In this way, Lu Mingzhong has not changed. Of course, saying that a dog cannot change from eating shit is an insult to Su Yian. He should be treated as a toad on his feet. He is indeed a rude person.

In this world, everyone plays double standards and is extremely malicious towards women, including women against women, so Su Yian will not tell the Chu family about Lu Mingzhong's disgusting behavior, let alone outsiders.

Although Chu's father's birthday was unpleasant, as the days passed, Su Yian ran to Sujiacun every day again.

On this day, Su Yian was busy working in the factory, and it was time to deliver goods. In order to save labor, loading and unloading were done by a few women who were not in the workshop.

Xiangnan (Goudan) and Xiangxi (Mancang) ran in tandem, panting.

"Second aunt, second aunt, second grandma wants you to go home. Some people are driving a beibei."

Beibei is a metaphor for cars in rural areas.

Li Ying pushed Su Yian and said, "Go back and take a look. You are my uncle and aunt's boss."

Su Yian took off his apron and said, "Then I'll go back and ask Li Xingping to be careful on the road and seal it tightly."

"Don't worry, it's not the first time."

Su Yian hurried back and found a Santana car parked at the entrance of the alley.

At this time, Santana was no less rich and noble than BMW and Land Rover in later generations.

I just don’t know what the reason is for someone with this status to come to her house.

Isn't the person standing in the middle of the yard none other than Factory Director Hu?

"Director Hu, are you here to inspect the new factory?"

"Not exactly, Xiao Su, let me tell you some news. I might be your cousin."

How could Su Yian believe that she had such an old cousin? If that was the case, it would be a coincidence that he was too clever to be rich.

Su Yian walked into the house. Her parents were there, as well as an elderly woman with gray hair on her temples.

"Mom, what happened?"

As if she had found a backbone, Bai Hongmei grabbed Su Yian's hand, pointed at the elderly woman and said, "She, she said she is your aunt."

That is Bai Hongmei's sister.

In terms of appearance alone, the two people don't have much in common.

The elderly woman probably noticed Su Yian's confusion and said, "I look like my father, your mother looks like my mother, and my mother is very beautiful."

After saying that, the elderly woman took out a black-and-white photo from her pocket. In the photo, it looked like a family photo. The couple were about thirty years old. The man was wearing a suit and tie, and the woman was wearing a cheongsam and gold jewelry.

There were five children, one, two, three, and four, lined up around him.

The elderly woman pointed to the adults in the photo and said, "This is my father, and that is my mother. Take a closer look to see if they look like them."

There is indeed some similarity in appearance, but this is not enough to prove that Bai Hongmei is the child of this family and that the two are related by blood.

The elderly woman said: "My surname is Bai, too, and my name is Bai Yueji."

Even the names have the same purpose.

"Aunt... (This person may be my mother's sister. Although she is old enough to be a grandmother, she still can't call her out) If my mother is really your sister, how did she come to Sujia Village?"

Bai Shaoting is the second eldest son of the Bai family, whose ancestral home is Anyang, Lunan. He has been doing business with his father since he was a child. Before he was twenty, he opened two large shops in the provincial capital of Lunan, selling traditional pastries and cloth garments. At the age of twenty-two,

So he married Zhang Ruolan, the daughter of the shop next door.

The couple have a very good relationship and have given birth to three boys, two girls and five children. Bai Shaoting works hard for his wife and children outside, while Zhang Ruolan takes care of her husband and raises her children at home, and they are happy together.

But the good times did not last long. A certain person who was not good at foreign wars and good at civil wars carried out a bloody suppression of the revolutionary masses. Especially after the massacre, the people were in dire straits. Their stomachs were not full, so who would patronize these shops? Seeing that business could not continue,

Bai Shaoting packed up his gold and silver and prepared to take his wife and children back to his hometown in Anyang, Lunan. With the protection of his family, life would be easier.

It was less than 300 kilometers from the provincial capital to Anyang, but it took half a month of hard work. When I got back to Anyang, all the gold and silver had been looted by checkpoints one after another. Except for a family of seven, they couldn't take out a single fortune.

Fortunately, people suffered a little and were relatively safe.

The Bai family still has some ancestral property and savings. Relying on this wealth, the Bai family has been able to survive for several more years.

When Bai Yueji was seventeen years old, she married a revolutionary soldier, Director Hu's father. She also joined the revolution and worked as a nurse in a field hospital, leaving home ever since.

In the past three years, there has been a drought in Lunan, and after the Chinese New Year there was a locust plague. The locusts passed through the border and grains were not harvested. The Bai family has a total of six rooms, and there are more than 40 adults and children. These past few years have been difficult.

On that day, after the locust plague, the more than 70 acres of land they depended on for survival had not been harvested. How to survive was a problem.

How serious is the problem? Every day we see people dying of starvation, and those who are still alive are sallow and thin.

In order to find a way for their children to survive, Bai Shaoting took his second son and youngest son, and Zhang Ruolan took his eldest son and youngest daughter (the eldest son was brought with him to have someone to look after him on the road) and fled separately.

After walking for nearly a month, we arrived at the border of Yidong.

Even if there was no disaster at that time, life was still very tight, not to mention there were too many victims, so Zhang Ruolan could only get very little. Along the way, she relied on her eldest son to dig wild vegetables, and if she was lucky, she could catch a fish to satisfy her hunger.

Seeing that the eldest son could no longer hold on, and the younger daughter was dying, and no one could survive like this, Zhang Ruolan had no choice but to knock on the door of a house with her younger daughter on her back.

As for what she exchanged for her little daughter, the old lady has kept silent until now. She is over eighty years old and eats fasting and chants Buddha's name all day long.

When the country was liberated, Bai Yueji found her family in her hometown. Her father was no longer there. He died on the way to escape famine in order to save food rations for his two sons; the eldest brother became a soldier, the second brother was stupid, and the youngest brother was killed by a kindhearted

She was taken in by someone, studied and went to university, and came back last year to find her bride.

The old mother was like a living dead, and she might not speak a word for a whole day.

Bai Hongmei had burst into tears. Although her memory of that period was vague, she vaguely remembered one thing. Her mother carried her to a house, and the aunt of that house gave her a bowl of sweet potato rice. It was not watery but dry.

, there were a few grains of rice in it, and this was the fullest she had eaten at that time.

After eating, my mother said: "Ni, are you sleepy? If you are sleepy, just take a nap. This bed is really soft."

Bai Hongmei always slept in the open, finding a haystack to fall asleep. This time she really listened to her mother's words and lay down and fell asleep.

When she woke up again, where was her mother? Apart from her aunt and two brothers, there was no one else.

Bai Hongmei cried.
