In the evening of this day, when dusk fell, a man wearing a military uniform with an upright posture was carrying a large bag on his back and a travel bag in each hand. He was walking limpingly on the long country road, and then slowly
Walked into Anju Village.
Bai Shanshan was sitting in her room reading a storybook. When she heard a knock on the door, she was frightened and hurriedly hid the storybook in a drawer.
This was borrowed from a classmate. If her eldest brother confiscated it, what would she give it back tomorrow?
Seeing that the knocking on the door was still going on, Bai Shanshan was a little surprised. After hesitating for a moment, she got up and walked out. However, she saw that her elder brother had already opened the door, and then she saw her third brother Bai Linshan, whom she had not seen for many years, standing outside the door.
.
Bai Linshan was excited when he saw Bai Dashan opening the door for him, "Brother, I'm back."
"You guys still know how to come back. Don't you want us poor brothers and sisters?" Bai Dashan stretched out his hand and punched his shoulder. Hearing Bai Linshan's painful gasp, he asked worriedly, "What are you doing?
Are you injured? "
If he had not been injured, he would not have been able to send money to his family for several months. The injury was probably serious. Bai Dashan suddenly felt a little distressed, "You..."
"Brother, I'm fine." Bai Linshan carried the things into the house. When he saw Bai Shanshan standing by the door, he greeted him a little shyly and unfamiliarly, "Shanshan."
He has been away from home for seven years. Bai Shanshan was still a little girl back then, but now she has grown into a big girl.
Bai Shanshan turned her head away angrily, "Humph, you still know how to come back!"
"Shanshan, there are clothes, shoes, and food in that black bag. Go and get it yourself." Because they hadn't seen each other for many years and the relationship was estranged, Bai Linshan didn't know what to say to Bai Shanshan, so he had to send her away.
After leaving, he asked, "Brother, where is the second brother?"
"Your second brother went to the bathroom." Bai Dashan looked at Bai Linshan, still worried, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, I'm really fine." Bai Linshan waved his hand. Even if something really happened, it wasn't now, but at that time. He was indeed seriously injured at the time, but he has almost recovered now.
Bai Dashan poured a glass of boiled water for Bai Linshan and said, "Why did you come back so suddenly? I didn't know how to call you back. I had to prepare my family well! There is nothing now."
"We are a family, and I am not a guest. If you have anything to prepare, this is fine." Bai Linshan smiled, took out a stack of money from his pocket and handed it to Bai Dashan, "Brother, you have been running the family for so many years. You have worked so hard."
Now, you keep the money. You and your second brother need to prepare a house and a bride price when you get a wife. Shanshan also needs a dowry when she gets married. These are not the responsibility of the elder brother alone, but the responsibility of the four of us brothers and sisters."
"Lao San, are you back?" Baiyunshan came over from the bathroom and saw Bailinshan sitting at the table drinking tea. He was very excited.
Bai Linshan nodded, "I'm back. This time I can rest at home for three months."
He plans to use these three months to resolve the marriage issues of his eldest brother and second brother. As for Bai Shanshan, she has not graduated yet, so her marriage issues can be put aside.
After she graduated from high school, she had a high degree of education and it was easy to find a partner. However, her two brothers were not good at it. They were both farmers and had never read a book. It was quite difficult to find a good partner. He had to come back to help her.
Found it.
Bai Dashan said to Bai Yunshan, "Second Brother, go and make some food for Third Brother. He must be hungry by now after a long journey."
Bai Linshan hurriedly held Bai Dashan's hand, and then said to Bai Yunshan, "Second brother, you don't have to cook it for me. In fact, I came out of the state-owned hotel. I met two comrades in the town and we ate together.
Food, I'm not hungry, we can just sit down and talk."
Bai Linshan brought another travel bag to the table, opened it, and took out the contents one by one, "Brother, here is a 30-year-old ginseng. It was given to me by my comrades in the Northeast. If you have it at home in the future,
If you are in urgent need of money, you can sell ginseng for emergencies; these are dried small yellow croakers, dried conches, dried abalones, and dried scallops, which were sent from the hometown of our comrades in arms, and he gave us a little each..."
"You keep it for yourself, why bring it back?" Bai Dashan felt very sorry for Bai Linshan. He left home at the age of fifteen and went to the most difficult and dangerous place. He probably didn't even have a good spot of skin under the military uniform.
"We were eating in the canteen there, and we didn't have the chance to eat by ourselves. Plus, I don't like the fishy smell of seafood at all, so I brought it back for you to try. Maybe you will like it!"
When Li Chengcheng was washing clothes by the river in the morning, he heard the aunts in the village discussing the matter of the third child of the Bai family.
The third son of the Bai family has been in the army for many years, and now he must have been promoted and raised his salary. According to the settings in ordinary period novels, he should be a male protagonist.
But this is not a novel, but real life, so there is definitely no such thing as a protagonist's halo.
But Li Chengcheng is still very interested in this person. Because of the nature of his work, he doesn't go home often. He only comes back once a year and a half, or only once every three to five years. If he can help her transfer her household registration,
, she can do what she wants to do, whether it's studying or making money.
Anyway, he is not at home, and no one can restrain her. I heard that since he has no parents, there will be no conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and she does not need to waste energy on getting along with her.
Thinking of this, Li Chengcheng curiously asked the aunt next to him, "Auntie, does the third son of the Bai family have a partner?"
The aunt looked Li Chengcheng from top to bottom and sneered, "You, too, want to be Bai Laosan's wife? What are you dreaming about? There are so many girls in the village, how could such a good thing happen to you?
Woolen cloth?"
The aunt next door said, "Bai Laosan doesn't seem to have any intention of finding a partner at the moment. I heard that he went to find a matchmaker this morning. He wants to find a partner for his eldest brother first. He will not give her a partner until his eldest brother and two brothers have found a partner.
He can find a partner by himself, but his eldest brother is already so old and doesn’t have much ability. It would be difficult to wait for him to find a partner.”
The aunt who looked down on Li Chengcheng spoke again, "If you can't find a young girl, you can consider widows and divorced women whose husbands have died. Marry one and get one free, or marry one and get two free. If you want to become a father directly, that would be great."
"How can Bai Dashan be as bad as you said? I look at him and he's pretty good. After his parents passed away, he raised his younger brothers and sisters by himself. He also made his younger brother a soldier, his younger sister went to high school, and there were a few others
Can you do it? Can you do it? Can your man do it? Now that Bai Laosan is helping him make arrangements, he will definitely get a wife soon. What are you thinking about here? "
