Zhang Lingzhi stood at the door and did not dare to go in. After speaking, he lowered his head, fearing that the old lady would scold her again in disgust.
The old lady had already smelled the fragrance of the stove candy. She raised her head and glanced at Zhang Lingzhi and said, "Why are you holding me back to give me the stove candy? Don't you know how to come in?"
"My third daughter-in-law is filial to you. Look, you have scared people again." The old man said with a smile.
"You are such a big person, and you have a big voice, how timid can you be?" the old lady said angrily.
"You are just stubborn." The old man said helplessly.
Zhang Lingzhi hurriedly entered the house and gave the stove candy to the old lady. The old lady took it and took a bite.
"Yes, you are interested."
Zhang Lingzhi's eyes widened. This was already a very polite thank you from the old lady. Who said that this old lady never spoke well?
"That's right. The children are filial. I want to give you a taste as soon as it's ready." She didn't know how to say nice things, so she told the truth.
A smile appeared on the old lady's face, "You are the one who taught me how to be smart."
Zhang Lingzhi's eyes widened even more. Is her mother-in-law praising her again?
When she came out of the old lady's house, her feet were still a little shaky. Is it that simple?
Bai Banxia held back her laughter and went over to hold her mother's hand, "Mom, I'm going to eat some candies."
"Okay, okay." Zhang Lingzhi went to get the stove candy in a daze, and didn't come back to reality until the fragrant stove candy entered his mouth.
"Daughter, your grandma seemed to be praising me just now?" she asked excitedly.
Bai Banxia pursed her lips and snickered, "I'm praising you and dad, but this time I'm obviously praising you, and dad is just incidental."
The eldest mother-in-law also laughed and said, "Third brother and sister, how well you have taught the children, I am only praising you from the bottom of my heart."
"Sister-in-law, you and your eldest brother taught Da Lang and Er Lang really well." Zhang Lingzhi praised sincerely.
"Let's not give in to each other. We have several good children in the family, good looks and good talents. People will praise us wherever we go." The eldest uncle said with a smile.
Bai Banxia took another piece of stove candy and gave it to Qi Zhen who was grinding.
She directly stuffed the candy into his mouth and said, "Take a break and stop pushing, otherwise people will say that my family is using you as a mule."
Qi Zhen doesn't like eating sweet things very much, but he will eat whatever she gives him, no matter how sweet it is.
However, this candy is not overly sweet and contains a lot of sesame seeds, making it very fragrant and appetizing.
"Why do I think you are trying to make me look like a mule?" he asked with a smile.
"How is that possible? You are a fierce tiger when you take action, right?" Bai Banxia smiled and took the handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Qi Zhen's movements froze, and his eyes fell on her wrist. A section of snow-white skin was exposed from the cuff. Under the sunlight, it was as warm and delicate as jade. He wanted to reach out and grab it.
Her wrist was so thin that it seemed like it would break if she pinched it hard, but he knew that she was not as weak as she seemed.
With such a thin wrist, he can easily lift a big stone, and he can easily lift a millstone with one hand...
There was a smile on his lips. He had never liked delicate women, or he never knew what he liked until he met her.
"Why are you giggling? After eating, get to work quickly." Bai Banxia laughed, saw a sesame seed stuck to the corner of his mouth, and reached out to wipe it for him.
Qi Zhen's smile froze for a moment. At that moment, her fingers touched his face. The pads of her fingers were a little soft, but not particularly soft. It was warm and hot, and the place where he touched his face suddenly became hot.
Got up.
That point was like a spark that could quickly start a prairie fire and spread to his entire face, burning it up.
"Are you very hot? Why is your face so red?" Bai Banxia asked in confusion.
Qi Zhen covered his face and said, "I remembered that I have something else to do, so I'll go back as soon as I can."
After saying that, he quickly left, leaving only a somewhat panicked figure behind.
"What's wrong with brother?" Xiaocao asked Xiaoyu with some confusion, "Doesn't he like to eat stove candies?"
Xiaoyu had a smile on his face, "No, he likes it tight."
"Then why did he go out?" Xiaocao was even more confused.
"I'm so happy." Xiaoyu smiled at Xiaocao, "If he's not here, the snowball will be yours."
Xiaocao's eyes lit up and she immediately forgot about why Qi Zhen went out. It was true that Little Snowball was a little older now and played in the yard every day, but as long as Qi Zhen was around, Little Snowball would be all over the place.
Follow him and ignore anyone.
Only when Qi Zhen was not at home did Xiao Xueqiu play enthusiastically with Xiao Cao, which made Xiao Cao jealous of Qi Zhen.
Bai Banxia looked at the time and packed two packs of stove candies to prepare for a trip to Nanling Village. She also packed a separate piece with more sesame seeds...
The big one was sent to Mr. Nan's house, the small one was for Li Liang's grandpa's house, and the single one was for picking up Brother Erlang and giving him food on the way.
She repaid Brother Erlang's gift of sweets on behalf of his predecessor.
She packed the medicine for Li Liang, went to Li Liang's grandfather's house first, gave him candy, and changed the medicine for Li Liang.
"Dr. Bai, thank you for treating Liangzi's leg. His family is not sensible and has not paid for the consultation. This is our little thought." Grandpa Li Liang gave Bai Banxia a hundred coins.
Bai Banxia didn't refuse. She gave Li Liang more than just these medicines. It would be nice to have an idea about the medical fees in the countryside. It can be seen that Li Liang's grandfather's family knows the rules and is much better than the Li family. She also hopes that Li Liang can stay in Nanling in the future.
Live a good life in the village.
"Just make sure he doesn't get hurt again, and his leg will be completely healed," Bai Banxia said.
"Okay, I'll definitely keep an eye on it." Grandpa Li Liang paused and then said, "His parents wanted to defect to us today, but our village chief didn't allow it and drove them away."
Li Liang lowered his head and said nothing, his expression was quite painful.
Anyway, those are his parents and grandmother.
"They have suffered some hardships outside, and maybe they can realize their mistakes. Otherwise, if they don't change, I don't know how much trouble they will cause in the future."
Bai Banxia sighed. She had not been to Fengshu Village many times and had little contact with the Li family. She did not know much about their nature. She felt that Mrs. Li was very mischievous, Li Liang's father was ignorant, filial and ignorant, and Li Liang's mother was also very mean.
But the idea seemed to be Mrs. Li’s.
It's okay if it can be changed, but if it can't be changed, it will be a disaster wherever it goes.
She comforted Li Liang a few more words, said goodbye and left Nan's house, and gave the stove candy to Mrs. Nan.
Nan Qian was particularly happy. She said she was going to play with grass and see little snowballs in two days. Nan Qian had also gained a lot of weight recently, and her little face was so plump and cute.
Bai Banxia took the opportunity to quietly ask Mrs. Nan about the situation. Mrs. Nan said: "It's much better. Sometimes there will be some left, but when I'm in a good mood, there won't be any."
"Take your time, and don't worry too much, haste makes waste," Bai Banxia said.
Mrs. Nan nodded, "Thanks to you, otherwise we would have delayed the child."
She comforted Mrs. Nan a few more words, waited until Brother Erlang finished school, picked him up and walked back together.
"Brother Erlang, this is for you." On the way back, Bai Banxia took out the stove candy and handed it to Brother Erlang.
Bai Shengming was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "You, you, you still remember."
