As soon as she heard Erlang's voice, Mrs. Li couldn't help but look happy, stood up and went out to greet him.
"Why are you back today? The shop is on holiday?" Ms. Li asked.
Erlang looked ashamed, "I came back to apologize to Third Uncle and the others."
After saying that, he walked straight towards Bai Banxia's family, bowed to them, and said: "Third uncle, third aunt, sister Banxia, I'm sorry, it was me who got you involved and your stall was smashed."
Bai Shan was shocked when he heard this, "What's going on?"
Erlang felt even more ashamed when he heard that Bai Banxia and the others did not mention this matter when they returned home.
"I misbehaved and offended Master's son. Yesterday, Third Uncle and the others gave me pancakes. I wanted to give Master some pancakes, but I didn't expect to make Chu Yuan unhappy again. As a result, he went to destroy Third Uncle's stall today.
"
Bai Shan looked at Bai Tian, "Third brother, why didn't you say anything?"
"It's a small matter, and nothing was broken." Bai Tian scratched his head, "Erlang hasn't eaten yet? Hurry up and sit down and try Banxia's craftsmanship."
Only then did Erlang notice the food on the table, and it smelled particularly fragrant.
Zhang Lingzhi hurriedly served Erlang a bowl of rice and said a little embarrassedly: "I didn't know Erlang came back and ate all the bones and meat."
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm not hungry." Erlang said hurriedly.
Bai Banxia directly picked up a chopstick and put the sausage into his bowl, "Brother Erlang, try this. Although the deboned meat is gone, this one is more fragrant."
In fact, when the meat was finished, everyone was staring at the intestines and thinking about it. Because it was pig intestines, everyone was a little disgusted and did not dare to take off their chopsticks.
But Erlang didn't know that. He picked it up and put it in his mouth without thinking. After chewing it for a few times, he realized that everyone was looking at him.
"It's delicious. What is this?" Erlang said, taking another piece and putting it into his mouth.
Bai Banxia's eyes widened when she smiled, "Pig intestines, but don't worry, my dad and Qi Zhen cleaned them for a long time and they are very clean."
Erlang didn't dislike it, but was a little surprised, "So pig intestines can be so delicious?"
Only then did he notice Qi Zhen. The old man reacted and introduced Qi Zhen.
Qi Zhen couldn't see it and nodded slightly in Erlang's direction, "Brother Erlang."
"I don't know which one of us is older. In what month were you born?" Erlang saw that Qi Zhen was taller than him, so he asked Qi Zhen's age.
"I don't remember." Qi Zhen thought for a while and said.
Baitian winked at Erlang, pointed his finger and said, "Qi Zhen dropped his head."
Erlang didn't dare to ask any more questions and brought up the topic of smashing the stall again.
"Third uncle, my master's son has been spoiled so much since he was a child that even the master can't control him. I'm afraid that he will come to trouble you in the future."
Bai Tian waved his hand, "Let him come. I didn't learn kung fu today. He will not be my opponent in the future."
Pfft... Bai Banxia couldn't help but laugh out loud. Is it just the uncoordinated skills of his father's hands and feet?
"Daughter, this is wrong. You told me that hard work can make up for weakness. I'm working hard, and you still laugh at me?" Bai Tian said aggrievedly.
"No, no, I'm just so happy eating the delicious sausage." Bai Banxia said, picking up another chopstick of the sausage and eating it.
Seeing how delicious the food was for the two of them, everyone no longer had any doubts. They all went to pick up the sausages, almost biting their tongues after eating them.
How was this made? They had never tasted such a fragrant dish! The deboned pork just now was already very fragrant, but I didn’t expect the fat sausage to be even more fragrant.
"Girl, you said you eat the deboned meat first and then the fat sausage. Are you afraid that the fat sausage will be too fragrant and the meat will be tasteless?" the old man asked.
"If you stir-fry the fat intestines in the pot for a while, more oil will come out and the flavor will be more fragrant." Bai Banxia said and poured a small bowl of sauerkraut into it. "This sauerkraut can absorb oil, so you can eat it after cooking it for a while."
It’s extra refreshing, and the potatoes inside are delicious even after being cooked.”
She talked enthusiastically, only to realize that everyone was immersed in eating, for fear that they would eat too slowly and get less.
So after eating this meal, the Bai family was full.
Of course, this does not include the Baishui family who were in the house but did not come out. Baishui was very angry about this, but luckily he shared two bowls of bone soup and had soup rice with Mrs. Xu.
Sanlang drooled all over the floor. When he made up his mind to shamelessly eat the rice, he found that there were only sauerkraut and potatoes left in the pot.
In the end, he pitifully admitted his mistake and begged for mercy, and was able to eat a few bites of potatoes and sauerkraut, but just like that, he still had a delicious bowl of multigrain rice.
After the meal, everyone was eating and chatting in the courtyard. Suddenly, there was crying and shouting outside, and someone passed by the door of their courtyard.
"I'm going to see what's going on." The old lady doesn't like to go out much, but she is willing to go to watch the excitement, just like the people in the village also like to watch the Bai family's excitement.
The old lady went out for a while and then came back, with an indescribable strangeness on her face.
"Mom, what's wrong?" Bai Tian asked thoughtfully.
The old lady lowered her voice and said, "The granddaughter of the Liu family at the end of the village is gone, and her family has sent her to the mountains behind."
The rule at this time was that children who died at an early age could not be admitted to the cemetery, but could only be sent to the back of the mountain.
"Why is it gone?" Bai Tian was surprised. "Not long ago, I saw people cutting pigweed. Such a small baby was carrying such a big basket."
"No, he's only over five years old." The old lady sighed, "I heard that I was scalded by boiling water a few days ago and had a fever for a few days, but I ran out of breath today."
Her voice paused, "But I just heard a child crying."
Bai Banxia cheered up when she heard that she had been burned. The burn required treatment, so how could she let it go? What the old lady meant was that the little girl had not yet died?
"Grandma, did you hear that right? Her family can't hear it?" she asked.
"Listen to this!" the old lady spat, "The second son of the Liu family passed away due to a sudden illness, leaving behind a wife and a posthumous son. The Liu family thought he was a grandson, but they thought he would be a loser."
"The Liu family thought that the second daughter-in-law was spending money because she was sick, so they divorced her and returned to her parents' home. I heard that she remarried two years ago, leaving a little girl without a father, a mother, and no one to care for her."
The old lady curled her lips and said, "Why did you accidentally get scalded by boiling water? I guess the Liu family did it deliberately."
"How much rations can a female baby eat? Do you need to be so cruel?" Bai Banxia was furious when she heard this. If this matter were to happen in the future, she would go to jail.
"You know shit, how many families have given birth to female babies and don't want to raise them, so they just drown them or throw them away in the back of the mountain. I scolded you, I scolded you, at least I didn't boil you with boiling water, and you would have died a few times if you put them in Liu's house.
Already." The old lady said angrily.
Bai Banxia couldn't sit still anymore, stood up and said, "I'm going out to eat."
She walked so fast that by the time the old lady realized what she was doing, she was no longer visible.
"Why did Qi Zhen go out?" Bai Tian just washed the dishes and didn't hear what the old lady said. He saw Qi Zhen's back disappearing at the entrance of the courtyard.
"It seems that he went out to eat after Ban Xia." Zhang Lingzhi only saw a silhouette.
