"Sister, are you getting married?" Xiaocao asked innocently, "With whom? Brother Qi Zhen?"
Bai Banxia's face suddenly became hot, and she reached out and tapped Xiaocao's forehead, "Children, please don't talk nonsense. This is what my sister is going to give to her future second cousin. My grandma's second cousin is getting married soon.
Then let’s go have a wedding banquet together.”
Xiaocao stretched out her little hand and rubbed the forehead she touched. Her little hand became a little fatter and had a little flesh pit, making it extra cute.
"Then when I learn how to make a headband, I will also make one for you when my sister gets married." Xiaocao said seriously.
Bai Banxia was amused, "Okay, you learn slowly, my sister doesn't want to get married too early."
Xiaocao tilted her head and was a little confused. Can you decide by yourself whether to marry or not?
But it seems that if others can't, her Banxia sister can.
Xiaocao was very good, neither noisy nor noisy. He watched her draw quietly for a while and then went to bed. After her mother finished her work and went back to the house to sleep, Bai Banxia rubbed her neck and put away the paper and pen.
.
She had never made such a complicated tiara before, so she had to think carefully about it.
Early the next morning, the family went out to the stall as usual. After closing the stall and going home, Qi Zhen suddenly said that they were going to catch fish.
"Do you want to eat fish?" Bai Banxia asked puzzledly. It seemed that Qi Zhen never cared about food and clothing, even when she was still greedy for meat, but Qi Zhen never mentioned it.
It seems that he was born in a poor family or suffered hardships, so he could integrate into rural life so quickly, Bai Banxia murmured in his heart.
"I remembered that I had grilled fish for the little milk cat before, maybe I could recall something," he said.
"Then go quickly." Bai Banxia put down the things in his hands and accompanied him.
It was impossible for the two of them to fish slowly, so Qi Zhen cut down a branch, sharpened one end, and slowly walked into the river.
Bai Banxia was a little stunned. She couldn't help but think of being thrown into the river just after she crossed over. The water was quite cold.
"It's getting cold, don't soak in it for too long and catch a cold," she said.
The corners of Qi Zhen's mouth curved slightly, he put a hand behind his back and gestured towards her, knowing what he meant.
The next second, the branch in his hand was thrust out and suddenly plunged into the water. With a crash, the branch was lifted out of the water, and a fish was stuck on one end.
The fish is not dead yet, its tail is twisting desperately and water droplets are fluttering.
Qi Zhen jumped ashore, shook the water from his pants, and said, "Let's find a place to make a fire."
The two went to the foot of the mountain and found some dry firewood to light. Bai Banxia thought for a while and said, "I forgot to bring some seasoning. You roast it first, and I'll go back and get some salt and pepper."
Not to mention, when she saw the fat fish, she drooled a little and wanted to eat the delicious grilled fish.
Not wanting to wait until she went back to get the seasonings, Qi Zhen had almost finished grilling the fish. She looked at the oily grilled fish and her face turned dark.
"Are you just grilling fish like this?" She was completely depressed. She had overestimated the delicious grilled fish.
"Otherwise?" Qi Zhen was puzzled.
Bai Banxia's face turned even darker, and she put her hands on her hips and said, "Don't you know how to shave off the fish scales? You don't even remove the internal organs. Is this how your family eats fish?"
"Do you need it?" Qi Zhen looked at the fish and then at her. Doesn't it smell fragrant?
"Okay, okay, if you don't think you need it, just give it a try." She stood still, looking like she was watching a good show.
Qi Zhen was a little hesitant, but after all, it was the fish he grilled. He tore off some meat, uh, no, it was meat with fish scales, and put it in his mouth.
Bah... He spit it out soon, frowned and said, "It's so fishy."
Bai Banxia gave him a big eye roll, "So I have to scrape the fish scales, remove the internal organs and fish lines before grilling it."
"Uh..." Qi Zhen was a little embarrassed, "Then I'll catch another one."
Bai Banxia looked at his newly dried pants and said, "Take your trouser legs higher so they don't get wet again."
"Okay." He rolled up his trouser legs and went into the river. Bai Banxia shouted again, "It's better to put down your trouser legs."
His trouser legs were rolled up, and the scars on his legs were exposed. What should he do if someone saw him?
Fortunately, Qi Zhen had quick eyesight and caught another fish, but it was much smaller than the previous one.
Alas, it’s better to have something than nothing, right?
This time Bai Banxia came to handle the fish. She demonstrated how to scrape the scales and remove the internal organs. Qi Zhen watched carefully and finally nodded, "I learned it."
When the fish was grilled again, Bai Banxia felt that he needed to take back his previous thoughts. Qizhen was definitely not from a poor family. What child from a poor family couldn't clean up the fish?
The fish is sprinkled with salt and a little bit of chili, which instantly enhances the flavor.
"Okay, you try it." Bai Banxia cut the fish into two and gave him half.
"Yeah." Qi Zhen took a bite and his eyes lit up, "It's delicious."
"Isn't it delicious?" Bai Banxia glanced at him complainingly, "I didn't even look at who grilled it. I really didn't expect you didn't even handle the fish."
The tips of Qi Zhen's ears turned red, "I know now."
Bai Banxia snickered, forget it, it's better not to ridicule him.
The fish was too small, so the two of them lost it within a few bites, but it was enough to satisfy their cravings, and Qi Zhen dried his trouser legs before returning home.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of the hospital, I heard the old lady crying and shouting.
"I'm not alive anymore. Are you all going to piss me off to death? My poor dear, why did you end up with such a wife and give birth to such a loser?"
In the room, Bai Tian supported the old lady to calm her down, and persuaded her in a good voice: "Mom, don't be anxious whenever something happens. Let's talk slowly. It's not a big deal."
"Isn't it a big deal? You don't even have a son, but you have to raise a daughter for someone else? You are just drunk by your wife and daughter. There are so many people in the village, why are you meddling in other people's business?" the old lady yelled.
.
"I just feel sorry for my daughter. My daughter is so considerate, doesn't my mother also love my sister the most?" Bai Tian coaxed her with a smile.
The old lady looked a little better when she mentioned her daughters. She gave birth to three sons, and one daughter was named Bai He. She was born one year earlier than Bai Tian and married into the Jin family in Beiling Village.
Bai Hefu's family was wealthy, and he gave birth to a son and a daughter, and his life was going very smoothly.
Bai Banxia understood clearly at the door that the old lady knew that her parents wanted to adopt Xiaocao and refused to agree.
She strode into the main room. When the old lady saw her, her face dropped, and her yellow eyes stared at her fiercely, as if she had done something outrageous.
Bai Tian winked at her hurriedly, "Don't make your grandma angry here, get to work quickly!"
"What kind of work are you doing?" the old lady yelled, running to the door with small steps, and blocking the door with her body, "Speak clearly here, otherwise you won't be able to go anywhere!"
Bai Banxia was helpless, this matter would eventually be solved.
"Tell me, did you encourage your father to adopt Liu Xiaocao? His surname is Liu and your surname is Bai. Do you have a bad mind?" the old lady yelled.
