Chapter 74 Compensation

"Hey~, I'll follow my mother's arrangement.

Mrs. Du was happy. It was a waste of effort to open up the land. She had to eat dry food. The food stored at home was almost used up.

No matter what Bai Yunxi planned, Bai Yunsong was satisfied.

After returning home, he helped the old man to sit on the bamboo chair and poured him a glass of water. "Dad, you take a rest. Your son will go to deal with something."

"Yunsong, stay for a while."

The old patriarch knocked his pipe on the chair leg, refilled it with tobacco, lit it, and took a few puffs.

The strong smoke choked him and made him cough.

"Dad, smoke less. Your throat can't stand it." The local tobacco was strong. After years of smoking, his teeth and nails were all smoked yellow.

"Don't talk about me first. What do you think? There is also the document signed by Yunxi girl, two strings of money, cough cough... Why did you let Yunxi girl hold your handle? . "

"Dad, my cousin is not capable of managing the private school now, and she knows it very well. She signed the agreement just to ask us to take care of her in the future. I understand, and she understands it too. She doesn't have the courage to make the agreement public, unless she doesn't care about Xiaowu's path to the imperial examination."

They are indeed a bit too much to ask for the private school.

But my cousin's husband is gone, and my cousin is an orphan and a widow. The private school will only fail in their hands.

As the patriarch of the Bai family and the head of the village, the private school is their glory, and he can't watch his cousin close it down due to poor management.

He will make up for his cousin's debt in other ways.

But he is determined to get the private school.

"Dad, I will ask Anbang to send two buckets of brown rice and one bucket of black flour to my cousin later, as compensation for them. ”

Right now, food is what they need most to sustain their lives, and everything else can be put aside.

When he was a child, he had been studying with his uncle, and later he dealt with his cousin's husband. As for his cousin, a girl, he didn't take it to heart.

Everyone said that she was lucky, her father was a scholar, and her husband was a juren, so her life was indeed not bad.

Sometimes, a peasant girl can't bear the wealth and can only end up in misery.

The old patriarch listened to his son's arrangement, considered it, and nodded,

"It's good to send some food over for emergency, you can't really let them starve. Just do it according to your plan, and take care of them in the future, which is also worthy of your uncle. ”

"Don't worry, dad, after all, they are relatives of the clan, and your son will not leave them alone. "It's OK to show some kindness appropriately, but if they want to use the private school to make money, they are just being clever."

The house was quiet, Bai Yunxi organized his things, and took Yaya to the river to fish again.

While it was hot, catch a few more fish and dry them in the sun, and make them into salted fish, which is also good for stewing in winter.

Today the weather was fine, Bai Yunxi took Yaya to sit under the shade of a tree, put the bait, put it in the water, and waited for the fish to bite.

After fishing with Bai Yunxi for two days, Yaya knew that she couldn't speak loudly, otherwise she would scare the fish away. Fortunately, she prepared a lollipop, and licked it from time to time to pass the time.

The grandparents and grandchildren stared at the fishing rod, waiting for the fish to bite.

"Hey~, have you heard that the widow Bai Yunxi asked her sons to open up wasteland in the back mountain every day. "

"How come I haven't heard of it? It's been two days, and it's still halfway up the hill. To me, Bai is really clueless. The hillside can't hold water, and the soil is very poor. It will die of drought."

"It's not her fault. On weekdays, the family has food and drink. Why does she need to work in the fields? It's a question whether she can tell the crops apart."
