Chapter 010: Leaving Home
Lu Xinping gazed at Bei Hai, unable to hold back her tears: "I don't know how long it will be before the child returns next time. I hope it won't be another two or three years. Although I can see them online, it is nowhere near the same as meeting face to face."
Old Master Sun's words were unreliable, being two days late compared to the agreed time. Upon returning, he repeatedly apologized to Bei Hai. Bei Hai had originally intended to leave the cigarettes behind, but Old Master Sun adamantly refused to accept them. As for the five little dogs, they were all carried to Bei Hai's car and only turned back after watching the car until it was out of sight.
Who did you hear this from? Bei Hai was utterly bemused. There is indeed chaos in the United States, but there are also very conservative elements, such as devout Catholic families with strict upbringing. Moreover, the further one goes into the countryside, the more conservative it becomes. To be honest, when it comes to this kind of disorder, the large cities in China are not much better than those in the United States.
Lu Xinping immediately asked her son in surprise, "A basket for twenty yuan?" Seeing her son nod, she asked again, "Where did you buy it? Is there any left? We should buy a bit more to give to others."
Mom, it's fine, this thing has no pesticides." Bei Hai also picked one up and took a bite.
Lu Xinping listened to her son's words, took a peach, and after taking a bite, praised it endlessly: "This peach is excellent. Although it may not look particularly impressive on the outside, its taste is incredibly sweet and fresh. I haven't had such a good peach in a long time"
Bei Mingyuan said: "Look, can't you be a little happier? Every time we talk, you drop golden beans!"
"Just eat like this. The vendor is buying while also eating," said Bei Hai.
Upon hearing his wife's words, Bei Mingyuan sighed and found it difficult to respond
Lu Xinping stretched twice before stopping, smiling happily as she looked at her son: "Son has grown up and knows how to care for his mother. If there were another little grandson, my life would be complete."
"Once this arrives there, it needs to be eaten quickly, otherwise it will spoil. This can be set aside for a while..." Lu Xinping said while putting things into her bag
During the following time, Bei Hai stayed by his parents' side, watching television every day, and then it was just a cycle of eating and sleeping. He lived a life akin to that of a pig beside his parents. The only somewhat decent entertainment activity was playing a guessing game of "Who is Who" with his two little nieces, a game in which Bei Hai won less often than he lost.
I want to go too
I said, "You've been back for so long, what about the dog situation?" Du He, upon speaking, got straight to the point, directly addressing the task assigned to Bei Hai.
After speaking, she began to tap on the baskets in the room, starting to calculate which basket to send to whom and so forth. In short, the six baskets of peaches were quickly distributed by Lu Xinping, leaving Bei Hai secretly lamenting that he should have prepared a few more baskets.
Even if there are no pesticides, the fuzz on the peaches still needs to be washed
"Forget it," said Bei Hai. Du He and Xu Hui had made their way up; in just a few years, they had both become bosses. Although the compensation was not low, Bei Hai did not want to take advantage of their favor. He had already declined once at that time, and now that he had obtained such a treasure for himself, it was naturally even less likely that he would accept.
Uncle! Nephew! The crisp voices of children echoed back and forth as the two little ones waited for the door to open, ready to rush out towards the picture book.
On this side of Beihai, everything is going well, but on Duhe's side, there are some headaches: "Why aren't there two males?"
Bei Hai said with a smile: "You can rest assured that I will take care of everything for you. I have arranged for two dogs, one male and one female, raised from two litters, so they can reproduce on their own."
Upon hearing Bei Hai, she laughed: "The last six baskets have all been sold out." Just a moment ago, she was lamenting her reckless spending, but as soon as she heard that one basket was only twenty yuan, she immediately asked if there were any left. Her mother still knows how to be frugal.
Finally, six baskets of peaches were placed in the trunk, and when preparing to return, it was said that they were bought along the way
Bei Hai did not want to get entangled with his mother over this issue and focused on moving the peaches. After watching her son make two trips, Lu Xinping went directly to the kitchen to prepare lunch
"Let's talk later!" Bei Hai asked if there was anything else, and upon receiving no response, he hung up the phone
Bei Hai was carrying a basket: "I told you not to make me go on blind dates anymore. I'm only twenty-five, why should I be going on blind dates? Besides, I really can't handle those girls." If his mother were to talk, she would surely end up bringing up blind dates again. Bei Hai himself didn't understand why he should be going on blind dates at his age.
Oh dear! These two little pigs are heavy. Bei Hai is carrying one in each hand, holding his twin nieces as he walks into the yard. After taking a couple of steps, he suddenly remembers that there are peaches in the car.
The car arrived at the entrance, and Bei Hai jumped down to park it by the roadside. Just as he was about to open the courtyard gate, he heard the main gate creak open.
As I spoke, I began to wipe away my tears
Oh, the two little gluttons have already started eating. After moving the last basket, Bei Hai saw that both of his little nieces each had a peach in hand, and they were eating so messily that their faces were covered in peach juice
At noon, Bei Mingyuan returned home and praised a peach he ate. In the evening, his sister Bei Yi and brother-in-law Zheng Xifu also praised the peaches repeatedly.
In about twenty days, how are you preparing to use the car
As soon as Lu Xinping shed a tear, the two little girls quickly followed suit and began to wail. Looking at their grandmother, they too cried, and soon Beiyi's eyes turned red.
Although I did not think about what I could do, having this thing makes it seem like even being a mover and buying a house is a small matter! Let's first cash in the blank check and see what happens next
However, as Bei Hai got into the car and looked at his mother through the rearview mirror, he saw her crying and waving at him, which made his heart feel heavy. He almost wanted to suggest taking a day off before leaving. Nevertheless, Bei Hai held back, gently wiped the damp corner of his eye, and pressed down on the accelerator
In the past, Bei Hai did not bring so many items back, as many things had to go through security checks and were not allowed to be brought. If one is unaware of this, it can be quite inconvenient. Moreover, the Chinese supermarkets in the United States now truly have everything.
Upon hearing this, Bei Hai's mother, Lu Xinping, immediately walked out of the house and, looking at the six baskets of peaches in the trunk, complained, "Why are you spending money so recklessly again? A couple of baskets of fruit would suffice, why buy so many at once!"
The atmosphere improved significantly upon mentioning the purchase of a house
After staying at home for nearly twenty days, Bei Hai finally set off for Mingzhu and then returned to Los Angeles
Mom and Dad, wait for me to come back during Christmas, or I can take you both over there said Bei Hai, opening his mouth to speak: who knows, by the end of the year I might be able to buy a house
"It's nothing!" one of the little girls spoke up. As for who it was, Bei Hai could not be entirely sure; only Lu Xinping and Bei Hai's sister, as well as the two young ladies' mother, Bei Yi, had this ability.
I want to go too
This is not about the size of the house. Rest assured, we will also show it to you two at that time, " said Bei Hai.
"I brought everything that isn't prohibited by security checks," Bei Haile said with a smile. Now that he has space, he could not only bring these items but even manage to transport an elephant to the United States.
This time, my younger brother performed very well; he wanted whatever was given! How unlike last time, when he didn't want to bring anything at all," Bei Yi said with a smile, looking at the numerous packages in the living room.
"Let me carry it, it's over thirty pounds". Bei Hai looked at his mother, who was also carrying a basket, and immediately took the basket from her hands.
"There is no need for others to say anything; one can see it on television," said Lu Xinping
Lu Xinping said with a smile, "Mier, you little thing, what do you know? Oh! There really aren't any peach fuzz." Before she could finish her sentence, she noticed the peaches in the basket
"It's quite cheap, a basket is only twenty yuan," Bei Hai could only say this.
"Think about it again, Xu Hui is also considering coming over. If things go well, Carson can come too," Du He said.
As for the work of operating the crane at the dock, it was a job that Bei Hai secured before returning to the country. He underwent training first and then took up the position; otherwise, it would not have been possible for Bei Hai to have two months to return home for a family visit
"I just asked, you can keep driving the car for now. After all, the company's matters are just getting started, and it will take more than a month to finish the renovations. You can come back before the opening," Du He said, pausing for a moment before advising Bei Hai, "Are you really planning to go back to the United States to work at the dock operating cranes and drawing? I told you to work with me and Xu Hui, that way the three of us brothers will all be in Mingzhu."
In a deserted area halfway through the journey, Bei Hai stopped the car and placed all five puppies into the space. He dared not leave the dogs at home, as he was unsure what kind of trouble the two little rascals at home might cause if they took a liking to them
Lu Xinping said: "I have heard people say that the lives of those foreign devils are chaotic. What would you do if you brought back such a wife? Our local girls are better; they know how to maintain their dignity"
Uncle also bought peaches. Bei Haile, smiling, carried two little troublemakers and walked towards the car.
Is that true? As soon as Lu Xinping heard that her son was planning to buy a house, she immediately held back her tears: "If money is tight, your father and I can still give you a little."
The two little ones also shed tears, clamoring to go live in the American house by the bay, to which the bay naturally responded with a cheerful agreement
The sound from Bei Hai was somewhat loud, and was immediately heard by Lu Xinping, who quickly put down her spoon and ran over: "What if it hasn't been washed and there are pesticides? We might end up with diarrhea again..."
Upon seeing several baskets of peaches behind the car, the two little girls immediately ran home, shouting as they ran: "Grandma, Uncle bought a lot of peaches"
On the other side of the Duhe, it has become a bit unbearable: "One male and one female, so be it. You have done quite well with your matters! When will you return to Mingzhu?"
As the car arrived at the doorstep, Bei Hai heard his phone ringing in his pocket. Upon taking it out, he saw that it was a call from his friend Du He.
"It would be good enough to get two, yet you are still being picky," Bei Hai directly complained to Du He for a while.
There are two males in the space, but if both are given to Du He, leaving only three females for himself, how can that be acceptable
