In the afternoon, the two of them entered Anyuan Town. The man was tall and handsome, and the woman was heroic. They became a landscape wherever they went, attracting the attention of many people.
"Would you like some pancakes..." Bai Tian was making pancakes when he suddenly heard the mother of the child next to him shouting, "My daughter, my daughter is back!"
Bai Tian hurriedly raised his head and saw two people riding tall horses coming this way in the distance. Because there were many people in the market, the horses walked very slowly, but the two people riding on the horses were a bit higher than the others and could be seen from a distance.
See, it's particularly eye-catching.
Bai Banxia dismounted, threw the reins to Qi Zhen, and ran towards his parents.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back!" she said with a smile.
"Daughter, please come back. Let me take a good look at you. You've lost weight." Zhang Lingzhi pulled the girl and said distressedly.
Bai Tian looked up and down worriedly, and then he felt relieved when he saw that his girlfriend's expression was still the same as before.
"Daughter, I miss my father so much!" Bai Tian expressed it better than his wife.
"Boss, your pancakes are all burnt." The guest couldn't help but remind him.
Only then did Bai Tian realize that the pancakes on the iron plate had forgotten to be turned over, and they already smelled of paste.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my daughter came back from a long trip. I was so happy that I forgot about it. I'll make another one for you. This one is for my daughter to eat." Bai Tian hurriedly turned the pancake over, but found that it was a little burnt and fell off.
It's still edible, but it's not easy to sell to customers anymore.
Bai Banxia smiled and leaned over and said, "I've been away for a few days. When I come back, will dad give you and me some battered pancakes?"
"Then give it to Qi Zhen." Bai Tian immediately changed his mind.
Bai Banxia laughed.
Qi Zhen also dismounted, led a horse to the side with one hand, and tied the horse to a pillar.
"Good guy, your daughter has gone out to do business and made a lot of money, right? These big horses are not cheap, and you can buy two of them at once." Someone among the guests said enviously.
It is not easy for farmers in this area to buy an ox to plow their land, and there are many oxen-carts and few horse-drawn carriages. Whoever has a horse is really a wealthy family, let alone two horses.
"I went out to see a doctor, and the horse was borrowed from a friend. I have to return it to him when I get back." Bai Banxia explained with a smile.
Zhang Lingzhi stopped paying attention to the stall and came over to touch the horse. While touching it, he said, "This horse feels different from a cow. By the way, my dear, when did you learn to ride a horse?"
"My master taught me, and I can learn it as soon as I learn it." Bai Banxia started braiding without batting an eyelid.
"My daughter is really smart." Zhang Lingzhi boasted happily, and then continued to watch the horses with an envious look.
Bai Banxia was amused by her mother's reaction and said, "Mom, I've been gone for several days, and you didn't ask me what was going on outside. How dare you love me that I'm not as good as a horse?"
"Hey, isn't there a lot of people here? I'll definitely ask again when I get home." Zhang Lingzhi retracted his hand in embarrassment, "Was the trip going smoothly?"
Bai Banxia laughed loudly, "There are many people now, let's talk about it when we get home."
"You bad girl." Zhang Lingzhi gave her daughter an angry look.
Bai Tian was so envious that his wife just went to see the horses and didn't come to help. He had to spread pancakes and collect money, and even if he wanted to take a look at the horses, he was afraid that the pancakes would get burnt again.
Du Sanniang and Hu Zi were also at the stall next door. Bai Banxia greeted them and then went to get a bag of pastries for Hu Zi.
"The things in this city are very precious, so we can't take them." Du Sanniang hurriedly scolded her son and refused to let him take it.
Although Huzi looked naughty, he was filial and sensible. He immediately put his hands behind his back, ran to the side and said, "Sister, take it back and give it to Xiaocao. I am a boy and don't eat cakes."
Bai Banxia simply put it on Du Sanniang's stall, "I'll give it to you and your mother to eat together. You guys have helped us a lot. A little pastry is just a thank you. If you don't accept it, then you're a stranger."
Seeing her serious face, Du Sanniang had no choice but to put it down and said to Huzi: "Thank you quickly, Sister Banxia and Brother Qizhen."
Huzi thanked him with a smile, but kept glancing towards the horse. He was a boy after all, and he loved riding horses.
After a while, Bai Shengyu came back with the purchased ingredients. Seeing Bai Banxia and Qi Zhen looking happy, he stepped forward and saluted them, "Sister, brother, you are back."
We haven't seen each other for a few days. Bai Shengyu has already put on the cotton-padded clothes that Bai Banxia bought before leaving. Because he is full and warm, his complexion has improved a lot, and his face is not so thin anymore.
It's just that people are still calmer than their peers.
"This dress is very well made, and it looks like it's not my mother's sewing work." Bai Banxia joked with a smile.
When Zhang Lingzhi heard this, she turned around and feigned anger and said: "I've only been away for a few days and I've already started making arrangements. It was your Aunt Fang who helped me do it. They all have Tiedan, Shunzi and Liuzi, and your aunt and Huzi Niang all help."
"There is strength in numbers, and within two days they all had them on, which made several children extremely happy."
Bai Banxia looked at Du Sanniang and wanted to thank her again, but Du Sanniang rushed to say: "Those children help me with a lot of work on weekdays. My contribution is nothing, so don't thank me again."
Already."
"No thanks, I'll give you a haircut during the Chinese New Year," Bai Banxia said.
Du Sanniang smiled and waved her hand, "I'm going to wear a headband, so don't waste your time."
On the other side, Hu Zi had already entangled Qi Zhen and carried him to sit on the horse. Qi Zhen lifted him up with one hand, making Hu Zi giggle.
"I'm riding a horse! I'm riding a horse!"
The guests looked so envious. Not to mention the children, many of them were adults who had never ridden a horse in all their lives. Of course, they couldn't ask others to ride horses like children, right?
Finally, when the pancakes were almost sold out, Bai Tian closed the stall happily and said: "My dear, my dear, please show me Malaysia."
"Let's close the stall and go home. When we get back, you and your mother can ride a horse together. Qi Zhen and I will hold it for you." Bai Banxia winked at Qi Zhen, "Can you pull it steadily?"
Qi Zhen smiled and said, "Who are you looking down on? It's not a problem for me to lead two horses by myself."
"Oh, then you might have been a groom before." Bai Banxia laughed.
The family closed the stall, and Bai Shengyu took the initiative to push the cart. Bai Banxia looked at him and asked: "Xiaoyu, can you ride a horse?"
Bai Shengyu nodded, "Learned."
Look at the people who come from wealthy families. It's no wonder they don't stare at horses with bright eyes like her father.
After leaving the town, Bai Banxia helped her mother get on the horse.
"Wait, wait, wait!" Zhang Lingzhi shouted, "It's kicked, I, I..."
"Mom, aren't you scared?" Bai Banxia couldn't help but laugh again.
Zhang Lingzhi's face turned a little red, "What am I afraid of? I just want to take a breather."
She couldn't get up like this, so Bai Banxia helped her from behind, and she ended up hanging on the side of the horse. The horse was probably a little impatient, so it snorted and moved around a bit.
"Ah..." Zhang Lingzhi exclaimed, no longer needing her daughter to support her, she climbed onto the horse's back and hugged the horse's neck.
Bai Banxia laughed so hard that she almost burst into tears. Looking at it again, her father got on the horse very neatly and sat upright. It looked like that.
"Uncle, please relax." Qi Zhen reminded him in a low voice.
If Bai Tian hadn't nervously crossed his legs, it wouldn't have been obvious that he was pretending to be calm.
"I'm very relaxed." Bai Tian said without squinting his eyes.
Qi Zhen also smiled, "Then pull the reins and let's go."
"I'm not ready!" Bai Tian yelled, and in an instant he lay down and hugged the horse's neck. His posture and movements were exactly the same as the mother in front of him.
Bai Banxia squatted on the ground with a smile, "Father, mother, you two have such a tacit understanding."
