Chapter 312 Thank you to the whole village

"You are right, we will invite the whole village." Lin Ping'er nodded and said.

Bai Yihong was a little worried, "Do we have enough money?"

Both of them looked at Bai Ruozhu at this question. Bai Ruozhu said with a smile: "It's enough. If it's not enough, I won't suggest it like this. Mrs. Laifu and I made hats for people and took a deposit. I'll pay it later." The goods can pay the final payment, and there is also the money our family earns from selling hand cakes, which is enough."

Bai Yihong breathed a sigh of relief, "This time it was really an unforeseen disaster. We also spent a lot of money. Fortunately, Zepei is fine."

"Yes, as long as the second brother is safe, I am willing to go bankrupt, and even the eldest brother will definitely be willing." Bai Ruozhu said, her eldest brother will go out to cut pigs and grass and chop firewood. He said that he has been busy these days, and the pigs at home are busy. He was so hungry that he was running out of firewood, so he quickly went to get some while he had nothing to do.

Lin Ping'er and Bai Yihong were both very happy. Lin Ping'er touched Bai Ruozhu's hair and said, "Seeing that you three brothers and sisters are so united, my parents feel happy in their hearts."

Bai Ruozhu smiled at her parents and said, "Even if you have nothing to do, take care of your second brother. Don't let him bully me all the time and touch my forehead at all times. How can you act like an older brother?"

Bai Ruozhu deliberately mentioned this matter when she saw that her parents had not recovered from their mood. Sure enough, both of them couldn't help but laugh after hearing this. Bai Zepei looked steady, but he liked to flick Bai Ruozhu's forehead erratically, which made the family members laugh.

Suddenly the atmosphere at home became better again. Bai Ruozhu smiled and said she was going to cook. Lin Ping'er also got up and said, "I'm also going to prepare some ingredients. Let's set up the stall in the afternoon to prevent all the regular customers from running away."

Bai Ruozhu didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this, "Mom, can't you rest for half a day?"

"I've been resting for three days, and my bones are itching. Besides, we have to spend a lot of money on hosting a banquet, so we have to make money quickly." Lin Ping'er said, her eyes shining, looking very motivated.

Bai Ruozhu saw that she was so motivated and couldn't stop her. He had to tell her to prepare less ingredients and they would close the stall early in the afternoon so that she could cook a thank you banquet for Mr. Xie and his wife.

After leaving the main room, Bai Ruozhu saw Xiao Si squatting in the yard, using a small branch to write and draw on the ground. She didn't want to interrupt him, so she quietly walked behind him to see what he was writing, but... I saw Xiaosi actually painting, as if he was painting a big family like them.

Because there were so many people in the painting, he painted Bai Yihong and Lin Ping'er at the top, standing side by side. The mouths drawn in simple strokes were curved, representing a smile.

Then in the middle of the lower row was Bai Ruozhu. She could tell it at a glance, because in the painting she was holding a little baby Deng Deng in her arms. It's just that Xiaosi drew three hairs for Dengdeng, which reminded Bai Ruozhu of "Sanmao" and couldn't help but laugh.

The short child next to her is Xiaosi, who also drew a crooked mouth for himself to represent his good mood. On both sides are Bai Zepei, Bai Zehao and Fang Guizhi.

Because the paintings were really simple and made up of connected lines, Bai Ruozhu couldn't tell which one was the eldest brother and which one was the second brother. She couldn't help but ask.

Xiaosi noticed that she was behind her when she was smiling, and said with some embarrassment: "The one wearing a straight jacket is the second brother."

Hey, this kid has good observation skills. Bai Ruozhu nodded, thinking that he painted very well. Even though he had no painting skills, he showed the characteristics of each person.

"Does Xiaosi like painting?" Bai Ruozhu asked softly.

Xiaosi nodded, "I like it, but it's just a waste of paper."

Bai Ruozhu smiled and rubbed his little head, twisting his hair into a chicken coop, "Fool, I'm rich and can afford your paper."

Xiaosi's eyes lit up when he heard this, but then he lowered his head, "No, it's too wasteful."

This child was really considerate. Bai Ruozhu thought for a moment and then said, "Then let's buy the cheapest toilet paper, okay? It won't cost much."

The color of the papyrus paper is too dark, and it is easy to smudge. Literati would not use it to write or draw, but it is enough for Xiao Si to paint on, and she can help Xiao Si make charcoal, so she is not afraid of smudging.

Xiao Si thought for a while and finally nodded. If he draws on the ground, it will disappear soon. But if he draws on paper, even the worst straw paper can be preserved. He can still show it to his sister at night. .

Bai Ruozhu smiled and rubbed Xiaosi's head again, and said, "You go and play for a while, wash your hands and eat later."

"Okay." Xiaosi smiled. He hadn't eaten the food cooked by his sister for several days.

Bai Ruozhu was very happy that the smiles on Xiao Si's face were getting more and more. She thought that before long, Xiao Si would be able to fully open his heart.

When she walked into the kitchen, Fang Guizhi was busy working in the kitchen, with a happy smile on his face. He didn't even notice Bai Ruozhu coming in. He seemed to be very absorbed in thinking.

Bai Ruozhu wanted to chat with her, but Lin Ping'er followed immediately. Bai Ruozhu couldn't say anything, lest her mother would have any objections to Guizhi again and it would be difficult to live together in the future.

She must persuade Guizhi carefully, and then help her look for a good family next year at the latest. Bai Ruozhu doesn't want to help Guizhi look for a good family now. On the one hand, she is afraid that people in the town will talk too much, and Guizhi's mother will get involved again after getting the news. On the other hand, her family will move to Beiyu City soon, and she still wants to take Guizhi to find a good family in Beiyu City, so that the two sisters can see each other regularly in the future.

Thinking of this, she started chatting casually with Guizhi. Guizhi was in a good mood and kept chattering.

"By the way, I met your brother's wife." Bai Ruozhu was upset before and hadn't told Guizhi about it yet.

Guizhi's expression changed, and the smile that originally hung on his face disappeared.

Bai Ruozhu said quickly: "Listen to me, let me continue. That woman has your brother obsessed with her. Your mother asked her to pour us a cup of tea, but she couldn't help it, but she was so angry. I think she deserves it, so let her It’s okay to suffer.”

"My brother likes it very much. I didn't expect such a big arrogance." Guizhi's face became better again. Just like Bai Ruozhu said, she also felt very relieved.

"And I think that woman is not very honest. Your brother will suffer a loss sooner or later. This is called retribution." Bai Ruozhu said with a wicked smile.

Guizhi was already used to Bai Ruozhu's evil smile, and she also started to laugh evilly along with Bai Ruozhu. Lin Ping'er looked at the two of them and sighed in her heart, that girl Guizhi was going to be ruined by Ruozhu.

The three of them helped each other and soon the meal was almost done. Bai Ruozhu brought the dishes to the table and heard footsteps in the east courtyard. She knew it was her second brother who was back, so she went over to open the door with a smile. When she saw the person coming, she couldn't help but be stunned...
