Farmhouse Qiaofei

Chapter 334
Bai Chuanbai still wanted to cry, but he was afraid that old man Bai would think too much, so he could only forcefully stop his tears, and said sadly, "Father, my son is back, and I can eat whatever I want in the future. If I'm sick, let's see... my son is back , I won’t make you suffer any more.”

That afternoon, Bai Chuanbai stayed with Old Man Bai for a long time, until it was dark, and then he reluctantly tucked in the quilt for Old Man Bai and prepared to go home.

"Third brother..." The old man Bai who had just fallen asleep suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed Bai Chuanbai, and said in a daze, "Third brother, it was my father's fault back then, I'm sorry for your family..."

When Bai Chuanbai heard this, tears welled up in his eyes again, because he was afraid of waking up Mr. Bai, so he covered his mouth and dared not cry out.

"Third brother...don't blame daddy..." Old Master Bai muttered twice, finally let go of Bai Chuanbai's hand, and fell into a deep sleep.

Bai Chuanbai sobbed softly as he strode out, and he didn't dare to cry until he reached the gate of Bai's house.

"My child's father..." Wu stroking his back with some distress, "Don't be sad, let's treat the child's father well in the future."

Bai Chuanbai covered his face and wiped his tears, and did not speak. Seeing this, Wu Shi stood beside him, and waited until he calmed down before pulling him into the carriage with Bai Chuanbai.

When the two servant girls also sat in, Zhao Long waved his whip and rushed towards Xieyang County.

Because the journey was really long, Bai Shao leaned her head on Wu Shi's shoulder, talking to her one after another.

At this time, Bai Chuanbai, who hadn't spoken much since he sat in, suddenly spoke in a low voice, "Mother, Shao'er, I have something I want to discuss with you."

"Father, you just have to say something." Mrs. Wu looked at him in surprise, "Since when have we been so polite?"

Bai Chuanbai raised his head, first glanced at Bai Shao, and seeing that there was no abnormality on her face, he mustered up his courage and said in a low voice, "I...I want to bring your grandma to our house...Father... ...He doesn't have much time left, I think...I want to spend more time with him in the last days...Although the old house is also a big brick house, it's too laborious to tidy up, it's better to take your grandma over... ..."

"This..." When Wu Shi heard his words, his eyes widened immediately, but he didn't refute, but subconsciously glanced at Bai Shao.

Because Bai Shao paid for the mansion, Bai Chuanbai and Wu's were watching Bai Shao's face.

"Father, mother." Seeing this, Bai Shao couldn't help laughing bitterly, "Of course it's no problem to bring grandma over here. Although the mansion is not big, we can't live in it..."

Hearing her words, Bai Chuanbai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But at this moment, Bai Shao changed the subject and said something else, "I heard that Uncle has not been doing well these years? If they know about our return... Grandma loves Uncle very much." tight."

This is to prevent Bai Chuanbai - if Bai Chuanqiang asks old man Bai for money in a corner in the future, and old man Bai loves his eldest son to ask Bai Chuanbai for money, then this matter will change, and Bai Shao will I won't bear it anymore.

"This...Of course." Bai Chuanbai forced a smile, although he knew that what Bai Shao said was right, but seeing her so wary of Bai Chuanqiang was still a little unpleasant.

After all, he was his elder brother.

Bai Shao knows his character of remembering good things and not bad ones, so she doesn't care about him, anyway, the words have been said before, if something happens, she will never be soft-hearted.

On the same day, I went back to Bai Mansion in Xieyang County, because I was quite tired after a busy day in the old house, so Bai Shao went to bed after a brief freshening up.

At night, she unexpectedly dreamed of Yan Shu.

The reason why it is called accident is because from the night when she decided to leave him to now, there have been 27 days, and she has never dreamed of Yan Shu for a single day.

But tonight, she dreamed of Yan Shu, and it was a dream - a scene where he was intimate with another woman.

Although she was mentally prepared, when she saw this scene unexpectedly, she couldn't help shaking her hands in anger, and even secretly thought about whether she should go up and kill the couple.

It was at this time that Yan Shu, who was wearing a dragon robe, suddenly lifted the woman's hair on the sideburns lightly, put it close to her ear, and called "Qingqing" softly.

Bai Shao was awakened from here.

Opening her somewhat swollen eyes, she touched the wet corners of her eyes, and shook her head with a wry smile.

Why, obviously in the dream, she didn't shed tears, why are the corners of her eyes moist...

what the hell...

She stretched out her hand, wanting to pat the slightly heavy quilt on her body, but she got goosebumps on her arms because of the cold air.

Oh... so this is Xieyang County.

It was very cold in Xieyang County at the end of November.

Where is it like Yanjing, this season is nothing more than wearing long sleeves and adding an extra layer of obscene clothes.

so cold...

With trembling teeth, Bai Shao retracted her arms, leaving only her head outside, and smiled sarcastically.

When she was in Yanjing before, she always complained that Yanjing was too hot and missed the cool breeze in Xieyang County, but when she really came back here, she missed the warm and humid air in Yanjing.

Also, that hot embrace.

Bai Shao buried her head in the quilt, only feeling that there was something spinning in her eye sockets.

She sniffed, and was about to touch the handkerchief to wipe her tears when she suddenly heard the sound of the door being knocked frantically.

He Xiang, who was lying in the outer room, sat up all of a sudden, put on her clothes in twos and twos, and went to the outer courtyard shivering.

Bai Shao was also curious from the bottom of her heart, but because it was too cold, and her body had not adapted to the cold, so she shrank under the blanket, only waiting for the return of He Xiang.

After about the tea time, He Xiang rushed in in a panic, quickly lit the oil lamp, and said to Bai Shao, "Miss, hurry up, the master and madam are waiting for the lady in the carriage, hurry up. "

"What happened?" Bai Shao asked while frantically getting dressed.

"The old master of the Bai family...is gone." He Xiang said cautiously.

Bai Shao froze on the spot with her clothed hands.

How could it be gone?
Mingming was fine when he left today, Mingming happily drank two bowls of soup for dinner, obviously...

When Bai Shao's family rushed to Shilipu at full speed, the Bai family hung two white lanterns on both sides of the gate - which meant that someone in the family had died.

"Father..." Bai Chuanbai's nervous and fearful heart completely collapsed at this moment, and he rushed to the east room while crying.

Because the family's financial resources were limited, Mr. Bai hadn't bought a shroud and coffin yet, let alone a white cloth to cover his face. As for the two white lanterns at the door of the house, the villagers saw Bai Chuanbai's return and sent them here on purpose to curry favor.

"Father..." Bai Chuanbai hugged the old man Bai's body and cried loudly, "Father, why did you leave? I haven't honored you well yet, and I'm planning to pick you up to live in Xieyang County tomorrow. , why are you old and gone...Dad, my dad..."

Rao Bai Shao was once disheartened towards old master Bai, but hearing Bai Chuanbai crying so much, he still couldn't help but get red eyes.

"Father..." Wu Shi wiped away tears while persuading Bai Chuanbai, "Father, his fourth uncle has gone somewhere, and his uncle hasn't arrived yet. You have to hold on, you have to buy the shroud and coffin... ...you can't just leave it alone."

"I...I know." Bai Chuanbai wiped away his tears, took a second look at old man Bai's face carefully, then stood up, and said in a low voice, "It's already five o'clock. It’s time to open the door, I’m going to go shopping.”

"Hey, I'll take care of you at home, hurry up." Mrs. Wu hurriedly urged him.

Because after this person died, as long as someone with a little money had to bathe and change clothes before putting him in the coffin.

But after death, the body will gradually become stiff. If the body is still soft and the clothes are not bathed and changed, the shroud may not be able to be worn.

It was precisely because Bai Chuanbai knew this that he suppressed his grief and went to buy everything.

Because it was winter, although it was already five o'clock, the sky was still dark.Fearing that something might happen to Bai Chuanbai who was overly sad, Wu insisted on arranging for Zhao Long to follow him.

In this way, the people who stay in Bai's house are basically old and weak women and children.

It's impossible to scrub Mr. Bai's body, but find someone to build a shed, and hang up the door of the main room, etc., still have to be done.

Mrs. Wu wiped away her tears, and was about to go to the main room to ask Mrs. Liu where the old and unused bamboo mats were, and she wanted to find one to hang on the door (local custom).

Only then did Bai Shao notice that since they entered the door, Liu Shi has been sitting in the main room without crying or fussing, watching people coming and going without rolling his eyes, as if he has lost his soul.
