Chapter 77
I returned home in a carriage, and it was almost time for dinner.

When Bai Moli came out to hold firewood at the door, she happened to see the three of them and shouted quickly.

"Uncle and sister-in-law are back from the county."

As soon as the sound came out, Bai Baiqi and Niu Shi all ran out, enthusiastically went to help with the things.

Mrs. Li also came out to greet Bai Jinli, and asked her with concern if she was tired, if she had any problems in the county, and if she had sold everything.

"Mother, it's all good, you let us go back to drink some water and catch our breath."

"Yes, yes, come in."

"Second daughter-in-law, what are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and pour water for Lizi."

"Yes, mother, I'll go right away." Niu turned around and went to the kitchen, and soon brought three bowls and a pot of herbal tea that had been dried in advance.

It is now the middle of May, and although the weather is not too hot, they are still sweating after tossing back and forth for so long.

After pouring two bowls of water in a row, Bai Jinli felt that she had regained her strength.

"Mother, the flower baskets and herbs are all sold. I used the money from the medicinal materials to buy rice flour oil, and these are the money from the eggs and flower baskets."

Passed the money to Mrs. Li, who took a look at it and put it away.

"Good girl, you are still capable!"

"It's okay." Bai Jinli nodded in response.

She seemed to be used to being praised by Mrs. Li.

"Mother, I bought some pastries when I came back. You should try it before you eat."

After finishing speaking, Bai Jinli shared a piece of the pastries he bought with each of them.

They took the cakes and ate happily one by one.

"I also bought two catties of meat. Let's have meat buns and noodle soup for lunch today."

Bai Jinli went to the kitchen. Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Niu had just returned, and before they started cooking, she asked for a suggestion.

"Okay." Mrs. Li nodded in agreement.

Hearing this, the whole family was a little happy because they could eat meat again.

With the previous experience, Mrs. Zhang is obviously much more proficient in handling pig offal.

When frying the meat, Mrs. Zhang followed Bai Jinli's instructions, first refined the oil from the fat meat, and then put the chopped lean meat and spare ribs into the pan to fry.

After it is cooked, take out the ribs, and then put some green peppers and fry them together.

The fried meat with chopped green peppers is very tempting in the white steamed buns, and a bite is simply delicious.

If you can use the freshly baked pancakes to sandwich minced green peppers and roast the meat, it will taste even better.

After everyone ate a Roujiamo, they all had unsatisfied expressions on their faces, wishing to swallow their tongues.

It's good to be able to eat, they don't have the extravagant desire to eat too much at one time.

After Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Niu finished eating the roujiamo, they started making noodle soup.

The so-called soup noodles are actually very simple.

It is to put the thin noodles that have just been kneaded and pulled in water to cook, then take them out and put them in cold water for a while, then take them out and control them.

After making a new pot of soup with pork ribs and broth, turn on the fire and boil the soup until it boils, scoop the pre-cooked thin noodles into a bowl, and pour a large spoonful of steaming soup.

Then sprinkle egg pancakes and minced chives, and add a spoonful of oil and chili peppers.

perfect.

"It's delicious, it's delicious." Old Master Bai spoke first.

"That's necessary. This is a meal cooked under the guidance of my daughter. Is it delicious?" Mrs. Li snorted, her tone still full of pride.

"Father, mother, eat more if you like." Bai Jinli said with a smile.

After all, it was stained with lard, and it was different from the coarse grains and wild vegetables they used to eat.

After eating, everyone rubbed their bellies in satisfaction, and Bai Jinli was no exception.

While hiccupping, she was meditating on a question.

If she continues to eat in this way, can she still lose weight successfully?Inexplicably a little worried.

After dinner, Mrs. Li went back to her room to hide the money, and Bai Jinli followed.

"Mom, I bought you a gift when I went to the county today."

"What gift?"

"Mother, look." Bai Jinli took out the fragrant soap she bought.

"What is this? Square and square?"

"This one, it can be used to wash your hands, wash your face, and take a shower. After washing, your hands and face are slippery."

After Bai Jinli finished speaking, she forced Granny Li to try it out.

"Huh? Really, look at the pears." Mrs. Li was a little happy when she used this novelty for the first time.

"Well, mother, do you like it?"

"I like it. This thing is really good. How much is it?" Mrs. Li put her hand under her nose and sniffed it, smiling all over her face.

Not only is this thing good, but also because it was given by her niece, so she is happy.

"It's not worth a lot of money. It's good that you like it, mother. You need to use this thing every day. You can't waste my heart in vain. I will remind you in the future."

"Yes, yes, I will definitely listen to what my daughter says." Mrs. Li replied with a smile.

As soon as Mr. Bai entered the house from the outside, he was shown off by Mrs. Li, and his face was filled with unhappiness.

However, Mrs. Li couldn't control the joy in her heart, and kept swaying beside Mr. Bai.

"How about it, master, look at my hands, are they smooth and slippery? Come and smell them, are they fragrant?"

"I know, I know, I know that your daughter is the best for you." Old Master Bai snorted, but he felt a little bit of a taste in his heart.

"Hey, Dad, I also bought you a gift when I went to the county this time."

Bai Jinli looked at old master Bai's expression, held back the expression of wanting to chuckle, and spoke seriously.

"Well, what? And mine?" Old Man Bai suddenly turned to look at her.

"How about it, Dad, do you like it?"

Bai Jinli handed the small teapot she liked to Old Master Bai.

"This is... for me?"

"Yes, it was specially selected for you. How about it, Dad, are you satisfied?"

"Well, it's not bad, yes."

Old man Bai held the teapot and looked up, down, left, and right. The more he looked, the more satisfied he became.

"Pear, isn't this thing cheap? Why are you spending money like this? It's not like there's no bowl for tea at home."

Bai Jinli looked at him, who obviously couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear because of his happiness, held back a smile and said accusations against his will, and opened his mouth pretending to be entangled.

"Father, if you don't like it, then I will take it and return it. The shopkeeper said that if he is not satisfied, he can return all the money to me."

"No, I bought everything, why should I return it?"

Hearing this, old man Bai quickly put the teapot into his arms, holding it like a baby, and refused to let go no matter what.

"You, you obviously like what my daughter gave you, why don't you admit it, really." Mrs. Li is the person who knows old man Bai best, so she couldn't help but talk about him.

"uh-huh."

Seeing the embarrassment on Old Master Bai's face, Bai Jinli said with a faint smile, "Okay, Father, Mother, I'll go back to the house if I'm fine, you guys can rest for a while."

After Bai Jinli left, old man Bai smiled.

"Old woman, have you noticed that our daughter is getting more and more sensible, and she doesn't like to lose her temper, and now she still knows how to give me things."

"My daughter gave it to you because of my face. Otherwise, only I have a gift and you don't, so wouldn't you be ugly? Anyway, my daughter loves me the most, hmph."

Mrs. Li hummed and wanted to bring over the teapot to have a look. Unexpectedly, Mr. Bai would not let go of holding it, and said that it was specially given to him by his daughter, so he would not give it to others. The angry Mrs. Li beat him several times, Turned away and went to sleep.

The more Mr. Bai watched it, the more he liked it, and finally he couldn't fall asleep, so he simply got up to wash the teapot, took another pot of water, and walked out the door with his arms in his arms.

In the past, some people in the village liked to gather together to chat and gossip after eating, and some would go home to sleep.

In the past, when old man Bai didn't want to sleep at noon, he would go out for a walk and listen to what those people had to say.

Then he discovered that it was nothing more than showing off or messy things.

Someone secretly praised his son for being obedient and sensible, and a good workman.

Some people say that the crops in their fields are growing well, and the harvest this year should not be bad.

Someone said that a relative's neighbor in their family had two sons, and they were very happy.

Some people secretly boasted that his family ate meat, and that his son was working as a clerk in the county and bought him something good when he came back.

In the past, at times like this, old man Bai just listened and felt sour, and didn't talk to him.

But today, he suddenly wanted to show off.

"Do you know? Isn't my son working as a waiter in the Dexiang Restaurant in the town? He came back yesterday and told us that he has been promoted to a supervisor, and his income has increased by fifty yuan a month."

"Not bad, not bad." Old Master Bai turned the mouth of the kettle and said.

"It's still your son who is promising, but mine is not. He only knows how to use force all day long, and he doesn't let me work in the field, saying that he is afraid that I will be tired. Hey, the older I get, the more disobedient I am. "

"What a filial child." Old Master Bai continued to caress his teapot with his hand.

"Didn't you say that taxes will be raised this year? I don't know how much grain we will collect? Our life is getting worse and worse. After a year of hard work, we don't know how much wheat we will harvest next month."

"I can't help it, it's fate." Old Master Bai sighed, then raised his head and took another sip of tea.

He usually kept a low profile, but now he spoke several times in a row, and everyone immediately turned their attention to him, and saw the small teapot in his arms.

Soon, someone asked.

"Hey, the teapot in your hand looks delicate, where did it come from?"

Elder Bai was happy, thinking, these people could be regarded as having a good point in asking questions, but on the surface they looked casual and careless.

"Oh, what are you talking about? My daughter bought me a gift when she went to the county to buy rice today. It's not a valuable thing, it's just drinking water."

After the old man Bai finished speaking, he successfully saw the expressions of disbelief, envy, jealousy and hatred on everyone's faces, and his mood instantly felt extremely comfortable.

How about saying that these people are fine and like to gather together to chat and brag, so it turns out that this feeling is really cool.
