After dinner, Bai Banxia and Qi Zhen carried the food divided into small bags and walked towards the village.
I went to the village chief's house first, gave gifts and paid back the money I borrowed.
"Why are you so anxious to pay it back? Chinese New Year is coming soon, don't be too nervous." Zhang An said a little surprised.
"Didn't I go to sit down and get paid? Qizhen helped the prefect solve a case and received a reward. We just want to pay off the debt first. They say that being debt-free means you are light-hearted. And the Chinese New Year is coming soon, so everyone
It takes money." Bai Banxia said.
Zhang An was even more surprised now. He looked at Qi Zhen and asked, "Already Xiao Qi is helping the prefect handle the case? The prefect is the boss's official."
"It was a lucky chance." Qi Zhen was still so serious and serious, and Zhang An was used to it, so he didn't think he was arrogant.
"You young men are incredible. One of you is ranked first among young doctors, and the other has handled cases for the prefect. It's incredible."
As soon as Dr. Xu left the gate of the Bai Family Courtyard, he publicized in the village that Bai Banxia had won the first place in Xuanji Hall. His expression and tone were as if his own granddaughter had won the first place, and he had always gained face.
After leaving the village chief's house, the two went to several houses in the defense team, again giving gifts and paying back money. Then they went to other houses. By the time they paid back all the money, it was almost late at night.
"I don't want to borrow money anymore. It's so tiring to pay it back." Bai Banxia said with emotion.
Qi Zhen laughed and said, "I will find something to do so I won't be short of money in the future."
"Ah? What are you going to do?" Bai Banxia asked strangely.
"Serious business, don't steal or rob." Qi Zhen replied.
Bai Banxia gave him an angry look, "Why don't you want to tell me?"
"Help the government check something." Qi Zhen saw her swollen face and reached out to rub her head, "I will tell you in detail later."
Bai Banxia guessed that he was helping Magistrate Yin investigate something and should be told not to leak it, so he stopped asking.
"Go back and have a rest early, go to town tomorrow to buy some things, and then go see grandma and grandpa." Bai Banxia said and quickened his pace.
She wanted to pull some cloth and make two new clothes for her grandma and grandpa to wear during the New Year. To be honest, the old people she loved most in her heart must be her grandma and grandpa, but the clothing materials she could buy in Xiguan City were limited, so she had to wear them first.
Grandpa and grandma, after all, it was the two old people of the Bai family who suffered.
Just thinking about her grandma and grandpa, she felt a little guilty.
The next day, when the Bai family got up and started working, Bai Tian approached the horse again.
"How do you feed this horse? It costs a lot of money to feed the horse every day, right?" Bai Tian asked while touching the horse's mane.
Bai Banxia pointed at Qi Zhen, "Qi Zhen said that he had been a groom before and knew how to take care of him."
Bai Tian approached Qi Zhen and asked, "Have you remembered?"
"I remembered something." Qi Zhen was already getting fodder for the horse.
"Just a groom?" Bai Tian didn't believe it. "With your skills, it would be a shame to be a groom, unless you work for some high official."
Qi Zhen nodded, "I remembered it when I met the prefect this time."
Oops, this means that you probably did things with the prefect before, or a high-ranking official who the prefect knew?
When Bai Tian thought that it was definitely not a criminal or a gangster, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm not married." Qi Zhen suddenly whispered, "Although I don't remember much, the prefect said that my mother passed away less than three years ago, so I didn't consider marriage during my mourning period."
"Why are you telling me this?" Bai Tian rolled his eyes. The brat must be thinking about his daughter. His good little cabbage is not so easily taken over by pigs.
Bai Banxia walked out of the house after carrying the snacks and sauce meat distributed to her grandma's house. When she heard the sentence "I have considered the marriage," she hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Who has considered the marriage? Qizhen, do you want to marry a wife again?"
"
"No, it's not." Qi Zhen was speechless for a moment.
"Why are you in such a hurry to get a wife? A man has to have a career and make money. When you have a career and money, won't it be easy to get a wife?" Bai Banxia said with a serious expression, and took all the photos seriously.
Zhen's shoulder said, "Do it well and don't be impatient."
Bai Tian covered his face, my daughter, are you stupid?
Bai Banxia took a pack of snacks to Brother Erlang and asked him to take them to Mr. Nan's house, and then left the stall with his parents.
When the stall was not busy, Bai Banxia took Qi Zhen to the cloth shop.
"Miss Bai, when will the new goods be available?" asked Cheng Qian, the owner of the cloth shop.
"On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I promise to make more." Bai Banxia said.
Boss Cheng was very happy, "Okay, what do you want to buy today? It's cheaper for you."
Ever since Bai Banxia put the hair flowers for sale in his shop, even though he was given a small amount of money, the business of his shop has improved a lot.
Bai Banxia picked for a while and picked a piece of brick-red muslin.
"What do you think of this color? Make a couple outfit for my grandpa and grandma." Bai Banxia asked Qi Zhen happily.
"Couple costumes?" Qi Zhen smiled, "It's pretty good. It's festive and not overly ostentatious. It can be worn by both men and women."
Boss Cheng also smiled and said: "Miss Bai has a good sense. It is really suitable to make clothes for two old people."
After all, the color was a bit darker. Bai Banxia thought about it and added a little more vermilion fabric to make a belt. This would brighten it up without exaggerating it.
After cutting the materials, Bai Banxia went to cut some meat, bought a bottle of wine, and then went to Maple Tree Village.
Because my second cousin is getting married in two days, and their whole family will have to help out by then, so my parents won't be able to go there today.
"Grandma, grandpa, I miss you so much!" As soon as he arrived at Zhang's house, Bai Banxia went to pull the two old people to act coquettishly, while Qi Zhen was behind carrying something, and the corners of his mouth raised again.
No matter how calm she is outside, he still prefers her liveliness in front of her relatives.
"Oh, I'm back from Xiguan City." Grandma looked her up and down, "Look, she's so tired and thin."
Bai Banxia giggled, took the fabric to the two old people, and said: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, I am making new clothes for grandma and grandpa."
"Oh, this is fine cotton, this is such a waste." Grandpa came over and said, but his face was full of smiles, and he was obviously very happy.
The uncle was also at home and said, "This is Ban Xia and my sister. They are filial. Clothes made of fine cotton are more comfortable to wear. I will ask Tong Sheng's mother to make them for you later and wear them in time for the New Year."
"I'll make it in the evening," said the eldest aunt.
Bai Banxia handed the dim sum sauce meat to her aunt again and said, "This is a specialty I brought back from Xiguan City. There isn't much of it, so I just want to try it fresh. If it tastes good, I'll bring more next time."
"
"You kid, don't always buy us this and that. As a little girl, why don't you buy things for yourself and make nice-looking clothes? Your cuffs are all white." The aunt was both happy and distressed, thinking about it.
With her figure of Bai Banxia, she went back to make new clothes for the girl.
Later, grandma and grandpa took Bai Banxia to talk about their experiences in Xiguan City, and Bai Banxia patiently began to talk.
After a while, the eldest cousin came back from the fields and said, "Sister and Xiao Qi are here. Luo Ping and Li Liang outside said they have something urgent to come to see you."
