"Didn't mother pass away?!" Bai Nan suddenly stood up from the chair. Bai's father never mentioned about Bai's mother, and there is no picture of Bai's mother at home. He always thought that Bai's mother was dead, and when he thought so before, Bai's father never refuted it. That doesn't mean that Bai's mother was acquiesced The fact of death? In the end, tell him now that Bai Ma is not only not dead, but also in S City. "Dad, this joke is not funny at all."
Papa Bai's gaze turned to Baitang. Compared to Bai Nan's fierce expression, the child's expression was too calm, as if he knew this fact a long time ago. But how could it be possible, when that person left, Baitang had just been able to walk and talk.
"Dad, don't lie to me."
"Xiao Nan, this is the truth." If he didn't come back to Bai's house, Bai's father didn't intend to tell about that person. It's not that he can't bear the past, but that he doesn't want the two children to know what kind of person their mother is. "Back then, your mother and I separated for some reason. After that, your mother remarried and had a new family of her own."
"Then why didn't you say it before?"
Papa Bai was silent, and Bai Tang stretched out his hand to rub Bai Nan's head, and the words he said were indifferent: "What happens after you find out? Are you going to come to S City alone to look for her? Don't be stupid, Bai Nan, If she has us in her heart, no matter what Dad says or not, she will appear in front of us to let us know her existence, or do you think Dad stopped her from seeing us?"
Dad Bai looked at his daughter in surprise, "Tangtang..." He had expected Xiao Nan's reaction, but Tangtang, he didn't expect to think so calmly.
"Then I also have the right to know." Bai Nan angrily slapped Baitang's hand on his head, and said loudly to the two of them, "You always say that I am not a child, but you always treat me like a child." Children look at it. The matter of returning to Bai's house is the same, and the matter of mother is also the same, and Baitang, don't you already know?" Otherwise, why didn't he show any surprised expression, and he was able to analyze the problems rationally . In this way, it seems that his reactions are all unreasonable. "Just because I'm one year younger than you, I know everything one step later than you, and you have to hide everything together! Why!"
"Xiao Nan!" Bai Nan's rebound was somewhat unexpected to Bai's father. "Like you, Tangtang just found out about it."
Bai Nan turned her head, "Who is my mother? Where is she in City S now?"
"Your mother's name is Shen Manqin, and she's at the Su family now." After a pause, Bai's father added slowly, "After she got married, she had a daughter who is one year younger than you, Xiao Nan."
"Where is the Su family?" Bai Nan felt that the Su family sounded familiar, but couldn't remember where it was heard. After Papa Bai gave the approximate location, he finally remembered why it sounded so familiar—the one he met in the toy store in the afternoon The uncle who knew Baitang told them that the sibling who robbed his toy was a child of the Su family. Will it be such a coincidence
Bai Nan turned to Bai Tang, "Bai Tang, tell me the truth, who is that uncle today?"
Baitang squinted his eyes, the child has also learned to have eyes. "For a person who met once, how can I still know if his ancestors are eight generations old?"
"What uncle?"
Bai Nan didn't tell Dad Bai, and continued to stare at Bai Tang, saying stubbornly: "You are determined not to let me know anything, right?"
Baitang smiled slightly and said, "If you want to go, Master Li can send you there tomorrow. I won't stop you, and neither will Dad."
Bai Nan's expression sank, and she left Papa Bai's room without saying a word. After the door was closed, Papa Bai looked at Baitang a little hesitant to speak. Since his accident, he has also felt the change in his daughter, and this change is not good or bad, but there is no doubt that this child has become more mature than before. "Tangtang, you don't seem surprised at all?"
"Because Dad never takes me and Bai Nan to visit graves."
This reason seems to make sense, but Dad Bai thinks it's not that simple. However, children will have their own secrets when they grow up. "By the way, this is a mobile phone for you and Xiao Nan. Dad and Grandpa's phone numbers are stored on it."
What Dad Bai took out was a pair of flip phones of the same style, one pink and one white. Baitang took the phone and left.
Walking outside, Bai Tang knocked on Bai Nan's door, but no one made a sound inside, she closed the door handle and turned it, the door opened a crack, and the child was staring at the family portrait of the three of them in a daze. She took a few steps forward, and the child said without raising his head when he heard the footsteps: "I'm still angry, I don't want to see you."
"I'm here to give you a mobile phone." Said, Baitang put the white one on the table.
"Baitang." Baitang turned around and walked a few steps, Bai Nan called out to stop him, "You are not allowed to turn around, just stand there and listen to me."
Bai Tang laughed, and Bai Nan continued to ask: "Do you know why they separated?" He wasn't really stupid, her daughter was only one year younger than him, there must be something wrong inside.
Baitang was a little surprised this time, she thought that the child would only find out the problem the next day when he was angry. So, Baitang turned his head, and the child glared at her non-cooperation. Bai Tang acted as if he hadn't seen it, walked a few steps back, took the family portrait away from him, and at the same time bent down to look directly at the child: "Bai Nan, do you know what status the Bai family has in S City?"
Of course, Bai Nan shook her head, and Bai Tang continued to be persuasive: "Then let me use an analogy, if there is a famous celebrity who gets married and later divorces, then whether he is married or divorced, there will be many newspaper reports, maybe it is still The front page of entertainment news."
"What do you want to say? Forget it, don't tell me the answer yet, I'll figure it out myself." Bai Nan's mind is actually very good, but she used to spend her mind on fun, and there was an older sister who took care of her. Reflection on this aspect will be slower. Therefore, it didn't take long for Bai Nan to find the key from Bai Tang's words just now, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he became very energetic, "You mean the Bai family is very famous in S City, and Dad, as the son of Grandpa, Divorce is such a big event that it will definitely be reported in the newspapers?" In Papa Bai's generation, divorce was a big event.
"You see, some things don't need to wait for others to tell you the answer, you can also find the truth from other channels."
"Then you didn't say it before." Bai Tang looked at him with a smile, and Bai Nan's original righteousness weakened, "I'm the stupid head office, right?"
"If you say you're stupid, you still don't believe it." Baitang smiled softly, "As for how to find the newspapers from that year, and how to distinguish the truth from the reports, that's up to you."
"Then... the Su family she married is also famous in S City?"
"What do you say?"
Finally, Bai Tang left Bai Nan's room with a smile.
The next day, the etiquette teacher that Baitang had predicted really appeared, and it was taught one-on-one by two teachers, a man and a woman. Bai Nan suddenly made a bitter face, but she also knew that she was under the eaves, so she could only obediently follow the teacher to learn etiquette.
In the afternoon, the three members of Bai Jingyang's family returned from their mother-in-law's house. Bai Jingyang has two sons, the eldest son is currently studying abroad, and the youngest son is one year younger than Bai Nan, named Bai Feng.
When they came back, Bai Nan had just finished the etiquette class in the afternoon. Now, she was tired and lay down on the sofa to rest, with her upper and lower eyelids slapped badly. As soon as Bai Feng came in, he saw Bai Nan on the sofa, laughed immediately, walked over very friendly and said, "You are Bai Nan's cousin, right? I am Bai Feng, your cousin."
