Chapter 174: The drunk Shirakawa Ren starts to make trouble
In this era, there is no overtime, as long as the festival is over, every household must close the door, relatives should go to relatives, and a family reunion should be reunited.
Like Bai Shao's family, because they were separated, they naturally had to go back to visit Old Man Bai and Liu.
Considering that his family had some money, and the Bai family was living in poverty, Bai Chuanbai asked the Wu family to prepare some more things, until the tail of the entire mule cart was piled up, and then he drove the mule cart a little rusty and returned to Shilipu in a mighty way.
Because it was his own mule cart, he didn't need to stop at the head of the village, so Bai Chuanbai directly drove the mule cart directly to the side of Bai's house, stopped the mule cart, and the family of five picked up the festival salute with half a cart and entered the Bai family.
After the old man Bai, who had been waiting at the door of the hall for a long time, saw Bai Laosan's family, he sat up from the stool with some excitement, strode up to Bai Chuanbai, took his hand, and sighed repeatedly, "Okay, good boy...... Good boy......"
Because Bai Chuanbai helped buy Bai Chuanqiang's batch of lotus root regardless of his previous suspicions, Old Man Bai thought that this third son had a future, and he was still knowledgeable, and he was willing to help his brother, and he had rare good qualities, so he also appreciated him from the bottom of his heart, "Good boy, you just come back, why do you still buy so many things, it's good to come back, it's good to come back." β
"I didn't buy anything, I just prepared something commonly used for my father." Bai Chuanbai scratched his head, and said with a somewhat embarrassed smile, "These are the thoughts of me and the child's mother, as well as the children's mind, not a big father." β
"Hey, good boy......" Old Man Bai burst into tears with excitement, "It's rare that you have money, don't forget your family, come, I'll let your mother cook a table of meals today, I'll wait for you now, just put things outside." β
After speaking, he took Bai Chuanbai's hand very affectionately and walked away.
Because he had never been treated like this by Old Man Bai before, for a while, Bai Chuanbai was a little at a loss.
Bai Shao and Bai Wei glanced at each other, both of them pouted, did not speak, and followed Bai Chuanbai into the hall together.
It was close to noon at this moment, and it was the time when every family was about to have lunch, so as soon as Bai Shao's family entered, they saw everyone in the Bai family sitting around the small square table and turning their heads to look at them.
"Yo, the big family is here." Liu sat in one of the two positions facing the hall, looked at Bai Chuanbai, who was pulled in by the old man Bai, and said a little sourly, "How can a rich family like you come to a shabby small family like us, don't you think you are condescending?" β
As soon as these words came out, Bai Chuanbai's face was stagnant, and Bai Wei's expression gradually became angry.
Old Man Bai hurriedly scolded Liu, "Okay, don't say it, the children brought so many things to see you, it's a big holiday, and you still want to say this kind of thing, what do you want to do." β
Because he was afraid that the Liu family would lose his temper and make trouble and destroy this rare family gathering, the old man Bai didn't dare to say too much about it, and deliberately mentioned it to the Liu family later-the third family brought a lot of things.
Liu's eyes lit up almost instantly, he stood up from the stool, his gaze swept over Bai Chuanbai and Wu's hands, and frowned, "What, what did you bring?" Just those two packets? And so many things? When I was blind. β
Old Man Bai hurriedly said, "It's all chickens and fish, you have always hated dirty, so I asked the third daughter-in-law to put things outside, why do you still say that, the third family has given you a lot of gifts, and even the cloth has two horses, don't you want to make new clothes, isn't this there." β
"Oh, that's right." Liu's expression softened, but his tone was still a little mean, "What are you doing with my cloth, I still have to pay someone to do it, don't you have an embroidery village, just make me two clothes, embroider some beautiful lines, how good." β
Bai Shao's family, except for Bai Wei's indifferent face, the other four all maintained an embarrassed but polite smile and did not respond to Liu's words.
"Okay, you, big holiday, don't say a word." Old Man Bai coughed twice beside him, and stared at Liu hintly, "The children are busy on weekdays, and it is not easy to get together. β
Seeing this, Liu pursed his lips disdainfully, but he finally gave Old Man Bai a face, sat back in his original position, and did not speak.
Old Man Bai hurriedly arranged for Bai Laosan's family, although it was still very crowded, but he finally found a place to sit down.
"It's rare...... It's rare that our family can still get together......" Old Man Bai seemed to be in high spirits today, and he actually asked Liu to find him some wine, "Old woman, I remember that there was still a jar of wine in the room containing groceries in the West Side House before, you bring it to me, I am happy today, and I want to drink some with my children and grandchildren." β
Liu Shi glanced at him and said unceremoniously, "The house has been cleaned up for the children to live in, and if you still want wine, you must have thrown it away a long time ago." β
Because Mr. Bai usually doesn't smoke or drink, so the amount of wine at home is not much, that is, he usually entertains guests and stays for a while, but now when I hear that it was thrown away, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the wine shop will definitely not open, for a while, Mr. Bai is a little embarrassed.
Seeing this, Bai Shao rolled his eyes and said crisply, "Master, my father gave you ten catties of burning knife wine, I heard that it is produced in the best wine shop in Xieyang County, do you drink it?" I'll move you in. β
"Hey, good boy...... old man Bai smiled happily, "Okay, move it over for me, my lord is happy today, it's rare that everyone is here, let's drink a little." β
"Hey, okay." Bai Shao responded sweetly, and then took Bai Yunshi's hand and went out.
Ten catties of burning knife wine is not heavy, but the weight of the jar should not be underestimated, so Bai Shao cleverly asked Bai Yunshi for help.
Bai Yunshi, who had already practiced all his strength during this time, just bent over, and easily brought in a jar of wine and put it on the long table next to him.
Bai Shao skillfully opened the seal of the wine jar, took a small wooden scoop to scoop wine, took a small jar out, and sent it to the old man Bai, "Master, give you wine, taste the fragrance, this is what my father specially went to buy." β
"Incense, incense, nothing can compare to your father's heart, fragrant......" Old man Bai was happy in his heart, picked up the white bowl next to him, and poured a bowl for his sons, "The children are growing taller, so they won't drink, come and let's go together, speaking of which, we haven't drunk together for a long time." β
"Dad, I'm still recuperating from my injuries, so let's not leave." Bai Chuanqiong, who was sitting next to Liu, suppressed the emotions in his eyes, and said coquettishly to Old Man Bai with a light smile.
ββ¦β¦ Alas, okay, okay, okay, if you don't want to drink, forget it, the eldest and the second and third, and our four drink one. Old Man Bai was a little sorry, but when he thought that the fourth son was indeed recuperating from his injuries, he didn't force anything, raised the white bowl, and walked with the three sons.
"It's a good wine." Bai Chuanqiang had seen the world outside, so he tasted the authenticity of this wine in one sip, "It's delicious, third child, I'm afraid this wine is not cheap, at least one or two silver pounds." β
One tael of silver and one catty, this jar of wine costs at least ten taels of silver.
is really a rich man, he was so generous as soon as he made a move, and for a while, everyone's eyes of the Bai family fell on Bai Chuanbai.
"Actually, it's nothing, I just want to give this wine a good one, bring a little to my father, and taste it." Shirakawa Kashiwa smiled a little embarrassedly.
"Speaking of which, it's still our father's blessing." Seeing this, Bai Chuanqiang laughed, raised the porcelain bowl, and walked with Bai Chuanbai.
Although the things he did are still there and will never be erased, but at this moment, under the efforts of Old Man Bai, he finally has a bit of a brotherly taste.
A group of people gathered around, eating vegetables and drinking.
Although I know that peace cannot last forever, at least this moment is friendly.
UntilββThe second child of the Bai family drank the fifth bowl of wine in one go, blushing and burping, stood up from the square table, and said with a smile, "The third one...... The third child, you are now rich, two shops, our eldest brother has been doing business for so many years, and he has always lost the family, and the money earned is pitiful, which is like you, as soon as you go out to do it, you will succeed, and the food is so popular...... A few hundred taels of silver for a month...... You said, if you had known that you had the ability to make money, how good it would be for you to do business, why did you let him go, how much money did you waste in the family...... How much is it? A better user experience.
