Chapter 47: Song Xue: Brother, I found you a wife

The next day, Song Bai Yuan boarded the train home.

He had been training at high intensity for the past few days, so as soon as he got on the train, he leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes to rest.

He didn’t know how long it had been when he heard a clear voice.

“Uncle, please move over!”

Song Bai Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.

Uncle…

He turned his head and saw a little girl talking to a middle-aged man.

Song Bai Yuan’s eyes darkened.

A pair of smiling eyes involuntarily appeared in his mind.

Half a month ago, he had just returned from a mission.

The mission was in the deep mountains and forests on the border, it was very dangerous, and he had been lurking for a long time.

In order to avoid attracting attention, he deliberately grew a beard and dressed unkempt, and finally caught the enemy by surprise.

At that time, he hadn’t had a decent meal in months, and he really missed the braised pork at the state-owned restaurant.

So after reporting to his superiors back at the army, he didn’t even change his clothes, and rushed to the state-owned restaurant to eat.

He was in such a hurry that he forgot to bring his ration coupons and meat coupons, and was even reprimanded by the female staff at the restaurant.

Perhaps he was used to being in the wild and didn’t like to talk, he didn’t argue back.

A kind young woman stepped forward to help him.

He wanted to thank her, but she said:

“No need, Uncle, consider it my treat, just a good deed!”

Song Bai Yuan was stunned by the word “Uncle.”

By the time he reacted, the girl had already left.

Recalling this incident, Song Bai Yuan felt a little regret.

No matter what, he owed her a favor.

If he could see her again, he would definitely thank her properly and treat her to a meal.

Unfortunately, in the vast sea of people, where could he find her?

……

A few days later, Song Bai Yuan finally returned to his hometown.

From afar, he could hear his mother’s loud scolding and his little sister’s wails.

A smile appeared on Song Bai Yuan’s tightly pursed lips.

It seems that his mother is in good health, and his little sister is still as mischievous as ever.

Song Bai Yuan just reached the front door.

His little sister Song Xue was covering her head and screaming as she rushed out.

As soon as she saw him, her eyes lit up, and she threw herself at him:

“Brother! You’re back! I missed you!”

Song He Chunhua was chasing after her with a broom in her hand.

Seeing the familiar tall figure at the door, the broom slipped from her hand, and tears immediately welled up in her eyes.

“My eldest son, you’re finally back!”

Song He ran over and hugged Song Bai Yuan tightly, muttering:

“You’re back… you’re back…”

Other people’s sons who went to the army could call home every one or two months to report their safety.

But her son was different, he often went on missions, and it was very dangerous.

Ever since her son was shot and unconscious for half a month during a mission, Song He had become anxious.

She had also tried to persuade her son to simply retire and change careers.

But her son refused, saying that being a soldier was his lifelong dream, and it was his honor to sacrifice for the country.

Her son was just like her, he was stubborn and never turned back once he had made up his mind.

Song He knew she couldn’t persuade him anymore, so she could only let him go.

Every time her son went to the army, she prepared herself mentally for losing her son.

But every time she saw him return safely, she was overjoyed.

“Son… you’re back… Mom will go to the supply and marketing cooperative!

I heard they just got pork, you love braised pork, Mom will go buy some meat and make it for you!”

Song He wiped her tears with her sleeve, and hurriedly went out with money and coupons from the house.

Song Bai Yuan hadn’t even sat down, and Song He had already rushed out.

Looking at his mother’s departing figure, a wave of warmth surged through Song Bai Yuan’s heart.

It’s so good to be home.

“Brother, did you bring me anything to eat, I want to eat sweet pastries, hehe.”

Song Xue stared at the suitcase in his hand, smiling ingratiatingly.

Song Xue was only 8 years old, she was Song Mu’s posthumous child, so Song Mu doted on her very much.

Although she was a little mischievous, she was very obedient and knew what she should and shouldn’t do.

If it were another family’s child, they would probably be rummaging through their older brother’s suitcase by now.

But Song Xue was well-educated, she stood aside properly and waited for her older brother to feed her.

Song Bai Yuan loved his little sister from the bottom of his heart.

He smiled and rubbed her hair, his voice gentle:

“I was in a hurry this time and didn’t buy you anything, I’ll take you to the department store in the county to have a look and buy you something to eat.”

“Okay, okay!”

Song Xue’s eyes sparkled, she reached into her pocket and pulled out a Da Bai Tu milk candy.

“Brother, here’s some candy for you, I’ve been saving it for days and haven’t dared to eat it!”

Song Bai Yuan: “Brother doesn’t like to eat candy, you eat it.”

But Song Xue broke the Da Bai Tu candy in half and forcefully stuffed it into Song Bai Yuan’s mouth: “We’ll each have half!”

The milky aroma of the Da Bai Tu milk candy instantly filled his mouth.

Song Bai Yuan only felt sweetness in his mouth, and even sweeter in his heart.

Song Xue smiled and asked: “Brother, is it sweet?”

Song Bai Yuan nodded: “Sweet.”

He rarely ate candy, before it was because he didn’t have the conditions, and later when he had the conditions, he found it too sweet and cloying.

But today, this candy was particularly delicious.

Song Xue grinned: “It was given to me by my sister-in-law, she’s so kind!”

Song Bai Yuan’s expression froze: “Where did you get a sister-in-law? You don’t have a brother.”

His grandfather, grandmother, and uncle had all severed ties with them, and neither family had any contact, so it couldn’t be them.

Song Xue burst out laughing: “Brother, you’re silly, aren’t you my brother?”

“Me?” Song Bai Yuan was stunned.

“Yes, brother, don’t you have a partner, I found you a wife.”

Song Xue was smug, she shook her head and said:

“My sister-in-law is very beautiful, and she’s very generous, I traded 5 bird eggs for 5 Da Bai Tu milk candies with her!”

Song Bai Yuan’s face turned serious: “Song Xue, did you go climb trees and steal bird nests again?”

Song Xue puffed up her cheeks: “Oh, that’s not the point, why didn’t you listen to what I said?”

Song Bai Yuan: “I heard you, you’re just thinking about her candy.”

Song Xue:……

“I’m not! I didn’t! Don’t talk nonsense!”

She was angry, hmph!

Song Bai Yuan: “Okay, don’t be angry, brother was just joking.

Also, don’t always say sister-in-law, sister-in-law, it’s not a done deal, don’t ruin her reputation.”

“I know.” Song Xue winked at him, and chuckled:

“Then I’ll take you to meet the beautiful sister, maybe things will work out after you meet, and she’ll really become my sister-in-law!”

“Okay, little matchmaker, stop joking.”

Song Bai Yuan stood up, “I’ll go to the kitchen and see if anything is missing.”

“Hmph!”

Song Xue pouted, her bright eyes rolled around.

She had to think of a way to get her brother and the beautiful sister to meet.

What if the beautiful sister was chased away by someone else?

Then she wouldn’t have Da Bai Tu milk candy anymore.

No, no… she wouldn’t have the beautiful sister to look at anymore.

Yes, that’s the real reason!

The first time they met, she casually called her beautiful sister to get some candy.

But later, she called her sincerely.

One time when she went to find the beautiful sister, she saw her washing her hair by the river.

The sun was just setting, and the sunset shone on the beautiful sister’s uncovered face, it was so beautiful.

From that moment on, she had the idea of introducing the beautiful sister to her brother.

After all, what’s the saying…

Um…

Song Xue scratched her head, something flashed through her mind.

Oh right! Don’t let the water flow to outsiders!

Oh, she’s so smart (✧ω✧)!
