Farmhouse Qiaofei

Chapter 59

In the west side room, after lunch, several children got up too early in the morning, and at this moment they all took a nap tiredly.

"My son's father, did our father tell us where we got the three acres of land?" Mrs. Wu picked up the newly bought hoe behind the door and asked in a low voice.

"It's right there at the foot of Mount Fu." Bai Chuanbai took off his complete clothes, changed into a tattered one with a few patches, wrapped it around his body, and picked up a hoe.

"It's so far away, why don't I leave a piece of paper for them so that the children won't worry." Shi Wu looked at the three little heads sleeping on the bed lovingly.

"I can't write, you can write." Bai Chuanbai said with a simple smile.

Wu took out the set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone that Bai Shao bought last time from the wooden box, left a sentence on the paper, and went to hug the ground with Bai Chuanbai carrying a hoe.

The so-called hugging the ground is to loosen the soil on the ground with only stubble left, so that the rice seedlings can be inserted easily, and it can also increase the chance of the rice seedlings surviving.

Now that the wheat has been harvested, many families are hugging the land to prepare for the next rice planting.

Bai Shao’s food stall can certainly make money, but the three acres of land can’t be thrown away. Even though they only collect three or five taels of silver for two seasons a year, it’s still money, and a simple farmer’s family won’t throw away the land. of.

Because they felt sorry for the children who got up early to sell tofu, Wu and Bai Chuanbai didn't ask them to go to the land, and there were only three acres of land left and right. After two or three days of hard work, the two of them finished it.

When Bai Shao woke up, the sun was already in the west.

She lifted the quilt on her body, and a Gulu got up from the bed, subconsciously looking for Mrs. Wu's figure, "Mother, mother..."

She yelled a few times but no one responded, and there was no one around her, she got out of bed in a little panic, ran out in a panic without even wearing her shoes.

All along, Mrs. Wu is by her side, no matter before falling asleep or after waking up, she can always see Mrs. Wu's kind and gentle smiling face.

But now, it's gone, the person who gave her strength and the courage to live in this foreign country is gone.

Even the brothers and sisters who fell asleep together were gone.

"Mother..." Because of panic, Bai Shao was knocked down by the threshold and fell to the ground.

She didn't think about it, she lay on the ground, smelling the smell of mud at the tip of her nose, and suddenly couldn't help but burst into tears.

Where did you go.

This is not a dream.

Could it be that when she woke up, Mrs. Wu disappeared?
If so, she would rather not wake up.

Bai Shao lay on the ground, she didn't know how long she cried, she only remembered that her body was suddenly hugged forcibly, and then, Bai Wei's terrified and delicate face appeared in front of her.

"Shao'er, what's wrong with you, Shao'er, did you have a nightmare? Why are you lying on the ground crying?" Bai Wei touched her forehead, then touched her lips, making sure she didn't have a fever, and then she felt relieved.

"Sister..." The appearance of Bai Wei gradually calmed down Bai Shao's panicked heart, she stared blankly at Bai Wei, and it took a long time to squeeze out a word from her throat.

"Hey, what's wrong with Shao'er?" Seeing her appearance, Bai Wei felt distressed and emotional.

The previous Shao'er was too smart and powerful, not like her sister, but more like her sister.

Now, such a fragile and confused little girl who can cry and shed tears gave Bai Wei some real feeling - this is her seven-year-old little sister, Bai Shao.

"No, it's okay..." Bai Shao gradually recovered her voice, "Sister, why did you and brother disappear, where did you go? Do you want me?"

"What are you talking about, we're not... the one in the main room, how can we sell you. Don't worry, your parents are on the ground, and your brother and I went out to cook for you. We will cry when we don't see you for a while, really..." As Bai Wei talked, she couldn't help laughing at Bai Shao.

Bai Shao didn't feel annoyed, but was very happy.

It's good that it's all real and not a dream.

After sleeping and waking up, Mrs. Wu is there, Bai Chuanbai is there, Bai Wei is there, and Bai Yunshi is there too, that's great.

"Get up quickly, my sister baked cornmeal pancakes for you, it's delicious to eat while it's hot." Said, Bai Wei put Bai Shao on the edge of the bed, put on her shoes, and stroked her hair , then turned around and left the west wing room.

Bai Shao jumped down from the edge of the bed, and rushed out of the west wing with big strides, only to see Bai Yun was really lighting the fire, and Bai Wei was baking cornmeal pancakes.

"Shao'er is awake." Bai Yunshi turned around and gave her a naive smile.

Bai Shao couldn't help laughing, maybe it was because of the crying just now, with her snort, a big snot bubble appeared on the tip of her nose, which made Bai Wei and Bai Yunshi laugh out loud.

Bai Shao turned her head quickly, found a handkerchief to wring out the snot, and then dared to leave the west side room.

"Our parents probably won't be able to come back until it's getting dark." Bai Wei took a plate, took out the cornmeal cakes from the pot, handed them to Bai Shao for her to eat, looked at the sky, and sighed, "Huh The land is too slow, such a large piece of land needs to be turned over with hoes, and if it is too big, it has to be smashed, and my mother will have several blood bubbles in her hands when she returns home."

"Does every family hug the land like this?" Bai Shao asked in a low voice while gnawing on corn cakes, "Our family has three acres of land and we have to hug it for several days. What will happen to the family's hundreds of acres of land in the future?" manage?"

In fact, what Bai Shao wants to say is that if we have hundreds of acres of land in the future, we can afford it.

But out of fear of scaring Bai Wei, Bai Shao still chooses to say "other people".

"Everyone who has a lot of land has a plow. We don't have the kind of plow pulled by oxen. It's too wasteful to use a plow for three acres of land. If there is more land in the future, maybe we can buy one and use it." Bai Wei said , couldn't help squinting and laughing.

"Sister, what are you laughing at?" Bai Shao asked curiously.

Bai Yunshi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Probably thinking that when she gets married in the future, how many acres of land will she be given as a dowry gift?"

Bai Shao acted as if suddenly realized, you know, the twins have a strong ability to sense each other, so what Bai Yun said may not be true.

"What nonsense?" Bai Wei blushed with shame, but she didn't choose to avoid it, but gave her younger brother and sister a fierce look, "I won't give you corn pancakes any more."

Bai Yunshi glanced at her innocently, then slowly lowered her head, acting like I didn't know anything.

Bai Shao also quickly lowered her head and gnawed on the cornbread, pretending that she hadn't said anything.

Bai Wei glanced at the two younger siblings with a smile, lowered her head, and filled the baked cornmeal cakes out of the ground pot.

At this time, a gust of wind happened to blow by, blowing the smell of corn pancakes outside the gate of Bai's house.

"Ah..." Suddenly, a male voice suddenly sounded near the gate, "It's so fragrant, what is this?"

Today, when corn has been widely planted, cornmeal is not a rare commodity, but because the locals have a variety of high-yielding rice and wheat, and no one grows corn, the price of cornmeal is still higher than that of white flour. Higher ones.

The so-called rarity is more expensive, probably this is the truth.

Especially in the Bai family who often eat rice, cornmeal pancakes are a relatively rare item.

Therefore, Bai Chuanlian, who just walked in with a hoe, saw the cornmeal pancakes in Bai Wei's hand, immediately put down the hoe happily, and rushed over, "Oh, oh, third sister is so caring. Uncle, I was tired from work just now, so I prepared cornmeal pancakes for my second uncle, thank you very much, third sister."

After finishing speaking, as soon as he reached out his hand, he wanted to snatch the cornmeal pancakes from Bai Wei's hand.

He was tall and big, and his movements were fast, before Bai Wei could react, his hand was about to touch the cornbread.

It was too late to say it, but Bai Yunshi, who had been squatting beside him cooking the pot, jumped up from the ground like a little leopard, and bumped into Bai Chuanlian with his back.

His blow was quite powerful, and the angle was even more tricky, and because of his surprise, Bai Chuanlian couldn't dodge.

It's a pity that Bai Chuanlian's stature is not as good as Bai Chuanlian's. After colliding with each other, the two fell to the ground at the same time.

Bai Yunshi seemed to have been hit a bit too hard, and after taking a few breaths, he jumped up from the ground without saying a word.

It was Bai Chuanlian who was lying on the ground, yelling "Ouch, ouch".

"Sanlang, what are you doing, Sanlang? I'm your second uncle. You don't even care about your second uncle, right?" On the ground, staring straight at the cornmeal pancake in Bai Wei's hand.

"Second uncle? Huh, I have never seen a second uncle who wants to steal food from my niece. You are so embarrassed, but you also snatch some food from our children's house. Do you want to show some face?" Bai Wei looked at her aggressively. Bai Chuanlian.

If it wasn't for Bai Yunshi's action just now, Bai Chuanlian would have snatched most of her plate of cornbread.

This is what she worked so hard to make, so she doesn't want to let those people in the main room eat it!

"What are you doing? I'm your second uncle. What's wrong with eating something from you?" Bai Chuan even stared at Bai Wei's words, and then lay down on the ground playing tricks, "I don't care, San Lang bumped into me just now. I'm not feeling well, and I won't get up until you give me a few tortillas."

Bai Shao was speechless watching from the sidelines, is this really something an adult in his 30s can do?

"Don't be unreasonable, how hard Saburo can hit you, you just want to eat corn pancakes." Bai Weiwei was angry, pointing at Bai Chuanlian and shouting, "I won't give you food, don't you love it?" stand up."

After finishing speaking, he was about to enter the west side house with the corn cakes in his hand.

When Bai Chuan looked at it, he became impatient, "Give me two cornbread, and I'll tell you what happened in the field."

"Everything in the field is your business, it has nothing to do with us." Bai Wei was unmoved, and still strode towards the west side house.

Bai Chuan gritted his teeth and said loudly, "What if it has something to do with your parents?"

Bai Wei's steps stopped abruptly, and he turned his head and said sharply, "What? What's wrong with my parents?"
