Bai Jiaojiao silently looked at Liu's long hair, she was only in her early thirties this year, but there were a few distinct white hairs between the green silks (Pastoral Strategy Chapter 60). Looking over again, the tiredness in the corners of Liu's eyes had gradually relaxed, his eyelids drooped, and he fell asleep like this.

In the past two days, Liu has always worked with her waist up, and she didn't even notice it. She came back at night and fell asleep when she was tired, but Liu still had to take care of Bao Alian, clean up the house, and get up early to steam rice the next day...... These are all things she did silently but never said.

If it weren't for hearing the conversation between her and Bai's father, she wouldn't know what she had done, Liu's physical work was endured, and she was worried about the family owing a large amount of money every day, not to mention, if she continued like this, she would become ill sooner or later.

She makes so much money just to make her family live better, but if Liu hurts her body again because of this, what is the point of this qiē. She's such a fool! Quietly tore off a few of Liu's white hairs and hid them, and the movements of Bai Jiaojiao's hands became a little softer.

How lucky she is in this life, with such a good mother, for them to boil white hair and old face......

"Kyauk-kyo."

"Shh Bai Jiaojiao wiped the liquid from the corners of her eyes, and whispered to the surprised white father to signal them to go out.

After covering Liu's quilt, Bai Jiaojiao and Bai's father stood at the door and whispered. "A-Niang is asleep."

"Did you hear it all?" The white father squatted at the door and looked at the moon in the sky.

"Well, I snorted a few times when I fell asleep."

"Your aunt is stubborn, just like you. She has suffered too much, and she was often bullied when she was young. It was a cold winter when I gave birth to Bao, and for the sake of my family, I went to the mountains to find some prey to prepare for your aunt. As a result, I didn't come back one night, and your aunt was worried about me and went out to look for me, but I was cold. Father Bai's fingers trembled when he recalled. When I came back, I saw the midwife pouring basins of blood and water outside the house, and I thought that your aunt was going to leave us like this. ”

He still remembered that he caught a pheasant and came back happily, but he didn't expect that it was Liu's dystocia that greeted him. When the midwife told her that she could only keep one mother and son, he was completely confused.

"I think A-Niang must give birth to A-Bao, but A-Dad chooses A-Niang."

Father Bai looked at her deeply. "That's right, I'll tell your aunt that if she's gone, I'll go with her. As a result, your aunt gave birth to Ah Bao with a breath, but she also fell ill because of it. ”

Her father must have been difficult to choose at that time, there was no child in the family who could take care of it, and if he left them, he would definitely not be able to live. just used the lives of the whole family to gamble on Liu's breath, but fortunately, her father won the bet. The white heart also hangs in the air.

"Kyaukjiao, you may think that Daddy is not angry. But Daddy has no ambitions, he just wants our family to be safe, we can have no money, we can be poor, but we can't miss any of them. ”

Bai Jiaojiao stood up, she admitted that she had felt that Bai Hua and Bai Li were closer than Bai Father, this man seemed to be the most indisputable in the world, but in fact he hid the most secrets, which made her a little scared. But Father Bai hid a lot of secrets and also hid his feelings for his family, he didn't care about it, but he knew better what was most important.

"Daddy, I'm confused." Bai Jiaojiao smiled, "I know what to do." ”

Father Bai felt his daughter's closeness and patted the back of her hand, "Okay, okay, don't work too hard." I'm going to accompany your aunt, don't you know that your aunt will be anxious if she can't see me when she wakes up. ”

The road was chosen by her, and she had no reason to let the Liu family follow her to be afraid of hard work, if so, she would really be unfilial.

"Out of business?"

"Rest?"

"Shhhh I'm talking about pretending, you know. Bai Jiaojiao rolled her eyes at Bai Li and Bai Hua. Pretend not to understand. ”

"I understand what you mean, A-Niang has been really hard these days, I saw her squatting down and unable to stand up last time." Bai Hua is a boy, and he is usually embarrassed to say something to Liu. "But you can't keep telling your aunt to let her rest at home."

"It turns out that I want to fork it, I want us to make it up. But he ignored that although A-Niang was capable, she was too hard. A-Niang is different from us, we are still young. ”

Bai Li and Bai Hua naturally agreed with her. "Erlang is right, you can't keep it from your mother. Besides, you can't be busy alone. ”

"So I'd like to ask a master to come and help." Bai Jiaojiao thought about it. "With our current flow of income, it is more than enough to hire two helpers, originally I wanted to wait for the silver owed to my godfather to pay off, but now it seems that the silver can continue to be owed first, but the helper is to be invited."

"But if you ask someone, you can't feel at ease after all......

"So I'm going to pick someone myself." It is impossible for their family to only do one shop, Bai Jiaojiao thought much further than this, if it was to keep the recipe of the meal and so on, there were many ways, and even if the hired helper leaked the recipe, she held the raw materials firmly in her hand.

On the second day, the proprietor was really happy, except for Bai Li cleaning up in the store, Bai Hua and Bai Jiaojiao went to talk about cooperation, and the other went to pick helpers.

"This is the largest gathering place of helpers in He'an County. It is usually here that the foreman waits for the foreman to pick people. Bai Jiaojiao looked at it, He'an County is surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on one side, and the waterways are also extremely developed.

As a county town that is not small, in fact, it is a transportation hub connecting water transportation in the middle, Bai Jiaojiao didn't understand it at first, but when she arrived at the wharf, she realized that this He'an County may not be the same as she imagined.

"Brother, are there many ships going to and from He'an County?"

"That's a lot, so many times a day."

"In this way, there should be a lot of trading commodities with Anxian County, why are we not rich?"

Bai Hua whispered to Bai Jiaojiao. "I heard that our waterway is a pipeline, you see those boats, they are official ships. The goods were transferred here and then all transported to the official ships. "Bai Hua has a wide range of contacts and a lot of news.

Official ships? Bai Jiaojiao's eyes lit up, this is it, so it is. He'an County has no big officials, and there is no county order for three years, although there is a waterway for official ships, but it has never been prosperous. On the surface, the forces that control it secretly may have already carved up He'an County and antagonized each other, so they can exist peacefully on the surface and conduct black market transactions without interfering with each other. Therefore, He'an County does not have those big Beijing officials on the surface, but in fact there is no shortage of rich people.

"Isn't that the young owner of Qingyun Tower?" Bai Hua looked sharply at the Yunxi passing by the dock.

Yunxi? This makes sense, as a businessman who is unprofitable and can't afford to be early, Yunxi's arrival in He'an County is not an accident, there is a black market under official control, which means that there are greater profits here, and can she also get a share of this profit?

But if you want to get a piece of the pie, you also have to have this strength, I don't know if those forces control the underground economic lifeline of He'an County, and the Yun family must be mixed in it, so what about those officials?

Bai Jiaojiao couldn't help frowning, she thought of someone, Qin Moshu. He'an County, which has not had a county order for three years, maintains the black market trade of his underground goods without interfering with each other, why is there a county order at this time, is it really because Qin Moshu came here because he was assigned to a small land on the border or is there another reason?

How many secrets are there in this remote He'an County, the official ship, the Yun family, and the black market...... is like a big net, shrouding He'an County in it, and the more Bai Jiaojiao thinks about it, the more he feels that he can't find a clue.
