Farmhouse Qiaofei

Chapter 163 Gu's Eccentricity

Bai Yunshi raised his hand, and very accurately threw a palm-sized rock towards the shadow.

"Ouch..." The black figure seemed to be in pain, clutching his forehead and making a cry of pain, but he still didn't take the initiative to stand up.

Seeing this, Bai Yunshi threw another stone at him.

The black shadow finally couldn't take it anymore, and walked out from the corner shaking his body, "Don't hit it, don't hit it, it's me."

"Mother." Upon hearing the voice, Wu quickly stood up from behind Bai Chuanbai, and walked to the side of the black shadow in a hurry.

At this time, Bai Wei held up a lantern beside her and looked forward. The person being supported by Mrs. Wu at this moment was not Mrs. Gu who was supposed to be recuperating on the bed.

"Mother, why are you standing there and not coming out?" Asked Wu in surprise.

"No...it's okay, I'm just going to the latrine." Gu shi covered her red forehead from being smashed, glanced at Bai Yunshi, lowered her head and said shyly.

Go to the latrine?
The location where Gu Shi was hiding just now is basically a distance of one south and one north from the latrine in the outer courtyard. Given the geographical location of Gu's room, she would never pass there when going to the latrine.

All of a sudden, the five members of Bai Shao's family realized that Gu had lied.

However, in order to protect the face of this elder, they did not expose her, but kept silent.

"Well, mother, it's almost October now, and the weather is starting to get cold. There's a slight temperature difference between morning and evening. I'll help you into the house to rest." Wu Shi smiled, and didn't ask why Gu Shi was standing there, but supported Gu Shi. She went back to the room.

Bai Yunshi scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, "Hey, grandma, I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you."

"It's okay, it's okay." Gu touched his head, smiled at Bai Yunshi, looked at Bai Wei again, and said softly, "Grandma didn't blame you, it's okay... Hey, it's getting dark, hurry up Go to sleep, children need more sleep to grow taller."

"Oh, I see, grandma." Bai Yunshi nodded.

Bai Wei didn't speak, she didn't like this grandma very much, because of Wu's face, she just nodded without even smiling.

However, Gu patted Bai Wei's head indifferently, and then Bai Yunshi's, before turning around and going back to the room.

Mrs. Wu took Gu's arm, and said calmly, "Mother, there is Shao'er."

"Ah... Shao'er?" Gu Shi suddenly realized something, and his eyes fell on Bai Shao's body, but there was no kind of love from the bottom of his heart, but strange eyes, as if he was looking at someone who had nothing to do with him, "Xiao The girl is quite handsome, but she has a strong desire to control, why let her keep all the money in the family, and she is not afraid of losing it, so it is better for the adults to keep it."

After saying this sentence, she turned her head and leaned weakly on Wu's body, not looking at Bai Shao anymore.

Wu Shi was very embarrassed, but she didn't dare to pull Gu Shi to make her treat the three children equally. In order to prevent her from doing anything, Wu quickly supported Gu Shi and sent her back to the house.

"Grandma doesn't seem to like Shao'er. Our family's money has always been held by Shao'er, and it's not just given to her now." Bai Yunshi glanced at Gu's with some doubts.

"I didn't like Shao'er from the very beginning. I didn't like her because of this. They are both parents' children. Why don't you love us Shao'er. Besides, it is our family's decision to give Shao'er the money. What's the matter with her?" Bai Wei said angrily from the side.

Bai Chuanbai, who had been silent all this time, trembled in his heart when he heard this, he didn't dare to let them say anything, he bent down and hugged Bai Shao, forced a smile and said, "Shao'er, your grandma may be because your grandpa and Uncle’s business doesn’t treat you very well, it’s okay, we don’t care about it... You tell dad, what is that lotus root powder for, we want to make all of it, there is a lot of it.”

Bai Shao knew that Bai Chuanbai was changing the subject, but he didn't expose him. He just smiled very innocently and said, "Father, this lotus root powder can be made into a paste. I think Mr. Zhao may need that kind of transparent paste. If you think about it, if there is that kind of transparent soup, it will be more popular."

"Ah, that's it." Seeing Bai Shao's appearance, Bai Chuanbai put his heart back into his stomach, and began to seriously discuss the matter of lotus root powder with Bai Shao, "So our lotus root powder should be similar to the formula of Liangpi. Is it a secret?"

"Of course it must be kept secret, that is, it is best that only one or two people know about the production process, and others should not know about it." Bai Shao said seriously.

"Okay, leave this to me." Bai Chuanbai has gradually trained these days, and he is quite comfortable handling such a small matter, "It's getting dark, it's getting cold, dad will send you back to sleep, Shao'er, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, do you want to eat mooncakes? I heard that there is a Xinghualou in Xieyang County that sells mooncakes, how about I buy some for you?"

"Okay." Bai Shao agreed, she also wanted to taste what the mooncakes of this era are like, if they are not particularly delicious, she can make another fortune.

Just like that, the two of them sent Bai Shao back to the room while muttering and chatting.

Bai Wei and Bai Yunshi followed behind, walking a bit slowly.

At this time, Mrs. Wu also came out of Mrs. Gu's room. Unlike the joy on her face when she left yesterday, Mrs. Wu's eyes are now somewhat dissatisfied and worried.

She walked quickly behind her family, listening to Bai Chuanbai and Bai Shao talking one by one, discussing what kind of mooncakes are delicious, she pursed her lips and felt a little relieved, but in the end there was still nothing she could do fell to the ground.

After both sisters Bai Shao and Bai Wei got into bed and lay on the bed, Bai Chuanbai and Wu Shi smiled and looked at the two daughters before coming out of the room.

After closing the door, the smiles on both of their faces disappeared.

"Tell me, did Shaoer understand?" Mrs. Wu asked in a low voice as she walked to her room.

"I explained to Shao'er just now that she doesn't seem to care much. After all... After all, the child's grandma is not always around, so maybe the child doesn't care at all." Bai Chuanbai hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice.

"But I always feel that something is wrong. A normal child should ask a few questions, but our Shaoer seems to know everything, and doesn't ask anything... She is so smart, this food is the sky, this brocade, all of them Her idea, saying that she doesn't understand, I always think it's impossible." Wu said in a low voice.

"...How about? Let me ask Shao'er again?" Bai Chuanbai was silent for a moment, then said with some concern.

"It's better not to ask, let's do it like this... When she grows up, she should tell her some things that should be said, now... let's do this first." Wu Shi said, reluctantly forgetting to take a look at Bai Shao In the direction of Bai Weiwu, "Say, will Shao'er be picked up in the future? I've been with me for so many years, from a baby who hasn't opened up yet, to now being able to speak well, being smart and cute, I really can't bear it..."

After finishing speaking, she lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

"Even if you can't bear it, you can't be trapped by our side... However, maybe no one will come to look for it at all. It's been seven years. If you want to look for it, you should have come long ago..." Bai Chuanbai stretched out his arm, Gently hugging Wu Shi, while comforting her, he went back to his room.

In a corner they couldn't see, a masked man stood in the corner with his hands behind his back, glanced at Wu and Bai Chuanbai, then at the direction of Baishao's house, turned his head and jumped off The roof left here silently.

Early the next morning, Bai Chuanbai started to pack the lotus root. First, he bought a big grinder and put it in a large room behind the embroidery room, and then began to choose the person who would help grind the lotus root.

Of course, it is impossible for people to push the stone mill. The job of grinding lotus root is mainly done by the little donkey, and people only need to supervise the little donkey.

Although there are many more buddies in the family, it seems that there are really not many people who can be trusted.

Bai Chuanbai picked and picked, and finally picked Zhao Long.

Zhao Long agreed without hesitation, and after cleaning the stone mill that day, he bought a donkey and came to work.

A donkey can work for four hours a day when it is full of food, drink and rest, and can grind [-] catties of lotus root. After the lotus root slurry has settled and the water on it has been removed, the amount of lotus root powder is definitely quite a lot. .

Fortunately, the last few days have been sunny. With the help of the family buddy, I finally dried the lotus root pulp, and I can collect the powder after it is dried.

Sisters Bai Shao and Bai Wei didn't care about these things, they were all concerned about Gu Shi now.

After discovering Gu's sneaky figure that night, Bai Shao told Bai Wei about her guess, which made Bai Wei very nervous, for fear that Gu would do something bad to the family.

Losing money is not important, what is important is that it will make Wu sad.

So the two sisters have paid special attention to Gu Shi these two days.

And Gu's finally "lived up to everyone's expectations" and took action.
