Chapter 41: The Universal Blame Taker

Listening to Xiaowu's self-replenishment, Bai Yunxi was very satisfied. Not bad, that's the taste.

Before Bai Yunxi could speak, the second brother and his wife came with baskets and sacks on their backs.

"Mom, the baskets and sacks are all here."

"Then let's go quickly. It's still early. Mom will take you there."

Bai Yunxi glanced at Xiaowu, "You stay and clean up the remaining weeds, and then you can go home."

Bai Ansheng shook his head, "I'll go with you. I can also carry a bag."

'Who said that a scholar is useless? In addition to studying, he is also strong. '

Listening to Xiaowu's thoughts and looking at his stubborn face, Bai Yunxi was happy. How could she refuse the opportunity to voluntarily exercise?

This kid looked down on his brothers and wanted to be a lone hero. According to her previous personality, she was surrounded by lame brothers, and it would be easier to fight alone.

But now it's about her life. If she wants to run, there's no way.

"That's good. Brothers work together and their strength is invincible."

Hide the hoe in the weeds to prevent it from being picked up by others.

The mothers carried their tools and baskets and came to the valley.

Bai Yunxi panted and pointed at the beet field, "Pull out all of this, mother, take a breath."

Li helped Bai Yunxi sit on a stone to rest. The three of them worked together, two were responsible for pulling the beets, and one was responsible for cleaning and packing them into sacks.

"Mother, how do you eat this kind of beet?"

Li carried a bunch of them to Xiaowu, then turned to her mother-in-law to ask.

"This beet has another name, called red beet, and it is harvested once every two years."

As Bai Yunxi said this, he found that Xiaowu's ears moved. Although this kid didn't like to talk, it didn't prevent him from listening at all.

"We eat its juice, which can be used to make a thick red soup, but mother doesn't make soup, she wants to use it to make sugar cane."

"...Can this thing make sugar?"

Not only Li was shocked, the two brothers were also surprised. This ugly and weird thing can make sweet sugar cane?

"Mom, how do you know this thing can make sugar?" Bai Anyan picked up a beet head and smelled it. There was no sweetness at all.

"Your father brought back a book of miscellaneous notes with pictures. I thought it was novel, so I flipped through it and found this thing in it. At that time, I thought about going into the mountains to look for it, but your father laughed at me and I put it aside. I didn't expect to meet it today."

It's good to have an old scholar to take the blame, so there is no burden to say anything.

The Li couple nodded frequently, without any doubt. But Xiaowu put a beet head into the basket, with doubts in his eyes.

"Mom, do you still have that miscellaneous book?"

'If this thing can really make sugar, I haven't heard mother mention such an important thing before? '

Knowing that this kid is not easy to fool, Bai Yunxi shook her head,

"I gave it to your father after reading it. I really don't know where it is. Your father said that books like miscellaneous books are very popular because they include customs and folk customs from all over the world and strange people. If it is not in the packed books, it should be borrowed."

Xiaowu listened to Bai Yunxi's explanation and shut up directly.

Their family started collecting books since their grandfather's generation. Everyone knows that they have many books and there are always people borrowing them.

For those who love reading, the old scholar is never stingy. As long as they cherish the books and return them on time, it's fine.

The family has long been accustomed to borrowing books.

The annoying epidemic has used up all the salt... If the lockdown is not lifted, there is no place to lick the dirt. By the way, the new article is opened, and there is a wave of collection~
