Chapter 83 Bai Ruoan, what a nice name

Lu Yuanqiu walked in carrying a bunch of things. He could smell a faint fragrance, a bit like the smell of Bai Qingxia. The floor in the house was not tiled, but cement, so it seemed that he didn't need to change shoes.

But the ground was swept very clean.

He put the things on the ground and looked around.

There is only one room, about ten square meters, but the middle of the room is divided by about three-quarters by a large curtain, leaving a quarter entrance on the left side, dividing the room into two rooms.

There was very little furniture inside, or almost no furniture, and the "room" outside only had a bed, a square table, and two small benches.

Uncle Bai was currently wearing a worn short-sleeved shirt and shorts, lying on the bed outside with his legs spread out, sleeping.

Lu Yuanqiu guessed that the second "room" separated by the curtain was Bai Qingxia's "bedroom".

He turned around and smiled: "It looks... pretty good."

The girl stood at the door with her head down, looking embarrassed.

Lu Yuanqiu asked: "Can I take a look inside?"

Bai Qingxia nodded slightly.

Lu Yuanqiu walked inside and paused for a moment because the "bedroom" behind the curtain was much more beautiful than he had imagined.

Both walls were covered with newspapers, but the newspapers were painted pink. Bai Qingxia really liked pink, just like Lu Yidong. However, the expensive pink wallpaper in Lu Yidong's bedroom was not made of newspapers.

There was a bed inside with a neatly folded floral quilt on it, and a paint-chipped wardrobe against the wall. There were probably not many clothes in it, otherwise the girl wouldn't have worn her school uniform all year round.

Apart from that, there was a very old desk and a chair, but one of the legs was wrapped with many circles of tape.

Lu Yuanqiu felt some movement behind him. He turned around and saw Bai Qingxia following him.

The girl clenched her hands in front of her, glanced at Lu Yuanqiu nervously, and stood aside without saying a word.

Lu Yuanqiu walked to the bed and sat down. The bed board was so hard that it hurt his butt. He didn't complain, but turned his head to look at the photo frames hanging on the wall above the bed.

“So many photos…”

"That was before my parents, and my brother, Lu Yuanqiu, my mother and my brother..."

Lu Yuanqiu interrupted: "I heard about your story once by chance from a sanitation worker at the gate of No. 65 Middle School, but I didn't know it was you at that time."

Bai Qingxia was slightly startled, and pointed backwards with her little hand: "It should be the grandfather who lives in the alley around the corner... I see him going out with a broom every morning at around five o'clock."

Lu Yuanqiu didn't care what time the grandfather went out, and he didn't have any feelings for his grandmother.

He asked, "Did you know that your father used to be a big boss?"

Bai Qingxia nodded like a primary school student answering a question: "I have heard of it, but my father doesn't talk much about the past."

I believe that Uncle Bai did not tell his daughter about the conspiracy. Bai Qingxia may not even know that her father's previous company was Bai Xi Food.

I don’t know if this girl has ever eaten White Rhino instant noodles. She must have seen it in the supermarket. When passing by it, does she know that it is her father’s hard work?
Lu Yuanqiu thought to himself.

If Uncle Bai hadn't told her, Lu Yuanqiu wouldn't be able to say it for the time being. Uncle Bai must have his own reasons for not saying anything for so many years.

Lu Yuanqiu began to look at these photos.

He saw a woman in a ballet costume. She was indeed very beautiful and had great temperament, like a proud white swan or a star. She looked a bit like Bai Qingxia with a more mature temperament.

He also saw Bai Songzhe, but in the photo, Bai Songzhe was wearing worker clothes and a yellow safety helmet on his head. He was hugged by several workers and smiled at the camera with a dusty face.

After going bankrupt, Uncle Bai must have gone to work on a construction site. It's quite sad. He probably needed money urgently, and a business elite became a migrant worker.

Lu Yuanqiu couldn't help but turn around and ask, "Where are your other relatives? Didn't they look for you?"

"My parents met in an orphanage when they were young, grew up together, went to school, got married, and then had my brother and me." Bai Qingxia held the little hand in front of her, looked at the boy beside the bed, and answered the question seriously.

Lu Yuanqiu was stunned.

It turns out that her parents are orphans. No wonder, no wonder the girl had to shoulder everything by herself and no relatives or friends came to help during the process.

Because she has no relatives.

However, I never expected that Uncle Bai was so pure in love. He and Auntie are childhood sweethearts.

Lu Yuanqiu continued to look back and saw the most conspicuous photo on the wall.

In the photo, a four or five-year-old girl with two small pigtails and wearing a bright red dress is held in the arms of a ten-year-old boy wearing overalls. Both of them are laughing happily at the camera.

The photos are a bit old and yellowed.

The little girl is obviously Bai Qingxia. You can tell from her face that she has been beautiful since she was young. The boy who is about ten years old is probably her brother.

My brother is very handsome. He has the same fair skin as Bai Qingxia and his eyes are very similar to Bai Qingxia's. The whole family is good-looking. If he grows up a little more, my brother will probably be much more handsome than Zheng Yifeng.

Lu Yuanqiu sighed. If his brother hadn’t died, he would probably be 22 years old now.

If he were still here, my sister would definitely be well protected.

On the night of the car accident, when the brother limped back home with 500 yuan, would he still be happily thinking that he finally had money to buy snacks for his sister?

"Your two little tufts of hair are so cute, why don't you tie them up now?"

Lu Yuanqiu turned around and smiled.

Bai Qingxia said embarrassedly: "I got it when I was a kid..."

"What's your brother's name?"

"Bai Ruoan."

"This name sounds nice..."

Lu Yuanqiu said with a sigh.

He stood up, rubbed his stomach, and said, "Let's cook. I'm hungry."

Hearing this, Bai Qingxia immediately turned around and went outside, brought a large bag of things over, and said, "Take a look first, what do you want to eat? What goes with what?"

"I don't mind. I'm not picky about food."

As he was talking, Lu Yuanqiu picked up the shopping receipt from the shopping bag and took a look at it. It was 156 yuan. He looked up at the girl in surprise and asked, "Heavy bleeding?"

Bai Qingxia was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly. She wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it. She could only turn around quickly with the bag in her arms and said, "I'll go cook!"

Why is she so enthusiastic about cooking?

This was the first time that Lu Yuanqiu felt the word "passion" in a girl.

He followed her out and saw Bai Qingxia leave the room and come to the end of the corridor on the second floor. It turned out that there was a very simple stove and a sink built there.

The girl started to get busy, and Lu Yuanqiu leaned against the door and looked at her back. At this time, the heavily made-up woman slowly walked out from the door next to her and leaned against the door like Lu Yuanqiu.

"Is Xiao Xia pretty?"

The woman asked casually.
