Chapter 55 Monthly Break and Return Home
The whole family came out to greet her happily. The two little boys, Bai Yu and Bai Liulang, hugged her thighs and shouted, "Sister, why haven't you come home for so long? We miss you so much," and never let go.
After seeing that everyone in the family was fine, Bai Li grabbed Luo Yang's big bag, opened it on the spot, and started taking things out.
A big bag is filled with dried pheasant, rabbit, and various meat strips and jerky.
The other bag contained various foods, including steamed buns, steamed bread, various cakes and pastries, and a lot of candies.
She secretly asked the kitchen staff to help her make the noodles last night using flour. Because it was mixed with chopped wild vegetables, it looked similar to the wild vegetable steamed buns we usually eat.
Bai Li told the soldier guarding the gate that he had saved some money for his family. The two young soldiers were so moved that they just took a look and let him go.
Captain Bai, the top boss of the entire military camp, turned out to be a filial daughter who would rather starve herself than save rations for her family.
Wow, this is so touching.
No, I must tell my good brothers about it when I get laid off, otherwise it will be too uncomfortable to keep it in!
Bai Li: You are the only ones who believe it. You can’t even see the steam coming out?
The people in the kitchen wanted to make breakfast, so they simply got up an hour earlier to make it. Bai Li got up early and took it. How could it not be steaming?
As for the cakes and candies, she secretly took them from the space and put them into a big bag after leaving the military camp.
Seeing her stop tinkering, Luo Yang thought the bag was too heavy, so he snatched it away and carried it on his back.
A child gave Bai Li a handful of candy, and he finally freed his legs.
"Li'er, did you really save up your money?"
Li Mingyue choked up while holding the steamed bun, and pulled her daughter over to look at it carefully.
See if you have lost weight or are injured.
"Mom, I'm fine, look!"
Bai Li turned around with her to show her family that she was not only safe and sound, but also lively and energetic.
"I left this because I don't like it. I'm not being stingy..."
Facing the concerned family members, Bai Li said the same words countless times.
It wasn't until Luo Yang came forward and said it that everyone believed it.
The young man, with a smile that showed only his big white teeth, was talking excitedly about Bai Li's "great achievements" in the military camp.
"Sister, do you really eat meat every meal, and change the way you eat it?"
"Sister, what does it feel like to eat meat every meal?"
When it comes to eating meat, six-year-old Bai Liulang's mouth is watering.
Bai Yu looked at his brother with disdain and silently chewed the candy in his mouth.
Although there was meat at home, grandma didn't allow us to cook too much. Every time she cooked, she only put a few thin slices of meat in the stewed potatoes and cabbage. After such a long time, all the meat in the house was eaten up.
Before, Bai Li had more than 100 kilograms of wild boar meat and dozens of pheasants and rabbits, but Li decided to raise the chickens and rabbits and only eat wild boar meat.
In this way, the more than 100 kilograms of meat were eaten up no matter how frugal they were.
There's no way, there are many people in my family.
Bai Zongren's two younger brothers each had a family of four. Together with Bai Fu's family of three, there were a total of sixteen people. No matter how thinly and small the meat was cut, not everyone could get a share.
Although the two little ones got a small piece of meat, they hadn't eaten meat in big bites for a long time, and they were curious about what it felt like to eat meat as a meal.
Bai Li scratched the two little ones' noses and said, "You greedy little cats, I'll let you eat as much meat as you want at noon!"
"Really?"
"Are you guys being good at home?"
"I'm a good boy. I help cut grass and feed the rabbits and pheasants every day."
Bai Yu shook her little head, looking very proud.
"And me, I also helped collect firewood and dig wild vegetables."
"If you're so good, you'll have meat to eat later!"
"Okay, okay!"
The two little ones clapped their hands and jumped for joy, but in doing so, the candies scattered all over the floor.
"Oh, there's some candy on the ground!"
Bai Wulang is the younger one and usually loves to play with his two younger siblings. Now he deliberately wants to pick up candy, which makes the two little ones almost cry. They keep saying, "Fifth brother is bad, Fifth brother, you can't pick up my candy, that's mine!"
It made everyone laugh.
Bai Yue's eyes turned green when she saw so much food.
Although her family raised a few pheasants and rabbits in the past month, they only had two meals with meat and then stopped eating.
He ate coarse noodles with wild vegetables every day, and his face turned green from eating so much.
If you say you’re not greedy when you see food now, you’d be lying.
Also, why didn’t the woman become darker or uglier after entering the military camp, but instead became whiter and more tender than before?
And she works in the fields every day, where is she still as charming as she used to be?
Thinking that I was not as good-looking as her to begin with, she now made me look even older and uglier.
Bai Yue cast an envious and jealous look at her, and the vegetable basket in her hand was twisted out of shape by her.
"You idiot girl asked you to go dig some wild vegetables, why are you still standing here?
If you delay your father and brother's meal, they will beat you again.
Look! Even if you can see the flowers, those things won’t give you a single cent. Tell me, are you cheap or not…”
Mu came out of the wooden house and started to curse at people, destroying the cheerful and peaceful atmosphere.
Li's expression gradually changed, but as an elder, she couldn't argue with a younger person.
Li Mingyue would not tolerate her and immediately started to challenge her.
"Some people are really mean. They don't know how to be grateful when they are treated well by others. Instead, they think they are owed money. No matter how much they are given, it will never satisfy their appetite."
"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? Can't I even scold my daughter?"
Li Mingyue was furious. "I'll criticize whoever answered me. Some people are ungrateful and won't let anyone say anything!"
“…”
Bai Li picked her ears, listening impatiently. She didn't want to waste the rare two days of vacation.
"Aunt San, if your family wants to eat meat, ask Bai Yue to go to the barracks as well.
Why can I go but she can't?"
Bai Li's words hit the nail on the head. Mu Shi instantly lost her temper and Bai Yue also turned her head away.
“Every day there’s nothing but trouble!
If you had that much time, you could have gathered a couple more bundles of grass and fed the rabbits until they were fat and plump. "And you still think there's no meat to eat?"
Li couldn't help but give him a lecture.
Li Mingyue saw that the Mu family was defeated and stopped pursuing them.
"Why don't you take your things upstairs? Leaving them here is making people jealous again!"
After the mother-in-law gave the order, Li Mingyue, her two sisters-in-law, and Aunt Bai hurriedly packed up the things and took them upstairs.
Bai Li was thinking in his heart, how can he kick Bai Yue's family out, otherwise it would be an eyesore for them to live in the same yard.
Luo Yang was surrounded by the men of the Bai family and asked about what was happening in the military camp.
Even Bai Zongren, who was chopping wood at the side, pricked up his ears and listened, a look of longing on his face.
Bai Li felt sad when he saw this, and cursed the dog emperor in his heart for not being a human being. He didn't know how to cherish such a good and loyal and patriotic general.
Far away in the imperial palace in the capital, Zhou Yu sneezed twice in a row.
An inexplicable thought came to my mind, and I wanted to go out for a walk.
Where are you going?
Let’s go to Qianzhou. The secret guards reported that his sister Princess Yu had already arrived there. Unfortunately, the secret guards lost track of her there.
