Chapter 686 Purchased Another Property
The tea is wild camellia they picked in the back mountains. It has thick strings and is not very pretty in appearance, but it has a refreshing taste, a strong floral aroma, and a good refreshing effect.
If you drink one cup a day, your breath will not feel like blue, but your mouth will not smell bad all day long and it will be very comfortable.
With a pot of tea and two pieces of jujube cake on her belly, Baiyunxi squinted and soaked up the sunshine.
Chunhua, who came back from picking vegetables next door with a basket in hand, saw her boss looking so comfortable and lazy, with envy in her eyes.
Look, this is how people live.
Unlike them, they get up to work before dawn, eat the coarsest grains, wear the shabbiest clothes, do the most tiring farm work, and must always be careful not to offend others.
Once offended, you don't even have the ability to resist.
She had been soaked in bitter water. Looking at her employer's life, she felt not only envy but also infinite emotion in her heart.
If she was allowed to live like this for a day, even if she died, she would still be able to smile and close her eyes.
"Chunhua, bring the vegetables in." Just as she was imagining, Du's voice came from the kitchen, bringing her back to reality from her imagination.
"Hey~, here we come."
People are different. She is a miserable person. How can she be blessed and enjoy happiness?
Chunhua entered the kitchen with a basket, and Bai Yunxi opened her eyes, raised the corners of her lips and smiled.
It is indeed not easy for people to change their destiny, but as long as they work hard, there is still a chance. Even if you fail in the end, you will regret it even if you try hard.
In the past few years, they traveled through the mountains and forests in order to get a bite to eat. Their shoulders were bruised and their feet were blistered. They endured the ridicule of the villagers and worked hard with their buttocks stuck out. They drank as much water as they could and sweated.
The opposite of bitter is sweet. They used their hands to move all the way from the shack to the big yard.
People in the world are forgetful. Everyone admires their big yards and says they are lucky, but they forget how hard they work.
For lunch, Du Shi made steamed dumplings with tapioca flour skin and two kinds of fillings, one with bacon shreds and radish, and one with tofu, eggs and vegetables.
The transparent cassava skin wraps the filling, which makes it appetizing.
Baiyunxi tasted one stuffed with meat, and the rest had vegetarian stuffing, paired with sour soup, two words, comforting.
This was the first time for Chunhua to eat such exquisite food, and seeing everyone taking it for granted gave her a big shock.
It turns out that not only does the host live well, but the food he eats is also exquisite. She had never eaten such food in her life.
Listening to Chunhua's thoughts, Baiyunxi looked at her again.
Tapioca flour is just an accessory for making snacks here, and few people use it for cooking. It was she and Du who suggested making the stuffing crust. After trying it twice, she found the trick and made it very attractive.
"Chunhua, you have already been to the back hillside. After dinner, you can deliver the food later. I have already prepared it. It is on the chopping board in the kitchen."
Du looked at the spring flowers and explained softly.
"Hey~, I'm done eating, I'll go now."
Chunhua stuffed the last mouthful into her mouth, drank the soup in one breath, and got up to go to the kitchen.
"You girl, don't be too hasty, be careful of choking."
Du looked at her, shook her head helplessly, went to the kitchen with her, picked up a piece of floral cloth and covered the bamboo basket.
Chunhua looked at a jar of sour soup, five or six white flour steamed buns in a bamboo basket, and seven or eight tapioca steamed dumplings separated by oil paper.
"Are these meals sent to the fields?" This food is so good, even better than what their family eats during the Chinese New Year.
Dad would go back occasionally and said that the food was good, but she and her mother didn't care. They only thought that dad was comforting them and said it deliberately.
When they met today, she realized that her father really didn't lie to them.
Du Shi looked at her surprised eyes and chuckled,
"Your dad and the others are doing heavy work, so they have to eat some pasta to fight hunger. Just steam the dumplings as a side dish."
"You are really kind owners, my father was right."
Chunhua said gratefully, carrying the jar and basket to the back mountain.
Du sent her out and imitated Chunhua's tone from her mother-in-law.
"This girl Chunhua looks very down-to-earth and good-looking. It would be great if she stayed at our house. Moreover, she is also good at needlework."
"If she hadn't been good at embroidery, she wouldn't have caught Zhao Bazi's eye. She's not young anymore, and she will get married in a year or two. Even if she is kept, she won't be able to work for long."
In order to avoid Zhao Bazi, that girl was willing to come to the house and become a slave. If the difficulty is solved, you may not be willing to do so.
She acquiesced at the time that she just wanted to give her a place to stay.
Now that Zhao Bazi has received his comeuppance, there is no need for her to keep anyone around anymore.
Hearing her many emotions today, Baiyunxi suddenly thought to himself, instead of taking in a girl in distress, it would be better to go to the human tooth market to buy a few maids and come back to serve her.
Many of the people bought from the human tooth market have been taught the rules by the people in the tooth market.
It doesn't take much teaching to be able to perform the duties of a maid.
Therefore, she will only temporarily take Chunhua in for a few days and will not let her be sold into slavery.
Listening to her mother-in-law's tone, Du Shi was stunned for a moment, then smiled,
"Mom was very considerate. During our chat, Chunhua told me that if Zhao Bazi hadn't caused any trouble, her marriage might have been settled."
"Just because Zhao Bazi made trouble, the other party is afraid of getting into trouble and the marriage will be ruined."
Hearing Du's tone, Bai Yunxi was stunned, "I haven't heard of this."
In this way, she is even less likely to leave people behind, and it is easy to develop enemies if she is not careful.
While they were talking, there was a knock on the door.
The moment he saw Zhao Yalang, Bai Yunxi immediately stood up and welcomed him to the corridor to sit down and drink tea and rest.
"Zhao Yalang has worked hard all the way. Let's have a cup of tea to cool down first."
"It's okay. It's not hot yet since midsummer."
Zhao Yalang drank a glass of water and explained his purpose directly.
"Yesterday, I went to see Mr. Wang to convey my sister-in-law's request. At that time, Mr. Wang was not happy and said that the price he wanted was not high and it was impossible to reduce the price."
"I saw that his attitude was not good, so I didn't force him. I just took the message and went back. I wanted to let him calm down and go to talk again today. Unexpectedly, Mr. Wang came to the brokerage to find me at lunch and said that he agreed to give away the spring wheat."
Bai Yunxi listened and smiled slightly.
"It's good to agree. Four guan per mu is also the market price, which is not too low. I want spring wheat, and I don't want to make any mistakes or conflicts in the middle of the process."
"Sister Bai is still thoughtful. When do you think the transfer is appropriate?"
Zhao Yalang echoed. He is a broker and can only get commissions if the transaction is successful.
"Since both parties have no objection, the sooner the better. I will go to the town with you to go through the formalities and get the land deed."
Bai Yunxi asked the second brother to harness the car, and she went back to the house to prepare, and the two went to the town together.
"Aunt Bai, I'll go with you."
Wen You appeared from nowhere and stood in front of Bai Yunxi.
"You didn't get a good rest last night, so get a good sleep at home, and then go to the town to get half of the land deed, it won't be a big deal."
