Chapter 7: Returning Home to Recuperate
"It's a big deal, I'll save up and buy a few sets of storefronts for Xiao Nier in the city, anyway, I can ensure that she will eat and drink for the rest of her life."
It's not impossible for him to support him for the rest of his life if he doesn't go to work.
Bai Ma stared at him casually and slapped him a few times.
"You can pull it down, is your daughter the kind of character who eats and waits for death? I'm telling you, hurry up and find a way to heal your daughter's hand, or I'll be done with you. β
She was so distressed when she saw that her daughter could only eat with her left hand now, could she only use one hand for the rest of her life?
Dad Bai covered his arms in fear, so it was too late for him to change his career to study medicine now.
The next day, Bai Xu followed his parents on the high-speed train home.
M City has a direct high-speed rail from Yangcheng Anxian County, Baixu's hometown, two hours, which is not very far.
But when they get out of the high-speed rail station, they have to cross a square to the passenger station and take a two-hour bus ride before they can get to the entrance of the village.
Bai Xu's hometown is in a ravine, although it is remote, but the traffic is still very convenient, because there is a tourist area on the hill next door, they also follow the car in this ravine, and occasionally people come to their village to collect wind and sketch.
In front of me was a row of rolling mountains, the tops of which were shrouded in clouds and mist, but there was not a trace of chill.
Bai Xu looked at the smooth gravel road in front of her, which seemed to be very different from the muddy path in her memory.
What a change.
Bai Dad carried her suitcase, Bai Ma carried her computer bag, and the three of them waited at the intersection for a while, and one or two small tricycles carrying goods swayed over.
The intersection was still half an hour away from their village, and Bai's father felt sorry for Bai Xu and directly called his younger brother to pick them up.
"Yo, the college students from our village are back." The second uncle of Bai Xu flicked his tail with a brilliant drift and parked the car in front of them.
Bai Fu had a sweet mouth, and when he saw someone, he called out first, "Second uncle, I haven't seen you for a long time, why are you getting more and more handsome." β
Second Uncle Bai was rarely shy, glanced at his brother, got out of the car and took the cigarette in his hand, and put Bai Su's luggage first.
"Yes, your little girl's mouth, keep it for it and talk about it, get in the car, your second aunt has already cooked the meal."
Bai Ma shook her head funny, pulled Bai Xu to sit on the small three wheels, and the three of them sat in the back with the cushion and two suitcases, which was a little crowded.
Bai Xu felt the fresh smell in the air, stretched his waist, said hello to his long-lost hometown, and looked left and right excitedly.
But after swaying for a few minutes, Bai Fu wanted to vomit a little.
"Dad, why don't you let the second uncle drive your car to pick us up?"
She seems to be a little unable to withstand the enthusiasm of the little three wheels.
She was dizzy.
Dad Bai glanced at her worriedly, opened the thermos cup and let her drink saliva, and then complained in a low voice.
"Driving? Your second uncle hasn't got a certificate yet, and it's been more than ten years since he took the test, and now no driving school dares to accept him. β
It's good enough to be able to drive a tricycle.
I guess I won't want to get a driver's license in my life.
Bai Xu pursed the corners of his mouth and chuckled.
All right.
After Dad Bai finished speaking, he turned his head and patted his brother's shoulder, showing his eldest brother's momentum, "I said second, can you drive steadily, your niece and daughter are going to vomit." β
He's used to dangling on weekdays, but his daughter can't.
Second Uncle Bai bit the butt of his cigarette, glanced back at his white little face, and slowed down helplessly.
"Why do you want to vomit? It's coming, it's coming.
Little Nier, hold on, and you'll be home soon. β
He naturally knows his niece Jin Gui, but he can't climb the turtle, mainly because he usually focuses on delivery and hasn't considered these problems.
The Bai family lives in Shangwan Village, Daqi Mountain, and the second uncle Bai lives in Xiawan Village, and the distance between the two families is about ten minutes, so it is faster to drive.
When she came to the door of Second Uncle Bai's house, Bai Ma helped Bai Xu get out of the car, "Slow down, slow down." β
"It's fine." Bai Xu shook his head and jumped directly from the car.
She turned her head to look at the small bungalow in front of her, which was still familiar in her memory.
There are a lot of luxuriant moon flowers planted at the door, the flower bones have already jumped up, Bai Fu looked around, the surrounding houses are sparsely spaced, and there are several chimneys with white smoke.
After a few glances, she followed her second uncle's ass into the gate.
"Woohoo!" The big yellow dog sleeping in the corner suddenly struggled to bark, Second Uncle Bai scolded twice, and it lay on the ground in a circle with its tail between its legs, looking at them pitifully with its eyes open.
There was the sound of ping-pong stir-fry in the kitchen, and the fragrance came, and Bai Xu suddenly drooled.
In the clean and tidy courtyard, there is a small round table, and the dishes and chopsticks are all arranged, as if waiting for the guests to be served.
"Daughter-in-law!" Second Uncle Bai shouted in the stove room, asking the three members of the Bai family to sit casually, and he went in to help.
A head poked out of the window in surprise, "Back?" β
Second Aunt Bai, who was plump and smiling with a smile on her face, walked out quickly with a shovel and said a few hellos.
"Big brother and sister-in-law, Xiaobai, you have finally arrived, hurry up, wash your hands and eat."
"Second aunt!" Bai Xu smiled at her, and called out in a crisp voice.
Aunt Bai is very rare to Bai Su, she has no daughter, and her son is a wooden stake, she likes Bai Su when she is a child, and Bai Su has also drunk her milk.
She threw the shovel to Second Uncle Bai, walked quickly to Bai Xu's side, and stared at her again and again.
"Oh, Xiaobai, it's really getting more and more beautiful, the big city is good, look at our little Nier, this skin is almost tender."
"Second aunt, that's such an exaggeration as you said." Bai Su couldn't cry or laugh, hugged Aunt Bai and said softly, "I smeared skin care products, but I also brought you a set, and I'll give it to you after dinner." β
Second Aunt Bai hurriedly waved her hand to refuse, and pulled Bai Su to sit down.
"No, no, what skin care products do you use for this old face of the second aunt, don't waste money, sit down quickly."
She just praised her little Nier, but she didn't want anything from her.
Second Aunt Bai said, and hurriedly smiled and went to the kitchen to bring out the dishes.
As soon as the sumptuous dish is served, Bai Fu can't wait.
Everyone sat down, and Dad Bai took the wine poured by Second Uncle Bai.
"Second, what about Hongyu? Why don't you come back for dinner? β
Bai Xu also looked at her second uncle, Bai Hongyu is her second uncle's eldest son, her cousin, although he is not good at studying, he has a good character, and he has been planting fruit trees at home since graduating from vocational school.
Second Uncle Bai took a sip of the small wine that Bai Su brought back, the expression on his cool face was about to fly, he shook his head, pointed to the other side, and said indifferently.
"Hey, the flower garden has been a little busy lately, and I have eaten at Huo's house and won't come back.
Let's eat ours, little Nier, eat it quickly, the chicken that your aunt specially killed for you will start stewing in the morning. β
Bai Xu nodded and couldn't wait to start moving his chopsticks.
They are all farmhouse dishes, homegrown, and have a very good taste, a hundred times better than the taste she eats in M City.
Woo woo, so happy that she wanted to cry.
Bai Ma picked up vegetables for Bai Xu, and Aunt Bai scooped a bowl of soup for her, Bai Xu quickly put down her chopsticks and took it with her left hand.
Second Aunt Bai frowned suspiciously, why did she use her left hand?
Maybe the young people are more strange, and Aunt Bai didn't squeak much.
The family had a happy meal, Bai Dad and Bai Second Uncle took the initiative to wash the dishes, and Bai Second Aunt brought Bai Su a bag of candy and fruit peanuts out for her to eat and play.
Bai Ma sat on a small stool and peeled melon seeds for Bai Xu, looked sideways at Aunt Bai, and started talking.
"Brother and sister, didn't you say that you were going to build a house recently? When will the construction start? β
Bai Ma took care of her two sons in the county some time ago, and she didn't care much about things in the village.
Aunt Bai listened to the crackling sound of washing dishes in the kitchen, and was a little uneasy, but she still smiled and said to her sister-in-law.
"Soon, I guess it's just a few days, didn't you just take down the land certificate? The second child is still looking for a foreman. β
When Bai Xu heard this, he immediately came to his senses.
"Second aunt, are you going to build a new house?"
She remembered that her second uncle's house had only been built for more than ten years, so why was she going to build a house again.
Second Aunt Bai nodded, and when she stood up, the little fat on her cheeks almost covered her glasses, but Bai Xu felt that she was very happy.
"No, it was built for your brother Hongyu, isn't he going to get married next year? Your sister-in-law said that there is no need to buy a house in the county town, so she will rebuild a small yard for the two of them in the village, and she is willing to live in the village. β
It's okay like this, and she also has a family to take care of, and it will be convenient for her to take her grandchildren in the future.
"Whew!" Bai Su suddenly realized, she said.
It turns out that this is the case, but it is really strange that there are still people who are willing to go to the countryside.
In the past, young people in their village who got married had to go to the county seat to buy a house, and few people were willing to live in the village.
Since the development of the scenic spot next door, the transportation has become more convenient and the situation is better.
Looking at Bai Su's gossip eyes, Second Aunt Bai happily continued to tell her.
"Your sister-in-law works as a teacher in the town, and your brother can pick up and drop off in the village, which is more convenient.
Your uncle and I also thought it was okay, so we agreed. β
She is very satisfied with this daughter-in-law, so she is happy to fulfill them.
Her two sons will live separately in the future.
Bai Xu smiled and took the melon seeds given by his mother and ate them deliciously.
Bai Dad and Second Uncle Bai washed the dishes and came out, Bai Xu was also ready to go back, she took out the skin care products prepared for Aunt Bai, and Aunt Bai said that she couldn't ask for it.
If it weren't for Bai Ma's persuasion, she would definitely not accept it.
As for the wine given to Second Uncle Bai, they had already drunk it at noon.
Second Uncle Bai rode a small three-wheeler and sent them home.
Standing at the door of his house, Bai Fu stretched his waist, staring at a row of climbing vines and roses with yellowed leaves at the door, and small wrinkles crept up his brows, "Dad, how long have you not watered?" My flowers are going to dry up. β
Dad Bai took out the key to open the door for a moment, glanced at Mama Bai, who was gradually becoming fierce, and slapped her head suddenly.
"Tsk, look at my memory, it's not dry, it's sick, it's empty, let Brother Hongyu show you."
Recently, there were too many sick livestock in Shili Eight Villages, and he didn't care much about his family.
Huo Yi, who was moving things upstairs, looked for the sound and saw a delicate and slender figure standing at the door of Bai's house.
It was just a side face, from the delicate contour lines and whiteness to the glowing bare skin, Huo Yi could associate the extraordinary features of his owner's appearance.
At this moment, the figure turned his head, and a beautiful face with both beauty and innocence fell into his eyes, and Huo Yi's heart trembled inexplicably, and he even forgot the heavy object he was holding in his hand.
That should be Uncle Bai's daughter, I've been hearing him say how beautiful his daughter is, he doesn't feel anything, but when he sees it today, he suddenly feels that all the women in his mind are eclipsed.
It's a perfect piece that has been carved by God.
And her voice is also very good, crisp and crisp, with a bit of the charm of the Jiangnan water town.
His gaze followed her into the Bai family, but his vision was gradually blocked by a few dense walnut leaves in the ditch behind his house.
Huo Yi was upset for no reason.
It turned out that he felt that it was not good to be able to see the Bai family's yard from the upstairs of his house, the distance was too close, so he specially transplanted a row of walnut trees and wanted to be a gentleman.
However, at this moment, he had a feeling that he wanted to chop the walnut tree and use it as firewood.
Bai Su glanced to the right, how did she feel that someone was staring at her just now.
"Lao Bai, you give the box to your daughter and carry it upstairs."
Bai Ma's voice interrupted Bai Su's thoughts, and she turned her head to look at her yard.
Her house is a two-story ordinary small building, which was built by Bai Dad in the year Bai Xu was born, and it looks half-old and not new, and it has been more than 20 years.
Her father is the only veterinarian in Shili Eight Village, and there is an outward faΓ§ade on the first floor that is his veterinarian shop, and there is a small door leading directly to the house, and there are all kinds of bottles and cans in the corner, and there is a smell of medicine in the air.
On the left is the veterinarian's shop, on the opposite right is the kitchen, and in the middle is the hall with tables and chairs, as well as a TV cabinet and a television set, and meals are also in the hall.
There are two other rooms on the left and right of the house, one is her parents' bedroom, and the other is her grandmother's bedroom, but her grandmother was taken to the city by her aunt, and occasionally came back for two days.
There were two other rooms next to the hall, one for her father to put the veterinary medicine, and the other for the grain.
Bai Su's room was on the second floor, above her parents' house, there was originally only one room on the second floor, and then her two younger brothers were born, and another room was built next to her.
Bai Xu's room is the largest in the house, the floor is paved with floor tiles, not to mention, the wardrobe and bed are all made by Bai Dad's craftsmen.
Pushing open the door, Bai Dad put down the suitcase and began to help Bai Xu clean up the bedding.
"Dad, I'll just do it myself." Bai Fu touched his head and hurriedly stopped it.
Dad Bai waved his hand and skillfully took the quilt out of the closet, "You just stand aside and open the window." β
The quilt was so heavy, if he tired her hands, he wouldn't have to die of distress.
Bai Xu didn't say much, nodded, and went to open the two windows in the room.
One was to her own plot outside her house, where her desk was too, and she could see most of the village when she looked up, and the other was a mountainous area, but when she opened it, it was full of green walnut leaves, all sticking out of the window.
"Dad, when did you plant the walnut tree? Stinky. Bai Su wondered, shouldn't it be an open space on her side?
She stretched out her head to take a look, and the row of walnut trees, with lush branches and leaves, was growing happily.
Bai Ma came in with a basin of water, heard Bai Xu's question, and replied loudly.
"Oh, you said this, Huo Yi next door transplanted it and gave it to our family."
Huo Yi said that the two families were close to each other, and he was afraid that their privacy would be affected, so he simply planted a row of trees to block it.
"The walnuts I sent you last year are from these trees, and they taste good."
I heard that it is still a new breed.
