Chapter 132 Favoring one and favoring another

First Bai Zepei, then Bai Ruozhu, Bai Yihong, Lin Ping'er and Bai Zehao were all stunned. What happened to these two brothers and sisters? Are you so talkative today?

Bai Yibo stopped crying, put on a proud smile on his face, and said: "Erlang, you are so aware of filial piety and caring about your grandparents after you passed the criminal examination. It's really good." Bai Yibo, who was clearly behind him, agreed very much. Ruozhu was completely ignored by him, as if Bai Ruozhu didn't speak at all.

Bai Ruozhu was too lazy to pay attention to him, and hurriedly winked at her parents and eldest brother. The three of them understood, and although they were reluctant, they did not object.

Bai Yibo was very satisfied. Thinking of not having to work hard in the fields tomorrow, his face burst into smiles. He also had a good attitude toward Bai Yihong. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Second brother, I know you are still okay." Well, I'll go back and tell my parents first, so as not to worry them, and you must go there early tomorrow morning."

Bai Yihong nodded painfully, he was really reluctant.

After Bai Yibo left in a big way, Bai Yihong hurriedly called his family back to the house and asked anxiously: "How could you agree? What on earth is going on?"

Lin Ping'er was so anxious that she was getting angry, "Are the crops in our field really going to rot in the ground?"

Bai Zepei suddenly changed from his usual aloof image, walked behind Lin Ping'er and squeezed her shoulders.

"Mom, calm down. My uncle just played the family card outside our door. Many people in the village heard it. If we don't help my grandma, it will be our family's fault, and we will even be labeled as unfilial. ." He explained patiently.

It was rare for Bai Ruozhu to see such a second brother, and found it very interesting. Such a second brother was more down-to-earth.

Bai Zehao also asked Bai Yihong to sit down and squeezed Bai Yihong's shoulders. After all, Bai Yihong and his wife were quite old. They were really tired after working in the fields for a day, so they just enjoyed the massage from their two sons.

Bai Ruozhu glanced at the little Deng Deng who was playing in a basket nearby, and thought sadly: Little guy, when will you give your mother a squeeze on my shoulders?

"Let others say what they say. We are too tired and will be dragged down for the rest of our lives." Lin Ping'er said angrily.

Bai Ruozhu poured a cup of tea for each of her father and mother, and said with a smile: "Now that Erlang has passed the criminal examination, he is on the cusp of the storm. We can't let others take the opportunity to use this matter to cause trouble for Erlang, right? Anyway, we are hiding. But, why not make it beautiful so that no one can find fault with it.”

"Yes, my little sister thought of coming with me." Bai Zepei nodded approvingly. The little sister's understanding is really high.

"Then we really don't care about our land?" Bai Yihong asked distressedly. He worked early and late to work on the crops in those fields. Now that the harvest has come and asked him to give up, how could he let it go?

Bai Ruozhu thought for a while and said, "We will spend money to hire people, and then the whole family will go to the old homestead. If we can't hire strong laborers in the village or nearby villages, we will go to the town to find them, even if it costs a little more money."

Bai Yihong felt that the work was definitely not as meticulous as his own, but that was all he could do, and he sighed in annoyance.

Early the next morning, Bai Ruozhu's family got up early, ate hand cakes, and then went to their old house.

"Later, just say you didn't have breakfast and see what my grandma says." Bai Ruozhu quietly came up with a bad idea.

Lin Ping'er glared at her, "No need to ask, are you deliberately blocking your breasts?"

Bai Ruozhu laughed twice, "It's all our hard work anyway, why can't we get some interest back?"

The whole family laughed and decided to listen to Bai Ruozhu and really say that they had not eaten breakfast.

Sure enough, after arriving at the old house, Mrs. Bai was stunned when she heard the door being called. When she opened the door, she asked, "Why are you here so early? I haven't even cooked any food."

"Brother asked us to come early. We got up before dawn." Bai Yihong replied honestly. After he said that, he glanced into the yard and saw that the old lady, the old man and Bai Ruolan had gotten up. Wang was dozing outside. He left, but no one else saw him, so he obviously hadn't gotten up yet.

The old lady's face drooped, "You're here so early, have you eaten yet? I don't have much preparation."

"Didn't Big Brother ask us to come early to help in the fields? Didn't Mom forget to prepare breakfast for us?" Lin Ping'er asked deliberately.

"Why don't you ask your elder brother to send a message earlier? At my age, I still have to wait until dawn to serve you and cook for you? I owe you what else? It's because you are unfilial!" Eating the old lady's breakfast was like killing her, so she immediately started shouting.

Lin Ping'er snorted disdainfully. Look, Ruozhu guessed it right. The old lady was really stingy.

The old man, who originally wanted to pretend he was not awake yet, felt that it was really outrageous, so he shouted in the main room: "The second brother's family came to help early in the morning. You can make some porridge for them. Don't go out and let others talk."

The old lady said reluctantly: "The porridge has been cooked, and there's not much left. It's too late to go to the ground to cook more. Who told them not to tell me earlier?"

The old man sighed heavily and said, "I won't eat it. You can give mine to the people who go to the fields to eat."

As you say, who dares to starve the old man and steal his food?

"Grandpa, we don't want to eat, you just have to eat well." Erlang said loudly. Then he went to the wall to get tools and said, "Grandpa, it's getting late. Let's go to the fields first. You asked uncle and Saburo to come early to help. It's busy farming season and we haven't gotten up until now. It won't sound good if the news spreads."

To help Lao Zhai go to the ground, you naturally need to get Lao Zhai's tools. Bai Yihong and the others also went to get the tools and were about to go out, but the old man coughed and said, "Saburo will be there later, and you can assign work to him. "

"What about my uncle?" Bai Zehao couldn't help but turn around and asked.

The old man hesitated, "Your uncle is in poor health. Didn't he just get admitted as a scholar? He's not good at going to the fields either. He can't help much if he goes there, but he loses face."

Bai Zehao didn't want to hear this and didn't go out. He went directly to the main room and said, "Grandpa, my second brother is also a scholar and is the head of the case. Isn't the second brother also going to the ground in the same way? If you say so, you will lose face. Then My second brother can’t go to the ground anymore?”

The old man was choked by what he said. He felt sorry for his eldest son. Bai Yibo's temples have turned a little gray recently. His father doesn't even have gray hair. How can he not feel sorry for him?

"Do you think you're going to point fingers at me just for helping me? If you don't want to help, forget it, and always target your uncle for whatever you do? I know you blame your uncle for talking nonsense after drinking, but didn't he apologize to you? As a family, People who don’t have an overnight feud don’t know where they learned the chicken intestines!” The old man pointed at Bai Zehao and cursed.
