Chapter 209 "Your father and I have made an agreement. If you come, you won't leave!"
During this period, Bai Fenglian and Liu Changsheng stopped doing farm work and sat on the kang every day, thinking about how to get their daughter and son-in-law to settle them down in the big city where the army was stationed.
"No, we have to find Junhui and Yonggang and ask them to find a way to get our household registration done so we can eat commercial grain!"
Bai Fenglian frowned and came up with an extreme idea.
Liu Changsheng thought about it, agreed, and nodded.
However, he then raised a question, "But Junhui hasn't written to us yet, and we don't have the address of Li Yonggang's unit. Where can we find them?"
When Bai Fenglian heard this, she also felt that this was a difficult problem.
But Bai Fenglian has a solution.
She immediately went to her daughter's room to look for a letter from Li Yonggang to Junhui before she went to the army. Wasn't there an address on the envelope?
Since Liu Junhui got engaged to Li Yonggang last year, she has been taking care of her paralyzed mother-in-law Zhou Huaying and basically no longer lives in this house in her parents' home.
Bai Fenglian thought that if she couldn't find Li Yonggang's letter in this room, she would go to Zhou Huaying's house and must find the address.
Liu Junhui received the last letter from Li Yonggang, which was the letter asking her to take her mother to the military hospital for surgery. After reading it, she put it in her pocket.
Before leaving, Liu Junhui returned to her mother's house to change clothes, and placed the old clothes she took off on the kang.
Bai Fenglian found the letter in the pocket of the dress and laughed out loud with joy, "Haha! God is helping me!"
Li Yonggang's letter was written in the 698 Hospital. The envelope was signed 698 Hospital, and the address of the 698 Hospital was stated in the letter.
With this address, Bai Fenglian and Liu Changsheng couldn't wait to pack some local specialties, as well as dry food and pickles for the journey, and took a long train to the Southern Xinjiang Railway Station.
The old couple took more than 698 hours by train, and it took them three full days to find the Hospital!
In order to save money, the couple rode private tractors and ox carts. When the people saw that they were farmers from other places, they bullied them.
He dragged them around, farther and farther, even to the streets and alleys of Wanghai City.
However, this also allowed Bai Fenglian and Liu Changsheng to get to know Wanghai City and many nearby places.
"Oh, this place is so great, it's like heaven!"
This further strengthened Bai Fenglian and Liu Changsheng's determination to bid farewell to the poor and backward northern countryside and settle down in the south forever.
Three days later, the couple, feeling dizzy from all the hassle, finally met a kind old man driving an ox cart and found the 698 Hospital.
After Bai Fenglian revealed her idea of not leaving, Liu Junhui and her mother-in-law Zhou Huaying were shocked. They were thinking about how to dissuade Bai Fenglian and Liu Changsheng from staying in this house for a long time.
Just think about it, if Bai Fenglian and Liu Changsheng stayed and lived in this house for a long time, wouldn’t that be troublesome?
The house is not big enough, the couple eats and drinks for free, and they will get sick and suffer disasters. Moreover, the older people get, the more troubles they have.
Liu Junhui spoke first, "Mom, is the land at home doing well?"
What Liu Junhui meant was that you have to go back home and farm after staying here for a few days.
Bai Fenglian knew what her daughter meant and immediately said, "We don't need to farm the private plot anymore. I've already given it to your brother and sister-in-law."
Zhou Huaying quickly responded, "Hey, Fenglian, you can't just give this land to anyone. You have to rely on that little bit of land to make a living!"
Bai Fenglian is not a kind person and has a sharp tongue. She is never polite when speaking.
"My dear relatives, we have come to your place. If you have food to eat here, we must have food to eat here."
Liu Changsheng immediately chimed in, "Yes, we only have one daughter. Living with her is perfectly acceptable no matter where we live."
Since the couple has said so much, Liu Junhui will not be polite. After all, they are not her biological parents.
"Mom, you just said that we only have a few rooms, and they're full with four of us. There's no room for you guys."
Bai Fenglian glared, "Junhui, it seems you've really changed your mind! You haven't even written to us in half a year. We finally got here, and you're kicking us out? Are you still our daughter?!"
Liu Junhui's expression turned ugly. "I'm not trying to drive you away. I'm telling you the truth. It's hot in the south, and six of us are squeezed into a small house, stewing shrimp paste!"
Liu Changsheng spoke up, "It's okay. Rural people don't have so many fussies. The two of us can just sleep on the floor in the living room!"
Zhou Huaying immediately disagreed, "That won't work. The south is so humid, and sleeping on the floor for a long time will give you rheumatism."
Bai Fenglian stared at Liu Junhui, acting like a mother. "Junhui, send your adopted child to the welfare home and make room for us."
When Liu Junhui heard this, her scalp tingled.
Are you kidding? My savior Xiang Guodong entrusted his six-year-old daughter Xiang Junlan to me before he died. We finally integrated, and you want me to send her to an orphanage?
How dare you say that!
Liu Junhui spoke harshly to Bai Fenglian, "That's impossible! She's already my daughter! I can't bear to part with her! Don't come up with such a stupid idea!"
Bai Fenglian reached out and slapped the coffee table. With a bang, the fruits on the table jumped up.
"You silly girl! To put it bluntly, you've changed your mind after living a good life. You simply despise us! Let me tell you, your father and I have made a deal. If you're here, you're not leaving. I don't believe you'd dare to throw us out!"
Just as they were about to start a quarrel, the door lock rang and Li Yonggang came back.
Because Liu Junhui and her mother-in-law were going to cut vegetables and make dumplings in the afternoon, Liu Junhui told Li Yonggang to pick up Xiang Junlan when he returned home.
Li Yonggang has a car, and Liu Junhui intends to let him and Jun Lan have more contact and deepen their relationship.
Downstairs, Li Yonggang asked the driver Xiao Zhao to drive back. He led Xiang Junlan upstairs and took out the room key to open the door.
Li Yonggang never expected that Bai Fenglian and Liu Changsheng would come suddenly, and as soon as he came in, he immediately felt that the atmosphere in the room was wrong, as if they were arguing.
In theory, Li Yonggang and Liu Junhui are already engaged, so Bai Fenglian and Liu Changsheng are his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
But Bai Fenglian's character and personality were so bad that Li Yonggang didn't like Bai Fenglian at all since he was a child, and even hated her very much.
Liu Changsheng is slightly better, but he is an extremely selfish person, and Li Yonggang cannot even say that he has a father-son-in-law relationship with him.
Out of courtesy and to stop the quarrel, Li Yonggang immediately stepped forward and said to Bai Fenglian and Liu Changsheng, "You are here? Thank you for your hard journey."
