Chapter Sixty-Nine: Returning Home to Visit Family

87_87057 Back in the private space, Bai Qi looked up at the wall clock on the wall, and it was only a few minutes since he entered the training space.

This wall clock was set to the same time as reality by Bai Qi.

Looking at this wall clock, Bai Qi suddenly had an uncontrollable longing for his parents, for others, only a few minutes have passed, but for Bai Qi, two years have really passed!

He couldn't and didn't want to suppress his thoughts, returned to the real world, hastily packed a backpack, left the community, and went straight to the long-distance station.

Bai Qi's hometown is deep in the Qinling Mountains in the south of the Guanzhong Plain, not too far from the provincial capital Xi'an, but the mountain road is difficult, especially from the county seat to the township, and then from the township to the village The road is very difficult to walk, and it is already evening when Bai Qi goes home.

Sitting in the only minivan in the village that ran passenger transport, Bai Qi saw his parents waiting on the side of the road from a distance.

After getting out of the car, my mother stepped forward, took the small backpack in Bai Qi's hand, and said: "I heard that you are coming back in the morning, you went up the mountain to pick more than a pound of chestnut tree mushrooms, I burned a piece of bacon for you, and boiled a little rooster, your brother-in-law and sister have already come, you have a good drink in the evening." ”

The father took the small backpack from the mother's hand and complained: "Why did you just leave and come back, didn't you say that you just got a job?" Why do you take a leave of absence when you just go to work? ”

When the mother heard this, she immediately didn't like to hear it, and turned around and kicked her father fiercely, and when the father saw that the mother was unhappy, he immediately shut up.

Bai Qi resisted the urge to hug his parents, smiled, turned his head and handed the van driver thirty yuan, and said, "Si'er, I'll leave the day after tomorrow, you come up to pick me up." ”

The driver was a young man with a sharp-beaked monkey cheek and a smart eye, he took the money and said with a smooth smile: "Brother Qi commanded, Xiao Si will not forget it, and he will pick you up early the day after tomorrow." ”

Bai Qi's family is in the four groups in the deepest part of this village, and the four children's families are in the third group, and generally the people in the fourth group want to take his car, they have to walk seven or eight miles to the three groups of old locust trees and wait.

Because there are few people in the village, Si'er only runs one round trip a day, leaving at six o'clock in the morning and coming back at six o'clock in the evening, and has to walk to the three groups of old locust trees to take the car.

When the mother saw that Bai Qi gave an extra ten yuan, she was immediately distressed, stepped forward and snatched the money back, and scolded: "You black-hearted four children, you Brother Qi are also pitted, come up to pick up someone and you will still collect money, Xiao Qi, don't take his car, go back and let your brother-in-law send you." ”

Bai Qi laughed and gave Si'er another twenty yuan for the car, he knew that this Si'er was a master who didn't see money and six relatives didn't recognize him, so he could only secretly glance at him, saying that he would make up the money for him to pick up people later.

Si'er was very clever and understood Bai Qi's eyes. He had gone to school with Bai Qi, and knew that Bai Qi was not a stingy person, so he nodded happily and said, "Auntie, look at what you said, how can I make Brother Qi's money?" I just didn't see Brother Qi clearly, don't worry, I'll come up the morning after tomorrow. ”

Bai Qi turned around and said to the mother who still wanted to teach the fourth child: "Mom, you can't always let your brother-in-law send it, your brother-in-law is busy." ”

As he spoke, Bai Qi put his arms around his parents' shoulders and walked towards the path leading to his yard.

Before he entered the yard, Bai Qi smelled the aroma of chicken from afar.

The chicken raised at home is a native chicken that eats grain, grass roots, and insects, first stir-fried slowly with a simmer, and then poured on the liquor to ignite, stir-fried on high heat, and finally simmered on low heat for more than an hour, the taste, Bai Qi has never eaten outside, this boiled chicken is the mother's best reserved dish, and it is a practice passed down from the grandmother's hands.

Bai Qi snorted and was about to enter the yard, when he saw his brother-in-law and sister walking far away on another path, the brother-in-law was holding two pheasants in his left hand and a bottle of wine in his right hand, and his sister was holding his niece in her arms.

Bai Qi and his parents stood at the gate of the courtyard and waited for their brother-in-law and sister to come over.

The brother-in-law shook the wine bottle and pheasant in his hand to Bai Qi from afar, and said with a smile: "Xiao Qi came back just in time, yesterday they and the army beat a few pheasants in Laohegou, let your sister boil up in a while, and the three of us have a good drink." ”

My sister kicked her brother-in-law behind her and scolded, "You know how to drink." ”

After scolding her brother-in-law, her sister asked Bai Qi, "Didn't you just get a job?" Why are you back again, today is not the weekend, you just asked for leave from work, and you are not afraid that the leader will not treat you? ”

Listening to his sister's words, Bai Qi's heart moved, in the space, a little survival point can be exchanged for hundreds of dollars, but this money is of unknown origin in reality, and it is not only possible to cause trouble if it is taken out suddenly, but also to frighten the family, why not find something to launder the money?

Thinking of this, Bai Qi followed his sister's words and said: "I used to know a friend when I was working, he had money at home, wanted to do something, and felt that I was reliable, he found me a few days ago, saying that he was paying, I was looking for projects, contributing, cooperating to do something, counting me as two percent of the shares, I thought, working for others, it is better to do something by myself, that friend is also a reliable person, so he agreed, and the new job has been resigned." ”

When my sister heard this, she thought that this was a good thing, and she was worried that her brother had been deceived, so she said, "This sounds good, but you have to be more careful and don't be deceived." ”

The brother-in-law interjected: "your own heart, Xiao Qi still needs you to worry about things?" ”

When my sister heard that it made sense, she became even happier.

When my parents heard my sister and brother-in-law say this, they also became happy.

Everyone talked and laughed and entered the house, and the mother brought the boiled chicken to the table, and went back to the kitchen with her sister to clean up the two pheasants.

Bai Qi sat down at the dinner table with his father and brother-in-law, and his brother-in-law couldn't wait to open the wine bottle, Bai Qi took his hand and said, "I brought back two bottles of good wine, you can taste it." ”

Say, he took the backpack and took out two bottles of Moutai from it.

When Bai Qi bought wine for the instructors, he chose some good wines, of course, Chinese liquor, but unfortunately the instructors were not interested in Chinese liquor.

When my brother-in-law saw Moutai, his eyes lit up and he said: "I'll try it, there are many fake Moutai now, when I was in the army before, one of my comrades-in-arms was from Moutai Town, and this fake Moutai can't fool me." ”

Bai Qixin said: "There shouldn't be a fake bar in this space." He smiled and handed the bottle to his brother-in-law and said, "My wine is eighty percent real." ”

The brother-in-law took the bottle, unscrewed the cap, and while pouring himself wine, he sniffed and said, "That's right, that's right, that's the smell." ”

The brother-in-law took a small sip, frowned and savored it, and after a moment there was a puzzled look on his face.

Looking at the doubts on his brother-in-law's face, Bai Qi was also a little puzzled.

My brother-in-law is good at everything, just a good order of what's in the cup, but fortunately, he is not greedy for the cup and will not make mistakes because of wine, but when it comes to the ability to taste wine, many old wine worms can't compare to him.

Bai Qi didn't doubt his brother-in-law's ability to taste wine, but he didn't doubt that he would buy fakes in the space.

The brother-in-law took another sip of the wine glass, took the wine in his mouth, frowned, as if he was remembering something, and after a while, his eyes suddenly widened, swallowed the wine, and said in a somewhat incredulous voice: "This ...... This is Moutai puree wine?! ”

Bai Qi suddenly realized that this wine was not fake, but too good.

He smiled and said, "Didn't I just say that I have a friend who plans to cooperate with me in some business?" This wine was given by that friend, as for whether it is puree wine, I don't know, brother-in-law, have you drunk Moutai puree? ”

The brother-in-law nodded and said, "My comrade-in-arms from Moutai Town, Guizhou Province came back from visiting relatives one year and brought back a small bottle of puree wine, and I tasted it, and it tasted!" I haven't forgotten after all these years, you must be a puree wine, and it seems to be even better than what I drank back then. ”

Speaking of this, the brother-in-law reached out and held the wine bottle in his arms and said, "Let's keep such a good wine and drink it later." ”

Hearing what his brother-in-law said, his father was immediately unhappy, snatched the wine bottle out of his arms, and scolded: "How can you give your father a virtue, like a mouse, hiding all good things." ”

Bai Qi smiled, his father usually looks honest, but he is actually quite atmospheric, and he never hides good things, so his father, who doesn't look amazing, actually has a very high prestige in the village, and sometimes the old branch secretary doesn't have a good father when he speaks.

At this point, Bai Qi inherited his father's advantages, and he said with a smile: "Come on, this bottle has been opened, and it's not good to put it again, isn't there another bottle?" Brother-in-law, you take it back and keep it, let's drink this bottle of Moutai and drink something else. ”

The brother-in-law happily took the unopened Moutai wine, turned around and stuffed it into the cabinet in the corner, and said in his mouth: "Don't, drink this Moutai puree first, other wines can't be eaten, let's drink this bottle of Taibai first." ”

Fresh chestnut mushrooms are fragrant and tender, melt in the mouth, boiled chicken is fragrant and rotten, it is the most enjoyable to use for wine, and the three of them do not draw fists to persuade wine, and they open their cheeks, eat and drink at the same time, and after a while, the wine is hot and hot.

As soon as this person drank wine, he talked more, and after chatting, he naturally talked about Bai Qi's friend who wanted to cooperate with him in his career, and his brother-in-law said: "Xiao Qi, since your friend asked you to find a project, can you help me ask if he is interested in projects in the countryside?" ”

Bai Qi asked, "What project?" ”

Brother-in-law said: "My third uncle retired last year, I don't want to stay at home, I plan to come back to do something, he thinks that our village has good mountains and water, no pollution, and it is not too far from the provincial capital, if you can build a green farm, you can definitely make money, he came back to me to discuss, I think this thing should be done, that is, I and my third uncle have limited funds, we can only make a small fuss, if your friend is willing to invest, we can make a bigger scale." ”

As the brother-in-law was talking, my sister happened to bring the vegetables in, and when she heard his words, her face suddenly became a little unsightly, and she complained: "The more than ten acres of walnut and chestnut trees at home have just borne fruit, and it is the time of lack of labor, and you toss again, no matter how good the chickens you raise, pull them to the city, who knows if your chickens are fed with grain or feed?" Such a non-scoreless thing, you don't harm our Xiao Qi. ”

Before the brother-in-law could speak, his father's face sank, and he scolded: "Go, go, men, talk, what to say!" ”

Seeing that her father was unhappy, her sister could only pout and leave.

In dealing with housework, the brother-in-law and the father are a little similar, usually it seems that the daughter-in-law has the final say in everything at home, and has no status, but when it comes to the critical time, he immediately says the same, and it is by no means a "rake ear".

Seeing that his sister was scolded by his father, Bai Qi smiled slightly, and was about to open his mouth to agree to his brother-in-law's mention, anyway, money in reality now doesn't mean much to him, but he thought about it, it was too hasty to agree, it was doubtful, and the words came to his mouth and swallowed back, and began to think seriously about his brother-in-law's words
