Chapter 52: The Heart of the Mid-Autumn Festival
Bai Ling's crisp voice sounded outside the ancestral hall, every word was not excessive, it was just a self-preservation word to avoid evil, but it clearly drew a line with the old mansion.
If it weren't for Bai Ling's last special mention, there would be a gift for Mrs. Bai's pension food in the future, and there would be no need for the people in the old house to go over to pick it up, and the three rooms would be sent to the door in due time, and many people would think that this was a document for breaking off relatives.
After finishing speaking, a layer of fine sweat was covered on Bai Ling's forehead, and Bai Wei hurriedly helped her sit back.
Because Bai Ling's foot was injured, everyone didn't think there was anything wrong with Bai Ling sitting down, but felt that Sanfang had to rely on such a thin little girl to support him, which was really embarrassing for Bai Ling.
Many people envy Bai Sanshu for giving birth to a good daughter, which is more important than his son.
When the patriarch and the others heard the end, they couldn't help but nod, feeling that Bai Ling's request was not too much, Sanfang was just afraid of this kind of day when people were killed at every turn, and they still kept the basic filial piety.
"Bai Ling, can you see what Uncle wrote?" The village chief copied it in triplicate and showed it to Bai Ling.
"Uncle the village chief has been admitted to the Tongsheng Examination, where could he write it wrong." Bai Ling took it with a smile, handed it to the village chief after reading it, and thanked him sincerely: "Bai Ling thanked the village chief for the whole family, you have worked hard." ”
The village chief smiled and said that it was not polite, so he asked Bai Ershu to sign it, and asked the people in the old house to press their handprints.
There is no need to give a copy of this confession and guarantee to the old house, so Bai Sanshu, the village chief, and the clan each keep one.
The matter on the ancestral hall side came to an end, and the villagers were all dispersed, only Mrs. Bai was left behind to kneel.
As for Bai Qi and Bai Mei, because they had to take care of the injured Bai Ershu, they waited until they came with Bai Ershu to be punished.
After returning home, Bai Ling went back to the house and slept directly when he was tired, the fever was so serious, and he didn't have time to go to the space to take a bath with spiritual spring water, Bai Ling's body was a little unbearable.
With the physical condition of the original owner, if it weren't for Bai Ling's spiritual spring water to regulate, I am afraid that he would not be able to survive at all.
At noon, Bai Wei asked Bai Ling to get up for lunch and handed the two documents to Bai Ling.
"What's this for?" Bai Ling asked puzzled.
"It's more reassuring for the second sister to collect it, I haven't found the silver you hidden, and the people in the province have made up their minds." Bai Wei pouted.
Understanding Bai Wei's scruples, Bai Ling nodded and said, "It's okay, this is in our house, and only the people in the old house will have scruples, otherwise we still won't have a good life." ”
"Hmm." Bai Wei nodded heavily.
"Don't be sad, our family's good days are ahead." Pinching Bai Wei's face, Bai Ling said easily.
A few days later, the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming, and Bai Ling had been staying at home to recuperate because of his injury.
But before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Qian Fu and Steward Chen, as well as Shopkeeper Shen, all sent people to send a festival gift, and the three rooms that were not prepared were embarrassed.
However, it is not too late to go back when Bai Ling's foot injury is healed, after all, those are all the connections she gets along with.
However, the landlord also asked people to send things over, so that the three rooms as a whole were enlightened, and they had to use the gifts given by others to give a return gift.
These are all generous masters, and there is no need to buy things for the three-room festival, and the family has a reunion festival for the first time, and the atmosphere is very harmonious.
Although Sanfang lives far away, there are some people's land near Sanfang, and when they see that there is always a carriage coming to Sanfang to give gifts, they can't help but be envious, and it soon spread in the village.
"Mother, wear the silver hairpin I got back for you? I'm not working today, so let's see. As a wounded, Bai Ling encouraged Bai Liu to dress up.
In fact, Bai Ling's injury is almost healed, but the family feels sorry for her, and Bai Ling is happy to be lazy for a few days.
"What to wear, what if you lose it." The White Willow clan said embarrassedly.
Since marrying Bai Sanshu, Bai Liu doesn't know how to dress up, and it's rare to have time to comb his hair neatly.
"Mother, look at my father, sneak a look over here, you can make a fool of yourself." Bai Wei also coaxed.
Because of Bai Xing's matter, not only did he not have to go to the old house during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but he didn't even send the festival gifts, and Sanfang seemed to have completely forgotten that there was such a relative, but no one chewed his tongue behind his back.
Bai Sanshu scratched the back of his head, grinning and smirking, and the old face of the Bai Liu clan turned red when he saw it, and he was pushed into the house by Bai Wei.
Bai Ling, who was sitting in the courtyard admiring the moon, listened to the happy laughter of the family, and the corners of his mouth were slowly raised, but there were faint tears flashing in his eyes.
'Grandpa, I have a family again. Although poor, the family loves each other, and the granddaughter feels very happy, have you seen it in the spirit of heaven? In addition to you, my granddaughter has someone to love again! Bai Ling looked at the moon and said silently in his heart.
As soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival is over, it is time to harvest corn.
Bai Ling's family only had one acre of land, and it only took half a day for the family to take back all the bud rice sticks.
The matter of harvesting corn stalks was done by Bai Sanshu and the Bai Ling sisters, and another day's work was also received in the backyard.
As for the old house, Bai Dashu's family has never interfered in farming, and Bai Ershu's family has never worked.
But Bai Ershu has been resigned now, and he is recuperating from his injuries, Bai Qi and Bai Mei were beaten and scolded by Mrs. Bai and went to the field, seeing that the food was ruined and confiscated much, but they didn't dare to come to Bai Sanshu's family to work at this time.
In the end, the old house could only spend money to hire people for the autumn harvest, because the old house had a bad character, and the price was higher than that of the landlord's family, so some people went to work.
But these have nothing to do with Sanfang, even Bai Sanshu is silent, and others will not pay attention.
With the passing of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather is getting colder and colder day by day, Bai Sanshu has put everything in place, so he goes to chop firewood every day, afraid that his wife and children will suffer in winter.
When Bai Wei went to dig herbs, she would also pick up a bundle of branches and go home.
After Bai Ling's feet were completely healed, he continued to sell fish, and by the way, he bought all the winter items such as autumn vegetables home.
In fact, in addition to the vat, there are ready-made ones in Bai Ling's space, so there is no need to bother.
The family has a large population, and it takes two or three days to pickle autumn vegetables and pickles.
"Second girl, you said that you want to grow vegetables in the house, but I look at it. But I can't live this winter planting wheat, right? Bai Sanshu, who was blanching cabbage, frowned and said: "It's getting colder and colder now, and it won't be long before it freezes, so the seedlings won't freeze to death?" ”
"I just thought that there are not many seeds in an acre of land, and if it becomes our family, we will harvest more, and if it is not successful, there will be no big loss. And we don't have much work in our family, and if we're idle, we're idle, so it's nothing to try. Bai Ling said while washing the cabbage.
"I agree with the second sister's words." Bai Wei kept listening, looked up and asked, "Second sister, have you thought about keeping the wheat seedlings warm?" It's so hot in the house, but there's no outside. ”
"I also remembered this stubble when I watched my father put a straw curtain on the roof. Cover the ground before freezing, and wait for the spring to open it again, it's too tossy Dad. "Bai Ling had heard of this method before, but he hadn't tried it himself, and he didn't know if he could do it.
