Bai Mingcheng walked in with his feet raised, looked left and right, his eyes swept over Bai Minglan, and without screaming, he walked directly to the side of the bed and looked at Bai Mingxuan twice.

"Little sister, you have finally woken up, be careful when you go out to play in the future, don't get hurt again. You have a good rest. After saying that, he nodded, turned around and left.

disrespectful to the elders, turning a blind eye to his sister, and treating his injured sister with an indifferent attitude, this is the eldest grandson who makes the Bai family proud, the hope of the Bai family, the Bai family's filial piety and etiquette Bai Mingcheng?

It is not easy for a rural person to have a scholar, let alone a scholar in an environment of lack of food and clothing in the ancient countryside.

Bai Mingxuan originally had some expectations for this farmer who was like herself, but now she couldn't help but be disappointed when she saw it, and even wondered if there was something wrong with her memory.

After going out, his voice came from outside: "Daddy and Auntie, I'll go to study first." After that, Bai Mingxuan didn't talk to him for several days.

Not long after, the loud shout of the white lady came from outside: "It's time to eat!" Time to eat! It's all out for dinner! ”

Eating is always a pleasure, especially if you've been hungry for most of the day.

Immediately, the whole family appeared at the dinner table, and even Bai Mingwei and Bai Mingxin, who were out to play, came to the dining hall early, sat obediently, and waited for the meal to start.

The sun has not yet set, and the orange-red glow of the setting sun shines in, creating a lively atmosphere.

In the not very spacious hall, there are a few old New Year's paintings pasted on the wall, the color has fallen off, and it has been covered with dust, and the details of the paintings cannot be seen clearly, and it can only be seen that it is a picture of Najib to exorcise evil spirits.

In the middle is two Eight Immortal Tables, one of which is soaked in oil stains and darkened, the desktop is full of ravines, uneven, and the legs have a few new colors, which are obviously spliced together, and the other Eight Immortals Table is relatively new in color, and the color of the wood can be seen, although there are some traces, it is not difficult to see that it is a "new" table that has not been used for a few years.

The floor of the house is flattened, and in the corner near the wall are a few common farm tools such as flat sieves.

In the entire hall, there is nothing else, which can also show the poverty of the Bai family.

The Bai family's dinner is very simple, with sweet potatoes as the staple food, with multigrain porridge and some vegetables, the amount is too much, but there is no oil meat at all.

Food is limited, so there is a strict limit on how much each person can eat.

Only adult strong laborers can eat a large sweet potato, a bowl of multigrain porridge. The women are a big sweet potato and half a bowl of multigrain porridge, and the children are a small sweet potato and half a bowl of multigrain porridge. The only exception for the whole family is Bai Mingcheng, who can eat two bowls of multigrain porridge.

Thanks to sweet potatoes, he can barely eat enough, but eating sweet potatoes all year round is easy to get flatulent, so sweet potatoes are regarded as cheap, so Bai Mingcheng, as the only scholar in the Bai family, can eat two bowls of multigrain porridge.

At this time, on the table, two large open bowls filled with freshly steamed sweet potatoes, steaming slightly. Two plates of vegetables, one plate is stir-fried radish and one plate is fried cucumber, the portion is not very small, but the oil is less, which makes people not very appetizing.

The Bai family eats with small coarse porcelain bowls, one for each person, and they are all placed on the table with chopsticks.

There were only four benches, the others were small benches, and a dozen people sat around the table. There were two people on a stool, Bai Minglan and Bai Mingcheng sat on the bench with the adults, Bai Mingxuan learned that the children on the bench were holding bowls in one hand and chopsticks in the other, waiting for Bai Lao Niang to share the meal.

The white lady was on the side, holding a pot in one hand and a big wooden spoon in the other, first scooping the bowl on the table with multigrain porridge, according to the rules, one bowl per person.

Then each of the children scooped half a bowl, and after scooping, there was only one bowl left for Bai Mingcheng, and nothing else.

Then there is the red potatoes, after they are all divided, when Daddy Bai picks up the chopsticks and starts eating, everyone begins to bow their heads and eat their dinner.

In the morning, I ate a bowl of gruel and an egg, and after a whole day, Bai Mingxuan was already hungry, and now when she got the food, she didn't care if it was delicious or not, she lowered her head and began to gobble it up.

The multigrain porridge is really miscellaneous, Bai Mingxuan ate soybeans, peas, brown rice and corn from it, and some grains that he didn't recognize, in order to save firewood, the heat was not enough, some were cooked softly, and some were still very hard, but they were cooked.

The variety of sweet potatoes is very ordinary, peeling the sweet potatoes, the inside is a yellow sweet potato heart, which smells very good, but it is not too sweet to eat. But Bai Mingxuan, who was hungry, didn't dislike it, and still ate deliciously.

The Bai family has no rule of not saying anything, and when they eat about the same, everyone talks.

Daddy Bai talked about farming: "Ahem, Dachang, tomorrow the land on the other side of the mountain will be cleaned up, and two acres will be taken out to plant wheat." ”

Bai Da's real name is Bai Dachang, but others generally call Bai Da, so he is distinguished from Bai Erchang.

Bai Er frowned when he heard this, worried that he wouldn't be able to have enough vegetables to eat like last year, and immediately asked, "Why don't you grow cabbage?" Last year, we planted cabbage at home. ”

Daddy Bai took a mouthful of multigrain porridge and explained: "Growing wheat is better than growing cabbage, it can be eaten as food, and you can use one acre of land to grow vegetables!" ”

Bai Da listened, smiled innocently, nodded and said, "Okay, then plant wheat." ”

Bai Lao Niang looked around for a week, and when she saw Bai Mingxuan, who was not in good spirits sitting on the side, her eyes suddenly showed a distressed look.

"Xuanxuan, the day before yesterday, you fell from such a high place, and you lay on the bed for two days before you could get off the ground, are you feeling better today?"

Bai Mingxuan looked at her concerned gaze and nodded unconsciously: "It's better." ”

"It's not a trivial matter to be in a coma for so long, you don't have to go out to do things these days, there are Minghui things at home, you just have a good rest at home. Grandma boils an egg every day to replenish your body. ”

Looking at the loving old lady Bai like her grandmother, Bai Mingxuan's nose was sour, and her eyes were filled with tears.

I was about to say yes, but someone interjected.

"Auntie, our family believes that when we grow our bodies, we should also eat eggs to replenish our bodies." This shrewd woman is none other than Aunt Tao.

The daughter-in-law that the Bai family married to Bai Er was the Tao family in Peach Blossom Village, and the reason why she married the Tao family was because she didn't want to find a weak daughter-in-law like the Wang family, and secondly, she wanted to deepen the connection between the Bai family and Peach Blossom Village.

Tao's maiden family is the Tao family who lives in Taohua Village, with deep roots in Ye Da. Therefore, Bai Lao Niang always has more tolerance for her, and Tao also relied on this reason to be domineering in the Bai family.

Bai Lao Niang may rely on her for ordinary trivial things, but the eggs at home are counted, and they are kept for money, and now giving Bai Mingxuan one a day is already an exception, so naturally she can't agree to her casually.

"Mingxin is not sick or sick, what eggs to eat!" The white lady didn't look at her, so she rejected her with a cold face.

"Hey! See! You're a male doll, it's time to grow your body, but your grandma would rather give you eggs than your money-losing sister who won't allow you to eat them! My poor Mingxin, it's worthless! ”

Dow pulled over Mingxin, who was nibbling on sweet potatoes, closed his eyes and shouted.

Everyone put down their bowls.

Although Bai Mingxin was a five-year-old child, he was only surprised for a while at this time, and immediately recovered his expression and continued to nibble on sweet potatoes, which showed that it was not the first time he had encountered such a thing.

Bai Mingxuan was dumbfounded, and only felt that her understanding of this little aunt had deepened again.

Dow continued to shout, "Mother! Which family has good things that don't give to their grandchildren, but give money-losing goods? What kind of reason is this? ”

When Bai Da heard this, his brows furrowed, and he wanted to speak but didn't know how to speak.

As a mother-in-law, Wang was angry and sad when she heard this, and saw that the tears were about to fall again, but she just said with a crying voice: "Xuanxuan is not a money-losing ......"

"What are you talking about losing money! I'll tear your mouth if you say that again! ”

"Bang!" The white lady knocked the chopsticks hard, pointed at Tao, and scolded loudly, "If you don't want to eat, you can get out of the old lady!" ”

Dow paused, moved his mouth, and wanted to speak.

At this time, Bai Er spoke: "Okay, listen to A-Niang, eat your meal, and say a few words." ”

Tao was not angry on his face, he saw Bai Laoniang's face, pouted, and immediately shut up to eat, but he held a grudge against Bai Mingxuan in his heart.
