Regarding Xiang'er, Bai Song feels that time can dilute everything.
Bai Song also hopes to see Xiang'er angry, at least this is the emotion a woman should have. He doesn't think ancient women should compromise.
Now that he had made his choice, Bai Song had already expected that everything would not go well.
Back in Mang County, there are so many things to do.
After going through this, the aggressive energy in me was gone, and I became more convinced that what I needed more was power. If I wanted to settle down, I couldn't do it without power.
Now is the time when the power of the Youzhou gentry is at its weakest, and he must make good use of this time.
With full of longing, Bai Song left Lin Mansion.
In Mang County, he still has a home, and there are two girls at home who he cares about.
Today, a large army entered the city, frightening the people to close their homes. When the army left, no news came out in the city.
No one knows where this army came from, why it entered the city, or where it went.
That's fine, Bai Song doesn't like to be the center of attention.
When we arrived at the courtyard gate, there was still no plaque on the courtyard, but the painted walls had some new ideas, and a few out-of-season wintersweet branches poked out from within the courtyard walls, indicating that there were always people living inside.
"Da da da..."
Bai Song took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
This is my own home. I haven't been back for a long time, and I suddenly feel a little uneasy.
When I meet Sang Sang and my sister, I guess I will have to watch the two girls cry and listen to their complaints, right?
Bai Song hadn't figured out how to comfort him yet, nor did he know how to apologize.
Just as I was thinking about it, the door opened.
It was Uncle Qu who opened the door.
When the uncle and nephew saw him, they were stunned at the door.
Uncle Qu pointed at Bai Song and asked in surprise: "Is this the wise nephew back?"
What surprised Bai Song was that Uncle Qu's back was hunched, he was holding the door all the way, he had lost a lot of weight, he was sickly, and he looked completely different from what he remembered.
"Uncle Qu, you...what's wrong with you?"
Uncle Qu smiled, knowing that Bai Song was talking about his back: "It's okay, I just got injured when I went to the ground not long ago."
Bai Song was startled: "Uncle Qu, come quickly and let me have a look."
Bai Song entered the house and saw no one in the courtyard, except Uncle Qu.
"Where are Sangsang and the others?"
"They all went to the fields." Uncle Qu sighed, "Hey, it's all because of me, a useless man. After I injured my waist, I couldn't do the work, so I left all the girls in their family to do it."
"Go to the ground?" Bai Song was a little surprised.
"Sang Sang said, those are the potatoes grown by Bai Xian's nephew? They were harvested a month ago. A small vegetable garden harvested more than three hundred kilograms. I tried that stuff and it was pretty good. It was a meal.
Eat three to five and you will be full all day without being hungry."
Bai Song was happy when he heard this, but he still wanted to check Uncle Qu's waist injury first.
But after watching it, Bai Song felt that things were a bit tricky.
There is a slight dislocation in Uncle Qu's spine. It must have been caused when he was injured. He did not receive any treatment and forced himself to let the injury repair itself. Now that the spine has adapted to the dislocated state, it would require a major operation to reset it.
.
This is not a simple project, and it cannot be completed under the current conditions.
Bai Song only said that it was a minor injury, so as not to worry Uncle Qu, and temporarily used acupuncture to relieve Uncle Qu.
Uncle Qu was lying on the bed. Bai Song was injecting needles and asked, "The potatoes are really harvested? Where are they?"
Uncle Qu narrowed his eyes comfortably on the bed and whispered: "There are still some left in the kitchen in the backyard, and the others have been planted in the fields outside the city. Oh, old man, I finally understand, no wonder Xian
My nephew wanted to buy so much land. I heard from Sangsang that my nephew used one potato to grow more than 300 kilograms of potatoes in just over two months. These more than 300 kilograms of potatoes were then planted in the fields.
After three months, another tens of thousands of catties of potatoes will arrive."
"Sang Sang has already planted the potatoes?"
"Yes, these potatoes are good, but there are too many fields for our family to grow them."
"Uncle Qu, your waist was also injured by growing potatoes, right?"
Uncle Qu smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. With this kind of potato, the family has hope and will never be afraid of going hungry again. A little injury is nothing."
Bai Song felt guilty. What Sangsang thought was right, but he never thought about having his own family do everything himself.
The last time they harvested fields, the Bai Song family harvested all the fields in Mang County, as well as some fields in neighboring counties.
There are so many fields, not only sowing, but also turning the soil and fertilizing, which is a huge amount of work. It cannot be done by one household.
However, it is rare for Sangsang to actually think of his intention without mentioning it.
Just as I was thinking about it, a chirping voice came from outside: "I'm exhausted today, so don't feed me potatoes. If you eat them every day, you'll make me vomit."
As soon as he heard this voice, Bai Song knew it was Sang Sang.
Bai Song smiled at Uncle Qu: "I'll go out and take a look."
"Go ahead."
"Dad, we are back." Sangsang's voice had already reached the door.
Bai Song opened the door immediately. Aunt Qu and the two girls were stunned at the door, unable to react for a moment.
Bai Song held the two girls in his arms, one in each hand, and spun around excitedly: "Hahaha... You didn't expect that, did you?"
"Brother! Brother! You're back?!"
"Brother Bai...you...you are about to let go..."
Bai Song took advantage of his excitement and put the two girls down, and taking advantage of their unpreparedness, he opened his arms from left to right and kissed each of them fiercely.
This girl who came back from the fields had a earthy smell on her face, and Bai Song ate a mouthful of mud.
The expressions of the two girls were completely opposite. Bai Rou's pretty face flushed with excitement, she threw herself on Bai Song, pulled her brother's neck, kissed him on the face without hesitation, and bit her brother's ear with all her teeth.
Sangsang stood aside, lowering her head shyly, touching the side of her face that had just been kissed, and couldn't help wiping her tears.
The family was immersed in the joy of reunion without much sentimentality.
I haven't seen her in the past six months. My little sister has grown a little taller, but nothing else has changed.
Sangsang is still the same, but there are more traces of wind and frost on her face.
At night, Sang Sang reluctantly killed the hen he had raised for half a year. The hen that his parents would not let go of normally became the prey of Brother Bai.
The broken rice that sank to the bottom of the rice vat was also cooked into white rice. This was Sangsang’s greatest sincerity.
Bai Rou ate the rice and kept chattering: "Brother, you don't know, we haven't eaten white rice for a long time! It's potatoes, potatoes, potatoes every day... I feel like throwing up when I look at the potatoes. That is, they are stained with brother's rice."
Light, otherwise Sangsang would be reluctant to take out this little rice to eat!"
Sang Sang blushed and stuffed Bai Rou with a piece of chicken: "Here, it's for you, eat it quickly, no one will treat you as a mute."
Bai Rou chuckled: "Also, this little hen..."
Sang Sang panicked and covered Bai Rou's mouth. The two girls continued to fight and fight.
Only the Qu family and his wife were concerned about Bai Song's experience: "My dear nephew, where have you been in the past six months? As soon as you left, there was no news at all, which made me worried for a while."
Bai Song didn't want to tell them what he had experienced in the past six months, so he dismissed it and said that he had gone to another place.
"Sang Sang..." Bai Song shouted.
Sang Sang obediently stopped fighting with Bai Rou, sat up straight, and looked at Brother Bai longingly.
"Is your family so strapped for money? You can't even afford a bowl of rice?"
Sangsang looked ashamed and nodded lightly.
Bai Song took out two ingots of twenty taels of silver and put them on the table: "Nuo, cut them into pieces for daily use."
Bai Song took this silver from space.
One hundred and eighty taels of silver can be taken directly from space, but it is not a long-term solution.
Bai Song used to want to be a salty fish, but now he can't. He not only wants to protect himself, but also makes some achievements. Outside Youzhou, there is a girl waiting for him to marry.
To marry Li Jing's granddaughter as a concubine, isn't this a task of epic difficulty?
Not to mention entering the house, at least let your family look decent first.
Seeing Bai Song lightly take out two ingots of silver and slap them on the table, the Qu family couple were stunned for a while, thinking that this nephew Bai was really capable. No matter where he went, he could always make money.
Sangsang had something in mind, she just wanted to be Brother Bai's little follower and help him take care of the house honestly.
Now that the family has been injured, nothing has been accomplished in half a year, and the family's living expenses are not enough. In the end, let alone helping Brother Bai, Brother Bai comes to help. I am always so ashamed.
Seeing that no one was touching the silver on the table, Bai Rou took it over and said, "I'll cut the silver."
Seeing this, Aunt Qu quickly stood up and put away the dishes. She winked at her husband and they quickly walked away.
When Sangsang saw no one on either side, her tears began to fall.
"Sangsang, what's wrong with you?"
"Brother Bai, isn't Sangsang useless?"
"Where are these words?"
"Brother Bai has been gone for so long. Sangsang can't do anything to help him. He can't even look down on his family. Even Bai Rou is suffering with me."
It’s not good for the girl to be too well-behaved and obedient. Every move she makes makes people feel distressed. Bai Song doesn’t like to say gentle words, but at this moment, he has to hold the girl carefully, pat her back, and comfort her gently:
"Sang Sang, it's my brother's fault that you suffer and work in the fields every day. Are you still blaming yourself so much to shame Brother Bai into the cracks of the ground?"
"Brother Bai..."
"Okay, don't think too much. You will always be the best and most obedient girl in Brother Bai's heart. If you call me Brother Bai, Brother Bai will naturally care about you. Don't work hard in the future. Brother Bai wants to
You can safely be a young lady, not a little country girl who loves to cry."
"Brother! It's so disgusting!"
Bai Rou jumped out from behind at some point, and Sangsang was so frightened that she almost shrank under the table.
Bai Rou took the broken silver and stuffed it into Sangsang: "Here! Madam in charge, the silver my brother gave you must be kept well."
"What...what boss...eldest lady..." Sang Sang blushed and slapped Bai Rou's little hand.
"Huh! You don't have the final say in this house? What's the point of not being the head lady? Now that my brother is back, you can't be so stingy with me! You don't even let me eat a bite of candy on weekdays."
Sang Sang blushed so much that she counted the pieces of silver and stared at Bai Rou: "Not enough! There are still one or two more."
Bai Rou blushed: "Well, then...then what's wrong with me leaving a few pocket dollars?"
"Hahaha..." Bai Song smiled, feeling the relief he had rarely seen in months, "Okay, okay, you spend as hard as you can. If you spend all your money, I still have it here."
