Farmer’s Stepmother’s Skillful Farming

Chapter 488 Can’t sleep

"According to what Bai Taozhi said, the Shen family will come looking for someone overnight, and they may not find our house by then. If they do find someone, I will deal with it then."

Bai Shitang said, "We have a big bamboo basket at home. Both children were born small and small. They are hidden in the bamboo basket. When the time comes, they can be covered with some cloth and quilts, so nothing can be seen from the outside."

“If you put a few more bamboo baskets on it, say that you are delivering something to Qilixiang, we will leave early tomorrow, and no one else will be suspicious.”

“There is a carriage from the county town to the capital city. If you spend a little more money, you can rent a carriage. I will arrange this when the time comes. Don’t worry.”

Bai Shitang interrupted Su Mulan's words and stated his plan in one breath.

The water in the pot was boiling, and Su Mulan was stirring the noodles into the water. When he heard what Bai Shitang said, everything was so detailed, and the things were arranged so well, the movements of his hands paused slightly.

Shiraishido is really a very kind person.

Su Mulan pursed her lips and smiled at Bai Shitang, "Thank you."

 Helping for her kindness.

“Such kind words again.” Bai Shitang smiled, “We are a family, so naturally we are just grasshoppers on a rope.”

 This metaphor is a bit apt.

However, it is also a bit humorous.

Su Mulan was amused and laughed, but she was worried that her two children, Bai Taozhi and Bai Qingzao, were still hungry, so she didn't bother to talk to Bai Shitang. She hurriedly put all the lumps into the pot and knelt two more. Enter the plumeria.

 Hot noodle cakes and pimple soup.

 It is a staple food, there is hot soup, two people each have a piece of cake and a bowl of soup. After drinking it, I feel a lot more comfortable in my stomach.

With food in their bellies, Bai Taozhi and Bai Qingzao are now much calmer, unlike when they first arrived, trembling with fear.

Su Mulan and Bai Shuiliu washed the two of them, and Bai Shitang went to get the bed board.

Before the Tukang was built, the family slept on a wooden bed. After the Tukang was built, the bed boards were not discarded and were kept in the hut for later use. They came in handy now.

 The bed is covered with a thick mattress and covered with a thick quilt. There is a small stove next to it for baking. It will be warm at night and you will not catch a cold.

After putting these away, Su Mulan asked the children to go to bed quickly.

It’s late, so I can’t stay up late, and the whole family is busy here. The lights are bright, which makes others think that something is going on at home.

Bai Shitang tidied up his bedding and said to Su Mulan, "It's not going to be peaceful tonight. I'll go to Mi Dou's room to sleep."

Baimi Dou's house is closest to the gate. If the Shen family comes to Baijia Village at night and causes trouble, it is convenient for him to get up and check out the situation.

Secondly, Bai Taozhi and Bai Qingzao are both very old. Although they are in two separate houses, they are next to each other, so Bai Shitang does not find it convenient.

Moreover, the earthen kangs built in the rooms of the four children are also very spacious. It is not inconvenient for Baishitang to go to Baimidou's place to squeeze in.

Su Mulan understood Bai Shitang's thoughts and nodded, "Then you should worry more at night."

 After tidying up again, the lights were turned off, and the whole family went to bed.

 The soft quilt makes your whole body warm.

Bai Qingzao was lying on the bed, eyes wide open, unable to fall asleep.

"Go to sleep, you have to get up early tomorrow." Bai Taozhi pulled the quilt on Bai Qingzao.

"Sister..." Bai Qingzao's tears fell on the quilt along her cheeks.
