The ox cart went back to Chenjia Village directly, Aunt Bai politely refused the kindness of Mrs. Bai to let the Bai family live temporarily. What's more, borrowing two taels of silver has already made my mother's brother and sister-in-law dislike, how can I still have the face to stay in the Bai family?

Therefore, Aunt Bai went back to take advantage of the fact that spring had not yet begun, and in addition to taking care of the children every day, she had been taking care of the aquatic students carefully, for fear that an oversight would cause a lifetime of regret.

There was such an accident in the year, and the Bai family was not even interested in the usual New Year's greeting activities, but just went through a hasty process, except for the two daughters-in-law who returned to their parents' homes, they only came to worship the village chief of Peach Blossom Village and Tao Erye and other similar families.

The money was lent out, and Chen Shuisheng's leg was slowly healing, but the atmosphere of the Bai family gradually changed.

Two taels of silver is not a small amount, for the farming of farmers who make a living, some of them can't save more than two taels of silver all year round, the conditions of the Bai family are okay in Taohua Village, not rich but at least passable, but these two taels of silver are lent out, and the life of the family is probably going to change greatly.

The family is worried about making money and saving money, and the most intuitive impact is on the food.

Bai Mingxuan stared at the bowl of multigrain porridge in front of her, feeling slightly bitter in her heart. Originally, the food at home can only barely mix a food and clothing, and now it is difficult to guarantee even the barely food and clothing, each child only has a bowl of multigrain porridge for breakfast, the sweet potatoes are gone, and the multigrain porridge is also much thinner, and a bowl of stomach is afraid that it will be digested in less than an hour.

Even the adults in the family, breakfast is just a bowl of multigrain porridge and a small sweet potato. Dinner was similarly reduced.

But there is no way, the family has no money and no bottom, just after the New Year, spring ploughing has not yet begun, it is the time when the green and yellow are not connected, of course, to save a little.

Fortunately, it has just finished the New Year, and it is not yet time to be busy with farming, so there is no need to do manual work, just endure it when you are hungry.

Sighing, Bai Mingxuan picked up the bowl, drank it in small sips, and then chewed carefully and swallowed it slowly - it is said that chewing slowly is conducive to increasing satiety.

The face was calm, but in his heart he secretly decided that after the beginning of spring, he must go to the mountains to find food and improve the food for the family.

After the meal, Wang was busy in the kitchen, and when Bai Lao Niang passed by, she saw that she was alone in the kitchen, and asked casually: "Why are you alone?" What about Ah Chun? ”

Wang was holding the washed dishes and chopsticks, carefully putting them into the cupboard one by one, and turned his head and replied, "I don't know, she went out just after eating." ”

I just ran out after breakfast, so I didn't do any work at home today. Although she was not diligent before, she still pretended to be like a person and didn't do what she should do, but now she is getting more and more lazy, and she actually dumps all the housework on her sister-in-law.

The white lady frowned, becoming more and more dissatisfied in her heart, but she didn't say anything, but planned to wait for her to come back and say a few words about her. There are more people in the family and more things, and if there is one less person to work, she will be too busy, but she can't be lazy.

Near dinner, Tao came back, as soon as she entered the door, she was blocked by Bai Lao Niang, staring at her and saying, "I haven't seen anyone for a day, where have you been?" I don't do any work at home, it's all pushed on your sister-in-law, and now that it's dinner, do you know that you'll come back? If you don't make it clear to your mother today, don't want to enter the house! ”

Bai Mingxuan happened to be at the door of the house, and happened to hear this clearly.

Tao Shi was a little panicked at first, then immediately calmed down, his eyes flashed, and he replied with a smile: "Ah Niang, I went to my mother's house here." No, the family borrowed two taels of silver to go out, and the children couldn't eat enough, so I thought about going back and asking my father for them to borrow some, who knew that my mother's family was also difficult, and there was no more than half of it. Alas, I had to come back like this. ”

At the end, he frowned, and his tone became deeper and lower, as if he was really sad.

Bai Lao Niang sneered, knowing in her heart that she was lying. The door-picking model in the Tao family, will borrow grain? What's more, I can see clearly that she didn't come back from the direction of her mother's house at all!

But Bai Lao Niang also knew that it was not interesting to entangle this kind of thing, so she only said lightly: "I won't stop you when you go to your mother's house, and I don't care if you go out to chat, but you can't be lazy and don't work, and you won't come back next time." ”

Tao was annoyed that he was unlucky this time, and he was caught red-handed by Bai Lao Niang, but he sneered on his face: "I know Ah Niang, this time I was too anxious to go out and forgot it, and it will not be like this next time." ”

The white lady nodded, "um", and let her into the house.

As soon as Tao turned around, his face sank, and when he saw Bai Mingxuan walking out from behind the door, he glanced at her with a gloomy face.

Bai Mingxuan was deeply puzzled when he saw it, he didn't mean to listen to these words there, this temper was really strange, besides, he was afraid of being said, so he should be ready to be found and trained. She shook her head and walked out.

......

Farmhouses have few idle months. Soon, Peach Blossom Village will enter the time of farming.

Soon after the year, a light snow fell in Peach Blossom Village, covering the ground with a thin white veil. After that, the climate began to warm up slowly.

As soon as he got out of the New Year, Bai Mingcheng resumed school, and his family really didn't have enough four taels of silver, as long as he brought it over, he paid three taels first, and agreed to pay back the remaining one or two taels of silver as soon as possible, so that his studies were not delayed.

owed a bundle, Bai Mingcheng had nothing on his face, but when Bai Mingxuan was learning to read and write with him, he noticed that he was very dissatisfied in his heart, and he always kept a calm face at every turn, and the little patience he had left became less. While sighing secretly in her heart, it also strengthened her determination to start her "career".

At the same time, Bai Mingxuan also began to learn medical skills with Dr. Wang. After studying for a while, she has now learned almost the common medicinal materials in her life, and it is estimated that it will not be long before she will have to rely on medical skills to learn, fortunately, she has also recognized the common words almost the same, it is really not good, and she can also pretend that she has learned from Bai Mingcheng.

The plan of the year lies in the spring. For the spring ploughing in the near future, the Bai family is now busy.

All the grain and seeds saved by the family in the previous year were collected and the bad ones were removed, and the good ones were left behind, ready to be sown when the time came.

Rice, wheat, beans, peanuts...... In the past few days, the Bai family's yard has been full of these seeds.

In addition, the overwintering wheat planted last autumn should also be taken care of to avoid insect infestations. The family is short of money, and this batch of wheat is particularly important, and Daddy Bai runs to the field every day with a hoe to inspect it, lest something go wrong.

On this day, it was the day of rice sowing, Bai Daddy and Bai Dabai Er were in the field, two hoes, one sowing, and they were in full swing.

After a while, Daddy Bai stopped to wipe his sweat with a sweat towel, turned his head to look, but saw that there was one person missing.

In this small field, only he and Bai Da were left at this time, and Bai Er disappeared.

Father Bai looked around, but he didn't see any other figure, so he couldn't help frowning, and turned back to ask Bai Dadao: "Dachang, where did Erchang go?" ”
