Farmhouse Qiaofei

Chapter 14 The First Provocative Fire

The next morning, Bai Shao was woken up by Bai Wei.

She opened her eyes with some difficulty, and saw that Bai Wei was wearing a slightly heavy dress, covering her whole body tightly, and she couldn't help being taken aback.

Today, the weather is getting warmer. Even though a thin quilt is required at night, one only needs to wear a thin layer of long clothes during the day. If one is dressed like Bai Wei is now, when the sun comes out, one will sweat all over. .

"Sister, you are going to..." Bai Shao got up from the bed and looked at Bai Wei suspiciously.

"Get up, grandma wants us to cut some lala seedlings to feed the pigs." Bai Wei said with a blank expression, holding a rattan basket in one hand and a sickle in the other.

"Oh." Bai Shao put on her clothes ignorantly, and covered herself tightly like Bai Wei.

Pushing open the door of the west side room, there was a crackling sound, and turning around, it turned out that Mrs. Wu was making breakfast.

"You guys, why are you going?" Mrs. Wu called to stop them, "It's time for dinner, go back to the house and wait."

"Grandma asked Shao'er and I to cut some lala seedlings and feed them to the pigs." Bai Wei said loudly.

When Wu Shi heard that it was Liu Shi's order, she suddenly became dumb.

Seeing this, Bai Wei pulled Bai Shao out.

"Hey, Wei'er, if you can't do it, you can go by yourself, Shao'er, she just came back yesterday..." While looking back at the main room, Wu hurriedly walked over, stopped Bai Shao's pace, her eyes were still red and swollen She swept across her face and said with some distress, "Shao'er, you just came back yesterday with injuries all over your body. How can you go to work? Stay at home and let your sister take your share. Cut it back too."

Everyone can see Wu's love for Bai Shao, so Bai Wei let go of Bai Shao's hand indifferently, and is about to leave alone with a sickle and rattan basket.

"Wait." Bai Shao opened her mouth to stop Bai Wei, then turned her head, looked at Wu Shi with a cowardly expression, and said, "Mother, I'd better go with my sister, otherwise if my grandma finds out, Shao'er will definitely be scolded." Yes. Mom, don't worry, Shaoer doesn't hurt..."

After finishing speaking, Bai Shao ran to Bai Wei's side quickly with short legs, and held Bai Wei's hand firmly.

Bai Wei was a little taken aback, and Wu Shi was also taken aback.

"Shao'er..." Wu's expression slowly changed, "It's my mother who is useless...it's me who is useless..."

Before the words were finished, the curtain of the main room was lifted, and Mrs. Liu came out from inside with her head held high. Seeing the crackling oil in the cauldron, she suddenly dissatisfied and said loudly, "The third daughter-in-law, the third daughter-in-law, the oil It’s hot, I asked you to cook, where have you been, do you want to starve me to death. Do you hold grudges against me, do you want to starve me to death.”

As soon as she opened her mouth, no matter how much Wu Shi felt sorry for Bai Shao, she had no choice but to quickly go back to the ground pot, put the chopped vegetables in, stir fry with a spatula, and at the same time take care of the fire at the bottom of the pot.

Seeing this, Bai Wei felt sorry for Mrs. Wu, and went to help her light the fire, only to raise her leg, and heard Mrs. Liu shouting loudly, "Third sister, fifth sister, why don't you hurry up and cut some?" When Lalayang came back, the pigs were starving to death. Let me tell you, if the pigs can’t eat later, you don’t have to eat.”

Bai Wei's footsteps stopped in place, and after a while, she took Bai Shao, greeted Liu Shi silently, and left the Bai family's house.

Lalayang is a weed with strong vitality that grows near Anyang County. Generally, there are more wild grasses in the mountains and fields, but the distance is too far. If you run to cut it, you may not be able to return for a long time.

So Bai Wei directly brought Bai Shao to the back of the Bai family's house, where a piece of dark green lala seedlings grew, although not too many, but enough for a pig to eat.

"Just here, cut it quickly, and be careful not to hurt your hands." Bai Wei told Bai Shao, then bent down, waved the sickle, and cut the lala seedlings skillfully.

Paeoniae Alba followed suit and followed suit.

About five or six minutes later, Bai Shao suddenly said slowly, "Sister, I'm a little tired, are you tired?"

"Take a rest when you are tired." Bai Wei is not surprised that Bai Shao said this, because in her impression, Bai Shao is a little girl who can avoid work, always thinking of ways not to work.

"Sister." Bai Shao didn't rest, but slowed down, moved closer to Bai Wei, and asked in a low voice, "Sister, why didn't Sister Kouer come? There is also Sister Zhier from the second uncle's family, Yingzi Sister, why don't you come?"

Bai Wei's mowing action slowed down for a moment, "Bai Koujiao is good at coaxing people, our grandma loves her, so we didn't let her do any work. As for Yingzi and Baizhi, they went to feed the chickens and ducks."

"Oh..." Bai Shao suddenly realized the nod, and at the same time elongated her voice, "I love sister Kouer the most, so I don't let sister Kouer work, and I don't love sister and Shaoer the most, so I let sister and Shao Let me cut this sharp lala seedling."

The reason why Lalayang is called Lalayang is because the body of this weed has densely packed small thorns. If the human body accidentally brushes over it, it is very likely to cut a wound.

Even if you deliberately guard against Lalayang, you will be hurt to some extent.

For example, now, there are three or five slender wounds on Bai Wei's hands, which don't bleed, but are painful.

Compared with feeding chickens and ducks and cooking, the work of mowing grass is obviously hated by the Bai family.

But now, the most annoying job is being done by sisters Bai Wei and Bai Shao.

This shows what.

This shows that in Liu's heart, Bai Shao and Bai Wei have the lowest status and are the least worth mentioning.

In fact, Bai Wei knew a long time ago that Mrs. Liu doesn't care about people in the third room.But you know, you know, no one has ever said it so bluntly.

Now, Bai Shao's words, like a blunt hammer, hit Bai Wei's heart heavily, causing her to sigh and stop what she was doing.

After a long time, she said in a low voice, "It's not just the two of us being targeted, both father and mother are not liked by grandma, and I can't help it..."

"That's because grandma doesn't like father and mother, so our whole family has to work more than others?" Bai Shao pouted, "It's also a son and daughter-in-law, and it's also grandchildren. Don't you think it's a bit too much for grandma to treat you differently? Is it?"

"Too much?" Bai Wei murmured twice, "Actually, it's not too much, just do more work, my mother said, our family is healthy and energetic, we should do more work..."

These words are really like what the virtuous Wu Shi said.

"But sister, my mother works a lot, she still doesn't please my grandma, and my grandma still looks down on my mother the most." Bai Shao said helplessly, "Isn't this thankless work?"

"It's a thankless effort?" Bai Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was seriously thinking about Bai Shao's words.

This made Bai Shao couldn't help being a little excited.

Did she really pry Bai Wei's heart and let Bai Wei start to develop his nature?
Did the first fire she ignited in Bai's house really burn?

After a while, Bai Wei seemed to have thought of something, turned her head to look at Bai Shao, and said seriously, "Mother said, there is a reason why grandma looks down on mother... Mother is wrong, mother has no choice..."

Bai Shao froze in place, the excitement in her eyes was too late to take back, it turned into helplessness, and she smiled wryly.

Well, it's because she thinks of people's thinking too simply.

Bai Wei has been taught by Wu Shi and Bai Chuanbai with foolish filial piety for more than ten years, how could she be expected to wake up with a single word of her own.

It seems that Bai Wei still has to see some things with his own eyes, and then experience some things in person, so that he can gradually awaken.

"Go to work." Seeing that Bai Shao didn't speak for a long time, and looked very depressed, Bai Wei ignored her, bent down, waved the scythe, and continued to cut the lala seedlings.

The two sisters worked together, and it took nearly half an hour to cut all the lala seedlings nearby.

Seeing that the two baskets were almost full, Bai Wei took Bai Shao back to Bai's house.

As soon as she entered the door, Bai Zhi was standing timidly at the door, carrying the bran that had been mixed, looking forward to it.

"You guys are here at last." Seeing them, Bai Zhi said in a soft voice, "Third Aunt has finished the meal, the grandma said, the meal will be served after feeding the pigs."

"Here we come." Bai Wei nodded, and strode to a broken table in the yard with a rattan basket on her shoulders. With the discarded kitchen knife, cut these long lala seedlings into small pieces.

Bai Zhi went over with the wooden barrel, and pulled all the larla seedlings that had been cut into small pieces into the barrel, and finally stirred them with a wooden stick, and then they were ready to be eaten by the pigs.

Sisters Bai Shao and Bai Wei were mowing the grass, and sisters Bai Zhi and Bai Ying were obviously feeding the pigs, so Bai Wei took Bai Shao, washed her hands and entered the house.

In the main room, by the dining table in the middle, all the Bai family members except for a few little girls who went to work were surrounded.

Mr. Bai and Mrs. Liu, the family of the eldest of the Bai family, the family of the fourth child of the Bai family, the couple of the third child of the Bai family, and the second child of the Bai family, Bai Chuanlian and his wife, whom Bai Shao had never seen before.

"Ahem, Fifth Sister is here." Seeing the two sisters approaching, Old Man Bai cleared his throat first, and said, "You're tired from cutting the seedlings. Come and sit down. We'll have dinner now."

The third and fifth granddaughters of the Bai family came in at the same time, but the old man ignored Bai Wei and only greeted Bai Shao!

This is obviously abnormal, making Bai Shao's gaze a little condensed, knowing that the situation in front of him is probably for him to see.

Sure enough, after she walked over and sat down next to Mrs. Wu, the old man Bai slowly said, "Fifth Sister, a few days ago, you were sold to... the place where you were pickled, it's already happened." Found the culprit."
