The sister Li in the uncle's mouth was Aunt Li. When Bai Banxia and the others arrived home, they carried down all the gifts given by Aunt Li, paid the cab driver and asked the driver to go back first.
She gave the old lady the share that Aunt Li gave to the Bai family, and planned to send the rest to her grandma's house tomorrow.
But it was definitely impossible for her to ignore the wine business. She didn't want her parents and aunt to work too hard.
"No, I'm not here, why are you so busy here? You can send things to my grandma and the others later, but let's finish the banquet first tomorrow." Bai Banxia immediately shook his head.
"We hired a few women from the village to help, so please stop being busy. You haven't been idle in the past month. Every girl is waiting to get married, and you still have to work so hard." The aunt said distressedly.
Zhang Lingzhi also felt sorry for his daughter and said in agreement: "Yes, you go and rest for a day, and I'll call your Aunt Fang to help."
"I really don't need to rest. If you ask me to go to grandma's house, I can't rest assured. I have to run back. Then you will make me run back and forth. Okay, let's find someone to help tomorrow. I'll do it so that it won't happen.
I’m too tired, can we go back to the main office?”
She held her mother's arm with one hand and her eldest uncle's arm with the other, rocking and acting coquettishly.
Zhang Lingzhi and the eldest uncle looked at each other and smiled helplessly. Forget it, they couldn't resist this girl, so they had no choice but to agree.
They simply added two dishes to the kitchen and set out the meal to eat.
After the meal, Brother Dalang and Lin Rongrong took the initiative to wash the dishes so that Bai Banxia and the others could rest early.
"Don't be in a hurry, go and have a rest and discuss the dishes for the wine tomorrow." The old man suddenly spoke.
Bai Tian even saw his daughter yawning, and said distressedly: "Dad, they have a hard journey, and you are too hasty in serving the wine."
"Why are you so anxious? Everyone in the village has seen that Erlang has returned home in fine clothes. Can you not show off?" The old man said unhappily, "How tired can it be? We farmers are not so delicate."
Qi Zhen, who had been silent all this time, darkened his face and said, "You are right, our family is not squeamish, and your body is strong. You decide what to do with the wine, and you lead us to do it."
The old man became even more unhappy when he heard this, "Nonsense, how can I, a man, take care of the kitchen? Besides, how old am I and how young are you? Do you want to tire me to death?"
"Being young doesn't mean you can't be affected, but many of the problems are caused by being affected when you are young." Qi Zhen said coldly.
Bai Shengming felt that it was because of his own affairs that he had caused trouble to his family. He felt very ashamed and said, "Why don't we simply set up a few tables and invite the village chief and elders? Everyone has worked hard recently, so don't make yourself too tired.
"
Unexpectedly, Mr. Bai slammed the table and cursed angrily: "Nonsense! I already told you to invite the whole village to dinner, but now I'm only inviting part of it. Isn't it a slap in the face? Then they will still have to say that our family only wants to eat."
Looking at the village chief and elders, doesn’t it make people poke their spines?”
When the old lady saw that he was angry, she also said: "I wish to do whatever I want. It is so big, expensive and laborious, so why bother?"
"What do you know about a woman!" The old man coughed angrily, and Bai Shengming hurriedly went to pat him on the back.
"I don't understand anything, but you know better. Then you can make arrangements for us. Let's all go to rest." After saying this, the old lady waved her hands and went back to the house.
Bai Banxia winked at her sister-in-law, intending to ask her if the two elders were still arguing recently, but Lin Rongrong's eyes turned to her in the house in Qizhen, and Bai Banxia understood that the old man was still living in the house in Qizhen these days.
She glanced at Qi Zhen with some sympathy, seeing that the old man was still separated from the old lady.
The old man pointed at the old lady's back and said, "You are so rebellious now that you don't know who you are anymore!"
The old lady said without looking back: "I think you don't know who you are anymore. Erlang was admitted as a scholar, not you."
Lin Rongrong hurriedly went to persuade the old lady and helped her back to the house, for fear that she would say something unpleasant again.
Fortunately, the old lady loved her granddaughter-in-law very much, so she came back to the house.
Bai Banxia even guessed that the old lady was probably going to tell her why she fell in love with him back then.
She sighed secretly, wouldn't it be true that people change over time, and so do feelings?
"Third brother, your eldest brother only knows about things in the fields. You will arrange the drinks tomorrow. You should worry more." The old man said to Bai Tian.
Baitian now wanted him to go to bed quickly, so he hurriedly agreed.
Bai Banxia was really sleepy and couldn't help but yawned again.
Suddenly the old man glared at her and said, "Ban Xia, what's your attitude? Now you think I'm old and you don't have the patience to listen to me anymore?"
Before Bai Banxia could speak, Qi Zhen became dissatisfied and protected her and said: "Banxia has been tired for a few days and hasn't rested since she came back. Even the cattle have a rest. Don't go too far."
.”
Although Qi Zhen is very warm when he protects her, what the hell is a farm cow? Isn't this metaphor very appropriate?
"You haven't even entered the house yet, and you're already disobeying your elders? Don't forget that you are marrying into our family." The old man said with a straight face.
These words were so unpleasant that even Bai Shengming couldn't stand hearing them.
"grandfather……"
Bai Banxia's face darkened, and she directly interrupted Brother Erlang and said, "Grandpa, Qi Zhen doesn't have to marry into his wife. I told him that he wants to protect me more. Also, even if he marries into his wife,
Give me Bai Banxia as my bride-in-law, not your Bai family. So it’s not your turn to tell my people what to do. We are tired from the journey, so let’s rest first.”
After she finished speaking, she pulled Qi Zhen and walked out, "You go to sleep in Brother Erlang's room tonight."
"Okay." The corners of Qi Zhen's lips were curved. It was strange that he was unhappy because his wife was so protective of him.
Bai Banxia saw his expression out of the corner of her eye and felt both funny and warm in her heart.
So what if the old man is her grandfather, he is not a blood relative in her heart. If he treats her well, she will treat him well. If he treats her badly, she will not be sad. She only needs to do a good job on the surface.
But Qi Zhen is different. He has been good to her from the beginning, and even believed in her unconditionally. He is good to her and is someone who will accompany her throughout her life.
Unless she was stupid, she would make Qi Zhen suffer for the sake of the old man.
As soon as she and Qi Zhen came out of the house, the aunt said: "Dad, Mr. Nan, who we sent off first when we came back, didn't even rest for a while when he got home. He was really tired, so he went to rest first."
Without waiting for the old man to reply, the auntie also came out of the room.
The old man pointed at his eldest daughter-in-law and gasped, she was also very angry.
"I'm going to rest too, in case I don't have the energy to work tomorrow." Zhang Lingzhi said coldly and ran away.
There were only two sons and two grandsons left in the house. The old man pointed in the direction of the door and said, "Everyone is so embarrassed. Do they still care about me, the head of the family?"
