In fact, Tang Liren was also nervous.
——The main reason is that Nansheng is too foolish. When he got married, he refused to listen to his wife. Now... he may not be willing to listen to her advice.
Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, he suddenly calmed down?
Tang Liren breathed a sigh of relief and quickly made arrangements.
At that moment, the whole family didn't even have time to eat lunch, and they were all busy doing their own things.
——Bai Nansheng went out to borrow a bullock cart and went to the village committee to get a certificate and a letter of introduction.
——Bai Dongsheng rushed around, notifying his relatives and friends to wait for his letter, saying that as long as he brought the letter, everyone would go to the county hospital together...
No one thought too much about it. They thought that Chen Lanfen, who was six months pregnant, had given birth prematurely, so Nansheng came back in a hurry? So that's why the eldest wife of the Bai family rushed Chen Lanfen to the hospital?
——Bai Zhenggan had a back injury and moved slowly, so Tang Liren supported him on crutches, and the old couple walked ahead slowly towards the village entrance.
——Bai Lili, Tan Fenghui, Chen Lanfen, Hongdou and Huangdou were the second group, and they also walked towards the village entrance in a mighty manner...Bai Lili and the two children carried a few quilts and pillows and other things.
——Bai Taotao fell last.
She was worried that Song Zhi would have no food to eat when he came back at noon, and she was also worried that she would be in the city for several days and would not have enough spiritual energy. So she first asked Bai Xingxing to prepare lunch for Song Zhi, and then asked her to tell Second Aunt to take care of Song Zhi's meals for the next few days. She then wrote a crooked note on her own:
Song Zhi, if we don’t come back, please go to the county hospital to find us on the third day.
Bai Taotao waited until Bai Xingxing brought over lunch before she put the note under the bowl, and the two sisters went out together.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one else was around, Bai Taotao took the opportunity to ask Bai Xingxing -
"Does my second brother like my second sister-in-law? Can they still live together after something like this happened? Why can't my second sister-in-law have children in the future? Does our family owe grandma money? Why is she treating us like this? Even if our father is not her biological son, does she have to treat our family like this? Do we have to live in the same yard with them? Can't we separate the family?"
This long series of questions made Bai Xingxing...
I simply don't know how to answer this.
To Bai Xingxing, neither her father nor her mother are as dear to her as her silly sister who has been with her in her dreams for decades and never left her side.
She saw the anxiety on Bai Taotao's face, so she took the silly sister's hand, held it in front of her, blew gently on the palm of the silly sister's hand, and said softly: "Don't worry, Fourth Sister, our family will leave this village in the future. We... will live in a big city in the future, and we will definitely live a good life..."
At this point, Bai Xingxing suddenly became stunned.
In her dream, the whole family’s misfortune seemed to start when Chen Lanfen gave birth to a child.
In the dream, in her previous life, Chen Lanfen did not go to the hospital to give birth. On May 9th, Chen Lanfen gave birth prematurely at home. She had a severe hemorrhage during childbirth and died. The village barefoot doctor pushed out a baby boy weighing more than nine kilograms from the belly of the dead Chen Lanfen. The child died before he could open his eyes to see the world.
The Chen family came to make trouble, saying that Tang Liren and Tan Fenghui bullied Chen Lanfen, which caused Chen Lanfen to give birth prematurely, and they also staged a self-torture trick with Chen Juxiang...
The second brother Bai Nansheng also rushed back, but under the instigation of the Chen family, he broke with his family, breaking the hearts of his parents and family members. He returned to the company in anger, and later went to the battlefield and never came back. It is said that even his body was not found, and the army had no choice but to build a cenotaph for him.
At that time, my parents paid a large sum of money to the Chen family because of Chen Lanfen's death. The Chen family still felt that it was not enough, and forced my parents to write a huge IOU and come to collect the debt during every festival.
Because of this, my sister-in-law suffered a lot when she gave birth to her third child. Not long after that, her little nephew died young. My sister-in-law became mentally confused, and while working outside, she accidentally slipped and fell headfirst into the icy river and died.
After his sister-in-law passed away, his brother never spoke again. He just worked hard and tried his best to pay off his debts.
In order to help her family pay off debts, the third sister Bai Lili ignored advice and married an old man who paid a dowry of 500 yuan but was famous for domestic violence and had tortured his two wives to death. On the night she got married, my third sister was beaten until her head was bleeding! In less than a year, the young and beautiful third sister was tortured to death.
The family worked very hard for four or five years and finally paid off the Chen family's debt. The situation seemed to be looking good, but then Yan Naqian framed Bai Xingxing and the family had to move away. But during this process, the two nephews were kidnapped by kidnappers...
The eldest brother searched everywhere for the child like crazy, but he didn't find the child. Instead, he was... run over by a car and could not be rescued.
At that time, Tang Liren had cancer, and my eldest brother used all the compensation money to pay for her treatment, but it was just a drop in the bucket, and in the end, he couldn't keep her...
Bai Zhenggan endured the grief and accompanied his wife on her last journey. He wanted to make one last effort and move more bricks on the construction site in order to earn more money for his two daughters, but his old injury never healed, and not long after, he died suddenly.
From then on, Bai Xingxing lost all her support and fell completely into a nightmare.
During these two days, every time Bai Xingxing recalled her past life dreams, she found it hard to believe and unbearable!
If she hadn't had the whimsical idea of asking reporters to help take photos this time, her mother Tang Liren would not have gone to Chen's house a day early in order to get Chen Lanfen to come back for photos... Unexpectedly, she discovered Chen Lanfen's secret in this way?
Is the fate of the family about to change from now on?
Bai Xingxing was lost in memories, with a lot of thoughts in her mind.
Until she heard Bai Taotao ask doubtfully, "What did you say?"
Bai Xingxing finally came to her senses, "What? Why?"
"I ask you, what are you mumbling about? What about the eldest sister-in-law being fine, the red beans and yellow beans not being lost, the eldest brother being fine, the second brother not dying, and my parents being even fine..." Bai Taotao asked.
Bai Xingxing remained silent.
It turned out that she couldn't help but mutter to herself?
Bai Taotao was a little anxious.
——She asked many whys in a row, but why couldn’t Xingxing answer any of them?
"You are such a fool!" Bai Taotao commented on her silly sister Bai Xingxing.
But, just now Xingxing grabbed her hand and blew gently into her palm?
Taotao liked this action very much.
It feels like he is trying to cheer her up and tell her not to be afraid?
Okay, then she will forgive this silly sister and treat her well in the future, not letting her go hungry and making her beautiful!
Bai Taotao also grabbed Xingxing's hand and blew gently into the palm of Xingxing's hand.
Bai Xingxing burst out laughing, and held her silly sister's hand with her backhand. The two sisters walked to the village educated youth station.
Bai Xingxing thought of something and said to Taotao, "Fourth sister, wait for me here, I'll be back soon!" After that, she left Taotao where she was and ran quickly into the Youth League Station.
"Sister Xiaohong! Sister Xiaohong, are you there? I'm Xingxing!" Bai Xingxing shouted.
Of course she knew that it was time to work, and apart from Yan Naqian, who was used to being lazy, there could be no one else in the Youth League Station.
But she came here just for Yan Naqian.
Sure enough, Yan Naqian's delicate and weak voice rang out, "Xiaohong is not here..."
Bai Xingxing hated Yan Naqian and didn't want to see her, so she stood at the door of the girls' dormitory and shouted, "Okay, I know! Sister Naqian, this is what happened. Sister Xiaohong told me several times that if I had the chance to go to the town or the county, she asked me to go to the post office to mail a letter for her! Our family is going to the county today, and since Sister Xiaohong isn't here, forget it. I came over to say hello. Sister Naqian, please tell Sister Xiaohong for me, I'm leaving!"
After saying that, Bai Xingxing pretended to leave.
It's not really leaving.
really--
Yan Naqian called her, "Xingxing! Xingxing, wait a moment!"
After a while, Yan Naqian came out hurriedly, holding a few letters in her hands.
All the educated youth left their hometowns and came to a foreign place. They missed home often and wrote letters to their families even more frequently. So everyone agreed to seal all the written letters in envelopes, write the address and put stamps on them, and put them in a small basket. Whoever has the chance to go out will take everyone's letters and deliver them together.
Hearing that Bai Xingxing was going to the city, Yan Naqian quickly took her own letter, and took everyone else's letters together, handed them to Bai Xingxing and said, "Xingxing, thank you very much. This is a letter that we educated youth want to send back home. Please help me post it. Here, the address is written and the stamp has been affixed..."
Bai Xingxing took the letter and read it——
Yan Naqian explained a few words, "There are five letters in total, don't miss any."
When Bai Xingxing saw "Song Sui (received)" written on one of the envelopes, her heart started pounding. She tried to appear calm and said to Yan Naqian, "Okay, bye, Sister Naqian!"
Yan Naqian suddenly thought of something and called Bai Xingxing again, "Xingxing, are you guys going to the county town? What are you going to do?"
"My second sister-in-law is about to give birth!"
Yan Naqian let out an "Oh" and became furious when she thought of the eighty yuan and cloth and pastry coupons that Tang Liren had snatched from her half-threateningly and half-intimidated.
She rolled her eyes, and a plan came to her mind. She said to Bai Xingxing in a friendly manner, "Xingxing, last time you... Second sister-in-law borrowed ten yuan from me. I know it's not right for me to urge her to pay it back at this critical moment when she is giving birth, but your mother should have money. How about you do me a favor, okay?"
Bai Xingxing sneered inwardly, but pretended to be innocent and asked, "Sister Naqian, what do you want me to help you with?"
Yan Naqian smiled and said, "Xingxing, talk to your mother and tell her that it was not easy for your second sister-in-law to give birth, so she should buy her a piece of floral cloth. Then you can give the floral cloth to me... I only need enough cloth to make a dress, and the rest will be given to you, okay? The debt between me and your second sister-in-law will be written off."
After a pause, Yan Naqian emphasized, "However, don't tell your second sister-in-law about this first, just let her have the baby with peace of mind!"
Bai Xingxing found it even funnier: Does Yan Naqian think that everyone in the world is a fool?
"But Sister Naqian, my second sister-in-law lent you ten dollars, and you only want my second sister-in-law to return you the fabric for a dress?" Bai Xingxing looked puzzled, "You are losing out this way!"
Yan Naqian smiled gently, "It's okay, I don't mind, your second sister-in-law and I are very good friends, we can talk about anything."
Bai Xingxing said "Oh" and nodded, "Okay then! Goodbye, Sister Naqian!"
Bai Xingxing ran towards Bai Taotao with a pile of letters.
Bai Taotao also saw Yan Naqian, and she pouted and said to Bai Xingxing, "I don't like Yan Naqian!"
——This woman is so stupid, but she doesn’t realize it and always thinks others are stupid.
Bai Xingxing, "I don't like her either! But we have to put up with her for a while. Fourth sister, let's go!"
The two sisters rushed to the village entrance, and Bai Nansheng had already borrowed an ox cart. At that moment, Bai Zhenggan and the two pregnant women, Hongdou and Huangdou, Bai Taotao and Tang Liren were put on the ox cart. The others walked along the side of the ox cart and headed towards the town together.
Bai Taotao sat in the carriage and thought: What’s so good about the city? Why does silly Xingxing want to go to the city so much?
In her previous life, when Bai Taotao was still a fairy, she was not completely ignorant of the ways of the world.
She had followed her master and fellow practitioners to the human world, and knew that most mortals in the countryside made a living by farming, while most mortals in the city made a living by doing business... Of course, life in the city was richer and more affluent.
until--
A tractor rumbled towards us from afar, passed by the ox cart that Bai Taotao was riding on, and then rumbled away in a cloud of dust? ? ?
Bai Taotao's eyes widened instantly!
This, this...
"Dad! How did that thing move?" Bai Taotao quickly asked her father.
Bai Zhenggan was upset about his son being cuckolded, but he had to answer his precious daughter's question, so he smiled and said, "That's called a tractor, it burns oil!"
Bai Taotao opened her eyes wide: What does that mean?
Bai Zhenggan saw his daughter's thirst for knowledge, but he really didn't want to explain at the moment, so he said, "Xiao Song is studying this, go ask him when you get home!"
Is Song Zhi specialized in this?
Bai Taotao thought for a moment and asked, "Did he learn this in college?"
This is alchemy, right?
Bai Zhenggan nodded and sighed, "What a pity for Xiao Song! I can't understand why he is so knowledgeable, studying such an advanced and good major, and his grades are so excellent... Who is crazy enough to let such a talent go to the countryside to farm!"
Tang Liren clenched her fist and shook it in front of her husband. She glanced at Chen Lanfen again and whispered to Bai Zhenggan, "Watch your mouth! You're even more talkative than us women!"
Bai Zhenggan chuckled twice and waved his hand at Taotao, meaning that the topic should be dropped.
Bai Taotao didn't understand why such a topic couldn't be discussed.
But what interested her more was - university.
She became curious and thought that she must go to the university to take a look if she had the chance. Would the universities in this world be... like the sects in the cultivation world of her previous life?
The ox cart swayed along for about two hours and finally arrived at the town.
Tang Liren asked the ox-cart driver of the production team to send the whole family directly to the doorstep of her cousin in the town, and then asked Bai Lili to buy five meat buns, stuffed them into the hands of the ox-cart driver, and sent him back; she also took out ten yuan and asked Bai Dongsheng to go to the black market to weigh four or five kilograms of pork and twenty kilograms of rice...
The whole family carried pork and rice and went to the home of Tang Liren's cousin Aunt Guihua.
Aunt Guihua was shocked when she saw the entire Bai family coming together! Before they could even exchange a few pleasantries, she was pulled aside by Tang Liren and started whispering to each other for a long time.
Aunt Guihua immediately ordered her daughter-in-law, "Chun, take the pork your cousin bought and quickly cook a meal. They have to leave after they finish eating!"
He then instructed his son, "Qiangzi, take your cousin's father's letter of introduction and go to the bus station to buy a ticket. They have to catch the three o'clock bus into the city!"
The Bai family had a meal of rice and steamed pork with bean paste at Aunt Guihua's house, then took the tickets bought by Aunt Guihua's son and boarded the long-distance bus again.
Bai Taotao was extremely surprised when she saw the long-distance bus that could accommodate more than a hundred people!
——In her previous life, she could fly with a sword, but only those who practiced Taoism could do so. How can a mortal have this ability! But, this spacious iron jar can hold so many mortals and run so fast? And you can walk when you want to walk and stop when you want to stop. You can run as fast as you want and stop wherever you want. ? ?
She couldn't help but ask Bai Zhenggan again, and learned that Song Zhi majored in "engine" in college. All iron machines with wheels that can run are equipped with "engines", right?
This is not alchemy at all!
Bai Taotao clenched her slender fists and waved them vigorously!
——University, right! Well, I must go to the university to see what is going on!
==
When the Bai family rushed to the county hospital, it was already seven or eight o'clock in the evening.
Tang Liren had already thought it through halfway through the journey, and said to her children, "It happened so suddenly that our whole family came to the county town, and we don't even have a place to stay. Tonight we will split into two groups. Dongsheng, do you remember? Your aunt has a distant cousin who works in a guesthouse near the train station..."
"We don't have a letter of introduction for staying in a guesthouse, and we have nowhere to stay tonight, young and old. You go with 20 yuan, and buy something if you can. If you can't buy anything, just give the money to Aunt Caixia and ask her to help think of a solution. You can't let us sleep on the street. We will think of a solution ourselves tomorrow..."
Bai Dongsheng nodded.
Tang Liren said, "Nansheng and I will take Chen Lanfen to the hospital. We won't be with you tonight. Tomorrow, settle the renting issue and come to the hospital to see me."
Bai Dongsheng agreed and led his whole family to seek refuge with Aunt Caixia.
On this side, Tang Liren, Bai Nansheng and Chen Lanfen went to the county hospital. Tang Liren went ahead and hurried to complete the hospitalization procedures for Chen Lanfen.
Bai Nansheng and Chen Lanfen walked slowly.
After all, Chen Lanfen was a full-term pregnant woman. After sitting in the car for a whole day, her calves were swollen and she was very tired. She barely took a few steps and the Liberation shoes on her feet were kicked off...
It was dark and her belly was big, so she took two steps back and opened her eyes wide to look hard, and finally she found her shoes. She tried to stretch her legs and put her shoes back on, but her feet were so swollen that she couldn't put them on.
Bai Nansheng followed her and stood still, watching her holding onto a tree, trying to stuff her feet into her shoes, the shoes being pushed further and further away by her fat feet...
He squatted down, picked up her half-worn Liberation shoes, untied the ropes to open the shoe openings more widely, then grabbed her ugly and rough feet that were swollen like steamed buns and helped her put on the shoes.
Chen Lanfen was very uneasy.
Bai Nansheng stood up and said expressionlessly: "Let's go!"
Chen Lanfen looked at him with tears in her eyes.
Seeing that she didn't move, he took the lead and walked forward.
"Nansheng!" Chen Lanfen called him.
Bai Nansheng stopped.
Chen Lanfen sniffed and cried, "I know my request... may be quite inhumane, but can't you really give me... a glimmer of hope? I don't want to be abandoned by my parents when I'm born, and I don't want to be picked up and raised by them. I don't want to get pregnant... All of this is not what I want!"
She cried loudly, clenched her fists and hit her stomach hard.
Bai Nansheng grabbed her hand and said angrily: "You are crazy! This child is about to be born!"
Chen Lanfen cried, "His birthday is the anniversary of his mother's death. Who really looked forward to his birth?"
Bai Nansheng shook her hand off and turned his head away.
Chen Lanfen pleaded softly, "Nansheng, I know I am sorry for you... Now, I just want to ask you one question, you... you really have no feelings for me at all?"
Bai Nansheng looked at her for a long while and said, "My grandmother was a widow and had children with her previous husband, but she was able to remarry my grandfather and live a good life... It's not impossible for you to raise your son well and then find someone else to live a good life with."
Chen Lanfen understood.
He really had no feelings for her at all.
"Then you are willing to marry me purely... just to be responsible to me, right?" Chen Lanfen asked.
Bai Nansheng said "hmm".
Chen Lanfen's tears began to flow again.
After a long while, she finally stopped being sad and asked softly, "So... do you have someone you like now?"
"No."
Chen Lanfen bit her lip and begged softly, "Nansheng, I beg you... please don't divorce me, okay? When the child is born, you will help me get the military permits and take me away from here... I promise not to be a burden to you! Nansheng, I will raise this child by myself without your help! If you meet a girl you like in the future, I promise to make room for you immediately and help you and her!"
"Nansheng, please, if you want to divorce me at this juncture, I...I will have no way to survive!"
"Nansheng, I like you and I don't want to leave you, so I didn't lie to you. I exposed the real me, the ugly me, and let you know the truest me. Nansheng, can't you understand me, forgive me, and start over with me?"
"Nansheng, we used to be good together. Don't lie to me. I know everything... You still have feelings for me, right?"
"Nansheng, have you forgotten that when we first got married, you were so happy that you always clung to me like a child, buying me beautiful clothes and delicious food... Nansheng, you like me, don't you?"
"Nansheng, you are in the army, the training is so hard, if you let me go with you, I will take care of your food and clothing..."
"Nansheng..."
Chen Lanfen cried like a monster, and every word she said was full of blood.
Bai Nansheng was in a state of confusion.
