Farmhouse Qiaofei

Chapter 77

"Okay, then let's go back." Bai Shao didn't want Zhao Hu and Pu Zhao to wait too long, so she asked Wu to make the remaining Liangpi and tofu, and asked Bai Chuanbai and the car to send it to Hou's house. Blacksmith.

Then the family took Zhao Hu and Pao Zhao back to Bai's house in Shilipu.

In the Bai family today, Mrs. Sun is cooking, and Mrs. Liu is still standing at the door of the main room directing.

Bai Shao and Bai Wei stepped forward, silently bowed to Mrs. Liu, and then went back to Xibianwu.

"Wait, who is this?" Mrs. Liu didn't want to pay attention to Mr. Bai's family at first. After all, it was because of them that she had a dispute with Mr. Bai.

But when she saw the strange faces of Pu Zhao and Zhao Hu, she couldn't help asking.

Bai Chuanbai wanted to tell Liu the truth, but was stopped by Bai Shao.

"Grandma, they are my father's two friends." Bai Shao said sweetly, "Come to my house for some tea."

"Hey, it's just your father? Still drinking tea..." Mrs. Liu smiled unceremoniously, "Your father doesn't have any friends."

Bai Chuanbai on the side lowered his head sadly.

Bai Wei, who still had a crush on Bai Chuanbai before, couldn't stand it any longer, stood up and said angrily, "What are you talking about, my dad is not your son, why would you laugh at your own son like that?"

"Why, why do I want you, a brat, to teach me to my son." As soon as the smile on Liu's face faded, she began to reprimand Bai Wei, "It's just a girl who dares to teach me? You know I'm Are you a baby? I usually let you learn some rules, but you have already learned how to behave like a dog?"

"Still learning the rules, you are the most unruly one..." Bai Wei gritted her teeth, humming, and was about to say this sentence.

Bai Shao pulled her back in time.

If this is broken with Mrs. Liu, they won't have to do anything for a whole day.

The most urgent task now is to teach Zhao Zhao how to make Liangpi. Don't bother with other things at all.

"Grandma, my dad also learned from grandma. Grandma is kind-hearted, smart and generous, and has the most friends. My dad didn't know it before, but after learning from grandma, he really made friends, right?" Bai Shao smiled. He said a few words to Mrs. Liu.

Mrs. Liu didn't understand what was hidden in Bai Shao's words, but she nodded happily, seeing that Bai Shao's appearance was much kinder.

Bai Shao took the opportunity to take the whole family, Zhao Hu and Pao Zhao, back to Xibian House.

Mrs. Liu stood at the door of the main room happily, and it took a long time to realize that she didn't have any friends!
At this time, Bai Shao had already taught Zhao Zhao all the tricks of making Liangpi, even how to cook aniseed soup, how to fry chili oil to make it more fragrant, all of them were shown without any secrets.

As for the spices of the iron plate tofu, it is even simpler. Write down on the paper what needs to be put in and how long it needs to be fried. Zhao Hu then left Bai's house with Biao Zhao.

Before getting on the mule cart, Zhao Hu took out a large silver ingot from his pocket and handed it to Bai Shao, "Do you want to try to see if it's real?"

"I trust shopkeeper Wang, and even more that Uncle Hu won't lie to me." Bai Shao raised her head, smiling so hard that she couldn't see her eyes but her teeth.

With such an innocent yet trusting smile, he finally looked like a child.

Zhao Hu couldn't help but smiled, patted Bai Shao's head, and got into the mule cart with Pu Zhao, and went back to Xieyang County.

"Shao'er, they will send over 100 taels of silver tomorrow." Bai Wei looked worriedly at the gradually shrinking mule cart.

"Don't worry." Bai Shao is very confident, not because he can trust Zhao Huyou or shopkeeper Wang, but because the other party is a top-ranked restaurant in Xieyang County, so there is really no need to play tricks on him.

If you want to take by force, why take 50 taels of silver?
"That's good." Bai Wei finally put his heart back into his stomach, "Let's go Shao'er, let's go home."

"En." Bai Shao nodded vigorously, looked at the big silver ingot she was holding in her hand, and finally there was a long-suppressed joy in her eyes.

This is her money, the money that was really earned by her.

When they get the 150 taels tomorrow, they can move out of the Bai family and have a shop of their own, without having to push that heavy flat cart every day.

The most important thing is that he is finally leaving the wonderful Liu family.

You don't need to be in charge of things, you don't have to worry about anything in your home being coveted, and you don't need other Bai family members to come up with bad ideas to entrap them.

Such a day, as long as I think about it, I am very happy.

It can be said that, except for Bai Chuanbai who is a little heavy in Bai Laosan's family, Wu and the three children are happy from the bottom of their hearts.

In this way, the family talked and laughed, and returned to Bai's house from Shilipu village.

At this time, lunch had already been eaten in the main room, and Mrs. Liu had already gone back to the east room to rest. In the whole yard, except for Bai Chuanlian whose eyes rolled around, there was only Bai Chuanqiong with a dignified face left.

After seeing Bai Laosan's family come in, before Bai Chuanqiong could speak, Bai Chuanlian yelled loudly there, "Sir, you eat alone, you make money alone, you don't bring your brothers, you are really alone !"

Du, in Shilipu dialect, means selfish.

Bai Shao subconsciously merged her two hands, covering the silver in her palm tightly.

"Third brother, you are too lonely. We are all brothers, and those are relatives of our first-milk compatriots. You won't tell your brothers when you make money? You won't let your brothers earn a little too? The love we grew up with naked buttocks Points, just gone?" Bai Chuanlian pointed at Bai Chuanbai angrily.

Bai Chuanbai was so frightened that he stood there dumbfounded, and it took him a long time to realize, "Second brother, what did you say...what did you say?"

Because Bai Chuanbai knew that his family had indeed secretly made 150 taels of silver, so he felt a little guilty when he spoke.

Bai Chuanlian is Bai Chuanbai's second brother, so it can be said that he knows him quite well. Seeing him like this now, he is more sure of his guess, "Sir, are you a brother? If you are a brother, you will take him with you." Make money together with your brothers."

"Then what if it's not a brother?" Seeing Bai Chuanbai's bitter face and not knowing how to answer, Bai Wei at the side interjected.

"No, not brothers..." Bai Chuan couldn't connect, so he could only stare at Bai Wei, "Why do children interrupt when adults talk."

Bai Wei flattened his mouth, with a look of disdain.

Obviously, he didn't know where he heard the gossip, and he believed that Bai Laosan's family had made money, so he rushed over to share the money. How could he be so grandiose by this person?
"Second brother, I..." Bai Chuanbai was very troubled in his heart at this moment, "It's not that... we separated..."

Although he is a little cowardly and too foolish, he is not a fool.

Obviously before, my brothers had separated from my family in order not to share the debt of 200 taels of silver.

Now they are here to ask to make money together, what is this talking about?
If it was really the money earned from business, Bai Chuanbai might still consider it.

But now it's the seller's money, how to divide it?
Fang Zi was conceived by Bai Shao and sold by Bai Shao. The whole family of Qian defaulted to Bai Shao.

Now, let him and Bai Shao come over and distribute the money to these brothers, he really can't do it!

"Third brother." Bai Chuanlian immediately exploded when he heard this, "I'm your own brother, and you treat me like this? You are rich and prosperous, and you don't want to drag your brother? We two When you were young, you almost fell into the cesspit several times. If it hadn’t been for my elder brother to grab you, would you still be alive? It’s just a little money, and you don’t want to give it to me, third child, your heart It’s cruel, it’s broken, and it’s more independent.”

He stared at Bai Chuanbai disappointedly, and at the same time shook his head heavily, as if Bai Chuanbai had done something important to his family.

"Third brother, you are a bit over the top, after all, we are all one family." Bai Chuanqiong also raised his head, and took a deep look at Bai Chuanbai.

The eyes of the two people, the eyes of the four, pierced into Bai Chuanbai's heart like needles, making him feel an indescribable sense of oppression.

It's obviously not like this, it's obvious that the two of them are confusing right and wrong, it's obvious...

But he was so dumb that he couldn't speak, so he could only stand there holding back his breath.

Bai Chuanlian was still thinking about himself, "You're not doing this properly, third child, you still don't want these brothers..."

"That's enough." Bai Shao, who had been frowning and listening, finally couldn't help interrupting Bai Chuanlian, "Father, it's up to now, there are some things that should not be hidden from everyone, just tell them."

"Ah..." Bai Chuanbai looked at Bai Shao with a confused face.

"Father, how long are you going to keep this matter a secret?" Bai Shao said righteously, "I know that you want to hide it from everyone. It's a good intention. But what did the second uncle and the fourth uncle think? , since that's the case, why not tell everyone everything, so as to save everyone from guessing."

"Ah?" Bai Chuanbai became even more dizzy, what was he talking about, he opened his mouth to ask, but Bai Shao spoke again, and Bai Chuanbai had to shut his mouth again.

"Father, tell everyone, what happened in Izumo Town this morning..." Bai Shao said, her eyes turned red, "Second Uncle, Fourth Uncle, we really didn't intentionally burn that person, who knows The iron frame would leak fire and burn that person's arm, which is not what we are happy about. The person even asked us for 80 taels of silver in compensation. How can we have this money? We can only give the iron frame to Sold it. But it’s still not enough, now, we’re going to borrow some from Grandpa and Grandma.”

Seeing the expressions of Bai Chuanlian and Bai Chuanqiong slowly change, Bai Shao took a breath and continued to cry, "I thought life would be difficult for my second uncle and fourth uncle, but my father didn't want to find second uncle and fourth uncle Borrowing money. But I didn’t expect that the second uncle and the fourth uncle were so kind-hearted, thinking that my father is your brother, and offered to help us... Shao’er is really grateful to you, thank you second uncle, thank you fourth uncle, My father doesn't plan to borrow much, but mainly from our own family. From the second uncle and the fourth uncle, let us lend us ten taels of silver each. My father said that we will definitely repay the fourth uncle and the second uncle within two years. Uncle, thank you so much."

As Bai Shao said, she leaned directly and bowed to Bai Chuanlian and Bai Chuanqiong.

The complexions of Bai Chuanlian and Bai Chuanqiong suddenly changed, and they both took several steps back, avoiding Bai Shao's bow.

"No, no, what the fifth sister is talking about." Bai Chuanlian stepped back and said with an embarrassed smile, "Actually, the second uncle doesn't have any money, and the money is in your grandma's hands. But, you Grandma loves your fourth uncle the most, and your fourth uncle may have money. I, I have no money, so I will leave first. "

After finishing speaking, Bai Chuanlian slapped his ass and went straight back to the house.

Liu Bai Chuanqiong stood where he was, and smiled falsely at Bai Chuanbai, "Well, third brother, younger brother is also in trouble, all the money in the family is in mother's hands, and I don't have any cents. That, that... I Also went back."

As he said that, he also wanted to rub the soles of his feet with oil and go back to the east side house.

"Wait." Bai Shao called him coldly.

Even though Bai Chuanlian likes to drink, gamble, and talk a lot, but he doesn't have enough brains, usually he would never take the initiative to trouble Bai Chuanbai's family.

Every time Bai Chuanlian came to trouble Bai Lao San's family, it must be provoked by someone to use him as a weapon.

As for who was used as a gun, Bai Shao can see clearly and clearly.

It must be Bai Lao Si.

This Bai Chuanqiong is really bad.

Stealing the recipe of iron plate tofu spices, forcing Liu Shi to grab the recipe of Liangpi, and later bringing Mr. Liu over to cause harm to Bai Wei, and now forcing Bai Chuanlian to divide her family's money.

Do you really think her white peony root is made of mud?

"Fourth Uncle, don't you want to borrow this money?" Bai Shao took two steps forward, staring at Bai Chuanqiong coldly, his eyes were like torches, as if they could penetrate his soul.

Bai Chuanqiong took two steps back subconsciously, and hesitated, "Fifth Sister, it's not that I don't want to lend you money, it's that Fourth Uncle really has no money, and it's all with your grandma."

"Really?" Bai Shao glanced at the gate of Bai's house from the corner of her eye, "Second Uncle said, Grandma loves you the most, and she will definitely give you money at ordinary times, even if she doesn't give much, it won't be a big deal if she does too many times. The quantity is up. Fourth Uncle, you don’t have any daily expenses, and all you eat and drink are paid for by your business, so the money should be useless, how could you have no money.”

"You are talking nonsense." Bai Chuanqiong jumped up as if he had been stung, "Since when did your grandma love me the most? Your uncle loves you the most. How much money do you give him to do business? He always pays for it. , I came back to cry with your grandma after losing money, it’s so useless, and your grandma always gave him money to do business with his uncle, isn’t it just a debt to him. If we didn’t lose so much money, our family’s life How rewarding it is to live, save a few hundred taels of silver, and you can turn over and build a house, at least everyone is so aggrieved."

It can be seen that Bai Chuanqiong really has a lot of complaints about Bai Chuanqiang, and he dared not say it on weekdays, but now he was provoked by Bai Shao slightly, and he suddenly said it all out.

"Oh, it turns out that fourth uncle annoys uncle the most." Bai Shao nodded thoughtfully.

"Is it annoying or not?" Bai Chuanqiong realized after finishing speaking. It would be great if Bai Chuanqiang heard this, but fortunately Bai Chuanqiang is not at home today, and he should be going to do business again, so he is just afraid Patting his chest, he turned and went back to the room.

But before that, he still warned Bai Shao, "Don't talk nonsense and provoke the relationship between us brothers. Although our previous relationship cannot be provoked by you..."

"Bai Chuanqiong." Just before he finished speaking, Bai Chuanqiang, who stood at the door and listened for a while, finally couldn't help but say, "So you hate my business so much. If so, then I I won’t do it, let you do it.”

"Big...Brother." Bai Chuanqiong was taken aback, "You, why are you back?"

"If I don't come back, how can I hear what you say." Bai Chuanqiang stared at Bai Chuanqiong with a sneer, and strode into the main room, "I want to tell my mother that I don't want to do this business in the future. I will leave the medicinal materials to you."

"Ah..." Bai Chuanqiong was taken aback, and hurriedly followed, trying to stop Bai Chuanqiang.

When Bai Chuanqiang lost money in business, he could get extra compensation from the Liu family.If he doesn't lose money, he can share the profits.

But if the business is given to him, it is his responsibility to lose money, and to distribute to others if he makes money.

No, he doesn't want to do this kind of thing!

In the yard, the five members of Bai Lao San's family looked at the shaking curtain, stood silently for a while, then turned and went back to the west side room.

"Shao'er, are you going to let fourth uncle go like this?" Bai Wei, who had known Bai Shao's character relatively well during this period of time, couldn't help asking.

Bai Shao gave her a smile.

How is it possible, it's just that Bai Chuanqiong has not been caught now, if he is caught in the future...

Back in the west side room, Bai Shao took out the money box, carefully took out the key to open it, put the ingot of silver in it, and locked it again.

After finishing all this, she turned her head and looked at Bai Chuanbai seriously, "Father, we will really move when we get the remaining 100 taels of silver tomorrow."

"Shao'er...Actually, in fact, 150 taels of silver can build a good yard, otherwise, let's not move out of Yun Town, let's build a bed in Shili." Bai Chuanbai said hesitantly.

In fact, he just didn't want to leave this place where he grew up, or maybe he didn't want to leave Mr. Bai and Mrs. Liu...

"Father, it's not impossible to do this, but then we will have to leave the food stall at Second Uncle Hou's house all the time. Although Second Uncle Hou was very straightforward and didn't say he wouldn't let us go, but it's okay to keep troublesome others all the time? " Bai Shao knew that Bai Chuanbai was the kind of person who didn't like to bother others, so she deliberately picked this matter and asked.

Bai Chuanbai fell silent immediately.

After a long time, he said with some difficulty, "However, I still think that renting a house is not an option. After all, it's not our house, and it's not comfortable to live in."

"Don't worry, father, when we make money in the future, we still have to go back to the ten-mile bedding house." Bai Shao knew that Bai Chuanbai was the kind of native-born farmer who couldn't do without the land where he grew up, so he promised, "We're just going to start now. Leaving here for a while, and then renting a shop to sell food will save me troubles with Second Uncle Hou’s house, what do you think, Father?"

"Okay, okay..." At this point, Bai Shao can be said to be well prepared in all aspects, and Bai Chuanbai finally has no reason to refuse.

"Then when we sell Liangpi tomorrow, we will rent a house immediately when we get the money." Bai Shao is very decisive, she knows that if the money really stays in Bai's house for a long time, it will definitely not be able to keep it.

Now Bai Chuanlian and Bai Chuanqiong were scared back by her, and the boss Bai's family came to delay for a while, otherwise they might not be safe tonight.

Who knows, in the face of money, what bottomless things some people can do?

"Okay..." The whole family acquiesced to this matter, and began to prepare busyly.

If they rent a house tomorrow, they will move there in a day or two at most. The things in the house always need to be tidied up, and the things that need to be used can’t be moved temporarily, but the things that can’t be used can be packed first, and they can be taken away when they leave , it is much more convenient.

This night was spent amidst the busyness of Bai Laosan's family and the noise of the main room.

Early the next morning, Bai Laosan's family took the prepared Liangpi to Izumo Town to set up a stall.

Liangpi is selling as well as ever, and the selling of sizzling tofu is not as good as before, but it is also the best among these stalls.

When it was about noon, Zhao Hu happily brought 100 taels of silver to Bai Shao's stall.

"Pu Zhao learned the Liangpi yesterday, and he made a lot of it when he went back tonight. When the food was served this morning, many masters said it was delicious. Our shopkeeper asked me to bring the money, and please trouble Miss Bai Er to bring the other Tell me a way to extract starch." Zhao Hu said with a smile.

Bai Shao took the money, and told Zhao Hu the extraction method of mung bean starch and Shanrong (pea) starch very readily.

Zhao Hu cupped his hands towards her, wrote down the prescription, and left quickly.

Bai Shao's family continued to sell Liangpi and iron plate tofu, and when there were about three or four servings of each item left, the family quickly closed the stall, took the packaged food, and went to the blacksmith shop of Hou's family.

Unlike before, Bai Laosan's family divided into two groups, Bai Chuanbai went to deliver the stalls, and Wu took the children to buy vegetables. Today they all went to the Hou's iron shop.

Because Bai Chuanbai said that Hou Changyuan's elder brother Hou Changping is a person who has a very wide range of friends. It can be said that in the entire Izumo Town, there are not many people he does not know.

For things like renting a house, you still need to ask Hou Changping for help in order to rent a cost-effective house at the most cost-effective price.

Of course, Baishao definitely can't let people help in vain, so on the way there, they bought a lot of pastries and some seasonal fruits for Hou's family.

When Bai Chuanbai talked about it with Hou Changyuan when they arrived at the iron shop of the Hou family, Hou Changyuan laughed, "You guys just came back from Xieyang County. He helped people run errands and bought several The upper class yard, I just had time to rest today, so I let you catch up, third brother is really lucky."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and shouted towards the yard behind, "Brother, brother, come out quickly."

"Hey, here we come." Hou Changping answered loudly from the back of the yard.

Bai Shao couldn't help pursing her lips and laughing.

Sure enough, they are worthy of being brothers, their voices are equally loud and full of spirit.

Hou Changyuan on the side noticed Bai Shao's snickering movement, bent down and hugged her, "Why, little Shaoer, why are you snickering?"

"Shao'er didn't snicker, but Shao'er was just thinking that Uncle Hou's voice is similar to that of Second Uncle Hou." Because Hou Changping was a little older than Bai Chuanbai by a year or two, Bai Shao called Hou Changping uncle.

"Haha, our ancestral voice is loud, except for one little guy." Hou Changyuan laughed cheerfully.

"Oh? Who is that?" Bai Shao was suddenly curious.

In a family full of loud voices, it was strange to have a non-loud voice.

"It's my elder brother's youngest son, that guy gave him... hey..." Hou Changyuan, who has always been quick to talk, was a little hesitant to speak, "Anyway, he is back today, you can see Xiao Shaoer."

When he said this, Bai Shao became more and more curious.

Because there were always people coming and going in the iron shop of Hou's family, Hou Changyuan held Bai Shao and talked with Bai Chuanbai in front of him, and at the same time turned his head occasionally to collect money.

Bai Shao was bored, so she had no choice but to lie on Hou Changyuan's shoulder and observe those field tools.

After about a cup of tea time, Bai Shao suddenly saw a burly man appearing in the blacksmith shop, she thought to herself, this is probably the uncle of the Hou family, so she hurriedly jumped out of Hou Changyuan's arms, facing the waiter Chang Ping called out sweetly, "Uncle Hou."

"Hey, this is the little Shao'er that you often mention, Chang Yuan. She is really cute and cute." When Chang Ping saw Bai Shao, his eyes lit up immediately, and he gave Bai Shao'er who had just touched the ground with his feet again. Holding it up and hugging it, "Oh, this is a girl, fragrant and soft, I don't know how much better than those brats, oh..."

It was not the first time that Bai Shao was lifted into the air. Although he felt helpless in his heart, he giggled like all seven-year-old children.

Hou Changping hugged Bai Shao several times, and finally put Bai Shao on the ground, "It would be great if one of the two brats in my family is a daughter..."

"My daughter is impossible, but I can marry you a daughter-in-law." Someone who came to buy farm tools couldn't help laughing when he saw it, "Brother Changping, isn't your eldest son 17 years old? Did you kiss?"

"Let's talk, it's from Lijiatun. Now it depends on whether the children are willing. If the children are willing, then I will do it for them." Hou Changping said with a sharp smile.

"Oh, congratulations." After buying the farm tools, the man left the Hou's blacksmith shop with his hands clasped.

"Brother Hou is going to marry a daughter-in-law, congratulations really." Although Bai Chuanbai was cowardly and dull, he was not stupid, and he knew to rush to congratulate Hou Changping at this moment.

"The horoscope hasn't been written yet." Hou Changping said modestly, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face, "There are two boys in my family, even if the big one is established, there is still a small one. Without him Brother is capable, I'm afraid it will be difficult to say in the future."

"Father, do you ever say that about your son?" Suddenly, a somewhat soft voice sounded from behind the crowd with a bit of resentment.

When Bai Shao turned her head, she saw a young man in a pale pink robe, with red lips and white teeth, and a wreath hanging around his neck... a boy!
juvenile!

This is a man!
The pink gown, although it is a male style, but the color, the embroidered peach blossoms on the bottom of the gown, and the wreath on the neck all make Bai Shao dizzy.

She is obviously a boy, but why is she dressed like a girl?

If he didn't know that he hadn't transmigrated into the Dream of Red Mansions, Bai Shao would have almost thought that he had met Jia Baoyu.

"Yu'er is here." Hou Changyuan was the first to turn his head and smiled at the boy.

Yu'er... This name is also feminine.

But Uncle Hou said just now that he has two sons. Could it be that he was wrong, this is actually a girl?
Bai Shao stared at Hou Yu in a daze.

Until he smiled at Hou Changyuan, and said in a slightly shy voice, "Second uncle, I haven't seen you for a long time, and your body has become much stronger again."Only then did Bai Shao realize that this is really a boy.

The Hou family must be crazy about wanting their daughter...

"Haha, you boy, I forge iron every day, so my body naturally needs to be strong. But you, why are you so weak, like a woman." Hou Changyuan was actually very concerned about the fact that his mother raised his little nephew as a girl. I'm a little dissatisfied, but the child's personality has been developed, he is not a real father, and he has no clear stand against it, so he just watched a good man, who was raised to love wearing pink clothes, wearing Yingluo, and pursing his lips Laughing shy character.

"What Second Uncle said, if Grandma hears it, I'm afraid..." Hou Yu felt a little helpless. His own style of dressing was not his favorite, but he had just gotten used to it over the past ten years.

Besides, whether pink or black, they are just a color of the coat. Why does the second uncle think that wearing pink is a girl?
Hou Yu shook his head in confusion, but before he could say anything, he suddenly felt a burning gaze.

As soon as he raised his head, he saw Bai Shao who was obviously curious but still suppressed his thoughts.

It was not the first time he met this kind of gaze, so Hou Yu smiled at Bai Shao very calmly, walked to Hou Changping's side, and said shyly, "Father, you can't say that about me, even though I don't Big brother is capable, but I have a good brother to take care of me."

"You, you..." Hou Changping glanced at his youngest son helplessly and dotingly, "It's so easy to come to Izumo Town, you can have a good time here, tell your second uncle what you like, I'm afraid Dad will be busy these days and won't be able to take care of you."

"Father, don't worry." Hou Yu smiled and nodded.

Hou Changping rubbed his youngest son's head, then turned his attention to Bai Chuanbai, "This is brother Bai from Shilipu, right?"

"Yes, I met the third brother Bai when I was shopping in the town. He is very kind and he is a good friend." Hou Changyuan took the initiative to take the responsibility of introducing, "Today the third brother Bai told me that Renting a house in Izumo Town, it is a coincidence that you need to bring a shop, brother, you are back today, otherwise I have to ask someone else."

"What price does Brother Bai want to rent?" Hou Changyuan deserved to be a seasoned introducer, and the first sentence got to the point.

"Probably..." Bai Chuanbai hesitated, "Probably only three or forty taels of silver..."

Bai Shao said loudly from the side, "Uncle Hou, what are the prices of the shops with courtyards in Izumo Town?"

"There are some that are a little bit on the sides, about 40 taels, and the middle ones are better, maybe five to sixty taels. If you talk about it carefully, you may be able to move the price a little bit." Hou Changping pondered for a while and said.

"I want the one in the middle." Bai Shao didn't hesitate, "Please trouble Uncle Hou to help us find a better location, we probably want to open a snack shop, the first or second yard at the back is enough for people to live in .”

With such complete trust, Hou Changping burst out laughing, "Aren't you afraid that I'll pick something you don't like, or just pick something very bad?"

"It's not necessary to be suspicious, but it's not necessary to employ people." Bai Shao shook his head slightly, and said in a tone of endorsement, "Besides, if Second Uncle Hou is so good, Uncle Hou will definitely not be bad. Shao'er believes in Uncle Hou."

"Hahaha..." Hou Changping laughed more and more happily, and finally hugged Xiao Baishao, "Okay, I will find it for you this afternoon, and if there are no accidents, I can take you to see it tomorrow." The house is gone, okay, little Shaoer."

"Thank you Uncle Hou." Bai Shao smiled and thanked Chang Ping.

At noon that day, Bai Laosan's family ate at Hou's house.

Originally, Bai Laosan's family wanted to go back to cook, but the Hou family tried their best to invite them warmly, so they didn't rush back and had a meal at Hou's house.

Originally, the relationship between the two was good, but now they have a meal and a drink, and the relationship is one step closer.

And Bai Yunshi and Hou Yu, because they are about the same age, actually played together.

Maybe Bai Yun really lacks playmates, otherwise why would he be able to play with Hou Yu...

Bai Shao was puzzled by this.

After lunch, Bai Chuanbai was thinking about the fields that he didn't know when to irrigate, so the family left Hou's house early and went back to Shilipu.

"I'm afraid it will be busy farming in these two days." Wu was a little worried, "The three mu of land depends on me and your father. It may be difficult to plant it in the two days when there is water."

If there is no time limit for the work on the three acres of land, Mrs. Wu and Mr. Bai Chuanbai can still keep busy.

However, transplanting rice seedlings requires water in the field, and the time for water is only two or three days.And in these two or three days, the Bai family had to sell Liangpi, so half of the time was wasted, and the remaining half, even if Wu and Bai Chuanbai worked from dawn to dusk, they couldn't finish these three meals within two or three days. acres of land.

Bai Shao gave them an idea, "Father, mother, why don't we rent someone to do the work? I heard from Da Chunniang next door that it only costs five or six yuan to rent someone for a day. I think there are people who are willing to do this job." A lot."

In this era, due to various restrictions, many farmers lived on the fields. If the yield of wheat and rice was high, the family's life would be better for a year, but if the yield of wheat and rice was low, the family's life would be poor.

Families like the Bai family who are farming while also running a business are actually rare.

Although doing business is more profitable, it takes a lot of risk.Unlike farming, as long as you plant honestly and don't encounter natural disasters that are rare in many years, you will definitely have a harvest.In business, there are profits and losses. It can make people earn a lot of money, and it can also make people lose their fortunes.So many people are jealous but dare not touch it, preferring to be a poor farmer.

However, besides businessmen and farmers, there is another kind of people, they are called landlords.

People who own a lot of land are always busy during the busy farming season.

At that time, they would rent those who had no energy but nothing to do to help farm the fields. They would pay five or six yuan a day, and take care of one lunch, so that they could easily complete the work in the field.

In Bai Chuanbai's consciousness, only big landlords can do this kind of renting work.

How can a small farmer like him with only three acres of land have the right to rent people to work.

If people around knew about this, would they point at his spine and laugh at him?

"Well, let's go." Bai Chuanbai hesitantly rejected Bai Shao, "Shao'er, our family has so little land, and your mother and I will finish it after a while, why bother to rent someone to work, A lot of money wasted.”

"Our three mu of land is indeed a little short." Bai Shao frowned. She wanted to do business to make money before, and she was very indifferent to land property.

But Bai Chuanbai was obviously different from what she thought.

As a pure farmer, what Bai Chuanbai loves is the land, the food, and working hard to make money, not doing business...

Perhaps, she should respect the ideas of her father and mother.

Bai Shao nodded thoughtfully, "Father, how about we buy some land."

"Buy land?" Bai Chuanbai raised his head in surprise, with a hint of joy in the corner of his eyes, "Shao'er, why do you want to buy land?"

"There is too much land, father and mother can't do it, so we can rent someone to work with confidence." Bai Shao said solemnly.

Bai Chuanbai suddenly had a feeling that his mind was being seen through, he blushed and lowered his head.

The Wu family on the side couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled, "Your father has envied Zhu Yuan's family the most in his life, because his family has a lot of land, and many places in Izumo Town belong to his family. Every time the farming season is busy, Most of the people in our village go to work and get paid. Your father has been there many times, and every time he comes back, he always tells me that it would be great if our family could have so much land..."

However this is not possible.

Mrs. Liu is devoted to business and doesn't care about the land at all.

The Bai family's original [-] mu of land was bought by Mr. Bai after he returned from the county seat.

Later, when Bai Chuanqiang failed to do business and paid too much, Liu once wanted to sell the land to subsidize Bai Chuanqiang, but was rejected by Mr. Bai.

It is said that the two were angry for several days at that time.

However, it turns out that Mr. Bai's insistence is correct, because Bai Chuanqiang's business has involved many aspects in these years, and he didn't make much money, on the contrary, he mostly lost money.If it weren't for the Bai family's fifteen acres of land, they might have gone to the northwest wind long ago.

Business is profitable, and land is stable property, which can generate money on a regular basis.

Therefore, if the business is to be done, this land must be bought!
In the afternoon, the fields were flooded with water.

Although someone borrowed rice seedlings from someone before, they had to wait until others had leftovers to get them, so Bai Chuanbai went to the main room first, and discussed with Mr. Bai. field) to pick up some rice seedlings.

The old man Bai agreed without further ado, "It was agreed before, the land will be distributed to you, and the rice seedlings in the vine fields are also allowed to be harvested by you. Go and get them now."

Bai Chuanbai nodded, and just as he was about to leave the main room, Mrs. Liu said eccentrically at the side, "Third brother, you can save some time, don't just pick it up if your father says you want it, we'll use it up, we'll have the rest What is the use of the twelve acres of land!"

"Mother, I won't..." Bai Chuanbai turned his head around, and argued weakly.

"Why not, your heart has changed a long time ago, and you have become ruthless, third child, you have been spoiled by Wu Laolai's daughter. I don't believe you if you have changed." Liu Shi turned to Bai Chuan Bo took a sip.

Bai Chuanbai lowered his head, he knew that he couldn't reason with Liu Shi about Wu Shi.

No matter what he said, he was being led astray by Wu Shi. Only when he shut up and agreed to Liu Shi's idea, did Liu think that he was not led as bad.

"Okay, don't talk about it. In previous years, we washed rice seedlings on half an acre of land, and [-] mu of land is enough. It is impossible that this year will not be enough." Mr. Bai stopped Liu's yin and yang, and calmed down again. Bai Chuanbai, "Don't listen to your mother's nonsense, just use rice seedlings to squeeze it."

After finishing speaking, he took a sip of tea and said, "You don't have enough manpower, and you still have to do food business. If you can't finish planting during the two days of watering, please tell me, and I will take your brothers to help you. .”

"What?" When Mrs. Liu heard this, she immediately became unhappy, "He didn't give us the money he earned from the catering business, so why should we help him plant rice seedlings, let him do it himself, and let Wu Laolai my daughter to go to work."

"We're all one family, don't talk about two families." Mr. Bai was completely helpless.

He saw that the relationship between the third child's family and the Bai family was a little distant, so he tried every means to bring them into each other's relationship.

But Mrs. Liu is lucky, every word is a setback...

"What kind of family? We're separated. They don't give me any money they earn. How can there be a family?" Mrs. Liu glared fiercely at Mr. Bai, then turned around and took a look at Bai Chuanbai, muttering, "They have made money now, so they don't look down on poor people like us."

"Okay, okay, third child, go back." At this moment, old man Bai didn't want to say anything, he only wanted Bai Chuanbai to leave the main room urgently, lest Mrs. Liu would continue to say something sad.

"That's fine, Dad, I'll go first." Bai Chuanbai didn't want to hear these words, so he nodded, opened the curtain, and went back to the west side room.

Liu Shi was behind him, her eyes widened unwillingly, "Third brother, did he just leave like this?"

"What if you don't leave?" Old Master Bai drank the tea in the bowl in one go, and when he put down the tea bowl, he said angrily, "I've never seen such a mother like you."

"What……"

This sentence can be regarded as stabbing a hornet's nest, Liu's eyes widened at that time, and he broke up with Mr. Bai, "Why am I a mother? I pulled him up with shit and urine, right? I gave his life, right? Where did he come from without me? Why do you say that about me, Bai Jingsheng..."

There was another noisy sound in the main room, and the descendants of the Bai family calmly looked up at the direction of the main room, and continued to do what they should do.

Now that the field has been filled with water, other people have already prepared the rice seedlings, which can be transplanted after being transported by a flat car, but Bai Shao’s family has not prepared the rice seedlings, so the five members of the family are making Liangpi and other things. After that, he quickly got off the ground.

Squeezing rice seedlings, as the name suggests, means that farmers need two or three to pluck the rice seedlings, and use the water already in the field to wash off the mud at the roots of the rice seedlings. Tie it up and tie it into a knot, and it will be regarded as a handful of rice seedlings.

Because this is a very slow job, everyone in Bai Laosan's family took a small wooden bench and put it in the field, just a little higher than the water surface, so that people could sit on it. Easily pick up rice seedlings.

After all the surrounding areas have been collected, then pick up the rice seedlings and walk two steps forward, and then move forward after collecting them.

In this way, when Bai Chuanbai felt that the harvested rice seedlings were enough for one mu of land, he borrowed a flat cart, picked up the rice seedlings, put them on the flat cart, and pushed them to the Bai family's house together with Wu. In front of the fields.

On the side of the rice seedling field, Bai Yunshi and Bai Wei sat inside and continued to pluck the rice seedlings, while Bai Shao followed Bai Chuanbai to the field where the rice seedlings were to be planted, and evenly placed the bundled rice seedlings in every area of ​​the one-acre field. It is enough to ensure that there will be no such thing as rice seedlings halfway through the transplanting.

Next, it is the highlight of this busy farming season, the transplanting of rice seedlings.

Because of his young age and insufficient strength, the seedlings planted by Bai Shao always floated up and were in a mess.

On the other hand, at Wu's and Bai Chuanbai's place, there is a neat and lush patch of rice seedlings, which are distributed according to the same pattern. At first glance, it looks a bit beautiful.

The two of them worked neatly and quickly, but even so, it was dark before half of the acre of land had been planted.

Bai Wei and Bai Yunshi ran over with two big rice seedlings, put them on the ground, wiped off the sweat with their elbows, looked at Bai Shao who was dozing off on the ground, "Shao'er, I told you not to You just want to follow, are you tired now?"

"I'm not tired, but I just don't know how to insert it." Bai Shao raised her head and said in a daze.

"I'm sleepy and drowsy, and I'm not tired." Bai Wei couldn't help laughing, "Okay, we'll go back now."

"Oh." Bai Shao nodded, put her head on her knees again, and closed her eyes.

After all, it is only the body of a seven-year-old child. Even if he has the soul of an adult, his exhaustion is always uncontrollable.

After Bai Chuanbai and Wu finished planting the rice seedlings on hand, the two found a clean puddle to wash their hands, and then walked out of the field.

"Shao'er is asleep?" Wu shi saw Bai Shao who was hugging her knees and curled up in the ground, and said with some distress, "Hurry up and go home and sleep here, what if there is a cold."

"I'm carrying it." Bai Chuanbai took off the outermost clothes on his body, revealing the clean clothes that hadn't been splashed with mud, and asked Wu to hold Bai Shao and put it on his back.

When the family of five returned home, the Bai family had already finished their dinner.

Bai Chuanlian, the second child of the Bai family, was standing at the door of the main room picking his teeth. When he saw the third and third Bai's family coming back dirty, he couldn't help but greeted him with a smile, "Oh, you are back, third, you have been working hard all day. , earning money in the morning and working in the evening, the iron body can’t handle it.”

If these words sounded personal, then Bai Chuan even changed the subject and said with a playful smile, "Why don't I help you with work in the afternoon, and you give me the money you earned in the morning?"

So Bai Laosan's family was busy all morning for nothing?

This Bai Chuan should not be too obvious about taking advantage of the fire.

It's a pity that Bai Shao fell asleep at this moment, if she was awake and heard these words, she would definitely beat around the bush and scold Bai Chuanlian.

Fortunately, Bai Laosan's family still has a Bai Wei.

Although he doesn't know Bai Shao's way of beating around the bush and cursing others, but Bai Wei has a temper and courage, and immediately pointed at Bai Chuanlian and yelled, "What are you talking about, Er Bo, when I asked my father for money, I kissed him Brother, why do you need us to give you the money for helping my father now, this is the brother that the second uncle said? I think it is Brother Qian."

"You little girl, what do you know about movies?" Bai Chuan gave Bai Wei a glance, "If you don't give me the money, wouldn't it be that I'm helping you with your work for nothing?"

As expected of a mother and son, Bai Chuanlian and Liu's thought almost exactly the same - you don't share the money with me, so why should I help you share the work.

If you are an ordinary person, you are right to think so.

But they are brothers, brothers of the first-milk compatriots, brothers of the same surname.

Bai Chuanbai's hands couldn't help shaking.

"Third brother, think about it." Bai Chuan grinned and clenched his teeth, "Look at how tired Fifth Sister is today. If I help, Fifth Sister won't be so tired."

Hearing this, Bai Chuanbai's trembling hands suddenly clenched into fists.

Yes, if someone could help, Shao Er would not be so tired that she would fall asleep on her back.

Everyone in the family can be tired, but Bai Shao cannot be tired.

If something went wrong with tiredness, he couldn't forgive himself.

But, do you really want to give Bai Chuanlian all the money for the whole morning?
Bai Chuanbai raised his head, a little hesitant.

Bai Shao actually did not fall asleep completely.

Even if she fell asleep and Bai Chuanbai carried her all the way back, she would have woken up long ago.

It's just that her body is too tired, she doesn't even bother to open her eyes.

Now, after realizing Bai Chuanbai's hesitation, no matter how tired Bai Shao is, she has to open her eyes.

"Second Uncle, it only costs five or six yuan to rent a person for a whole day. Er Uncle wants to take away all the money we earn and the cost of paying for it with half a day's help. Isn't it a bit too much?" Bai Shao slowly raised his head from Bai Chuanbai's back, and said slowly.

"You would rather be cheaper for outsiders than for your own family." Bai Chuanlian looked at Bai Chuanbai in surprise, "If you have this money, you must give it to my brother first. Why would you give it to others."

"But other people only need five or six pennies a day, Second Uncle wants too much." Bai Shao closed her eyes halfway, and lay on Bai Chuanbai's back again.

"This...hehe." Bai Chuan even rolled his eyes and laughed, "Why don't I ask you so much, just give me twenty cents a day."

It is said that it only costs five or six yuan to rent someone else, and Bai Chuanlian is still asking for twenty yuan here. Do you really bully them like idiots?

Bai Wei's violent temper couldn't help it again, "Second uncle, don't dream, we can't give you twenty cents, you work slowly and lazy, and you still want twenty cents a day, twenty cents a day. Wen we can rent three or four good hands, why should we rent you?"

"Because we are blood brothers." Bai Chuan didn't even care about Bai Wei's anger at all, and still said with a cheeky smile.

"You..." Bai Wei was completely annoyed.

Bai Shao shook her eyelashes and said slowly, "Second Uncle, have you finished planting the twelve acres of land at home?"

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Bai Chuanlian's face froze immediately.

After a while, he glared at Bai Shao with some resentment, and murmured, "What's the matter if you haven't finished your work, as long as you are willing to give me twenty cents a day, mother will definitely let me work for you..."

It's just that he didn't dare to say these words, because although Mrs. Liu gave way, Mr. Bai would definitely reprimand him.

Originally, in Bai Chuanlian's plan, he first stopped Bai Chuanbai's family and asked Bai Chuanbai to say that he would pay him to work. Then Bai Chuanlian told Mr. Bai that it was Bai Chuanbai who asked him on his own initiative, so Mr. Bai also said Nothing.

But now...

Bai Chuanlian could only roll his eyes, and went back to the east house.

"Shao'er still has a solution." Bai Wei admired.

Bai Chuanlian didn't care about her losing her temper like that, but Bai Shao was able to stab Bai Chuanlian's weakness with one knife, making him leave angrily.

She will never be able to reach this point.

Fortunately, she is not jealous of Shao'er at all, because this smart girl is her younger sister, her own sister.

"Let's go, let's go back and cook some food." Seeing that Bai Chuanlian was finally sent away, Wu sighed, and led Bai Wei and Bai Yunshi back to the east side room.

Bai Chuanbai also hurried back to the house with Bai Shao on his back, and carefully placed Bai Shao on the bed.

"Shao'er, Shao'er, do you still eat?" Seeing that Bai Shao was going to sleep again, Wu yelled at her loudly for fear that she would not eat.

"Eat... Mom, I want to eat that pot cake..." Bai Shao lay on the edge of the bed and whispered.

"Okay, mother will post it for you." Wu Shi smiled at her, "Don't sleep, you are asleep now, and you won't be able to wake up after eating."

"En." Bai Shao nodded obediently.

Wu Shi couldn't help but have a sore nose.

What a well-behaved and obedient girl, she could obviously live a life of rich clothes and fine food, but she followed these two mud legs, came into contact with things that she should never have been in contact with in her life, and suffered a lot of hardships that she shouldn't have to suffer ...

It would be great if that didn't happen in the first place.

Wu sighed for a long time, turned around and took an iron basin, filled some water, poured some noodles into it, and kneaded it into a slightly hard dough.

When the pot noodles were ready, Bai Wei also cleaned the cauldron, and Bai Yunshi also broke the old beans into sections. Wu stepped forward, first fried the old beans into the pot, added water, After boiling, press the slightly hard dough directly into small noodle cakes one by one, stick them around the cauldron, then cover the pot and continue to burn.

Like this kind of rice, steamed buns and vegetables are made in one pot, it is most suitable for cooking when there is no time.

After about two cups of tea, when the aroma of beans overflowed, Bai Wei washed her hands and then lifted the lid of the pot to take out the steamed buns.

Mrs. Wu stopped her, "Wait a little longer, I'll burn the two fires at hand, and bake the pot cakes until they become a bit mushy. Your sister likes to eat them the most."

"Hey." Bai Wei replied crisply.

The pot cakes made in the ground pot are soft and wriggly with the vegetable soup on the bottom, and the crispy paste is baked on the top. It is the favorite kind of bun of the Bai Shao family.

When the family was not separated, Mrs. Liu seldom made this pancake because she didn't like to eat steamed buns, and she couldn't chew them when she was too old.

Now that the family is separated, Mrs. Wu often cooks it for the children.

"Okay." About half a cup of tea later, Wu slightly lifted the lid of the pot, and seeing that the vegetable soup was almost cooked, he stopped and asked Bai Wei to take out two bowls, one One filled with pot cakes, one filled with beans, and put them on the table that was used as a simple wooden box, waiting for the meal to be served.

"Shao'er, Shao'er, wake up, it's time to eat." Bai Wei came over and called Bai Shao.

Bai Shao sniffed, and the aroma of pot cakes penetrated into her lungs along the esophagus. She was so excited that she rolled over and fell off the bed.

"Shao'er." Frightened out of her wits, Wu shoved the spatula in her hand to Bai Yunshi and rushed over, "How is it, you didn't fall down."

"It's okay, mother." Bai Shao got up from the ground a little embarrassed.

"What's wrong with you?" Bai Wei took her hand, dragged her to the yard, and asked her with concern while washing her hands with mud.

Bai Shao shook her head, indicating that she was fine.

How would she tell Bai Wei that she fell asleep just now and had a small dream, dreaming that she had returned to that era, dreaming of people in white coats walking back and forth in front of him, dreaming of someone walking in front of her Crying in the ear.

That kind of real feeling made her think that Bai Shao was just a dream she had in a coma.

When she opened her eyes and saw Bai Wei, she was so excited that she didn't notice that she was sleeping on the edge of the bed, so she accidentally fell off the bed.

Excited?
Bai Shao was suddenly startled, did she already care about her family so much?
Sister Bai Wei who has a bad temper but carefully washes her hands and braids herself, who dares to protect herself behind Liu Shi when she is angry, brother Bai Yunshi who is taciturn but brave enough to beat thieves in order to protect her family, is kind and honest and willing to be bullied by her sister-in-law Wu's mother who was willing to be bullied by Liu Shi but dared to resist Liu Shi because Bai Shao was bullied, and Bai Chuanbai's father who was cowardly and filial and did not dare to resist Liu Shi left his hometown but was willing to grit his teeth and rent a house for his family.

Although there is Liu who is domineering, selfish and unreasonable, although there is the bad fourth uncle Bai who always plots against his family, and the second uncle Bai who always keeps his eyes on money, there are many, many, selfish or greedy people.

But for Bai Shao, as long as his family is united and loving, then what do other people matter?

Compared with Gu's father and mother who only searched for her back then, and Gu's brother who pushed her down from the 26-story building.It is a great fortune to have such an honest and kind mother, a kind and amiable father, and loving brothers and sisters.

Bai Shao doesn't want to be Gu Wanqing, she likes her current status, she likes Bai Laosan's family, she wants to continue to be Bai Shao.

No, don't let her go back.

The soft feel of the muslin cloth felt on her hands, as soon as Bai Shao lowered her head, she saw Bai Wei wiping her hands.

Her expression was so gentle and careful that Bai Shao couldn't help but smile.

"It's time to eat." Mrs. Wu filled the porridge, stood at the door of the west side house, and shouted to the place.

Bai Shao and Bai Wei raised their heads at the same time, and responded crisply, "Hey!"

After dinner in the evening, Bai Laosan's family originally wanted to rest, because they were too tired during the day, doing business in the morning and planting rice seedlings in the afternoon, and they were busy and exhausted all day long, and they had to fight wits and courage with the Bai family. Everyone gets tired.

However, just after Bai Chuanbai had fastened the door of the west side house, someone knocked on the door.

"Third brother, third sister-in-law, are you there?" It was Xu's voice.

Bai Chuanbai and Wu Shi looked at each other. If he was a cunning person, he was half dead from exhaustion at the moment, so he might pretend to be asleep and not reply.

In fact, Bai Shao really wanted Bai Chuanbai and Wu to do this.

But the couple thought about it for a while, and got up and opened the door.

"What's the matter?" Bai Chuanbai opened the door of the west side room and asked in a low voice.

"Third brother, it's my mother who has something to do with you." Xu smiled shyly and said in a soft voice.

"It's so late..." Bai Chuanbai sighed, "Let their mothers sleep, I'll go over."

After finishing speaking, he closed the door of the west side room and followed Mrs. Xu to the main room.

In the room on the west side, the Bai Shao siblings looked at each other, and Bai Wei took the lead to say, "Mother, I don't feel at ease, let's go and have a look."

"You guys are exhausted today too, so don't go, your father can handle it." Wu's heart aches for her children and wants them to rest early.

Bai Shao was also worried about Bai Chuanbai, who knew that once Liu called Bai Chuanbai over, nothing good would happen, so she wanted to get up from the bed.

Bai Wei felt sorry for her younger sister, so she pushed her down, "Mother, Yun Shi, Shao'er, you wait at home, I'll go over."

After speaking, he quickly jumped out of bed, put on his shoes, and ran out.

Mrs. Wu sighed, "Don't worry about anything, I'm going to move out soon..."

However, there is always something to be afraid of in this world.

When there was a quarrel in the main room, Bai Shao opened her eyes helplessly - she knew...

In the main room, Bai Chuanbai stood at the door, looking at his own mother Liu Shi with a sad face.

Beside him is Bai Wei whose face is flushed with anger.

"Grandma, we won't rent the second uncle. I don't know what kind of virtue he is. Let him work for our family. I'm afraid we won't be able to collect a grain of rice from that piece of land. Second uncle, we have already rejected you outside. Now, you come up to the house to provoke again, what do you want to do? Do you think our family is not tired enough? Not exhausted yet?" Bai Wei stared at Bai Chuanlian angrily, moved his small mouth, and said It popped out with a crackling sound.

"What are you bastards talking about?" Mrs. Liu glared at Bai Wei viciously, "Renting is not renting, why don't you make it cheaper for others? You are all surnamed Bai, and you just want to give money to others. You can’t give it to your family, what is your intention.”

"Grandma, I still want to ask you what your intentions are. Knowing that Erbo is lazy at work, it is not good to ask him to work for our family, heck, grandma, even if Erbo pays for our family, we will not let him Work." Bai Wei laughed angrily at Liu's unreasonable words.

"You, you, you bastard!" Liu Shi was also very angry, if it wasn't for Bai Chuanqiong who was pulling her, she would have stood up and poked that finger on Bai Wei's face.

"Third son, when you say a word, you just look at your daughter and talk back to me, don't you?" After cursing Bai Wei a few words, she turned her gaze to Bai Chuanbai, "Since calling you Come here, you just stand here like a stick, feeling that your family has been pawned by a brat, right? Do you still have the courage to be the head of the family? Let you speak, just say whether you want to Rent your second brother to work for you."

"Mother, I... this..." Bai Chuanbai was very embarrassed.

He did have the idea of ​​renting someone to work, but he never thought of renting Bai Chuanlian to work.

Let's not talk about Bai Chuanlian asking too much from Shizida's mouth, just like Bai Wei said, Bai Chuanlian is too bad at work, and he always does it badly. If he is really asked to plant rice seedlings for Bai Laosan's family, it is estimated that the area Production has to be halved.

"Third brother, that's your real brother. Going to work for you, it's a matter of course for you to give him some hard work. I shouldn't have brought this up, but you should have brought it up first. Now I brought it up first, what do you mean with a bitter face? Do you think we are greedy for your money? Do you think we cheat you? If it wasn’t for kissing you, who would put down the work at home to help you, third child , you have to think clearly." Liu said plausibly.

The face of Bai Weiqi on the side was distorted, and he wanted to mess with Liu shi regardless.

Suddenly, the curtain behind him was lifted, and the little Bai Shao came in slowly, closed his clothes and said, "Grandma, thank you so much for taking care of our family, otherwise, we will give the money to grandma." Nai, help us to rent people, we can rent whoever we want, we can pay as much as we want, and we will leave the rest to Nai."

"Really?" Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liu became excited immediately.

When she first started doing business with Bai Laosan's family, Liu only regarded them as small troubles, and she didn't pay much attention to the few pennies they earned.

Unexpectedly, after a while, the business of Bai Lao San's family is getting better and better, and the money they make has changed from being inconspicuous at the beginning to a considerable amount.

According to Bai Chuanqiong's estimation, Bai Shao's family can earn six or seven taels of silver every month.

Sixty-seven taels of silver may not seem like much at first glance, but if it takes one year or two years, this amount of money is not a small amount.

At that time, Liu's heart was moved, and he wanted to control the financial power of the Bai and Lao San's family, and wanted to return to the situation before the separation.

After Mrs. Liu took some time to vaguely reveal this idea to Bai Chuanqiong, Bai Chuanqiong advised her not to rush to bring this up. After all, the family has been separated. The method is to make Bai Lao San's family take the initiative to give up the financial power, so that the mother is kind and filial, and the old man Bai will not object too much.

So, there is the present scene.

Liu only likes money, but doesn't like trouble, that's why she doesn't do business herself, but lets her son and elder brother do business.

Even the later recipes for iron plate tofu and Liangpi recipes were all suggested by Bai Chuanqiong.

Afterwards, Bai Chuanqiong was the only one who was lost when he failed to grab the prescription, and Liu Shi didn't care about it.

For her, as long as the money is given to her.

Originally, in Liu's plan, her plan to ask Bai Chuanbai for money was still progressing slowly, and it was not yet time to get all the money.

But now, Bai Shao's words almost hit Liu Shi's heart, making her excited uncontrollably.

"Really." Bai Shao nodded affirmatively, pouring oil on Liu's already excited heart.

The flames rushed up all of a sudden, raging fiercely, accompanied by crackling sounds, burning Liu's reason.

"Then, then give it to me, hurry up, in the future, if you want money, you can come to me to pay, give me the money..." Liu looked at Bai Shao expectantly, only waiting for a box of silver to be handed over to him in the next moment. hand.

In the whole main room, everyone looked at Bai Shao.

Some are angry, some are in disbelief, some are jealous, and some are in doubt.

Bai Shao smiled and tugged at the corners of her clothes that were wrinkled due to sleeping, and said slowly, "It is definitely not possible to pay the money. Where can I pay the money when people are gone. Grandma should keep the money and take care of the old man. In the future, our family will not be able to perform filial piety in front of grandma, so we can only count on the money to do our part in front of grandma."

"Everyone is gone, where did they go?" Bai Chuanlian couldn't help asking, who was engrossed in listening.

"Where did you go? As you expected, he died." Bai Shao suddenly stopped smiling and said coldly.

The old man Bai, who had been listening to the conversation with his ears sideways, suddenly dropped the teacup in his hand, and turned his head to reprimand Bai Shao, "Fifth sister, what are you talking about, you can't die, how old are you, and how old are your parents?" No matter how old you are, the days to come will be long, so don't say that you are dead or not."

"It's a bit interesting for my father to say this. Now grandma is forcing my father to give money to my second uncle, and she wants to take away our family's money. Isn't that forcing us to death? Without money, there is no way to buy food. Our family is going to starve to death." Bai Shao turned her head, even if she was facing Mr. Bai, her tone was not very polite, and she was still cold to the bone.

"The money is not given to your second uncle for free, but to let him work for you." Old Master Bai sighed, "Besides, with my father and grandmother here, I can't starve you to death."

Bai Shao couldn't help but sneered, sure enough, old master Bai also supported Bai Chuanbai's renting of Bai Chuanlian.

"My lord was joking. On the night we just separated, none of our family had anything to eat. My grandma made it very clear that we couldn't eat together after we separated. Our family was so hungry that we couldn't ask Da Chun Niang to borrow money." Steamed buns to eat. Now, we are still divided out. After handing over the money to the grandma, there is no food to eat, and no money to buy vegetables to cook. It’s not that the whole family is waiting to die of starvation.” Bai Shao took a look Liu's tone was sharp and authentic.

Mr. Bai pressed his brows with some headaches.

Speaking of this matter, speaking of it, he was the one who was not firm at the beginning, fearing that Mrs. Liu would make trouble, so he thought about secretly sending some food to the third child's family after dinner.

Later, when he saw that they baked steamed buns, Mr. Bai was afraid that Mrs. Liu would find out what was going on, so he put aside his desire to give them away.

I didn't think about it, but now it has become a talking point, and I still can't refute it.

Because at the beginning, Mrs. Liu was indeed refusing to give food to the third child's family on the pretext of separating the family, and she did not succeed in sending food over.

Now, Mrs. Liu wants to control the money of the separated son. In the eyes of others, that is not to force the third son's family to death.

But Mrs. Liu didn't think so. She thought that she had already said that she could let the third child's family withdraw the money, which would be considered a great face for them. Furious, "Who made you die, who forced you to die, I see that you don't know how to use money, and I want to take care of it for you, besides, you were the one who asked me to hold the money, now you say I forced you to die." You were the one who killed you, and it all depended on your mouth, wouldn't it all be mine, wouldn't it?"

"Enough." The old man Bai interrupted her, "Okay, don't talk about it, you still can't hear what the fifth sister is saying? Take care of the money, the third child's family is separated, you No matter how much a mother manages their money, it's not justified, so don't think about it."

"What's wrong with the name, she brought it up by herself. Is it wrong for me to accept her?" Mrs. Liu refused to let go.

"Then do you want to take the money and force the children to death?" Old Master Bai said helplessly, "After taking the money, you want to take the money on the premise of forcing the children to death?"

Liu shi shut her mouth immediately.

She likes money, but she can't afford these five lives.

Old Man Bai sighed again, "Let's not talk about money or not now, fifth sister, I know you are smart, and you purposely put your life to the mouth of your nurse. I promise you, your nurse will not care Your family has money, now this matter is over, what we are talking about is your second uncle helping your family with work."

Come to an end?How to come to an end?

It is because Liu Shi forced Bai Chuanbai to rent Bai Chuanlian to work, that Bai Shao pulled out the irony that she deliberately said, and pulled out the matter of managing money regardless of money, in order to let Liu Shi expose the deepest part of her heart. face.

But now it's a good thing, in the mouth of old man Bai, it has become a matter of ending in a few words, and then going to talk about renting or not renting people to work.

Bai Shao felt a little cold on her body, so she closed her clothes and said lightly, "Do you want my second uncle to help my family with work? In fact, it is also possible. Our family will take care of the second uncle's meals. Of course, Sister Bai Zhi and Sister Bai Ying come to eat it is also fine."

Since Mr. Bai didn't want to mention it, she also pretended to be a fool, and never mentioned the renter's payment. She only deliberately misinterpreted Mr. Bai's meaning, and said that the act of renting Bai Chuanlian was the initiative of Bai Chuanlian's brothers. help.
