Chapter 14
For dinner, he cooked chicken stewed with potatoes. Yu Xi couldn't eat the meat. He didn't have much meat. It was just a big chicken, and the family was mostly men. Only their wives were women, and Geng Mei was the sister-in-law. If I eat two yuan by myself, I don’t need to move my chopsticks, so I can save it for my uncles who are growing up.

She wanted to feed her daughter chicken soup, but how could Yu Xi let her feed it, "Mom, I will eat it myself."

She took a small spoon and ate slowly, so that Geng Mei didn't have to take care of herself while eating.

After the meal, everyone praised Bai Ziqi, the old man of the Bai family, for his good craftsmanship. The taste of the chicken was really delicious.

"Geng Mei, learn from my dad in the future, even if my dad is a senior chef, he may not be able to catch up with his skills."

The old man Bai hugged his little grandson and smiled at his son's praise, "Your father and I have been cooking for so many years, and this level is still there. Otherwise, how come you guys are so strong? To put it bluntly, it is my credit."

Not to mention that the old man is really not boasting, the sons have known from the time they can remember that their father is the cook at home, and they have never seen the old lady cook.

It was autumn soon, and Bai Wenyi had already completed his training and became a teacher in a middle school near them.The people at home are busy with the autumn harvest. Fortunately, the autumn harvest in the Corps is all machinery, which can save a lot of manpower, but there is also a fee to use the machinery in the regiment. The money is not a lot but at least it is not so tiring. There are so many places, it is definitely not enough to rely on manual labor alone.

Geng Mei and the others went to the field to pick wheat ears, and the brothers and sisters let her play on the field, as did other families, so there were many children playing together on the field, so there was no need to worry about their safety. After all, such a big place is full of employees and family members of their company. Even if someone came to abduct and sell children, it is estimated that it is impossible to come to such a remote place. Besides, abducting children from such an empty place, the trafficker is either looking for death or idle Come and fight.

Bai Haoran put Yu Xi next to the straw, "Sister, sit here obediently and watch brother play with others."

The little guy was probably in a hurry to find some friends to play with, so he tricked Yuxi into sitting obediently on the ground.

To the little guy, Yu Xi gave him a big smile, "Well, you go and play, I will play by myself."

Autumn in northern Xinjiang is the most beautiful. I am afraid that the scenery she has seen in her previous life is not as good as autumn in northern Xinjiang.

The leaves of the birch and Populus euphratica in the distance have turned golden yellow, looking bright in people's hearts, as if living in a fairy tale world, which makes people feel unreal.

"Sister, come, you eat this."

Bai Haoran carried a bunch of reddish-brown dates in his small hand, not too big, "Brother, what kind of dates are these, and where did they come from?"

Bai Haoran pointed to the Gobi in the distance with his little finger, "The dates they picked from over there, you eat, it's so sweet."

Yu Xi only took two, and let the little guy eat the rest by himself. He took one and stuffed it into his mouth. It tasted good, a little sweet, but the unique aroma of dates was still a bit special. He took the dates and gnawed slowly. With, a little aftertaste.

Children around here rarely have snacks, so jujube is the most delicious snack in the eyes of children.

"Boss Bai, look at your daughter."

The wheat pickers in the distance accidentally saw the scene of Yuxi tasting the dates. The little girl closed her eyes, with a look of endless aftertaste, no matter how she looked at it, she thought it was funny.

Bai Wenli was used to this for a long time, but he still smiled happily seeing his daughter's small appearance, "That's right, my daughter is doing well, just sitting so obediently, not going anywhere, just to make people feel at ease, but I don’t want those naughty boys to have a quiet moment.”

Zhou Shengli looked at Bai Wenli in surprise, "Boss Bai is not like you before, when did you become so fond of children?"

Bai Wenli's violent temper is well-known in the village. He even beats up the little baby at home. He has never seen such an expression today.

Bai Wenli looked at each other amusedly, "Brother Zhou, that's my daughter, the little girl is good, I have never seen such a sensible and obedient child, do you think I can not be hurt?"

Zhou Shengli shook his head amusedly, "Boss Bai, it seems that you have changed, you should be like this, children will inevitably be naughty, and you still expect your son to be obedient and obedient like a girl. If you have developed a girlish character, it's better to be mischievous here, or you will be easily bullied in the future."

Bai Wenli also agreed with Zhou Shengli's words, "Yeah, don't you see that I don't beat my son now, just be naughty if you are naughty."

He didn't say that he didn't beat the child because he made an oath to the old lady, even if he wanted to, he couldn't. Who told him to keep his promise, he still swore to his own mother.

After finishing the work in the field, the people in the village organized to go to other companies to help pick cotton in horse-drawn carts and ox carts. Of course, it would not be for nothing. They had to earn wages, so the family’s pocket money would also come out.

In Yuxi’s view, as long as the people living in their place are not slackers, there is no problem with eating a full stomach. This is much better than in the mainland. In the early 80s, many places in the mainland were not to mention eating steamed buns. Even feeding their stomachs is a problem, but they are different here. Eating steamed buns every day is quite happy from this point of view alone. After all, white flour is also a fine grain.However, they have a big problem here, that is, they can have enough food, but they don’t have much money for living, and the conditions of non-staple food are not as good as those in the mainland.

After the second child of the Bai family became a teacher in middle school, he was regarded as an intellectual and cultural person in the distance, and he was also quite good looking, so some people began to take aim at this handsome young man.More and more people came to matchmaking.

As Geng Mei's sister-in-law, she naturally had to help her brother-in-law with Zhang Luo's matter. After Geng Mei's screening, the rest was up to her brother-in-law's decision.

Today is the day when the last girl will appear on the stage. The brother and sister are standing in the yard playing in thick padded jackets. In fact, Yu Xi just wants to see how this girl looks in advance. The previous ones are not good enough for her. Bai Wenyi didn't like this second uncle, so she pinned her hopes on today's uncle.

She hoped that some second uncles who were literary and artistic youths could find their own happiness. In her mind, compared with other uncles, Bai Wenyi was the only one who was kind to her. Remembering the original rumors or what was going on, he still couldn't get close to her niece.
