"Hey~, I follow mother's arrangements."

Mrs. Du was overjoyed. It was a waste of effort to open up wasteland, and she had to eat dry food. The food stored at home was almost used up.

No matter what Bai Yunxi planned, Bai Yunsong was satisfied.

When I got home, I helped the old man sit down on the bamboo chair, poured him a glass of water, and said, "Dad, please rest while my son goes to deal with something."

"Yunsong, please stay for a while."

The old patriarch tapped the dry tobacco bag on the leg of the chair, filled it with tobacco again, lit the fire, and took a few puffs.

The thick smoke choked him and made him cough.

"Dad, please stop smoking. Your throat can't bear it." The local smoke is so strong that it smokes your teeth and nails yellow over time.

"Let's not talk about me first. What do you think? There are also documents written by Yunxi girl, two pieces of money, ahem... Why did you let Yunxi girl hold your hand?"

"Dad, my cousin is not capable of managing the private school now, and she knows it well. The purpose of setting up the written statement is just to let us take care of it more in the future. I understand, and she also understands. She has no guts to publish the written note to the public, unless she doesn't care Xiaowu’s path to the imperial examination.”

When it comes to private schools, they are indeed a bit pushy.

But the cousin's husband is gone, and the private school will fail in their hands just because the cousin is orphaned and widowed.

As the head of the Bai clan and Li Zheng, the private school is their honor, and he cannot just watch his cousin close it due to poor management. ♤

He would use other methods to make up for his debt to his cousin.

But he was bound to get the private school.

"Dad, I will ask Anbang to send two bushels of brown rice and one bushel of black noodles to my cousins ​​later, as compensation for them."

Right now, eating is the food they need most to sustain their lives, and everything else can be put aside.

When he was a child, he had been studying with his uncle, and later he dealt with his cousin's husband. As for his cousin, who was a girl, he didn't take it seriously.

Everyone said that she had a good fortune. Her father was a scholar and an official, so her fortune was indeed good.

A peasant girl sometimes becomes too rich and powerful to bear it, and ends up miserable.

The old patriarch listened to his son's arrangement, considered it, and nodded.

"It's good to send some food over for emergency purposes. You can't really starve them. Just do what you plan to do. If you take more care of them in the future, you can be worthy of your uncle."

"Don't worry, Dad, we are of the same family after all, and my son will not let it go." Appropriate kindness is okay, but if they want to use private schools as a cocoon, they are just being smart.

Now that the house was quiet, Baiyunxi organized his belongings and took Yaya to the river to fish again.

Taking advantage of the hot weather, catch a few more fish and dry them in the sun to make dried salted fish, which is also good for stews in winter.

The weather was fine today. Baiyunxi took Yaya and sat down in the shade of a tree, hung the bait, put it into the water, and waited for the fish to take the bait.

After two days of fishing with Baiyun River, the little girl Yaya also knew not to speak loudly, otherwise the fish would be scared away. Fortunately, she prepared a lollipop and licked it from time to time to pass the time.

The grandfather and grandson stared at the fishing rod, waiting for the fish to take the bait.

"Hey~, have you heard that the widow in Baiyunxi sends her sons to open up wasteland in the back mountains every day?"

"How come you haven't heard of it? It's been two days, and it's still halfway up the hillside. If you ask me, Bai Shi is really ignorant. The hillside can't store water, and the soil is so barren that it will cause drought. .”

"Actually, I don't blame her. On weekdays, we have to eat and drink at home. There is no need for her to work in the fields. Whether she can separate the crop seedlings is still a problem."
