As soon as Li Yuhuan entered the courtyard, he asked in a loud voice: "What is cooking in the kitchen?" How can I smell gardenia and eggs? ”

Bai Mengdie leaned out of the kitchen and said to them, "I'm making gardenia scrambled eggs." ”

Tian Chunfang and Concubine both said with novelty: "Gardenia can still scrambled eggs?" It's the first time I've heard of it, so I'll want to try it later! ”

Bai Mengdie retracted into the kitchen and stir-fried the gardenia scrambled eggs in the pot a few times, poked her head out again, and asked, "Mom, second aunt, why did you come back so late?" ”

Tian Chunfang smiled and said: "It's not that I want to sell more and make more money, when others do this business in the future, this money will not be easy to make." ”

"And what's going on today?" Bai Mengdie asked.

"It's okay, the cloth is almost sold." Li Yuhuan said.

Bai Mengdie retracted back into the kitchen and continued to cook, and asked the old lady who helped make the fire: "Grandma, Dad hasn't come back so late, won't he come back this Dragon Boat Festival?" ”

The old lady added firewood to the stove: "Your father asked Boss Qian to send a letter saying that their factory is going to reform or something, there are a lot of things, and I am afraid that this Dragon Boat Festival will not come back." ”

Bai Mengdie raised her eyebrows, she always felt that Bai Aiguo was not telling the truth, even if the factory was to be reformed, it would not be a holiday during the Dragon Boat Festival.

The old lady was convinced of Bai Aiguo's words, and said with hope: "I hope that after the reform, your father's factory can come back to life." ”

She was really afraid that her eldest son would be laid off, and the life of the big house would be sad.

Dinner was ready, and all the people who were working in the fields had returned, and it was time for dinner.

The two families sat around the dining table and had a great time eating together.

Li Yuhuan bore the brunt of the scrambled eggs with gardenias: "Let me taste what this dish tastes like?" ”

Everyone else smiled and stretched their chopsticks to the gardenia scrambled eggs, all wanting to try it.

Gardenia scrambled eggs in the mouth, both floral and egg fragrant, fragrant and delicious, everyone accepted it at once, and said, I didn't expect gardenia to be so delicious!

Bai Mengdie also sandwiched some gardenia scrambled eggs and sent them into her mouth, the gardenia clears heat and detoxifies, and it is just right to go to the fire when it is hot.

She suddenly remembered something and asked Tian Chunfang: "Mom, you gave the capers to the fat aunt in the fat sister-in-law's snack bar on Monday, is the fat aunt still satisfied with our capers?" ”

"Why are you not satisfied, they tasted it on the spot and accepted it, and asked me to send another sixty catties, and I sent another sixty catties with your second aunt the next day."

Bai Mengdie smiled and said, "It's quite smooth." ”

"What's going on?" Li Yuhuan said indignantly, "I was almost cut off by the Yuanyuan family next door!" ”

Bai Mengdie was stunned: "They robbed us of our business? How did they rob it? ”

"Not really!" Although several days had passed since that incident, Li Yuhuan was still very angry.

"The pair of sluts of Yuanyuan's mother and daughter rushed to deliver capers to the fat sister-in-law's snack bar before us, and the proprietress didn't want it, saying that she had told you that she would only accept our capers, not other people's.

But the pair of sluts didn't give up, and actually told the proprietress that they were sent by you to deliver capers, but fortunately we arrived in time and exposed the lies of the mother and daughter, otherwise they would have robbed the business. ”

Li Yuhuan's words refreshed Bai Mengdie's understanding of the shamelessness of Yuanyuan's mother and daughter.

She ate a few bites of food and asked, "The fat aunt wants sixty catties of capers, can our family take them out?" ”

Tian Chunfang said: "It's because I can't take it out, so I took all the capers from your grandmother's house."

As a result, the proprietress tasted it and said that your grandmother's capers were better than the ones we sent first, and after the roll call, she asked for your grandmother's capers, and no one wanted your grandmother's capers. ”

The old lady didn't care: "It doesn't matter which capers he wants, the money hasn't been earned by outsiders." ”

Bai Mengdie wondered, she already thought the old lady's capers were delicious, how delicious her grandmother's capers were, and a comparison would make the fat aunt dislike the old lady's sour beans!

When you have the chance, you must try my grandmother's capers.

Shi Lei still remembered Bai Mengdie's check on the manuscript fee, and asked: "Have you checked the manuscript fee?" ”

"Checked." Bai Mengdie's face was deterred, "There are five thousand yuan in total!" ”

The old man was overjoyed when he heard it: "Our family has a literary star, and he can actually write!" ”

Others also praised Bai Mengdie, praising her so much that their faces turned red.

After eating, the old lady took out the mung bean cakes and sesame cakes that Bai Mengdie bought and gave them to Tian Chunfang.

Li Yuhuan said happily, "I was about to tell the two brothers that they would go to give his grandmother and uncle a gift tomorrow and don't forget to buy mung bean cake and sesame cake, but Coincidentally, Fluttershy bought it for us, saving money on mung bean cake and sesame cake." ”

Then he smiled and said thank you to Bai Mengdie.

Bai Mengdie smiled and said: "The second aunt is too polite, the second uncle and the second aunt are elders, I should have bought a festival gift for you, and besides, your family always helped our family farm, I didn't even say thank you, shouldn't I buy two catties of snacks for the second uncle and second aunt." ”

Li Yuhuan smiled and said, "Look at how sweet our little mouth is, how painful it is!" ”

Tian Chunfang said to Bai Mengdie: "Tomorrow, my mother and your second aunt will go to Hanzheng Street to sell cloth in the county seat, and I don't have time to go to your grandmother, you and your brother will go to give your grandmother and uncle a festival gift." ”

Bai Mengdie hurriedly shook her head: "I'm going to the city tomorrow to help the seniors in the third year of high school buy study materials, everyone has given me money, I can't go, I can't go to my grandmother and uncle." ”

The old lady complained: "Why are you so honest-eyed, you go to the city to help people buy study materials during the holidays, can't they go themselves?" ”

Bai Mengdie took the cleanly washed tomatoes handed over by Shi Lei: "The Dragon Boat Festival in the third year of high school also has to make up classes, and the seniors don't have time to go."

Besides, I didn't buy study materials for them for free, I only agreed to make money, grandma don't think I'm a fool. ”

The old lady asked, "How much money can you make?" ”

Bai Mengdie estimated: "There are a total of 200 people's learning materials in the entire third year of high school, and you can earn at least 200." ”

Shi Lei suddenly said: "Grandpa, I took the first place in the whole grade in the mock exam yesterday, and I took ten points more than last time." ”

The old man smiled: "Okay, good! You can't be proud, you have to work hard! ”

Shi Lei continued: "I have taken two mock exams this week, and my results are better and better every time!" ”

The old man looked at him a little inexplicably, not knowing why he had to emphasize that his grades were getting better and better.

He's not a show-off kid.

Shi Lei paused and said, "Tomorrow Fluttershy will go to the city to batch study materials, two hundred copies are very heavy, and the small disc can't be handled, I'll go with Fluttershy and help her get the goods, grandpa, do you think it's okay?" ”

Only then did the old man realize that the purpose of what he said earlier was to prove that even if he didn't study on weekends, it wouldn't affect his grades.

The old man smiled and said, "You've said everything about this, can I not agree?" ”

Shi Lei turned his head and smiled triumphantly at Bai Mengdie.

Tian Chunfang asked: "Don't you make up for the Dragon Boat Festival in the third year of high school?" ”

Shi Lei shook his head: "I won't make it up, but after the Dragon Boat Festival, I will have to study in the evening." ”

Tian Chunfang nodded and went to the kitchen to boil bath water.

Bai Mengdie said to Shi Lei: "I heard from the senior sister of the third year of high school that the set of English materials they asked me to buy is the material that their teacher asked them to buy, saying that the English question type of this year's college entrance examination paper is similar to the English question type of that set of English materials, and I will buy you a copy by the way when I buy English materials for my senior sister tomorrow." ”

Shi Lei was a little embarrassed: "I'll pay the money myself." ”

As an older brother, he didn't buy anything for his sister, and he always felt uncomfortable letting his sister spend money for him.

Bai Mengdie looked at all his expressions, and said empathetically: "No need, you will be my flat burden tomorrow anyway, I will send you English materials to pay your salary." ”

Shi Lei smiled and replied, turned around and went into the room to study.

Li Yuhuan and others snickered, how could there be such a cheap porter!

However, one of their brothers and sisters is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, and no one says anything, everyone wishes that his brother and sister have a good relationship.

Bai Mengdie also went back to her room to do her homework.

As soon as I finished my math and physics homework, I heard a noise of people outside the hospital.

Bai Mengdie put down the pen and went out to watch the excitement and relax.

It turned out that Yao Cuihua's pig ran away, attracting people from the village to help her family catch pigs.

Except for the old lady and Bai Mengdie's brother and sister, everyone in the Bai family joined the army of catching pigs.

Bai Mengdie thought to herself, when the neighbors are in trouble, lend a hand, which the countrymen do much better than the people in the city.

She had always lived in a metropolis in her previous life, and when she encountered this situation, the neighbors in the city would walk away indifferently so that they would not help catch pigs.

Yao Cuihua's family is not very popular in the village, but when something happens to her family, the villagers are willing to help her, and it can only be said that the villagers are still simple.

Bai Mengdie wondered, "Okay, why did the pig run away?" ”

The old lady looked at the crowd running away in the night and said, "Who told Yao Cuihua to raise a few children so lazy, it is just a matter of not helping the family to do farm work after school, not even helping to cook, and not feeding the pigs."

Yao Cuihua and his wife had been working in the fields until eight o'clock before coming back, and the pig was so hungry that he couldn't stand it anymore and ran away from the fence. ”

Bai Mengdie thought to herself, Yao Cuihua is self-inflicted, there is nothing to sympathize with, turned around and went back to the room to continue to do homework.

The old man and the others came back after more than an hour, and the old lady hurriedly asked, "Did you catch the pig?" ”

The old man tore off the towel and wiped the hot sweat on his head, and shook his head: "The black light is blind, who knows where that pig went." ”

The old lady was very distressed: "It's a pity that such a big pig was lost." ”

The old man also sighed, but they had tried their best, and no one could recover the loss.

The county middle school likes to engage in question sea tactics, even if Bai Mengdie is only in her second year of high school, there is a lot of homework on weekends.

Bai Mengdie didn't work until almost eleven o'clock in the middle of the night before she finally finished all her homework.

Shi Lei poured the bath water for her, Bai Mengdie closed the door and took a comfortable bath, and heard Bai Wei's voice ringing in a panic in the yard: "Grandpa, grandma, my pig has been found!" ”

Then the old lady's reproachful voice sounded: "It's a good thing to find it, what are you so panicked about?" ”

Bai Wei said with a cry: "But the pig was found in the pond and has drowned." My dad told me to call my grandfather to help get the pigs back. ”

Bai Aimin said angrily: "Your father who is blind in the dark light asked your grandfather to help your family go into the water to catch pigs, aren't you afraid that your grandfather will have an accident?" ”

Angry, he still took his two sons to follow Bai Wei to the pond to fish for pigs, and the yard soon returned to quiet.

After sleeping until seven o'clock the next day, Bai Mengdie walked out of the room and saw that the sky was a little gloomy.

Shi Lei got up early, and had been sitting in the courtyard reading English, and when he saw her getting up, he urged her to hurry up and wash and comb her hair, eat breakfast and go to the city to buy materials, go early and return early, and have a holiday today.

Bai Mengdie washed and combed her hair, changed her skirt and came out, Shi Lei had already set up breakfast, rice with a few green vegetables and a scrambled egg with green peppers.

Bai Mengdie picked up chopsticks to eat and asked, "Mom and second aunt have already gone out?" ”

"Well, I'll go out at a little after six." Shi Lei replied.

Bai Mengdie looked out of the hall worriedly: "I don't know if it will rain today, if my mother and second aunt take the goods, but it rains, it will be bad." ”

"It's okay, my mother and second aunt brought plastic sheeting when they went out, in case it really rains, wrap the cloth head with plastic sheeting so that it won't get wet in the rain, and then sell it when the weather is clear."

Shi Lei pointed to the scrambled eggs with green peppers with chopsticks: "Don't just eat vegetables, eat some eggs." ”

Bai Mengdie put some eggs in the bowl and asked Shi Lei to eat them too.

After the brother and sister finished breakfast, the dark clouds of the somewhat gloomy sky just now dispersed, and the early morning sun shone on the earth.

The brother and sister stood in the courtyard looking up at the sky, discussing whether to bring an umbrella or not, and the old lady came back with a bundle of grass on her back.

said to the two of them: "Why haven't you gone out yet, go early and return early, and the family will have a reunion dinner for the Dragon Boat Festival at noon!" ”

Bai Mengdie shook her head and said, "We won't be able to come back at noon." ”

"If you can't come back at noon, you can eat it at two o'clock in the afternoon, and you can always rush back at this point." The old lady unloaded the grass on her back with the help of Shi Lei and said.

Bai Mengdie nodded: "I can come back in time." ”

Then he pointed to the sky: "Grandma, should we bring umbrellas?" ”

The old lady looked up at the sky for a while and said, "It shouldn't rain in this weather, so you don't need to bring an umbrella." ”

Shi Lei then took the sack, the flat shoulder and went out with Bai Mengdie.

Bai Mengdie walked to the gate of the courtyard, and the old lady suddenly remembered something and stopped her: "No one came to buy gardenias during the Dragon Boat Festival today, you picked our gardenias and took them to the city to sell. ”

Bai Mengdie said hello, took an empty basket and went out with Shi Lei, and saw Yuanyuan coming back from washing vegetables in the pond.

The brother and sister didn't even look at her, and talked and laughed to themselves.

Yuan Yuan looked at her brother and sister quietly, and asked Bai Mengdie with a smile as if nothing happened, "Fluttershy, where are you and your brother going?" ”

Bai Mengdie said coldly: "How can we tell you where we are going?" What if you are robbing our sour bean business? ”

Yuanyuan's face was flushed, and he slipped into his yard.

Bai Mengdie rolled her eyes in her heart, she had never seen such shamelessness before.

digging into the corners of other people's walls, and being embarrassed to talk to others, if it was her, she would definitely take a detour with a weak heart.

When passing by their old house, Bai Mengdie's brothers and sisters saw Bai Ai's husband and wife putting raw pork dissected in half on the back seat of the bicycle.

The three Bai Wei sisters and brothers hid in the house and watched their parents busy, but no one dared to come forward to help.
