Chapter 88 Song Sui is in pain
"Sister-in-law, is Song Zhi at home?" Guan Hailong asked.
"He's not at home," Tao Tao stared at Guan Hailong and asked, "What do you want?"
Guan Hailong smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if he's not here. I'll go inside and talk to you."
Tao Tao stood firmly at the door, unwilling to move away. "I'm sorry, Song Zhi is not at home, so I won't invite you to come in and sit down. If you have something to say, just tell me and I'll tell Song Zhi for you. Otherwise, you can come when he's home."
Guan Hailong was stunned.
He never expected that Bai Taotao would not let him into the house?
Guan Hailong laughed angrily, "Sister-in-law, I... never come to visit you for no reason!"
"Then tell me."
Guan Hailong: ...
"You want me to talk here?" He looked around and deliberately showed an embarrassed expression.
Taotao knew very well that Guan Hailong's body language was full of threats, meaning: I have something on you or Song Zhi, and if I say it here, you will be the ones who will be embarrassed!
She didn't want to pay attention to him. "Song Zhi is not here, so of course I can't let you in... Otherwise, how can we explain it to a man and a woman who are alone in the same room?"
Guan Hailong had never suffered such a loss before, and he immediately hated Bai Taotao.
But he was unwilling to give up.
——A few days ago, Song Zhi called Guan Qingbai and told him that he had bought a new house and had set a date for a housewarming party, and he wanted to invite Guan Qingbai's family to the wedding banquet.
Guan Qingbai was very happy. He told his family about this when he went home for dinner yesterday, and he solemnly told them: When the day comes, everyone will go! If you don’t have time, make time in advance, take time off when necessary, and take leave when necessary…
Guan Hailong was very shocked.
I heard from my father that the house Song Zhi just bought is located in the retirement home. It is a two-story building with its own entrance and courtyard? !
Guan Hailong knew the land prices for houses in Kyoto - in that location, and for a small building with its own door and yard?
You can’t buy it without four or five thousand dollars!
so?
Where did Song Zhi get so much money? !
Guan Hailong's father is the head of the Kyoto Military Region, and his salary is less than 200 yuan. Song Zhi is just a researcher... Oh no, he seems to be an engineer?
Forget it, even if Song Zhi is an engineer, his monthly salary is only sixty or seventy yuan at most! Even if he saves his salary without eating or drinking, how about 800 yuan a year? To buy a house worth four or five thousand dollars, you need to save for at least six years!
But can he really do it without spending a penny? His wife is still studying and has no income. Don’t the couple have food and drink? His wife is young, why doesn’t he buy her some new clothes, leather shoes, some cold cream, etc.? He had been staying in the countryside before, and had only been back in Kyoto for three or four months...
So why did he buy the house?
Could it be that the old man funded it again?
Then think about the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the old man gave Song Zhi 500 yuan and a pair of rings in front of him...
Haha, she can be so generous and unscrupulous in front of him, and I don’t know how much money she has given to Song Zhi behind his back!
Guan Hailong was angry and hateful, regretting why he didn't just ask for the money and ring given by the old man!
After tossing and turning all night, he couldn't bear it any longer and hurried to the retirement home, where he found Song Zhi's new home.
Looking again, this house and this courtyard wall...are they so beautiful? There are brand new white walls and black tiles, a bougainvillea in full bloom peeking out from the corner of the yard, and a few green bamboos also peeking out from the wall. It looks quiet and elegant, like a fairyland on earth.
Guan Hailong felt even more uncomfortable.
——A yard this new, this big, and this beautiful, I’m afraid you can’t afford it even with 5,000 yuan, right?
I'm very angry.
He was filled with anger and rang the doorbell.
Unexpectedly, Song Zhi was not at home and Bai Taotao was so wary of him that she actually didn't let him into the house?
Guan Hailong's face darkened. "Sister-in-law, if you want to say that, I won't be polite!"
Bai Taotao tilted her head and looked at him.
But Bai Nansheng got off the train at Kyoto Railway Station, exhausted, and then he carried his luggage, asking people along the way, reversing, changing trains...
Finally arrived at the gate of the retirement home.
——Song Zhi wrote to him, saying that he had bought a two-story house with a yard here. Because there are several green bamboos planted in the small courtyard, it is also called the Bamboo Courtyard. After entering the family compound of the retirement home, just ask people where the Bamboo Courtyard is and I believe you will find it quickly.
So Bai Nansheng asked people again and indeed found the legendary bamboo courtyard.
I saw the square courtyard wall, pink walls and black tiles, as well as the tall green bamboos and bright red plum blossoms. It was really an elegant courtyard!
but--
Why is there a man blocking the entrance to the bamboo courtyard?
It seemed that he could vaguely hear the voice of his sister Taotao? ? ?
Bai Nansheng was happy and walked over with his luggage towards the sound.
But I heard the man and woman say——
"Song Zhi is not at home, wait until he comes back and then look for him!"
"...Bai Taotao, let me tell you, don't refuse my toast or you'll have to drink a penalty! If that's the case, I won't be polite anymore!"
Bai Nansheng was immediately furious!
What if he couldn't hear it?
This man is bullying his sister!
Damn it! As soon as he arrived, he saw the girl being bullied. What about when he was not here? I don’t know how his sister has been bullied! Is Song Zhi dead? Did Taotao marry him just to be bullied?
Bai Nansheng angrily slammed the mountain of luggage to the ground with a bang.
It felt like an earthquake.
Guan Hailong, who was blocking the door, was startled!
When I turned sideways, I saw a handsome man with sharp eyebrows and slender eyes?
——The man was wearing a military uniform without the collar. One could tell he was an officer by the stiff and thick material of the uniform. He had a short shaved head and a scar running diagonally from the top of his head to above his right eyebrow, which gave his handsome features a hint of evil and ferocity.
Guan Hailong felt that the young man's eyes were sinister and fierce, and he shuddered unconsciously.
Taotao also saw her second brother.
She widened her eyes and shouted in great surprise, "Brother Nansheng!"
Bai Nansheng smiled slightly.
——His silly sister has grown up! She used to be a little beauty, now she is a big beauty!
However, Nansheng turned to look at Guan Hailong, his expression paused, and asked coldly: "Do you have anything impolite to say? Come on, tell me!"
Guan Hailong: ...
Bai Taotao, "Brother, ignore him, come in quickly! Oh, so much luggage? Brother, did you just get off the train? Have you eaten? Are you hungry?"
Guan Hailong watched Bai Taotao run out of the yard and try to grab the luggage the man brought from the ground. However, she tried each one and found that she couldn't lift them at all.
Then he saw Bai Taotao hugging the man's arm and said in a tender voice: "Brother! Brother, come in quickly..."
Guan Hailong thought angrily: Isn’t this man in military uniform a man? Why won't you let me into the house? If you let him in, then you and he will no longer be alone in the room, right?
Bai Nansheng didn't move at all.
Even though Taotao hugged his arms and tried to pull him into the yard, he still stood straight like a strong cedar tree, looking at Guan Hailong with provocative eyes.
Guan Hailong suddenly felt guilty and scared for no reason.
To give himself courage, Guan Hailong took a deep breath and said loudly: "You are the ones who are rude to me! I, I... I am Song Zhi's creditor, and I came to ask Song Zhi for money!"
Bai Nansheng narrowed his eyes, "What? Song Zhi owes you?" He looked at his sister with doubt and verification in his eyes.
Taotao was angry.
"You, say it out loud! What money did Song Zhi owe you?" She asked angrily with her hands on her hips.
Guan Hailong's face suddenly turned red.
He thought angrily: How could this country guy be so lacking in taste? If Song Zhi was here, he would have understood what was going on long ago and would have prepared the money long ago, without him having to say it out loud!
Guan Hailong was so angry that he was grunting.
Reason told him that he'd better leave immediately and stop arguing with Bai Taotao about this matter. He should just go find Song Zhi directly.
But Bai Taotao is so hypocritical (letting other men into the house but not letting him in? Isn’t he Song Zhi’s brother?), and why is this strange man so arrogant?
Guan Hailong was so angry that he almost fainted. He shouted, "Just say it! Is this something that I am ashamed of? I'm asking you, how did you and Song Zhi buy this house? You don't have a job and no salary, and Song Zhi is a worker. How much money does he make a month? If it weren't for my dad's support, would you want to buy a house here? Hey, this house... It's impossible to buy it without five or six thousand yuan!"
Hearing this, Bai Nansheng guessed in his heart: Could this man be the son of Song Zhi's adoptive father?
Taotao glared at Guan Hailong, and of course she would not tell him honestly that the house was mainly bought with the money she earned from speculating in small businesses.
She sneered, "You are the only one who has a father! Doesn't Song Zhi have a father?"
Guan Hailong subconsciously wanted to refute: Of course Song Zhi has a father, but Song Xi never cares about Song Zhi!
Tao Tao continued, "Guan Hailong, why have you never thought about this? Song Zhi has clearly expressed that he is unwilling to get close to your family, but why does your father treat Song Zhi so well?"
Guan Hailong was stunned.
Tao Tao stared at him and said word by word: "Because you are a waste!"
Guan Hailong's face turned pale with rage.
Originally, Taotao didn't want to tell Guan Hailong about this. After all, Song Zhi was not there, so she could just drive Guan Hailong away. But now that Brother Nansheng is here, she doesn’t need to be afraid of Guan Hailong at all.
She had been feeling sorry for Song Zhi since the beginning, and since Song Zhi wasn't around, she didn't have to consider Song Zhi's face and could just grieve for Guan Hailong.
"I know your father is very powerful. He is the number one commander in Kyoto! So all his things are yours? When Song Zhi and I got married, your father gave us a red envelope of 500 yuan and a pair of rings. You think... that money and rings should be yours? You came here today just to get the money and rings back, right?"
Guan Hailong: ...
Tao Tao, "But your father is not dead yet! Are you so anxious to inherit the family property? Since your father is not dead yet, he can give his money to whoever he wants. What does it have to do with you? What qualifications do you have to ask us to return the 500 yuan and the ring? Even if we return it, it should be returned to your father. How dare you ask us to give you the money and the ring?"
Guan Hailong was speechless.
Tao Tao continued, "Look at yourself again. You are such a grown-up, but your heart is as small as a needle tip! You can't stand others being better than you, especially Song Zhi and Fang Shenghao! After all, you are the biological son of the first commander of Kyoto, and they are one adopted son and one stepson. So you think that no matter whether they are adopted sons or stepsons, as long as they are better than you, your father is partial to them?"
Guan Hailong stared at Taotao with his red eyes.
——Isn’t it?
Tao Tao, "Look, you're still not convinced! Then let me ask you, what were you doing when Song Zhi was studying when he was a kid? What were you doing when Fang Shenghao was studying? Including Shanshan! What were you doing when she was practicing painting?"
"You always feel that your father favors Song Zhi, which is why Song Zhi has the education he has today. Then let me ask you, when you forced Song Zhi to exchange his place in the city with you, didn't you successfully go to work at the research institute? Then can you replace Song Zhi? Do you understand the knowledge he has? As long as your father favors him, can't Song Zhi learn that knowledge without any effort?"
Guan Hailong's face turned pale.
Tao Tao, "... and then you snatched Fang Shenghao's place in the city! But now, Fang Shenghao was transferred back based on his own ability. Let me ask you, did Fang Shenghao learn foreign languages and become irreplaceable because of your father's favoritism? Guan Hailong, do you dare to go to the countryside? Do you dare to pat your chest and say that even if you go to the countryside, you can be transferred back based on your own ability?"
Guan Hailong was on the verge of collapse.
Tao Tao added at the end, "Let's talk about Shanshan again. You feel bitter because you have a stepmother above you... Isn't Shanshan the same as you? Fang Ling is your stepmother and also Shanshan's stepmother! Then why does Shanshan have a skill? Only you can't do anything. You only stare at the mung beans and sesame seeds that others get all day long, and never think about what others have paid!"
"I'm not familiar with you, but I can see what's on your mind. Do you think the Guan family are all blind? Song Zhi doesn't know what's on your mind? Fang Shenghao doesn't want to get close to the Guan family, because he also knows what's on your mind... Only your poor father, for your sake, tried his best to show his kindness to Song Zhi and Fang Shenghao!"
"Guan Hailong, do you really not know why your father is so nice to others? Is he really partial to outsiders?"
Guan Hailong felt as if he had been splashed with a basin of ice water, and was completely stunned.
——Indeed, he has always resented his father's favoritism and the fact that he focused all his attention on Song Zhi and Fang Shenghao. He never thought that... his father was nice to Song Zhi and Fang Shenghao because he was too inferior.
so? ? ?
He used his favor to force Song Zhi to exchange for a place to stay in the city, and forced Fang Shenghao to exchange for a place to stay in the city at the cost of breaking his leg...
In the eyes of Song Zhi and Fang Shenghao, doesn't it seem like a joke? !
Guan Hailong closed his eyes.
At this time, Tao Tao repeated it again, "…As for how Song Zhi and I bought this house, it really has nothing to do with your Guan family! Guan Hailong, don't think that you are the only one with a father, Song Zhi also has a father!"
Guan Hailong understood immediately.
——Bai Taotao means: Even if a father despises his child, at the critical moment, he will always pave the way for the child and do his best to give everything he can.
This is true for Guan Qingbai and Song Xi as well.
Although Bai Taotao did not tell him clearly: it was because of Song Xi's support that Song Zhi was able to buy this courtyard.
But everything is self-explanatory, this is an impeccable and perfect answer.
Guan Hailong lowered his head, turned around and walked away without saying a word.
Bai Taotao then called Brother Nansheng and carried all the luggage into the yard.
Nansheng looked at his sister and felt that she had really grown up.
——When he was still farming at home, his sister was ignorant and could not speak or express herself well. She just knew that she would get close to whoever treated her well.
——He went to the army, and when he came back to deal with Chen Lanfen's affairs, his sister became smarter, but she still didn't understand much.
——Now, his sister has really changed a lot. She has become clear-minded, sharp-tongued and a grown-up girl.
Right now, it would be best if she could just use scolding to drive away the troublemakers.
Nansheng smiled and asked, "Is Song Zhi really not at home?"
As he spoke, he moved the luggage into the yard.
"He's really not home."
Taotao waited until her brother had brought all the luggage into the yard before she closed the gate and explained to her brother, "We borrowed some money when we bought this house. Now it's the end of the year, who wouldn't be in a hurry to use the money? So he went to the machinery factory in another city to earn some extra money these days."
Nansheng's eyes widened instantly. "You two really owed a debt? Tell me how much you owe. I still have a few hundred yuan in my hand..."
As he said this, he immediately unbuttoned his clothes and pulled out a folded, bulging men's handkerchief from his underwear. Inside was the salary he had saved from his frugal life over the past few years, a total of more than three hundred yuan. He stuffed the money directly into his sister's hand and said, "Here, go and pay the debt! Tell me if it's not enough..."
Taotao smiled and stuffed the banknotes wrapped in the handkerchief back into her brother's arms. "Actually, I don't owe you anything! I have money in my hand, but Song Zhi meant that I can't touch the money in my hand, in case there is an emergency. Don't worry, brother, the gap is not big, at most it's about 200 yuan."
Nansheng breathed a sigh of relief, "It's only two hundred yuan... Why do you have to put up with him? Just throw the money in his face and tell him to get lost!"
Taotao smiled and said, "That's not what Guan Hailong said."
Then she explained again.
Nansheng was dumbfounded when he heard this, and after a long while he sighed, "This is the first time I've seen a man with a heart smaller than a woman's. He's Mr. Guan's biological son, after all. Bah! The son is a coward and the father is a hero! I tell you, Bai Taotao, I won't return the money to him! He must be mad at me!"
Then he looked around the yard and said, "This yard is pretty nice!"
Taotao smiled and said, "I haven't had time to clean up this room yet, brother, it's a good thing you came a few days early... help me clean it up!"
Nan Sheng said proudly, "No problem!"
While they were talking, someone rang the doorbell again.
"Brother! Sister-in-law?" someone shouted outside.
Taotao was stunned.
——Why is someone here again?
However, this voice sounds quite familiar.
She hurried over and opened the door -
A small hill made up of bundles and bags of all sizes appeared before my eyes.
And then, a familiar voice rang out excitedly, "Sister-in-law! Oh, I finally found the place!"
Taotao hadn't seen this person's face yet, but she could tell from his voice...
It’s Song Zhi’s younger brother Song Sui!
She quickly turned aside and made way, "Song Sui?"
"Why--"
Song Sui, carrying a lot of bags on her back, walked into the yard, panting.
As soon as he unloaded his things, he saw Nansheng.
You look at me, I look at you...
Taotao quickly introduced them to each other.
It turns out that one is the man’s younger brother and the other is the woman’s older brother... Well, they are all relatives!
Song Sui hurriedly and enthusiastically shook hands with Bai Nansheng, and then asked Tao Tao, "Sister-in-law, where is my brother?"
Taotao repeated what she was told.
——When I bought the house, I didn’t have enough money, so I borrowed some money from outside. Your brother has been looking for extra money outside these days, and I must pay it back before the New Year.
Song Sui immediately took out several thick stacks of banknotes from her pocket and handed them to Tao Tao, "Sister-in-law, use this money to return it to Guan Hailong first!"
Taotao widened her eyes, "You..."
Bai Nansheng, "How do you know Guan Hailong is causing trouble? Do you know him?"
Song Sui, "I know him. When I was a kid, my dad took me to see my brother and we played together. This time I asked people along the way to find this place, and I happened to meet him at the gate of the compound. I asked him why he was here, and he said..."
At this point, Song Sui looked at Tao Tao's face and whispered, "He said he came to collect a debt from my brother."
Taotao was very angry.
Song Sui quickly said, "I asked him how much money my brother owed him, and he said he owed more than 700..."
Then he forced the money in his hand to Tao Tao, "Sister-in-law, keep this money. Here are 500 yuan. I'll go to the street and see if I can do some small business. Let's collect 700 yuan and you can throw it in his face... We don't want his dirty money and his anger! Bah!"
These words touched Bai Nansheng's heart, and he instantly developed a liking for Song Sui.
Taotao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she had to explain it again.
Song Sui suddenly realized, "How can Guan Hailong be such a person?! Oh my god, a grown man, but his mind is so small? Oh, I always thought my brother lived a happy life in the Guan family in Kyoto, but I didn't expect...he is almost the same as me!"
Later on, he realized he had said something wrong and quickly covered his mouth.
Tao Tao greeted them, "Okay, both of you, go wash your hands and wipe your faces, then we'll go to the state-owned restaurant for dinner. After dinner, we have to go shopping! I didn't expect you two to come so soon. There's nothing in the house except furniture. We have to go buy some bedding, otherwise you two will have no place to sleep tonight!"
Bai Nansheng and Song Sui had no objections at all. They washed their hands and wiped their faces roughly, then followed Taotao out the door.
The three of them had a quick meal at a state-owned restaurant, and then followed Taotao to the supply and marketing cooperative and the black market for a stroll.
Now it is the end of the year and there are only about twenty days left until the Chinese New Year. Many people are eager to exchange their extra things and get some cash to celebrate the New Year, so the scale of the black market is expanding. Song Sui watched with such fascination that she could hardly move her feet.
However, he was still drafted by Taotao...
While Taotao was shopping, Song Sui and Bai Nansheng were carrying things together.
The three of them went back and forth three or four times. Bai Nansheng was in good physical condition, so nothing happened to him. However, Taotao and Song Sui were exhausted.
Next, Taotao cleaned up the house for Song Sui and Bai Nansheng to live in.
This two-story building is actually a one-and-a-half-story structure. The master bedroom is upstairs and is very spacious, with a large terrace. Next to the living room on the first floor are four symmetrical rooms.
It turned out that Song Zhi and Tao Tao's idea was: four rooms, one for storage of miscellaneous items, one for study, one for reception room and one for guest room.
Now the family is coming over for the housewarming party, so Taotao's idea is: her parents will sleep in one room, her eldest brother and sister-in-law will sleep in one room, her second brother and Song Sui will sleep in one room, Li Zi and Xing Zi will sleep in one room, and the four little nephews will sleep in one room.
Just right.
After the rooms were allocated, the biggest problem was the bed.
Bai Nansheng said to Tao Tao, "We don't live here every day, so we came here to have a housewarming party. You don't have to buy so many beds! Just listen to me and buy a few more mattresses."
Song Sui took over the topic, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'll take care of it!"
While browsing the black market during the day, he already had an idea.
Facts have proved that Song Sui is quite reliable.
Early the next morning, Song Sui rode his brother's bicycle out, and in the afternoon he directed people to bring back six or seven straw mats...
After the person who delivered the brown mat left, Tao Tao asked Song Sui, "How much did it cost? I'll reimburse you."
Song Sui mustered up her courage and said hesitantly, "Sister-in-law, I want to watch a movie."
Taotao:? ? ?
Nansheng:! ! !
Song Sui lowered her head and said in a timid and humble voice, "I want Xingxing to treat me to a movie..."
Taotao snorted coldly: You are sick!
Nansheng grinned: You are tired of living!
Song Sui looked aggrieved. "Sister-in-law, when I wrote to Xingxing, I wrote three full pages of letters each time, but she always hesitated to reply. Even if she did, it was only half a page... Sister-in-law, do you think she was wasting too much money on stamps?"
Taotao gritted her teeth: She actually wrote back to you?
Nansheng glared: Another pig wants to eat our cabbages!
Song Sui whispered, "Sister-in-law, I can get whatever you want... I'm not short of money, I just need a movie to watch with Xingxing! We can go see Liu Sanjie..." Then she quickly added, "If you guys want to see it too, that's fine too. I, I just want to sit next to Xingxing..."
Taotao: You want to PEACH!
Nansheng: U kick?
Song Sui has a simple mind.
Anyway, his sister-in-law and Nansheng didn't object to him and Xingxing going to the movies, which proved that he could invite Xingxing to the movies.
As for asking Xing Xing to treat him to a movie...
That's just what I said.
As long as Xingxing is willing to watch a movie with him, anything is fine.
After eating the dinner made by Taotao, Song Sui hummed a little tune and rode her bicycle out again. When the night market was over, he laboriously carried seven or eight beds back on his bicycle...
The biggest problem of making the bed was solved easily and simply by Song Sui.
Bai Nansheng was not idle either.
These few days, he helped his sister check the entire yard, even the sewers and cellars. He repaired any leaks or breaks. He also reclaimed two plots of land in the backyard according to Taotao's request and planted some vegetable and flower seeds.
Of course it is not the season yet, but as soon as spring comes, the seeds in the ground will sprout.
After Bai Nansheng and Song Sui had been busy for two days, Song Zhi finally came back.
As soon as Song Zhi came back, Bai Nansheng and Song Sui surrounded him, each holding a few thick stacks of Great Unity in one hand and grabbing Song Zhi with the other, insisting that he explain clearly whether he and Taotao were short of money for the house they bought.
The only thing left is severe torture.
Song Zhi was touched and amused, and repeatedly assured that all the house payments had been paid in full, and now he and Taotao really didn't owe a penny...
He also took out the property certificate to show Bai Nansheng and Song Sui.
The two of them gave up only after they saw with their own eyes the names of Song Zhi and Bai Taotao on the property certificate.
Song Zhi was grateful but also a little surprised.
After asking, I found out that Guan Hailong came to Taotao's house to cause trouble and was caught by Bai Nansheng?
Song Zhi's face darkened.
——Since Guan Hailong came to cause trouble for him and he was not at home, Guan Hailong should have made an appointment with Taotao directly, and then visited her to meet him and make things clear. Why did you say those things to Taotao when he was not around?
Song Zhi doesn't care whether Guan Hailong takes him seriously or not, but Guan Hailong can't take advantage of his absence to bully Taotao.
He made up his mind that he must find a comfortable time to have a good talk with Guan Hailong and make him realize this.
However, seeing the originally empty courtyard and house become lively and tidy, Song Zhi was very happy. He did not care about the journey and immediately went to the kitchen to cook a few delicious dishes to thank his uncle and brothers.
That night, Song Sui quietly pulled Song Zhi aside and said, "Brother, let me ask you something!"
"you say."
"When you married my sister-in-law, how did you please your father-in-law and mother-in-law?" Song Sui asked.
Song Zhi frowned and looked at his brother.
I quickly understood, "You like Xing Xing?"
Song Sui nodded shyly, "She is so cute..."
Song Zhi, "Give up on this idea!"
Song Sui was stunned.
Song Zhi said, "You've been with me for a year, and you're already 27 this year! How old is Xingxing? She's only 18 this year! You're an old cow eating young grass! It's strange that her family would like you!"
Song Sui looked aggrieved.
Song Zhi continued, "When I asked to marry your sister-in-law, her whole family was wary of me like a thief, and they wouldn't let me be alone with your sister-in-law at all! I lived in fear under their noses for three whole years, and was tested by them 24 hours a day, all year round..."
Song Sui: "They just accepted you?"
"No!"
Song Zhi said, "It's because your sister-in-law wants to go out to study. Kyoto is 2,000 miles away from the southeast province. They are worried about your sister-in-law. That's why I patted my chest and said that I have lived in Kyoto for more than 20 years. I am familiar with it and I can protect your sister-in-law... That's why I took advantage of this opportunity."
Song Sui is almost in despair!
——His brother is so outstanding, yet the Bai family looks down on him?
God, he can't even match one finger of his brother...
What should I do?
"I just like Bai Xingxing," Song Sui said with her head down, "Since she is young, I will just wait for her for a few more years..."
Song Zhi poured cold water on him, "What if her family doesn't agree?"
Song Sui was upset. "If they don't agree, forget it! I'll just keep waiting... Who knows when they will agree? As long as Xingxing doesn't get married, I still have a chance!"
Song Zhi, "How does Xingxing treat you?"
Song Sui was even more annoyed, "How would I know! When she was in a good mood, she would write in her letters that the flowers on the roadside were beautiful and the fish in the pond were cute... I was so happy that I dreamed of flowers and fish for several nights in a row, and I even dreamed that she was smiling at me!"
"When the little ancestor was in a bad mood, there would be no news for ten days or half a month. I finally received a letter, and when I opened it, there were eight big characters written on the paper: 'Song Sui, I hate you to death'. Next to the word 'die' there was a mosquito mark that was slapped to death... I was so panicked that I couldn't sleep for days and nights. I didn't know how I had offended the little ancestor!"
Song Sui complained.
Song Zhi was trying so hard to hold back his laughter that he nearly burst out.
——It turns out that the Tao and Xing sisters have similar personalities!
However, given how much Bai Zhenggan and his wife love their daughters, it would be very difficult for Song Sui to marry Bai Xingxing! The difficulty is no less than asking Taotao to marry him...
After thinking for a while, Song Zhi gave his brother some advice, "You still have to find a breakthrough from Xingxing. My father-in-law and mother-in-law love their daughter too much. If Xingxing insists on marrying you, there's nothing they can do."
Song Sui sighed, "I understand the truth..."
I just don’t know how to please Xingxing.
The next day, Song Zhi borrowed three tricycles and went to the train station with Bai Nansheng and Song Sui to stake out the situation.
Taotao cooks at home.
After lunch, Song Zhi and his friends finally arrived home on a tricycle, carrying the Bai family and their bags...
When a family meets each other, they are naturally excited and thrilled.
Especially since Nansheng hadn’t been home for three or four years... The whole family hugged each other, cried, laughed, and talked about how each other had changed over the years. Everyone felt like they were dreaming!
Tang Liren first hugged Nansheng and cried, then hugged Taotao and cried, "You cruel child! It's only been half a year since you left your mother, how come you have forgotten her?"
Taotao: ...
She didn't forget her family!
Taotao collected the seeds of the small grapes from her hometown, planted one on the balcony of her parents' home in Song City, and also brought another one to Song Zhi's single dormitory at the University of Technology.
When she missed home, her parents, her brothers, sisters-in-law and sisters, she would ask Xiao Pu Tao about the situation at home.
In Taotao's eyes, she has never been separated from her parents.

"Fourth Aunt, can I read it to you? I have learned a lot of falsettos now. I can imitate the speech of men and women, and I can also imitate the calls of monkeys, dogs and cats..."
"Fourth aunt is beautiful!"
"Aunt, Aunt..."
On the other side, the brothers Dongsheng and Nansheng also hugged each other excitedly, sat aside, and talked about their respective experiences over the years. Song Zhi and Bai Zhenggan talked about their understanding and judgment of current affairs...
Only Song Sui sat in the corner, looking at this loving family with envy.
