The casual life of the flat space

"Look at what you said, that's not what I meant!"

"Oh, come on, Aunt Li, stop talking and go get some water for your Dazhuang!" Aunt Huang, who was standing nearby, saw the young wife of the Li family arguing with the village chief and said quickly.

"Tsk!" The young wife tsk'd and turned around and walked towards the field without saying anything else.

"Village chief, I don't mean anything else. I just want to ask. Isn't the young man of my brother-in-law's family doing odd jobs for Mr. Chen's family in the city? It is said that the rental of a carriage costs five hundred coins a day! Where does this little girl get so much money?" Chen Ergou, a lazy man in the village, walked from the well at the entrance of the village to the village chief in his slippers and said.

"Besides, look at the wheel tracks. It's obvious that there are a lot of things in the car! She wouldn't be... I'm just worried. I haven't seen these two children for a few months, and they haven't been seen going out! Why did they come back in a carriage? If they leave in a carriage again, I won't be able to say a word to them!"

"Have you weeded your fields? Why do you care about other people's business? When something happened in someone's family, you said you were going to help, but you ended up taking away all their iron pots. Is that something a human would do?! Get out of here. You don't do your proper work all day long, but instead think about crooked things!" The village chief looked down on Chen Ergou and cursed him.

"Hey, isn't that kind of me? If she has money to ride in a carriage, she should pay back the money she owes to everyone first! Don't you think so?"

But the people around here didn't respond. They knew what kind of person Chen Ergou was. He was always thinking about how to make a fortune, and he didn't really farm. If it weren't for his wife's family in the city helping him, he would have starved to death!

"Hey, village chief, don't leave! Why don't you go to Lao Bai's house? What if he really becomes rich and can pay you back?"

"I don't have to pay you back if I can pay it back! How much is that iron pot worth? Humph, don't you know how much your family has lent out?"

"It's an old one! Besides, the iron pot he bought is the worst one, and it gets burnt after using it! The iron pot in my brother-in-law's house is said to be shipped from Baili Prefecture, and it costs ten taels of silver each! Hers is only one or two taels!"

"Okay, you said so yourself, just return the extra money!"

"Hey, village chief, that's not how it works!" Chen Ergou said anxiously, "Isn't it that I don't have to pay interest when I lend her money? Then isn't Gaba Gaba almost enough?"

"Listen to what you say, are you talking like a human being? Who in this village hasn't had their stirrups short? Who wants interest?"

The village chief didn't care what Chen Ergou was muttering behind him and went straight home. But he was also thinking, if the two children of the Bai family really have help from a noble person, it would be a good thing, but if they are unable to think straight and go astray... I really have to go to her house to take a look!

When Bai Tieying was passing by Grandma Wu's house in a carriage, she saw Little Potato and Dongzi playing in the yard through the gate. She shouted from the carriage, "Tiexiong!"

Little Potato asked Dongzi foolishly: "I think I heard my sister calling me."

Dongzi, however, saw a carriage flash past the gate of the courtyard, so he stood up and ran out. It was a carriage!

Bai Tiexiong also reacted at this time and ran home. After he went out of the yard and saw the carriage, he became even more excited. He chased after it and called out "sister". As a result, he choked on dust and coughed until tears came out.

After coughing, he continued running, calling his sister and then asking Dongzi to slow down and wait for him, which made Bai Tieying in the carriage laugh and cry.

The carriage stopped at the fork in the road to the left of the courtyard gate, and Bai Tieying jumped off the carriage and ran forward to meet Little Potato. In the middle, he bumped into Dongzi, called out to him, ignored him, and ran straight to Little Potato, hugging him in his arms.

Just when she was about to ask him if he missed his sister, Bai Tieying's tears burst out like a dam breaking, and fell uncontrollably.

She didn't know what caused these tears... Maybe it was the dizziness caused by the houses that kept appearing along the way to the village, or maybe it was the indescribable relief when she finally saw her loved ones again after going through so many twists and turns in the past two days, or maybe it was the blood-related family bond that made her unable to control herself anymore.

She had been planning to tease the crying little potato, but she herself burst into tears first, her throat tightened, and she couldn't utter a word.

She was crying like this, so how could Bai Tiexiong, who was tightly held in her arms, not cry? If Dafu hadn't ruined the mood by yelling at Bai Tieying to open the door, the two sisters would have probably cried for a while longer.

Bai Tieying was a little embarrassed. After all, she was also 25 years old, and no one could cry as hard as a five-year-old potato! She first took out a handkerchief to wipe her own tears, and then handed the handkerchief to her brother - Bai Tiexiong was crying so hard that his nose was running.

When Bai Tiexiong saw such a beautiful handkerchief, he was not willing to use it to wipe it. He just wiped it with the back of his hand, and then wiped it on the back of his clothes. Bai Tieying felt a rush of blood on the back of his neck. He thought that since he had bought new clothes anyway, he might as well throw this one away!

"Tie Xiong, this is Uncle Dafu, he is our uncle's apprentice."

"Hello, Uncle Dafu!" Bai Tiexiong stepped forward to greet him. This kid is good in this respect, he does whatever he is told to do, and will discuss any problems later, and he never acts like a show-off.

"Uncle Dafu, this is my younger brother Bai Tiexiong, your nephew." Bai Tieying was afraid that he would ask, so he spoke directly.

"I know, the master told me! There is a blue bag in the car, it's the toy I bought for you."

"Thank you, Uncle Dafu!"

Bai Tieying was thinking that Uncle Dafu was quite kind, but Uncle Dafu said, "You're welcome. My master asked me to buy it, and he said the money would be deducted from my wages."

"Sure enough!" Bai Tieying thought, "Uncle Dafu is so simple!"

The driver turned the car around at the fork in the road. Bai Tieying grabbed Dongzi to help carry the things, and it took the four of them several trips to finish moving everything.

While everyone was coming in and out and not paying attention, Bai Tieying stuffed half of the carriage with the things prepared for Uncle in the space, and asked Uncle Dafu to take them back when he got home. He also gave the driver money and a small basket of dried mushrooms, and the driver was very happy to receive the reward from Uncle when he returned.

When sending Uncle Dafu off, there was no delay at all, as he was in a hurry to go home for dinner! Before Bai Tieying finished the greetings, Dafu had already got on the car and urged the driver to go faster.

The carriage left, and Dongzi naturally followed. Bai Tieying didn't try to keep him, as he had to go to Grandma Wu's house soon anyway.

The two sisters went into the house and washed their faces first. Then, while Little Potato wasn't paying attention, Bai Tieying secretly took out some of the things she had bought before from the space. The remaining large items could only be taken out when the things she had customized were delivered. After packing up the things to be sent to Grandma Wu's house, she took Little Potato out.
