Chapter 620: A Small Barbecue

Bai Yunxi looked at her daughter's gentle face and felt helpless. Although this girl had been changed a lot by her, her temper was still as soft as water.

"Some people just like to push their noses in their faces. When faced with unreasonable people, you have to be tough. Only when people know that you are not easy to mess with will they be afraid of you."

After listening to her mother's teachings, Bai Jingjing's face turned red, a little ashamed, "Mom, I am so soft-tempered, I let you down."

She also wanted to change, but was always unable to do so.

"Why are you disappointed? Some personalities are innate, and some can be changed the day after tomorrow. Don't rush, just take your time."

Bai Yunxi smiled. The temper you have developed is not so easy to change. It sounds like it was all caused by the original owner's neglect.

"Don't worry, Mom, I will work hard to become stronger. I also want to help Mom." Bai Anjing clenched her fists. She will work hard. She can't let her mother and brothers protect her all the time.

After the people were driven away by her, Baiyunxi didn't take it to heart, but attracted the Baiyunshan couple.

"I heard that someone came to your door to make trouble again? Who are they? I'll go find them."

Before Baiyunshan could speak, Mrs. Zhang held her waist and spoke.

"Some people just can't be too generous, they don't take advantage enough, and they don't want others to have a better time."

Seeing Zhang's posture, Bai Yunxi couldn't help laughing, "Sister-in-law, don't be angry, I have already kicked her away. With their little thoughts, they can't make me angry."

Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I can use them to practice talking and teach my daughter on the spot.

"It's okay. I'll talk to them later. This kind of thing will never happen again."

Baiyunshan holds his hands behind his back. People in the village are chatty and have many thoughts, so they need to be struck at the right time.

After sending his cousin and his wife away, Baiyunxi took a look at the sky. Although it was cold, it was a sunny day.

Watching his daughter preparing dinner in the kitchen, Bai Yunxi leaned over and looked at the several pork chops and eggs placed on the table.

"What are you going to do? Do you want help?"

"Mom, I can do it myself. I'm going to stew the pork chops, add a few ground eggs, and bake a boiled egg. That's enough for the rest of us."

Seeing her busy, Bai Yunxi looked at a large piece of pork chop and thought for a moment.

"Do we still have any leftover bamboo charcoal from last year?"

"Yes, there are still two baskets left." Bai Anjing looked at the weather outside. It was indeed a bit cold. It would be enough to light the charcoal fire earlier. Anyway, the second brother has burned a lot this year and hasn't opened the cellar yet.

"Go get some to burn. I've marinated the pork chops. Let's have a small barbecue tonight."

Baiyunxi put on an apron, looked at the seasonings on the chopping board, took a basin, and started marinating.

The mother and daughter were busy in the kitchen. It wasn't until the smell of barbecue filled the yard that Wenyou emerged.

“It smells so good.

"It smells good. This is my secret barbecue." Baiyunxi flipped the ribs on the rack and brushed the sauce on them.

Wenyou came closer curiously and smelled it. The aroma of meat mixed with many spices was really appetizing.

"In the past, when we were performing tasks outside, in addition to dry food and dried meat, we also occasionally grilled meat. We simply sprinkled some salt on it, but it didn't have such a strong aroma."

"Then today you have a good taste of my craftsmanship."

Now that the charcoal fire was started, Baiyunxi didn't want to waste it, so he asked his daughter to prepare sweet potato slices and some vegetable steamed bun slices and bake them together.

When a large plate of food was put on the table, Xiao Si also came back in the afterglow.

The second brother and his wife were not at home, so they just finished a large plate of small barbecue. To accompany the barbecue, Baiyunxi also opened a jar of fruit wine to add to the fun.

Xiao Si chewed the last pork chop, still a little bit unsatisfied.

"Mom, the pork chop is really good when grilled like this. Are you having a meal tomorrow?"

"There's nothing wrong with this. When you come back from town tomorrow, just bring back some pork chops. I'll let your second brother and sister-in-law eat them too."

As he said that, Bai Yunxi glanced at the already dark sky. He didn't know if the two of them were back or were staying overnight.

After dinner, Baiyunxi took Wenyou out for a walk, and took a walk along the official road to see if they could meet the couple.

"Aunt Bai, don't worry, maybe you were delayed on the way."

After the war, places like the countryside are still very safe. The people are accustomed to working at sunrise and resting at sundown, and they almost stay behind closed doors at dusk.

"I wouldn't worry if they were kept overnight. I'm just worried that they would be traveling at night, in the dark, and the roads are full of potholes. It's not safe after all."

The biggest disadvantage here is that communications are underdeveloped. Transportation basically relies on walking, communication basically relies on shouting, and public security basically relies on dogs.

If you want to know what's going on, being impatient can drive you to death.

Fortunately, after the war ended, there was no disturbance and there was no need to worry about personal safety. However, there were no street lights, so I had to go back blind.

She had known that she would ask them to bring a lantern, but she was not thoughtful.

Du's family can be bothered about returning to her parents' home for a month. It is estimated that the Du family is not a good family, and the chance of the second child and his wife coming back is relatively high.

Baiyunxi held her hands and paced back and forth on the roadside. After waiting for a long time, she still didn't hear the sound of the bullock cart, so she had no choice but to go back.

I comforted myself in my heart, just in case the Du family felt that the journey was far away, they might leave someone behind.

When they got home, the three siblings came to greet them, "Second brother and sister-in-law haven't come back yet?"

"If you don't see anyone, go to sleep. Everything will be fine."

Bai Yunxi waved his hands to several people, and then simply washed himself, then sat on the Arhat bed, propped his head up, and listened to the goings on outside.

"Aunt Bai, shall I go to meet them on the road?"

"No need. Mrs. Du's parents' home is far away, and it will take at most two hours to get there. I guess they are staying overnight." No matter how mean the in-laws who haven't visited for several years are, they will not be reluctant to give up a meal and a night's accommodation.

It was past midnight, and no one came back. Bai Yunxi stood up, "Okay, let's all rest. They should be back tomorrow afternoon at the latest."

Wen You nodded, looked outside the door, got up, bolted the door, and went back to sleep.

Bai Yunxi lay on the bed, tossing and turning for a while, and couldn't help laughing. She was addicted to being an old lady.

She was actually worried that the second son and his wife would have trouble on the way.

Just when she was drowsy and wanted to fall asleep, the door was knocked. Bai Yunxi turned over and sat up immediately, and Wen You had already gone out to open the door.

At the same time, the whole family got up.

Xiao Si lit a torch and stuck it in the yard, took the reins, sent the cow into the cowshed, and added hay to it.

Under the torch, Bai Yunxi looked at Li's disheveled hair and was horrified.

"What happened?"

Li pouted, looking aggrieved, and fell into Bai Yunxi's arms.

"Mom, I fell."

"What happened? Where are you hurt? Mom asked Xiao Si to ask Doctor Yang to come."

Bai Yunxi patted Li's back soothingly and glared at Lao Er.

"How did you drive the car and it overturned?"
