"You are my sister, so I am afraid that you will be deceived. Moreover, our lives are also difficult. We have just separated our families. It is also the Chinese New Year, and we don't have much money in our hands." Bai Tian said with a bitter face.
Bai He couldn't listen, and said with red eyes: "Brother, how did my sister treat you in the past? You were in poor health when you were a child. When I fled, I was so hungry that I was skin and bones. Why didn't I give you all the rations? When did something happen?
Aren’t you protecting you to the death? You’ve been in poor health since you were a child and couldn’t leave the house. Aren’t I the only one taking care of you?”
As she spoke, she started to cry, "Now that I'm in trouble, and you're not willing to help me, if we are kicked out of the house, how will we live in the future? How can Jinyu find a good husband's family?"
Bai Tian remembered what happened when he was a child. They had just settled in Baoshan Village. Their parents had to go to work, so Bai He cooked, cleaned and took care of him at home.
Thinking of the past, Bai Tian's eyes turned red and he couldn't bear it.
"Sister, if you are in trouble, I will definitely help you, but you are probably deceived." Bai Tian sighed, "Otherwise, you wait first, Xiao Qi is a coach in the county, let him talk to the county
Sir, please let me know what is going on first. If it is true, can you help me to let the goods be released?"
Bai He's eyes lit up, "Can the magistrate really help?"
She had been crying for a long time, and no one in the yard could hear her. Qi Zhenjian mentioned him and came over and said: "The county magistrate is a warm-hearted person. I will go and tell him this afternoon and he will definitely help."
"Yeah, if it's fake, you can find out early and see if you can get the money back." Bai Tian added.
"Is it really possible?" Bai He asked worriedly.
Bai Tian hurriedly patted his chest and said, "Sister, I promise you, Xiao Qi will definitely handle it."
"Okay, I'll wait for your news." Bai He relaxed and stopped asking Chen Rufeng to borrow money.
After that, Bai Banxia's family got busy because Bai Tian wanted to set up the pancake stall in the evening, saying that he felt uncomfortable all over after resting for the past few days.
There is a lantern festival in the town on the night of the 15th day of the first lunar month. It is said that many people will watch the lanterns. This is even the day when men and women are at their weakest. There will be many men and women walking together on the street to guess lantern riddles and win some lottery prizes.
.
It can be said that the fifteenth day of the first lunar month was the ancient Valentine's Day, a good day for dating. Therefore, there are many people in the market at night, so a lot of pancakes should be sold.
"The ground has just been shaken. I'm afraid many people won't come out, right?" Zhang Lingzhi guessed.
"That's not necessarily true. Maybe you want to come out and breathe a sigh of relief." Bai Tian said with a smile, "Even if you can't sell much tonight, you can still sell it tomorrow."
Zhang Lingzhi became more energetic after hearing this, "Okay, let's prepare more ingredients."
"Dad, Mom, stop showing off. Take a day off and go see the lanterns and guess lantern riddles." Bai Banxia said disapprovingly, money can't be made all the time, and the most important thing is that parents are happy.
Zhang Lingzhi waved his hand, "We are old enough and have watched the lanterns so many times. I am not good at guessing lantern riddles. Every year, I just watch others take the limelight. It is not as interesting as making money myself."
"That's right, I can't even guess lantern riddles, so I might as well sing about my pancakes and fruit to be more impressive." Bai Tian also said with a smile.
Seeing that her parents really wanted to set up a stall, Bai Banxia didn't stop her, as long as they were happy.
Qi Zhen was already grinding mung beans with a wink, and Bai Tian was very satisfied. Recently, he felt that Xiao Qi was actually quite good. Except for robbing his precious daughter, everything seemed to be good.
When Bai Banxia went over to pick up the ground mung beans, Qi Zhen whispered to her: "After I send my parents to set up a stall, we will go to the county government together, and then let's watch the lanterns."
Bai Banxia had never seen the ancient lantern festival with her own eyes, so her eyes lit up, "Okay."
The corners of Qi Zhen's lips curled up, looking very happy. Bai Banxia's heart skipped a beat when he looked at her like this. How could this man's eyes be so beautiful? It seemed as if he could capture the soul.
When they packed up and were about to go out, Jin Yu followed them.
"Third uncle, I want to go too." Jin Yu said timidly, but her eyes secretly glanced at Chen Rufeng.
Bai Tian had a headache. Chen Rufeng said they were engaged, so why didn't Jin Yu give up?
"We are busy at night and can't look after you, so don't follow us," Bai Tian said.
"I can take care of myself and help you," Jin Yu said.
Bai He also came over and said, "Would you like to watch the lantern festival in Banxia night? Take your cousin with you."
Bai Banxia said with a cold face: "Qi Zhen and I are going to the county government office. In addition, I have to go to Zhou Mansion for follow-up consultation. It is inconvenient to bring more people."
In the past, Jin Yu looked down on her predecessor, but it was mostly because of the arrogance of a little girl, and since they only saw her only a few times a year, it was not considered bullying her predecessor.
So Bai Banxia didn't hate Jin Yu that much, but Jin Yu messed with her clothes and hair, giving her a small warning.
But when it comes to Chen Rufeng, Jin Yu is a bit annoying.
It's okay to pursue love boldly, but you can't pursue love persistently, especially after Chen Rufeng said that she was engaged.
Ancient times were different from modern times. In ancient times, there were few changes in engagements. Once engaged, you were considered a married couple, and all you had to do was choose an auspicious day to perform the ceremony.
Although Chen Rufeng lied that she was engaged, as a girl with upright views and self-respect, when she heard that the man was engaged, she should not continue to pester him.
No matter how much you like the other person, you can't ruin their marriage, let alone do something petty.
"Well, then I will follow Brother Rufeng, and I won't cause any trouble to him." Jin Yu said.
Chen Rufeng's face didn't look too good either, and he said in a somewhat unkind tone: "I have a family-hered heart disease, and I can't go to crowded places, so I won't accompany you."
"What?" Jin Yu's face changed, "How could this happen?"
"Both my parents died of heart disease. My mother is my father's cousin, and my disease cannot be cured." Chen Rufeng almost said that she would not live long.
Jin Yu seemed to be shocked and didn't speak for a long time. Chen Rufeng breathed a sigh of relief and followed Bai Tian and the others out the door.
When the Bai Banxia family arrived at the stall, they didn't expect Du Sanniang to come and set up a stall. She mainly sold bean curd and soy milk today, thinking that there would be a lot of people at night, so business must be good.
The two families asked each other about the situation, and it turned out that the utility room at Du San's house had collapsed a little, and several children had helped repair it.
After the stall was set up, Bai Banxia told her parents and went to the county government office with Qi Zhen.
"Wouldn't it be a good idea to trouble Mr. Zhou with my aunt's little matter?" Bai Banxia asked on the way.
"I'm not going to see Zhou Hai about her matter. I've already asked someone to investigate her matter," Qi Zhen said.
Bai Banxia nodded. There was an earthquake nearby. Zhou Hai also had to appease the people and deal with the incident in Maple Tree Village. How could he have time to help people check the goods?
"I suddenly realized that when you mentioned the high officials of the imperial court, you always called them by their first names, never sir..." Bai Banxia suddenly asked.
