"Bai An." Lu Jinan called Bai An softly.
Bai An was eating his food and replied vaguely, "What's wrong?"
"Who was the boy at the bus stop today?" As soon as Lu Jinan said this, Lu Demin and Wanqing stopped eating and pretended not to care, tilting their ears to listen to their conversation.
But Bai An just responded casually, "He said he is my classmate, so he should be my classmate."
"Should?" Lu Jinan frowned, very dissatisfied with Bai An's answer, "You have no impression of him at school?"
Lu Jinan's sudden serious tone made Bai An put down her chopsticks and carefully recall the information about the boy in her mind. However, she didn't even recognize all the people in her class, so how could she remember people from other classes?
Bai An nodded and answered Lu Jinan seriously: "I really have no impression of him at all. He may have recognized the wrong person."
I don't think he looked like he had mistaken someone for someone else.
Lu Jinan looked at Bai An's silly look and thought about the way the boy looked at Bai An at the station. How could it be like he had recognized the wrong person? That boy clearly had plans for Bai An.
Seeing that the two children were silent, Lu Demin asked, "What boy?"
...
...
Wanqing also said at this time, "I am also very curious, does Bai An have other good friends now?"
Lu Jinan looked at his parents gossiping and remained silent.
Bai An said nonchalantly, "When I came back today, a boy helped me get my books and gave me his seat. He said he was my classmate, but I have no impression of him at all."
"Is that all?" Lu Demin put a piece of vegetable in Bai An's bowl and asked, "Nothing else?"
"No more, Dad." Bai An looked at Lu Demin's curious eyes as he picked up food for him with amusement, "Why do you look so wrong?"
Wanqing also tapped Lu Demin's shoulder with a smile, "Bai An is only a little old, what are you thinking about?"
Lu Demin smiled and adjusted his round-frame glasses out of habit. "People in the village get married early. Am I not afraid?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Jinan looked up at Bai An. Bai An was still eating at this time, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her. Her attention was all on the food.
Her face still has a hint of baby fat, and her cheeks puff out when she eats, like a little child. No matter where she is, everyone who sees her can't help but praise her.
Lu Jinan didn't know why, but the more he looked at her, the more annoyed he became. When he thought about the fact that Bai An was going to get married in the future, he became even more anxious.
"I'm done eating." Lu Jinan put the bowl and chopsticks in his hand on the table and walked into the house without looking back.
Bai An looked up at Lu Jinan's back and felt strange, but didn't think much about it.
"Oh, by the way." Wanqing whispered in Lu Demin's ear, "Lin Zhixia's mother came to see me today."
Since that incident, their two families have not communicated for a long time.
Lu Demin frowned and asked unhappily, “Why did she look for you?”
Wanqing glanced at Bai An who was still eating, and said in a lower voice, "She came to ask Bai An if he had a crush on anyone."
As soon as this sentence was heard, Lu Demin knew what it meant. Just like he said just now, people in this village get married early. Even Cui Ju, who is about the same age as Bai An, is already on a blind date.
"Don't worry about her." Lu Demin ate his meal as usual and said, "I don't think there are many good people in this village. Besides, can you bear to do that?"
Wanqing looked at Bai An in front of her. Bai An noticed Wanqing's gaze, looked up and smiled at her.
"Of course I'm reluctant." Wanqing looked at Bai An and said softly.
Bai An was somewhat curious about what his parents were whispering about without him noticing, so he moved closer to them and whispered, "What are you talking about?"
Wanqing tapped Bai An's head and said, "If you continue, I'll let you wash the dishes later."
Bai An covered his forehead with his hands in amusement, "Sure, why do you have to whisper about this kind of thing? Just tell me directly."
Seeing Bai An's carefree look after finishing her meal, Wan Qing thought for a moment and said, "Otherwise, it depends on Bai An herself. As long as she likes it, that's fine."
Lu Demin frowned, turned around and talked to Wanqing, "I don't want Bai An to get married so early and be trapped in marriage for the rest of her life. It would be great if she meets a good man, but I'm afraid she hasn't. I want her to go out and see the world and see what kind of life she wants, instead of having only this one choice now."
Wanqing listened to Lu Demin's words and nodded in agreement. She had lived in this village for too long, so long that she almost forgot about the outside world. She was trapped here both physically and mentally.
"Demin, do you think it was right for us to come here at that time?"
Lu Demin put his arm around Wanqing's shoulders in a comforting manner and said, "Since you're here, there's no need to think so much."
Bai An had already walked outside Lu Jinan's room and knocked on the door gently, "Brother, can I come in?"
Lu Jinan was sorting the books that Bai An brought back. When he heard Bai An's voice, he responded habitually, "Come in."
After getting Lu Jinan's consent, Bai An opened the door. Seeing Lu Jinan watching her take the book back, she excitedly went straight to Lu Jinan and said.
"You should read these books carefully. They will be useful in the future."
Lu Jinan nodded. He understood that the contents of these books were very important, but he just didn’t quite understand the use of these books.
He pointed to a book that no longer had a cover and asked, "Do you know what this book is about?"
Bai An took the book from Lu Jinan and flipped through it casually. "This is a physics book, brother, you should know what it is."
Of course Lu Jinan knew that it was the textbook that should be taught in school.
"Brother, I think that the school may resume the college entrance examination in the near future. You must seize the opportunity when the time comes. It is a very important thing."
Lu Jinan looked at Bai An's serious expression, nodded, and said, "Since it is so important, you have to learn them with me."
"Ah?" Bai An said hesitantly, "That's not my ambition."
Bai Anke has not forgotten the painful years before the college entrance examination in his previous life. Until now, he still dreams from time to time of the horrifying scene of himself staying in the examination room doing math problems.
Lu Jinan glanced at Bai An beside him and asked, "If you are not interested in this, then where is it?"
Bai An nodded his head and walked out under Lu Jinan's gaze, "I haven't thought about it yet."
Bai An came out and saw that his mother was the only one eating at the table, so he walked to his mother's side, picked up the chopsticks and took a few more bites.
Wanqing looked at Bai An and said softly, "Didn't you eat enough just now?"
"I'm full." Bai An picked up some shredded potatoes and said, "I want to eat a few more bites."
Wanqing said with a smile: "Then go and play after you finish eating, and mom will wash the dishes."
"No, I'll do it." Bai An smiled and sat next to Wan Qing and said, "Washing dishes is a simple task. I can finish it in no time."
