Bai Narcissus could not move from the neck up. Seeing his elders come in, he hurriedly apologized: "Comrades, I'm really sorry. I can't stand up to greet you in this situation. Please forgive me for my rudeness."
After saying that, he told his daughter: "Linglong, quickly move the stools and invite the two elders to sit down."
"Linglong Mom, you don't have to be so polite. Just lie down and don't move." Zhou Lanping walked to the bed, looked at her carefully, and smiled gently: "Linglong is so beautiful, it turns out that she took after her mother's appearance."
The electric light in the ward was a little dim. Now she came closer, and Bai Narcissus was staring at her carefully. It felt like he had seen her before somewhere, and there was an indescribable feeling of familiarity when he saw her.
"Xiao Lu, his aunt, what is your surname?"
"My surname is Zhou."
Zhou Lanping sat down by the bed and introduced the man's son to her with a smile: "This is my husband Song Jinyao and my youngest son Song Tao."
"Hello, Comrade Song." Bai Shuixian said simply.
Seeing that her conversation was calm and natural, Song Jinyao was not as reserved and nervous as other rural women. He sat down next to his wife with a gentle smile: "Hello, Comrade Bai, are you feeling okay after the operation?"
"It's not bad, I'm recovering well. Thank you both for your concern, and thank you for your help."
Bai Narcissus moved his neck slightly to look at them, his eyes fell on Zhou Lanping, with a slight smile on his face: "Comrade Zhou, I feel that you look familiar. I seem to have seen you somewhere."
"oh?"
Zhou Lanping was slightly surprised. She didn't feel familiar when she saw the Bai family's mother and daughter.
Bai Shuixian was sure that he had not seen her in Yang County. Thinking that Lu Jingchuan had said that his family was from Kyoto before, he asked, "Comrade Zhou, are you from Kyoto?"
"Yes, both of us were born and raised in Kyoto. We were transferred to Tancheng to work six years ago."
Zhou Lanping had heard her son and nephew talk about her experience at home before. Now they started chatting and asked tentatively: "Linglong Mom, are you from Kyoto too?"
Bai Narcissus nodded slightly, "Yes, I was also born and raised in Kyoto."
She answered the question and didn't want to say much else.
Looking at Zhou Lanping's face, a familiar but vague figure suddenly flashed through his mind, and he suddenly remembered: "Comrade Zhou, do you know Zhou Huaiyou?"
"Do you know my brother?" Zhou Lanping was slightly surprised.
Bai Narcissus smiled when he heard this, "I know you. I just said you look familiar. You look a lot like Zhou Huaiyou."
"Oh, it turns out he is an acquaintance of my little brother."
Zhou Lanping smiled, glanced at her son and nephew, and introduced her: "We have five brothers and sisters. The eldest and fourth are sons, the second, third and fifth are daughters. The eldest brother is the oldest, I am the second eldest, Jingchuan's mother He is the third child, Huaiyou is the fourth child, and there is a little sister below."
Some long-standing memories came to Bai Shuixian's mind, and he said with a smile: "Zhou Huaiyou and my second brother were classmates. At that time, they were a bunch of boys who made trouble everywhere and often came to my house after school. I remember that he was very special at that time. He is naughty and naughty, and loves to bully girls. He scares and teases female classmates every day, and always makes people cry before he stops. He is a devil that everyone dislikes."
"Ha ha..."
When talking about what happened to her brother when he was a child, Zhou Lanping laughed happily and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, he has been a devilish devil who has been around since he was a child. He was beaten every day. My father often chased him around the courtyard with a big mallet and beat him."
"He had countless mischievous and mischievous deeds when he was a child, which left a shadow on all the girls of the same age. So when he got married, the girls who had been bullied by him in the past were unwilling to go on a blind date with him or marry him. .”
"I was also one of the girls bullied by him. Every time he saw me, he would pull my braids and pinch my ponytail, force me to climb trees and dig out bird eggs, and would often catch snakes and eels to scare me. I heard this for a long time I'm afraid of his name, so I have a very deep impression on him." Bai Narcissus couldn't laugh or cry just thinking about it now.
Zhou Lanping also felt helpless when she heard this: "He is such a rough-and-tumble guy, and I often had fights with him when I was a kid. I often joke with him now, saying that my hair is thin, because he always fought with me when I was a kid and often pulled my hair." , causing it to not grow back later.”
The three juniors stood aside and listened to their chat quietly. They couldn't help but laugh when they saw them talking about interesting things from their childhood.
Lu Jingchuan and Bai Linglong were standing on the other side of the bed. Seeing that she knew her uncle, he interrupted and asked, "Auntie, have you known my uncle since childhood?"
"We met when we were seven or eight years old. He was a classmate of my second brother and I was nearly four years younger than them. He used to often come to my house to play, but then it seems that your grandfather was transferred to the Northeast for work, so he also transferred to another school. , they cut off contact.”
"Yes, my dad was transferred to the Northeast to work for six or seven years. At that time, our whole family followed him, and all five brothers and sisters were transferred to the Northeast to study." Zhou Lanping answered.
Thinking about the past, Bai Narcissus sighed: "Thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye."
"Yes, time flies so fast, we are all old enough to be grandparents."
Although they had never met before, the relationship between the two became closer immediately because they had familiar people in common.
Bai Narcissus also took the initiative to ask with a smile: "How many children does your brother have now?"
"Three children."
"The eldest son is 21 years old. Like his father, he is a dog-hating demon. He was sent to the army before he even finished high school."
"The second child is also a son. He is one year older than Linglong and is over 19 years old. He is more reserved and quiet like my younger siblings and stays with his parents."
"The third child is a daughter. She is sixteen or seventeen years old. She is in high school. She is also a naughty girl, but she is much better than her father and elder brother."
"It's really enviable to have both children." White Narcissus sighed.
Zhou Lanping smiled gently, looked at Bai Linglong, and said, "Sister, Linglong is beautiful, well-behaved and filial. Your good fortune is yet to come, and others will envy you."
There was a faint smile on Bai Narcissus's face. She only had one daughter in her life, and her daughter was indeed very well-behaved. She was her little cotton-padded jacket. She was indeed blessed to have such a smart and filial daughter.
"Sister, I would like to ask, can you tell me your real name?"
Zhou Lanping thought that her second brother and younger brother were classmates, and her mother's family should be well-known in Kyoto circles. Maybe they could find out what was going on in her family.
Speaking of this, the smile on Bai Shuixian's face faded slightly, and she said slightly apologetically: "Comrade Zhou, the person in front of you now is called Bai Shuixian. The past me has long gone with my family, and no one should remember it anymore. Need to mention it again.”
Zhou Lanping understood what she meant, and she also had some guesses in her heart. It seemed that the affairs of her mother's family were not simple, and there might be many complicated people and things involved behind them.
