Chapter Fifty-Nine: The White Peony of Gains and Losses
In the west side house, after lunch, several children got up too early in the morning, and they were tired and took a nap at the moment.
"Child, his father, where did our father say that these three acres of land were given to us?" Wu picked up the newly bought hoe behind the door and asked in a low voice.
"It's at the foot of Fushan." Shirakawa Kashiwa took off his complete clothes, changed into a torn clothes with a few patches, wrapped it around his body, and also carried a hoe.
"It's so far away, or I'll leave them a piece of paper so that the children won't worry." Wu glanced at the three little heads asleep on the bed lovingly.
"I can't write, you can write." Shirakawa Bai said with a smile.
Wu took out the set of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone that Bai Shao bought last time from the wooden box, left a sentence on the paper, and went to hug the ground with Bai Chuanbai carrying a hoe.
The so-called holding the ground is to loosen the soil on the ground where only wheat stubble remains, so as to facilitate the insertion of rice seedlings, and also increase the probability of survival of rice seedlings.
Now that the wheat has been harvested, many families are hugging the ground in preparation for the next planting of rice.
Bai Shao's snack stall can certainly make money, but the three acres of land can't be thrown away, although the two seasons a year only charge three or five taels of silver, but that is also money, simple farmers will not throw away the land.
Because they felt sorry for the children to get up early to sell tofu, Wu and Bai Chuanbai did not ask them to go to the ground, and there were only three acres of land left and right, and the two of them worked hard for two or three days before it was done.
When Bai Shao woke up, the sun was already in the west.
She lifted the sheets on her body, and a grunt got up from the bed, subconsciously looking for Wu's figure, "Mother, mother......"
After shouting a few times, no one answered, and there was no one around, she got out of bed in a little panic, didn't even wear shoes, and ran out in a panic.
Wu has always been by her side, whether before falling asleep or after waking up, she can always see Wu's kind and soft smile.
But now, gone, the man who gave her strength and gave her the courage to live in this foreign land is gone.
Even the older brothers and sisters who fell asleep together are gone.
"Niang ......" panicked, and Bai Shao was knocked down by the threshold and fell to the ground.
She didn't think about it, she lay on the ground, smelling the dirt on the tip of her nose, and suddenly she couldn't help but cry sadly.
Where did it go.
Is this a dream.
Did she wake up and Wu was gone?
If that's the case, she'd rather not wake up.
Bai Shao lay on the ground, I don't know how long she cried, she only remembered that her body was suddenly forcibly picked up, and then, Bai Wei's panicked and delicate face appeared in front of her.
"Shao'er, what's wrong with you, Shao'er, are you having a nightmare? Why are you crying on the ground? Bai Wei touched her forehead and touched her lips again, making sure that there was no fever, and then she was relieved.
"Sister......" Bai Wei's appearance made Bai Shao's panicked heart gradually settle down, she looked at Bai Wei blankly, and it took a long time to squeeze out a word from her throat.
"Hey, what's wrong with Shao'er?" Bai Wei looked at her like this, a little distressed, and a little emotional.
The previous Shao'er was too smart and powerful, and she was a little bit like her sister, but like her sister.
Now, such a fragile and confused little girl who can cry and cry makes Bai Wei feel a little real - this is her seven-year-old little sister, Bai Shao.
"No, it's okay...... Bai Shao gradually regained her voice, "Sister, why are you and my brother gone, where have you gone?" Don't you want me anymore? β
"Why, we're not...... The one in the hall house, how can I sell you? Don't worry, my father and mother are on the ground, I went out with your brother to cook for you, and I cried when I didn't see you for a while, it's really ......" Bai Wei said and couldn't help but laugh at Bai Shao.
Bai Shao didn't feel annoyed, but was extremely happy.
It's good that it's all real, not a dream.
When I woke up from sleep, the Wu family was here, Bai Chuanbai was there, Bai Wei was there, and Bai Yunshi was also there, which was good.
"Hurry up, my sister has baked you corn flour tortillas, it's delicious to eat while it's hot." As she spoke, Bai Wei put Bai Shao on the edge of the bed, put shoes on her, and stroked her hair, before turning around and leaving the West Wing.
Bai Shao jumped down from the edge of the bed and strode outside the west wing, where he saw Bai Yun really burning the fire, and Bai Wei was baking cornmeal cakes.
"Shao'er woke up." Bai Yunshi turned his head and gave her a silly smile.
Bai Shao couldn't help laughing, maybe it was the reason why she cried just now, as she burst into laughter, a big snot bubble appeared on the tip of her nose, which made Bai Wei and Bai Yunshi laugh.
Bai Shao hurriedly turned his head and found a handkerchief to wring his nose clean, so he dared to go out of the west house.
"My father and mother estimate that it will be almost dark before they can come back." Bai Wei took a plate, took the cornmeal out of the pot, handed it to Bai Shao for her to eat, looked at the sky again, and sighed, "It's too slow to hug the ground, such a big piece of land, you have to turn it over with a hoe, if it's too big, you have to mash it, and when you go home, our mother has to afford a few blood blisters in her hands." β
"Is this how every house hugs the ground?" Bai Shao munched on the corn tortillas and asked in a low voice, "Our family's three acres of land have to be held for several days, and people have hundreds of acres of land, what can we do in the future?" β
In fact, what Bai Shao wants to say is that if we have hundreds of acres of land in the future, how can we hold the land.
However, out of fear of scaring Bai Wei, Bai Shao still chose to say "people".
"People have a plow for a lot of land, the kind of plow pulled by the ox, we don't have it, it's too wasteful to use a plow for three acres of land, if there is more land in the future, maybe you can buy one and use it." Bai Wei said, and couldn't help but squint and laugh.
"Sister, what are you laughing at?" Bai Shao asked curiously.
Bai Yunshi, who had been silent, suddenly said, "I probably think that in the future, when she gets married, how many acres of land will she give as a dowry." β
Bai Shao made a sudden realization, you must know that the twins' ability to sense each other is very strong, and what Bai Yunshi said may not be true.
"What nonsense." Bai Wei's face turned red, but she didn't choose to dodge, but glared at her younger brothers and sisters viciously, "Besides, I won't give you corn tortillas to eat." β
Bai Yunshi glanced at her innocently, and slowly lowered his head, looking like he didn't know anything.
Bai Shao also hurriedly lowered his head and nibbled on the tortilla, pretending not to say anything.
Bai Wei glanced at the two younger siblings funny, lowered his head, and took the baked cornmeal out of the pot.
At this time, a breeze happened to blow, blowing the aroma of tortillas outside the gate of the Bai family.
"Ah......h β
Today, corn flour is not a rare thing, just because the local people have a variety of rice and wheat with high yields, and no one grows corn, so that the price of cornmeal is still higher than the price of white flour.
The so-called scarcity is expensive, which is probably the truth.
Especially in the Bai family, which often eats rice, cornmeal tortillas can be described as a relatively rare item.
Therefore, Bai Chuanlian, who walked into the door with a hoe, saw the cornmeal tortilla in Bai Wei's hand, and immediately happily put down the hoe, and rushed over, "Oops, oops, the third sister is so caring, I know that your second uncle and I are tired from work just now, so I prepared corn tortillas for the second uncle, thank you so much for the third sister." β
After speaking, as soon as he stretched out his hand, he was about to snatch the cornmeal tortilla in Bai Wei's hand.
He was tall and fast, and before Bai Wei could react, his hand was already about to touch the tortilla.
said that it was too late, and Bai Yunshi, who had been squatting next to him to make a pot, jumped up from the ground like a little leopard and hit it with his back in the direction of Bai Chuanlian.
This time, he had a lot of strength, and the angle was even more tricky, and because of his surprise, Bai Chuanlian couldn't dodge.
It's a pity that the size of the body is not comparable to Bai Chuanlian, and after colliding with each other, the two of them fell to the ground at the same time.
Bai Yunshi seemed to have been hit a little hard, and after a few breaths, he jumped up from the ground and did not speak.
However, Bai Chuanlian was lying on the ground, and he screamed "ouch, ouch, ouch".
"San Lang, San Lang, what are you doing, I'm your second uncle, you don't even pay attention to the second uncle, do you?" After a while, Bai Chuan regained his strength, but did not get up from the ground, but lay on the ground, staring at the cornmeal tortilla in Bai Wei's hand with his eyes.
"Second uncle? Hmph, I haven't seen the second uncle who wants to rob his niece to eat, you are so embarrassed, our children's family makes some food, and you actually rob it, do you want to have a face? Bai Wei looked at Bai Chuanlian menacingly.
If it weren't for Bai Yunshi's moment just now, Bai Chuan would have to snatch most of her plate of tortillas.
This is something she has worked so hard to make, so she doesn't want to give it to those people in the hall!
"What are you doing, I'm your second uncle, what's wrong with eating something from you." Bai Chuanlian listened to Bai Wei's words, his eyes widened, and he was lying on the ground and playing, "I don't care, I am not feeling well when San Lang hit me just now, if you don't give me a few corn tortillas, I won't get up." β
Bai Shao watched speechlessly from the sidelines, is this really something that an adult in his thirties can do?
"Don't be unreasonable, how hard Saburo can hit you, you just want to eat on tortillas." Bai Wei was not lightly angry, pointed at Bai Chuan and shouted, "I won't give you food, you can't fall in love." β
After speaking, he was about to enter the west side house with the tortillas.
Shirakawa looked at it and immediately became anxious, "You give me two tortillas, and I'll tell you what's going on in the field." β
"Everything in the field is your business, what does it have to do with us." Bai Wei was unmoved, and still strode towards the westward house.
Bai Chuan gritted his teeth and said loudly, "What if it has something to do with your father?" β
Bai Wei's pace was so abrupt, and he turned around and said sharply, "What?" What happened to my mom and dad? ⬬
