When the explosion occurred, Bai Xi walked into the main hall.
Liyin Xun was chatting with Ji Houliang. When she saw Bai Xi, she was surprised and said, "Xiao Xi, why did you come back first? Where is Xue Qi?"
"I met the media when I was in the mall, and they were interviewing her." Bai Xi explained.
"She is a socialite, representing fashion, wealth, status, and upper class society. Many media like to interview her. Plus she is engaged to Ling Qing, and now she is almost a household name." Liyin Xun said with satisfaction.
Bai Xi did not answer her words.
Liyin Xun continued: "You are tired. I made rock sugar snow pear. It is easy to get angry this season. Drinking some is good for your health. I will bring it to you."
"I'll go with you." Bai Xi said, squatting down in front of Tiantian, "You play here for a while, mom and aunt have something to say."
Tiantian nodded and looked at Ji Houliang with a smile, "Grandpa, do you still dare to play chess with me?"
Ji Houliang raised the position of the newspaper, covered his face, and ignored Tiantian.
Tiantian said, "Humph, are you afraid of losing?"
"Am I afraid of losing?" Ji Houliang put down the newspaper, "I won't play with you until I agree not to be lazy."
"Grandpa, you have been playing for many, many years. I am just a child, and I have just learned. If you want me to play five chess pieces, let me play five chess pieces, and I will stop being lazy." Tiantian said confidently.
"Okay, I'll give you five chess pieces. You can't be lazy." Ji Houliang said uneasily and led Tiantian to the study.
Bai Xi handed the card to Liyin Xun, "I have no use for the money in it. I'll give it back to you. I don't need it."
Liyin Xun frowned, "Take this money and buy some nice clothes. Your previous clothes were not from the same brand, right? I will take you to meet those friends. If you wear too shabby clothes, I will be laughed at."
"
Bai Xi put the card into Liyin Xun's hand, "If you're afraid of laughing, don't take me out. Also, can the surgery be arranged as soon as possible, preferably within the next two days."
Liyin Nettle looked at Bai Xi with dark eyes, "Our Xiao Xi is still so kind."
"Everyone has a bottom line, don't put your thoughts on Tiantian, she is more important than my life." Bai Xi reminded.
"How could it be? Tiantian is your child and also my niece. She still looks so much like you when you were a child. I will use all my connections to help her and give her a bright future. I promise." Liyin Xun
Said with a smile.
"When will the surgery be scheduled?" Bai Xi got straight to the point.
"I asked the doctor that you need to take medicine for a week before the operation."
Bai Xi frowned, "So it will be a week later?"
"That's it." Liyin Xun looked at Bai Xi with a confused look on her face, "What worries do you have?"
"My supermarket will open on October 11th." Bai Xi said with twinkling eyes, worried.
"Today is the 4th, and in a week it will be the 11th. I can wait until your supermarket opens before performing the surgery. Isn't that just right?" Liyin Xun said.
It's just right, as long as nothing happens to her and she finds a way to get through it safely.
"Then let's do this for now. Do you need me to go to the hospital first?" Bai Xi asked.
"Tomorrow. Also, Xiao Xi, I don't want to disturb the crowd for tomorrow's worship ceremony. It's best not to be known by those people in the village. After all, rumors and other things can easily be caught." Liyin Xun said.
Bai Xi stopped and asked, "What do you mean?"
"It takes four hours to drive to City A from here. We will go to the hospital tomorrow morning and set off in the afternoon. It happens to be evening when we get there, and there will be no people at night. After the worship, I will rush back overnight to prevent unforeseen events."
Liyin Xun said.
Bai Xi's eyes gradually lost warmth, "If you don't want to worship, don't go. There's no need for formalism. Grandma also knows if you're not sincere."
"It's not that I don't want to worship, I just want to be cautious. I'm just afraid that you will think too much, so I told you the arrangements in advance. Xiao Xi, you have misunderstood me." Liyin Xun said.
Bai Xi twitched the corner of his mouth, "It doesn't matter to you whether I misunderstand you or not. What matters most to you is whether Ji Houliang misunderstands you or not. If you don't go to pay homage to your grandma, Ji Houliang will
Liang will also think you are unkind and unjust."
"Xiao Xi, why are you like this now? You are so sarcastic and difficult to get along with." Liyin Xun became angry and became stern.
Bai Xi looked at her angry face and drooped his eyes, "The you you are now are the you I know well. It's not how I became like this, but I have always been like this. I won't help you with it anymore. Why?
Auntie, please bring it to me."
Bai Xi turned around.
"Since you have decided to have a bone marrow transplant, do you think it is necessary to say such ugly words to make me angry? If you don't say these things and just obey, please, and be well-behaved, I will like you even more and help you.
I am more willing to help you." Liyin Xun stood behind Bai Xi and said expressionlessly.
Bai Xi didn't look back, "If I am useful to you, I don't have to do anything. You will naturally be interested in me. If I am useless, you will abandon me after hesitation. If you don't abandon me, you don't want to."
Ji Houliang knows your true nature, and if I don't please you, what's the point. Besides, I don't want to get help from you at all. After the transplant operation, I don't need to see you again."
"Bai Xi, your proud temper will make you suffer one day." Liyin Xun said with a cold face.
Bai Xi didn't reply to her. She was in a bad mood now and didn't want to be seen every day, so she walked towards the unused room.
She opened a room at random, which seemed to be a grocery room, with many cardboard boxes piled up. In the corner, there was a long bench, and next to the bench was a large vat.
The top of the vat was covered with a straw hood, and the aroma of wine seeped out from inside.
Bai Xi subconsciously opened the straw hijab. The aroma of wine filled her nose and made her eyes turn red.
When she was a child, her grandmother took her and her mother to make rice wine. The rice wine at first was sweet and delicious. She always sneaked to the wine vat to steal the wine and drank it. Her mother found out and beat her.
Grandma felt very sorry for her. Not only did she not blame her, but when the fermented rice wine became spicy and choked her and she felt it was not good to drink, grandma used a basin to make sweet white wine for her to drink.
She missed her grandma's sweet liquor, so she scooped up a bowl and took a sip.
The rice wine seems to have just been made. It is still sweet and delicious. When you drink a bowl, there is a crunch.
Someone comes in.
I don’t know who that person is, but he is blocked by a cardboard box and seems to be rummaging through something.
He flipped through it for a while, and it was noisy.
Bai Xi put the bowl back into the jar, stretched his neck, looked over his head, and saw Ji Chenling.
Ji Chenling also saw her and was stunned for a moment...
