"Not to mention, after working for a long time, my stomach is really empty. Brother Yunshan, don't make fun of me. I really have to beg for a meal here today."
Baiyunshan laughed,
"What did the two brothers say? I invited you to come. There is no reason to ignore the food. Please come with me to the village. It's just a simple meal. You two brothers don't mind."
"I don't mind, I don't mind, just put some rest on my stomach."
However, when the two of them entered Bai's house, they both looked stunned. It was indeed a noble family, indeed.
Following Baiyunshan into the main room, I felt a lot of emotion when I looked at the table of food in front of me.
Chicken, fish, stewed and shiny pork, a combination of meat and vegetables, very rich, it makes people want to be greedy.
"Brother Yunshan, this is too polite of you as a lady. We brothers really deserve this richness."
What the two of them did was work in the mountains and countryside, receive salary from the court, and serve the court. They would bring their own dry food every time they went out.
Of course, when we met the houses of landlords and squires, we would entertain them, but we would not be so attentive.
This is how human relationships are built, and only when they are mutually beneficial can they last long.
"Ah, so many?" Du Shi was surprised.
In a place like the countryside, two hundred coins is already a lot.
Even though she is the head of the family, because of her sensitive status, it is not easy to treat her too much to avoid being gossiped about.
The town was either big or small. Just when she and Wenyou were walking around, they met an acquaintance again.
As he said that, Baiyunxi raised his head and drank it down.
Although the second child is a bit clumsy in other matters, he is still very smart when it comes to work.
After a bowl of egg custard, Baiyunxi's stomach finally felt comfortable. He sat on the small bench, held his chin and sighed,
"From now on, that twenty acres of sloping land belongs to our family."
The family is busy and she doesn't have time to go back to her parents' house, so she doesn't have to face her mother, brother and sister-in-law too quickly.
"It's just a little effort, you're welcome."
The whole process takes ten days. Baiyunxi is still very satisfied with this time, which shows that the efficiency of the town government is pretty good.
Listening to Mrs. Du's voice, Baiyunxi was stunned. Mrs. Du was so resistant to her mother's family?
She didn't have many memories of the Du family, but one thing she knew was that it was true that the original owner had no good impressions of the Du family, including Du, who had a grimace on his face.
He repeatedly patted his chest and promised her that he would apply for the land deed for her as soon as possible and would not delay their start of construction.
"Well, if you want to speed up the process, you really need to hire someone. I'll discuss this with An Yan later and listen to his opinion."
Sure enough, when the two of them left in a drunken state, they kept praising their brother and sister for their good conduct and that they were both cheerful and open-minded people.
Although this was her own home and no one would tell anyone about it, she was careful because she didn't want to be pointed out wherever she went.
Mrs. Du thought for a while, if she was in charge of the food, she would definitely have to do the cooking. There are several people in the family, and if it comes to carrying a spoon, no one can do it.
It had been a long time since they had had meals like this.
If you meet ordinary people, if you don't prepare your own dry food, you will only starve.
My mother-in-law was busy working all the time and didn't have time to eat. She had already prepared it.
According to the process, after the yamen survey is done, it needs to be reported to the county for archiving, and then the land deed will be issued.
"I'd like to toast you two. It's hard for you two to make the trip. A little wine is not a sign of respect. I hope you won't be polite."
"If I ask people from the village to work, I'll probably have to take care of the food. So I won't go back to my parents' house yet. It won't be too late to visit relatives after the slope is sorted out."
Seeing her being so bold, the two of them turned to look at Baiyun Mountain and laughed.
"Brother Yunshan, your cousin is really a hero among women. Anyway, in this case, we brothers will not be polite to you. From now on, we will treat each other as brothers and sisters. Sister Bai family, thank you for your hospitality today, we will do it too."
Qin Dongjia held two pieces of cloth and thanked Wenyou repeatedly. When he raised his head, he was stunned. When he turned his head, he saw Bai Yunxi standing next to him. He looked stunned and smiled bitterly.
"Thank you for your help, girl, thank you..."
The family has added another piece of land. Although it is the least valuable slope land, it is still a great joy for their family.
"Mrs. Bai, you are laughing."
Look at the soft and tender egg custard and smell it, the aroma is overflowing.
Baiyunxi invited several people to sit down, filled the wine bottles for them one by one, and then raised the wine glass to signal to them,
"Go and help."
Seeing her mother-in-law's happy expression, Mrs. Du also laughed and said, "When the land deed is obtained, shouldn't it be time to start construction?"
She also started early. When her duck farm is built, it will definitely attract attention. If anyone follows suit and wants to enclose the surrounding land for breeding, maybe the land will be speculated.
In order to celebrate, Baiyunxi took Wenyou to the town to do some shopping after breakfast the next day, and also prepared souvenirs for the two daughters-in-law when they returned to their parents' home.
"That's right, let's straighten out the slope before it freezes. Although it doesn't require any major changes, when it comes to building a factory, some places need to be leveled."
Seeing Mr. Qin’s family picking up cloth in a panic, Bai Yunxi glanced at Wenyou,
Don't underestimate people in this period, they are all smart.
"It's quite big, but it's cheap. It's only 100 cents per acre, and it's 20 acres of sloping land. You can get it for two cents. It's a great deal."
Even the daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law, who usually basked in the sun and did embroidery work in the yard, went back to their houses when they knew there were guests at home.
Baiyunxi Wine Glass put down his wine glass, asked Baiyunshan to take his second son with him, and left with an excuse.
Bai Yunxi went to the kitchen to take a look, and Mrs. Du came over wearing an apron.
"Mom, do you need to prepare anything else? I've stewed egg custard for you and it's been heating in the pot."
Du Shi nodded, "Does that mean we need to hire artificial intelligence?"
"You don't need to prepare anything in the main room, it's enough to eat. I'm really hungry. It's so considerate."
She had to ask Xiaosi to check this matter later. Du was her daughter-in-law and the family she lived with. If she lived with a sad face every day, her own family's life would also be difficult.
There was lively chatting and laughing in the main room, and the banquet broke up after the meal was full. Baiyunxi stuffed each person with a red envelope of two hundred yuan to express his gratitude and to save face for his cousin.
It was Qin Dong's family in Buzhuang. I don't know whether it was due to lack of skill or absent-mindedness. The wheel of the ox cart ran over a stone, and the cloth loaded on the cart was scattered on the ground.
With that said, the two of them also drank the wine.
Seeing the tiredness in his eyes, Bai Yunxi nodded. After Wenyou helped him pack the cloth, the two of them turned around and left when they were stopped by Qin Dong's family.
"Madam Bai, wait a minute...it was my wife who offended me last time, so I'm here to help you."
Qin Dongjia said, bowing his hands and looking a little embarrassed.
"We both know that Zhuangzi's affairs have nothing to do with you. Even if you didn't buy it, someone else would have bought it... We just can't accept it."
