"After all, our parents are abroad, and whether they can come back in the future is another matter.
Are you really ready for everything?"
When Baichuan thought of his father who had always supported him across the ocean, he felt a little sad.
Ningxia blinked her eyes, and after a long silence, she said, "My mother once said that everyone has their own life, and both she and I are independent individuals.
I can pursue what I want, and she won't control me, and she won't give up the opportunity to change her life because of me."
This is the education Ningxia received since childhood. Their parents separated because they had major differences in their ideas.
Her mother's words of advice lasted almost throughout her entire childhood.
Baichuan looked at his sister with heartache. He regretted very much that he did not choose to stay when his mother was crying hysterically for a child.
Instead, he let his sister endure the love of his paranoid and freedom-loving mother.
"Xia Xia, you know, some of your mother's views are not correct. Every mother loves her children."
Ningxia smiled and said, "Brother, do you think there is anything on mother's side that is worth my nostalgia?
I would also like to refute your point of view. Not all mothers love their children.
Oh, no, or rather, she loves herself more than her children."
Looking at Baichuan opening and closing his mouth, he looked like he wanted to say something.
Ningxia put down the things in his hand, shrugged, and said solemnly: "Brother, choosing to spend the rest of my life with Comrade Wen Shize is something I have thought carefully about."
When Baichuan heard her say this, he had no choice but to obey Ningxia.
He turned around and took out an envelope from the drawer at the back: "This is my salary, as well as the cloth coupons and other things I was given. I can't use them here.
I usually wear work clothes. You can use the money to buy yourself some nice clothes. If you are really planning to get married, you will definitely need to buy a lot of things.
I can't let you be looked down upon by others. It's not easy for me to go out from here. You can take this money and buy yourself a beautiful dowry."
Ningxia did not refuse. She took the envelope, sat happily on the chair, crossed her legs, poured out the money and counted it carefully.
“Hey, brother, your monthly benefits are quite a lot.
Are you really going to give it all to me? If you give it to me, I will spend it, and then you won’t even have the money to marry a wife.”
Looking at Ningxia's chatterbox, Baichuan was speechless.
"If you don't want it, give it back to me!"
"Yes, of course I don't. I've just finished spending my salary."
Ningxia quickly put all the money into the envelope and kissed it happily.
"You sleep here tonight, and I'll stay at someone else's place for the night."
As Baichuan spoke, he picked up the military coat beside him.
I also picked up a jar of mushroom beef sauce.
Ningxia was completely relieved to see that her brother quickly integrated into this group and had learned how to deal with people.
Although they have returned to their motherland, they have lived abroad since childhood after all.
Baichuan was already in his teens when he went out with his parents, but Ningxia didn't even have any memory of him.
So she was both excited and a little nervous about this unfamiliar land.
A big part of the reason for choosing to marry Wen Shize was that she wanted to quickly take root in this land.
Want to have my own home......
When Baichuan went out and went downstairs, he ran into Cheng Ye, who was sitting on a bench not far away smoking.
To be honest, this is the first time I've seen him like this since I came here from Baichuan.
In his impression, Cheng Ye has always been serious, does not smoke or drink, and apart from doing research, he eats and sleeps every day.
I didn't expect that in private, judging from the way he held the cigarette, he must be an old hand.
Cheng Ye also saw him, paused with the cigarette in his hand, and slowly placed the cigarette on the stone platform beside him.
Baichuan hesitated for a while, fearing that he would be upset because of his sister's affairs, and walked over slowly.
"Engineer Cheng..."
As if knowing what he wanted to say, Cheng Ye raised his hand and said, "I really don't have any idea. No one can predict feelings!
Before, I always listened to my uncle and thought that Comrade Ningxia was a very good partner.
That's why there were some special actions. Now she has her own happiness, and I should naturally bless her."
His words finally eased Baichuan's tense heart.
He sat on the chair with a smile on his face: "I didn't expect you to be so open-minded.
It's so late, why aren't you sleeping yet? "
Baichuan also felt embarrassed because of his sister's incident before, and the relationship between the two of them, which had become familiar with each other because of Professor Cheng, gradually faded.
Now that the problem has been solved and the knot in Baichuan's heart has been untied, the two seem to have returned to their former selves.
"I encountered some problems in my research, so I thought I'd come out to smoke a cigarette and expand my thinking."
Cheng Ye said slowly.
"I've never seen you smoke before!"
“Rarely!”
The two chatted casually. Seeing that he was dressed neatly, Cheng Ye asked gently, "What are you going to do?"
"My sister lives in the dormitory, so I thought about spending the night with Xiao Zhang."
"Come to my place, there's a camp bed there.
The quilts and everything else are ready-made.”
"That's great. It saves me from having to run to the next building. Let's go, let's go. I've been up for so long. I need to have a good rest."
The two of them walked into the dormitory building arm in arm. Occasionally, people in the corridor saw them like this and were a little surprised.
My heart was pounding: When did these two become so close?
The next morning, when Ningxia woke up, Baichuan had already brought her breakfast.
"I have to go to another research base today. If you are not in a hurry to leave, just wait here for two days."
While talking, Baichuan peeled the egg in his hand for her!
Ningxia packed up her things and said, "I want to go with the army's car this time, so I don't think I can stay here. Just do your thing.
By the way, the innermost package contains medicines, cold medicines, anti-inflammatory medicines, and medicines for injuries and bruises."
Ningxia pointed at the gray package in the corner and whispered.
Bai Chuan sighed, "I know, the car is waiting outside, I'll go first.
You have to take care of yourself over there..."
"I know, you're just being long-winded."
Ningxia's words washed away all the reluctance in Baichuan's heart.
After quickly finishing breakfast, Ningxia tidied up the house before carrying her bag and going out.
