Return home
"Dad..."
Yu Sai's sudden words startled the white-clad girl, and she thought to herself: "How can this child talk?" But thinking about it, she felt relieved. When they left, the little girl was still like a kitten, already over a year old, if she didn't speak that would be strange.
However, he was slightly excited by his daughter's clear enunciation and pronunciation, "Girl, do you still remember your dad?"
Yu Tong shook his head and then nodded, Bai Haoran explained beside him "Dad, mom is afraid we'll forget you, so she often takes out the photo to let our sister recognize you."
Then pouting with a small mouth discontentedly complaining "It's you who don't think of us, and don't come to see us. The kids in the village all say that you don't want us anymore."
Facing his son's accusations and grievances, Bai Wenli was somewhat taken aback. He had been busy with family matters for some time and really didn't have the time to come over and see his three daughters-in-law.
But immediately after, he put on a serious face, "Little one, tell Dad if you've been naughty lately?"
Bai Haoran blinked his big, shiny eyes, stared at Bai Wenli for a moment, shook his head and chuckled.
Yu Sha can now understand why her brother used to get beaten up all the time. He's such a mischievous kid, he was well-behaved for a while after arriving here, but after getting familiar with the village kids, his true nature was revealed without a doubt. Yesterday, he even put a worm in a little girl's collar, scaring her so much that she burst into tears.
If it weren't for Geng Mei helping him take it out, his mother might have come after him for the bill.
Bai Wenli couldn't help but shake his head, "You little scamp, if you were honest then you wouldn't be my son. Come on, take Dad to your uncle's house for a visit. Daughter, Daddy will carry you out for a walk."
Bai Wenli hugged his daughter, brought his son, and held the gifts he had brought from home. He gave some to each of his three uncles' families. There weren't many things, just a token of appreciation. During this time, his wife and children had been taken care of by others for a long time. Although they were all family members, he still felt embarrassed about leaving his wife and children here for so long.
After visiting the three families, Bai Wenli hugged his daughter and son and talked about their lives during this period. Although the children's words were not very fluent, they could still understand the difficulties of their mother from a few words.
"Dad, I miss home..."
Bai Haoran was the first to explicitly express his determination to go back.
Bai Wen's arms were wrapped around his son, and he couldn't bear to part with him for so long, especially since the child was still so small. If it weren't for unavoidable reasons, he really wouldn't have wanted to let him go.
"Good son, your grandfather misses you too, this time dad is coming to pick you up."
When the mothers who went out to sell vegetables came back, they saw Bai Wenli coming over. Even Geng Mei herself was a bit surprised. Without feeling wronged, she gave her husband a look of discontent: "You still remember that you have two children here, I thought you had forgotten about us three."
It wasn't that she didn't want to complain, but she just couldn't catch up with him. It's been almost a year since she saw her husband's face. She felt uncomfortable being a daughter-in-law and taking care of two children on her own. If it weren't for the help of her sisters and mother at home, she would have had a hard time.
Geng Mei spoke very bluntly in front of her family, and Bai Wenli knew that his wife had some complaints, but he couldn't say anything, so he just smiled and chatted with his mother-in-law and younger sister-in-law.
The son-in-law can come over, as the mother-in-law is definitely not good at saying anything else, and can only arrange to kill a chicken for the son-in-law to cook. Otherwise, how can it be said that the son-in-law came to the door, and the little chicken's soul was cut off? Then there was no movement in the yard, and then there was no more noise.
Old Mrs. Geng asked Sanmei to call over her three sons to have a simple meal together, as tomorrow they would be sending their daughter back home and who knows when the siblings would meet again.
During the meal, Geng's eldest brother had a heart-to-heart conversation with his brother-in-law about family matters. "Wenli, don't think I'm nagging as an older brother, but our second sister has been studying since she was young and became a teacher after graduation. There may be some things she doesn't understand, so as her husband, you should take care of her more. We're far away from each other, and even if we want to help, there's not much we can do. You two just live your lives well, no matter what, just raise the kids well. Look at my two nephews and niece, they're smart and good-looking. Although life is tough now, it may not be in the future. If you need any help, just send us a message, and we'll definitely help if we can."
As for what his elder brother said, Bai Wengui just smiled and nodded in agreement. He hadn't appeared for almost a year, so it was already very gracious of his elder brother to say such things.
The sons-in-law all came to pick up their wives, and the old lady didn't keep them back. The next morning, they packed their bags early and had their sons send their daughters and families to the train station to take the train back home.
It wasn't until they left that Rainsong finally realized that her maternal grandparents' home was in Sichuan, no wonder the mountains and rivers were so beautiful, she liked this place.
The whole family got on the train again and went through a lot of bumps, finally arrived in Altay, she now knew where her home was.
This road is really tired, don't look at her lying in her father's arms, but she has been unable to take a bath all the time, and the temperature difference is too big. The farther north you go, the colder it gets. Isn't it said that spring has arrived? Why is there still snow here?
Looking at the little girl in her arms staring at the outside environment with clear eyes, Bai Wenli smiled curiously, "Girl, don't you recognize it? This is where we live, but the temperature can't compare to your grandma's place."
Yu Xuan couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart. It's not just the temperature that's not as good as the south, look at those bald mountains outside with rocks everywhere, without even a hint of spring. On the road, you might see some forests, but most places are still vast and endless Gobi Desert and wasteland, it's all desolate no matter how you look at it.
Alas, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Who would have thought that her past life by the sea had accustomed her to a world of lush greenery and crowds? The desolation of this place was probably something she wouldn't have imagined in her lifetime, yet fate had arranged for her to end up here.
But there is also an advantage here, the phenomenon of traffic congestion will never occur, and there are very few vehicles on the highway. If you learn to drive here, I estimate it will feel pretty good.
Touching the ring tied to the rope under her neck, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly. What's the point of recovering her memory? She has no experience living here at all. It's better for her to just live in a daze.
