I relied on my heart to play badly in front of my husband, an officer.
Chapter 4 The Bai Family 2
"Hey! Okay mom, I'll be right there."
Bai Youyou gathered her thoughts and answered Song Xiaofen's questions.
When Bai Youyou walked out of the room, Song Xiaofen, who was still waiting for her outside, walked up to her and chattered:
"You silly kid, why don't you dry your hair? You'll catch a cold. When you get home from work this afternoon, I'll make you some ginger water to keep the cold away."
Bai Youyou looked at Song Xiaofen, who truly loved her daughter, and said embarrassedly, "Okay, thank you, mother."
"You silly girl, why are you saying thank you or no thank you to your family? Well, there are eggs cooked for you by your mother on the table, go and eat them quickly! I'm going to bring food to your grandma and your father. If you don't go now, they will have to go to work hungry.
After you finish your meal, be good at home and don't go to the river again, do you understand?" Song Xiaofen brought Bai Youyou to the table and instructed her while she swiftly prepared food.
Before Bai Youyou could say anything, he picked up his things and rushed out.
Bai Youyou, sitting at the table, looked at the bowl of corn paste, a boiled egg, and a plate of stir-fried vegetables without a trace of oil, and fell into deep thought.
[Host, what are you looking at?] System Xiaoba asked
"Xiao Ba, do you have any way to make money?" Bai Youyou asked.
[Host, no! We are a melon-eating system, not a task system, so there is no way to make money!] System said
[..., then since you are so weak, why do I need you? Just to eat melons?] Bai Youyou said
[Wow, host, you are attacking the system personally. I have already said that I am a melon-eating system. I only eat melons.] The system said sadly.
[Okay, okay, I was wrong just now. Can you please stop crying in my head? I'm so confused by the noise.] Bai Youyou said
The Cry-Free System: […Host, didn't you say you wanted to live a miserable life? Why are you asking about how to make money again?]
Bai Youyou sighed and said, "Alas, Xiao Ba, I want to give up too! But the situation doesn't allow it! Can't you see there's no meat on the table? How can I improve their lives if I don't make money?"
System: […No, host, have you forgotten that buying and selling was prohibited in the 70s? If you do business, it will be considered speculation and profiteering, and if you are caught, you will go to jail.]
Bai Youyou said, "If I'm careful, I shouldn't get caught! If I don't find a way to improve the food, it'll be ages before I can eat meat, but I want to eat meat."
System: [Host, why don't you try being a worker? Workers are quite popular these days, and the benefits are good.]
Bai Youyou said, "Xiao Ba, you think too highly of me. I know nothing. How can I get a job as a factory worker? Workers these days should take an exam, right? I don't have the confidence to pass."
System: [Host, you must believe in yourself. You are a top student in modern times, and you will definitely pass the exam.]
[Oh! Okay! This is the only plan for now!] Bai Youyou thought about it and finally said helplessly
In the end, Bai Youyou picked up the egg and ate it bit by bit, then slowly drank the corn porridge in the bowl, and ate a bite of wild vegetables that she didn't know what they were.
After finishing her meal, Bai Youyou took the dishes to the kitchen and washed them with the warm water in the pot.
After finishing her work, she took a good look at the three not-so-big earthen houses.
The first room is the room where Bai Youyou’s two older brothers live, plus a woodshed. The second room has two rooms on the left and right. The one on the left is the room where Bai Youyou’s parents live, the middle is the living room and dining area, and the one on the right is called a room, but it is actually a small storage room converted into a room where Grandma Bai lives.
The third room is where Bai Youyou lives. This room obviously looks better and newer than the other two rooms. It is obvious that it was built later.
Next to the room she lived in, a small space was set aside to serve as a kitchen and toilet. The toilet was behind the kitchen and was built with a few wooden boards.
There is a medium-sized private plot at the back, where some green vegetable sprouts are planted. They look malnourished at first glance.
There is a courtyard in front, and in the southwest corner of the courtyard there are three chickens and a small white dog.
At this time, chickens are an important source of income for the family. Most families cannot afford to raise chickens. After all, chickens need to eat food to lay eggs.
After Bai Youyou searched around in her memory, she returned to her room and began to sort out the original owner's memories. Although she had gone through them quickly before, she didn't know many details.
While she has time now, she can sort out her memory, otherwise she will be exposed because she can't remember the details.
She still wanted to live here very much. She wanted to live the life of the original owner. She also wanted to enjoy the love of her parents and relatives and experience what it was like.
When Bai Youyou sorted out her messy memories, bad gossip about her spread throughout the Baijia Village.
There was a case where Bai Youyou was so upset after the Zhang family broke off her engagement that she attempted suicide, and there was also a case where Bai Youyou was touched and hugged by people from other villages.
Anyway, it's all bad gossip.
When the Bai family was on their way home from work, several families who were usually close to them secretly told Grandma Bai and Song Xiaofen the news so that they could be mentally prepared.
When Grandma Bai, Wang Yanzi and Song Xiaofen heard that rumors were spread about their precious granddaughter and daughter, they were so angry that they wanted to go and find trouble with the rumormongers on the spot.
He was still held back by Bai's father and two brothers. Although Bai Dayong didn't know what was going on, he knew that the only thing that could make his mother and wife go crazy at the same time was something concerning his precious daughter.
Judging from the situation, it should be related to the daughter falling into the water. When Bai Youyou fell into the water, the Bai family was working on the other side of the mountain. Song Xiaofen only found out about her daughter falling into the water when she went home to cook when she saw that it was almost lunch time.
After Song Xiaofen prepared the meal and took it to the field, she told everyone in the Bai family about Bai Youyou falling into the water. After hearing that their baby had fallen into the water, the Bai family members didn't even eat and ran home together.
It was only after Song Xiaofen held them back and repeatedly assured them that Bai Youyou was fine that everyone gave up the idea of going home. However, the whole family was worried the whole afternoon.
After finally waiting for the end of work and recording the work points, I hurried home.
Who knew that several families came to tell them rumors about their babies along the way, which made Grandma Bai and Song Xiaofen, who had been worried all day, even more angry.
He was about to go and pick a fight right then and there, but Bai Dayong pulled Grandma Bai aside and said:
"Mom, let's go home and see Youyou first. After we see Youyou, we'll go look for someone else."
"Yes, yes, let's go home and see Youyou first. After seeing Youyou, we'll go and settle the score with those gossips." After saying this, Grandma Bai hurriedly ran towards home.
The Bai family hurried and soon returned home.
As soon as they entered the house, Grandma Bai and Song Xiaofen went straight to Bai Youyou's room, but found that the room was empty.
"Where is Youyou?" Grandma Bai asked anxiously.
"Xiao Fen, didn't you say Youyou was at home? Where is she?"
"Mom, Youyou was at home when I left! I even cooked her an egg to calm her down." Song Xiaofen also said anxiously
At this moment, Bai Dayong suddenly thought of something and his face turned pale. He hurried to the yard and found the little white dog playing.
"Heizi, have you seen where your sister went?" Bai Dayong squatted down and stroked the puppy's head.
The puppy whimpered twice and then ran towards the outside of the village. Bai Dayong's heart tightened and he quickly followed.
Seeing this, others followed suit.
The group followed the puppy to a small hill outside the village. At the top of the hill, they saw Bai Youyou's figure.
She stood there quietly, gazing into the distance, her eyes revealing a hint of confusion and determination.
"Youyou! Don't be so desperate and scare grandma! Grandma's baby! Come down quickly and go home with grandma. Grandma will cook meat for you, okay!" Grandma Bai shouted anxiously.
"Yes! Youyou, let's come down quickly and go home with our parents. Let's go home and eat meat." Bai Dayong also shouted
"Yes! Sister, come down, the brothers won't fight with you for the meat, okay?" The eldest brother, Bai Wen, called out.
"Yes, yes, sister, second brother will give you his share, let's go home, okay?" Second brother, Bai Wei said
Hearing their shouts, Bai Youyou turned around and looked at them. After seeing their worried expressions, she smiled and said:
"Grandma, Mom and Dad, Big Brother and Second Brother, don't worry about me. I didn't come here because I was upset. I just thought the scenery here was beautiful, so I came here to take a walk and get some fresh air."
After Bai Youyou finished comforting her family, she turned and continued to gaze into the distance. In the distance lay a green mountain, with a gurgling stream at the foot of it. She couldn't help but recall the time when she played by the stream with her friends from the orphanage as a child. Back then, she knew nothing, yet she was so happy and carefree.
"Youyou, what are you thinking about? Can you tell grandma?" Wang Yanzi walked to Bai Youyou and patted her shoulder gently.
Bai Youyou came back to her senses, smiled and said, "Grandma, I'm fine, I'm just thinking about my childhood." What Bai Youyou didn't say was that the childhood she was thinking about was different from the childhood that Grandma Bai knew.
"Well, you were still young at that time and didn't understand anything. You just played every day. Now you have grown up and have your own worries, but you don't tell grandma about them." Wang Yanzi said with a sigh.
Bai Youyou hugged Wang Yanzi and said coquettishly, "Grandma, I'm not worried. I'm just a little tired and want to rest. I'll be fine after I rest."
"Okay, okay, Youyou, just rest if you are tired. But you have to promise grandma that no matter what happens in the future, you must tell grandma and don't keep it in your heart, okay?" Grandma Bai said while touching Bai Youyou's hair.
"Okay, I understand, grandma." Bai Youyou nodded.
"Then go home with grandma now. Your parents and brothers are waiting for us to go home together downstairs!" Wang Yanzi said, holding Bai Youyou's hand.
"Okay, grandma, let's go back! It's so windy here, I hope you don't catch a cold."
After Bai Youyou finished speaking, she took Grandma Bai's hand and went down the mountain to go home with her family.
