Chapter 182 Let’s have a good chat

Bai Ruozhu looked at his back as he left in a hurry, feeling that he seemed to have fled. Did she ask something wrong?

After thinking about it, she couldn't guess it. In addition, she felt that it was not her turn to worry about the Du family's affairs. She was a little rough in some aspects, so she put the Du Zhongshu matter behind her and continued to eat happily.

She had to pay attention to etiquette when Du Zhongshu was here just now, and she felt particularly uncomfortable eating. Now she was alone in the private room, and she could eat as she wanted. She could eat sitting, kneeling, or lying down as she pleased.

After eating, she went to the blacksmith shop and bought an iron pan for making hand cakes when setting up a stall. She also bought some other necessary tools, and then made a donkey cart back to Houshan Village.

As soon as she got home, Lin Ping'er complained, "You said you, a mother, don't care about me. The child is so hungry that you are still coming back so late."

Bai Ruozhu blushed, handed the things in her hand to the eldest brother who came over, and said, "I met Mr. Du in the past and came back. He invited me to have a meal and talk about selling toothpaste later."

Upon hearing this, Lin Pinger immediately put away her stern expression. It seemed that she had a good impression of Eucommia ulmoides.

"Master Du is back? Why did you ask someone to treat you to dinner? It's your turn to thank them. They saved your life!" Lin Ping'er said naggingly.

Bai Ruozhu shrugged her shoulders, "I think so too, but restaurants like that are very expensive for people to eat in. People like us who are farmers shouldn't be too big, lest people be embarrassed to order."

Lin Ping'er thought about this and said, "Then invite Mr. Du to have a good meal at home some other time. Anyway, the people in the village think he is a friend of Changsheng, so they are not afraid of him coming to our house as a guest."

Thinking of Du Zhongshu's strange behavior today, Bai Ruozhu made a few random promises, but thought in her mind that it was better not to disturb her recently, as she might have something to worry about.

She hugged the crying Deng Deng with distress, then turned around and went back to the house to breastfeed. This child was sensible and not fussy, but he would cry terribly when he couldn't get enough milk. Bai Ruozhu started to think about it, what to do after setting up the stall? Does she go to town with Dengdeng every day?

At this time, children were not as precious as modern ones. Many dolls would already follow the adults to the fields when they were lying in the bamboo basket. When the adults were working in the fields, they would lie in the bamboo basket and sleep.

Dengdeng was very satisfied with the milk, but there were still tears hanging on her eyelashes, which made her look particularly pitiful. Bai Ruozhu touched his little face to express comfort, and she began to blame herself in her heart, blaming her for not estimating the time well. If she had come back a quarter of an hour earlier, Dundeng wouldn't have cried so hungry.

Probably because he was tired from crying, he fell asleep after a full meal. Bai Ruozhu gently put him on the bed and walked out quietly.

In the yard, her father and elder brother were making a cart for setting up a stall. Bai Yihong knew carpentry, so he made the cart for the stove. Now he set up the stove, put it on the iron pan and tried it, and found that it worked very well. .

So the family decided to set up a stall.

"I think we will prepare the ingredients today and set up the stall early tomorrow morning. If you register in the yamen, you will have to pay monthly. If we are late, we will lose a day's money." Bai Ruozhu is a hard-working person and a talker. With a do-it-yourself personality, I immediately thought of setting up a stall.

Hand cakes are not troublesome to make, but you need to prepare the noodles and ingredients in advance. In addition, the bone soup can be simmered the night before, so it is not difficult to set up a stall the next day like Bai Ruozhu said.

"Okay, let's take action at night. We won't make too much on the first day. Even if we can't sell out all the food, we can still eat it and it won't be a loss." Lin Ping'er said.

Bai Ruozhu laughed, hugged her mother's arm and joked, "Oh, mother, do you have no confidence in me? You haven't even started yet, and you're already thinking about losing money."

Lin Ping'er also smiled and gave Bai Ruozhu a false slap, "Mom, I just said it, but I still feel that it will be easy to sell."

"Yes, I don't get tired of eating it every day, so why is it so hard to sell?" Bai Yihong said with a smile.

Lin Ping'er rolled her eyes at him, "In the old house, you used to eat whole grains every day, weren't you still not bothered?"

Bai Yihong scratched his head and said, "If you're not annoyed, then there's nothing you can do about it. If you don't eat, you'll be hungry."

Bai Zehao also laughed and said, "Yeah, I didn't think much of it before, but compared with what our family eats now, it's really like pig food."

When the pig food was mentioned, Bai Ruozhu and her mother looked at each other, and they both covered their mouths and laughed. Bai Yihong followed with a silly laugh, not knowing that his wife and daughter had secretly arranged his words.

He said that Bai Yihong used to be more tired than the cattle, but his food was not as good as the pigs that Lin Ping'er raised now. Bai Ruozhu couldn't help laughing because of this. Of course, it was more because she felt sorry for her father. Fortunately, now Life is getting better.

The family chatted and laughed for a while, and then Bai Zepei came back. Lin Ping'er told Bai Zepei about setting up a stall tomorrow. Bai Zepei immediately said: "Then I won't go to your husband's place tomorrow and will help you set up the stall." There are definitely a lot of things to do in a day.”

Bai Ruozhu immediately shook his head when he heard this, "Second brother, it's a good thing that you want to contribute to the family, but your most important task now is to study. I also hope that you will enter a good school and go to the big cities with you to eat and drink. "

Bai Zepei frowned, "I don't have any inconvenience. Our family doesn't pay attention to face and style like those in the old house."

Bai Ruozhu felt that she had taken the time to talk to her second brother in private, so she pulled him over and said, "Second brother, come and accompany me to the east end of the village to buy a piece of tofu."

Bai Zepei nodded and followed out. Bai Yihong whispered to Lin Ping'er and Bai Zehao: "The second brother is always worried that he is not contributing enough to the family, and he is always afraid that he will become a freeloader like his uncle. I think this makes me feel uncomfortable. "

"It's okay, my little sister's advice will definitely work." When Bai Zehao mentioned his little sister now, his tone was full of pride.

Bai Ruozhu didn't take her second brother to the tofu shop, but went to the back mountain where there were few people, saying that he could pick up some firewood and go home.

Even though Bai Zepei is wearing a straight jacket, he is willing to do farm work and collect firewood. Bai Ruozhu also knew what he was thinking, so she felt even more sorry for this young and mature second brother.

"Second brother, there is something I haven't mentioned to my parents, but I think I should discuss it with you first." Bai Ruozhu whispered as he walked away.

Bai Zepei was not in a good mood and hummed in a low voice.

Bai Ruozhu knew that he was listening and continued to talk, "Now grandpa is becoming more and more partial. I don't know what will happen in the future. I don't want to stay in the village anymore."

"Huh?" Bai Zepei looked up at Bai Ruozhu, seeming a little surprised. People at this time have a deep-rooted thought, especially farmers, who are unwilling to leave their hometown.

Bai Ruozhu looked at him and smiled, and said, "So I want to achieve some results in my business. If my parents see that there is a way to make money at home, they might agree to go to Fucheng with you."
