Bai Weiguang nodded. This condition is really good. There are not many young people in Beijing who can get a house on their own. My daughter has good taste.
"Your parents don't think we, Lulu, can't cook, right?"
Shui Jianguo replied truthfully: "Lulu learned to cook in the Educated Youth Home. But under my mother's guidance, the cooking was even more delicious.
Our family only let Lulu cook for a few days during the busy farming season. Since she married me, she has not been allowed to work in the fields. "
"This girl has learned a lot without me. I heard that your second son is serving as a soldier in Beijing. Do you want to go and see him?"
"When I went out to buy groceries this afternoon, I asked about how to get to the military area. I plan to go see him tomorrow." Shui Jianguo told the truth.
The two chatted for a while longer before turning off the lights and going to sleep.
Early the next morning, the three of them had a simple breakfast together, and Bai Weiguang often went to work.
Bai Lu then asked: "What did you and Dad talk about yesterday?"
"I told you something about your daily life and about our family. I'm going to see the founding of the party later. Are you at home or going with me?"
"Of course we went together. Send him some sausages and pancakes." Bai Lu didn't hate Lao Er, but she thought he spoke too bluntly.
Soon, the two picked up their things and took the bus to the military area. There were quite a lot of people along the way. Fortunately, they both got on the bus early and had seats.
Arriving at their destination half an hour later, the two registered their information and met Shuijian Dang who was called to the gate.
"Brother, sister-in-law, why are you here?" Shui Jiandang was still very surprised. After all, he had not seen his family since he came to Beijing.
Shui Jianguo patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "I am accompanying your sister-in-law to celebrate the Spring Festival. This is what my mother asked me to bring you." After that, he handed the cloth bag in his hand to his second brother.
"My family has sent me many things, and now they are giving me more. Is there enough for my family to eat?"
"Don't worry, my family has been fishing and hunting a lot this year, so there will definitely be enough meat to eat."
Shuijian Dang took the bag and said sheepishly: "I'm still training today, it's time to go in now. How many days can you guys stay here?"
"Four days, then it's time to go home. You go and train hard. You can go home when you have holidays in the future."
The meeting ended quickly like this. Shui Jianguo took Bai Lu back to Bai's house by car.
The two of them were sitting on the sofa to rest, and Bai Lu sighed: "It's not easy to be a soldier. I'm still training now, so I can't say a few words. But your brother looks a lot stronger."
"The army is the most training place. The second child is indeed the most physically fit among our brothers.
Let’s not talk about him anymore. Please tell me roughly what the characteristics of your two brothers are, so that I don’t get the wrong person. "
"My eldest brother is of medium build, wears glasses, loves to smile, but doesn't like to talk very much. My second brother is taller, about the same as you, with dark skin, but has dimples on his face, and doesn't like to smile."
Bai Lu was very detailed. Later, she even brought the photo album at home and pointed it out to her husband. She also complained: "I don't seem to have enough brain power right now. I should have just shown you the photos."
After looking at the group photo, Shui Jianguo asked Bai Lu: "Why don't your two brothers live with your father?"
"Our family has a lot of houses. Although the land deed and real estate certificate are still in my father's hands, we no longer have the right to use it and it has been divided among many people.
After my two brothers got married, they lived in their own house, which was not that big. Otherwise, the things you cannot keep will not belong to you. "Bai Lu was still a little sad after finishing speaking.
After all, she was a charming young lady who grew up in a garden house when she was a child, because of the times. The house is uninhabitable and we can only live in a small house.
Dad is very optimistic. If they hadn't made good friends with reliable people, they would have been like the people like Mr. Huo.
Shui Jianguo patted his wife on the back and comforted her: "Nothing is as important as a good person. Life is getting better little by little."
In the evening, Bai Weiguang got off work early, and he and his son-in-law cooked a sumptuous dinner.
At six or seven o'clock, Brother Bai and Brother Bai came with their wives. I was still very surprised when I saw my sister there.
Sister-in-law Bai is a fierce woman like Wang Xifeng, who is not afraid of strangers. She took Bai Lu's hand and pointed towards Shui Jianguo: "This is my brother-in-law. He is such a talented person that he outshines your two brothers."
"Sister-in-law, I'm just an ordinary person. Dinner is ready, let's chat while eating." Shui Jianguo came out of the kitchen with dishes and said modestly.
The two brothers put the gifts they were carrying on the coffee table and walked to the dining table. Brother Bai said in surprise: "There are some dishes today that I haven't seen in previous years. It must be my brother-in-law's cooking. I'm really lucky."
After everyone was seated, Bai Weiguang opened a large bottle of drink, poured it into everyone's cups, and then said with a smile: "I have a happy event to announce."
"Dad, what's going on?"
"Bai Ze, you are so impatient to change your mind. I'm going to say it right away, so you have to interrupt."
"The second brother doesn't talk outside, but he keeps talking at home." Bai Lu saw that the second brother was still the same and felt very close to him.
After hearing what his daughter said, Bai Weiguang returned to the topic: "The happy news I want to say is that Lulu is pregnant and is already four months old."
Second Sister-in-law Bai glanced at her sister-in-law's belly, but couldn't see anything because of the thick clothes. But I’m envious.
"Then we will have an extra junior next summer, which is really a happy thing. Let me touch it and feel happy, maybe I can get pregnant too." Sister-in-law Bai spoke directly.
She and Brother Bai have been married for five years. She would be lying if she said she was not in a hurry, but both of them had no problems after physical examination. What's more, Bai Hong gave their family a lot of help in the first place, and the two of them will never be separated in this life.
Bai Lu had a good relationship with her sister-in-law, so she didn't mind her touching her belly. After saying this, everyone started to have dinner.
When Brother Bai ate the middle dish, he was surprised: "What kind of meat is this? It feels very similar to pig's trotters, but it's not the same."
"It's a bear's paw. Jianguo and my father-in-law got it with their own hands. It's naturally special and hard to eat."
Brother Bai's eyes immediately lit up: "Whenever I have the opportunity, I want to visit your place and go up the mountain together."
Second Sister-in-law Bai patted her husband's hand and signaled him not to be so enthusiastic, as it would be bad if others misunderstood him.
Shui Jianguo nodded: "Our place is quite good, but there are many mountains. Second brother can really go and see it when he has time."
"What does Jianguo do now?" Brother Bai asked the topic he was concerned about.
"Working as a technician in a steel plant."
"How many years have you been working?"
"Three years ago, I now have a two-bedroom apartment of 60 square meters."
