"Yeah! It's you!"
Now that the words were out, there was no way to withdraw them. He Shiwen simply walked towards Bai Ying and handed her a note, "Approve my leave!"
"What are you taking leave for?"
Bai Ying asked directly, "Are you going to the county town to see my second brother off?"
He Shiwen's face flushed red as she stumbled, "...Yes! So what if it is!"
Bai Ying gave a thumbs-up to praise He Shiwen's bravery, "Okay, sister-in-law, I'll approve it for you right away."
As he spoke, Bai Ying reached out to take the note and wrote his name on it in a flamboyant style.
“Hey.”
Bai Ying handed it over.
Ever since Bai Ying called out the words "Second Sister-in-law", He Shiwen's expression became strange. It took her a long time to come back to her senses. She snatched the note from Bai Ying's hand and angrily retorted, "Who is your Second Sister-in-law? Don't talk nonsense. We are clearly rivals in love!"
"Really?"
Bai Ying blinked and pretended to be confused, "Then why did you come all the way to see my second brother off?"
"He, he is my savior after all! Apart from that, I have no other intentions, really not!" At the end, He Shiwen's tone became more and more firm, and she nodded to herself in agreement.
I don’t know whether others believe it or not, but He Shiwen herself believes it.
"All right."
Bai Ying naturally saw through He Shiwen's duplicity and spread her hands, saying, "Then you'd better deal with your bad peach blossom as soon as possible. Playing two women at the same time is not what a competitor should do. Um... Although Shen Ao's boat doesn't intend to take you."
"……snort!"
He Shiwen didn't know whether she had nothing to say or was afraid that Bai Ying would point out her thoughts that she herself didn't know about, so she ran away like a flash.
Seeing this, Bai Ying couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.
He Shiwen's personality is really similar to that of the second brother. I don't know if these two can end up together.
"Bai Ying, what did you just say?"
At this moment, Hou Yiming's voice rang out from behind him. He frowned and asked, "He Shiwen asked for leave to see your second brother off? What's their relationship?"
"I don't know either. Well, I'm leaving now, so don't bother with anything else."
Bai Ying smiled at Hou Yiming and said that it was not appropriate to tell anyone about it since the matter had not been decided yet.
After packing up, Bai Ying said goodbye to Hou Yiming and left the infirmary.
In the infirmary.
Hou Yiming stared at the door, his brows furrowed and his face long, not knowing what he was thinking about.
Family compound.
Upon learning that Bai Ying had returned from the hospital, the enthusiastic Tian Xiuli brought over a basket of freshly picked beans. "You haven't been home for a few days, and you certainly haven't had time to buy vegetables since you just came back today. These are the beans I planted in the yard. You can eat them first, and I'll go to the commune with you to buy vegetables tomorrow."
"Thank you so much! Sister Xiu Li, you are so thoughtful."
Bai Ying was quite surprised. She remembered that there were still some supplementary foods at home, so she thought about going back to the house to pack them into a basket and then returning them to Tian Xiu Li. This way, they would give and take, which was what neighbors should do!
"Wait a moment, I'll go into the house and empty the basket and give it back to you."
“No, no.”
Tian Xiuli seemed to have guessed Bai Ying's plan long ago and waved her hand quickly, "I have to go back to cook. Just return the basket to me after you buy the groceries tomorrow."
After saying that, Tian Xiuli went back to her yard.
After a while, Jiahui also came out of Tian Xiuli's house. She had been playing with Yang Sheng in the afternoon. It was almost evening now, and she was afraid of running into Yang Mingwu on her way home, so she quickly said goodbye to Yang Sheng and went home.
"Auntie, I'll help you pick the vegetables!" Jiahui took the initiative to bring out two stools from the house, "One for you, one for me."
"Our Jiahui really loves her aunt."
Looking at Jiahui's childish little face, Bai Ying liked her more and more, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch Jiahui's cheek.
A thought suddenly came to my mind——
If she and Shen Ao had a daughter, would she be as cute as Jiahui?
Hmm...will he look like Chen Ao? Or like her? Or both?
Bai Ying's thoughts couldn't help but drift away, until the sudden sound of footsteps at the door brought her back to her senses.
When I looked up, I saw Shen Ao coming back from get off work.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Bai Ying standing in the yard, Shen Ao asked subconsciously.
Bai Ying blushed slightly, as if she had been caught. She coughed lightly and said, "Hey, Sister Xiuli sent some beans. How about we have some stewed beans tonight?"
“Bean stew with beans?”
Shen Ao raised his eyebrows. What kind of dish is this?
Bai Ying hesitated and said, "We're out of meat at home. I'll go buy some tomorrow."
"Okay, I'm not picky."
Shen Ao nodded and went into the house to change clothes.
Soon, after taking off his coat, he came out again, and did not forget to say to Jiahui who was going to help pick vegetables: "Jiahui will go to school tomorrow, go back to your room and read, you are not needed here."
"Um...ok uncle."
Jiahui blinked and looked at Bai Ying and Shen Ao sitting side by side. She inexplicably remembered the advice her father gave her before the commune, telling her to try not to delay her aunt and uncle from getting along, otherwise it would be her fault if her aunt and uncle couldn't have children in the future.
Although Jiahui didn't know what this matter had to do with her, she still listened to Bai Hongbing's words sensibly and quickly left, leaving space for Bai Ying and Shen Ao to be together.
At this time, only Bai Ying and Shen Ao were left in the yard.
As the sun sets, the orange-red sunset glow in the sky spreads like a burning flame, coating the two people with a layer of brilliant golden light.
They sat side by side on a small bench, the light of the setting sun stretched their shadows long, and a painting was outlined with just a few strokes.
