Rebirth of the Military Family 62: Accidental Discovery

  "Ge Mei, when you have time later, take more care of this child, after all, he is Lao Er's precious son. No matter what, he is also the grandson of our old Bai family. We can take care of him as much as we can."

  Geng Mei nodded, "That's right, just because of the child calling her a big mom, I'll be more fond of him. Alas, no matter how much I love Haochen, unfortunately, I'm not his mother after all."

  The Bai family's apples are easy to sell. In the summer, there are people who come to buy and eat apples from other families, but they all know that the apples produced by the Bai Wenguang family are delicious. So as long as it's time, they will rush over to ask if winter apples are for sale.

  Geng Mei didn't hide it either, and told them about their family's situation of only being able to sell smaller apples.

  "Everyone, don't look at the apples being a bit smaller in size, but the taste is not bad at all. You all try it and see, if you think it's suitable then buy some, if not I won't force you because we have a purchasing task, so we can only sell these kinds of apples. Don't mind, okay?"

  Geng Mei said clearly, how could people around here not know their tradition? "Hehe, big sister, rest assured, we all know the situation."

  Everyone who came over had tried the apples brought by Geng Mei, to be honest, they were much better than the summer apples, it was like having one bite and wanting another.

  So people who come over to see apples are actually buying apples and leaving, and they have their own publicity, so the white family's apples don't need to worry.

  Lao Lu and his family's apples ripened a bit later. By the time the Bai family had almost finished picking their apples, theirs just started to turn red.

  Things on the mountain were settled, and Bai Wengu also didn't need to live in the orchard anymore. He moved back home and started delivering the prepared apples to his good friends who often came to help with household chores. Since they had a lot of apples at home, there was no need to buy any, so he just gave them away as a kind gesture, which wasn't worth much money anyway.

  At night, the couple counted their accounts and even Yu Lin felt that their income was not bad. According to current consumption standards, they were now considered a well-off family of over 10,000 yuan. However, Geng Mei still reminded them anxiously, "When you two go out, don't talk nonsense, what if others ask if our family has money or not?"

  Bai Wenguang smiled at his wife, Yu Xuan looked at her mother's appearance and chuckled, "Mom, I'm not stupid, if others ask me, I'll just say I don't know and that's it. But what I suspect is whether you two can take care of our family's money, or will you lend out other people's money? The money from the person who got sick last time hasn't been returned yet, has it?"

  Yu Sai asked, and Geng Mei also remembered this matter "Old Bai, has his family repaid the money? I haven't received it here. Why don't you go and urge them? This money has been borrowed for a year, what's going on should be communicated to us?"

  Bai Wengui scratched his head, "Geng Mei, last time I ran into the big soldier, their family is indeed having a hard time for now, how about we slow down?"

  As soon as she heard that the other family didn't have much money, Geng Mei's tone naturally softened, "Then let's not for now, they're not easy either."

  Yu Xuan took a glance at the couple, and thought to herself that they didn't seem like the type who managed their finances well. She started thinking carefully, recalling from her past life that at this time, savings accounts still had interest subsidies. Not to mention other things, just the interest rate alone was absolutely high, all above 8%.

  She didn't plan to take action for the time being, but she had to help the couple keep an eye on their money. Otherwise, with their kind intentions, they wouldn't have enough money to lend out no matter how much they had.

  When lending money to future generations, one is a big brother, but when asking for the money back, it's like being someone else's grandson and still can't get their own money back.

  "Dad, keeping money at home isn't suitable either. Why don't we deposit it instead? We can even earn interest that way. If someone unrelated comes to borrow money, you'll also have an excuse."

  Bai Wengu was somewhat surprised by this young woman's understanding of money, and she even knew that banks had interest.

  Amusedly picking up Yu Tong, "Girl, where did you know this from?"

  Yu Sai won't tell her that he already knew in his past life, shaking his head and saying "When Aunt Lu and the others were talking, I was listening on the side, Dad, your daughter is clever."

  Yu Xuan didn't humble herself, otherwise she would have to continue explaining that she was smart and had many things to do, it's better to just think of herself as a clever little kid. However, after her rebirth, she felt that this brain was much more useful than in her previous life.

  In order to avoid the money at home being borrowed out by these two spendthrifts, Yu Tong had been persuading them to save money.

  Geng Mei didn't have much of an opinion, "Old Bai, why don't we listen to our daughter's words and save a few more years? We can set aside the money we need for next year and also put away the money from selling gold as fixed deposits. I calculated it and the interest is quite high."

  Bai Wenhui has his own thoughts, he's been poor for almost half his life, this time finally having money, shouldn't they also enjoy it a bit.

  "Geng Mei, why don't we buy a colour TV? I see many people in our unit have already bought one. We're not short of money now either. Why don't we just buy one back and take a look?"

  Geng Mei didn't have much of an opinion on buying a color TV, and besides, before getting married she was still an art enthusiast. However, after getting married, there wasn't such an opportunity anymore. If the family bought a TV, it would be just right to listen to music and watch plays.

  "You handle this matter, I'll leave you the money to buy a TV, and I'll deposit it tomorrow."

  After persuading her parents, Yuexi finally felt a sense of relief. To say that they are not worried about food now, but who knows what will happen in the future? It's still better to save more money.

  Furthermore, as the two of them grow older, their expenses will only continue to increase. In a few years, prices will really skyrocket. Having seen the couple's hard work for this whole year, she cannot bear to let her parents' hard-earned money be borrowed without any news or updates.

  Lao Lu rushed over and saw the father and daughter fiddling with something in a flower pot.

  Can't help but laugh, "Old Bai, you're getting more and more like a kid, playing with mud! Listen, I've got something to say. Our few families have been contracted to manage the orchard for several years now, and we've made some progress. I discussed it with the others, no matter how much, don't you think we should treat ourselves to a meal?"

  Lao Lu's intention is that Bai Wenli doesn't understand, he just doesn't bother to take the lead, and he's not clear about what others think, so don't do good deeds for nothing.

  "Haha, Brother Lu, this idea of yours isn't bad, it's okay. I'll pay the share of money, what to do next is up to you, big brother."

  Lao Lu pulled Bai Wenli aside and said a few words, then Yueting heard her father's voice of agreement.

  After Old Lu left, Yu Tong looked at Bai Wenli and said slowly, "Dad, I don't object to drinking at the banquet, but you mustn't get drunk. I don't want what happened last time to happen again."

  Bai Wenli didn't understand what his daughter meant, and he nodded with a hint of amusement. "Don't worry, kiddo, Dad won't get drunk. You wait for your mom to come back home, I'll be going out with Uncle Lu later."

  Although he knew his daughter was clever and capable, Bai Wengu still couldn't help but worry, so he asked Malan Flower to help take care of her.

  Bai Wengu left for a short while, and Jin Defei, who had been away for almost a year, returned with a group of brothers, looking proud and arrogant.

  Yu Sai agreed that Ma Lianhua would stay at home and behave herself, although she hadn't gone out, but she could see the bustle in the Jin family's courtyard.

  It had been a year since they last saw each other, and Jin Decai was indeed darker than before, but she found that this guy had actually gained weight, which made her somewhat puzzled. Every time Geng Mei and the others went out and came back, they were always dark and thin, so why was this person's situation different from that of her parents?

  The lively scene in the neighboring courtyard didn't escape her notice. Seeing Jin De's smug expression, she thought that Old Jin must have made a fortune, otherwise what did he have to be so pleased about?

  This time Jin De Cai came back and should have brought a lot of things. In the house, Ma Lian Hua was busy making food for her family's old men and his subordinates. The fragrance in the kitchen had already floated into their courtyard, not to mention that there were not only meat smells but also some fragrances she couldn't identify. It is estimated that Jin De Cai didn't buy less.

  When Geng Mei came back, the neighbors next door had already started drinking and eating meat in big bowls. Ma Lianhua also didn't forget to help her neighbor when this man was not at home, and brought over a large bowl of pork ribs.

  "Wow, sister-in-law, you look so happy and radiant! Has your big brother returned?"

  Geng Mei had already guessed when she heard the loud voices in their house.

  Ma Lianhua was all smiles, as if she had taken some kind of stimulant, and pulled Ge Mei along to pester their masters into buying her something nice.

  Geng Mei has been guarding an empty house for almost a year now, and she can understand what this woman is thinking in her heart.

  "Sister-in-law, you can finally relax now that your brother has returned. You don't have to suffer anymore, and good days are waiting for you ahead."

  This was music to Ma Lianhua's ears. She had a tough time this year, and as a woman with two children, she couldn't compare to the comfort of having her husband at home.

  After sending off Ma Lianhua, Yu Xiang told her that Bai Wenli was going out for a drink.

  "Mom, let's just have a simple meal at noon, it's just the two of us left. Wait until this afternoon when my brother comes back, then we can cook something delicious. Leave this ribs for my brother to eat, I don't know what he has become like now."

  Geng Mei looked at her daughter frowning and still worried about her son's appearance, which was adorable no matter how you looked at it. "Daughter, Mom bought meat, and will make braised pork for your brother to eat tonight, and the ribs are for you."

  But in the end, Yu Ting left the bowl of ribs for Bai Haoran.

  In the evening, the three mothers were eating dinner when suddenly there was a power outage. Yu Tong let out a sigh, the biggest drawback of this place is that the electricity cuts off from time to time.

  Geng Mei took out a kerosene lamp and lit it. "Come on, don't just stand there, hurry up and eat your meal, or it'll get cold."

  Bai Wengui went out to dinner and didn't come back until evening, Geng Mei guessed that he had also been invited for the night, otherwise according to her husband's temper, he would definitely return home for dinner.

  At night, the Jin family was no longer as lively as it was during the day. When Yu Shui returned from the toilet, he heard a sound in the Jin family's courtyard. He secretly peeked over the wall and found that Jin De Cai was digging a hole in the courtyard under the moonlight.

  Some people didn't quite understand why this man was doing this at midnight, but she still watched for a while. However, when she saw Jin Youcai putting something into the hole he had dug, she had a guess in her mind - could it be that this guy was burying gold in the yard?
