Second Aunt Bai went to persuade the women who were watching the fun to leave, and then Taotao's sister-in-law Tan Fenghui came in with her big belly. Bai Lili also carefully supported Bai Zhenggan into the house.
Bai Zhenggan held his waist and as soon as he entered the room he saw Bai Taotao crying like that with blood on her arm? The head of the family gasped and his eyes widened.
Second Aunt Bai was talking to Tang Liren, "... Taotao was very well behaved today and didn't go anywhere. I was washing clothes in the yard, and I didn't know when Fourth Sister came in. I heard Taotao crying, so I came in and took a look... Hey, sister-in-law, please take a look at Taotao first. What happened to her? She's bleeding so much..."
Tang Liren had been listening to her sister-in-law talking while wiping her daughter's arm with a towel. Seeing that Taotao's arm was smooth and white without any injuries, she turned to her husband and said, "Taotao is fine. There are no wounds on her hands."
Bai Zhenggan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard his wife say Taotao was fine. With the help of Bai Lili, he sat on the kang bed and said to Bai Taotao, "Taotao, what happened?"
He didn't expect his silly daughter to explain things clearly. He knew how stupid his daughter was. But he had to intervene because he was a father and his daughter's support. Even though his waist was broken, he had to support his daughter.
Bai Taoji said crisply: "Fourth Aunt is here to steal money."
Before he could finish his words, the whole family was shocked!
Even Second Aunt was stunned.
——How come Taotao speaks so clearly?
Bai Lili was even more surprised, "Xiao Taozi, you...are you not stumbling over your words anymore?"
"You, you are the one who tied the knot!" Bai Taoji retorted.
Tan Fenghui slowly sat down on a chair beside her, holding her big belly, and asked, "Taotao, how do you know that Fourth Aunt came to steal money? What did she say and do? How did you answer her? Why was there blood on your hands just now? Did she hit you?"
Tang Liren frowned, "Hui'er, don't ask Taotao so many questions at once, she won't be able to answer them!"
Bai Taoji stammered, "Fourth Aunt asked me... where I hid Dad's compensation money... I didn't know, so Fourth Aunt beat me."
The whole family was shocked again!
Although it is just a few words, the content is quite clear!
Bai Lili was so angry that she gritted her teeth and said, "I'll go find her," and turned around to chase after the fourth room.
"Stop!" Tang Liren shouted.
Bai Lili said anxiously, "Mom, please don't let Fourth Aunt steal our money!"
Tan Fenghui patiently asked Bai Taoji, "Taotao, did you tell her anything?"
Bai Taoji really wanted to explain it clearly, but she found that this body was real... She couldn't say a few more words, she stuttered and gasped, so she shook her head.
Tang Liren frowned, "Why are you panicking? Taozi may not know where our money is!"
In fact, Bai Taotao knows it all.
Mainly because she is a "fool", no one is on guard against her.
Tang Liren and Bai Zhenggan discussed, "Boss, why don't I deposit the money in a savings bank?"
So that people won’t keep it at home and always remember it.
Bai Zhenggan nodded, "Okay."
Tan Fenghui glanced at Second Aunt Bai and thought that although Second Aunt Bai was trustworthy, they were not family after all. It was not appropriate to talk about money matters in front of Second Aunt Bai, so she changed the subject and asked, "Second Aunt Bai, where are the red beans and soybeans?"
These two are the daughter and son born to her and her husband Bai Dong, one is six years old and the other is less than four years old.
Today is the day that Bai Zhenggan goes to the county hospital for a follow-up check-up. His mother-in-law Tang Liren borrowed an ox cart. Tan Fenghui happened to be eight months pregnant, so Tang Liren wanted to ask her to go to the hospital for a physical examination as well.
Before leaving, Tan Fenghui told her two children not to go out and to stay at home with their fourth aunt Bai Taotao...
Why am I missing now?
Aunt Bai said, "They were there just now! Oh, by the way...something happened at the Youth Educator's Station. There was a big commotion. They must have gone over to watch the fun."
As they were talking, Hongdou and Huangdou came running back hand in hand.
"Mom! Grandma, Grandpa! Third Aunt, you are back? Hello, Fourth Aunt! Hello, Second Grandma!" The two little guys were so excited that after calling out to everyone, they started to shout:
"Mom, there was a fight over at the Youth League Station. One person beat more than a dozen people! That big brother was so powerful. He was injured, but the people he beat had their front teeth knocked out..."
"Mom, there's a big brother who hits people! The big brother is angry, and the big sister is crying!"
Hongdou is older and more articulate, speaking in a rapid-fire manner without even taking a breath; Huangdou is only three and a half years old, and still uses repetitions of words when speaking, with long dragged out endings in his voice, in a childish voice.
Tan Fenghui was a little angry when she saw her two children were all dirty. "Hongdou, take your brother to wash his face and hands."
Hongdou is a smart kid. He knows that the elders went to the city today. Maybe they brought back some good things.
Realizing this, Hongdou smiled and pulled her brother along and ran away.
Tang Liren motioned Bai Lili to go over and close the door, then she took out a plastic bag from her bag, opened the bag, counted the buns, took out a few buns, then took the clean plastic bag that Bai Lili handed over, put the plump white buns in it, and stuffed it over to Aunt Bai Er.
"These are the meat buns we bought in town. You can take some too. One for each person in the family..."
Second Aunt Bai blushed, "No, no! Big brother is not feeling well, and Dongsheng's wife is pregnant, you guys eat, you guys eat!"
Tang Liren, "I reserved some for you when I bought it! We also have one for each person in our family! But if you have more, there won't be any left! So you can take it quietly and cover it with your apron... If Li Cui'er finds out, I won't admit it! Don't blame me, I didn't buy any meat buns at all!"
Aunt Bai was amused but refused to accept the meat buns.
Bai Lili and Tan Fenghui tried hard to persuade her.
Only then did Second Aunt Bai blush as she hid the meat buns and said, "We'll have noodle soup for lunch today. I've already made it and put it on the stove. You should hurry over and get it. Otherwise, I'm afraid the third and fourth sons' families will do something else." With that, Second Aunt Bai hurried away.
Hongdou led his brother Huangdou over after washing his hands. When they smelled the aroma, they clapped their hands in joy, "Meat buns! I smell the aroma of meat buns!"
Tan Fenghui quickly put her finger to her mouth and made a "hush" sound.
Hongdou understood, covered her mouth with her hand and nodded.
Huang Dou licked his lips and asked quietly, "Grandma, when are we going to eat meat buns?"
Tang Liren smiled and said, "When your father gets off work, we can eat together, okay?"
The little guy nodded seriously.
Hongdou counted the buns in the bag, "One, two, three... Grandma, why are there only nine buns?"
There are eleven people in the family. Even if my second uncle joins the army, there are still ten people left!
"Your second aunt hasn't come back these days. She's at her parents' home," Tang Liren explained. "... Wait for grandma to pick her up in a few days. She'll buy some buns for her then. Can you give her another meat bun then?"
Anko nodded.
Bai Lili suddenly asked, "Hongdou, where is your aunt?"
——Where did Bai Xingxing go?
Hongdou pouted, "As soon as you left, my aunt left, saying she wanted to go to Fangfang's house to see her vanishing cream."
At this time, there was a noise outside, probably the production team coming back from work.
Tang Liren said quickly: "Lizi, let's go to the kitchen and get some food!"
Tan Fenghui, "Mom, I'll go!"
"Don't move!" Tang Liren said, "You've been tossing and turning all day with a big belly, it's hard for you, take a break! Let's go get the noodle soup, it's not bad with fermented bean curd and meat buns!"
As she spoke, Tang Liren took Bai Lili to the kitchen to get some food.
At this time, Bai Zhenggan had already started chatting with Bai Taotao.
However, Tang Liren and the others had been talking non-stop, and the room was noisy, so Bai Taotao couldn't hear clearly what her father said. It was only because Bai Zhenggan repeated it over and over again that she could barely hear it clearly, and then she answered her father's words slowly, word by word...
It was not until Tang Liren took Bai Lili to the kitchen and Hongdou and Huangdou stopped talking temporarily that Bai Zhenggan clearly heard what his silly daughter said -
"Fourth Aunt said that I was being punished... My parents did something that was against the will of heaven... That's why I'm stupid. It's a waste for my family to feed me eggs. It's better to raise a pig than to raise me... Only when I die can I avoid bringing trouble to my sisters' reputation... The eldest wife works less and eats more... My mother is unfilial..."
Of course, these words were not said by Li Cui'er today. She said them to Bai Zhenggan and his wife every day behind their backs. Even because Bai Taotao was a fool, Li Cuier specifically pointed at Bai Taotao and scolded her to vent her anger.
At this moment, Bai Taotao told Li Cui'er everything she had said. Although she stuttered, her words were clear.
After finishing her complaint in one breath, Bai Taoji felt exhausted and her head became more and more dizzy, so she fell asleep on the kang bed.
Bai Zhenggan's face was distorted with anger.
Tan Fenghui was also very angry. "What do you mean we work less but eat more? Speaking of work, our eldest family has always worked the hardest but got the least. It was only in the past six months that Nansheng joined the army, Lanfen (Nansheng's wife) and I got pregnant, and Dad injured his waist, so we missed a few days of work..."
Just as he finished speaking, someone pushed the door open.
He is Bai Taotao’s elder brother Bai Dongsheng.
His face was livid and there was someone following him.
As soon as the door was opened, Li Cui'er's loud cursing voice in the yard could be clearly heard by everyone in the house -
"… There are eleven people in the family, one is disabled, one is stupid, there are two children and two pregnant women, and the rest are women who can't carry anything! Humph, there is still one who says it's glorious to join the army! Knowing that there is not enough labor force at home, he still wants to join the army!"
"Such a family relies on one person to work and earn work points, but it's still not enough to make ends meet. In the end, we still have to spend the work points we earned? Ah, we work so hard just to support others! Don't we have to live?"
"Even so, he still orders people around! He keeps all the money he has saved from previous years in his hands and doesn't spend a cent! He brings food and drinks into his house so easily. Is there anyone who is so shameless? I would just split up the family! Who can live like this..."
Bai Zhenggan was so angry that he almost died.
When his father died, he was only fifteen and his second brother was eleven; his stepmother's two sons were seven and four years old... He was the only one who had to go to work in the production team.
It is impossible for a thin and weak boy to work ten hours a day like an adult man!
However, if he doesn't go to work, the five people in his family won't even have enough to eat! There is no other way but to grit your teeth and work hard. Others work for eight hours and take a break when they have earned enough work points. Then he will work ten hours, twelve hours, fourteen hours! In short, you must be able to collect ten work points!
That kind of life lasted for several years, until his wife Tang Liren got married, and the situation did not improve. Tang Liren was also a capable person. She was ambitious and never gave up. The couple worked hard to raise their younger brothers, and only after they married their younger brothers' wives did they dare to have children.
To be honest, the third and fourth sons were raised by Bai Zhenggan and his wife. Now that the fourth son's wife has failed to steal money, she is clamoring to divide the family property? ? ?
Isn't it just that you think the big house is no longer useful?
Bai Zhenggan was so angry that he was gasping for breath.
Bai Taotao had just talked too much and felt dizzy. Now her eldest brother came back and opened the door. The cold wind blew over her and she became more sober. She heard the vulgar scolding of her fourth aunt in the yard and said to Bai Zhenggan in a vague voice, "Dad, Dad... Let's split up the family, split up the family! Let's live our own lives and have a good life."
Hearing this, Tan Fenghui and Bai Dongsheng looked at Bai Zhenggan with hope in their eyes.
——The third and fourth rooms have been clamoring to split up the family for a long time, but Bai Zhenggan considers himself the patriarch and clings to old ideas, thinking that "as long as the parents are still alive, the family should not be split up", even though his mother is essentially a stepmother.
In the past, no matter who brought up this matter, Bai Zhenggan would get angry.
But Taotao is different.
She was the apple of Bai Zhenggan and his wife's eye. She had grown up carefully in their hands. No matter what she said, Bai Zhenggan felt that his daughter was so well-behaved, her words were so sweet, and her daughter was so pitiful...
This time was no different. Bai Zhenggan looked at his silly daughter curled up like a cat, looking so pitiful, with a tired look on her pretty and delicate face. He couldn't help but feel distressed and coaxed her gently, "Okay, okay! We'll separate when you wake up. Darling, stop talking and get some rest."
Tan Fenghui and Bai Dongsheng were so ecstatic that their pupils trembled.
The young man following behind Bai Dongsheng suddenly said, "Brother Bai, I'd better... go back first!"
Everyone then realized that there was another person coming in with Bai Dongsheng - this person was wearing a half-worn white shirt, but the collar and sleeves were torn, his body was covered with mud, his face and hands were bruised and purple, and there was blood at the corners of his mouth?
Everyone was stunned.
——Who is this person?
Bai Dongsheng quickly introduced, "Dad, this is the new educated youth Song Zhi. Today is his first day to report to the village."
Bai Zhenggan said "Oh" and remembered that the county had recently issued a notice saying that a group of educated youth from the cities would come to the countryside to experience life and build a new modern countryside.
but--
Bai Zhenggan looked Song Zhi up and down and thought to himself, this young man is quite handsome, why does he look so disheveled?
Hongdou and Huangdou also stretched their necks to look at Song Zhi and said together:
"Big brother is really good at fighting!"
"More than a dozen of them combined can't beat the big brother!"
Bai Zhenggan:? ? ?
Song Zhi pursed his lips, said nothing, and looked gloomy.
Bai Dongsheng winked at his family, telling them not to ask about this at this moment, and then told his wife, "Hui'er, go get the iodine and mercurochrome!"
Bai Zhenggan was injured while saving someone some time ago, and he had a lot of medicine prepared at home. Tan Fenghui responded and went to the next room to look for medicine with her big belly.
Bai Taoji, who was dozing off in the corner of the kang bed, suddenly opened her eyes wide like a cat!
——Aura? ! Rich and fragrant aura! ! !
Where does the spiritual energy come from?
At this time, Song Zhi felt a little uncomfortable and whispered, "Brother, I, I still won't bother you..."
Bai Dongsheng stretched out his hands, pressed Song Zhi's shoulders, and asked him to sit on the kang bed. He said, "Don't worry, take care of the wound first, then have a meal at our house and take a rest."
Bai Taoji finally found the source of the spiritual energy, and quickly crawled to Song Zhi's side from the other end of the kang bed, pressing her little paws on his back...
Song Zhi noticed it and turned his head, but suddenly froze.
He saw a face as beautiful as a peach or plum.
And Bai Taoji took a deep breath, and breathed again——
The young man in front of her was wrapped in a thick layer of spiritual energy. In the eyes of Bai Taoji, who saw everything in a blur, he looked like a walking ball of spiritual energy.
Now, the endless wonderful spiritual energy emanating from him enveloped her entire body. She only took a few breaths and in an instant she felt her mind clear, her ears and eyes sharp, and her body light!
Bai Taoji finally saw the face of the first person she saw after coming into this world.
She suddenly gasped!
