Aunt's troubles
Although Bai Wenshen was beaten, thinking of his future happy days made him feel that this sacrifice was still worth it.
Bai Wenguang reached out from behind and put his arm around Bai Wensheng's shoulder, "Little Fourth, you should start practicing too. Your body is not suitable for fighting at all, it's too thin. From now on, eat more, and let your dad cook meat for you at night. Your sister-in-law brought some meat back from her hometown."
As soon as he heard that there was meat to eat, Bai Wensheng became even more cheerful and completely forgot about his injuries. He jumped up high and hugged Bai Wenli excitedly, jumping onto his back. "Big brother, I knew you'd bring me delicious food when you came back! Yeah, my big brother is the best!"
Bai Wengui smiled and shook his head, "You little thing, hurry up and come down. Your big brother has traveled such a long way without even getting a chance to rest, and then ran over to help you fight a battle. I've got to hurry back and take a nap, you can call me again at dinner time."
Bai Wenguang was really tired, he was the one who slept the least on this road, afraid that the two children would be secretly taken away halfway, the couple took turns sleeping, besides, a woman's body can't compare to his, so he tried to let his wife sleep for a while, with good physical strength she could breastfeed the child, otherwise if her milk dried up, their daughter would go hungry.
Geng Mei followed behind with her son, her husband and younger brother-in-law were fine, she didn't say anything else. "Mom, I want to sleep with my sister, I'm sleepy."
Bai Haoran let out a sigh of relief, he hadn't slept all night, and after watching the fight he started to feel drowsy.
Geng Mei saw her son's appearance and felt heartbroken, so she picked him up, "Okay, let's go home and sleep with your sister."
After all, the couple didn't rest well on the way, so they decided to take a break first. Yueting was hugged by her brother and took a short nap, but she got hungry soon. Breast milk was no longer enough for her who was almost one year old, it could only be considered as a snack in between meals.
Getting up from the kang and looking at the sky outside, I guess it's time for dinner. "Mom, I'm hungry."
The couple sleeping next to me, who don't even know the difference between south and north, got up to eat. If they keep sleeping like this, I'm sure they'll be awake for the second half of the night.
The daughter spoke up, and Geng Mei, who was sleeping, had to open her eyes and take a look. "Girlie, are you hungry? Mom will get up and make something for you."
Pushing her husband and son aside, she saw that it was getting dark outside, and they still had to eat dinner soon.
Dinner was eaten at Grandpa's house, and the old man's cooking skills were quite high, at least the soup tasted good.
On the table, there were only steamed buns and boiled cabbage with potatoes. Geng Mei mashed the potatoes and mixed them with the rice porridge brought back from her hometown for her daughter to eat. Yu Xun held a spoon, although a bit clumsy, but still managed to feed herself.
Everyone at the dinner table was silently eating, no one said a word, which made Yueting feel a bit strange. It seemed like only old-fashioned families had such customs. Geng Mei didn't speak either, she just ate some herself and then fed Yueting some mushy dishes with her chopsticks.
The meal ended in this eerie atmosphere, Geng Mei cleaned up the table, and Old Master took his grandson to a nearby room to whisper something, Yu Tai couldn't help but feel that this grandfather really doted on his brother.
Her eyes shifted to the side, starting to size up her three uncles at home. Second Uncle Bai Wenyi gave people a warm and elegant feeling. Although his appearance was not as good as her father's or Third Uncle's, he could still be considered quite handsome. His unique temperament easily attracted people's attention, possibly due to his being a student, with a strong scholarly air about him.
The second handsome man in the Bai family should be this third uncle, who is not as handsome as Bai Wenli with a rich and masculine charm, but has a somewhat effeminate appearance. However, he still has some advantages in terms of looks. The only drawback is that he seems to have poor hearing, but it's unclear what caused it.
Fourth uncle is not as good-looking as others, giving her a somewhat sharp and pointed impression. Perhaps it's because of the poor family conditions and lack of nutrition, plus being young and not fully grown yet. Compared to the handsome guys at home, he still falls short by some margin.
"Second brother, isn't it time for you to take the university entrance exam this year? Study hard and strive to get in."
Bai Wengu was smoking and instructing Bai Wenxi.
"Alright, got it, big brother."
Bai Wenyi looked at the book in his hand, didn't raise his head, but nodded very seriously.
Yu Lin sighed involuntarily, how easy it is to take the college entrance examination, in such a remote place, the teacher's strength must be inadequate, the universities in the 1980s were not so easy to enter.
Xiao Si walked up to Lao Er Bai Wen Yi's side and asked in a low voice, "Second brother, I saw the girl from the neighboring village looking for you the other day. What was that about?"
Bai Wenyi knocked his fourth brother and ignored him, continuing to read with his head down.
"Big brother, big sister came back two days ago. I heard that her husband's family is forcing her brother-in-law to divorce big sister."
Bai Wengu's eyes widened as soon as he heard this, and his voice involuntarily rose, "He dares to bully our old Bai family just because we don't have anyone left? What's wrong with not having children? Can people still die from that? In the past, our eldest sister was the flower of the whole team, how could he like her enough to think of dumping her?"
Bai Wenli's face turned red with anger as soon as he heard this, and the third child hastily explained: "Big brother, big sister said that brother-in-law didn't mean it, it was just what the old people at home thought. Big sister said let us not interfere in this matter, she has her own way of thinking."
Yu Xuan thought of that beautiful and lovely elder sister who had encountered such a thing, isn't it just because she didn't have children? There are many couples without kids, breaking up a good marriage for this reason is not quite reasonable.
Geng Mei came over and saw the little girl sitting in her husband's arms, perking up her ears as if listening to adults talk. Although she thought she was overthinking it, that little appearance was too cute, with shiny eyes looking around at everyone.
Bai Wengu saw his daughter-in-law coming in, didn't say a word and sat on the kang staring at her own belly, thinking something was up. He lowered his head to take a look and couldn't help but laugh when he saw the little girl's appearance.
"Hey, hey, hey, take a look at my daughter, doesn't she resemble our big sister?"
Several people in the room finally looked up and carefully sized up Yu Tong, Old Three nodded, "I must say, this little guy really looks like our mother when she was young."
Several others also nodded in agreement, but the fleeting glint in their eyes was clear to Yu Tong. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking that the superstition from back then had left a mark on his brothers' hearts after all.
Bai Wenli doesn't care about this, as long as his own child is lovely and obedient, he thinks it's great, and with a face that resembles her grandmother, she will definitely be a beauty in the future.
"Second brother, you shouldn't stay up too late either, you two should go to bed early too, we'll head back first."
The couple took their child back home, but the old man kept his grandson in his house to sleep together.
