Chapter 621 The Cow Has Been Hungry for a Day
Seeing several people staring at him, Bai Anyan wiped his face, turned his head to look at his wife's aggrieved look, and felt suffocated in his heart.
"It was too dark, the road was not easy to walk, and she encountered a pit. Li didn't pay attention and fell down. I checked her, and her arms and legs were fine."
Bai Yunxi looked at Li who was crying on her shoulder, and patted her soothingly.
"Xiao Jing, go and boil some hot water and let your second sister-in-law wash."
"Hey~, I'll go right away."
It was the first time that Bai Anjing saw Li in such a mess. When she left, she not only had a bun, but also brought flowers. Now the flowers are gone, and her hair is messy. If you don't know, you might think she was robbed.
Fortunately, she came back at night. If it was in broad daylight, people might spread gossip.
"Youyou, can you check Li to see if her bones are injured?"
Wenyou went over and checked Li. Except for some scratches on her arms and calves, her bones were fine.
"Second brother and second sister-in-law, you are also visiting relatives, why do you act like you are fleeing?" Xiao Si shook his head, speechless.
Hearing Xiao Si's tone, Li cried even more sadly, "Mom, Brother Yan and I haven't had dinner yet."
As she spoke, Li's stomach made a gurgling sound, which surprised Bai Yunxi, and then she couldn't help shaking her mouth.
"Xiao Si, hurry up, ask your sister to make two bowls of clear soup noodles for them, add a poached egg for each person, you help your sister to light the fire, hurry up."
After going out, he came back hungry.
Bai Yunxi had a dark face and invited the two to come in, "Drink some water first, the noodles will be ready soon. Tell me, what happened?"
Before Bai Yunxi could speak, Li couldn't hold it back, wiped her face, and narrated the Du family's reception like a bamboo tube pouring beans.
"Mom, my sister-in-law's family is really not that good. My brother Yan and I kindly sent my sister-in-law there. At first, the Du family welcomed us to sit in with a smile. I thought that after traveling for half a day, I had to drink some water. My sister-in-law said that we should stay for lunch before leaving, and we could get home by dark."
"We didn't think much about it. It was just a meal... Who knew that they only accompanied us to talk, drank a belly full of water, and delayed lunch until Shenshi."
"When I went to the toilet, I accidentally heard Mrs. Du pointing her finger and muttering about my sister-in-law, saying that we sent her there but she refused to leave, just wanting to eat for free. My sister-in-law said that the road was long and the weather was cold, and it was not appropriate to let people go back without eating."
"Then Mrs. Du cursed again, saying that my sister-in-law was useless, lived a depressed life, and couldn't even protect a man... She kept muttering for a long time, and finally I saw my sister-in-law stuffed a string of money into her mother, and the old lady stopped scolding."
Bai Yunxi: "..."
The Du family didn't go back empty-handed, so what?
"The Du family started eating after that. Each person got a bowl of noodles and a bowl of pickled cabbage to go with the rice... I guess if my sister-in-law didn't give me money, my brother Yan and I would definitely not have been able to eat."
Hearing Li's dissatisfied tone, Bai Yunxi felt bad. She thought the Du family was not good, but she didn't think they could be so stingy.
Looking at Li's aggrieved look, this person is a foodie. He would feel uncomfortable if he missed a meal, let alone not being allowed to eat?
"Okay, okay, we don't need that meal. Just come back safely. Tomorrow, mother will grill you."
Bai Yunxi comforted her daughter and asked Li to wash up and change clothes first when she saw her daughter carrying hot water.
Seeing Li carrying a bucket into the house to change clothes, Bai Yunxi looked at the second son who looked unhappy.
"Is the Du family so bad?"
Bai Anyan recalled the experience of the day and smiled bitterly.
"It's about the same. We had a meal to fill our stomachs, and the father and son of the Du family asked me questions again. It was getting dark. Li kept urging us to leave, so we hurried back overnight."
"On the way, Li kept complaining to me, saying that the Du family didn't want to stay overnight, saying that staying overnight would waste two meals of food."
Bai Yunxi choked. No wonder Du was so entangled. It's better to go back less often in the future.
Bai Anyan scratched his head, "In fact, we should have come back after sending my sister-in-law to the place. At that time, I thought that I was thirsty after traveling for half a day, so I thought I would just drink some water and leave, but who knew that I would encounter such an embarrassing thing."
Xiao Si patted Bai Anyan's shoulder and looked at him sympathetically,
"If you drink water from stingy people, they will feel uncomfortable. In short, stay away from such people in the future. The child of the Du family lived in our house for a year before, and my mother didn't say anything. What's wrong with you eating his meal?"
"Why didn't my sister-in-law and Yaya come back with us?"
Xiao Wu looked at his second brother and spoke in a deep voice. It's okay for my sister-in-law, after all, she is the daughter of the Du family. What if Yaya, the niece, is hungry?
"Old Lady Du said that she hadn't seen her daughter for three years, so she let her daughter and niece stay for two days, and then she would ask Uncle Yaya to send them back in person. My sister-in-law agreed, so we rushed back overnight."
Bai Yunxi took a deep breath. Fortunately, she asked her to bring a lot of gifts, and she had given Du a lot of personal money in the past few years. As for how much she took away, she didn't interfere. I just hope that Old Lady Du will not wrong her granddaughter for the sake of these things.
When the fragrant clear soup noodles were served, Li and Bai Anyan started to eat them with big mouthfuls.
"Hmm, it's really delicious. Our food is still delicious. The clear soup noodles of the Du family are watery and lumpy, and have no taste at all."
Li didn't forget to comment while eating, and Bai Yunxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Her clear noodle soup is clear, with white pepper, chopped green onion, a little soy sauce and homemade shrimp powder. The finishing touch is a spoonful of lard, dissolved in boiling water, and put in the cooked noodles and poached eggs. It is light and fragrant, and tastes super delicious.
After a big bowl of noodles, the two of them also recovered.
Bai Yunxi looked at the two of them, "It's getting late, and the road has been bumpy for so long. Go to bed quickly. If there is anything, we will talk tomorrow."
"Hey~,"
Bai Anyan agreed and took Li away. Before leaving, Li did not forget to turn back and praise the beef at home.
"Mom, our cow is so amazing. It can remember the way to my sister-in-law's house after one trip. If it hadn't led the way, we might have gone the wrong way... It's even worse than us. It hasn't eaten grass for a day."
Bai Yunxi's mouth twitched and waved her hand,
"I'll ask Xiao Si to prepare more grass for it later, add some beans, and give it a good meal."
A working ox is like a donkey. They know the way and are very accurate.
Watching the couple return to the house, Bai Yunxi realized that several people were staring at her with big eyes and small eyes,
"What are you looking at? Go away and go back to sleep."
After all, Mrs. Du is their sister-in-law, and they can't let them gossip behind her back.
After tossing so late, Bai Yunxi was also sleepy. At her age, it is not suitable for her to stay up late, which is easy to send people away.
The next day,
When she opened her eyes and looked at the purple curtain, she was dazed for a while, and heard low voices coming from the yard.
