Chapter 24: Busy

"Erchang? Isn't it in the back? Bai Da raised his head, his eyes were puzzled, and he looked around to find that the person was gone, "Hey, why are the others gone?" ”

Daddy Bai let out a long sigh and shook his head, his eyes full of disappointment, "If you are doing your work, you won't see it, Erchang is getting lazier and lazier." I see, he's going to look for those idle bastards who don't do their jobs! Forget it, leave him alone. I'm old, and I can't take care of it, alasβ€”"

"Daddy, Erchang ...... He's just a little fun, go back and tell me about him! The father of the two children is sensible. Bai Da has always been filial, and he couldn't see Daddy Bai's disappointed sigh, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to comfort, he couldn't think of anything to say, and he was anxious as he spoke.

"Erchang, if he dares to do this again, I will... I'll teach him a lesson! ”

Daddy Bai sighed again, "Okay, let's get to work." With one less person, we have to move faster. ”

Bai Da nodded, didn't say more, wiped his sweat casually with his sleeve, lowered his head and then waved his hoe to weed and dig a pit.

At the east end of the village, a small stream flowing down from the mountain passes through Taohua Village and flows into the Taohua River.

At this time, the willow branches on the bank have already grown young leaves, and the branches are gently swayed with the breeze, and some of the branches hang down to the stream, and flutter with the washing of the stream.

As the sun rises and the temperature rises, it becomes a good place to rest, and a few people are sitting casually under the trees and chatting.

Bai Er is one of them.

He sat cross-legged on the ground, with a dog's tail in his mouth, one hand on the ground, and the other unconsciously plucking the grass stalks, listening to their gossip absentmindedly.

The small-eyed man, with a lewd face, approached the others, lowered his voice and said, "Hey, do you know Ah Qiu in the village?" I'll tell you, last time I ...... Hey hey ......"

At this point he stopped abruptly, a lewd smile on his face.

Several other people approached, ready to listen to his gossip, tickled by his words, and couldn't wait to know the content of his words.

"Ah Qiu, I know, isn't the new daughter-in-law of the Tao widow's family in the east of the village? What's wrong with her? Say it quickly! The other urged and shoved him.

Seeing that several people were very supportive, Xiaoyan's vanity was satisfied, and he continued, "I passed by their house a few days ago, and saw her just finished washing her clothes and walked back with a basin of clothes. Tsk, don't you know, her sleeves are up, and the arm she exposes is white and tender! ”

"Cut, who hasn't seen the arm! I want to go to the well to wash my clothes, so that you can see enough! Several people looked disappointed, very disgusted with the trickery of small eyes.

"Hey, I'm not done yet! She accidentally fell while walking, and the clothes on her body were messed up, and when she got up, the collar was open, and the inside was exposed, and I just happened to see it there. Hey, hey, hey, those guys, white and tender......"

"Hey, hey, hey, you kid is lucky, why didn't you ask me to meet such a good thing......" Several people were excited when they heard this, and they expressed their envy.

Bai Er was not interested in this, his eyes looked far away, and he unconsciously remembered the thing he heard in Layue last year......

In the cold winter of Layue, Bai Er went out to chat with friends as usual that day, and several people nested behind a haystack, talking about the gossip they had heard.

That time was also this little eye, mysteriously talking about a family in nearby Wangjia Village.

The family had two sons, and the eldest son had three children, and several of them ate a lot and worked less, and their parents were always partial to them. The youngest son worked more and ate less, and the family's money was used by the eldest to marry his relatives, and because he had no money, he dragged on until he was twenty years old and did not marry.

Finally, last year, I fell in love with a girl and wanted to ask to marry, but his father and mother couldn't get the money, and when I asked him, I found out that the money he earned from his work was subsidized to his eldest son. At this time, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, so he made a fuss with the elders of the clan and succeeded in getting home.

The rules here are "parents are here, no family", if any son wants to split the family, it will be regarded as unfilial, and living together in a big family is the habit of most people, and ordinary people dare not say it even if they have this idea.

After the little eyes finished speaking, he said with some envy that the other party was lucky, and he was happy when he broke up.

I don't know how the man fared after the separation.

Seeing that Bai Er was alone next to him, Xiao Yan didn't react, so he couldn't help but poke him with his elbow, "Bai Er, what about your mother-in-law?" Why don't you speak? ”

Bai Er came back to his senses, didn't think about it, and asked directly: "What happened to the kid in Wangjia Village who you said last time?" ”

"What Wangjia Village...... Oh, you say that boy! The little eye thought for a while, and suddenly slapped his thigh, "That kid is shrewd, and he still hides half of his salary." After the family was separated, I immediately asked the matchmaker to marry, and after spring ploughing, I became a family! Tell me, is he shrewd, this money was given by the owner of the Chinese New Year, even if his eldest brother's family doesn't believe it, there is no way! Hahahaha, when he marries, I want to see how handsome his daughter-in-law is, and I have to marry him back when he is obsessed......"

Bai Er didn't pay attention to the next words, and when he heard that the person who was separated was living better, the idea in his heart seemed to sprout, and the word "separation" left a mark in his heart.

The sun was setting in the west, and the day's work was over, Bai Er got up, patted the grass clippings on his body, and walked towards the Bai family.

Daddy Bai and Da Bai also finished today's work, one carrying a hoe, the other carrying a wooden barrel, and planning to go home.

"Wow-Auntie, don't fight! Woo-woo-"

As soon as Bai Mingxuan entered the house, he heard a cry. When I got closer, it turned out that Tao was whipping his son with a thin bamboo pole, and the cry was made by Bai Mingxin.

Tao grabbed Bai Mingxin's arm fiercely with one hand, and held a thin bamboo stick in the other hand, waved it high, and fell quickly, and the bamboo stick made a "whirring" sound in the air. As soon as the bamboo stick fell, Bai Mingxin wailed loudly, several dark red whip marks on his hands were shocking, his face was mixed with snot and tears, and his voice began to be a little hoarse from crying.

Bai Mingxuan frowned in distress, and hurriedly rushed over to stop him, covering Bai Mingxin behind him as much as possible, "Auntie, don't fight, if you have anything to say, Mingxin's throat is hoarse." ”

"Get out of the way, what does it matter to you if I beat my son?" She pulled Bai Mingxin hard, her eyes were full of anger, and she tried to push Bai Mingxuan away.

"Auntie, Bai Mingxin is still young, how can he stand beating him like this!" Bai Mingxuan didn't let go, and tried hard to persuade, "When grandparents come back, I won't be happy to see it." ”

Hearing this, Tao began to calm down, slowly let go of his hand, and let go of Bai Mingxin, "I won't kill you next time I see you like this!" A loser, you know how to eat every day! I don't know how to work! ”

At this time, the white lady happened to step into the door, and she was shocked and angry when she saw this, "What's the matter?!" ”
