Chapter 690 A Small Barbecue

Also, as a landlord, if you make it difficult for the tenants, it's because they are incompetent.

"You did a good job. As the old saying goes, there must be something hateful about pitiful people. Some people really can't be spoiled, and they are easy to get ahead of others. As long as we are right, we don't need to pay attention to others. It is said that poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people. Although we are not too poor here, it is not surprising that there are a few black sheep."

"Having said that, most people are still good. Some people are poor but have backbone. But for those who are poor in heart, no matter how you compromise, there is no cure."

As he said, Bai Yunxi looked up at his son and curled the corners of his lips.

"So, now you have to learn to make yourself tough, especially not to be soft-hearted. Being tough can save you a lot of trouble."

In the eyes of some people, they always think that poor people are hard-working, pitiful, and easy to feel pity.

Unfortunately, the price of soft-hearted compromise is not only loss of profit, but no one really appreciates you.

If the poor bully others, they will not be soft-hearted at all, and sometimes they will become more and more cruel.

Listening to his mother's teachings, Bai Anyan nodded, "Don't worry, mother, I will study hard and become a qualified boss."

Today, Sister Wen has taught him a lesson. When the tenants knew that he needed to change the rent documents, the eyes of Wang Huzi and his brother made him extremely uncomfortable.

It felt like a dog staring at bones and a wolf staring at meat, which made him feel creepy.

However, his mother was right. He had to adapt sooner or later and make himself stronger, especially not too soft-hearted.

Some people are used to using pity to gain sympathy.

He had seen this several times when he was managing Xiaofang Village. Every time he couldn't help but be soft-hearted and compromised, and in the end his mother had to step in to get rid of the people.

In the past, he felt that he had also come from poverty and could understand their suffering the most. Therefore, every time someone asked, he would agree, again and again. The tenants in Xiaofang Village privately said that he was a soft egg without his own opinion.

It's right to ask him for help when you have something to do. This is what Wang Liang mentioned to him inadvertently, asking him not to be too easy to talk to sometimes, so that people with ulterior motives can easily take advantage of him.

Listening to the second child's self-reflection, Bai Yunxi drank a cup of tea, and then got up to light the charcoal fire with his daughter. Since they were going to have a barbecue, it would be fun if everyone worked together.

In addition to grilled fish, grilled ribs, and beggar chicken wrapped in mud, paired with some vegetables and mountain mushrooms, it would be a delicious meal.

At dusk, the whole yard was filled with a strong aroma of meat.

"Grandma, let's have grilled fish." Yaya held a fish and sent it over. It was burnt and golden, and it looked appetizing.

"Good boy, it smells so good."

Bai Yunxi took it and took a bite. The fish meat mixed with spices stimulated the taste buds, and a sense of satisfaction could be born from the bottom of her heart.

"Yaya, go eat too. Be careful of fish bones."

"I like grilled mushrooms."

The little girl ran over with a smile, picked up a bunch of grilled mushrooms covered with sauce, and ate them with relish.

These are all picked by them in the mountains. They are very fragrant and are also the main ingredients for stewing chicken.

"Oh my god, I can smell it from a long distance. I know you are making delicious food again."

Song Wang came in with a basket of tribute vegetables. Looking at the scene in the yard, she looked at Bai Yunxi with a smile,

"Other families hide their delicious food, but your family can smell it from a long distance."

"Come and eat it when you smell it. Am I afraid of you?"

Bai Yunxi put down the wooden stick and wiped his hands with a towel, "Jing girl, get a fish for your Aunt Song."

"Hey~, I'm coming. "

Bai Anjing has been squatting beside the charcoal fire, turning the sweet potato slices on the grill. She also likes those meats, but she will get tired of them if she eats too much. However, she likes this pepper and salt sweet potato slices very much.

"Auntie Song, try it, it's freshly grilled."

"Okay, then I won't be polite." Song Wang took the grilled fish on the skewer, squinted her eyes and smelled it, took a light bite, and couldn't help but admire it.

"Only you can come up with new ways to eat it, unlike us, even if we want to eat it, we can't do it. "

Other families were even more reluctant.

During festivals, the family would buy some meat and cut a few slices to stew. No one dared to be as wasteful as them, and they just roasted it on the fire.

The charcoal fire was covered with oil, making a sizzling sound, which looked wasteful.

No wonder the fragrance could be smelled from a distance, it turned out to be the oil falling on the charcoal fire.

Listening to Song Wang's thoughts, Bai Yunxi looked at her with a smile, "I haven't gone fishing by the river for a while. There are many fish today and the weather is hot. I can't keep it for a long time, so I just roasted it."

It's boring to roast fish alone. When there are many people and diverse tastes, the food is diverse, which makes people like it. The combination of meat and vegetables is also refreshing.

In addition to their family, including the two long-term workers and Shu Renchunhua, they are all hard-working people with big appetites.

"I stewed the two fish sent by Mrs. Du into soup, which is very fragrant. My father-in-law always praises you as a talent. "Song Wang chuckled and took a bite of the fish.

She was so shameless to eat the fish sent by Yunxi all the time.

"By the way, I brought this tribute vegetable from my mother's home. If you can't finish it, you can peel it, dry it in the sun and pickle it. It can be used as a side dish or as dried vegetables in winter."

Bai Yunxi looked at the long tribute vegetables in the basket and nodded, "Okay, I'll ask Du to clean it up and pickle it later."

She had eaten pickled tribute vegetables before. They were crispy and were very good as a small side dish for porridge in the morning.

"By the way, did you know? Chen Jiao asked a matchmaker to propose marriage to Xing'er. The matchmaker came today." Song Wang approached Bai Yunxi and spoke in a low voice.

Bai Yunxi was stunned and nodded, "This is a good thing. Xing'er is not young anymore. It will be bad for her to delay for too long."

Finally gave up, this is the best, and they will live their own lives in peace in the future.

"You are right, Xing'er is a good-looking girl. As long as she lives a quiet life, she will be fine." I hope she will not make trouble, get married and have children, and her life will be fine.

Song Wangshi only mentioned it for a while, and then changed the topic to talk about something else.

After eating a fish, Song Wangshi took out a handkerchief to wipe her hands, poured out the tribute vegetables, and left with the basket. Bai Yunxi brought her another grilled fish,

"Take it home for Maihua to eat. After the girl got engaged, she didn't go out anymore."

Maihua is the same age as Xiaosi. Song Wangshi arranged her daughter's marriage a while ago.

The man is in Shangwan Village, which is also Maihua's grandmother's home. Marrying to the grandmother's door, there will be someone to protect her and she won't be bullied.

"The girl has grown up and knows how to be ashamed. She has been staying at home doing embroidery work and won't go out even if she is chased away."

She used to run to Yunxi's place at any time, but now she doesn't move even if she is urged.

"She must be anxious to embroider her dowry."

Bai Yunxi chuckled. At this time, it was common for girls in the countryside to get married at the age of 17 or 18.

"I want to keep her for another year. I originally wanted to set the date in the fall of next year, but they are urging us to do so. We decided to set the date in the spring of next year. March is not too cold or too hot, so it is feasible."

"Spring is a good season." Bai Yunxi nodded and sent Song Wang out.
