The era is sweet and fried: the widow and her man are back

Chapter 59, On Parents

"Is it really possible?" Xiang Gaoli liked Bai Xingguo, so he didn't want him to make things difficult.

But I look forward to it very much.

"Of course, you still don't believe me." Bai Jiu patted her hand to reassure her.

"Then I'll go back and talk about it?" Xiang Gaoli shyly asked.

"Well, let's talk about it, let's make an appointment to have dinner together again at a fixed time."

Because of Bai Jiu's words, Xiang Gaoli was very restless and couldn't stay any longer, so she left and went home after a while.

When Bai Xinghua came back, Xiang Gaoli had already gone home.

"Big sister, I'm back." Bai Xinghua liked the days when big sister was at home, even if it was only two days.

"I'll eat the food when I get back, and I'll keep the food warm for you." Bai Jiu was folding the quilt in Father Bai's room.

I have bought cotton and so on, but my mother has to come back to make it. All she can do is to fold off the old ones first.

Just put on the four-piece suit she brought back in a while.

The four-piece suit in the space is really rustic, but it is very suitable for this era.

I have to say that the one I bought at the beginning was really delicious.

It's just that there are few quilts at home, and the quilts in the eldest brother's room are all hard and not warm at all, so they still have to be remade.

So she didn't change it anymore, the quilt in the parents' room was okay, which shows that the sons of the Bai family are filial.

"Okay." Bai Xinghua entered the room and took a look, saw the eldest sister helping father change and wash the quilt, scratched his head, and smiled innocently, "Eldest sister Li, has she gone back?"

"Well, I'm going back, don't worry about it so much, go to eat quickly, and boil water for me after eating, I will wash all the clothes from yesterday." There are still many things to do, and I am busy.

"Well, I'll help you later."

"No, you go back to the house to sleep after eating, and the kang in the house has been heated for you. If you haven't slept after the night shift, no matter how good your body is, you can't bear it."

She didn't forget that her younger brother came back after working all day and one night.

Fortunately, I don't have to go to work tonight, I'll go tomorrow morning.

"It's okay, I'm not sleepy."

"You have to go to sleep if you're not sleepy."

While folding the quilt, Bai Jiu vented to Father Bai about what he and Xiang Gaoli had said.

"It's all because of your elder brother these years." After hearing this, Father Bai felt extremely uncomfortable. If it wasn't for the burden of his family, he would not have become what he is now.

"Back then your brother was doing well in his studies. All the teachers said that your brother had a chance to succeed, but no one thought that the change would happen so quickly, let alone your grandfather's death because of it."

Thinking of the past, Father Bai felt lingering fear. If his father hadn't been so cruel back then, the family would have been scattered long ago.

And what Dad hid, alas.

I don't know when I will see the light of day.

"It's okay, brother hasn't given up yet. He has been reading the book, but he doesn't need it now. Maybe the opportunity will come at any time." In this regard, Bai Jiu admired Bai Xingguo very much.

After so many years, he still has a different kind of attachment to books.

If the old saying is true, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.

In two years, it will be time for Big Brother Bai to take off.

He likes books so much, and likes reading so much, he will definitely become an excellent teacher in the future.

"Who knows, but it's fine now. When he gets married, he will have something to look forward to in this life." The most feared thing in life is that there is no hope.

"Father, do you agree to marry the Xiang family?" Bai Jiu asked aloud.

Father Bai smiled wryly, "No one dislikes our family. If there is anything our family disagrees with, it will be very difficult for your elder brother and your younger brother to find a marriage."

Other people's children got engaged at the age of seventeen or eighteen, but his family didn't have a matchmaker even in their early twenties.

Of course, they dare not take the initiative to ask for marriage, because that will only make life at home more difficult.

Bai Jiu understood, "Then let's discuss it after Mother comes back."

"Well, it's time to discuss it." The boss is 27, not seventeen, no matter how much he objects, this time he must let him marry him back.

The girl looked good to him.

Bai Jiu smiled, "Father, take the medicine and take Xiuxiu and the others to take a nap. I'll go out and wash the clothes and quilt."

After receiving the approval letter, Bai Jiu started to get busy.

She is also very afraid of the cold in the winter, so she boiled a lot of hot water and washed it out. After going back and forth, the sky became dark.

Fortunately, she finished washing.

the other side.

As soon as Xiang Gaoli came home, her mother grabbed her ears and cleaned her up.

"How many times have I told you that the Bai family's marriage is not going to work out? Why do you pay him back every day? Now it's all right, and your reputation is ruined."

Looking at her ineffective daughter, Xie Mei really wanted to cry.

How could she give birth to such a dead-hearted thing.

"Mother." Xiang Gaoli was used to the way her mother treated her.

It's not that Mother doesn't love her, but because she loves her too much.

"Brother Bai is very good. I will not marry anyone but him." She had said this countless times.

"Besides, do we have that thing called reputation?" Xiang Gaoli rolled his eyes.

She really didn't have the nerve to say this outside, because her father at home was a butcher, and many people asked her to marry her because of the two taels of meat, which ones were sincere to her.

Some people also said behind her back that she was born with evil spirits, that she was born in a butcher's family, and that her horoscope was too tough, and she would be afraid of Kefukezi when she married back.

"You." Xie Mei was half-dead from anger.

This daughter is really born for nothing, what a girl she was when she was young, sweet and warm, how come she is so... heartbroken when she grows up.

It's not that she is ignorant of the gossip outside, and no one talks about it face to face after cleaning up.

But in private, many people still say that their daughter's life is hard.

Those who came to ask for marriage did have ulterior motives, otherwise they would not have kept their daughters until now.

It is because I love my daughter dearly.

"Then the Bai family is fine. Have you ever thought about how much gossip you will face after you get married?" The Bai family is worse than theirs.

At least the man and son in the family are still very popular.

"That was before." Xiang Gaoli said confidently, so she told her mother what happened today.

After listening, seeing her mother dumbfounded, she was very proud.

"Little sister is amazing. After this trouble, the life of the Bai family will be very easy in the future. At that time, it will be another matter if people don't like their daughter."

"He dares." Xie Mei came back to her senses after listening to her daughter's words, "If Bai Xingguo dares to betray you, I will chop him off with your father's butcher's knife." The cruelty on his face was really scary.

"Hmph, such a powerful sister-in-law is at home, you are sure you will have a good life in the future." But she soon came back to her senses.

The daughter said that the man died and took two children with him. Maybe he will live in his mother's house in the future.

One has no job, two has no food supply, and two children have to be raised. The Bai family originally had little money, but now there are three more people, and life may be even more difficult in the future.

It was just her silly daughter who decided that even ten cows would not be brought back.
