Chapter 14 Getting a Favor

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Xiangnan's relaxed eyes immediately became sharp, and he looked straight at Bai Liu.

Bai Liu was not afraid, and met Zhou Xiangnan's gaze.

She has no interest in Zhou Xiangnan or Fu Bao, so why be afraid.

But Zhou Xiangnan was worthy of being a soldier of the Hua Kingdom, and in an instant she thought of the general who had just met once in the palace and returned from the battle.

It seems that there is a murderous look between talking and laughing.

"Father." Zhijun's voice broke the silence.

Zhou Xiangnan nodded to his son with a smile, then suppressed his temptation, and sighed facing Bai Liu: "I would rather she was just an ordinary child."

He didn't answer Bai Liu's question directly, but the meaning was obvious.

Bai Liu understood, and Zhou's father and son really understood.

Perhaps it is also because of this that Zhijun never leaves Fubao.

She happily said: "Fubao is very special, when we went up the mountain..."

She told the truth about what happened that day, and Zhou Xiangnan frowned.

If it wasn't just Bailiu and Tangdou who were there that day, how would Fubao be viewed by other people in the village?
He said that he would rather his daughter was just an ordinary person, which is also true.

"When we were in the compound, Fu Bao was not so lucky—"

At that time, they didn't have many opportunities to go up the mountain, and Fubao was still young, and their "luck" would become more and more obvious in the future.

Zhou Xiangnan lowered his head, his eyes were filled with melancholy.

As a parent, you have to think more.

In a person's life, many gifts are not gifts, but requests.

"Try not to let Fu Bao go up the mountain with other people in the future. With you by your side, you can probably cover the sight of others." Bai Liu couldn't hold back his words.

Zhou Xiangnan nodded silently, his lips moved when he raised his head later, he hesitated to speak.

"Say it straight." Bai Liu had some guesses in his heart.

"I will start work the day after tomorrow, and my unit hasn't given me a house yet, so I can't bring my two children to live in a dormitory." Zhou Xiangnan looked a little embarrassed, and finally made up his mind, and said in a sincere tone, "Zhijun will watch Fubao, when there are occasional group activities, can you and Tangdou bring Fubao with you?"

Since Bai Liu already knew Fu Bao's secret, they didn't have to cover it up.And if it doesn't bother the two masters, it's better to continue to ask Bai Liu for help.

Zhou Zhijun also seemed relieved, and looked at Bai Liu expectantly.

The father and son had the same eyebrows and eyes full of anticipation. In their opinion, Bai Liu is now the best person and someone worthy of entrustment.

Bai Liu didn't know that the two days of fair trading had given her the title of a good person, she just felt that she was a little lacking in consideration.

In all fairness, she helped Fu Bao at first out of pity for a girl who lost her mother when she was young.

But more importantly, Tangdou likes Fubao better, so she can work hard for Tangdou's friendship.

The friendship between the two little girls is so beautiful. Tangdou wants to make up for what she didn't have in her previous life and what she neglected in this life.

However, the premise is that it can't cause losses to Tangdou and himself.

"I can't completely guarantee that there will be no mistakes. I hope you can understand. While taking care of Tangdou, I can take care of Fubao." She hopes that Zhou's father and son can also protect Tangdou.

At least they are holding each other back.

Seriously speaking, she was at a disadvantage.

Zhou Xiangnan didn't hesitate at all, and immediately promised: "Thank you, I owe you a favor, and I will do my best to help in the future."

"Okay, thank you in advance." She was no longer polite.

People, who knows when to ask for help, it is better to leave favors first.

"Tangdou and Fubao are waiting imminently, I'll divide the meat first." She indirectly issued an order to evict the guests.

The folk customs in the countryside are not so simple. Widows and widowers live together in the same room. Even if Zhou Zhijun is present, outsiders will have imaginations.

Zhou Xiangnan understood, and immediately took his son and left.

"Please take care of Fubao for us, Zhijun and I will not go."

Bai Liu watched them leave with a smile, and after waiting for a while, closed the door and went to the stage in the brigade.

When the hunting team returned early in the morning, the prey was not easy to store for a long time, so the brigade unanimously decided to distribute it to the members on the same day.

Nowadays, the team divides the prey equally according to the population, and then those who want to get more prey can pay the work points in advance. After a few days, the king will calculate the dividends and settle them together.

A few days before Huang Feng's arrival, he had asked the captain to separate the family. This time the meat division will have an impact on every small family.

When Bai Liu found Tangdou, Huang Fenglai said to his sons and daughters-in-law: "Let me agree first, you can discuss the division of meat this time, whether to cook alone or together, don't talk about who eats more and who gets less."

Bai Shu, Bai Lin, and Bai Yang were a little at a loss as the Bai family split up and then remained undivided.

On the contrary, Bai Liu was very calm.

"Mom, let's listen to you. It's almost Chinese New Year. The whole family has to eat together. Can we all have the same meat?" It’s also good to start a fire when eating with Tangdou at home.”

She quietly pointed out several brothers and sisters-in-law.

For the Bai family, the benefits of cooking together are greater than being apart, but it is inevitable that when they want to open a small stove and hold a tooth festival, her method is the most fair.

Sure enough, Li Xiulan and Zhao Jinfang's eyes lit up, and they said to Huang Feng at the same time: "Mom, we listen to you."

Eldest brother Bai Shu and sister-in-law Huang Meiling didn't speak. They had four children, three of whom were half-children, and they really didn't have enough money to start a small business.

Nor is it necessary.

Huang Feng saw that his sons and daughters had a lot to discuss, and he was very satisfied: "You don't need to spend more this year, I will buy more, but just once."

Several daughters-in-law smiled at the same time, their mother-in-law was really generous when she was generous.

Just as the Bai family finished speaking, the division of meat just started.

Huang Fenglai and Li Xiulan's sisters-in-law came early, so they still had a choice.

There is an old butcher in the brigade who has slaughtered pigs since he was young. He divides the meat very meticulously and skillfully, and the weight of each piece of meat is not much different.

"Let me say a few words first," the team leader roared. "This year, we met a herd of wild boars. There are also a lot of pheasants and hares, as well as roe deer. We share pork by head. Others who want pheasants, rabbits and roe deer will get work points." Change! The pig farm in the team will hand over ten pigs to the commune this year, and we will divide them into eight!"

Bai Liu just learned about it, wild pork can be divided into one catty and one tael per person, and domestic pig can be divided into one catty and two taels per person, which is much more than in previous years.

During the famine a few years ago, not to mention that wild boars could not be hunted, even the farms in the village had no pigs.

Thinking about it now, it was really difficult back then.

Bai Liu handed over the pork to Huang Fenglai, and then stood by the pork stall waiting to catch the leak.

Then, after others picked and picked, they rounded up all the big bones and pigs.

The expression on Aunt Tian's face was very exciting, annoyed, heartbroken...all turned into anger in the end.

"Bai Liu, you are so extravagant, who can fall in love with you!"
