Chapter Seventy-Two
Xu Mingqian drove the car and waited downstairs, looking at the people who came out, he hurriedly greeted him from the car, "Brother Bai, hello classmate Xia, hello aunt, hello uncle." ”
No one needs to introduce him, he greeted him with great eyesight, but he didn't want to provoke a roll of the eyes of Big Guy He.
Xu Mingqian scratched his head in confusion, thinking to himself what was going on? Am I saying the wrong thing?
He Bai opened the back door and let Xia Ping sit in, and then followed himself into the car, while Luo Xunqiu got into the car from the other side.
Song Cheng, who was a step late, gritted his teeth, and could only sit in the passenger seat with a black face, thinking that this little Wang Ba Lamb was really not sensible at all, and he had no virtue of respecting the old and loving the young.
Xu Mingqian saw that the atmosphere between several people was not quite right, and he didn't say a word about driving by himself, but now there were a lot of cars on the road, and the plane was about to take off after arriving at the airport in a hurry.
Song Cheng only booked three plane tickets, and after getting them, he took Luo Xunqiu to the ticket gate, and Luo Xunqiu turned around and shouted Xia Ping.
Xia Ping pursed his lips, glanced at He Bai, hesitated for a moment and followed.
He Bai sneered, took the ticket handed by Xu Mingqian and followed.
Since it was the first time to take a plane, Xia Ping was a little panicked, and when she looked back and saw He Bai who came up, her heart suddenly settled down, and her pace slowed down and she smiled when he walked to her side, "Are you on a class with me?" ”
"yes, with you." He Bai held her hand and squeezed it gently, "Are you happy?" ”
"Uh-huh, happy."
After getting on the plane, He Bai deliberately changed places with someone, he sat down next to Xia Ping, and when he saw her covering her mouth and snickering, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
Xuancheng is more than 3,000 kilometers away from the capital, this kind of weather should take five hours to wait for the plane to arrive in the capital, now it is almost eight o'clock, thinking that the little daughter-in-law has not eaten dinner, after the plane took off smoothly, He Bai intimately helped her order a meal.
But after the meal arrived, Xia Ping smelled the smell and began to feel sick to her stomach, she covered her mouth and raised her head to stay away from the meal, so uncomfortable that saline leached out of the corners of her eyes.
He Bai didn't expect his little daughter-in-law to get motion sickness, he asked the stewardess to take the things away and asked her to find some motion sickness medicine.
The medicine didn't work so quickly, Xia Ping tilted his head against He Bai's shoulder after taking the medicine, and hummed quietly in his mouth, "Woo, it's uncomfortable, it's so uncomfortable." ”
He Bai knew that she was uncomfortable, so he could only help her along her back in distress, and after a while, after the effect of the medicine was exerted, she finally felt a little better before she breathed a sigh of relief, took a piece of milk from her pocket and peeled it off and handed it to her mouth, "Baby, do you want to take a piece?" ”
Xia Ping closed her eyes, her brows furrowed tightly, and after smelling the smell of milk tablets, she opened her mouth slightly and took it into her mouth unbearably.
During the period, she had no strength to hold He Bai's hand, and she blushed, and only grabbed the corner of his clothes with two hands.
He Bai sighed, grabbed her two white and tender little hands in his hands, and helped her press the acupuncture points on her hands with the appropriate force.
Luo Xunqiu's seat was only separated from the two of them by a narrow aisle, and she had discovered Xia Ping's condition early in the morning, but in this case, she had nothing to do, so she could only look this way worriedly.
Finally saw that Xia Ping was better, she breathed a sigh of relief, she wanted to change positions with He Bai, but was rejected by two men at the same time, she was stunned, so she had to whisper to He Bai to pay more attention, if there was something wrong, she should ring the bell quickly.
He Bai nodded, knowing that she also cared about her little daughter-in-law, and comforted her a few words, and promised that he would pay attention to it.
After Luo Xunqiu got a reply, he pursed his lips and sat down, glanced at Song Cheng, who was holding his hand tightly, struggled, and said angrily: "Don't let go quickly, there are so many people." ”
"It's right here, it's not okay for Lao Tzu to hold his wife's hand? We've got a certificate. Song Cheng pursed his lips and said indifferently.
After more than ten days of getting along, Luo Xunqiu also knew this person's hooligan nature, and when he saw that he really couldn't break free, he let him go.
After arriving at the capital smoothly, the time was almost as expected, Kyoto at one o'clock in the morning was still very lively, not as heavy as the snow in Xuancheng, and only a thin layer of ground was covered.
After leaving the airport, Xia Ping felt that she was alive again, she opened her mouth and took a deep breath, but she didn't want to take a breath of cold air, she was so cold that she was excited, and her nose was sore and sore.
Seeing this, He Bai hurriedly helped her pull the scarf up to cover her little face, and then gently poked her forehead, "How is it, is your body still uncomfortable, and your head is still dizzy?" ”
Xia Ping shook his head, "Don't faint, you'll be fine as soon as you get off the plane." ”
"Okay!" He Bai didn't know what kind of physique she was, and he even said that if she didn't faint, she wouldn't faint, but he was also relieved when she regained her anger.
It was too late, and a few people didn't call anyone to pick them up, but they only planned to take a taxi back, and after instructing Xu Mingqian, He Bai looked at the little daughter-in-law who was pulling the corner of his clothes, and raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong?" ”
Xia Ping bit his lip and didn't speak, but his hand kept holding on to the corner of his clothes.
He Bai sighed, he really couldn't stand her silent soft coquettish appearance, glanced at Luo Xunqiu and Song Cheng who were waiting, he lowered his head, "Is it okay for my husband to go back with you." ”
"Hmm!" Xia Ping nodded immediately, as if he would regret it a second later.
He Bai licked the corners of his dry mouth, smiled lightly, and took her hand and walked over to the two who were waiting.
"Aunt Qiu, I'll send Pingping back first." He Bai didn't wait for Luo Xunqiu to ask, he opened his mouth first.
Luo Xunqiu was stunned for a moment, looked at him and then at Xia Ping, and finally stopped at the hands of the two of them, half a sound, she nodded, "That's okay, you can help Auntie take her over, Auntie is very relieved." ”
Song Cheng crooked his mouth and let out a light sneer, looking at He Bai with a smile on his face, he was very embarrassed, this little bastard is not at ease with Lao Tzu, fuck it, that is Lao Tzu's daughter, Lao Tzu can still abuse her.
But no one knew what he thought in his heart, several people got into the car together, or as before, Song Cheng went to the passenger seat very 'happily', he looked at the provocative eyes through the rearview mirror, and his hands were itching.
arrived at the house where Xia Ping lived first, Luo Xunqiu and Song Cheng didn't stay long, and left first after a few words.
After the two left, He Bai looked inside and out a few times, and nodded with satisfaction that he didn't find any potential safety hazards.
Song Cheng's place for Xia Ping is in the second ring road, which is a small courtyard, about 100 square meters, with a living room and two main rooms side by side, as well as an ear room and a kitchen on the right side.
There was a tree planted in the small yard, and I couldn't see what it was, but all its leaves had fallen off, and only the bare branches remained, and there was a grape trellis on the side against the wall, of course, it was also bare now, and under the grape trellis was a set of stone tables and chairs, and then a few plates of flowers were placed under the eaves.
Seeing the surprise in the eyes of the little daughter-in-law, He Bai knew that she was very satisfied with this small courtyard, he touched his chin and nodded, Okay, anyway, if this person lives, it is enough, just let her like it.
After going in to help her lay out the quilt, He Bai clapped his hands and raised his eyebrows, "Baby, my husband is gone." ”
"Huh?" Xia Ping was shocked, "Do you still want to go?" ”
"It depends on the baby, the baby said to let her husband go or stay? Well? ”
Xia Ping's tone of teasing him made her face red, and she snorted and turned around, "If you want to go, you can leave, ask me what to do." ”
He Bai chuckled and stepped forward to take her into his arms, "Okay, don't go, husband, okay with you?" ”
Xia Ping pouted and ignored him.
He Bai chuckled, looked at her slightly bulging face, and couldn't help poking, but suddenly heard a cooing sound coming from her stomach.
He was stunned for a moment, and then patted his head, why did he forget that his little daughter-in-law hadn't woken up for so long, she really deserved to be beaten.
Xia Ping didn't notice his movements, she was clutching her stomach, her little face was red and about to drip blood, and she froze in place with her back to He Bai.
He Bai picked her up and put her on the kang, this kind of old house is generally pan kang, warm in winter and cool in summer, very comfortable.
Nodding her red little nose, He Bai chuckled, "My husband is the worst, I forgot that the baby is still hungry, and I am waiting at home, and my husband will buy you food, um!" ”
Hearing that he was going out, Xia Ping hurriedly grabbed his hand and shook his head vigorously, "Don't." ”
"Sticky leprechaun." Peck her lightly on the face, He Bai asked softly, "That baby is going with her husband?" ”
Xia Ping thought for a moment and nodded.
He Bai laughed out loud, helped her put on the scarf and gloves, and then carried the person out in the posture of holding the child.
When He Bai just came back, he saw that there were still a few small shops selling supper at the mouth of the alley, and he walked in with Xia Ping in his arms and a store that looked pretty good.
The store is very small, with only five or six tables, and there are still two tables of customers in the store at this time, and after ordering two bowls of noodles, the two of them sit in the corner position.
The boss is an elderly old lady, she brought over two bowls of noodles with a smile in Beijing, and when she saw Xia Ping with a small face, she was stunned at first, and then said a few words to He Bai.
After the old lady left, Xia Ping asked, "What did the old lady just tell you?" ”
"Said that your husband is very handsome, and said that if she is fifty years younger, she will definitely chase your husband." He Bai stared at her and replied seriously.
"Isn't it...," Xia Ping looked at him suspiciously, "She seemed to have just glanced at me before she told you something, right?" ”
"Oh, that..."He Bai put the noodles to her mouth, and only after watching her eat them did she lazily speak, "She looked at you because she felt that you were blessed, after all, such an excellent person as Lao Tzu was given by you." ”
Xia Ping had a black face, grabbed the chopsticks angrily, ignored him, and ate by himself.
He Bai smiled in his eyes, what he just said was true, but he just reversed the protagonist.
Lazily leaning against the wall, staring at her sunken face when she sucked noodles, reaching out and poking from time to time, causing her to glare frequently, shrugging her shoulders like a scoundrel, He Bai also hurriedly ate his share of noodles.
After eating, seeing that there was still more than half of her bowl left, He Bai reached out and scratched her little nose, pulled the bowl over and finished eating.
As usual, she walked back with someone in her arms, and when she was warmed up after entering the house, Xia Ping was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, but she thought that she hadn't taken a bath yet, so she struggled into the bath.
The bath was specially built by Song Cheng, just in the room, all the supplies in it are complete, although they are still new, but Xia Ping still chooses to use the things he brought.
She hugged her pajamas and went into the bath, He Bai leaned on the head of the bed with Erlang's legs crossed, seeing that the pointer was already pointing to four o'clock, he raised his eyebrows, thinking that his little daughter-in-law could survive today.
Xia Ping, who was quite able to survive, took a quick shower, she swore that this was the fastest bath she had ever taken, and when she got dressed and walked out, her steps were already vain, she squinted and climbed onto the bed, and fell asleep with her head on the pillow.
He Bai's black face, who was completely ignored, wanted to scoop people up and beat her, but seeing the slight cyan under her eyes, she was still distressed, carefully helped her cover the quilt, and sat for a while to make sure that she had slept thoroughly before opening the door and walking out.
When Xia Ping woke up, it was already noon, she looked to the side, the pillow was still bulging, it didn't look like someone had slept on it, pursed her mouth, and she slowly got up.
After cleaning herself up, she pushed open the door, and when she opened the door, she saw Luo Xunqiu sitting in the living room, she was stunned, and then spoke softly, "Mom." ”
Luo Xunqiu smiled, stepped forward and took her hand, looked at her face carefully, and knew that she was resting well when she looked at the ruddy and ruddy one.
"Your Uncle Song has something to do, so we will cook and eat together today, and my mother will buy a few fritters, and you will eat two mouthfuls to cushion your stomach." He pointed in the direction of the kitchen again, "He just asked someone to bring some food, see that you have lost weight in the past few days, and wait for your mother to stew a black chicken for you to make up for it." ”
Xia Ping nodded obediently and was silent, she hesitated to speak: "Mom, what does he do?" ”
Luo Xunqiu glanced at her and scolded with a smile, "You girl, why is he calling him, you should be called Uncle Song, but you are not allowed to be rude." ”
"Actually, my mother doesn't know what he does, I seem to have heard him say a few words, it seems to be a contractor."
Xia Ping nodded, and said in his heart that it was quite attached to his image, "I haven't asked you before, how is Uncle Song's family, is his family easy to get along with?" ”
Luo Xunqiu sighed, touched her daughter's head, and pulled her to sit down, "It's good for you to talk about it in front of your mother, you can't ask these questions in front of your Uncle Song, there is no one in his house, just him." ”
"I heard him say that when he was fourteen years old, his family was gone, and he went to the construction site to lie to people that he was eighteen years old, and let people leave him behind and start working at the foreman, and he has been doing this for more than 20 years."
Xia Ping was silent, she really didn't expect this stepfather who suddenly appeared to have such a pitiful background, and it was a long time before she spoke: "Mom, I know." I'm not going to talk nonsense in front of him. ”
"Well, it's good to remember it." Luo Xunqiu smiled, "Then you eat something first, and my mother will stew the black chicken first." ”
Seeing her mother who was not only full of energy but also had a smile on her face, Xia Ping lowered her eyes, this seemed to be the first time that her mother had shown such a smile since her father's death, right? It seems that Mom didn't smile like this when Dad was still there, she always smiled gently.
Not to mention the thousands of thoughts in Xia Ping's heart here, he said that He Bai returned to the compound in the early morning, and after sleeping for a while, he wanted to slip out when he was blocked by Mrs. He, who was waiting early.
The older the old lady gets, the more difficult her temperament becomes, and she can't be quiet until He Bai shakes out the fact that her granddaughter-in-law has arrived in the capital.
Glancing at the grandson of the old god, the old lady coughed and asked him, "Are you serious?" My future delicate granddaughter-in-law is really here, you can't fool my wife. ”
"Grandma, when I don't say it, you have to say it, you don't believe it, you don't mean to have fun." He Bai leaned on the sofa, and the whole person was lazy.
"If you don't sit upright, your grandfather will come back with the dog later, and when he sees you so lazy, he won't let the dog bite you." Mrs. He reached out and patted her grandson's leg and scolded softly.
Speaking of dogs, the corners of He Bai's mouth couldn't help but pull, the dog raised by the old man in the family was a shame in his life, and I don't know why, the seven dogs in the family didn't treat him like that, anyway, he didn't remember being chased by them a few times.
Hit it, they are the old man's baby, if it is broken, I am afraid that the old man will have a heart attack, don't fight, I hate them in my heart when I see them, if I don't finally tell the old man that I can't let them out when I am at home, maybe I can't help but fight the risk of the old man having a heart attack and take them to the nest.
Listening to the barking of dogs in the distance, He Bai hurriedly put away his lazy and lazy attitude, and sat upright.
Within a few minutes, there was a dog barking in the yard, and He Bai's heart tightened, until he heard the old man ask someone to take him back to the backyard.
The old lady looked at her grandson and pouted, yes, the old man's seven gourd babies have completely become the shadow of the precious grandson.
That's right, the seven gourd babies are the seven dogs of Old Man He, named according to the color of the gourd baby.
He Shouguo patted the dust on his body and walked in, and when he saw his grandson sitting on the sofa, he swept around the living room, and then straightened his face, didn't this little bastard say that he would bring his daughter-in-law back? What about people? Isn't Mo still sleeping?
He sat next to Mrs. He, took a sip of the tea she handed over, and looked at He Bai with a solemn face, "I see that you haven't exercised well during this time, look at your hands, the calluses have degenerated." ”
He Bai put his hand on his knees and coughed uncomfortably, he really didn't exercise well during this time, but this is not the main reason for getting old and thin, the main reason is that the little daughter-in-law thinks his hands are thick, and she will help him apply hand cream every day before going to bed, which causes the calluses on his hands to degenerate.
Seeing that his grandson didn't speak, Old Man He snorted heavily, "Don't go anywhere these days, I'll let someone take you to exercise well later, and you have to pick up these things that have fallen." ”
As soon as she heard that her baby grandson was going to be taken to exercise, the old lady was anxious, the granddaughter-in-law had arrived at the door, if the grandson was taken away, who would bring the granddaughter-in-law into the door?
She tugged at the old man's clothes and whispered a few words close to his ear.
The old man's expression was slightly sluggish, and then he regained his expression, he held the fish in his hand and coughed in disguise, "What, this exercise can't be achieved all the time, so let's do it, you take two hours a day and follow your Uncle Zhong to exercise, and the rest of the time will be distributed by yourself." ”
