Return to 1988: Beginning with a marriage robbery, the rich are soaring

Liang Bai drove home and passed by Wang Benfu's house. He was raking the dried wheat in the farm dam.

"Xiao Liang is back!"

Wang Benfu hammered a rake and greeted him with a smile.

"Uncle Wang is raking wheat again!" Liang Bai responded with a smile.

Over the past few days, Liang Baikai and Xu Qingqing walked in and out of his house, and the two families became familiar with each other.

When people in this era meet, they always talk in vain, which is considered a special kind of emotional communication.

Wang Benfu said: "Come sit at home and have a sip of tea."

Liang Bai said: "I won't sit down anymore, go home."

Wang Benfu said: "You don't have anyone at home, why are you in a hurry?"

Liang Baikai was startled for a moment, "Qingqing is not at home?"

Wang Benfu said: "She went out earlier and told me that when you asked when you came back, she said she went to the restaurant."

Liang Bai thanked him and said, "Then I'll come to your place and sit for a while."

Wang Benfu was overjoyed, threw away the rake in his hand, and happily welcomed Liang Baikai into the side room next to the main room.

The side room is not sunny, and the room is a little dark, but very cool.

When Liang Bai came into the house, Huang Lanzhi was resting in the room. Seeing Liang Bai come in, she quickly stood up and gave up her seat. She also brought a ceramic tea cup and said, "It's cool and white inside. It's hot and I won't make tea for you."

Liang Baikai took it and said with a smile: "Good Liang Baikai!"

After saying that, he couldn't help but smile.

This sounds like you are praising yourself.

He took an embarrassed sip and said, "This water is so sweet."

Wang Benfu handed over a large one to the front door and said, "This is brought from a bowl of water by Ping Ping."

Liang Baikai knew that a bowl of water was the name of a small place where there was a natural well shaped like the mouth of a huge bowl, hence the name.

Most Shicheng people know that a bowl of well water is sweet and refreshing. Whether it is this era or later generations, many old Shicheng people go there to "carry" water home for drinking.

He smiled and said: "After running so far and carrying water back, Xiaoping is really not afraid of hard work."

The well with a bowl of water is at least four or five miles away from Wang Benfu's home. It would take an hour to go back and forth with nothing, so he just had to carry a bucket of water back. He couldn't do this kind of thing anyway.

Wang Benfu took a puff of cigarette and said with a smile: "Young man, if you are idle at night, you might as well carry a bucket of water back, just for exercise."

Liang Baikai was surprised: "You still carry it at night?"

Wang Benfu said: "The sun is so strong during the day that the back of the water is burned by the sun."

Liang Baikai thought about it, and he could only say that even though he had been a man for two generations, he had no life experience in this area, so he spoke in layman's terms.

Just as he was about to praise Wang Xiaoping, Huang Lanzhi said with a smile: "Xiao Liang, a bowl of well water is not only sweet and sweet, it is said to be able to cure all kinds of diseases. Drinking it is very good for the body. When Ping Ping comes back in the afternoon, I asked him to carry a bucket to your house at night."

Liang Baikai quickly declined: "No, no, no!"

Huang Lanzhi said: "They are all from the neighbors, so what's the point? It's settled, let Pingping carry a bucket for your family tonight."

Liang Baikai said: "Aunt, you really don't need it."

Huang Lanzhi said: "Why not? You and Qingqing just got married! Do you plan to have a son? I tell you, if you drink a bowl of water, you will definitely have a son!"

Wang Benfu nodded aside: "When I was pregnant with Pingping, I went to fetch a bowl of water every day. Later, I gave birth to a boy."

He sighed and continued: "When I was pregnant with Xiaohong, I was busy at that time and didn't go there to fetch water. As a result... otherwise, I would have two sons now!"

Liang Baikai was speechless for a while. Isn't it good to have a son and a daughter?

Why do you have to have two sons?

He said, "Auntie, having a boy or a girl has nothing to do with the water you drink. Don't be superstitious."

"Besides, I would rather have a daughter!"

Wang Benfu and Huang Lanzhi were both stunned and looked at Liang Baikai with disbelief.

Wang Benfu said: "Xiao Liang, only by giving birth to a son can we continue the family lineage. After all, having a daughter is from another family."

It is normal for people in this era to favor boys over girls.

Liang Baikai was not surprised, but in his heart, he really wanted to have a daughter.

Daughter, but daddy’s little cotton-padded jacket is the most heart-warming.

He couldn't help but recall that in his previous life, when Xu Qingqing committed suicide by jumping into the river, she lost one body and two lives.

Although she didn't know whether she was pregnant with a boy or a girl, it at least meant that Xu Qingqing was pregnant.

Since she was pregnant in the previous life, there is no reason why she couldn't be pregnant in this life.

It seems that I have to find time to go to the hospital for a check-up.

He felt relieved after confirming it.

He said to Wang Benfu: "Uncle Wang, times have changed. Boys and girls are the same. You and your aunt have a son and a daughter. You are the most blessed!"

Wang Benfu shook his head and said: "Whether it is a son or a daughter, if they are as capable as you, then they will be called blessed."

Huang Lanzhi also said from the side: "That's right, Xiaoliang, now that you are rich, you can also help us poor neighbors. How have you considered what I told you the day before yesterday?"

Only then did Liang Baikai understand that the reason why Wang Benfu invited him to his home so enthusiastically, and why Huang Lanzhi asked Wang Xiaoping to carry money for her family, was so that Wang Xiaoping and Wang Xiaohong could go to work at Hezha Restaurant.

Speaking of which, the day before yesterday, when Liang Baikai and Xu Qingqing were discussing recruiting people for Hezha Restaurant at home, Huang Lanzhi came over to visit and overheard.

She immediately said that neither Wang Xiaoping nor Wang Xiaohong had regular jobs, and she wanted to see if she could let them go together.

Liang Baikai didn't know Wang Xiaoping and Wang Xiaohong well, so he just talked about it for a few days.

Unexpectedly, Wang Benfu and Huang Lanzhi were so anxious.

After thinking about it, Liang Baikai said: "There is no problem for Xiaoping and Xiaohong to go to work, but they need to go for a physical examination first. After all, I am in the catering industry, and personal health is very important. They must pass the physical examination."

Huang Lanzhi smiled and waved: "What do I mean? I told you, our family often drinks a bowl of well water, and that well water can cure all diseases. Everyone in our family is healthy." !”

Liang Baikai said: "Auntie, don't follow other people's superstitions. There is not even a panacea that can cure all diseases in this world, let alone water?"

"It's true that a bowl of well water is sweet and sweet, but you can't be superstitious."

Huang Lanzhi said: "Xiao Liang, you are still young, you don't understand! People of our age only think that the water in the well is magical, and many people come from hundreds of miles away to ask for water."

Liang Bai held his forehead. He had heard about some "water" superstitious events in his previous life, but he didn't expect to see it with his own eyes after his rebirth.

This kind of superstition is very poisonous. Now that he encountered it, he couldn't ignore it and immediately became convinced.

After some talking, Huang Lanzhi agreed to let Wang Xiaoping and Wang Xiaohong go for a physical examination, but Liang Baikai didn't know whether she believed her words or not.

After all, many people's ideas in this era are deeply ingrained and not easy to change.

Liang Baikai left Wang Benfu's house, went home first to put away the license, and then went out again.

Xu Qingqing went to the restaurant that was being renovated, and he was worried.

After all, there was so much dust during the decoration, the construction site must be quite messy, and Xu Qingqing might still be pregnant with her baby.

How could he trust her to stay there!

After walking all the way, we arrived at Wuyang Dam in about ten minutes.

"Liang Baikai, it turns out you are hiding here!"

As he was hurrying on his way, a young man shouted and blocked his way.
