After meeting the Wang family, Bai Banxia and the others said goodbye and left.
When she reached the door, she paused and then said to Mrs. Wang: "It doesn't matter how many times you have been married, or whether you have children. Your life is your own. There is no need to be humble. Only when you stand up for yourself can you live a good life."
.”
Wang was stunned in place, and it wasn't until Bai Banxia and the others walked away that she came back to her senses, regretting that she didn't respond.
The woman from the Lu family said: "What this girl is saying is that you underestimated yourself first and then let others bully you for nothing. You have to stand up first before you can protect your child."
"I understand." Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth. She had already felt sorry for a daughter. There was also a daughter at home who was learning to speak, so she could no longer be weak.
On the other side, Bai Banxia and the others were on their way back, while Xiao Cao didn't talk much and seemed to have no energy.
Bai Banxia wanted to coax her with a piece of candy, but then she remembered that the candy had been given to the Lu family woman.
"Is Xiaocao unhappy?" she asked.
Xiaocao tilted her head and smiled, "No, I'm just a little sleepy."
Qi Zhen carried her on his back, "If you feel sleepy, take a nap."
"Thank you, brother." Xiaocao smiled.
Bai Banxia breathed a sigh of relief, it was just fine that Xiaocao was not unhappy.
When they got home, Xiaocao was playing in the yard and happily called Auntie Li. After receiving the water poured by Mrs. Li, she said sweetly: "Thank you, Auntie!"
Seeing that the child was in a good mood and still lively and happy, Ms. Li was secretly relieved.
After leaving Xiaocao to play by herself, Li asked Bai Banxia to ask about the situation. Bai Banxia explained everything, and Li was relieved.
"It's not easy for Xiao Cao, I hope she can live a better life in the future." Ms. Li thought for a while and asked, "Xiao Cao's surname will be Bai from now on. Do you want to change her name?"
Bai Banxia also thought about it. She didn't want to forcefully deprive Xiaocao of the name given by his mother, but the current name always made people think of "a child without a mother is like a grass", which was too pitiful.
After thinking for a long time without any clue, Bai Banxia suddenly thought of Qi Zhen, who was better at naming than she was.
"Qi Zhen, if you want to change Xiaocao's name, what should she change it to? It's best not to completely lose her current name." Bai Banxia said.
Qi Zhen thought for a moment and then spoke: "Orchid grass is medicinal and fragrant. The flowers are small but luxuriant. Although there is only one word difference, it is much more special than grass."
"White orchid grass?" Bai Banxia remembered that orchid grass, also known as Peilan, is very beautiful and can also be used as medicine.
She laughed and said, "That's good. I can still call her Xiaocao by my nickname."
Qi Zhen was praised and smiled brightly. He washed his face as soon as he got home. Now his face is clean and handsome, which is a bit eye-catching. Such a smile can instantly attract people's soul.
"Don't smile at other people outside." Bai Banxia's heartbeat skipped a beat, silently cursing the disaster.
"I know, I don't look like a good person when I smile." Qi Zhen still said with a smile.
Bai Banxia also laughed, "It's good that you know."
While the two were talking, Baitian and the others came back from the stall. Brother Erlang was so tired that he was sweating profusely. When he entered the door, he said, "I know how hard Uncle San and the others have worked. I can't even push that cart a few steps."
Bai Tian ignored his nephew's compliments and glanced straight at Qi Zhen. As soon as he entered the door, he saw that boy smiling at his daughter. That smile could really charm all living beings. Although his daughter was already mentally smarter than girls of the same age.
She is much taller, but she is still a little girl. What should I do if I am seduced?
"Why are you giggling? Why don't you go to work!" Bai Tian walked up to Qi Zhen and said.
"Dad, Qi Zhen helped Xiaocao think of a new name, Bailancao, does it sound good?" Bai Banxia was happy with the new name Qi Zhen thought of, and also praised him on the way.
But hearing these words made Bai Tian's ears a little harsh, and he became more and more worried. It was over, it felt like his daughter was not only being seduced, but her heart was also abducted.
Bai Tian pulled Bai Banxia aside and said, "Daughter, come here, dad has something to ask you."
"What's wrong, dad?" Bai Banxia followed him to the side and asked softly.
"Someone asked about your marriage today. What do you think? Is there anyone you like?" Bai Tian kept staring at his daughter's expression, wanting to see if her daughter was in love.
Unexpectedly, Bai Banxia gave him an angry look and said: "Who is so boring? You are not busy. Why do you always worry about other people's marriages? Didn't I tell you? I want to make money and don't have time to get married. Let's wait for two years for our family.
Once you have money, you can just recruit a son-in-law."
She was thinking that it would be impossible to remain unmarried for the rest of her life. Let alone ancient parents, modern parents could not accept this idea, so she simply said to wait for two years and then talk about it at that time.
Bai Tian saw that she was not shy at all and spoke very frankly, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his daughter was either in love with her or not at all.
But just because his daughter is not enlightened doesn't mean that others don't care about her. It would be safer for him to keep a close eye on Qi Zhen.
When Bai Tian just walked away, Qi Zhen ran to talk to Bai Banxia again.
"I just went to the backyard and saw Xiaocao alone..." He paused, his voice was a little low, "Crying quietly."
Bai Banxia felt a pain in her heart, thinking of her own childhood.
Grandma You told her that when she first entered kindergarten, most of the children were in high spirits for the first two days, but then some would always cry. One would cry and want to go home, and the whole group would start crying too.
But Bai Banxia never cried, until one day the teacher found her crying alone in the corner. When she noticed the teacher coming, she quickly wiped her tears quietly and continued playing with toys pretending to be happy.
The teacher found out several times and was so distressed that he quietly called Grandma You.
She had no memory of what happened in the kindergarten, but Grandma You’s eyes turned red when she said it. It’s really heartbreaking to say that your child is so sensible.
She didn't understand Grandma You's mood when she talked about this before, but now she understands.
Xiaocao was afraid that they would worry, so she pretended not to be affected, but in the end she couldn't bear to leave her mother, so she hid and cried quietly alone.
"I'll go see her." She whispered.
Qi Zhen pulled her sleeve and said, "You pretend not to know that she is crying."
"Yeah." She nodded and walked towards the backyard.
If Xiaocao knew that she would know if she cried secretly, Xiaocao, a sensible child, would not even dare to cry anymore, fearing that everyone would be worried about her and hold everything in her heart.
She adjusted her mood, walked to the backyard and said happily: "Xiaocao, I just discussed with my brother and gave you a new name."
Xiaocao wiped her face quickly and turned around with a smile on her face, two small pear dimples showing at the corners of her mouth.
"What's the name?" she asked with a smile.
Bai Banxia pretended not to see her reddish eyes, went over and took her little hand and said: "Orchid grass, white orchid grass, doesn't it sound good?"
She picked up a twig, wrote the word "lan" on the ground, and drew an orchid grass next to it.
"Look, this is the orchid grass. It's very beautiful when it blooms. I'll go pick the medicine later and see it, so I'll pick it back for you." She added.
Xiaocao clapped her hands and said, "Lancao, I like this name."
This time her laughter was like a silver bell, she was really smiling happily.
