Chapter 408: Controlled
When it was dark, Xu Wenlan finally saw Bai Yinglu.
Before people entered the house, they first smelled the smell of dry smoke, which was so thick that they choked their noses, and the smell was as strong as the cigarette gun that Old Man Bai had been doing for decades.
When Bai Yinglu entered the house, Xu Wenlan knew that it was the smell of Bai Yinglu's body, just like Old Man Bai, the current Bai Yinglu has been pinching a dry tobacco pouch on his body, and he smokes wherever he goes.
After only three years of smoking, he has already had a mouthful of yellow teeth, and it is most obvious when he smiles.
Seeing his nephew and niece, Bai Yinglu was also happy, and when he opened his mouth, he asked what he had eaten, did he have meat? Hearing that Wang said that he had bought roast chicken, and stewed red and white meat, he nodded with satisfaction, and asked again after hesitation: "The two children are older, why don't you buy some wine for them to drink?" ”
Wang immediately frowned, stared at Bai Yinglu and said, "It's not that you are addicted to alcohol again, are you?" ”
"Where?" Bai Yinglu hurriedly shook his hand, his eyes fell on the severed little finger, his eyes darkened a little, and he hurriedly put down his hand again: "I really saw the children coming - don't worry, even if I buy wine, I won't drink it." ”
Wang glanced at him, thought for a while, and then said, "Or, Cao'er, go buy some rice wine?" I've heard that it came in from the south, and it's not intoxicating at all. ”
Where can Bai Shengwen let Bai Cao'er go to buy wine, and hurriedly stopped: "Second aunt, don't be busy anymore, wine, our brothers don't like to drink, you see Shengwu, he loves meat the most, your big bowl of braised pork is enough for him to satisfy his hunger." ”
was said to be greedy by the eldest brother, Bai Shengwu was not annoyed, in fact, their family has been doing well over the years, where do they need to deliberately satisfy their hunger? He eats well every day, even if he learns martial arts in Fucheng, he has never lost his mouth.
However, Bai Shengwu has been pleasing in front of his elders since he was a child, so he will naturally immediately follow Bai Shengwen's words and smile: "My brother is right, the second aunt cooks deliciously, we won't talk to you, the second uncle is back, let's go to the table quickly!" I smell it. ”
As soon as he said this, the Wang family also became happy, and nodded with a smile: "But what you said, you have to eat the dishes cleanly, and there is no leftover, and the rest is that you don't like to eat the food cooked by the second aunt." ”
Xu Wenlan smiled and hurriedly followed Bai Cao'er to the stove room to help.
Bai Yinglu watched the Wang family and them come out of the house, hurriedly took out a small wooden box from under the kangqin, filled some dry tobacco first, and took a deep breath before talking to the two nephews: "Your second aunt, it's not as strict as before, your second uncle is called a strict one!" Look, you have to take a few more puffs of cigarettes on your back...... In these days, I can't drink wine, so if I can't take a few sips, what's the point? ”
Bai Shengwen smiled and didn't speak, but Bai Shengwu smiled and gave a thumbs up: "Second uncle does what he says, if he says quit drinking, he will quit drinking, he is a real man, man!" ”
was said to be happy, Bai Yinglu smiled and said: "What man is not a man, a man is not a man, I didn't see your second uncle being stunned by the old lady?" You two, don't be like your second uncle in the future, it's useless-" After a pause, he looked at the two nephews, looked at the door again, and then whispered: "If you want me to say, don't listen to your mother's marriage to Wen Lan, that little girl, if you want to marry her, you will live a worse life than your second uncle......"
The two brothers looked at each other and smiled, and neither of them answered the second uncle's words.
Bai Yinglu smoked his dry tobacco pouch with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Your second uncle and I, now we are making good money!" Every penny you earn will be saved by your second aunt, and you will recruit a son-in-law to support our old couple in the future. You say, this son-in-law comes to the door, how can the family be willing to do it if there is no family capital? So I said, after saving enough money, I will buy a few acres of land, no matter what, if I have land, I feel that I have hope, and I don't panic. ”
Bai Shengwen nodded: "Second Uncle is right, I think Sister Cao'er is also capable now, and she will definitely be able to support this family in the future." ”
Nodding, Bai Yinglu smiled, and suddenly sighed: "In the past, your father also said, your grandmother also said, your third uncle also told me all the time, and those who knew me laughed at me, so I always felt that I had to have a son." But when you come to Hala, who knows who you are? I don't know about your family affairs, no one is talking in my ears, I really figured it out, I don't care if I don't have a son, I make more money and recruit a son-in-law, isn't it half a son? You say, if you have figured it out a long time ago, where will it be...... Alas, really, what am I talking to you two about this? Even if Shengwen is a showman, he doesn't understand these things......"
Haha laughing, Bai Yinglu seems to really want to open it, although people are thinner and darker than before, but their spirit is good.
"Yikes!" While he was talking, Wang came in with a tray, and as soon as he entered the house, he shouted: "Why are you smoking in the house again?" I still have embroidery, what can I do if it smells of smoke? Get out there and smoke ......"
Bai Yinglu muttered, but in the end he still got up obediently and went to the door to smoke.
Bai Shengwu smiled, and sat on the threshold with the second uncle: "I'll accompany the second uncle, and we'll eat meat together in a while." ”
Bai Yinglu patted Bai Shengwu's head with a smile and whispered, "Let's not meet the old ladies in general...... Her embroidery is to be sold for a lot of money, and it can't be stained with the smell of smoke......"
Coincidentally, Xu Wenlan came out of the stove room and heard this.
pursed her lips and smiled, although she didn't speak, but she secretly said in her heart: Sure enough, women still have to be able to make money. Even now it is said that it is natural for men to raise women, and no one thinks it is wrong, but in the end, whoever earns more in the family can speak loudly, not only in modern times, but also in this era.
"Dad, you smoke less!" Bai Cao'er was not as afraid of his father as before, so he went directly to grab the dry tobacco pouch in his hand.
Bai Yinglu was not annoyed, and let Bai Cao'er snatch the dry tobacco pouch, and only complained: "I just smoked a few puffs of dry tobacco pouches, and it doesn't cost anything, you look at the old lady Gao, his son still smokes that *** for him, and the old nose has money......"
Xu Wenlan choked on saliva directly: What***? It can't be opium, right? Oh my mother! It's time for the Opium Wars? No, no, it's not that year! But why did opium come to it?
Blinking, Xu Wenlan asked in a low voice, "What***?" ”
Bai Yinglu said lightly: "It's also smoke, but it's expensive, the uncle of the Gao family bought it from the south, and said that it was ten taels of silver for a small piece, and he specially bought it to honor the old lady, saying that it was a ...... that can prolong life."
Xu Wenlan's soul was about to fly away: "Second uncle, don't smoke that, the name is good, but it is actually poisonous and will kill people!" ”
Bai Yinglu rolled his eyelids and glanced at Xu Wenlan, clearly not believing.
Since beating Xu Wenlan in front of him and saying that he couldn't give birth to a son and blamed him, Bai Yinglu didn't look down on his niece in this title, and he just snorted twice: "Where is your second uncle's life, such a precious thing is not smoked by a poor person like me!" ”
