Chapter 68: Then do as you say
Then, he walked out with a bunch of things that needed to be used. As soon as I came out, the door closed again. Bai Jinli put aside the things she had brought out and began to think about a question.
It seemed like every time she saved someone, the door would open once. Could it be that the more people she saves and the higher the love value, the more the house will accept her?
If that's the case, then when she wants to enter the space next time after saving people, prepare a backpack or something in advance, make a list, and bring out all the things she needs.
After all, it's not easy to wait for the task bar to reach 100%, so it's better to improvise.
After figuring out this, Bai Jinli walked around the space a few times to eat, and waited until she was a little sleepy before going to sleep.
When she got up the next day, Bai Jinli went to school, and Bai Jasmine swept the floor at home, fed the pigs, washed clothes, and cleaned up the house.
Bai Meng and Bai Mo were sent to the mountains to pick mushrooms and fungus. That thing is so delicious, and it doesn't cost money, so I have to get some to eat back, and by the way, I also let them chop wood and hunt pigweed.
Everyone else also went to work in the fields, and Mrs. Li went around the house inside and out, and then went out to find Carpenter Tan.
She had to hurry and see how the table and cabinet for her girl were doing. With the sound of class at noon, Bai Jinli packed her things, turned around and prepared to go home.
As soon as she walked to the door, Er Fat ran over and called out to her.
"King Bai, wait, I have something to say to you."
"What's wrong, Erfat?" Bai Jinli looked at him.
"Yesterday, thanks to you, my mother and my sister were able to live, King Bai, thank you." After speaking, the second fat was about to kneel.
"Okay, don't kneel, others still think I'm bullying you." Bai Jinli grabbed him.
"Erfat, aren't you a man? Remember, men have gold under their knees. ”
"Well, I know, thank you so much. At that time, my mother said that if it weren't for you, she would not have survived, and our family not only owes you money for medical treatment, but also owes you a life. ”
"It's not so serious, it's just a convenient thing. What's the matter, Erfat, is it possible that you still plan to be my little brother and give me your life? As soon as Bai Jinli finished saying this joking, she saw Er Fat clasping his fists in front of her and bending down to salute.
"King Bai is above, please accept the little brother's worship. In the future, no matter how you go up the knife mountain or down to the sea of fire, my second fat will listen to you. This posture and tone made Bai Jinli slightly stunned.
"Hey, am I kidding? Why are you serious? ”
"King Bai, you dislike me?" The second fat stared at her.
"No, no, I just don't think it's necessary because ......"
"There is a need, White King, for you." The second fat handed over a piece of paper, and then ran away quickly without waiting for Bai Jinli to say anything.
Bai Jinli looked at the figure of Erpang running away, and then opened the paper. Then she was stunned.
Are these two fats serious? Just because she helped Tu Shi have an operation, Er Fat wrote such a deed of sale and sold herself to her as a younger brother?
Also signed, drawn? This ancient child is too easy to deceive, right? Obviously, when they first met, Er Fat still hated her so much and teased her.
In the blink of an eye, you recognize her as the boss? Aren't you afraid that her reputation will ruin him? That's it, I didn't expect that Er Fat is also a person who loves and hates clearly, she can do this step just by giving a little help, this character is really rare.
In this case, she will take Er Fat as her younger brother in the future. After not walking a few steps, Bai Mo ran over to pick her up from school.
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I've been waiting for you for a long time, I went to the mountains with my sister in the morning, and I came back a little late."
"It's okay, I can go home by myself, you don't have to come to pick me up in the future." Bai Jinli looked at his flushed little face and couldn't help but speak.
"No, no, I must come to pick up my sister-in-law, and I have to learn arithmetic from my sister-in-law."
"You kid, then I'll test you."
"Okay." The two of them talked and went back. The lunch at noon was cold fungus, coarse cakes, pickles, and Bai Jinli frowned after eating two bites.
"Mother, I don't want to eat this every day, can't we make a flower basket to make money, and we can also make money by collecting medicines? In the future, I will eat steamed buns made of white noodles, as well as noodles and dumplings and egg fried rice. "Eating these coarse cakes every day makes her throat hurt.
Didn't he have a lot of money in his house? Why not?
"Pears, you can eat them if you want, and we'll eat them tomorrow. But you can't eat good every day. Look at our situation. Every year, I work tirelessly in the fields, and I can't earn more than ten taels of silver all year round, and I have to pay grain, and I am afraid that if there is bad weather, there will be no income. Our family's situation is good, and we can still eat enough every day, you look at some people in the village, they don't have to eat, except for wild vegetables all day long. I heard that there are people in the next village who gnaw on tree bark and eat mud. Old Man Bai spoke.
I just got the news today that this year's taxes have risen again. Seeing that the weather is dry, the income of crops in the field is not as good as before, and the tax has increased, which can make the people live.
So today's old man Bai is particularly low.
"It's all so bitter. But, Dad, no matter what, people are iron and steel, and they have to eat. The imperial court has raised taxes, there is no way to do it, if you don't pay it, you have to pay it, and we can't wronged ourselves because of this matter. The eldest brother and the second brother have to work in the field every day, I still have to study, you and my mother are old, we can't eat bran every day, we now have a way to make money, so we naturally have to improve the food. Only when you eat well can you have the strength to work, anyway, I don't care, I have to eat well. Bai Jinli snorted, and at the same time couldn't help but reflect on herself.
Isn't it too indifferent to people's livelihood, after all, I've been in this place for so long, and I only know some things about my family.
"Pears, eat eggs. What your father said also makes sense, it's not easy for us to dig food in the field, so we can save more. If you want to eat well, eat it tomorrow, and I'll forget it with your father, and we'll get used to it anyway. "It's rare for Mrs. Li to speak like this.
"Mother, let's do it, in the future, the money you earn from selling medicinal herbs will be used to buy rice, white flour, oil and salt, and you can save all the money from the flower basket, what's the matter?" Bai Jinli asked tentatively.
"What a waste."
"Mother, I don't care if I don't care, if you don't agree, I will go on a hunger strike from today onwards, and I will never eat again." Bai Jinli pouted and spoke.
She has a lot of ways to make money, and she is fully capable of supporting her family. It's just that the current situation doesn't allow her to be too high-profile.
Mrs. Li agreed to her request that she could eat rice and white noodles in the future, but let the others continue as before.
How does this work? If she keeps eating alone, how can she be happy in her heart? Besides, the family except for her is thin and obviously malnourished, and they are obviously not short of money for the time being, so why should they abuse themselves so much.
"Alright then, Pear, since you say so, then do as you say." Mrs. Li finally chose to compromise.
Nothing compares to her daughter.
"Mother, you're so nice!" Bai Jinli was suddenly happy. The other people present were also extremely excited, and they couldn't wait to go over and praise Bai Jinli to the sky.
"Hmph, you've all heard it, and you can eat good things in the future, all of which are thanks to pears. If anyone dares to bully the pear and doesn't listen to the pear, the old lady will not let him go. Mrs. Li saw everyone's joy in her eyes, and couldn't help but snort coldly.
"Mother, look at what you said, the pear is so good, how dare we bully her?" Niu's.
"Yes, mother, my little sister is so smart and good-looking, it's too late for me to love her as an elder brother." Strange during the day.
"Mother, don't worry, I'll do whatever the pear wants." Zhang also hurriedly spoke.
"Grandma, we all listen to my sister-in-law."
"Hmph, that's pretty much it." Mrs. Li snorted.
"Mother, let's eat noodles at noon tomorrow, I want to eat oily noodles!"
"Okay." The others couldn't help but look forward to it, and when they nibbled on the cake, they also ate a different taste.
With this expectation, Qi was a little more energetic when he was working in the field in the afternoon. In the evening they were given bread of white flour, which was very well cooked.
Bite into the mouth, the inside is soft and the outside is crispy, and the sesame seeds are sprinkled on it, and when the pancake is made, Bai Jinli also told Niu to put two eggs.
So when they pinch this cake and eat it with pickles, it's called an excitement. The whole three cakes were all eaten by them.
At noon on the long-awaited day, Zhang and Niu were busy kneading and pulling noodles in the kitchen. When Bai Jinli came back from the school, she also went to the kitchen to watch, and specially told them to pull the noodles thinner.
When the first pot of noodles came out, only five bowls were served. Bai Jinli let Niushi heat a spoonful of oil, and then adjusted the noodles with salt and vinegar, and then put some dried chili peppers on top, and then waited for the oil to heat up and nourish it.
Finally, the fried wild vegetables and fungus are mixed in. The smell of the fragrance made everyone cry.
Mrs. Li couldn't sit still when she looked at such a luxurious meal. This is too wasteful of white noodles, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.
"Mother, try it!" Bai Jinli handed the first bowl of rice she had prepared with her own hands to Mrs. Li.
Then he served a bowl to Old Man Bai. They were all brought over, and naturally there was no reason not to eat, so the two of them endured the distress and began to eat noodles.
This meal, immediately full of satisfaction. In the end, the rice is made with white noodles, and so much is wasted, and the taste is really good.
It was the first time they had eaten such a delicious meal. There were still three bowls left, Bai Jinli ate one bowl by herself, and let Bai Yi and Bai Qi eat one bowl each.
As for the others, they are waiting for the second pot of noodles. The smell of cooking wafted to the next door, and the sister-in-law Lin next door was suddenly drooling.
"What's going on with this Bai family? Did you pick up the money or what? How do you eat so well? Sister-in-law Lin looked at the porridge on her table that could count the grains, and swallowed.
