Back to 1988

There was a lot of movement on their side, and the dispute soon attracted other people.

Bai Lao got up early in the morning, but he didn't expect to help settle the lawsuit so early. After someone called their father and son in, he beat his son with a walking stick a few times after hearing a few words, and said with a stare: "Nonsense, how can you be someone's father without even asking!"

Bai Jingrong: "..."

He took two hits and stood there without answering.

Luo Jiangjing also got up, and stood there wearing a thin shirt, a little distressed, and whispered to persuade: "Dad, Jing Rong didn't do anything even after arguing with him."

Bai Lao looked at her: "Are you saying that I did something wrong?"

Luo Jiangjing whispered: "No, I just thought, why don't we all sit down and have a good talk."

Bai Lao tapped Bai Jingrong with his walking stick, and said, "Your old man, I have been a soldier for so many years, and I have never yelled at you at home. You should not bring the army's 'obedience to orders' to your home. If you do it right, I will Award, if you do something wrong, I will punish you. I don’t think I’ve treated you badly. If you’re unhappy, don’t take it out on my grandson! Luo Chuan didn’t do well, and me, you dare to do it with me ? Against you."

Bai Jingrong said: "Dad, I didn't mean that, I was just in a hurry..."

Bai Lao gave him another slap, and said with a stare: "You won't be in a hurry to get on the younger generation. If you get angry at him, I'll be fine? You say it's ridiculous!"

Bai Jingrong pursed his lips, stood there without speaking, and only nodded.

The old man is not in good health, and he doesn't want to make the old man angry again.

Old man Bai has some headaches. His son is good at everything, but even if he is upright and rigid, he prefers his grandson, and he also likes the clever and cunning energy of his grandson.

Luo Jiangjing also watched helplessly from the sidelines. Both the father and son of the Bai family take soft things rather than hard things. Bai Jingrong can be soft to Bai Laofu, but he naturally refuses to bow his head to his son. Bai Luochuan's temper is actually very similar to that of his father and grandfather, but more Be more wanton and show off, head-to-head, and don't back down when they hit each other.

Old Man Bai beckoned Bai Luochuan to come over again, straightened his collar with his own hands, and asked him in a relaxed tone, "What's going on, where did you go so early in the morning?"

Bai Luochuan said: "I didn't go anywhere, I went to find Mi Yang."

Bai Jingrong next to him frowned and looked at him.

Bai Luochuan stood there also looking at him, with a sullen face refusing to speak further.

Luo Jiangjing rubbed his brows twice. The young master of her family has always been obedient in front of his elders since he was a child, but he always has some friction when facing his father Bai Jingrong. It is probably because of blood relationship. Both of them want to get close, but the older one wants to teach. Small ones, small ones don't obey discipline, and they should be wrong.

After a while, Mi Yang also came.

When he knocked on the door and came in, he didn't expect that there were so many people on Bailao's side. Except for the old man, the elders and juniors were all standing there. The doctor behind Bailao winked at him, then looked at the father and son of the Bai family opposite, and winked.

Mi Yang understood that this was another conflict.

Old man Bai has a good face, and he didn't want to entangle any more in front of the children, so he waved Bai Jingrong out: "Let's forget about today's matter, both of them are at fault, one didn't speak well, the other didn't listen carefully, next time I will go back like this again, I am getting older, I just want to have a peaceful life for two days, let's go out."

Bai Jingrong and his wife went out, but Bai Luochuan stayed there because he was favored.

Mi Yang took the two boxes he brought, took a big one and put it on the table, and took the remaining small box in his hand and said: "I fried it, you can eat it with grandpa, there are some more I'll take it to Aunt Luo."

Bai Lao became a little interested and asked, "What is it? It smells so good."

Bai Luochuan said: "Hickory, you can try it."

He sat there with Bai Lao and whispered, Mi Yang took another box and went to find Luo Jiangjing.

Luo Jiangjing was sitting drinking coffee in the living room on the first floor. When he saw Mi Yang approaching, he said with a gentle expression, "I'm letting you see a joke. The two of them are really serious. They will fight for a long time when they meet. Both of them have a tough temper."

Mi Yang smiled and shook his head. He got close to Luo Jiangjing and gave her the small box, "Aunt Luo, try this."

After Luo Jiangjing opened it, he smelled a tangy aroma. The freshly fried hickory nuts were still hot. Biting into his mouth, he had a delicate taste of cream and nutty sweetness. It was particularly crispy and delicious when chewed.

Luo Jiangjing drank it with coffee, and quickly ate a small handful, his eyes lit up: "You made this? I knew before that your mother could make beef jerky, but I didn't expect you to make these. It's delicious."

Mi Yang smiled and said, "It's not me, Bai Luochuan and I did it together."

Luo Jiangjing couldn't help but ate another one, waiting for him to speak while eating.

Mi Yang said: "He came to me last night and said that Grandpa Bai agreed to go to the capital for treatment. We were all very happy. Neither of us could fall asleep, so we just got up and smashed hickory nuts secretly in my small kitchen all night. The last time Grandpa Bai I ate some walnuts and said they were delicious, so Bai Luochuan said that maybe some hickory nuts can be eaten." Mi Yang still smiled, "I borrowed the stove from my grandma's house in the morning, and fried these hickory nuts. Come here, after picking for a long time, I couldn’t control my strength at the beginning, some of them were smashed, and we ate them all, these are bigger ones.”

Luo Jiangjing laughed and said, "You guys are really not afraid of waking up your grandma?"

Mi Yang said: "Don't be afraid, my grandma is a heavy sleeper, and the small kitchen is set up in the yard outside, far away. We put newspapers on it and smashed it. Here, look, my finger is still black... ..."

He "sold miserably" to Luo Jiangjing, but all he got in return was a pat on the head. Luo Jiangjing's eyes were smiling, and Mi Yang also knew that she had always favored him, so he bent his eyes and smiled at her for a while: "Bai Luochuan's hand!" It’s darker than mine, and I asked him to wear gloves, but he still refused, and you’ll laugh at him later.”

They were chatting when they saw Bai Jingrong walking down the stairs.

Mi Yang sat upright, looked at him and said politely, "Hello, Uncle Bai."

Bai Jingrong nodded, Mi Yang was still cautious and cautious towards him, didn't say anything more, and left after delivering the things.

Bai Jingrong watched his back and went out, then turned to his wife and asked, "What did Yang Yang tell you, why did I leave as soon as I came?"

Luo Jiangjing said: "What else can I say, this kid is careful, come and explain to me! Your precious son didn't go out to play, but went to smash walnuts for the old man, and he smashed them all night."

Bai Jingrong was stunned, "Smashing walnuts?"

Luo Jiangjing tidied his clothes and buttoned up all the shirt buttons, "That's right, the old man hasn't liked to eat all this time, so he ate some more walnuts that day, and these two children will remember it in their hearts."

Bai Jingrong felt a little tight, and wanted to stretch out his hand to let go, but was stopped by Luo Jiangjing, who smiled and said, "Don't you like rules, that's what you call rules, right? Buckle it, and don't undo a single one."

She patted his neckline, turned and left by herself.

Bai Jingrong: "..."

Mi Yang went back to the small building where Bai Lao lived, and had just gone two steps when he heard Bai Luochuan sitting in the small living room complaining to Bai Lao in a low voice.

"Grandpa, look, you're still here, and he's always making trouble for me. If you're not here, he'll definitely steal my money." This is what Bai Lao said about him when he asked him to sign it, and now Bai Luochuan has left it intact. He said it again without moving.

Old Bai also knocked on his walking stick angrily, and scolded with a smile: "Nonsense! I'm going to steal my son's money?"

Bai Luochuan didn't even try to hide, he stood there and said, "Why not, CCTV Legal News, you can open it and have a look, there are lawsuits like this every now and then."

Old man Bai was so angry that he didn't want to talk to him anymore, and beckoned Mi Yang to come over: "Yangyang, come here, we two are going to play chess, ignore them."

The old man brought Mi Yang into the small building and drove Bai Luochuan out as well.

At noon, Luo Jiangjing and Mi Yang were only allowed to eat with him, while the Bai family father and son were left outside.

****

No matter what, it was a good thing that Mr. Bai agreed to go to the capital for treatment. Bai Jingrong and Luo Jiangjing actively arranged for it.In the face of the major event of illness, Bai Jingrong only frowned slightly when he heard about the property contract, and soon let go, sighing: "I see."

Luo Jiangjing said: "That's your own son, our father loves him, why aren't you happy?"

Bai Jingrong shook his head and said, "I'm not unhappy either. Dad has said about this before. You can do whatever you want with the old man's things. I respect his opinion. It's just that Luo Chuan is still young, so I'm afraid that he will go wrong. Lu, maybe I have seen a lot in the past two years, so I am always a little worried."

He didn't insist on letting Bai Luochuan join the army, but at the same time or at Shangfeng, there were always some youngsters who came in, some were good seedlings, but there were always a few who were not so good, causing troubles, and a few brought down the entire family.

Luo Jiangjing said angrily: "That's a child outside, I see you, you should go home more often to see your own children. In terms of Luo Chuan's education, do you not believe me, or our father? Although Luo Chuan has been following me, But every year whenever there is a holiday, he comes here, not because I want to send it off, but because the child wants to come, he is filial, the old man is like a mirror in his heart, and he does not love him for nothing."

There was a little guilt in Bai Jingrong's eyes, he held her hand and said, "You are tired."

Luo Jiangjing smiled at him, this is her family and her lover, even if there is a small dispute, the relationship will still not disperse.

Bai Jingrong asked for leave and accompanied Bai Lao to the capital for treatment. Luo Jiangjing also accompanied him to take care of him. On the contrary, Bai Lao felt uncomfortable and drove them away after staying in the ward: "I also have nurses and doctors here. There are so many people who take care of you. Now, I don’t need the two of you, go back to your own work, why are you watching me in the hospital all day? You are not the attending doctor, so my illness will be cured after you just look at it?”

Bai Jingrong still wanted to talk, but Luo Jiangjing pulled his sleeve. Luo Jiangjing smiled and said, "Dad, look, why don't we go out for a walk these two days while the doctor is still making diagnosis? Luo Chuan is here too , he said that their school is not far from here, let's go and have a look together?"

Sure enough, old man Bai became happy again after hearing this, nodded and said, "Okay, has Luo Chuan visited by himself? If not, let's go together."

Luo Jiangjing said: "No, he said he was waiting for you to come together."

Now the doctor is still consulting, and Bai Lao has been hospitalized here and only takes medicine, but his health is fine, so Luo Jiangjing asked him for two days off, and took him to school with him.

During the summer vacation, many people came to the capital to travel. The predecessor of Jingshi University was a part of the imperial garden. Come to a good school.

Bai Lao usually doesn't care much about these places, but this time is different. This is the place where his grandson will study in the future, and he walks with pride. Bai Luochuan next to him is holding a hand-painted map. Walking, while still quietly arguing about the direction of the intersection, Bai Luochuan let him go twice, but he stopped doing it, and whispered: "Look for yourself, it's easy to recognize the direction of the south and the north, so you should go this way."

Bai Lao refused to listen and insisted on leading the way.

Sure enough, he took the team in the wrong direction and arrived at a place without a school building. Although the lake in front of him had a nice view, it was still some distance away from the school.

Bai Luochuan looked at him.

The old man Bai took everyone back in the school bus and took a longer detour. The adults around him didn't dare to speak, only Bai Luochuan murmured to the old man, "If you make a mistake, don't let me talk about it."

Bai Lao gave him a small slap with his walking stick, blushing and said: "Why don't you let me talk about it!"

Bai Luochuan said: "Then do you apologize?"

Although Bai Lao blushed and admitted his mistake, he refused to apologize. The old man said vaguely: "Walk a few more steps, and you will be in good health! The older you get, the more lazy you become. When your father was your age, he used to train for five kilometers every morning!"

Luo Jiangjing next to her couldn't help but laugh. She looked at Bai Lao, then at her husband and her son sitting in the back row, and felt that the three of them deserved to be named Bai, and even their tempers were formed in the same vein.

Old Bai was not in good health, so he didn't move around much, he just looked around and went back.

Probably because of the activities, I also ate a little more at dinner. Bai Jingrong's eyes were full of warmth. He looked up at his son, waited for him to finish taking care of the old man, and whispered to him: "Come with me .”

The father and son went to talk outside the corridor. Bai Lao waited for a while, a little impatient, and said to Luo Jiangjing: "Go and see, did he talk about Luo Chuan again? Luo Chuan plays with me all day long Hurry up, don't let him teach the children, every day, what he said is not lively for half a day."

Luo Jiangjing smiled and said, "Okay, don't worry, I'll go and see right away."

She didn't bother to look for it when she went out. The father and son of the Bai family stood at the corner of the corridor and whispered something. They could only vaguely hear words such as "doctor" and "chemotherapy". Looking at the past, the sharpness between the two people's eyebrows and eyes are similar.

After listening to a few words, Luo Jiangjing came back and replied, only saying that he was talking about his studies.

Bai Lao was relieved when he heard that the father and son hadn't quarreled. He was a little tired and fell asleep quickly on the hospital bed.

Luo Jiangjing looked at the medical staff next to him taking care of him, and then his eyes fell on the old and thin face of the old man. Although he was wearing a hospital gown and could only show his face and hands, he could still see his weakness.

She sighed, her eyes were a little red, she quickly took her bag and carefully backed out, not staying to disturb him anymore.

****

Mi Yang was a little worried about such a big event in the Bai family, and decided to go to school early after discussing it with Cheng Qing.

Cheng Qing understood quite well, and supported him: "Go ahead, Luo Chuan must not be feeling well alone, when your grandfather was seriously ill, your aunts were still young, your third aunt cried, her eyes were half swollen The moon has not gone away, and she was as old as you at that time, ten years old, born, old, sick and dying, how can she bear it."

She packed Mi Yang's luggage, and told him: "You take some there first, and then call home if you need anything. When school starts soon, I will send it to you."

Mi Yang was a little surprised and said, "Mom, are you coming to the capital too?"

Cheng Qing smiled and said, "Go, why don't you go, my son is going to college, and our whole family will send you off, okay?"

Mi Yang recalled that in his last life, he performed exceptionally well and passed a key university. At that time, the whole family was also very happy. Cheng Qing and Mi Zehai specially asked for leave from the unit to send him to school. During his military training, his parents did not leave. , and even came here to bring him some food.Thinking of this, Mi Yang also laughed. After all, it is different from the previous life. Now he has an extra sister. This time the whole family is dispatched, but there are only four of them.

Mi Yang traveled lightly, and before leaving, he called Bai Luochuan and asked for the address of the hospital, but he still saw Bai Luochuan waiting there just after getting off the plane.

Bai Luochuan seemed to be in good spirits, his eyes were slightly tired from staying up all night, but it was much better than he expected.

"Let's go, I'll take you to where you live first." Bai Luochuan stepped forward to take his bag, and carried it on his shoulders habitually.

Mi Yang followed him and asked, "How is grandpa, what do the doctors here say?"

Bai Luochuan said: "It's similar to the previous diagnosis. It's in the advanced stage. Let's treat it aggressively."

Mi Yang looked at him, Bai Luochuan was also a little thinner, casually dressed in a set of casual clothes, his eyes were half down when he spoke, unable to see his emotions.He stretched out his hand, and was held tightly by Bai Luochuan almost immediately. Bai Luochuan whispered to him, "It was late when I discovered it last year, and Grandpa never said anything about it."

Mi Yang also fell silent.

Advanced gastric cancer is often accompanied by severe pain and difficulty in eating, but when they returned from the summer vacation, Mr. Bai was always smiling and holding on, not letting them see anything.

The driver was waiting outside. After Bai Luochuan took Mi Yang into the car, he told him where he lived and then fell silent again.

Mi Yang looked at him, thought for a while and didn't know what to say to comfort him. Before he opened his mouth, Bai Luochuan suddenly smiled when he saw the houses passing by outside the window, and said in a low voice: I bought a house here for my grandpa so that he can stay here for treatment. It’s almost the same. Grandpa refuses to agree, and anyone who mentions it will be angry. I know that he still wants to go home, and he is afraid that he will not be allowed to stay here for treatment. He left, and he told me yesterday that he wanted to go to Shanhai Town, and he didn't know if the lotus in the pond had fully bloomed, and if Wu Le was disobedient..."

Mi Yang stretched out his hand to press him on his shoulder, covered his eyes with his hand, and the smile on the corner of Bai Luochuan's mouth gradually faded away, his lips were pursed into a straight line, and he stopped talking.

Mi Yang's palm felt a little moist, he sighed, patted Bai Luochuan's shoulder lightly, and gave him a hug.
