Chapter 1129 Friendship
"That's right! Is he going to look for the couple from Dahe Village who got into university? I just asked him about it and he didn't say anything along the way. How is he doing? Is he really successful?"
"That's enough! How much do we earn in a year? What good things can we buy with it? Winter is almost here. When he went out the other day, his father and I gave him two dollars and told him to pick up some coal briquettes for the stove on his way back... I won't say any more! It's time for dinner, go back and cook! Come and chat in the afternoon when you have time. I have to go and call Zao'er and Xiaohuzi over to help me..."
Bai's mother pushed several young wives out and followed them out of the yard.
After leaving the yard, don't forget to close the gate.
Even if the sisters-in-law and daughters-in-law were not satisfied with the key news, they could only restrain themselves and go home first.
Bai's mother went to call Ma Tianzao.
Let Ma Tianzao bring the child over first, and then Bai's mother went outside to look for Bai Yang and Bai Chengwu.
As for the population situation of the Bai family, Lu Miao was not clear about it, but Fu Jingyou knew it.
At Fu Jingyou's suggestion, among the things Bai Chengwen brought back this time, Lu Miao packed three sets of formal Zhongshan suits.
When Tianzao brought the child over, Bai Chengwen had already packed up most of the things in the room.
When Tianzao saw so many things when he entered the door, he was stunned:
"Did my sister-in-law buy all these for you? You're such a fool! How much is the honey you gave me worth? How dare you accept these things!"
Bai Chengwen said helplessly:
"I also said no, but if you don't accept it, I probably won't be able to come back now..."
Tianzao stuffed the child into his hand and rummaged through the basket with a stern face.
Seeing the roast duck wrapped in oil paper inside, Tianzao turned his head and glared at Bai Chengwen again.
Bai Chengwen held his son in one hand to coax him, and touched the back of his head with the other hand, smiling ingratiatingly and restrainedly, trying to calm his wife's anger.
In this brief interval, there was a noise outside the door and several other people in the house came back.
When they entered the house and saw the things, Bai's father, Bai's mother and his younger brother Bai Chengwu were no less surprised than Ma Tianzao.
Bai Yang had some guesses in his mind, but he still couldn't help but stare blankly and asked:
"Where are you from?"
Bai Chengwu, standing aside, was not as nervous as his father and sister-in-law. Instead, he put on a Zhongshan suit and gestured happily:
"Brother, you bought this for me? Did you know that Mom told me about the girl from Yanji Commune and bought it specifically for me to wear on my blind date?"
A glance revealed three sets of Zhongshan suits on the bed. Counting the number of people in the family, weren't the only three people who could wear Zhongshan suits the father, son, and brother?
Bai Chengwu grinned, peeled off the buttons of his old cotton-padded jacket and was about to put on his Zhongshan suit.
Bai's mother was so angry that she grabbed his clothes and slapped him on the back of the head several times:
"You've already asked clearly, but you're already scratching yourself? You don't even wash your hands when you come back, they'll be dirty!"
Bai Chengwu grinned and touched the back of his head, looking aggrieved.
Bai's mother ignored him, touched the material of the clothes carefully and asked:
"Chengwen, was this given to you by someone? I don't think this dress has been worn, it looks new!"
Bai Chengwen handed the child to Tianzao and nodded as he continued to take things out of the basket:
"They were given to me by Brother Six and my sister-in-law. They're all new, and everyone in the family has one... Dad, Chengwu, and I all have Zhongshan suits, and Mom has a winter cotton-padded jacket, and a jacket for both spring and autumn."
Bai Yang stretched his neck and looked at something. There was no joy on his face. Instead, he frowned and said the same thing as Tian Zao just now:
"How much do these things cost? How much is the honey you gave them worth?"
A man who eats someone's food should be grateful, and a man who takes someone's money should be merciful.
What's more, he is still a grassroots worker...
What would be good if this matter got out and people knew about it?
Bai Yang sighed, feeling that his eldest son had not handled the matter well.
Bai Chengwen touched his head and said nothing.
He was also helpless at that time, wasn't he?
Just like what he had just said to his wife, if he refused to put the food into the basket, Lu Miao would not let him go.
Bai's mother understood Bai Yang's concerns, so she just sighed slightly, sat by the bed and folded things silently without saying anything else.
The two elders were worried and silent. Bai Chengwu popped up again:
"Brother, why is there only our share? Where's my sister-in-law's?"
Almost everything in the two baskets has been taken out, now all that’s missing is the carrying basket.
As Bai Chengwu spoke, he went to pull the backpack that was still covering the mouth.
Bai Chengwen slapped his hand away with a "tsk" sound, staring at him and said:
"What are you picking at? That's for your sister-in-law!"
“…Tsk—”
Bai Yang has been re-elected as the team leader for several terms. He has a positive ideological character and has always been an advanced role model in the village.
With him as the head of the family, the Bai family lives in harmony and the family atmosphere has always been good.
In addition, Tianzao is a teacher in the team, and his job is quite decent.
In private, Bai Yang and his mother often reminded their two sons to love their wives and respect their sisters-in-law.
Therefore, although Bai Chengwu was not convinced and was scolded by his elder brother, he was honest and did not touch his sister-in-law's things again.
Seeing how friendly and respectful the two brothers were, Bai's mother couldn't help but smile.
At this point, Bai's mother said:
"Okay, now that you've got them all, just keep them. You can return them later if you need to."
I have already brought it back from far away, and it would be inappropriate to send it back now.
Bai Yang naturally understood this truth.
After slightly relaxing his expression, Bai Yang looked at his eldest son and said:
"Think about sending some of the honey you raise there to others during the holidays. You can't accept things from others like this in the future."
Glancing at his eldest daughter-in-law, Bai Yang sighed:
"We have a good relationship, so don't let people think we're ungrateful and are just trying to get something for free. It'll only make things worse later."
Tianzao was also worried about this, so he immediately responded:
"I understand, Dad."
"Um."
Bai Chengwen nodded.
This matter is temporarily over. Bai Yang waved his hand and turned to Bai's mother and said:
"Okay, let's go cook. Didn't you say on the way back that the boss had to deliver a letter?"
Bai's mother nodded, quickly put a few sets of clothes into the box, and got up to cook.
Bai Chengwen put the basket on his back and said:
"I won't eat here. Zao'er and I will go back and eat."
I came here just to hide from those people, not to eat at all.
I have to cook it here and I have to cook it when I get home, so I might as well go home and eat it.
Bai Yang glanced at him and didn't stop him.
The head of the family didn't say anything. Bai's mother thought that the young couple hadn't seen each other for several days and must be missing each other, so she didn't say anything to try to keep them.
After straightening the collar of her eldest grandson, Bai's mother told them to walk faster on the road.
Bai Chengwen returned to his home with the child and sweet dates.
After locking the courtyard gate and closing the main hall door to block the wind, Bai Chengwen lifted the floral cloth sealing the basket and took out the things inside one by one.
