The casual life of the flat space

After Bai Tieying finished cleaning up the things outside, he took the opportunity to use the space's ability to collect things to clean up the dust in the courtyard. This is also the "untold secret" that other villagers think makes the Bai family's home unusually clean.

As they were packing, Jing Li's voice came from the front door: "This is Miss Bai's home, may I ask who you are?"

When Bai Tieying heard someone was looking for her, she put down the broom in her hand and walked out. She heard the reply from the other end: "Young lady, please inform them that the second son of Xiangyun Temple has come with his brothers and sisters."

"Okay, wait a moment." Jing Li said and was about to knock on the door, but Bai Tieying opened the door first. As soon as she opened the door, she smiled and said, "It's really better to arrive early than to arrive early. I'm at home right now! Come in and sit down! Miss Li, can you please help me pour some water?"

"Miss Bai, please don't call me that. It's embarrassing for me. Please give me a name when you have time."

"Hey, I've already told you that I'm here to treat you as friends, so why mention the given name? Please don't mention it again! How about this, let's not be polite. I'll call you Lili, and you call me Tieying."

"Thank you..." Seeing that Bai Tieying pretended to be angry, Jing Li finally changed her words: "Lili, thank you, Tieying." She was careful and hesitant in saying these few short words, her eyes still fixed on Bai Tieying's eyes. As long as Bai Tieying showed any dissatisfaction, she would immediately change her words.

"Well, it's fate that we met. Don't mess with these masters and servants. I also want to thank you for helping me manage the children so well! Oh, by the way, they are here, and I thought I might have to trouble you with this matter. After you help pour the water, come and listen!"

Jing Li felt a little disturbed when she heard her words, but she didn't show it on her face. She nodded and went into the kitchen to pour some water.

"Old Eight, are you cold?"

"Old Ten, are you dressed? Then who has no clothes?"

"Second Brother, although this is the first time we meet, I heard from Eighth Brother that you are amazing!"

……

Bai Tieying took them to the first room of the back house, which was originally prepared for guests, but now the people of Xianhe Village, especially the village elders, like to go to the big kang in the kitchen. Aunt Li said that the men in the village like to wash their feet and socks these days, saying that they don't want to be shy when they take off their shoes when they go to Lao Bai's house!

There were ten orphans in Xiangyun Temple. Bai Tieying saw that they had brought their luggage and the broken pottery jar with them, so she knew their choice. So she didn't waste any words and directly asked the second child if he could start digging the cellar today.

After getting a positive answer, Bai Tieying let Jing Li take charge of them. Firstly, they needed to integrate into the collective, and Jing Li was a very good middleman; secondly, she had a lot of things to do herself, and it was impossible for her to take care of everything.

"Oh! There are so many things to do, I need an assistant." Bai Tieying saw everyone off and turned into his uncle's room.

Mu Qingqiu and Bai Tiexiong played in the space until it was dark, then they remembered they were hungry. Knowing that Bai Tieying could hear the sounds in the space, they quietly called Bai Tieying in the mud room to take them out.

When he came out, he saw Bai Tieying riding home! After asking, he learned that Bai Tieying had not taken out a loan in the afternoon, but he had paid for the three villages where the waterwheel was built, and persuaded them to continue taking out loans to repair the road leading to the official road.

"How did things go?"

"It's not going smoothly. The reason why those three villages can spend their own money to build water wheels is because they are relatively wealthy and are not very interested in the big picture I painted. Alas! It's not a good start!" Bai Tieying walked forward with his hands behind his back and his head down.

When Bai Tiexiong saw his sister like this, he quickly ran over, took her hand and said, "Sister, didn't you tell me, 'As long as you work hard, it doesn't matter if the result is not full marks'?"

"Yes, but it's easier to persuade others than to persuade yourself... It's okay, just let me mourn for a while."

"What is 'sorrow'?"

Seeing that a "stupid" human cub handed her a ladder, Bai Tieying quickly untied her hair that had been tied up for a day and was causing pain on her scalp, and said with a chuckle:

"'Sang' means... tilting the head, lifting the shoulders, lifting the hips, sitting across the hips... Now I'm going to speed up!"

Bai Tieying chased his brother with this "dance step", and Bai Tiexiong hid behind Mu Qingqiu in fear. Mu Qingqiu also imitated Bai Tieying's movements, and perhaps because he had learned the "dance", his movements were more similar to Bai Tieying's, which scared Bai Tieying so much that he turned around and ran away. Bai Tiexiong followed behind Mu Qingqiu, "the fox borrowed the tiger's power", and the three of them laughed and joked all the way back home.

After discussing with his uncle yesterday, Bai Tieying went to find Village Chief Wang to inform the villagers of Xianhe that the school would officially start today. However, the children who were learning herbal medicine had to go with the adults to collect this year's herbs first, so there were two schools, but in fact there was only one.

"Uncle, you don't have to be so nervous. Speaking of herbs, who in Xianhe Village is as familiar with them as you?"

"Who's nervous? What do you know? I'm just trying to digest my food!"

"Okay, then you should walk slower too! You're a doctor, don't you know how fast you should walk? By the way, uncle, is it okay for Sister Zhou to lose weight so quickly?"

"What's the problem? She looks much thinner, but that's just because she was too fat before. Wait until she loses weight to less than 200 pounds, and she won't lose weight so quickly."

"Sister Zhou has been busy with the opening of Bafangke recently, but she still remembers to walk thirty miles every day. She is really determined!"

"Humph, if you don't have willpower, you're doomed. You can do it too. By the way, come here, I'll take your pulse again. I don't believe that I can't make up for your small body!"

Uncle used to think that Bai Tieying was hungry and tired, but after a few months he realized it was because of the space.

Bai Tieying's pulse was very strange, showing that she was weak and insufficient in every part. If it were anyone else, they would have died as he had judged before. However, this child was thin, and she could eat, sleep, and toss around. There was really no sign of her dying. So her uncle listed her as a "new difficult and complicated disease" and kept thinking about how to make her fat.

When the grandfather and grandson were talking, no one dared to say a word, because they might get scratched accidentally. Bai Tieying should act like a spoiled child, but her uncle couldn't convince her of anything she didn't want to do.

The uncle always felt that he was a "half-way uncle". If he said something superficial, she would not take it to heart, but if he said something serious, he was afraid of hurting their feelings. The final result was usually that when the two were about to quarrel, whoever intervened at this time would bear the wrath of the grandfather and grandson.

Uncle Dafu understood this matter best. In the past, his master could only beat him a few times, but since he carried Bai Tieying back from the city gate, the number of beatings he received in the past few months has caught up with that in the previous ten years.
