Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Bai Zepei confirmed again. Bai Ruozhu really thought it was the Wang family's good intentions, and did not expect Wang Minglu personally. Bai Zepei shook his head helplessly, and silently sighed for Wang Minglu in his heart.

The harvest ended the next day, two days earlier than others. Bai Yihong was in a good mood, so he went to the old house and told the old man that since he had finished harvesting the land for the old house, he would also be busy planting seeds in his own land. .

Of course Bai Yibo was reluctant, but in previous years they didn't have the habit of letting the second house help them sow seeds, or they weren't too reassured.

"Yihong, we really don't have enough manpower lately, otherwise, why don't you help your parents plow the ground?" Bai Yibo's face was filled with a flattering smile.

Bai Yihong is no longer the silly guy he used to be. He followed what his daughter told him before he came and said: "Brother should have regained his strength after resting for a few days. If he doesn't go to the fields, the villagers will complain about him. And my family doesn't have enough people. Master Li has arranged some errands for Erlang, and Erlang won’t be able to return home for the next few days.”

Bai Yibo felt sour in his heart when he heard it, but he said unhappily: "Really or not? Isn't Erlang just looking for an excuse to go out to play because he wants to be lazy?"

In fact, Erlang's destination was agreed upon by Bai Ruozhu's family. Their land in Linjiang Village was also going to be watched, and then the land was leased out for sowing so that they could harvest grain and rent next season. Originally, I wanted Bai Zehao or Bai Yihong to go to this matter, but because I was afraid that the old man would gossip, I chose Bai Zepei to go out, and then used Mr. Li to silence the old man.

Can the old man say that he is not allowed to go to what Mr. Li ordered?

It was because Bai Yihong knew what Erlang was doing and was particularly disgusted with his elder brother's words. He raised his head and took a deep look at his elder brother and asked: "When has the elder brother ever seen Erlang dodging? He was just before taking the quiz. , you still found time to help me in the fields. Even after passing the clerkship exam, you still went to the fields to do farm work. You have no airs as a scholar at all, so how can you hide away?"

Bai Yibo understood the meaning of his words, but the long-term relationship between superiors and subordinates made Bai Yibo not care about Bai Yihong's attitude at all. He glared at Bai Yihong and said: "Second brother, are you insinuating that I don't go to the ground? You Have you learned how to twist and turn now?"

"Brother, speak frankly, but don't wrong the kid Erlang. It's not easy for my Erlang to be able to read today." After Bai Yihong finished speaking, he ignored him, said hello to the old man and left.

The old man froze on the spot, pondering Bai Yihong's words over and over in his mind. It was not easy for Erlang to get to where he is today. Erlang still worked diligently. Erlang took the criminal case exam at a young age...

The old man sighed softly, turned around and went back to the house to read.

That day, the Bai family invited helpers, as well as the Zhou family and Wang family parents to come over for dinner to express their gratitude again. The person who made the decision in the Wang family was Wang Qi, but he said he would not join in the fun to avoid the young people being restrained. The last ones to come were Wang Minglu's parents.

The meal was extremely lively, and for some reason the conversation about children and marriage came up during the dinner.

"This dynasty advocates freedom of marriage. We parents have to look at the faces of our children. Alas, Mother Zehao, the second son of my family will worry me to death." Mrs. Wang Su poured her heart out to Lin Ping'er after drinking two glasses of wine. stand up.

"Your Minglu is such a good child. What do you have to worry about? I heard that many girls have fallen in love with him." Lin Ping'er lowered her voice and laughed secretly. Her two sons Isn't it the same? Yesterday, someone came to check on her, but it was a pity that Erlang didn't want to get married early.

Mrs. Wang Su glanced sideways at Wang Minglu at the next table, and sighed again: "Originally, I felt sorry for my Caiyue, and didn't want her to get married so early, so I just wanted to wait until the second boy got married. Who knows who this boy might be? They didn't like each other, so I asked him which one he liked. He said that he was not busy getting married, and he said that he had to establish a career first. We farmers can only grow enough land to eat. What did he say about establishing a career? "

Rong'er Niang was accompanying her and said with a smile: "The men are only around, you should be proud of Minglu."

In fact, Mrs. Wang Su was quite proud. She lowered her voice and said, "He is quite capable of troublemaking himself. He said that he has to go to the Yamen to work as an errand after doing farm work."

"Oh, this is a great thing. From now on, you will be a member of the official family." Lin Ping'er smiled and filled Wang Su's glass again.

"No, it is said that the official establishment of the yamen will not be officially established until after half a year after passing the assessment. But he keeps putting it off, and he doesn't know when he will get a wife. Will he still be twenty years old?" Wang Su said I'm not pretending, I'm really worried.

Lin Ping'er instantly found her soulmate, holding Wang Su's hand and telling her that Bai Zepei didn't want to get married, and said that she would wait until she got the honors, so she couldn't be more than twenty?

The meal was spent with the men chatting and laughing, and the women talking about their children's marriages. When everyone left, Bai Ruozhu went to clear away the dishes, and Lin Ping'er and Rong'er Niang also came to help. The three of them had just put away the dishes. After putting away the dishes and chopsticks, a small figure walked into the Bai family's yard.

It was Shiro who hadn't come over to eat for several days. Bai Ruozhu hurriedly waved to him and said, "There is still food. Sister will serve it for you." Because of Shiro's help last time, Bai Ruozhu regarded him as her closest relative. Bai Ruozhu's eyes became moist every time she thought of the scene of Silang and Sanlang fighting to help her.

Shiro walked over and handed a small basket made of rattan to Bai Ruozhu. The basket was very rough and probably made by his own hands. When Bai Ruozhu looked into the basket again, he realized that Shiro had gone to pick up ears. It is the most common activity that children in the village do during the autumn harvest, but the things they pick up are either changed by themselves or given to the subsidized family.

Shiro seemed to think Bai Ruozhu was too slow, frowned slightly and said, "Here you go!"

Bai Ruozhu hurriedly took it, and she somewhat understood that Shiro was paying for the recent meal in his own way. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, who said Shiro was a fool? The child just closed his heart. In fact, he knew it in his heart. Isn't it smart enough to express his gratitude in this way?

"Hurry up and eat, eat more meat so you can grow taller!" Bai Ruozhu held back the sour taste in her nose, drove Shiro to eat, and then took a small basket to show Lin Ping'er.

Lin Ping'er wiped the corner of her eyes after looking at it and said: "Silang, this kid has a conscience and knows how to be grateful. Even if he doesn't look at it and refuses to speak, his heart is brighter than many people in the old house."

Bai Yihong also nodded, "In the future, let the children come over to eat more good food. It is the age when they are growing up."

"Dad, haven't you noticed that if he comes once, he won't come for a few days?" Erlang, who was drinking tea, suddenly asked.

"Ah? It seems like this recently." Bai Yihong thought for a while and said.

"One time I saw Xiaosi in the village. He had injuries on his face, as if he had been slapped. I thought about it and found that he had come to our house for dinner the day before." Erlang also sighed slightly.

"What? Are you saying that Xiaosi always waits for his injuries to be hard to see before coming here again?" Bai Ruozhu jumped up when he heard this.
