The 29th day of the twelfth lunar month is the day for ancestor worship. According to the rules, you have to get up early in the morning to worship your ancestors. Some large families have so many rules that it may take the afternoon to complete the entire process.
But fortunately, the Bai family has a small population and doesn't have so many rules, so it was completed in an hour.
When worshiping ancestors, the old man also made the decision to remove Baishui and Xu from the family tree, and recorded Sanlang Baishengcai in Baishan's name.
During this process, the atmosphere in the family was a bit low. The old man and the old lady were not in a good mood, and Sanlang was also very depressed. Afterwards, Bai Shenggen patted him on the shoulder and said, "Third brother, don't think too much, we will always be a family."
people."
Sanlang nodded, "Thank you, brother."
Erlang also went over and said, "In the future, you will no longer be a young boy. Please take more care of Xiaosi and Xiaocao."
Everyone looked at Bai Shengyu and Xiaocao. Strictly speaking, neither of them were blood of the Bai family, but no one here would regard them as outsiders.
Afterwards, the family sat together and chatted, and Bai Banxia talked about his plans for the coming year.
"I think all the children in the family should study and not seek a career in politics, but our family will also be a scholarly family in the future." Bai Banxia smiled at the old lady, "Grandma, don't you think so?"
After all, the old lady was the daughter of a scholar, and she knew more about reading than the average peasant woman. She frowned just thinking about the expense.
"With all the land at home, how much money can we have for them to study?"
"Now I am practicing in Xuanji Hall and have a stable income. I can still afford to study at home. As for the land, we can buy it later," Bai Banxia said.
The old lady thought for a while and asked: "Tell me the truth, how much money can you make by sitting in clinic a month?"
Before Bai Banxia could speak, the old man glared at her and said, "Why do you ask? Don't worry about your granddaughter's money. It's unreasonable for her to support the family as a girl."
"What am I worried about? I'm just worried that she is young and I don't know how to deal with her." The old lady's voice was much softer, and she didn't seem so confident.
Bai Tian smiled and said, "Aren't Lingzhi and I still selling pancakes and fruits? We can earn a few taels of silver a month."
"As for your body, don't be tired anymore." The old lady said distressedly.
My youngest son only had a few cents per pancake, so it was not easy for him to do business from dawn to dusk.
"On weekdays, my elder brother and sister-in-law also help, and the children are sensible, so we are not tired," Bai Tian said.
Zhang Lingzhi also said hurriedly: "Yes, mother, I am very strong, I can't be tired."
The old lady rolled her eyes at her, "Who said anything about you? Are you tired or not?"
Zhang Lingzhi's face fell for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses. His daughter told her that the old lady was just a tough talker, so don't take it seriously.
"Hehe, that's what mom said." Zhang Lingzhi said with a smile.
The old lady glanced at her quickly, she saw that the daughter-in-law of the third family was not lovable at all before, but now she is actually pretty good, capable and has few tasks, which is what makes a prosperous husband.
It's a pity that I didn't give birth to a son, alas, that's all. Fortunately, the third child also has a son now.
Chen Rufeng, who had been eating and drinking at Bai's house, suddenly spoke up and said: "If anyone is willing to study medicine, I can recommend him to go to the medical school in Xiguancheng. There is no tuition fee. As long as he passes the exam every time, he can continue studying.
"
Bai Banxia didn't know that Xiguancheng's medical school was free of tuition, so she couldn't help but praise: "The welfare in Xiguancheng is really good, so that children from poor families can also study medicine."
Chen Rufeng smiled and said, "The top three will be rewarded."
There are scholarships available. If Bai Banxia wasn't already eighteen years old, I would really want to experience the life of an ancient college.
It's a pity that none of the children in the Bai family are very interested in studying medicine.
Bai Banxia originally left her medical skills to Xiaocao, but after a few visits, she discovered that Xiaocao was not interested in studying medicine, but rather loved painting.
Everyone has the right to choose their own life. Bai Banxia didn't want to impose his interests on others, so he let Xiaocao develop freely.
"I want to study medicine, but all the herbs I smell smell the same, and I really don't have the talent." Saburo said, "As for studying, it's more practical for me to work in the fields. Don't waste that money."
Bai Banxia gave him a big eye roll, "If you don't want to study medicine, no one will force you, but you can't do it without studying. You, Xiaoyu, and Xiaocao will all study in the future. I don't expect you to be successful in the future, but don't look back to others.
I can’t even write a letter, I can’t even read it when making a deal or signing a contract.”
"Reading can increase your knowledge and distinguish right from wrong. Just listen to Ban Xia." Qi Zhen spoke.
Sanlang didn't dare to refuse anymore and accepted. Xiaoyu didn't refuse, but his eyes were a little deeper, and he didn't know what he thought of.
"Sister, are you going to study together?" Xiaocao asked with a confused look.
The corner of Bai Banxia's mouth twitched, "Sister, I have been studying hard with my master for a while. Now I have to learn more about medicine and save people. You can't be lazy, otherwise how will you catch up with me?"
However, Xiaocao's study is a problem. She will teach Xiaocao some things every day, but it is not systematic and comprehensive enough. She still hopes that Xiaocao can go out of the house, go to school, meet peers of the same age, and contact more people.
After the Chinese New Year, Xiaocao will be six years old and can go to school to start her education. You have to find a suitable school for her to start her education.
When it was time for dinner, Mr. Liu came pushing Liu Ye.
That's right, even for pushing, I don't know who got a wooden wheelchair for Liu Ye. The workmanship is a bit rough, but it's quite stable.
But Liu Ye was sitting on it with a lifeless expression, as if his lower body couldn't move.
"Where did you get this?" Bai Tian was amused and pulled Master Liu to ask.
"I asked a carpenter to make it. Time was tight and the work was a bit rough. I tied it on top to prevent him from moving around." Mr. Liu said and glared at Liu Ye.
Only then did Bai Banxia see clearly that there was a strap on the wheelchair, which was tied to Liu Ye's waist and legs. It really tied the other person to the wheelchair. Because the strap was black, Liu Ye's clothes were also black, no
You can't even spot it if you look closely.
"Uncle Liu, are you too cruel? What should I do if he goes to the toilet?" Bai Banxia couldn't help laughing.
"Be sure to untie him and tie him up when you're done." Mr. Liu gritted his teeth, "Do you know what he did yesterday?"
"He must have done nothing good." Bai Banxia guessed it by looking at Mr. Liu's expression.
Mr. Liu snorted angrily and said, "He taught your village chief's family how to play flower ball yesterday. When he got excited, he kicked it a few times and even played a swallow with a pearl. As a result, his knee hurt again.
"
Swallow Playing with Pearls is a name for fancy Cuju. It is to kick the ball up, then bend over to catch it with your back, and let the ball spin on your back. This is because your back should be flat when you bend over, and your arms should be straight behind you.
The two sides look like flying swallows, so it is called Swallows Playing with Pearls.
"Yes, the binding is good!" Bai Banxia immediately praised, "What if you can't be tied up? Otherwise, I will give you some medicine. If he behaves mischievously again, you will give him some medicine and let him stay on the bed.
