"Bang bang bang" there was a knock on the door in the yard.
Everyone was startled, and Bai Dazhuang quickly stuffed the ginseng under the bed.
Qiuniang went to open the door.
"Sister Qiu."
"Aunt Qiu."
Bai Zhaomei, uncle and nephew rushed in screaming and rushed all the way to the upper room.
"You've already gone to private school, why are you still acting like a monkey?" Old Mrs. Bai said to Bai Zhao's sister, uncle and nephew.
Bai Zhaomei Dalang Sanlang has been attending a private school in the town for a few days. They don't live there. They set out from Shenshu Village every morning and return home from the town after school in the evening.
For country kids who are used to running on mountain roads, running back and forth from the town to Shenshu Village every day is nothing.
Besides, it's not just the three of them, but also the village chief's grandson Zhao Xiaogui and Wu Langzhong's son Wu Chaojing.
"What did you learn today?" Bai Banban asked.
"People are inherently good by nature. It was my second brother who taught us the lesson today," Bai Zhaomei said.
"If you don't study well, let your second brother hammer you, and your mother will check your homework in the evening. If you don't know how, you won't have dinner." Bai Banban said with a stern face.
"Dad, I learned it in class. If you don't believe me, wait until the second brother comes to ask the second brother. Zhao Xiaogui, you know, he is a fool of a man. He hasn't memorized it for a long time, and the second brother is so angry that he wants to slap him." Bai Zhaomei said .
"Don't worry about others, just take care of yourself and your two nephews." Bai Banban rolled his eyes at his son.
"By the way, Erlang, this is the homework that the second uncle gave you. He said that you can learn everything we learned. This is extra homework for you. I asked you to write it down and take it to him tomorrow." Dalang took out a piece of paper. Leave it to Erlang.
Erlang took it with an envious look on his face, hoping that his legs would get better and he could go to a private school like Uncle Wu and the others.
"Sister, here are the candies I bought for you." Bai Zhaomei handed the paper bag she had been holding to her sister and said, "I haven't seen my sister for a day. Sister, let me take you out to play."
Xiao Fuyuan took the paper bag and said sweetly: "Thank you, Fifth Brother. Fifth Brother has to review his homework, and you also need to practice the kung fu that Brother Xie taught you."
Mrs. Bai patted Bai Zhaomei on the forehead and said: "Look at how sensible your sister is, she knows she doesn't dare to delay you. Why don't you study hard and practice kung fu."
Bai Zhaomei said with a smile: "Then I listen to my sister. Practice Kung Fu first and then practice calligraphy."
Old Mrs. Bai waved the air in front of her eyes and said, "Go out and wash your face and hands, your sister is smelling all the sweat."
On a hot day, Bai Zhaomei, uncle and nephew ran from the town to the village, covered in stinky sweat.
Qiuniang didn't wait for them to go out, so she brought water and towels in and wiped the faces of Bai Zhaomei, uncle and nephew.
It was really hard for the fifth brother and his nephew to go to school, running all the way.
Xiao Fuyuan thought for a while and said to Mrs. Bai: "Nai, let's buy another house in the town, so that Fifth Brother and the others don't have to come back and run away."
Anyway, the second sister-in-law just said that she wanted to buy a shop in the town, and Mrs. Bai had no objection.
I want to buy both the house and the shop, so why not buy them together?
Mrs. Zhen strongly agrees with her daughter.
Summer is okay. The mountain road from the town to Shenshu Village is covered with greenery and the heat is limited. But it's different in winter. It's snowy and windy. Running back and forth like this would be bad if something goes wrong.
In the past, the fourth child of the Bai family was studying in a private school and lived together with Bai Erzhuang. Now, Bai Zhaomei, uncle and nephew can't squeeze apart and have to run back and forth.
"I bought a house so that my second brother can live in it." Xiao Fuyuan further explained the reason for buying the house.
Eugene Gui's eyes lit up when she heard this. She had always told Bai Erzhuang to rent a house in the town and live as a family of three. Bai Erzhuang always disagrees. Now that there is a house in the town, even if she can't move to the town to reunite with Bai Erzhuang, she can still live there occasionally.
She also wants to have a daughter.
How can I have a daughter if I can't catch a strong man all the time?
"My sister is still thoughtful. Sister, don't worry, if you buy a house, even if your second brother lives in it, the house will still be in your name." Eugene Gui said with a vow.
Xie Chuntao was also very happy. From now on, her son would not have to come back and save time to read books or adjust the abacus. There are only benefits in the end.
As for the issue of discipline in the town, Youbai Erzhuang looked at her and felt relieved.
As for the issue of eating, there is rice, noodles and firewood. Bai Zhaomei, uncle and nephew can cook, and there is also Saburo who wants to be a chef, so he can still be hungry.
Old Mrs. Bai looked at Xiao Fuyuan with loving eyes, nodded and said: "After all, Xiao Yuanbao is the one who thinks carefully. Children, as in every family, only think about others."
Xie Chuntao echoed from the side: "Nai said it, not me. There is no better girl than my sister-in-law in the entire Nanguan Town."
Bai Banban glared at his children and grandchildren fiercely and lectured: "Look at your sister and aunt, they think of you in everything. If you don't dare to love Xiao Yuanbao in the future, you are not descendants of the Bai family."
Bai Zhaomei immediately swore: "I will become a general in the future to support my sister."
Erlang followed up and said: "I will make a lot of money to spend with my little aunt."
Not to be outdone, Sanlang raised his hands and said, "I will make delicious food for my aunt from now on."
Xiao Fuyuan: "..."
Bai Zhaomei suddenly remembered something and asked, "Didn't our family just buy a house in the county and marry our third brother? Where did we get the money to buy the house?"
Mrs. Bai knew that this matter could not be hidden, so she told Xiao Fuyuan and the white board about pulling out wild radishes and ginseng.
Bai Zhaomei, uncle and nephew were not surprised at all. They thought it was normal for great good things to happen to little Fuyuan.
The matter of buying a house and a shop has been decided.
"Nai, let's buy some fertile land. My sister's dowry still contains a little land. From now on, we will buy it one acre at a time." Bai Dazhuang interrupted.
Bai Dazhuang has a special affection for land. In his concept, buying land is worse than buying anything.
Even in times of famine, if you have land, you have hope of survival.
A few days ago, the money at home bought some land for the family. Now that we have money, we should buy some land for my sister.
Zhen nodded, quite approving of Bai Dazhuang's idea.
When the Zhen Mansion was at its peak, there were countless shops and houses, but very little land, especially sacrificial fields. As a result, when the Zhen family was ransacked, everything was confiscated.
"Da Zhuang, if you go around the surrounding villages and see someone selling their land, no matter where you buy it, remember it as a sacrificial field." Zhen said.
"Field sacrifices? Our family is not that particular, and we don't offer sacrifices? That's what wealthy families do." Bai Dazhuang was quite puzzled by Zhen's request.
Bai Banban knew Zhen's thoughts and said to Bai Dazhuang: "It is only used as a sacrificial field during registration. You don't care whether it is farming or doing anything else. Who can come to see the land? Even if the family commits a crime, the government will It won’t be confiscated…”
Only then did Bai Dazhuang react and said: "My mother was thoughtful. Then this sacrificial field should be recorded in my sister's name. There is no field in our village. I will see if anyone in the villages outside sells land these days. Where can anyone sell it to us?" Just buy it, it’s the same as hiring people.”
Xie Chuntao clicked her tongue. She had been married to Lao Bai's family for so many years, but she never thought that her family could still hire people to farm.
Xie Chuntao thought of her natal village and suggested in her heart: "In addition to the fields, I thought of the fruit trees produced in the mountains of my natal family. There is a hilltop that has always been deserted. Why not buy that hilltop to give to my sister-in-law as a dowry."
No one has ever bought that barren mountain. Some people say that it is difficult to cultivate the barren mountain. What Xie Chuntao thinks is that her sister-in-law is different. Her sister-in-law is lucky. In places that are difficult for others to cultivate, her sister-in-law may be able to fill the mountain with fruits with just a finger. fragrant.
"Buy it and give it all to my sister-in-law. What are you afraid of in the barren mountains? Maybe with my sister-in-law's blessing, I will immediately come back to life." Eugene Gui rarely agreed with Xie Chuntao.
Xiao Fuyuan's mouth twitched, the second sister-in-law thought she was a god.
Everyone in the Bai family agreed that this was a good idea. There was nothing to be afraid of in the barren mountain. It would be good to buy it and hide in it even if there was war.
"Okay, buy a hilltop for your sister as a dowry. Chuntao, you and Da Zhuang go to your parents' house and ask your eldest brother to settle this matter." Old Mrs. Bai said with finality.
