Chapter 176 Zhou Sinian’s Gift
After the pain, Zhou Sinian opened his eyes, looked at the concerned eyes of the two people, and a forced smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Mingdai looked at his bloodshot eyes and was still a little worried. He hadn't lost control for a long time.
"Are you okay?"
Zhou Sinian shook his head slowly and looked at Bai Lianhua: "Can you show me a photo of my mother?"
Bai Lianhua first looked at Mingdai, who was a doctor. Only after Mingdai nodded did he enter the room.
Zhou Sinian felt sad when he saw his limping leg. Little Potato was already short, and now he was even shorter.
Ming Dai comforted him: "I'll let my uncle take a look later. It should be treatable."
Zhou Sinian smiled gratefully at Mingdai and said, "And Grandpa, I'm going to trouble you too."
Mingdai nodded, somewhat understanding what Mayor Wei said. The two of them would quarrel whenever they met, but that did not stop them from worrying about each other.
Soon, Bai Lianhua came out with the photo and handed it to Zhou Sinian.
Zhou Sinian took it in his hand and looked at it carefully.
The mother in the photo looked younger than him. She looked a little cold in the black and white photo, but Zhou Sinian knew that her voice was gentle and her embrace was warm.
"Mingdai, look, my mother is very beautiful!"
Ming Dai looked at the bright and beautiful girl in the photo and nodded seriously. She was indeed very pretty, with a different kind of beauty from Bai Lianhua.
Maybe because of the trauma he suffered in his youth, my uncle is shrouded in a gloomy and broken beauty, so beautiful that it makes people feel distressed.
The Bai Jingyi in the photo is a bright young girl, and she has not yet experienced the tragic events that followed. The liveliness and agility in her pretty face and eyes cannot be hidden.
"Of course, your mother was the campus beauty of Beijing University at that time, a real lady of high socialite, and her admirers lined up from the east to the west of the city. If the old man hadn't been blind, your sister wouldn't have died young."
Taking advantage of Zhou Sinian's unconsciousness, Mingdai expressed Mayor Wei's concerns.
That's why Bai Lianhua spoke vaguely this time, for fear of irritating him.
Sure enough, Zhou Sinian didn't understand and was fascinated by the photo.
After a while, he spoke carefully: "Do you have any more photos? Can you give me one?"
Bai Lianhua felt sad when he saw his nephew, who was so cocky when he was little, and now looks so pitiful.
But the photos are really gone. They took nothing with them when they were sent down to the countryside. This photo was sent by Brother Yan to comfort his father. He doesn't have any more.
"There are no more photos. Wait a minute, I'll find some paper and a pen and draw one for you."
Zhou Sinian nodded somewhat disappointedly and returned the photo reluctantly.
Bai Lianhua took it, put it away carefully, and ignored him. He smiled at Ming Dai and said, "Xiao Ming, this big fool has caused you a lot of trouble, right?"
Ming Dai was dazzled by his smile: "It's OK, Zhou Sinian and I are partners, he helps me and I help him, it's not a problem."
Bai Lianhua thanked Ming Dai solemnly: "This kid has been a stubborn boy since he was young. Brother Yan wrote to me and told me that if it weren't for you, this kid would have died in Hongqi Commune. I will have to shamelessly continue to trouble you. Brother Yan is under surveillance, and I can't leave the farm for the time being. I really can't take care of him."
Mingdai nodded to indicate that it was okay and asked him not to be so polite.
Zhou Sinian looked unhappy at the two people who were talking happily. He reached out and held Mingdai's face, looking at her seriously.
"Ming Dai, don't look at him, he's ugly! Look at me, I'm pretty!"
Ming Dai was speechless. She pushed his hand away and looked at Bai Lianhua embarrassedly: "That's not what he meant!"
Bai Lianhua clicked his tongue twice and rolled his eyes: "I won't argue with idiots. You know nothing now. I'll wait for you to get well soon!"
Zhou Sinian frowned and glared at him: "I'm just crazy, not stupid! You are the biggest fool!"
Bai Lianhua was stunned by his yelling, and then burst into laughter: "Hahaha! Right, right, right! You are just crazy, not stupid!!
Hahaha! Zhou Sinian, you have come to this day!
Just wait! I will draw all your stupid faces and give them to you when you get better! Do you still have the nerve to say that I look like a woman? ! "
Mingdai covered her face, now her dark history has been archived!
Zhou Sinian frowned, looking at the man who was laughing so hard that he was about to fall off the chair, but he still said stubbornly: "Anyway, I'm not stupid, you're laughing like a fool!"
Mingdai quickly stopped the topic, fearing that he would go on to say something more outrageous.
"Zhou Sinian, didn't you bring gifts for grandpa and uncle? Come on, take them out!"
Hearing this, Bai Lianhua calmed down a little and looked at him with a smile in his eyes.
Zhou Sinian was urged by Mingdai to bring over his big backpack reluctantly.
He did prepare a lot of gifts for grandpa and uncle. Grandpa was okay because he liked this old man with kind eyes.
but!
Bai Lianhua completely shattered his expectations of his uncle. Not only did he dislike him now, he even felt a little disgusted with him and didn't want to give him any gifts at all!
So he opened his backpack and took things out, saying something as he took out one.
"This is multi-flower honey. Mingdai said to drink it with warm water in the morning to nourish the body. It's for grandpa!"
"These are pecans, roasted and peeled. They are good for your brain and not irritating to your teeth. They're for Grandpa!"
"This is pork brisket, coated with honey. If you can't chew it, you can steam it and eat it. It's for grandpa!"
. . . . . .
Bai Lianhua watched him take out one thing after another from the basket on his back like magic, mostly food and daily necessities, all of which were filled with thoughtfulness.
Every time he took out something, he would emphasize that it was for grandpa. It was obvious that he had something against me and didn't want me to eat it!
Haha, as expected, he only grows in height but not in wisdom, and he is still so stingy!
Finally, Zhou Sinian took out a paper package wrapped in newspaper from the backpack, opened it carefully, and a red wool sweater was revealed.
He showed it to Bai Lianhua excitedly: "This is for grandpa! There are peaches on it. Da Zheng said peaches are good and peaches live longer!"
Bai Lianhua took it and looked at it in surprise. The dark patterns on it were indeed small peaches, which looked very exquisite.
He looked at Ming Dai in surprise: "Is Xiao Ming, the educated youth, so skillful? It must have taken a long time to weave these, right?!"
Mingdai met his surprised eyes and smiled awkwardly. She was too embarrassed to say that she could only knit plain stitch now, and she knitted very slowly. It would take a long time for her to finish knitting a sweater!
Zhou Sinian, who was standing by, snatched the sweater away unhappily and folded it carefully.
"I knitted this for Grandpa. It wasn't knitted by Mingdai. Mingdai only knows how to knit socks."
He then emphasized: "She only knows how to knit straight socks. She doesn't know how to hem them or sew them."
Ming Dai, whose true identity was exposed, said: Thank you for explaining it to me so clearly!
Bai Lianhua looked at the serious Zhou Sinian and then at the embarrassed Mingdai.
After Mingdai nodded affirmatively at him, he opened his mouth in shock!
He really couldn't imagine what a shocking scene it would be to see Zhou Sinian, with his long arms and legs, knitting a sweater with wool!
Before he could finish his surprise, Zhou Sinian took out a straw hat from his backpack.
Different from the common straw hats on the farm, this straw hat is the result of a new research by Zhou Sinian and Liu Dazheng. The material has also been upgraded. Instead of wheat straw that is prone to mold, it is made of kneaded and sun-dried vine bark, which is very tough yet soft. The hat can be folded and there is no need to worry about deformation.
Mingdai liked it very much and now wears a hat like this when she works. The only difference is that she refused Zhou Sinian to sew lace on it.
There happens to be a bright red handmade flower on this hat.
"I also made this for Grandpa!"
"You made this up?! This one too!!"
Bai Lianhua snatched the hat, looked left and right, pointed at the handmade flowers on the hat, and spoke in disbelief.
Zhou Sinian raised his chin proudly: "Yeah! Looks good, right?"
Bai Lianhua slowly put down his hat, his face flushed red, and finally he couldn't help it and burst out laughing.
"Hahaha! It looks good! Very good! Zhou Sinian, you're done! Hahaha!"
Zhou Sinian was annoyed by his laughter. He snatched the hat and stuffed it into the backpack, refusing to take out the things he had prepared for his uncle.
Bai Lianhua was really curious about what Zhou Sinian had prepared for him, so he personally apologized to Zhou Sinian and promised not to make fun of him again.
Mingdai also followed suit to persuade him. She really wanted to see how Bai Lianhua would look when he saw her gift!
After Zhou Sinian was sure that Bai Lianhua had a good attitude in admitting his mistakes, he finally took out the gift he had given him.
Same hat and sweater.
Bai Lianhua first opened the newspaper wrapped in the sweater. As soon as he opened it, he was shocked by the sweater.
Zhou Sinian looked at him expectantly: "Does it look good? Does it look good?!"
Bai Lianhua held up the sweater and squinted at it in the sun for a long time: "How should I put it, this color is quite lively."
How could it not be lively when Mingdai was hiding in the background and laughing?
Zhou Sinian found all the colored yarns in the space, wove stripes of each color, and created a sweater using the color spectrum!
Zhou Sinian did not realize Bai Lianhua's shock and thought he liked it very much, so he proudly gestured for him to look at the hat.
Mingdai rubbed her hands excitedly, the part she was most looking forward to was here!
Bai Lianhua put away the dazzling sweater and opened the newspaper wrapped in the hat.
At one glance, he nearly threw his hat away!
The yellow color of the shit and the soft feel of it made him think that Zhou Sinian had done something to him and gave him a huge pile of shit!
Mingdai was almost laughing so hard that her face turned red!
Finally someone understood her!
"This hat looks good, doesn't it? I dyed it this color specially for you. Originally I wanted to dye it the same green color as Mingdai, but Dazheng said you might not like green, so I changed it to yellow."
Bai Lianhua stared at Ming Dai with eyes wide open: "Cuckold!?!"
Ming Dai quickly explained: "I have never worn it before!"
Bai Lianhua didn't know whether he should be happy or not because his nephew finally changed his mind and didn't insist on cheating on him.
Just when he was about to open his mouth to complain, he heard laughter from outside the yard.
"Hahaha, who wants to be cuckolded?!"
