairs, and it's time for you to learn how to enjoy life from your father." ”

Bai Zhengting has no other skills, but his ability to buy happiness with money is unmatched.

Bai He said lightly: "If I had learned from him, that family would have been ruined by me a long time ago." ”

The third aunt smiled and said, "No, you won't do that." What you have in your heart is everyone, what your dad has in his heart is himself, you are father and daughter, but you don't have anything to help your father, you help your mother. After a pause, she said again: "Actually, these three children in the family don't help your father much, but Yuewei is a little bit, but her temperament is too cowardly." ”

Speaking of children, Bai He has always been curious, why did the third aunt marry Bai Zhengting for so many years and didn't give birth to a son and a half daughter? Is it a physical cause or something else?

Bai He thought about it and asked, but the third aunt turned her head to look at her and said such a sentence.

"For the first three months of marrying your dad, I was hoping to have a child, but after three months, I dispelled the idea that I didn't want to have children with your dad again." The third aunt said, "After I understand what kind of character your father is, I know that he will not be a good husband or a good father, and at that time, Zi Yi and you were not young, and I understood some things." Actually, I had a pregnancy once, and I had it the second month after I married your dad, but I couldn't keep it later. At that time, it was your mother who took care of me, really, your mother was my benefactor in this family. ”

The third aunt met Bai Zhengting by chance at that time, and then Bai Zhengting came to the door to propose marriage and marry her, and the third aunt's family was poor, and she lost her parents since she was a child, like Bai He's mother Lin Zhuyin, so she had a sympathetic closeness to Lin Zhuyin at the beginning, and after finding out that Bai Zhengting was actually different from her imaginary husband, she also talked to Lin Zhuyin. Lin Zhuyin is like her own sister.

"Now that you know what kind of man you are marrying, why don't you choose to leave him?"

The third aunt said: "At that time, how could there be such an idea, only to get by." At that time, I thought that although your father was idle and unmotivated, he was very good compared to those men who were poor and white and beat women, so I thought that I would find a safe haven, and it would be good to live like this all my life, and I could be a companion with your mother. ”

Bai He pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, "It's a pity that she left ahead of schedule." ”

"Yes...... "The third aunt also smiled, "She just left, and when she ate in the morning, she talked about going out for a walk in the afternoon, but she disappeared before she waited for the afternoon." Sometimes I often wonder, if I take her out after eating, will it be fine? Just a little earlier, a little later, the result is completely different. ”

People usually seem to have the idea after something happens: if only I had done this, if only I had arrived earlier, if only I could have reminded him......

All thoughts reveal a person's regret when the situation happens, and Bai He has also had this thought, but everything is also if, it is imaginary. Maybe at that moment, even if you do, you won't be able to undo anything.

"It's too late to say anything now, and I can only blame my mother for not being able to find a good husband to shelter her."

The third aunt nodded and said earnestly: "So Baihe, you must keep your eyes open in the future, and find a man who is responsible, responsible, and self-motivated." It's nothing to be poor, as long as he is hard-working, even if he is poor, he won't be poor for too long. What men are most afraid of is that they will be content with the status quo if they achieve nothing, look at your third aunt, look at your mother, you must not follow our old path again. ”

Bai He smiled and didn't speak, and the third aunt looked at her and said, "But I don't think you will make the same mistakes we made again." You are so smart and understand so much, your future husband will definitely not be bad, you can't look down on the bad, and he is not worthy of you. ”

Sure enough, when you are with your elders, you have to be preached, even the third aunt who is silent at home can't avoid worrying about Bai He's lifelong event.

"Third aunt, it's because I saw you and my mother that I don't want to get married."

As soon as the words fell, the third aunt frowned and asked her not to talk nonsense, saying that your mother is listening.

"How can you not get married? If you don't get married, your mother can rest assured! If you don't get married, you don't even have a companion by your side when you're old, who can take care of you? In this life, marriage is not for any inheritance, but to have someone to support each other and accompany you through this life, otherwise how lonely you have been for decades? "The third aunt said that not every man is like your father, there are still many good men in the world, you can't generalize.

Bai He didn't know how to tell the third aunt that she didn't want to get married because of Bai Zhengting's relationship, but after so many things, she really realized the happiness of a person.

Seeing that Bai He was silent, the third aunt sighed in her heart and gently touched Bai He's arm, "Actually, I think Master Fu is really good, and I also observed him for a while at Zi Yi's engagement banquet yesterday." This young man is very polite to people, at first glance it is a good person to teach, yesterday everyone was busy, he is also a guest, but he has been helping, I think this person does not treat himself as an outsider, nor does he take a fight, very good. You look good, you two stand together and are talented and beautiful. I also inquired with Yuewei, and said that I was eight or nine years older than you, how good it is, I know that it hurts people, and whatever is good will be close to you first. You and him will never be wronged. ”

The third aunt almost cared about Bai He as her daughter, which made Bai He deeply moved, but she was moved by it, and some things could not be forced.

"Third aunt, we are friends." Everyone told Bai He that Fu Jinghuai was a good man and let her seize the opportunity, but if she didn't like it, she didn't like it, she couldn't just because Fu Jinghuai was a man who was excellent in all aspects, even if she didn't like Bai He, she had to be with him, it was not only disrespectful to herself, but also disrespectful to Fu Jinghuai.

"Where are there any friends between men and women?" The third aunt saw it very thoroughly, and said that Master Fu likes you very much.

Bai He had to say truthfully: "I don't like him." ”

The third aunt is too silent, and she can now understand what it's like to live with someone who has no feelings for herself, so she can't say that feelings can be cultivated slowly. Some people cultivate love, and some people cultivate resentment.

"You still like that Mr. Zhu, right?"

Bai He looked at her for a long time and nodded calmly.

"Actually, that Mr. Zhu is also a very good person in my opinion, and he is really caring to you. It's just that there are too many rumors about him from the outside world, and I can't tell which ones are true and which ones are false, and now it is rumored that he can't have children......" The third aunt's understanding of Zhu Dongfeng is limited to those rumors.

"Although, I don't know why you broke up again when you were together at the beginning, but Bai He, you listen to me, if you really like him, as long as it is not a mistake in principle, you can be forgiven. Who hasn't done something wrong? ”

Bai He raised his head and looked at the sky, and said lightly: "You can be forgiven for doing something wrong, but he can't." ”

"Why?" The third aunt asked. First Reading Network

Bai He didn't speak, and the third aunt thought she didn't want to say it, so she didn't ask anymore, but she didn't expect Bai He to just be quiet for a moment and tell her something she never knew.

"The underground bank that lent money to Bai Zhengting back then was blessed by Dongfeng, and the people who came to collect debts were also blessed with Dongfeng. It was a gift from him that it was in ruins, and it was thanks to him that my mother died. Third aunt, how do you say I can forgive him, how can I continue to be with him? Bai He smiled helplessly and sadly, the third aunt looked at her in shock, and she continued: "He ruined my life and ruined this family with a fire, can I forgive him?" ”

"Y-When did you know about this?"

"It's been a long time. I just haven't said it. "Even if she did, who would be as sad as she was?

The third aunt was too slow, stroked her chest and said, "You said, I wish the east wind to set fire to ......"

Bai He said that it was set on fire by his people, and that was no different from him setting the fire.

"How ......" could be a fire set by someone wishing the east wind? No.

The third aunt looked to the side with flickering eyes, and what she suddenly learned made her have a trace of doubt about the past.

Bai He thought that she was shocked by the truth, and thinking that she was the same at the beginning, she couldn't help lowering her eyes, "I only told the third aunt about this matter, so please ask the third aunt to keep this secret for me." ”

The third aunt looked at her too fixedly, and nodded for a while.

"Okay, let's go, after all, this is not our own home, in case someone finds out and misunderstands, it will not be good." Bai He helped the third aunt to get up, and the two patted the dust on their bodies and walked out.

The third aunt locked the door and put away the key, she said that the lock was rusty before, and she bought a new one to install it.

Bai He stopped a rickshaw and asked him to send the third aunt first, but the third aunt was too prevaricated but could only sit on it, and told Bai He to pay attention to her safety and body when she was out alone, so that she should not worry too much about the previous things, and said that many things may be different from what she thought.

Bai He didn't understand why the third aunt said this, but the third aunt didn't want to say much, and after taking a look at her, she let the coachman pull the car away.

Knowing that Bai He was still watching her from behind, the third aunt's expression became worried, she never imagined that things would develop like this.

After returning to the Bai family, the third aunt walked very fast, and when she saw Bai Zhengting and the fourth aunt in the courtyard, she stopped, Bai Zhengting smiled and asked her what she was doing out, she didn't answer, and walked back to the room quickly with her head down.

"Hey......" Bai Zhengting looked at her suspiciously, and asked the fourth aunt: "What's wrong with her?" ”

The fourth aunt rolled her eyes: "Hasn't she always been like this?" pretending to be deaf and dumb, ignoring it, half-dead. I care so much about her, just follow and ask! ”

Bai Zhengting smiled and said I just asked casually, and then peeled a pecan and put it in the mouth of the fourth aunt.

The third aunt returned home, and Bai He also returned to Kuanzhai Hutong.

Knowing that it was not yet time to get out of class, Bai He was in the room, and Bai He ate the snacks left on the table and sat on the rattan chair, thinking about the reaction of the third aunt when she heard her words, and for some reason gave her a very strange feeling.

Bai He thought that she would ask herself why she didn't report the case in shock, but the third aunt didn't even mention it, but was in a trance, and she finally sat in the rickshaw and said: Maybe many things are different from what you think.

What do you mean?

What things are different from what Bai He thinks?

Was it just a comforting word, or did she mean something else?

Bai He shook his head, it was an accident to meet the third aunt there today, and when she goes back in the future, let's have a good chat with the third aunt.

So almost five days later, Bai Ziyi asked Bai He to go home for dinner, and Bai He knew that Qu Xiaorou had also gone when he heard his tone, so he agreed after thinking about it.

Bai He went back and saw that Fu Jinghuai was also there, and said that the accident was not too unexpected, Fu Jinghuai was probably embarrassed to participate in other people's family banquets, and explained that Bai Ziyi pulled him over.

Bai Zhengting said that it didn't matter, he would treat this place as his own home, and said that he might not become a family in the future. As he spoke, he squeezed his eyebrows and looked at Bai He, which made Bai He want to shut him up.

After eating, a few young people sat together and chatted for a while, Qu Xiaorou and Bai He and Bai Yuewei sisters didn't have much contact, and they couldn't even say a few words properly on the day of their engagement, and now that they have nothing to do, they want to talk to them a little more and be tainted with femininity.

In addition to another female military doctor in the barracks, Qu Xiaorou sees men full of sweat and smell the most every day, and over time, even the two female military doctors feel that they exude a male breath all over their bodies, and they speak straightforwardly. Now compared with Bai He and Bai Yuewei, she is really a master.

But Bai Yuewei thinks it's good for her to be like this, "Sister-in-law, there's nothing wrong with being straightforward, our family likes you like this." ”

"I can't say that there is nothing bad, but the bad part is really bad. For example, if you talk too fast but not brainy, you often offend people, but you can't find it yourself. Sometimes it's not what it means, but it just makes people think it's that way. Alas, because of this, your brother has criticized me several times, but he just can't change it. Qu Xiaorou is really annoyed that she doesn't know the art of speaking, sometimes blurting out a sentence that embarrasses the other party and embarrasses herself, she really admires those who speak softly and slowly, and turn around in their minds while talking.

Bai Yuewei also deeply sympathizes with this, she is also the kind of person who can say whatever comes to mind, so she is most afraid of communicating with people who have a lot of eyes, and it is too easy to be taken into the pit.

Bai He said: "People who really know you well and treat you as a friend will not misinterpret your meaning, so once you encounter a deliberate misinterpretation of you and misunderstand you, you can immediately stay away." That kind of person won't be your friend. ”

Bai Yuewei nodded, and Qu Xiaorou said with a smile: "I also found that in most cases, it is much more difficult to communicate with the same sex than with the opposite sex. Does it have anything to do with the amount of time I've been in the barracks? ”

"It shouldn't matter." Bai Yuewei said that we are all like this.

"That's why there is a saying that the same sex repels each other and the opposite sex attracts."

Bai Ziyi objected when he heard this, saying that this sentence is only for you women, and we men do not have such a thing as same-sex rejection.

Qu Xiaorou sighed and said, "Then you men are attracted to the same sex, and the opposite sex is also attracted?" ”

"There is ambiguity in your statement, and I refuse to answer." Bai Ziyi made a gesture, "But you have to admit that intrigue between women is very common. Men, generally any contradictions are resolved on the spot. ”

"You're prejudiced." Qu Xiaorou and Bai He retorted in unison.

Fu Jinghuai sat down silently next to him with a tea bowl.

Bai Ziyi looked at his fiancée, who had only been engaged for a few days, and his own sister, hesitated for a while, but still nodded and admitted defeat, saying that he was too subjective, men and women were equal, and he shouldn't have said that.

Qu Xiaorou's sharp eyes softened.

Talking and laughing, Bai He wiped her hands and got up, saying that she had something to find the third aunt and let them chat first.
