Rebirth of the Military Family 84: Another Decision

  Sitting in the car, Bai Haoran watched as Bai Wenli drove, the little guy was getting impatient.

  "Dad, why don't you teach me how to drive? When I'm a bit older, I can help you sell things by driving."

  Bai Wenli was indeed spoiled. Bai Haoran didn't expect his dad to teach him a lesson, but unexpectedly, Bai Wenli really stopped the car.

  "Son, watch closely, I'll explain each component to you one by one, what they're used for. Later, you can see how I drive it, and when your mom comes back from selling goods, she'll teach you how to drive."

  Geng Mei's eyelids twitched as she sat at home.

  "What's going on? Could it be that your uncle and his family have received a letter and are starting to miss me?"

  Yu Sai smiled wryly, "Mom, you just sent the letter, how could it be so fast? Are you not sleeping well and your eyelid is twitching?"

  Geng Mei was teased by his daughter and felt a bit embarrassed, "Little girl, you know too much."

  Carrying her daughter, she continued to work in the orchard. Old Lu's wife finished her work and ran over to chat with Geng Mei.

  "Hey, have you heard? Our old Lu saw Jin Defei at the team department with a woman and a child. They looked like a family. Do you think that kid could really be Jin Defei's?"

  This matter Geng Mei cannot confirm for her, seeing is believing, but she can't say this.

  "Who knows? I haven't seen Jin Decai at home for the past two days, he must have gone to the team department. By the way, what does that woman look like?"

  When a woman's gossiping heart is stirred up, she can tear others down from the roots.

  Old Mrs. Lu pouted, "My husband said that kind of woman is not the type to live a peaceful life at all, can't compare with Malianhua, only good-for-nothing like Jin Defu would like that kind of twisted waist and raised buttocks."

  "Hey, I heard that woman was no good from the start. Our relatives used to go gold panning too, and they said she was already with Jin De Cai back then. Can you believe a decent woman would do such a thing?"

  Old Mrs. Lu knew almost as much as Yu Tong and the others, but Yu Tong was just curious about what that woman looked like.

  "Auntie, did Uncle Lu say whether that woman was pretty or ugly?"

  Old Mrs. Lu listened to the sound of the rain and opened her mouth, laughing "Hehe", "Look, even your family's maid is curious."

  Actually, I heard Old Man Lu say that the woman's heavy makeup made it impossible to see what she really looked like.

  But judging from appearance alone, it's definitely better than Marlene Flower. If it's worse than her, even your neighbors can't do that stupid thing."

  Geng Mei sighed, "What's going to happen to Malan Flower's life from now on? There are still two sons at home, and if Jindecai really has a child outside, you say one big and one small, can this family be peaceful?"

  As women, both of them felt sympathetic towards Malan Hua's situation, but neither of them could help her with this matter.

  Two women with eight trigrams were working there, sighing and lamenting as they worked.

  Yu Xi didn't have the time to listen to their idle chatter, so he went into the forest and poured some water into his family's irrigation ditch. He also picked some snow lotus from the space.

  As she gazed at the newly planted seeds, she casually picked a Snow Lotus and took a bite. The flavor of the petals was surprisingly refreshing, slightly sweet, with a hint of medicinal fragrance. After eating it, her entire body felt invigorated, as if her blood vessels were refreshed. Despite having cultivated Snow Lotuses for so long, this was her first time tasting one - the flavor wasn't bad at all.

  As far as she knows now, this snow lotus can cure diseases like stroke, and the others have no effect yet.

  Bai Xinyi had also drunk the spring water from the space when she was at their house, but so far, her body hadn't changed much. It seemed that this water could only strengthen one's physique and make them healthier at most.

  As for whether Snow Lotus can cure Bai Xinyi's infertility, she hasn't tried it yet, but next time when she goes to her aunt's house, she plans to try the method used by Bai Wenli last time.

  At noon, Bai Wenli brought his son back, the car was full of goods, and Bai Haoran's hands were still holding a string of beef, probably just bought from someone.

  "Mom, I learned how to drive with Dad today."

  Bai Haoran excitedly reported his achievements today to Geng Mei, but when he heard it as a mother, her heart was worried.

  "Lao Bai, what's wrong with you? The kid is so young and you still dare to let him drive. Aren't you afraid of something going wrong?"

  I said, early in the morning, I had a twitching eyelid, which means you two are doing something bad outside.

  Bai Wengu saw his wife start nagging and quickly put his arm around Geng Mei's shoulder.

  "You, don't worry about things that are not certain, what can I let the kid do? Look at our side, it's all wilderness and empty land, how can he learn to drive? There's no one and no cars, even if he wants to hit someone, he can't find anyone. You just put your heart at ease, when have I ever done anything unreliable?"

  Geng Mei muttered in disbelief, "You've never done anything unreliable before, but how come I think what you're doing now is unreliable?"

  "Let me tell you, I don't mind teaching you, but when the kid is driving, you must be by their side, they're too young, what if something happens, we'll regret it to death."

  Mom has her own reasons, but Bai Wengli thought to himself, "Wife, hurry up and cook dinner, we've been busy all morning, our stomachs are almost starving."

  As long as he uses this trick, Geng Mei, who is heartbroken for the child, will definitely not nag again.

  It really works, seeing the little woman rush into the kitchen and start busy, Bai Wenli smiled at his son with a pleased smile.

  Yu Tai hurried over, "Dad, you're really cunning, but where are you planning to sell this batch of goods?"

  Bai Wengui looked at the little fox girl, this young lady usually didn't ask about his business, today she asked, definitely had some thoughts in her mind.

  The old fox gazed at the little fox, one smiling and the other with rolling eyes.

  "What's on your mind again, little girl?"

  Hehe, a slight smile, his little thoughts had already been seen through, so he didn't hide them anymore.

  "Dad, you said my elder sister has been married for so long, shouldn't we go visit her?"

  Bai Wenli smiled and nodded, "Mmm, that makes sense. So, this time Dad plans to go to Urumqi to sell things, and it's also a good opportunity to visit your aunt."

  Yu Tong gazed at Bai Wenli with eager eyes, hoping he would take them across.

  Look at your sister's attitude, Bai Wenguang took a deep breath and said, "This time I'll take you and your brother with me, let your mom stay home to watch the house. Hurry up and go back to your room to pack, we're leaving early tomorrow morning."

  Yu Yu thought of something and quietly approached Bai Wenli's ear, "Dad, I still have some seeds left, how about giving them to Big Aunt to try?"

  The little thoughts of the young lady, Bai Wenli naturally understood, but the child can have this heart, he is quite contented, whether or not to cure his sister's illness, also depends on fate, and not all illnesses will be cured by eating this thing, but it's worth a try anyway.

  "Pinch the little girl's face, 'You quickly go get it, Dad will hurry up and grind it into flour. This way your aunt won't know what it is either. If it can cure her, that's even better. If not, no big deal, your eldest aunt has already mentally prepared herself.'"

  Not wanting to say anything disappointing to the child, Bai Wenli still comforted Yu Tong with a gentle touch.

  She also knew in her heart that Snow Lotus was not omnipotent. Since the spring water could make plants mature quickly, it was already incredible enough. If Snow Lotus could cure all diseases, it would be too against heaven.

  Back home, I took out the seeds and handed them over to Bai Wenli. There weren't many, too many would have been suspicious.

  "Dad, if the snow lotus I planted can bloom, I'll pick some and make wine for you to drink."

  Bai Wengui smiled and said, "Little thing, it's still unknown when your kind will sprout, who knows, even if they do sprout, they might still get eaten by insects."

  "Snow lotus, why do you have to grow on the snowy mountain? Because there are fewer insects over there, and there's no harm, so you can slowly grow up. Don't worry too much about this."

  Although Bai Wengu didn't want to discourage the child's enthusiasm, he couldn't forget to impart some knowledge to his daughter. He thought that if she had too high hopes and was disappointed later on, it would be even more painful for her. It was better to make things clear now rather than letting the child suffer a blow later.

  Yu Tong laughed and leaned on the back of Bai Wenguang, "Dad, maybe I can still grow it successfully. If I really succeed, we must save one for ourselves to taste, let everyone in our family try what Snow Lotus tastes like."

  Bai Wen's funny and lovely expression as she played with the seeds, her belly was bursting with laughter, causing her back to shake along with it. Their family's little girl is really adorable, just like a little old lady, thinking of everything and daring to think of anything, truly a child indeed.

  "Come on, by then your dad will be able to bask in the glory of our family's Yu Tai, and we can also taste that expensive Snow Lotus to see what it tastes like. Who knows, maybe after eating it, I'll become an immortal."

  The father and daughter had a few words of nonsense, Bai Haoran crouched by the kitchen waiting for the dishes to be ready.

  Geng Mei couldn't help but reach out and tap her son's forehead as she saw him drooling, "Little thing, you're hungry, right? Just wait a bit."

  The family was about to have dinner when Bai Wensheng arrived, but this time he didn't drive a car, instead he rode his bicycle.

  "Fourth elder brother? How did you come here, why didn't you drive?"

  Bai Wenxian smiled wryly, "Brother, that car is almost scrap metal. If we repair it, it'll cost more than what you bought it for. I might as well sell it as junk. As a result, I've got nothing to do, so I came over to take a look."

  Yu Sai stood by with a cold eye, this young uncle usually spoke vaguely and ambiguously, last time she saw the car was fine, how did it break down so quickly?

  Bai Wengui nodded, "Yes, originally when I bought it, it was almost scrap metal. It's already worth it that it can run for so long. How about this, I'll let you use my current car, but when hauling goods, you still have to help me out. Next time, I'll give you some gas money, and in the future, you'll also have a way to make a living."

  Bai Wenshen felt a bit uneasy in his heart. He came over today mainly thinking about the car of his elder brother. The last time, that car wasn't as mysterious as he said it was. It had problems, but recently he lost money gambling and had no choice but to pawn this broken-down car.
