Chapter 3 Eating Meat Buns



"Where is Xiao Song from?" Bai Zhenggan asked.

Song Zhi replied stiffly: "I am from the capital."

Tan Fenghui brought some cotton wool and tincture of iodine and wiped the wounds on Song Zhi's face and hands.

Song Zhi whispered, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

Bai Zhenggan asked him again: "Are you a student?"

Song Zhi was silent for a while before he said, "I... I'm not a student. I've already graduated from university. I was planning to stay on to teach, but in the end..."

Bai Zhenggan has been the village party secretary of Ruyi Village for many years and has seen the world.

Song Zhi was such a talented person, and he was already a university teacher, but why did he suddenly go to the countryside to become an educated youth? Seeing that Song Zhi was hesitant when talking about these things, and the capital is nearly two thousand miles away from the province, there must be a reason.

After thinking for a while, Bai Zhenggan said, "Since you are already here, just stay here peacefully. Our village is not rich, but our ideas are advanced. You can also teach in our village. Everyone is a screw of socialism. Why do we need to be screwed in?"

After a long time, Song Zhi said "hmm".

He felt a warm and soft touch behind him, and also seemed to be filled with a fresh, sweet fruity fragrance. He couldn't help but look back again.

——The beautiful girl with bright eyes, kind face, fair skin and black hair was looking at him curiously with her eyes full of charm.

Bai Zhenggan quickly explained, "It's okay, it's okay! Xiao Song, don't be so formal, this is my fourth daughter. Although she is seventeen years old this year, she has always been a child. You should just treat her like a red bean or a yellow bean..."

Song Zhi looked at the brother and sister Hongdou and Huangdou, who were only four or five years old, and understood.

He tried to give Bai Taotao a kind smile.

Bai Taoji looked at Song Zhi in surprise.

——No, isn’t this His Majesty the Immortal Emperor? how……

She was a little confused and couldn't help but think of her past life.

——In her previous life, Princess Bai Tao was a fairy peach, but not a peach tree fairy.

The difference is that she was originally a ripe white peach grown on the fairy peach tree, delicious, soft, and juicy. It was picked by a fairy and presented to the noble to enjoy. The nobleman held her in his hands for ten days and ten nights. Maybe he was thinking about something difficult? When he was about to eat her, the nobleman left in a hurry for some reason and put the fairy peach aside. The fairy peach was imbued with the spiritual energy of the nobleman and finally transformed into a human form.

This is Bai Taoji.

Later, because the fairy palace was unattended, she stumbled away in a daze and accidentally fell into the mortal world. People saw her beauty and wanted to harm her. Fortunately, she was rescued by an elder of the Mei Sect who passed by, and finally became a female disciple of the Mei Sect.

Who knows how many years had passed, but when it was the Immortal Emperor's birthday, people from all three realms and nine worlds sent gifts to celebrate his birthday. Bai Tao Ji also went with the elder of Mei Sect, and at the order of her master, she performed a dance for the Immortal Emperor at the banquet.

It was the first time she saw the Immortal Emperor and she was extremely surprised.

——It turns out that the Immortal Emperor was the nobleman who nourished her with spiritual energy in the past?

Coincidentally, the Immortal Emperor is also called Song Zhi!

this……

At this moment, Bai Taoji took a deep breath of the rich spiritual energy from the educated youth Song Zhi and looked at him curiously, wondering if he was really the Immortal Emperor Song Zhi? So, should she recognize him? Then ask him why she was dancing at his birthday party and was dancing just fine, but suddenly there was a bolt of lightning, and then she came here? Did he also come here because of that heavenly thunder?

There are so many people in the room right now that it seems difficult to ask.

Shirota sighed.

The breath she exhaled hit Song Zhi's face directly, like the fragrance of orchid and osmanthus, with a hint of peach fruit fragrance, which made Song Zhi blush.

Song Zhi rarely gets so close to a girl, especially one who is so beautiful as Bai Taotao. At this moment, the little beauty put her hands on his back and tilted her head to look at him curiously. Her fair and beautiful face was about to touch his face...

Tan Fenghui treated the wounds on Song Zhi's hands and face, and said gently to Bai Taotao, "Taotao, please sit down."

"Hey! Sit down - okay!" Bai Taoji answered obediently.

The girl was as beautiful as a flower, and her voice was sweet, crisp and delicate, just like a sweet, juicy peach that ripens in midsummer. It made Song Zhi's heart itch and numb, and the back of his neck turned red.

He tried hard to calm himself and pretend that he didn't care, but the tips of his ears had already turned red.

At this time, Bai Xingxing hurried back and shouted as soon as she entered the door, "Dad! Big brother and sister-in-law...ah, Song Zhi?"

Seeing Song Zhi, Bai Xingxing was stunned.

Bai Dongsheng was very surprised.

He looked at Song Zhi, then at Bai Xingxing, and asked curiously, "Xing'er, you and Song Zhi... do you two know each other?"

Song Zhi also looked at Bai Xingxing strangely - he had just arrived at Ruyi Village today, so of course he didn't know Bai Xingxing. So how did Xingxing know him? Still know his name?

Bai Xingxing thought quickly and said, "Ah, well, I just went to the Youth Educated Station..."

Hongdou tilted her head and said, "Huangdou and I went to the Youth Educator Station just now, but we didn't see Wugu!"

Bai Xingxing almost gave herself away, so she quickly tried to patch things up, "Oh, everyone had already dispersed when I got there hahahaha… I heard from someone that Big Brother brought Song Zhi home hahahaha…"

When Tan Fenghui married into the Bai family, the younger sisters were only seven, six, and five years old. She truly treated them as her own children. Seeing Bai Xingxing acting rashly, she scolded her, "I told you to stay at home and take care of your fourth sister. Where have you been? Did you know that your fourth aunt ran into the house to bully your fourth sister?"

Bai Xingxing screamed, "Aunt Four bullied my Fourth Sister again? I'm going to settle the score with her!"

Just about to run out——

Tang Liren and Bai Lili worked together to carry a large double-handled pot into the house. The faces of both mother and daughter were as gloomy as ink.

Bai Xingxing widened her eyes and asked, "Mom, Third Sister, what's wrong?"

Tang Liren ordered Hongdou, "Go and close the door first."

Bai Lili was so angry that her eyes turned red. She said, "Look for yourself!" She gestured to Bai Xingxing to look at the rice pot.

The Bai family has not yet split up, and the rule set by Bai Zhenggan is that each family takes turns cooking, with each family cooking for three days. It turned out that all four families were sitting in the yard eating together. But because there were many children and the sisters-in-law did not get along well, the scene was too chaotic. Finally, Old Mrs. Bai and Chen Juxiang made the decision and asked each room to distribute the food directly in the kitchen and then take it back to their own living room to eat.

When Bai Xingxing saw the pot, she was immediately furious.

Everyone saw it and couldn't help but frown.

——These days, every household is not rich. The Bai family’s custom is to drink liquid food in the morning and at noon, and eat dry food for dinner. The women have been taking turns cooking for a long time, and they can basically manage the amount of food for each room.

But the noodle soup we had at noon today was only two-thirds of the usual amount! Moreover, the soup was as thin as water, without many lumps of noodles.

Today it is Second Aunt's turn to cook. Second Aunt is recognized as a good person and has always been close to First Aunt. There is no way she would leave out First Aunt.

There is only one possibility——

Li Cui'er rushed to the kitchen first and scooped the batter from the big pot into her own pot!

Bai Zhenggan was the head of the family. Thinking that Song Zhi was here today, it was inconvenient to expose the internal conflicts in the family to outsiders, so he said in a deep voice: "Okay, okay, let's eat quickly! We can talk about it in the evening if there is anything."

Everyone sat around the table on the kang. Tan Fenghui greeted Song Zhi while arranging for Bai Lili and Bai Xingxing to bring bowls to serve the noodle soup...

Tang Liren glanced at Bai Zhenggan.

Bai Zhenggan and her have been married for many years, so they have some tacit understanding - his wife is asking him: Do you want to take out the meat buns?

There are many people in the family and we are not rich. I went to the county town and bought some meat buns, but I also calculated the amount based on the number of people and I was reluctant to spend money to buy one more. Now that Song Zhi is here, there is one less bun... Besides, the amount of noodle soup at noon is less than usual!

Bai Zhenggan was thinking: My son Bai Dongsheng has to go to work in the afternoon, how can he go hungry!

So he nodded to his wife.

Tang Liren understood and told her granddaughter, "Hongdou, bring it here quickly."

Hongdou ran over and got the bag of meat buns and handed it to Tang Liren.

Tang Liren already knew Song Zhi's basic situation under the guidance of her daughter-in-law, so she said to him with a smile: "Song Zhiqing, please don't be polite when you come to my house, just treat it as your own home."

Song Zhi was so obsessed with Bai Taotao that his face turned red and his whole body became weak. He wished he could leave right now...but in his heart, he also felt some strange and inexplicable feelings. After hearing what Tang Liren said, he lowered his head and said "hmm".

Tang Liren started to distribute the meat buns.

The whole family watched anxiously——

Bai Xingxing, Bai Dongsheng and Song Zhi had no idea what was going on and were very surprised when they saw the plump, round meat buns.

Tang Liren distributed the buns quickly and efficiently: one for each person, except for herself.

Bai Zheng gave a dry laugh, broke the meat bun in front of him into two halves, handed one half to his wife, and said to his children and grandchildren, "Why are you still standing there? Eat quickly!"

Tang Liren took the half bun handed to her by her husband and put it back in his bowl, "You are not in good health, you need to replenish your body!"

Bai Zhenggan said, "I lie down at home every day, what can I do to replenish my body? But you, if I fall down, I will rely on you for everything, you take care of me!"

Tan Fenghui stood up and said, "Dad, you eat yours. This one of mine is for Mom." As she said that, she picked up the meat bun in her bowl and put it into Tang Liren's bowl.

Tang Liren, "Come on, eat it! You're still pregnant!"

Bai Dongsheng, "Mom, please eat this. Hui'er brought me a boiled sweet potato this morning, but I didn't eat it until almost eleven o'clock. I'm not hungry now..."

Tang Liren disagreed, "That won't do. Now the family depends on you alone to work. You can't be the one not to eat..."

White pears, white apricots, red beans and yellow beans also started to cry out—

"Mom, I'll give you mine. I don't like meat buns!"

"Mom, you can eat mine. I will share it with my third sister!"

"Grandma, let me share a bun with you..."

"Grandma, I'll give you the meat filling, and you give me the bun skin..."

Seeing her children and grandchildren being filial, Tang Liren smiled.

Song Zhi looked at the meat buns in his bowl, then at the noodle soup in his bowl. He stood up and said to Bai Zhenggan, "Uncle, aunt, I... I have something else to do, so I'll go back first."

Bai Zhenggan hurriedly tried to keep him, "No, no matter what you want, eat first and leave later!"

Bai Dongsheng also advised, "Song Zhi, you should eat before you leave. It's already this late. If you go back to the Youth League Station, you probably won't have any food to eat."

Bai Taotao absorbed the spiritual energy for half a day and felt her mind clear and her limbs relaxed. She saw everyone pushing and shoving for a bun?

She grabbed the meat bun in her bowl and put it in Tang Liren's bowl, then grabbed the bun in front of Song Zhi and broke it in half, stuffing the smaller half with less meat into her mouth and the larger half with more meat into Song Zhi's mouth...

Song Zhi subconsciously opened his mouth and bit the bun.

Everyone was stunned.

"Mom, eat! Dad, eat!" Bai Taotao tilted her head and smiled at Song Zhi, "Brother Song Zhi...eat!"

Bai Zhenggan and Tang Liren were moved by their silly daughter, and they stopped trying to give way to each other and said to their children, "Eat, eat, eat quickly!"

Bai Taotao bit into the meat bun... Although the meat bun was delicious, she still felt that the spiritual energy from Song Zhi made her feel more comfortable. She held the bun in one hand and ate it slowly, while holding Song Zhi's arm stubbornly with the other hand.

——By being in contact with his body, the spiritual energy can be absorbed faster and more directly!

Song Zhi took a bite of the delicious meat bun with thin skin and thick meat, then turned his head to glance at the well-behaved and pretty Bai Taotao beside him, and lowered his eyelids.
