Chapter 17 Bai Yupeng

When Li Zhongxin and Bai Yunpeng returned to the Bai family, Bai Yunpeng's mother Wang Fengxia had already stewed the fish and just waited for Bai Yunpeng and Li Zhongxun to come back with the wine.

Wang Fengxia put a small kang table in the outer room (a small table that can be placed on the four legs of the kang), used two large white porcelain bowls to serve a fish tail, and then took a big bowl with a broken hole to serve half a bowl of cabbage stewed potatoes. After a few words from Bai Yunpeng, she turned around and went into the house to have dinner with Bai Fengyi.

Li Zhongxin was speechless about this custom passed down from the 1960s and 1970s. When there were guests, the children did not go to the table to eat, but they had to eat in the outhouse or in the kitchen.

In later generations, children are young ancestors. Even if they have important guests, they will have dinner with adults.

But! At this time, Li Zhongxin couldn't say anything. In Zhubantun, being able to keep you at home for dinner is already a great deal of face, not to mention that Zhubantun has always been such a custom.

Bai Yunpeng's younger brother Bai Yupeng was one year younger than Bai Yunpeng. At this time, he had already come back from outside crazy and didn't say hello. Mao sat next to Bai Yunpeng and shouted to have a meal.

Li Zhongxin was so happy at first sight that this kid was simply Bai Yunpeng, the younger brothers looked very similar. At any time, you could tell at a glance that these were the two brothers.

However, Li Zhongxin clearly remembers that Bai Yupeng has been spoiled by his family since he was a child, far inferior to his brother. When he graduated from high school, he stabbed someone else and sentenced him to ten years in prison. Even if his family spent money to find someone to reduce his sentence, he stayed there for a full eight years before he came out.

At that time, Bai Yunpeng was the fuel squad leader of Jiangcheng Power Plant. He helped his younger brother find a job and raised money for his younger brother to buy a house and got married.

Li Zhongxin quietly kept this matter in his heart and was about to return home and write it on his treasure notebook. By that time, he would help Bai Yunpeng, at least not let Bai Yupeng be sentenced for such a thing.

"This is your brother's classmate. Your name is Brother Zhongxin. Say hello to your Brother Zhongxin and then wash your hands." Bai Yunpeng saw that his younger brother Bai Yupeng had not washed his hands, so he sat beside him and immediately said with a flick of his face.

Bai Yunpeng usually does not show his majesty with his younger brother when he is at home, but now that Li Zhongxin is there, he naturally wants to show his brother's authority.

Bai Yupeng looked at Bai Yunpeng with great unhappiness, called Brother Zhongxin with a calm face, then got up and ran to the faucet. He drank a few sips of cold water before simply washing his hands and returning to the table.

As the elder brother, Bai Yunpeng was immediately happy to see his younger brother being so obedient, and happily served Bai Yupeng and brought him chopsticks.

At this time, there were no household appliances such as rice cookers at home, so they could only use large pots or stew pots to steam rice. The sorghum rice cooked by the Bai family is one of coarse grains, and it is also a staple food that can be full at this time.

At this time, I just want to eat rice and white flour every day. If I want to eat white flour and steamed buns every day, I have to have flour. After all, most people are not even able to eat enough.

Recently, Li Zhongxin has always eaten fish and has no interest in the tail of this carp that weighs more than one pound and has a lot of thorns on his body. He holds a bowl and specializes in stewing potatoes with cabbage.

Not to mention, the cabbage stewed potatoes made by Bai Yunpeng’s mother have two different flavors from the cabbage stewed potatoes made by the grandma. This lighter feeling is more in line with Li Zhongxin’s taste.

When Bai Yunpeng saw that Li Zhongxin only ate cabbage and potatoes, he immediately picked up a large piece of fish for Li Zhongxin and said dissatisfiedly: "Zhongxin, why are you pretending to be an outsider when you arrive at my house? Today I will have a good meal. If you pretend to be fake, I will be unhappy. Students are not allowed to see each other."

Bai Yunpeng was very happy that his classmates came to visit his home. He just wanted to find good things to greet his classmates, but he couldn't find them. Today, Uncle San brought two fish, and he had to let Li Zhongxin eat some.

Li Zhongxin's old face turned red, no, it should be said that his little face turned red. He couldn't bear to eat something that he didn't want to eat, so he just picked it up and gave it to him like a baby, but he really couldn't say anything.

Li Zhongxin turned his head in a very embarrassed manner, not looking at Bai Yunpeng's eyes. The next moment, he actually saw in surprise that Bai Yupeng's two big, lively eyes were staring at him, as if with a hostile gaze. When he saw his gaze pass, he immediately stopped looking at him and lowered his head and started eating sorghum rice.

He was a little puzzled. It was the first time he saw Bai Yunpeng’s younger brother today. Why did he still seem to have a grudge against me?

After looking at the fish on the sorghum rice in his bowl, Li Zhongxin suddenly realized.

The Bai family is not as good as its own. Recently, Wang Bo has been able to catch many big fish every day. When he goes to the city to sell fish every day, he will send Dong Zhiguo to his home, and there are basically constant fish at home.

However, the Bai family was originally poor and probably couldn't see such meat for many years. At this time, Bai Yunpeng picked up a large piece of fish for him, so Bai Yupeng naturally had less chance to eat more fish, and in his heart he would even think that his elder brother Bai Yunpeng was better than his younger brother, so he would naturally be hostile to him.

A fish tail was not big, and the piece Bai Yunpeng picked up for him should be the best piece of meat. Thinking of this, Li Zhongxin couldn't help but smile.

I wanted to give Bai Yupeng the fish clip in the bowl, but I was worried that Bai Yunpeng would be unhappy, so that it would not give Bai Yunpeng face.

If he just ate it like this, he would be really embarrassed to look at Bai Yupeng's expression.

As an adult mind, Li Zhongxin suddenly felt a dilemma.

Suddenly, Li Zhongxin remembered the three pieces of fruit candy that Bai Yunpeng gave him before. He inserted his right hand into his pocket and quickly touched out the three pieces of candy. He handed it over and said, "Epeng, I have a toothache in recent days and can't eat candy. I'll give you these three pieces of candy. When Brother Zhongxin comes here a few days later, he will get you a big fish."

Bai Yupeng stared at the candy in Li Zhongxin's hand with his eyes, but he did not take it, but looked at Bai Yunpeng. He ignored what Li Zhongxin said later that he wanted to get a fish.

Even if he hears it clearly, he will be bragging about Li Zhongxin. At this time, a fish is so precious, and it is something that a child like Li Zhongxin can get.

Li Zhongxin is Bai Yunpeng's classmate. His brother once said that if he has classmates or friends coming to the house, no matter what others give him, he must have his consent.

After seeing Bai Yunpeng nodding, Bai Yupeng happily put the three pieces of fruit candy in his close-fitting clothes pocket and tied the buttons on the pocket, for fear that the fruit candy would fall out of his pocket.

Li Zhongxin and the other three did not drink alcohol in the outhouse, and they were all children, so they had lunch soon.

After lunch, Bai Yupeng did not go out to play wildly, but stayed at home to play with Bai Yunpeng and Li Zhongxin.

Li Zhongxin gave him candy, so he naturally classified Li Zhongxin as a good person. The three children had a lot of fun playing with their human avatars.

But Li Zhongxin whispered to Bai Yupeng when he was about to leave.
