RPAGF Chapter 46 Baiyang
Chapter 46 Baiyang
Grandma Bai was happy: "If you like it, come often, I will cook it for you."
Father Qin chuckled: "How can I feel embarrassed about that?"
The father and son even have the same rhetoric.
Grandma Bai is an elderly person and it is unrealistic for her to cook by herself.
Normally, she would ask the servants to prepare the side dishes, and she would be in charge of directing the process, focusing on participation.
The chef who cooks is an old man who is used to working for the Bai family. He has been controlled by Grandma Bai for more than ten years and has learned her true skills.
The two of them had already practiced to such a tacit understanding that they cooperated seamlessly, as if they were Grandma Bai's second pair of hands, and the food they made tasted very similar.
"You kids have grown up. In the blink of an eye, you have all started your own families and careers, and have become respectable adults."
Grandma Bai was filled with emotion.
"You are usually busy with work. Being busy is a good thing. It means that you are capable of taking over the burden from the older generation. The country will still rely on you young people in the future! Alas, if our Boyang were still alive--"
The sound stopped abruptly, and the lively atmosphere in the room suddenly became stagnant.
Grandma Bai also knew that she had said something wrong, so she smiled and tried to smooth things over: "When people get old, they like to nag. You are busy with work. If you don't have time to take care of the children, then let Ling Zheng come to my house for dinner more often. It's just a matter of adding an extra pair of chopsticks. It's good to have some fun."
Qin's father agreed repeatedly.
Qin Lingzheng whispered to Bai Yuan: "Who is Bai Yang?"
Bai Yuan also heard this name for the first time. He did not bother to push Qin Lingzheng away. He pondered for a moment and guessed, "It should be my uncle."
Bai's father was the third child in the family, and Bai Yao was her second uncle. After much thought, the only person who could make Grandma Bai remain silent was her uncle, Bai Yang, who had never been mentioned and sacrificed his life for the country at a young age and had become a martyr.
This name is not a taboo in the Bai family, but after all, it is a deceased person. The two elders of the Bai family are old and can't help feeling sad and uncomfortable. They only go to the national cemetery to pay tribute around Qingming Festival and Memorial Day every year.
Bai Yuan was young and had never gone with the group to worship, but Bai Ou did go once when he came back the year before last.
On the way back, Qin Lingzheng couldn't help but ask his father about "Bai Yang".
Qin's father did not give a direct answer. Instead, he said to Qin's mother with deep emotion: "Look, time flies by so fast. Kids nowadays don't even know about Boyang."
The eldest son of the Bai family was once a child of destiny. He was a hot and enthusiastic young man like the blazing sun. He should have been shining and had a bright future. It was a pity that he died young. God was jealous of his talent. It is always a pity to talk about it.
Mother Qin said to her son, "You are still young now. Just remember that 'Bai Yang' is a hero who saved many people. Wait a few years until you grow up. If you still want to hear it, we will tell you."
It's not that the couple is being mysterious.
But adults and children have different ideas after all.
For some things, they must understand the truth, distinguish right from wrong, know good from evil, and know when to advance and retreat before they can be taught by words and deeds, so that they can have a deeper understanding.
At the end of August, the children in the senior class of the compound kindergarten officially announced their graduation and are about to become glorious primary school students.
The kindergarten specially prepared a graduation ceremony for them. They were all wearing black graduation gowns and looked energetic and bright as they listened to the principal read out the graduation speech.
In order to increase the sense of ceremony, children from the middle and small classes also listened in the audience.
While waiting for the small class to present their gift, Bai Yuan walked up to the podium with a violin in his hand. He first tuned the strings in an orderly manner, and then played the instrument.
A long melody of "Farewell" was played, full of emotion and lingering.
The atmosphere was created just right, and many of the parents who were watching had tears in their eyes, witnessing such an important moment in the lives of these children.
When the song ended, the audience burst into applause.
Bai Yuan bowed in farewell.
When he looked up, he saw Qin Lingzheng winking at him from the audience.
From his lip movements and clumsy self-made sign language, one could barely tell that he wanted Bai Yuan to wait for him and go together.
After the ceremony, the head teacher led the new students to Dayuan Primary School.
It’s not far, just five minutes away. If you walk quickly, you can get there in two or three minutes.
After entering the elementary school, you will be assigned seats according to your class and then seamlessly attend the opening ceremony, and you will officially be a first-grade elementary school student.
Bai Yuan's kindergarten finished school early, so she didn't think about waiting for Qin Lingzheng to leave together and planned to walk back by herself.
After putting on her schoolbag and packing her piano case, she looked up and saw Song Yanming standing at the kindergarten gate looking at her.
Bai Yuan first greeted the teacher of the small class, said goodbye seriously, and then went to greet him.
Seeing that she was carrying a lot of bags, including a schoolbag and a piano case, Song Yanming took the initiative to help her carry the piano case.
Bai Yuan shook his head and refused: "No need."
Song Yanming did not force it, knowing that Qin Lingzheng was in the school auditorium listening to the principal's speech and the opening ceremony, so he put one hand in his pocket and asked:
"Will you wait for him?"
Bai Yuan shook his head: "No."
The two reached a tacit understanding and returned to the Bai family together.
After Qin Lingzheng finished the opening ceremony, he hurried back to the kindergarten, only to find that the gates were closed and there was no sign of Bai Yuan around.
So he rushed to Bai's house in a hurry. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the little girl eating fruit leisurely. Half of his anger disappeared immediately, and the other half turned into grievance. He came up to her pitifully:
"I just made a gesture to you, did you understand?"
"Yes." Bai Yuan answered truthfully.
Qin Lingzheng immediately pretended to question him, gritting his teeth and saying, "Then why didn't you wait for me?"
Bai Yuan: "If you don't want to wait, then don't wait. Why ask so many questions?"
Qin Lingzheng said softly, "Didn't we walk together before? I even came to your house for dinner!"
Bai Yuan was also puzzled and asked, "Don't you know the way?"
Qin Lingzheng: ...
Qin Lingzheng: "That's not the case."
Qin Lingzheng went to elementary school, and Bai Yuan had a lot more peace and quiet in kindergarten.
Before, he would go back and forth every now and then, wandering around the classes like a jerk on the street, without any organization or discipline.
Now that the biggest troublemaker is gone, the kindergarten teachers have welcomed the spring. They are all smiling and want to celebrate with drums and gongs.
After spending a peaceful and leisurely morning in kindergarten, the kindergarten teacher led the children to the backyard to burn off energy and engage in outdoor activities.
Bai Yuan was playing shuttlecock with a group of children. He gradually got the hang of it and could kick more than twenty times in one breath. While he was kicking, he always felt someone was calling him.
When I looked up, I saw Qin Lingzheng, who was wearing the first-grade school uniform of Dayuan Primary School, holding on to the fence of the kindergarten with both hands and looking inside like a prison visitor.
Judging from the situation, if there is no movement here, he will squeeze in through the railing.
When he saw Bai Yuan, their eyes met and Qin Lingzheng immediately smiled: "Bai Yuan - Sister Bai Yuan - here!"
Bai Yuan thought he had something important to tell him, so he explained it to the other kids and walked towards him.
"Is something wrong?"
Qin Lingzheng chuckled: "It's okay, I just came out to see you, I have to go back to class later!"
It seems that the child hasn't finished school yet and he sneaked out during the break.
Bai Yuan:......
Bai Yuan: "Are you sick?"
