The old man chatted with his two sons and two grandsons for a long time. Even Lin Rongrong was glad that he came out early to help the old lady, otherwise he would not have left with a shameful face, and there would be no place to sit down.
On the other side, Qi Zhen has not yet gone to Bai Shengming's house and is helping Bai Banxia pack the things he brought back.
"Do you think that if a couple has been together for a long time, they will hate each other?" Bai Banxia suddenly asked.
Qi Zhen smiled and said, "Don't your parents always have a good relationship?"
"That's probably not long enough." Bai Banxia thought for a while, "I heard about Lan Yin Xu Guo before, but I didn't feel much about it. Now when I look at my grandparents, they feel that they dislike each other."
"I don't know about feelings. In my memory, my mother and my father are not in love. After all, the emperor has many women. But I think people are different. Couples who still grow old together. And your grandparents may not be together for a few days.
We have reconciled again, and the quarrel will last forever." Qi Zhen said slowly.
"Then will we dislike each other in the future?" Bai Banxia asked.
Qi Zhen laughed, "I won't dislike you, but I don't know if you will dislike me."
Bai Banxia gave him an angry look, "It also depends on whether you have done anything that makes me disgusted."
"will not have."
The two of them talked and put away their things. Qi Zhen looked at her again and said, "Don't think about it and have a good rest."
"Well, you too." Bai Banxia said with a smile.
There was no conversation all night, and everyone agreed tacitly not to get up early the next day.
Zhang Lingzhi was awake, but she didn't want to wake up her daughter by coming together. As for Xiaocao, she still had time to go to school.
The aunt and uncle also woke up, but the aunt reminded him in a low voice to get up later, because when they got up, it would be difficult for the Baitian family to lie down anymore.
The old man himself didn't wake up that early. He was not as energetic as before. He was angry and nagging for a long time last night, and he didn't sleep well. When he woke up again, it was already broad daylight.
When he saw the light of day, the old man shouted. It was not easy for him to scold the old lady, so he called the boss Baishan directly.
Bai Shan hurried over and said hesitantly: "I was afraid that I didn't have enough rest, so I didn't wake you up."
"I see that you all just want to be lazy. Who am I doing this for? The Bai family does not belong to me alone. This is a great event for the Bai family. You don't have to worry about anything and you are counting on me?" the old man scolded.
Bai Shengming hurried over after hearing the news. He originally passed the exam and went home happily, but now he couldn't be happy anymore.
"Grandpa, it's all for me. Don't be angry. It's my turn to take care of things." Bai Shengming said.
"You are now a scholar, how can you take care of these chores? Don't do it!" the old man said stubbornly.
Bai Banxia and her mother had already gotten up and were making breakfast with the aunt in the kitchen.
The eldest uncle curled her lips and said, "I'm still a scholar. Look at Erlang and he doesn't dare to respond."
Bai Shengming's face turned red and he said hurriedly: "Grandpa, that's not what you said. I was also a scholar who barely passed the examination. My rankings are all at the bottom. I don't have much strength. I'm still far behind."
"That is also a scholar, and he is one level higher than ordinary people." The old man said.
Bai Banxia sighed in the kitchen, "No wonder the people in the village don't dare to let their children study for fear that they will become distracted. If all the old men think this way, they really don't dare. How can scholars be superior to others? Those who think this way will end up with nothing.
He became a poor scholar."
While we were talking, breakfast was ready, and the family gathered together to have breakfast, but the atmosphere was not good and no one dared to talk.
The old man ate a bowl of porridge, and then said: "Prepare during the day, and set up the banquet in the evening. Boss, go to the town to buy some wine. If you can't carry it, hire an oxcart."
Baishan was a bit honest, rubbed his hands and said, "How many altars should I buy? Who can I ask for if I still have money?"
The old lady lowered her head and said nothing, obviously refusing to give money.
"It's expensive for us to go to town and we don't have any money." The aunt said.
The old man looked at Bai Banxia, "You said before that you wanted to support your brother Erlang. Now that he has passed the exam, you can also arrange the wine."
Originally there was nothing wrong with arranging this, but the old man's attitude was really annoying.
Bai Banxia glanced at Brother Erlang. His face turned red and he felt particularly sad.
"Okay." She agreed. It was originally a happy event, and there was really no need to make everyone uncomfortable.
"But serving wine requires a lot of ingredients, and we haven't prepared any. I'm afraid it won't be enough to borrow them from other houses." The eldest uncle said, "Otherwise, my father and I will go to each house in the village to talk to him later, and we need to be more prepared.
, let’s put it up in two days, right?”
"What are you talking about? If you reject my words like this, where can I turn my face?" The old man yelled.
The whole family frowned. What the eldest uncle said was right, and the people in the village could understand why they had to sacrifice so much face.
"Didn't the Li family also give some things to the Zhang family? There should be a lot of food. Let's borrow it first and supply it to them later. Banxia, please go back and tell your grandpa that they can understand such a big happy event for our family.
"Yes." The old man continued.
"Grandpa, this is inappropriate..." Brother Erlang hurriedly stopped him.
"My relatives don't care about that." The old man said firmly.
Bai Banxia stood up suddenly, "Grandpa, those things were given by the Li family to other people's relatives. I just gave them to others, and I am not qualified to use them for myself. They asked us to ask for them, and they also gave us gifts. On the one hand, they cherish us.
On the other hand, this relative trusts us, so how can we have the dignity to be used by others?"
The eldest uncle also spoke up, "Absolutely not. Many of my things are given to Lu'er. What can you do to make up for them later?"
"I've finished eating. I'm going to send the things to my grandma's house first. In addition, I have to go to Mr. Nan for treatment today, so I can't come back to help." Bai Banxia got angry, got up and walked directly out.
Qi Zhen also stood up, but did not speak to the old man. Instead, he said to Bai Tian and Zhang Lingzhi: "Mom, Dad, I'm going to help Banxia."
"Okay, take good care of her." Bai Tian responded immediately.
With a bang, the old man overturned the entire table.
"Ah..." Lin Rongrong screamed in fright, and his face turned pale.
Bai Shenggen felt very distressed and hurriedly helped her up and said, "If you feel uncomfortable, I will help you go back to rest first."
Bai Banxia looked back and found that her sister-in-law was winking at her quietly, and she felt relieved.
Lin Rongrong is a smart person. It is too unsafe to be there at this time, so he might as well hide in the house because of his discomfort.
"If you dare to leave, don't enter this house!" The old man shouted at Bai Banxia.
Now Bai Tian was also angry. He stopped him and said, "Dad, we have separated our families. You don't have to worry about whether my daughter can enter my house."
"You, you..." The old man was so angry that he almost lost his breath.
Bai Banxia winked at Qi Zhen, signaling him to grab his things and go out quickly, so as not to have to treat the old man again.
