Chapter 26 Let’s Get to Work

Bai Yunxi said, looking directly at Bai Anyi,

"Fourth brother, although your eldest brother often walks around the town, he has never been to the dock. Take him there tomorrow, help him register his name, and take care of him for a few days. Wait for your eldest brother to adapt before coming back to open up the wasteland.

Listening to his mother's instructions, Bai Anyi subconsciously wanted to refuse, but the words turned around when they came to his lips,

"Mom, don't worry, I promise to send my eldest brother there, and by the way, say hello to the head of the dock and ask him to take care of him. "

'My mother only said to take the eldest brother there, but she didn't say to let him participate in carrying the big bags. I don't know why, but I always feel that my mother is deliberately playing a trick on the eldest brother.'

Bai Yunxi listened to the fourth brother's thoughts and frowned. This kid is a bit of a jerk, but he is quite smart.

If you want to train the eldest brother, you have to start with the hardest and most tiring work.

If you don't feel pain or itch, you won't remember it.

"Okay, go down and prepare. Tomorrow morning, everyone will be busy according to the division of labor. Fourth brother, tomorrow your eldest brother will pay for carrying the bag and go directly to the grain store to buy rice. The food at home is only enough for tomorrow's day."

Bai Anyi listened to his mother's instructions and nodded repeatedly,

"Don't worry, mother, I will definitely buy rice tomorrow."

"Carrying a big bag is a hard work. Generally, a strong man can earn 70 or 80 coins a day. Your eldest brother is participating for the first time, and it's good to earn 30 or 50 coins. We can't afford refined rice, so just buy brown rice.

There was no unrest during this period, and the price of rice was stable. Brown rice was the staple food of the people, seven cents per liter, and old brown rice was six cents.

Refined rice was expensive, and one liter could be exchanged for two to three liters of brown rice.

"Don't worry, mother, I will definitely do it." Bai Anyi looked at his eldest brother's tense face, and a gloating look flashed in his eyes.

'Ha~, this trick of my mother is really too hurtful. The eldest brother always regards himself as a father to his elder brother. Every time I see him, his nose is not a nose, and his eyes are not eyes. Now it's his turn to show it, don't let him down. '

Everyone was arranged by Bai Yunxi. As an elder, she made the final decision and let everyone go.

Bai Anchen followed Du back to their shack, looking at the dark and damp house, his face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

Mrs. Du poured him a glass of water and held it in front of him.

"My husband, you have worked hard on the way. Have a cup of tea to moisten your throat."

"Were you mute just now? When mother assigned me a job just now, didn't you know to stop me?"

Bai Anchen looked at his wife in front of him, his eyes revealing undisguised disdain.

She looked gloomy and annoying.

"The work assigned by mother cannot be refuted. Mother blocked the objections of my second and fourth brothers. Besides, the family can't make ends meet. Mother must be anxious, so she is like this."

Mrs. Du looked at the man in front of him with a calm look.

Bai Anchen wanted to slam the table and smash the bowl to vent his anger, but he was afraid that the noise would be too loud and let his mother hear it. He could only suppress his anger and roar at Mrs. Du,

"You can't make ends meet, so you put all the burden on me. Letting a scholar carry heavy bags at the dock is ridiculous. Sooner or later, my face will be lost by you."

Mrs. Du pursed her lips and didn't answer. This cowardly man only knew how to roar at her when he was angry.

It wasn't her who asked you to carry the heavy bag, so go and argue with your mother-in-law if you have the guts.

Watching him fall on the bed with his head raised and covered with a quilt, Mrs. Du turned around numbly and went out. After moving, there were still many things to sort out, and she couldn't sit idle.

After assigning the work, Bai Yunxi also went into her room and started to sort the items.
