The family sat down at the dinner table, ate the stewed chicken separately, and each of them came with a bowl of chicken blood soup with cabbage and vermicelli, and they ate it fragrantly, even Bai Ruozhu leaned comfortably on the chair and didn't want to move, she was going to eat.

At this time, there was a knock at the courtyard door, and a small figure entered. Ran to the door of the hall and looked at them with some blank eyes, it was Bai Zeqing, the Shiro of the Bai family.

"Little four, don't stand, come and eat chicken. Lin Ping'er beckoned to Xiao Si, asked the child to come over, and offered to serve him rice.

Xiao Si stared at the stewed chicken on the table with his eyes, but his mouth said, "I've eaten, I want to eat meat." ”

Bai Ruozhu can guess the situation of the old house, a bowl of meat is divided among several people, and the two old men eat and leave not much for Bai Yibo and Wang, and both of them are the kind of selfish and don't care about children, it is estimated that it is not easy for Xiao Si to eat the mushrooms and beans inside.

Thinking about the fact that children at this age are growing up, when they are hungry for meat, they can only watch but not eat, and it is indeed a kind of torture.

Bai Ruozhu beckoned, let Xiao Si sit next to her, and then served him a small bowl of vegetables, and specially picked out the remaining meat in the basin for him to eat.

A chicken didn't have much meat, and it was divided into one-third for the old house, although Bai Ruozhu's family was full, they were not full of meat, and most of them ate the side dishes inside. Therefore, it is already difficult to pick out the meat in this pot, and it is not in a good position, it is all the parts of the bones.

But even so, Bai Zeqing's eyes suddenly brightened, and he ate it with a bowl, he didn't use chopsticks, he directly took the meat in his hand and gnawed it, and after gnawing it, he still couldn't get enough of it for a long time, as if he couldn't even let go of the gravy.

Although the conditions of the second room are not good, Bai Yihong and Lin Ping'er are parents who love their children, not to mention big fish and meat, but they have never starved their children.

Bai Ruozhu wiped Xiao Si's mouth with a handkerchief, probably because she was pregnant, and she would be extra motherly when she saw that the child was pitiful.

"Eat slowly, I'll leave you a bowl next time. Bai Ruozhu said softly.

Xiao Si suddenly looked up at her, quickly swallowed what was in his mouth, and said, "My mother said bad things about you." His tone was a little stiff, but it was so direct that no one would suspect that it was a child's joke.

Bai Ruozhu didn't expect Xiao Si to make a small report with her, so she couldn't help but be stunned.

As a result, Xiao Si continued: "She said that flies don't bite seamless eggs, and asked grandma to persuade grandpa not to give your baby a family tree in the future." ”

"What?" Lin Ping'er jumped up, "What did your grandmother say, why didn't you give the family tree?"

Xiao Si seems to prefer Bai Ruozhu, although he has eaten a lot of meals from Lin Ping'er, he is only willing to say to Bai Ruozhu when he speaks.

At this moment, Bai Ruozhu thought of what the eldest brother heard, which happened to coincide with what the fourth brother said, and the latter was estimated to be what the Wang family said after the eldest brother left.

Bai Ruozhu looked at Xiao Si, and Xiao Si said, "Grandma said she knew." ”

Bai Yihong slapped the table angrily, "How can my mother listen to my sister-in-law's nonsense? this, this ......"

After all, she is Bai Yihong's mother-in-law, and he can't scold him later.

"Mother is old and confused!" Lin Ping'er didn't care, and said directly, "Changsheng is rich, Ruozhu's child is the child of our Bai family, why don't you give it to the family tree?"

Bai Ruozhu patted her mother's shoulder, "Mother, don't be angry, they don't even count what they said, grandpa is a showman, and books are not read in vain." ”

Lin Ping'er listened to her daughter's words, and instantly seemed to have taken a reassuring pill, and after these days, she felt that her daughter had really grown up and was becoming more and more able to run the house.

Bai Zepei, who had a faint expression, suddenly spoke, "Mother, little sister, don't worry, I will pass the township test, and when the time comes, the eldest aunt will not be too embarrassed for us." ”

It's not the first time Bai Zepei has said this, he also said it in front of the old man last time, which shows his determination, or his confidence. Bai Ruozhu suddenly felt that the second brother was not fighting for a breath, but that he was winning, if he wasn't afraid that his family would worry, he wouldn't want to say it too soon.

Thinking about it like this, Bai Ruozhu felt that the second brother was really demonic, so many people were studying, and the road to the imperial examination was even more difficult, but her second brother was not a famous disciple, and there was no famous teacher to teach, so to have the current level, isn't it enough to be demonic?

Xiao Si said thank you in a daze after eating, and was about to leave without wiping his mouth, Bai Ruozhu stopped him, wiped his mouth and hands with a handkerchief, and then let him leave.

Bai Ruozhu ate more, so he said that he would go out for a walk to eat, Lin Ping'er originally said that she wanted to accompany her, but was stopped by Bai Ruozhu.

"Mother, it's not dark this day, and I'll come back after going out for a while, how can I be so squeamish?"

In the courtyard, Bai Yihong and Bai Zehao were doing carpentry work, and the tables and chairs for the school were halfway completed, Bai Ruozhu found that her father was carving a table, and couldn't help but look behind curiously, only to find that her father's carving level was really good.

Bai Yihong finished carving a pattern, stopped to rest, and then found that his daughter was standing behind him, and said with a smile: "Isn't it boring to watch?"

Bai Ruozhu gave her father a thumbs up, "Dad, your carving level is really amazing, and it's more than enough to be a carpenter." ”

"When you were young, your father really went to work as a carpenter for a while when he was not a farmer, and the master specially taught me for a while, so I learned some crafts. Don't look at your father as a rough man, but he learns things very quickly, the carpenter master originally planned to officially accept me as an apprentice, but unfortunately your grandfather disagreed, saying that we are farmers and industrialists, we are a family of cultivators, there is no need to be a craftsman. Bai Yihong is in a good mood today, and he has eaten and drunk enough, so he can't help but talk to his daughter about the past.

Bai Ruozhu couldn't help but roll his eyes, "What's wrong with the craftsman? Three hundred and sixty lines, the best in the industry, I think that having a craft is the best capital, no matter what time it is, I can't be hungry." ”

"Three hundred and sixty lines, the best in the line?" Bai Yihong said again softly, he felt that what his daughter said was quite reasonable.

"But Dad, the desk in this school doesn't need to be as delicate as carving, right?" Bai Ruozhu asked his own question.

Bai Yihong brushed off the sawdust from the table legs and said, "This table is for Mr. ”

At the mention of Mr., Bai Ruozhu couldn't help but think of the news she heard from the fourth child, looked at her father and asked, "Dad, I heard that my uncle wants to be a gentleman in the school, what do you think?"

Bai Yihong's subordinates paused, seemed to have lost interest in continuing to carve, and couldn't help but sit on the bench on the side, and said: "Probably what your grandfather meant, your uncle has a high vision, so he shouldn't look down on it." ”

Bai Ruozhu shrugged his shoulders, "I hope so, so as not to mislead people's children." ”
