Chapter 10
Getting off the airport bus, Bai Tang immediately saw Bai's father and Bai's mother standing side by side under the tree.Not seeing each other for a year, the two elders have not changed much, and their spirits are hale and hearty, which made Baitang feel relieved.Seeing their daughter getting off the car, the two elders came over.

"Why is there so little luggage?" Papa Bai took the bag from his daughter, glanced behind her, and found that there was nothing else in the suitcase except the bag in his hand.

"You kid won't treat all your luggage as garbage, will you?" Bai's mother is very troubled by her daughter's extravagance, and often tells her to hold on to the money in her hands. This kid is still so wasteful.

"No!" Baitang wrapped his arms around his parents' arms respectively, and led them towards home together, "I'll tell you about the luggage in detail when I get home!"

The whole family went home happily and affectionately, entered the community, met many acquaintances along the way, and greeted Baitang with a smile.

"Tangtang is home? Come to Auntie when you're free. Come and sit at Uncle's!"

Baitang responded one by one with a smile, these elders watched her grow up, although some dirty things would inevitably happen during the period, but some trivial matters, everyone never took them to heart.

"When will you move?" Bai Tang asked Mama Bai while climbing the fourth floor.

Baitang's home is in an old district in the center of the city. The whole community has a history of more than 40 years. The small building they live in is relatively young in the community, but the year of construction is older than Baitang's.In fact, the location of this community is very good. It is located in the city center, opposite to the Civic Center Plaza built by the city government at a large expense, and there are many shopping malls around it.Many developers have long taken a fancy to this land, but unfortunately this land belongs to a factory and mining company. There is a conflict between the company and the ZF, and neither of the two parties wants to take advantage of the other. Therefore, such a piece of land with great development prospects for attracting money has been put on hold.Residents in the community who are looking forward to living in new houses have to continue to live in old houses amid complaints.

"Who knows!" Bai Mama sighed, "every year it is said that it will be demolished, but it is not done. It has been five years, and we have given up the idea of ​​living in a new house!"

"Of course we have to live in the new house. Since we don't want to move, let's buy a house ourselves!" Baitang said proudly. He had more than 200 million deposits on his card. He couldn't buy a good house in a big city, but in his hometown, a third-tier city , You can buy four or five houses with three bedrooms and two living rooms.

"Your dad and I only have a deposit of more than 30 yuan. We can only buy a two-bedroom house, and there will be no decoration fee after buying it. Let's wait for two years!"

"Don't wait two years! Let's buy a new house now, without your money. I have money for your daughter, so I will honor you by buying a house!"

"Where did you get so much money?" Bai's mother asked in surprise, how could she, as a mother, not understand her daughter's financial conditions?When I first graduated, my monthly salary was only 2000 yuan, but it rose to 6000 yuan a month after five years.The standard of living in the south is high, plus paying rent and the like, my daughter doesn't have much money left every month.It is not bad to have a deposit of [-] yuan. How can I have extra money to buy a house?
"Haha, that's what I'm going to tell you!" As they spoke, the three of them had already reached the fourth floor. Father Bai opened the door, and the family of three entered the room.

Baitang took a look at the house that hadn't changed much from his memory, walked to the window, closed the window first, and then drew the curtains to block the view of the building opposite.

"What the hell are you doing, girl?" Mother Bai and Father Bai were at a loss.

"Hey! Parents, don't blink your eyes! Now is the time to witness a miracle!" Baitang waved his hand, and a large package with a single knot and a large cardboard box full of books suddenly appeared in the center of the living room.

"What, what is this?" Mother Bai and Father Bai were so shocked, they thought they were dazzled.

"My luggage!" Baitang replied with a smile.

"Who asked you this? I'm asking you, why did these things suddenly appear?" Mother Bai asked her daughter's face.

"Is this something in your sleeve?" Papa Bai asked hesitantly.I forgot to mention that Papa Bai is a descendant of Taoism. He once worshiped a famous Taoist elder as his teacher, and he has a lot of research on Taoist culture.

Mama Bai's eyes sparkled immediately: "Tangtang, you don't have the portable space that is often mentioned in novels, do you?"

"Almost!" Bai Tang didn't expect his parents' ability to accept hunger to be so strong, so he told his parents in detail about the world where he went online with thunder and was hacked into the world of Red Mansions.Her parents are her closest relatives, she was not willing to hide them, not to mention, she will have to go back and forth between two worlds in the future, and her parents can help her cover up if they know the truth.

"Girl, who else knows about this?" Father Bai raised his face and asked seriously.

"Dad, don't worry. I didn't tell anyone except you." Baitang said, "I don't want to be sectioned!"

"That's good! This secret must be kept well!" said Bai's mother.

"Dad, Mom, look at the presents I brought back to you from ancient times!" The secret was revealed, and Baitang showed off his gains to his parents in a happy mood.After a while, the coffee table was filled with all kinds of ancient items: wood carvings of red sandalwood, white jade bracelets, golden hairpins, blue and white porcelain vases and tea sets...everything is a priceless antique.

"Good things!" Father Bai and Mother Bai were full of admiration when they touched these things. They both like to watch the "Appraisal of Treasures" program on TV, and they are also very interested in antiques.It's a pity that there is no money, and the two can't afford antiques.

"I want to put these things away properly and make them family heirlooms in the future!" Mama Bai said.

"Mom, these are ordinary things. You and dad can just play with them. Don't worry about keeping them. If you break them, I will go to the Red Mansion World to get them!" Bai Tang didn't care about these "antiques", they were just hers I bought it for 200 taels of silver, which was very cheap.

"You prodigal child!" Bai's mother slapped her daughter, "Your system is very mysterious, if it suddenly disappears that day, you won't be able to go to the world of red chambers, how can you get these antiques?"

Baitang rubbed the back of his head: "Is it okay if I'm wrong? I've given you everything, so you can do whatever you want!"

Only then was Bai's mother satisfied, and carefully put away all the things on the coffee table, while Bai's father also gently helped.Baitang pursed her mouth and put the luggage and books back in her room.When I went out, I saw that the two elders were still discussing how to keep their things, and they didn't bother them, and went straight to the bathroom with a change of clothes to take a shower.When they washed off the dust and came out of the bathroom with steam, Father Bai and Mother Bai had just cleaned up.

"Tangtang, are you hungry? I'll cook for you!" Mother Bai looked at the sky, thinking that her daughter would have to fly early in the morning, and the plane food would definitely not be to her taste, and her daughter must be hungry already.

Baitang rubbed her stomach, she only drank a glass of milk for breakfast, and only ate a piece of bread at noon, she was really hungry.

"Mom, you don't have to do it. I have delicious food in my backpack. It's absolutely fresh and delicious. I brought it back for you to try." Bai Tang grabbed Mama Bai who was about to go to the kitchen, and then took out a plate of hamburger from the backpack. Delicious dishes with hot steam: Pipa prawns, chrysanthemum conch, braised silver carp head, stewed lion head, grilled whole pig head...these are Yangzhou dishes; red plum fish maw, Wuxi crispy eel, mushroom fillet...these are Jinling dishes; Taiji tofu, Jiuzhuan large intestine, Dezhou grilled chicken, coriander fried Sandan... These are Shandong dishes; Buddha Tiaoqiang, lychee meat, fried Chengfen... These are Fujian dishes; boiled fish, Kung Pao chicken, husband and wife lung slices, twice-cooked pork ... These are Sichuan dishes; roast suckling pig, colorful fried snake shreds, sweet and sour pork... These are Cantonese dishes... Baitang traveled all over the Dashun Dynasty in the Red Chamber World, and she bought a lot of delicacies from all over the place.

The dining table couldn't fit anymore, and neither could the coffee table. Papa Bai and Mama Bai's eyes widened.Seeing that her daughter wanted to take out something, Bai's mother hurriedly stopped her: "Don't take it, that's all, the three of us can't finish it! It's a waste!"

"No waste! Put it back into the backpack if you can't finish it. The backpack has a fresh-keeping function, and whatever you put in it can be taken out." Baitang continued to take out food, this time it was the special food of Qianxiang Kingdom.

Mama Bai couldn't help admiring: "Girl, does your backpack have such a function? From now on, we can put the food that our family can't finish eating in your backpack!"

Baitang protested: "Mom, my backpack is neither a refrigerator nor a cupboard!"

Father Bai said, "Put away the dishes on the coffee table, and just keep three or four."

"Dad, you don't want to pay for the food in other places?"

"Eat two or three dishes a day, and you can still taste all of these delicacies!" Father Bai swept around the plates that filled half the room, and felt his head was heavy, "You bring out so many dishes, even if you only eat each of them One bite will burst your stomach."

"Yes!" Baitang realized that he had taken out too much, and what the old man said was good, eating two or three dishes a day, he could always eat all the delicacies.With a wave of her hand, the food disappeared immediately, leaving only five plates of Yangzhou cuisine on the dining table.

"Call Xiaokang and Sister Meimei to have dinner together, and treat it as a reception for me!"

Wu Xuemei and Xing Xiaokang's mother and son are neighbors of the Bai family. The relationship between the two families is very good. Xing Xiaokang was taken care of by the two elders of the Bai family since he was born.After Wu Xuemei's ex-husband passed away, Bai's mother and Bai's father took care of the two orphans and widowed mother even more, and the two families are now like a family.

"Hey? Lao Bai, Xiaokang's make-up class is almost over, you hurry to pick him up from school!" Bai's mother heard her daughter mention Xing Xiaokang, and hurriedly asked his wife to pick up the child from school.Wu Xuemei has to go to work, so Father Bai helps pick up the children every day after school.

Father Bai hurried out with the bicycle keys, and half an hour later, he brought back a seven or eight-year-old young lady.Boys have beautiful facial features, smart and energetic, very attractive!
