"Grandma, don't worry too much, I have a good relationship with Wanru's brother now.
We went hunting in the mountains, bathed in the river, ate meat and drank wine together. He was quite satisfied with me.
He is a young officer, and he knows some things better than anyone else. I believe your presence will not become an obstacle between me and Wanru."
Yang Baiyi's comfort made Mu Xue feel much more at ease. The family drank and chatted in Xiao Qingyang's office, and the little girl was quietly eating canned food beside them.
Happy times always pass quickly, and before I knew it, the entire afternoon had gone by.
As his grandfather's family bid him farewell, Yang Baiyi took his sister into the jeep and left the farm.
"You're back? Is your grandpa and his family all doing well?"
As soon as they got home, Yang Baiyi was caught off guard by Lin Xiao's enthusiasm.
"It's fine. Wanru told you everything, right? My grandfather was a cadre sent down from the Red Star Farm."
Yang Baiyi was a little confused.
Originally, Yang Baiyi thought that Lin Xiao would probably mind that he had a relative with a sensitive identity, and he had already thought about how to explain it to Lin Xiao. However, Lin Xiao's reaction was far beyond Yang Baiyi's expectations.
"Bai Yi, I'm not saying anything as your brother, but you should have told me earlier that you were going to visit your grandfather's family today. I, as your junior, would have gone with you to visit them!"
Lin Xiao patted Yang Baiyi's shoulder, behaving very intimately.
Lin Xiao has this kind of personality. If he looks down on someone, he will think everything about you is wrong. But as long as you get his approval, he will treat you wholeheartedly.
"Brother, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. It won't be too late for us to go together next time."
Although Yang Baiyi didn't know what had happened to cause such a big change in Lin Xiao, the other party claimed to be his older brother, and Yang Baiyi was not a fool, so of course he had to take advantage of the situation to climb up.
"Okay, I heard from Wanru that your grandfather was also a retired military officer. He and my father were in the same system. Maybe we knew each other before."
When Lin Xiao joined the army, China had already entered a peaceful era. Apart from small-scale bandit suppression and peacekeeping operations, it had not participated in any large-scale wars.
But he grew up in a military compound and had been listening to his parents talk about that turbulent era since he was a child. Therefore, he had the highest respect for the old revolutionaries who had come through the war years.
"Xiaoxiao, did you have fun on the farm today? What would you like to eat tonight?"
The two grown men were chatting animatedly, and Lin Wanru asked about the neglected little girl.
"I had so much fun. I'm not hungry at all now. I can eat anything tonight."
The little girl hardly stopped eating the whole afternoon and ate a belly full of snacks and canned food.
"Brother, I'll go cook some dishes, and then we can have some drinks tonight."
Yang Baiyi felt a little flattered by his brother-in-law's enthusiasm.
"Are you still drinking? Can't you let my brother stay sober for one day?"
Lin Wanru thought of her brother's embarrassment this morning and burst out laughing.
"It's okay, let's drink less. We can't get drunk today. We have to bathe in the river tonight. I drank too much yesterday and didn't bathe, so I haven't felt well all day."
In order to prove that he was not lying, Lin Xiao raised his arms and prepared to rub the mud.
"Okay, don't prove it. As long as you don't get drunk, you can go take a bath in the river at night."
Lin Wanru frowned, turned around and went into the kitchen.
My brother is already a battalion commander, but sometimes he is still so childish.
"Brother, wait a moment, I'll go help with cooking."
Yang Baiyi had too many questions to ask Lin Wanru, so he immediately followed her to the kitchen.
"Wanru, what's wrong with your brother? His attitude before and after is so different. Could it be that he still hasn't sobered up?"
While Yang Baiyi was cutting bacon, he asked Lin Wanru who was making the fire.
"Today he went to the village to inquire about you, and first he met Aunt Xiulian. Of course, they praised you and said all the good things about you.
Later, my brother met Miao Guilan, Yan Cui'e and others, who exaggerated the story of Huang Qiuxia and the Fifth Girl.
My brother was skeptical, so he hurried back to ask me. I explained the whole story to him, which made my brother embarrassed and angry. If I hadn't stopped him, he would have almost gone over.
I have good news for you. You have completely passed my brother's assessment. He also said that when he returns, he will do my parents' work."
Lin Wanru said excitedly.
Although no matter what the attitude of my family is, it cannot change my decision, it is certainly better to get the blessing and support of my family.
"This is to be expected, mainly because I am good enough."
Yang Baiyi said proudly.
"Why didn't I realize you were so thick-skinned before?"
Lin Wanru gave Yang Baiyi a cold look.
It is not tiring for men and women to work together. With the cooperation of Yang Baiyi and Lin Wanru, dinner was ready quickly.
I fried some bacon, a green pepper and egg, a cold cucumber salad, and a healthy mushroom soup.
There are cold and hot dishes, meat and vegetarian dishes, vegetables and soups.
The room was still a bit stuffy, so we just had dinner in the yard.
There were no outsiders today, so Yang Baiyi took out his bulk Moutai liquor again.
"Bai Yi, I went out for a walk today and the information I got is basically the same as what the captain said.
You are indeed an outstanding young man, and I feel at ease entrusting Wanru to you.
I only ask one thing of you: treat my sister well. Before I convince my parents, I hope you won't do anything out of line."
After taking a sip of wine, Lin Xiao spoke frankly to Yang Baiyi.
"Brother, what are you talking about?"
Lin Wanru had never expected that Lin Xiao would reveal such a private matter right in front of her. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to bury her head in her bowl.
"Brother, don't worry about this. I will never do anything out of line before I get the approval of my uncle and aunt."
Yang Baiyi promised firmly.
"I trust you."
Yang Baiyi and his sister have been living under the same roof for almost a year. If Yang Baiyi was not a good person, he might have become an uncle by now.
Lin Xiao was still thinking about taking a shower in the evening, so he didn't drink much. They just drank and chatted, and each of them stopped drinking after drinking half a pound of wine.
"Brother, are you done eating? Why don't we go take a shower now!"
Yang Baiyi saw Lin Xiao looking at the cigarette box on the table from time to time, and knew that he wanted to smoke.
"Can't you wash after ten o'clock?"
"Before nine or after ten, it's fine. Only between nine and ten is the bathing time for lesbians."
Yang Baiyi explained to Lin Xiao.
"Okay, take a shower early today. You've been tired all day, so you can rest early after taking a shower."
When he stood up, Lin Xiao calmly put the Zhonghua cigarettes on the corner of the table into his pocket.
They both went back to their rooms, grabbed their toiletries and a change of clothes, and went out to the river.
