Chapter 339

"Come back with Ru'er, sister-in-law is afraid to wait." Bai Zhi said to A Wu.

A Wu responded and led Ru'er out.

Ru'er didn't know why her father was happy, but seeing her father happy, she was happy, and since her father and mother brought her here, they became more and more happy.

Baijia

Bai Erzhu came back from the city with a bag of rice in his hand.

Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Bai were gossiping in the courtyard, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Bai Zhen were sitting on the other side choosing wild vegetables.

Seeing Bai Erzhu entering the courtyard from outside, Mrs Liu quickly got up to greet him: "Second brother is back, you're exhausted, I'll get it."

She reached out and took the rice bag in Bai Erzhu's hand, weighed it in her hand, and frowned immediately: "There's a bucket of rice here? I don't think there's even half a bucket." She remembered that her mother-in-law gave two hundred copper coins to her. Bai Erzhu asked him to buy a bucket of rice and bring it back. If there was any remaining money, he was not allowed to spend a single penny, he had to take it back.

Bai Erzhu gave her a sideways glance, and said angrily, "I'll give you two hundred cents tomorrow, let's see if you can buy a bucket of rice and come back."

The old lady got up, took the rice bag from Mrs. Liu's hand, weighed it in her hand, and said, "This is at most half a bucket of rice, what's the matter? Didn't I ask you to buy a bucket of rice? What about the rest of the money? "

Bai Erzhu said: "The price of rice has gone up again, but it's not the same price as before. Now it's a penny and a bucket of rice. If you give me two hundred cents, naturally you can only buy two hundred cents of rice."

I didn't think much of it before, but now, he was really annoyed by the faces of these two women, and the two looked at him like a thief.

"What? The price has gone up again? The refugees are gone, how can the price go up?" Liu Shi was obviously not awake, staring suspiciously at Bai Erzhu with his triangular eyes.

Bai Erzhu was too lazy to tell them this, so he went straight to the chair and sat down: "I don't know. If you don't believe it, go to the town tomorrow to find out if I, Bai Erzhu, lied to you."

Seeing that Bai Erzhu was unhappy, the old lady Bai gave Liu a quick wink and motioned her to stop talking about it. This is not something that is unclear. Today, it is not only Erzhu who went to the town to buy rice, but also the old Li family. My second son also went, and it will be clear if I go to ask for a while.

The old lady Bai put the rice bag back into Liu's hands, walked to Erzhu and sat down, smiling: "We didn't mean that, don't think about it."

Bai Erzhu didn't say anything, turned his face to look at his wife and daughter. The wife and daughter were sitting not far away to choose vegetables, while Liu was chatting with his mother, and the work at home seemed to have nothing to do with her.

He felt more and more uncomfortable.

Mrs. Bai said: "I asked Sun Laosi today. Their land is next to ours. He said that the wheat from our two families is ripe, and they will start harvesting tomorrow."

Bai Erzhu raised his eyebrows: "Then let's start harvesting tomorrow."

Mrs. Bai hurriedly nodded: "Yes, yes, I think so too. Tomorrow, if you go early with your wealth, I will let your daughter-in-law deliver meals to you, so that you can save time on the way back and forth."

Bai Erzhu asked, "I'll take the rich and famous? Just the two of us?"

Liu Shi said: "Originally Dabao was going too, but he's not feeling well for the past two days, I'm afraid he won't be able to go, so he can only let you and Fugui go first, don't worry, wait for Dabao to get better, I will let him go immediately. He's going to help you."

"Help us? What sister-in-law means, this work is for our second house, and Dabao goes to work to help our second house? Will the recovered crops belong to my second house?"
