Chapter 17 Bai Yupeng
When Li Zhongxin and Bai Yunpeng returned to the Bai family, Bai Yunpeng's mother Wang Fengxia had already stewed the fish and was just waiting for Bai Yunpeng and Li Zhongxin to come back with wine.
Wang Fengxia put a small kang table (a small table that can be placed on the kang with four legs) in the outhouse, used a white porcelain two large bowls to hold a piece of fish tail, and took a big bowl with a broken hole to hold half a bowl of cabbage stewed potatoes, and after telling Bai Yunpeng a few words, he turned around and went into the house to accompany Bai Fengyi to eat.
Li Zhongxin was very speechless about this custom handed down from the sixties and seventies, and when there were guests, the children did not eat at the table, but had to eat in the outhouse or in the kitchen.
In the future, children are little ancestors, even if there are important guests, children will eat at the same table with adults.
But what! At this time, Li Zhongxin couldn't say anything, in the place of Zhubantun, it was already a matter of great face to be able to leave you to eat at home, not to mention that Zhubantun has always been such a custom.
Bai Yunpeng's younger brother Bai Yupeng is one year younger than Bai Yunpeng, and at this time he has come back from the outside crazy, and he doesn't say hello, he sits next to Bai Yunpeng and shouts to eat.
Li Zhongxin was happy at first sight, this kid is simply Bai Yunpeng, the two brothers look very similar, and at any time, you can see at a glance that these are the two brothers.
However, Li Zhongxin clearly remembers that Bai Yupeng, a little guy, has been spoiled by his family since he was a child, far worse than his brother, and when he graduated from high school, he stabbed others because of some reasons that touched the object, and was sentenced to ten years in prison.
At that time, Bai Yunpeng was the fuel squad leader of the Jiangcheng Power Plant, he helped his younger brother find a job, and married his parents who pooled money for his younger brother to buy a house.
Li Zhongxin quietly kept this matter in his heart, and was ready to go home and write it down in his precious notebook, at that time, he was ready to help Bai Yunpeng, at least not let Bai Yupeng be sentenced for that kind of thing.
"This is your brother's classmate, your name is Brother Faithful, say hello to your Brother Faithful, and then go wash your hands." Bai Yunpeng saw that his younger brother Bai Yupeng's hands were not washed, so he sat down beside him, and immediately said with a wrenched face.
Bai Yunpeng usually doesn't show his majesty with his younger brother when he is at home, but now that Li Zhongxin is here, he naturally wants to show his brother's authority.
Bai Yupeng glanced at Bai Yunpeng extremely unhappily, called Brother Zhongxin with a calm face, then got up and ran to the faucet, first drank a few sips of cold water with a bang, and then simply washed his hands twice and returned to the table.
As the elder brother, Bai Yunpeng saw that his younger brother was so obedient, and immediately became happy, happily served Bai Yupeng a meal and brought him chopsticks.
At this time, there are no household appliances such as rice cookers at home, so you can only use a large pot or a stew pot to steam and cook meals.
At this time, I just want to eat rice and white noodles every day, and if I want to eat white flour steamed buns every day, I have to have flour, after all, it is not easy for most people to even eat enough.
Recently, Li Zhongxin has always eaten fish, and he has no interest in this kind of carp tail that weighs more than a pound and has more spines on his body, so he holds a bowl and specially picks cabbage and stews potatoes.
Not to mention, the cabbage stewed potatoes made by Bai Yunpeng's mother have two different flavors from the cabbage stewed potatoes made by his grandmother, and this lighter feeling is more in line with Li Zhongxin's taste.
Bai Yunpeng saw that Li Zhongxin only ate cabbage and potatoes, so he immediately sandwiched a large piece of fish meat for Li Zhongxin, and said very dissatisfied: "Zhongxin, what kind of outsider are you pretending to be when you come to my house?" Catch up with the good food today, if you pretend to be fake, I will be unhappy. Students are not allowed to see each other. ”
Bai Yunpeng was very happy that his classmates came to the house as guests, he just wanted to find good things to greet his classmates on weekdays, but he couldn't find them, but today the third uncle brought two fish, and he had to let Li Zhongxin eat some.
Li Zhongxin's old face was red, no, it should be said that his face was red, what he didn't want to eat, people were reluctant to eat, and when the baby was given to him, he really couldn't say anything.
Li Zhongxin turned his head quite embarrassed, not looking at Bai Yunpeng's eyes, and the next moment, he was surprised to see that Bai Yupeng's two smart big eyes had been staring at him, as if with a hostile gaze, and when he saw his gaze passing, he immediately stopped looking at him, lowered his head and ate sorghum rice.
He was a little puzzled, this was the first time he had seen Bai Yunpeng's younger brother today, why did he still seem to have an enmity with me?
Looking at the fish on the sorghum rice in his bowl, Li Zhongxin suddenly realized.
The Bai family is not as good as his own family, in recent times, Wang Bo has been able to catch a lot of big fish every day, and when he goes to the city to sell fish every day, he will send Dong Zhiguo to send a big fish to his home, and the family basically keeps fishing.
However, the Bai family was originally poor, and it is estimated that they will not be able to see such a meat thing for a long time, at this time, Bai Yunpeng sandwiched a large piece of fish meat for him, Bai Yupeng naturally had less opportunity to eat more fish, and in his heart, he would think that his brother Bai Yunpeng was better to him than his own brother, so he would naturally be hostile to him.
A fishtail is not big in the first place, and the piece that Bai Yunpeng sandwiched for him should be the best piece of meat, thinking of this, Li Zhongxin couldn't help but sigh.
wanted to give the fish clip in the bowl to Bai Yupeng, but he was worried that Bai Yunpeng would be unhappy, that was not to give Bai Yunpeng face.
If he eats it like this, looking at Bai Yupeng's expression, he is really embarrassed.
As an adult-minded, Li Zhongxin suddenly felt a dilemma.
Suddenly, Li Zhongxin remembered the three pieces of fruit candy that Bai Yunpeng gave him before, he put his right hand in his pocket, quickly touched the three pieces of candy, and said while handing them over: "Erpeng, I have a toothache in the past few days and can't eat sugar, my three pieces of candy are for you, and when Brother Zhongxin comes over here in a few days, I will get you a big fish to eat." ”
Bai Yupeng stared at the candy in Li Zhongxin's hand with bright eyes, but he didn't take it, but looked at Bai Yunpeng, and he directly ignored what Li Zhongxin said later about getting a fish.
Even if he hears it clearly, he will also be Li Zhongxin's bragging, at this time, a fish is a precious thing, and it is also something that a child like Li Zhongxin can get.
Li Zhongxin is Bai Yunpeng's classmate, and his brother used to say that if he has a classmate or friend who comes to the house, no matter what someone gives him, he must get his consent.
After seeing Bai Yunpeng nodding, Bai Yupeng happily put the three pieces of fruit candy carefully in the pocket of his close-fitting clothes, and also fastened the buttons on the pocket, for fear that the fruit candy would fall out of his pocket.
Li Zhongxin and the three of them did not drink in the outhouse, and they were all children, and they soon had lunch.
After lunch, Bai Yupeng did not go out to play crazy, but stayed at home to play with Bai Yunpeng and Li Zhongxin.
Li Zhongxin gave him candy, and he naturally classified Li Zhongxin as a good person, and the three children played with human avatars very happily.
It's just that Li Zhongxin whispered to Bai Yupeng when he was about to leave.
