As soon as he entered the town, he met Zhao Erlang who was carrying a pole.
Next to him, there was a middle-aged woman, dressed in a navy blue cotton dress, with a blue floral scarf on her head, holding a vegetable basket in her hand, with a few green onions in it.
When Zhao Erlang saw Baiyun Xi, he quickly put down his pole, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and grinned.
"Sister-in-law Bai, you are in town."
"Oh, what a coincidence, I met an acquaintance as soon as I entered the town."
Bai Yunxi smiled, looked at the woman beside him, nodded,
"Who is this?"
"This is my mother-in-law, Mrs. Cui." Zhao Erlang introduced with a smile.
"It turns out it's the big girl who caused you trouble last time."
Mrs. Cui also knew about the loan of her yard. When she saw Baiyun Xi, she was stunned for a moment and then realized what she was doing. She smiled and waved her hand.
"I've heard of Sister-in-law Bai a long time ago. Since we're all acquaintances, you don't have to be polite. My aunt often talks about you in front of us. It makes me happy to mention it. I've always wanted to meet you in person. Last time Sister-in-law Bai borrowed the courtyard,
I just happened to go back to my parents’ home and missed it, which was a pity for a while.”
In the past two days, every meal at home has a plate of scrambled eggs, and the children are very happy.
"It's better to be famous than to meet her. Sister-in-law Bai seems to have an extraordinary bearing at first glance. Today we are officially acquainted. If anything happens in the future, just come to our house and we will walk around often."
Is it such a coincidence? I asked you at the doorstep?
Seeing Bai Yunxi's surprised eyes, Ms. Cui raised her head and laughed.
"Ouch... I'm scaring you. I have such a fickle personality. I've had it for half my life and I can't change it. Please bear with me."
Mr. Cui is a talkative person at first glance. Generally, such a person is basically a news tree.
Baiyunxi: "..."
Sure enough, listening to Bai Yunxi's tone, Cui slapped her thigh,
"Isn't this a coincidence? My brother from my mother's side is the best ink master. His skills are passed down from generation to generation."
Zhao Erlang heard his wife's tone and agreed with him,
"Sister-in-law Bai, don't be surprised. Ms. Cui usually has a loud voice and she is used to it. But she is right. My uncle is very good at craftsmanship. He builds houses in eight villages around ten miles away. When it comes to ink masters, he is definitely the master.
Number one.”
Bai Yunxi looked at Cui's assessment and didn't care. She chuckled lightly and said,
"Thank you for your kindness. To be honest, I really have something to inquire about when I come to town today. While I'm passing by, I want to renovate my house at home, so I come to town to find an ink master with a good reputation."
The eggs left for my aunt, she said whether she wanted them or not, saying they were for the family to replenish their health.
Mrs. Cui said, looking up and down Baiyun River. Because she borrowed the house, she also thanked her with forty eggs, so this gift was not a pick-up.
Even Zhao Erlang said this, Bai Yunxi already believed it 70% in his heart.
"That's a coincidence. I'm so busy here, and it turns out that the noble man is right in front of me. I can't find him anywhere without wearing iron shoes. It takes no effort at all to get there."
"Oh, listen, you are really an elegant person. You can write articles when you open your mouth. In this aspect alone, we rough guys can't compare."
I heard from my aunt that this woman used to be a Juren lady, but her fate was bad. Juren died, leaving them orphans and widowers to live.
It is said that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. She has never doubted this. After all, people are a good family, and no matter how poor they are, they are still better than ordinary people.
