Chapter 250 The Gap Has Long Existed
"Since mother thinks that taking care of the fields is a life-threatening job, why do you strongly oppose big brother to do it?"
Bai Yunsong looked at his stubborn look and his face turned cold.
"How do you talk to mother, second brother? Do you still have any respect?"
"Respect? Sure enough, in big brother's eyes, I am a servant, a slave, and a long-term worker. I deserve to be a cow and a horse for this family for the rest of my life."
Bai Yungui pulled the corner of his mouth, his eyes full of ridicule.
"Just now, when big brother was talking to father, his voice was louder than mine, and he dared to slam the door and slap his face at father. Can big brother do it but I can't?"
The matter just now was mentioned to his face by his second brother, and Bai Yunsong's face was a little embarrassed. Thinking about his behavior just now, it was indeed inappropriate.
Now that his second brother used it as an excuse, he really couldn't refute it.
For a while, the atmosphere was a little awkward.
"Ahem..."
Just when the few people were deadlocked, the old patriarch coughed and knocked on his pipe.
"What are you talking about? We are a good family, what are you two doing?"
"Dad, look at my second brother's stubborn temper, he won't listen to anything."
Bai Yunsong watched his father speak, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
He is the eldest son in the family, and the successor that his father has carefully cultivated. Besides, he is already the patriarch of the Bai family.
If it weren't for filial piety, his father's words would only be his reference.
After the death of his parents, the second brother's family will be separated, and no matter how close they are, they will only be two families.
The old patriarch looked at his two sons staring at each other, and sighed in his heart.
"Just do what you should do, why are you standing in front of me? It makes people dizzy."
Things have come to this point, so they can only calm down first.
By the way, he also thought about how to ease the relationship between the two brothers.
If it really doesn't work, he can only consider dividing the family.
No matter what, he can't let the two brothers turn against each other and become a joke in the family.
If that really happens, he will be incompetent in teaching.
Bai Yunxi didn't know that her words had caused a commotion in her uncle's house for most of the day, and had exposed the rift between the two brothers.
At this time, she was busy with her family. Today, they were going to make cassava flour at home and not go into the mountains.
There were two large vats in the backyard, one for storing mashed cassava, and the other for filtering cassava flour with cotton cloth.
The second brother and his wife were responsible for mashing the cassava roots, the fourth and fifth were responsible for adding water and stirring, and Bai Yunxi and Du filtered the cassava flour.
The family divided the work and cooperated tacitly, and filtered out all the cassava in most of the day.
Looking at the two jars of turbid water, Li smacked her lips.
"Mom, can we make cassava flour in this way?"
Bai Yunxi nodded.
"Yes, after filtering, let it sit overnight, the starch in the water will automatically settle to the bottom of the jar, then pour out the excess water, and the remaining will be all white cassava flour, and then take out the cassava flour and dry it."
Li nodded, "It's quite simple."
Du pointed to a pile of cassava residue next to her and looked at Bai Yunxi.
"Mom, are these residues still useful?"
Bai Yunxi was stunned after hearing Du's reminder.
"We don't have pigs or livestock at home. If we do, these cassava residues can be used as feed for pigs after fermentation."
"However, it can be used to make fertilizer, which is not a waste. Just pile it there, and transport it to the field after half a month, mix it with the pine branches in the field, and use it as farmyard manure."
