Chapter 62: The Scholar in White
The family talked enthusiastically, and even had the leisure to tell some hearsay.
Boss Bai instructed Ah Yuan very seriously: "Daughter-in-law, you are not familiar with our village, don't enter the village casually, when I came back from driving the ox cart, I heard that there was a scholar in white, who couldn't get out of the village, and he was almost beaten as a thief!" β
In front of Ah Yuan's eyes, the thin white shadow that fled in a hurry swayed, and it seemed that there was a little strange familiarity, but I really couldn't remember where I had seen it.
"Maybe it's really a thief, I think I saw him running around our house!" Ah Yuan said casually, not paying attention to the second and third elders of the Bai family looking at each other in unison.
"No! In the future, if you want to keep someone at home, you have to add a dog, we don't rely on the village here, we don't rely on the store later, and there is no help at all if we are thieves. "Boss Bai is really worried about his safety.
In the end, it is not the era of poverty and whiteness in the past, the door is not closed, and you can sleep with peace of mind, now, there are dozens of dollars of silver spent in vain, and the copper coins have to be worn with a rope for a hundred and ten strings!
If the whole family goes out as a group like in the past, it's really worrying, and all the belongings are going to sell noodles? That's even less safe! Thieves in the bazaar can be more common.
"Daughter-in-law, you will guard the door at home in the future, and you won't open the door when outsiders come, I will buy a dog tomorrow to be your companion, hehe, you don't need to be vague about your burning stick, whoever comes will beat whom!" Boss Bai is now much more at ease with his daughter-in-law, his aunt's embarrassed appearance will definitely not be caused by self-harm, and his subordinates are accurate and stumbling, and there is no big deal, but any joint has to hurt for a few days!
Bai Lao's slender eyes narrowed, and he secretly stabbed Bai Laosan with his elbow, and Bai Laosan, who had been completely subdued by the second brother. I had to clear my throat and speak: "That-Cai Lian is also at home with her sister-in-law, right?" If my sister-in-law is left alone, she will also be - not worried, right? β
Are you worried about the safety of your sister-in-law and family property, or are you worried about something else? Do you want to leave a little spy to observe?
Boss Bai is a rough nerve, but it doesn't mean that these two boys who are close to adulthood are simple-minded, the first day when the sister-in-law married into the family, but it was a lot of trouble, according to rumors, there is also a "childhood sweetheart" scholar neighbor, who has sworn by the mountains and the sea.
Speaking of conscience, this sister-in-law is not bad. The two "human elves" brother want to help the stupid big brother keep this sister-in-law, so naturally they can't give people a chance to make a "elopement" joke! A scholar in white? I heard that "childhood sweetheart" is that virtue!
Ah Yuan didn't know that these two younger brothers, who she had high hopes for, were still wary of her words and deeds. I still feel hot for the words of the third child.
"That's okay, just let Cailian stay at home, it's cold, girl, can't help freezing. Let Arwen follow me to set up a stall. Boss Bai also felt that he was sloppy, the young daughter-in-law was at home by herself, and there was really a thief who was extremely vicious, and there was no one to help call for help.
Ah Yuan pondered for a long time and put forward a new suggestion: "If you brothers really want to continue to dry the noodle stall, then think about renting a storefront." You don't have to push things back and forth, and you don't have to freeze your body, and more importantly. Our family's most wealthy Gashi also has to have a place to put it aside, right? β
You only need to be diligent to set up a stall, and everything will be fine if you pay a few more taxes, but how much does it cost to rent a storefront? Send the money out to pay the rent. It doesn't have to be more profitable than setting up a stall, is it?
The first to shake his head against it was the "Shoucheng faction" Boss Bai, with a painful face: "Daughter-in-law." We are not afraid of the cold, we keep an iron stove, there is no problem in winter, our family has added an ox cart, and we have to transport stones back and forth every day, and there is nothing-".
I just earned a few dozen taels of silver, and I haven't covered it yet, and I am planning to fence off the land, and I have to buy a few acres of good land to feel at ease.
Ah Yuan looked around, and basically said the same thing as Boss Bai, the rent at the front of the town, how many taels of silver does it have to be? I gave it to others for nothing, so how can I do it? At most, we have to endure it, and it turns out that we have to endure the winter.
The only bosom friend, Bai Lao Er, smiled.
"Then wait a few more days, meet a suitable faΓ§ade, but also inquire about the situation, now the top priority is to sell Ga stone lamp, the lamp sells more, our Ga stone is sold more, maybe do a few more big deals, not only can rent a storefront, our family can also buy a storefront, don't worry!"
Yes, don't worry, there will be bread, there will be potatoes, good days are ahead, you can't hope to walk into the beautiful house all at once, you have to take your time-
Who can say that the process of hard struggle is not also part of a happy life?
After experiencing a "war" with my aunt's family, the family hugged more tightly, and a united and cooperative team must be invincible and invincible.
"Then let's do this, first make a list of the Bai family's major events, and list the things that must be done first and second, and the money in your hand can be the most important first." Ah Yuan grabbed the charcoal, and the roll of rough-edged paper that Boss Bai bought back was prepared for these "cultural people" at home.
"There are still twenty days until the end of the month, and next month, the first thing to do is to send Arwen to the school." Ah Yuan said solemnly this time, and his eyebrows and eyes were irrefutable.
"Sister-in-law, I-", Xiao Awen was embarrassed again, he was one of the men in the family, and he should follow his brothers to work hard for the family, how could he be idle, and spend the family's "huge money" to go to school?
"This matter is decided, in the future, the third brother will teach everyone to learn a few words at night, don't stop, the name of the second brother has been written very well in the past two days, continue to work hard, if our Bai family wants to go to the next level and not be bullied, then we must first improve our cultural level, and after that, you will be able to understand the benefits." Ah Yuan is categorical, as the daughter-in-law of the family, sometimes, you have to show some courage!
Bai Laosan, who was praised, was also as shy as a child, but secretly stabbed Bai Laosan again, this time it means, buddy, you have to teach a little more!
"Buying land, this is also a must!" Boss Bai slapped another piece, and again, let everyone discuss it anymore.
"Fence the wasteland and connect our house, hehe, it feels bright when you think about it-", Bai Lao Er proposed.
This cost is a bit big, but Bai Laosan still feels that it is not enough, and continues to add: "Turn over our house, build a few more rooms, one room per person, and sleep with rolls!" β
"Haha-", the big ones laughed.
Although it is a bit big, this is the common wish of everyone, and it is arranged on the rough-edged paper.
Ah Wen has been studying for a long time, and he doesn't dare to mention anything else.
What about Xiao Cailian? The girl, who was trying to get closer to the "female man", glanced at her sister-in-law crampedly, and said it clearly: "I want to learn to comb my hair, embroider, and make clothes."
She looked nervously into everyone's eyes, fortunately, none of the brothers laughed at her, Ah Wen jumped high happily, put her head into Cailian's arms and called: "That sister is responsible for combing my hair every morning, so I don't need to spend money to lend you to practice." β
Everyone laughed again, and they were all kind.
The little girl is ingenious, isn't it easy to learn this? Ah Yuan clapped his hands: "Write it down, and buy a shop for Cailian in the future, specializing in clothes and headdresses!" β
There are also miscellaneous things such as buying dogs, buying noodles and touching the faΓ§ade, so you can do it easily, and you don't even need to remember it.
I forgot about the new living creature in the house, the big scalper!
This is a precious thing, and the harvesters count on it to produce labor, and when it is fed, it must be eaten three times a day, just like a man.
Feed is also divided into concentrate and roughage, concentrate should be based on protein feed such as soybean cake, rapeseed cake, cotton meal, peanut meal, etc., roughage can be used as hay and silage.
"We can buy some fine materials in the market, and we have to stock up on hay at home, pick lotus and your sister-in-law work harder, prepare more forage for the winter, and when the next day is complete, then we will all go to the field to gather grass." Boss Bai's tone today is more like that of the boss, and it is almost a command-like arrangement.
Everyone nodded frequently, and the respect made Bai Chengguang's heart infinitely ironed.
The general relied on marching to fight and charge into battle to break into fame, and Boss Bai led the brothers to smash the rice bowl to establish his majesty.
As usual, after cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, everyone still has to prepare tomorrow's materials, Bai Laosan was vacated to teach Arwen, and from time to time, he memorized the "Three Character Classic".
Ah Yuan then remembered the wormwood he had brought, and dragged the white boss to mutter, of course, as soon as he heard that this was to pour out mugwort to treat his daughter-in-law for "stomach pain", he was immediately full of pride: "Give it all to me, there is no wooden hammer, let's use a stick, there is still a stone mill in the yard, wait for me to dig it out and wash it, and smash it in the trough inside!" β
The man was swept into the yard with long legs after a gust of wind, Ah Yuan pursed his lips and snickered, pretending not to see the inquiring eyes of his younger brothers and sisters.
Soon, the sound of "tom tom-" sounded in the darkness, and the stupid man worked hard with the help of the glimmer of light in the stove!
Xiao Awen was curious, ran out to check it, and didn't understand: "Sister-in-law, what are you doing with wormwood?" It's not the Dragon Boat Festival, and there are no mosquitoes anymore, what else do you want to pound it for? β
A woman with a smile blinked her eyes and put her index finger on her lips: "Shhββ, it's a secret!" β
After digging a hawthorn, Bai Lao Er followed in the fun: "Awen, when have you ever seen our sister-in-law working hard in vain?" Wait, maybe it's another way to make a fortune, you kid is the bundle of the school, just point to the pile of wormwood! β
The little guy stuck out his tongue, peeked at his sister-in-law's expression, and was pulled back by Bai Laosan: "Recite it again!" β
"Sister-in-law, what kind of fake flowers did you make? Teach me again! Cai Lian's face was red, and although she was entangled for a long time, she spoke fluently.
