Chapter 14: The First Stirring Fire

The next morning, Bai Shao was woken up by Bai Wei's shout.

She opened her eyes with some difficulty, and saw that Bai Wei was wearing a slightly heavy dress, wrapping her whole body tightly, and she couldn't help but be stunned.

And today the air has gradually warmed, although the night to cover a thin quilt, but during the day only need to wear a thin coat, if you wear such as Bai Wei is now, wait for the sun to come out, I am afraid that it will be hot and sweaty.

"Sister, are you going to ......" Bai Shao got up from the bed and looked at Bai Wei suspiciously.

"Get up, the milk wants us to cut some Lala seedlings and feed the pigs." Bai Wei carried a rattan basket in one hand and a sickle in the other, and said expressionlessly.

"Oh." Bai Shao put on her clothes a little ignorantly, and like Bai Wei, she covered herself tightly.

Pushing open the door of the west side house, I heard a crackling sound, and when I turned my head, it turned out to be Wu making breakfast.

"You guys, what are you going to do?" Wu called out to them, "It's time to eat soon, go back to the house and wait." ”

"Milk, let me and Shao'er cut some lara seedlings to feed the pigs." Bai Wei said loudly.

When Wu heard that it was Liu's order, he was immediately dumbfounded.

Seeing this, Bai Wei pulled Bai Shao and walked out.

"Hey, Wei'er, you really can't go by yourself, Shao'er, she only came back yesterday......" Wu looked back at the hall, and hurriedly walked over, stopping Bai Shao's steps, his eyes swept over her still a little red and swollen face, and said with some distress, "Shao'er, you only came back yesterday, and you still have a body injury, how can you go to work, stay at home well, and let your sister cut your share back." ”

The Wu family loves Bai Shao, and everyone can see it, so Bai Wei let go of Bai Shao's hand without care, and he was about to leave with a sickle and a rattan basket.

"Wait." Bai Shao opened her mouth to stop Bai Wei, then turned her head and looked at Wu Shi with a cowardly expression, "Mother, I'd better go with my sister, otherwise if my milk finds out, Shao'er will definitely be scolded." Don't worry, Shao'er doesn't hurt......"

After speaking, Bai Shao walked to Bai Wei's side with short legs, and firmly held Bai Wei's hand.

Bai Wei was a little stunned, and Wu was also stunned.

"Shao'er...... Wu's expression slowly changed, "It's useless...... It's useless......"

Before the words fell, the curtain of the door of the hall was lifted, and Liu walked out of it with his head held high, saw the crackling oil flowers in the cauldron, and immediately said loudly with dissatisfaction, "The third daughter-in-law, the third daughter-in-law, the oil is hot, let you stir-fry, where did you go, do you want to starve me." Do you hate me and want to starve me to death? ”

As soon as she opened her mouth, Wu felt sorry for Bai Shao, so she had to quickly return to the pot, put the cut vegetables in it, and stir-fry it with a spatula, while also taking care of the fire at the bottom of the pot.

Seeing this, Bai Wei felt very sorry for the Wu family, and had the heart to go over to help her make a fire, but before she raised her legs, she heard Liu saying loudly over there, "Third sister, fifth sister, don't hurry up and cut some Lala seedlings and come back, the pigs are starving to death." I tell you, if the pigs don't eat, don't eat either. ”

Bai Wei's footsteps stopped in place, and after a while, she pulled Bai Shao, silently said goodbye to the Liu family, and left the Bai family's house.

Lala seedlings are a kind of weeds that grow near Anyang County, and their vitality is very strong, and there are more in the mountains and fields, but the distance is too far, if you run to cut, I am afraid that you will not be able to come back for half a day.

So Bai Wei directly took Bai Shao to the back of the Bai family's house, where a dark green Lala seedling grew, although it was not too much, but it was enough to give the pig a meal.

"That's it, cut it quickly, be careful of hurting your hands." Bai Wei told Bai Shao a word, then bent down, brandished a sickle, and skillfully cut the Lala seedlings.

The white peony did the same, and it also followed the cutting.

After about five or six minutes, Bai Shao suddenly said slowly, "Sister, I'm a little tired, are you tired?" ”

"When you're tired, you rest." Bai Wei is not surprised that Bai Shao said this, because in her impression, Bai Shao is a little girl who can avoid work, and always thinks of ways not to work.

"Sister." Bai Shao didn't rest, but just slowed down, leaned next to Bai Wei, and asked in a low voice, "Sister, why didn't Sister Kou'er come?" and Sister Zhi'er and Sister Yingzi of the second uncle's family, why don't you come? ”

Bai Wei's mowing movement slowed down for a moment, "Bai Kojiao, she can coax people, our milk hurts her, so she hasn't done any work." As for Yingzi and Bai Zhi, they went to feed the chickens and ducks. ”

"Oh......" Bai Shao nodded suddenly in realization, and at the same time elongated her voice, "Milk hurts Sister Kou'er the most, so I don't let Sister Kou'er work, and Milk doesn't hurt Sister and Peony the most, so let Sister and Peony cut this sharp Lala seedling." ”

The reason why Lala Rice is called Lala Rice is because the weed's body has dense small thorns, and if the human body inadvertently rubs over it, it is very likely to cut a wound.

Even if you deliberately go to guard against Lala Seedling, you will be more or less hurt.

For example, now, Bai Wei has three or five slender wounds in his hands, which are not bleeding, but they are painful.

Compared with feeding chickens and ducks and cooking on fire, this work of mowing grass is obviously hated by the Bai family.

And now, the most annoying job is being done by the Bai Wei Bai Peony sisters.

What does this mean.

This shows that in Liu's heart, Bai Shao and Bai Wei have the lowest status and are the least worth mentioning.

In fact, Bai Wei has long known that the Liu family does not care for people in the third room. But if you know, no one has ever said it so bluntly.

Now, Bai Shao's words, like a blunt hammer, slammed into Bai Wei's heart, making her sigh and stop what she was doing.

After a long time, she whispered, "It's not just that the two of us are targeted, my father and mother are not liked by my milk, and I can't help ......."

"Then because my grandmother doesn't like my father and mother, will our family have to work more than others?" Bai Shao pouted, "It's the same son and daughter-in-law, it's the same grandchildren, don't you think it's a bit too much for milk to be treated differently?" ”

"Excessive?" Bai Wei muttered twice, "Actually, it's not too much, it's just to do more work, my mother said, our family is healthy and energetic, and it should be ...... to do more work."

This is really like what the virtuous Wu said.

"But sister, our mother has worked a lot, but she still doesn't please our mother, and our mother still looks down on our mother the most." Bai Shao said a little helplessly, "Isn't this thankless." ”

"Thankless?" Bai Wei's gaze was slightly condensed, as if he was seriously thinking about Bai Shao's words.

This made Bai Shao a little excited.

Did she really pry Bai Wei's heart and let Bai Wei begin to develop her nature?

Did the first fire she lit in the Bai family really burn?

After a while, Bai Wei seemed to think of something, turned her head to look at Bai Shao, and said seriously, "Mother said that there is a reason why my mother looks down on my mother...... Mother is at a loss, mother can't ......"

Bai Shao froze in place, and the excitement in his eyes didn't have time to retract, so he turned into helplessness and smiled bitterly.

Well, it's she who thinks of human thinking too simply.

Bai Wei has been taught by the Wu family and Bai Chuanbai with foolishness and filial piety for more than ten years, how can she expect her to wake up with her own words.

It seems that Bai Wei still has to see some things with his own eyes, and then experience some things with his own eyes before he can gradually awaken.

"Let's get to work." Seeing that Bai Shao didn't speak for a long time, and looked very depressed, Bai Wei ignored her, bent down, brandished a big sickle, and continued to cut the seedlings.

The two sisters worked together and spent nearly half an hour to cut all the nearby Lala seedlings.

Seeing that the two baskets were almost full, Bai Wei took Bai Shao back to Bai's house.

As soon as she entered the door, Bai Zhi was standing timidly at the door, carrying the chaff that had been mixed, looking forward to it.

"You're finally here." Seeing them, Bai Zhi said softly, "The third aunt has finished the meal, and the milk said, after feeding the pigs, the meal will be served." ”

"Here it is." Bai Wei nodded, strode to a broken table in the courtyard with a rattan basket, poured out all the lala seedlings, and went to the pot house (the ancient kitchen was called) to get a discarded kitchen knife, and cut these long lala seedlings into small pieces.

Bai Zhi carried the wooden barrel over, pulled the lala seedlings cut into small pieces into the bucket, and finally stirred them with a wooden stick, and then gave them to the pigs.

It was Bai Peony and Bai Wei sisters who cut the grass, and it was obviously Bai Zhi and Bai Ying who fed the pigs, so Bai Wei took Bai Shao, washed her hands and went into the house.

The hall, at the dinner table in the center, surrounded all the Bai family members except for a few little girls who went to work.

Old Man Bai and Liu, the eldest family of the Bai family, the fourth family of the Bai family, the third couple of the Bai family, and the second child of the Bai family, Bai Chuanlian and his wife, who Bai Shao has never seen, the second child of the Bai family, Bai Chuanlian and his wife.

"Ahem, the fifth sister is here." When the old man Bai saw the two sisters coming over, he cleared his throat first, and said, "I'm tired of cutting and pulling the seedlings, come and sit down, and we're going to eat." ”

The third granddaughter and the fifth granddaughter of the Bai family came in at the same time, but Old Man Bai ignored Bai Wei and only greeted Bai Shao!

This is obviously abnormal, which makes Bai Shao's eyes a little condensed, knowing the situation in front of him, I am afraid that it is for himself to see.

Sure enough, after she walked over and sat down beside the Wu family, the old man Bai slowly spoke, "Fifth sister, a few days ago, you were sold to ...... The culprit has been found in the matter of the pickled land. ”
