Chapter 21: Recuperation in White House
Knowing that Zhou Bo was safe, Bai Yitian asked his attender to send Sanlang and others back without saying anything.
Seeing that Xue's clothes did not leave Zhou Bo, she lost several pounds, and her slap-sized little face was even sharper.
After Mrs. Bai knew it, she specially stuffed a lot of nourishing things, and Bai Yitian went back and forth many times a day.
Zhou Bo soon woke up from his coma. After knowing all this, he did not insist on leaving. He said to Bai Yitian, "I'm just disturbing Brother Bai."
Xue saw that he covered his mouth and sneered. Zhou Bo was flat on the poetry book, and his face was cold and dark, but he smelled like Bai Yitian's smiling tiger.
Zhou Bo has a poor appetite, his face is getting worse and worse, and he is even less talkative. Thanks to Bai Yitian's amazing words, the two complement each other.
Xu Cong'an came to see it every day. He said to Xuejian easily, "The reply is acceptable. At this stage, food is not as good as medicine."
Looking at Zhou Boren's always wither recently, Xuejian naturally called it.
"Xu Weng, Xuejian has prepared some medicinal diet prescriptions. Can you always listen to them? Is it suitable for my young master?" Xuejian is not used to using a brush, and she doesn't want to bother the injured Zhou Bo.
Xue Jian stayed to serve Zhou Bo. Xu Cong'an had the intention to accept her as a female disciple. Unfortunately, Xue Jianzhi was not here and could not read, which made Xu Cong'an sigh for a long time.
At this time, I heard that Xue saw a few small prescriptions, all of which were conducive to the healing of bone wounds. Xu Cong'an was secretly surprised and carefully thinking about adding a few flavors of traditional Chinese medicine to each prescription.
Xue saw that he was naturally very grateful, so he bothered Bai Yitian's little man and went to the butcher's shop to buy seven or eight big stick bones.
The population of Baifu is extremely simple. In front is the county government, and behind it is the mansion. Bai has no concubine. The old couple came late to have a son, strict father and mother, and they are happy. There is also an old housekeeper at home. The cook is the mother-in-law of the old housekeeper, and the couple have always followed for nothing. Mrs. Bai had only one rough girl and a big girl, but Bai Yitian did not have a room, only two small maids.
The most lively place in Baifu is now the guest room. Zhou Bo and Xu Cong'an live in a small courtyard. Although everyone in Baifu is very kind to them, Xue Jian is also embarrassed to always bother others. Therefore, the small kitchen that has not been opened for a long time has been used again, and the newly bought big stick bones are naturally stewed on a small fire every day, making the small courtyard fragrant every day.
In order to facilitate Zhou Bo's recuperation, she tried her best to make medicinal diet every day. Anyway, the things in Baifu are much better than the Zhou family.
Xuejian, a country girl, quickly conquered everyone with her unique cooking skills.
After Xu Cong'an first tasted several times in the name of checking the medicinal diet, Xue Jian found that the old magic doctor had eaten more than Zhou Bo and had no choice but to get a small stove for Xu Cong'an every day. Unexpectedly, Bai Yitian refused to leave at the meal time on the pretext of helping Xu Cong'an every day. Xue saw that she was helpless and had to roll her eyes. Prepare more food for one person.
Broken leg, this is a big thing. Although there is a doctor Xu Shen, who claims to have been a leading doctor, and the care of the county magistrate, the Zhou family is still very scared. Er Niang is not good and always shows up, so she sent Sanlang over in two or three days.
"What did Sanlang send this time?" Bai Yitian is full of interest.
I could hear it clearly for a long time and said with my hand, "Such a long fresh carp is seven or eight catties."
"What?" Bai Yitian doubted that this week's family should be a very depressed businessman. Why is the things sent so rare? Last time it was a fresh, white and tender Ruyi dish, which has surprised Mrs. Bai. Last time it was green and pleasant garlic sprouts, even her serious father.
"Young master, you said that this fish and the previous dishes seem to have been changed out of thin air!" Without saying a word.
But he said, "If the Zhou family has this ability, it's better to make Master Bai's legs better out of thin air first."
He glanced at him and said flatteringly, "Young master, if you can't make such a good fish, won't you ruin Zhou Jia Sanlang's heart?"
Bai Yitian's eyes lit up and said, "This is the most right sentence you said today!"
He hurried to Zhou Bo's guest room. Bai Yitian said with a bitter face, "Brother Zhou, your Sanlang is too polite, but after staying in the humble house for a few days, he brought fresh food several times."
Zhou Bo smiled indifferently and knew that although he was not at home, everyone did not put down the work that should be done in the town.
Xue Jian looked at Bai Yitian coldly, "Master Bai, you still have something to say."
Bai Yitian laughed and said, "It's still Xuejian girl's clear that these good things naturally need to be eloquenced, so I have to trouble Xuejian's girl to cook in person."
Although Xuejian hurt Bai Yitian's words fiercely, he still made a few dishes in his hand. Even Bai Zhixian and his wife fell in love with Xuejian's craftsmanship, but it was just like Xu Cong'an and Bai Yitian who bothered Xuejian every day.
"Dalang, you have nothing to do. Why don't you play Gobang with Xuejian?" Xuejian proposed.
"It's you who is bored, okay, let me win you a few times." Because his recovery is beyond imagination, Zhou Bo is in a better and better mood.
"No, I just put it in the wrong position," Xue saw the destruction of the Nth round of chess.
Zhou Bo took the little braids that Xue saw. Before he could speak, Bai Yitian came in.
Pretending not to see the two's small movements, Bai Yitian squeezed away the snow and sat opposite Zhou Bo. He lowered his head and wondered, "How can you play chess? Why is it so strange?"
"What's so strange about this? I can only say that Master Bai is ignorant!" Xuejian looked at the brightly dressed Bai Yitian and curled the corners of her mouth.
Bai Yitian also showed no weakness at all, "At least I'm just ignorant, but I will never destroy chess!"
Xuejian suddenly choked, "I want you to take care of it!"
"Wolite!" Zhou Bo knew that playing with his mouth had not always been Xue Jian's talent and stared at her, "Why don't you pour tea for Brother Yitian!"
"If he wants to drink, won't he pour it down?" Xue saw that she bulged her cheeks, but she still poured the tea respectfully.
"The tea is good. I will forgive you." Bai Yitian's quarreling skills are much higher than Xuejian. He only went back and forth, and Xuejian jumped with anger.
Zhou Bo shook his head when he heard this, afraid that if they would quarrel again, his ears would not be quiet this afternoon, so he started to play chess with Bai Yitian.
Originally, he borrowed a pair of Go from Bai Yitian to let Zhou Bo kill time, but after Bai Yitian found this strange gameplay called Lian Wuzi, it became his greatest pleasure. It is Bai Yitian's most commonly used method to squeeze away Xuejian with the prince's spectrum.
The group of the unscrupulous nymboy Bai Yitian and the forced young master Zhou Bo, because of Bai Yitian's exaggeration and frankness, is even more basic, and Xue Jian is slandered in his heart. Alas, who made her not learn well in the combination of abusive words in her past life and this life?
"Yitian, you are too idle, so you bully Xue Jian's girl when you have nothing to do." Or Xu Cong'an came in from the outside and saved the scene.
Bai Yitian listened and laughed happily.
Every day after dinner, he patted his bulging belly and burped. Bai Yitian held a shelf and had no snow in his eyes. Not to mention how comfortable it was. Looking at the little girl pouted and rolling her eyes, she looked at him angrily, like a frog. It's so funny.
In the evening, Xue Jian said to Zhou Bo angrily, "Just because his Bai family is so cheap, I have to be bullied by him every day. I'm at a loss!"
"Why, are you still angry?" Zhou Bo said lazily, "I think you usually talk so much that it's a headache. What's wrong? Let the young master of the Bai family compare?
Xue rolled her eyes and said positively, "I don't care about him!"
After saying that, Xuejian gently waited on Zhou Bo to change his clothes.
Zhou Bo had a smile in his eyes, but said, "I'm clumsy and talkative, that is, I can tolerate you, hey..." His shoulder was bitten by Xue Jian, and Zhou Bo said hatefully, "When I'm good, I'll take care of you!"
In this way, he lived in Anning County until the first month. Zhou Bo refused to continue to disturb the Bai family. Bai Yitian heard him briefly talk about the situation of the family. Think about it. In these days when Zhou Bo was away, the family must have turned over and no longer retained him. He only sent Zhou Bo and the others back to Pingshan Village in person.
When Xue saw it, he thought that Bai Yitian's character was not too bad.
Of course, when Xuejian was about to leave, she did not hide her secret. She taught them how to cultivate Ruyi vegetables and garlic sprouts. After knowing it, Mrs. Bai came to thank her in person, which made Xuejian very embarrassed.
Such as Er Niang and others, who washed their faces with tears at home all day, were sad and excited when they saw Zhou Bo's rosy face but came back with splints. Several neighbors also ran to help. Everyone saw that Xue had also lost a lot of weight, and Xiaoyue and other people's eyes were also red.
As the weather slowly warms up, Xu Cong'an will come to visit Zhou Bo's leg injury every ten days, and occasionally live for two or three days. Bai Yitian and his two little men are silent, and they come to live together every time, not treating themselves as outsiders at all.
Zhou Bo was not polite to them. Every time he saw the precious medicinal materials brought by Xu Cong'an, he rudely asked Er Niang to accept them.
As for Bai Yitian, Zhou Bo directly discussed with him how to manage the only ten mu of land in his family.
Although Bai Yitian was exhausted and lazy, his father was erudite and friendly to the people. He was not really unlearned and helped them inquire about the new crops launched by the state government - peanuts, corn and potatoes. Because everyone has no experience and dare not live on these things on ten acres of land.
Bai Yitian asked someone to inquire. The news from the State Farming Department is that potatoes are relatively cold-resistant and can be replanted cold. Corn and peanuts have not been tried in this state. If they are willing to try, they can be exempted from tax for three years.
Everyone discussed that it would be better to take out two mu to grow wheat, and the remaining eight mu should be planted with rice. There are many families, and rice is more productive than wheat. After the wheat is harvested, the two mu of land will be planted with corn and one mu of peanuts. Even if the harvest is confiscated, it will not affect anything. As for potatoes, it's not too late to harvest all the crops and plant them again.
So, the Zhou family's spring farming officially began.
