"Okay, I must have hidden it." Bai Tian hurriedly hid it in his arms. After thinking about it, he felt it was not safe, so he simply took off his shoes and put them under the insole.
Zhang Lingzhi looked dumbfounded, "Aren't you afraid that your sweaty feet will soak the Tianqi to pieces?"
"Yes, no, no, no." Bai Tian hurriedly took it out again, wondering where to hide it.
"Dad, don't be too nervous. The government also has records. It only costs a little money to get a replacement." It was rare for Bai Banxia to see his father so nervous, so he couldn't help laughing.
Bai Tian kept shaking his head, "That's not possible, we can't waste money."
He walked around the house for a long time before finding a suitable place to put it.
"I did some calculations. Our family can sell more than fifty pancakes and fruits a day, and it can reach one hundred when we go to the market. Our ingredients are all collected in the village, and the cost is lower. On average, we can earn two to three yuan each. Deboned meat and fat sausages
There are about thirty bowls a day, and you can earn three cents per bowl. After deducting the management fee of the stall and the loss of tools, you can earn about six taels of silver every month."
Bai Banxia calculated the accounts for this period with her parents, and said, "Of course if it's cloudy or rainy and you can't go out to the stall, you'll have no income."
"Good guy, I haven't even calculated it carefully. I thought we would only earn enough to eat in a month, but I didn't expect it to be quite a lot." Bai Tian said happily.
"That's because no one is competing with us for business. We don't know what will happen in the future, but it will definitely be no problem to improve our family's life. We can even cover Brother Erlang's tuition." Bai Banxia held her father with one hand and her mother with the other.
, "You are so powerful now, you can support your family and provide a scholar."
Bai Tian and Zhang Lingzhi's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they couldn't close their mouths with laughter.
"It's just that it's too hard to work from early to late. When my doctor's work is stabilized, my family will have an extra fixed income. Then we can stop doing the pancake business. Mom and dad, you can have a good rest." Bai Banxia added.
"no!"
"no!"
Bai Tian and Zhang Lingzhi shouted almost in unison, both of them a little anxious.
"That's not possible. I just found something I'm good at. I don't want to be idle at home." Bai Tian said.
"Yes, we are so happy to be able to support our family. Please don't compete with us for your daughter," Zhang Lingzhi also said.
They are not lazy people in the first place, and they have suffered a lot in recent years. What they want more is a sense of self-realization and satisfaction.
Although they have to get up early to do small business, they are not too tired. In addition, they are in good health now and feel quite energetic doing some work every day.
"Then when Qi Zhen and I are away, there will be less people to help you with the work, so don't sell the meat and intestines for now." Bai Banxia thought for a while and said.
"That's okay." Bai Tian and Zhang Lingzhi agreed.
Early the next morning, the Bai family got up early and got busy, and Bai Banxia checked their luggage again.
She originally only wanted to bring a medical kit and a change of clothes, but she didn't want her mother to stuff her with a bunch of things.
Some dry sesame cakes, because she was afraid she would be hungry on the road. Some candied melon seeds, because she was bored on the road. There were also socks to protect her waist, because she was afraid she would catch a cold outside, and even a storybook, said to relieve her boredom on the road.
"Take it with you, I'll help you get it." Qi Zhen came over and said.
Facing her mother's expectant eyes, Bai Banxia still couldn't bear to refuse, so she had to take them all.
After saying goodbye to their families, Bai Banxia and Qi Zhen first helped their parents set up a stall in the town, then went to a cloth shop, picked out some cheap and durable fabrics, and asked Boss Cheng to help deliver the stall to their parents.
Afterwards, they went to meet Sun Ci as agreed. Sun Ci had already arranged a carriage and was waiting for them to set off.
The three of them got on the carriage, and Sun Ci asked something casually. When he calmed down, he regretted it a little.
Bai Banxia sat in the innermost part of the carriage. Qi Zhen went over to sit next to her, while he, an old man, sat across from the two of them. Then he saw a pair of handsome men and beautiful women. Even if they didn't speak, they were as beautiful as a painting.
Similar.
Sun Ci sighed silently, he should have arranged two carriages, why do they have to be an eyesore here?
The carriage was driving on the road, making a grunting sound. Bai Banxia wanted to chat with Qi Zhen, but when he saw Sun Ci closing his eyes and concentrating on the opposite side, he thought that the old man probably hadn't woken up yet, so it was better not to disturb him.
So, she took out the storybook prepared by her mother and read through it.
The storybook is old and worn, probably from a secondhand shop. It is too luxurious for ordinary people to buy new books, let alone this kind of storybook for leisurely reading and playing.
I didn't expect it to be a love story. It tells the story of a young man in trouble who gets help from a peasant girl and vows to marry her. However, the young man's family looks down on the peasant girl and says that she is only worthy of being a concubine.
The young master and the peasant girl were forced to separate, but the young master was a deeply affectionate person, and he committed suicide in grief...
Later, the peasant girl put a shroud on him, went to express her condolences as his wife, and then crashed and died in front of the young master's soul.
"My mother was deceived and bought such a bad story." Bai Banxia couldn't help but muttered.
Qi Zhen had been leaning next to her to read the content. When he heard what she said, he also whispered: "This man is so useless."
"Yes, since you have made a promise to someone, you must find a way to solve the problem and fulfill your promise, instead of committing suicide to escape reality." Bai Banxia was particularly disdainful, "To be affectionate without regret is obviously cowardly and irresponsible."
Qi Zhen nodded again, "I am not responsible for women or my family."
"Farmer girls are also hopeless. Can't we live without love in this world? Her parents and relatives must be so sad when she dies in such a collision." Bai Banxia felt that the hero and heroine were simply stupid.
"What are you reading? Show me." Sun Ci became interested and reached out for the book.
Bai Banxia didn't hand it to him, "You'd better not read it. It's such a boring story. Any other story I can tell would be more interesting than this one."
"Look at what you can do. Do you think you are a storyteller?" Sun Ci didn't believe it.
Qi Zhen had never heard Bai Banxia tell a story before, so he became interested and said, "Then tell it and listen."
Although she was obsessed with medicine in her previous life, she didn't stop reading other books at all, right? And she read books very quickly. She had read a lot of modern literature and popular online novels.
So, she told the story of "Legend of Sword and Fairy". Li Xiaoyao, a waiter in a small fishing village, went to Fairy Island by chance and met Zhao Ling'er, and then started a fantasy experience of slaying demons.
Speaking of Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru's agreement to "eat and play together until we grow old", Bai Banxia suddenly stopped.
"That's it for now, and we'll talk about it later."
Sun Cike was anxious, "No, there's no half-truth. Can't you simply tell the ending?"
"The storyteller often listens to the decomposition next time. Why can't I tell half of it? Besides, if I tell you the ending directly, you still have to chase me and ask why this happened and what happened in the middle?" Bai Banxia curled her lips,
Dozens of episodes of a TV series, even the game version takes a while, how can it be finished in a matter of minutes?
Sun Ci was a little sad, "Then who did Li Xiaoyao choose?"
