Chapter 17 Father Bai Returns 1
The fight between Liu Shi and Bai Dahu seemed to be very serious in the end, both of them passed out, and Bai Lai, who had already closed the door, naturally didn't know what happened afterwards, and they were worrying at home at this time.

It has been more than ten days since the family was separated, and the family has no income at all. If they continue to sit and eat like this, sooner or later they will starve to death.

Although Xue's family is good to her, it is impossible to help her often.

Bai Lai was lying on the kang, watching Xue Shi took out a sewing basket and started to work, she leaned over to look curiously, she saw Xue Shi holding a needle and thread and starting to embroider flowers, her eyes were full of curiosity.

Probably because her eyes were very hot, Xue touched her head and thought she wanted to work, "Lai Lai, your health is not good, if you want to do needlework, you should wait until you are older."

Well, what's the point again, Bai Lai is extremely depressed, this Xue family is good in everything, but she doesn't want to let her do anything.

Lying on the kang and watching Mrs. Xue doing needlework, Bai Ergou said, "Mother, what about the three pheasants? Do you want to sell them for some money?"

Bai Sanshun wanted to raise pheasants for Bai Lai's good, but Bai Ergou thought more. Three pheasants weighed about [-] catties, and a catty of chicken was [-] Wen. Three of them could be sold for about [-] yuan. Money, this money can be exchanged for a lot of food.

Bai Ergou had a problem in his heart, Xue's hand that was doing needlework stopped when he heard his words, and she looked at her eldest son with some sadness.

"Brother, those three pheasants are all hens. We can keep them and sell them after laying eggs." The pheasants will be gone after they are sold, and if the pheasants are sold, they can hatch chicks. Bai Sanshun's heart is also the same. There is an account.

What he said made Bai Ergou dumbfounded, and then he said: "Second brother, you are right, but if a few chickens are seen by the milk, they will definitely be taken away. It's better to sell them for money to buy rice."

"If grandma wants to take it away, she will be taken away even if she bought rice." Bai Sanshun retorted.

Seeing the two brothers talking as if they were arguing, Bai Lai felt happy, and then she interrupted, "Second brother, let's sell the pheasant."

Bai Lai, who has already understood the attraction of Lingquan to wild animals, is not worried that there will be no game to eat in the future. Even if she knows this thing, she can't do it often, otherwise the abnormality on her body will be exposed.

When Bai Sanshun saw that his younger sister actually supported his eldest brother, he was not happy, "Lai Lai, after the pheasant is left behind, I can leave eggs for you to eat. Don't you want to eat egg custard?"

When it comes to delicious egg custard, even Bai Sanshun wants to eat it, but it's a pity that their poor family can't eat it several times a year.

Bai Sanshun looked at Bai Lai with his mouth open, full of anticipation.

Bai Lai looked at her second brother in embarrassment, she leaned into Bai Sanshun's ear and said, "Brother, I figured out how to catch wild game, it's nothing if I sell it, later you take me up the mountain, we Let's catch it together."

Bai Lai and Bai Sanshun spoke in a low voice, only Bai Sanshun heard it, obviously he also thought of how Bai Lai caught four pheasants before, so he nodded.

"Brother, then sell the pheasant."

Bai Sanshun agreed, and Xue's heart was filled with happiness when she saw the three children who could already be the masters of the family.Fortunately, I have a few children.

The three of them discussed it and reached an unanimous decision to let Bai Ergou take the three chickens to the market tomorrow morning to sell the three pheasants.

After the discussion, Bai Ergou and Bai Sanshun planned to go to work in the fields in the late afternoon, while Bai Lai was excluded again.

She was so weak that she couldn't do anything, so she had to stay at home and watch the door. Fortunately, Mrs. Liu didn't come back after the quarrel, otherwise, her small body would not be able to resist her.

In the evening, it was Mrs. Xue who cooked the dinner. In fact, the food she cooked was no better than Bai Sanshun's. They were reluctant to add oil and salt, and the fried wild vegetables were very bland and had no taste at all.

She can't dislike it so much, it's good to eat some now.

It got dark quickly, and they, who were reluctant to light the oil lamps, quickly went to sleep on the kang.Nothing to say all night.

The next day, Bai Ergou took some pheasants away with a basket on his back.Bai Sanshun went on to collect firewood on the mountain, while Mrs. Xue went to the field.

Bored, Bai Lai went to the backyard to water and feed the chickens. Half a day passed like this. Her body was still very weak. After working for a while, her face turned pale and seemed to be transparent.

Just when Bai Lai was going to get some water to drink, she saw Bai Ergou running into the house in a hurry. He was carrying a basket on his back. It looked like all three chickens had been sold.

"Brother, what are you doing in such a hurry?"

"Lai... Lai Lai... Daddy is back..."

Bai Ergou probably ran in a hurry, panting so hard that he couldn't finish his sentence, when he said this, Bai Lai didn't feel much, she just said "Oh."
