The casual life of the flat space

As Grandpa Wu spoke, he led the Bai siblings out.

"His elder brother has left? He won't be here for long." Grandma Wang came out from the kitchen and greeted.

"Sister-in-law, I'm leaving now. I still have work to do at home! My brother said he would come to your house for a drink in the afternoon. I'd like to trouble you to make some snacks for us two brothers!"

"Hey, his elder brother doesn't care about whether it's a problem or not, he's always nagging about you at home!"

"Grandpa Wang, Grandma Wang, please stay. Tiexiong and I will come back in the evening. I will need your help then!"

"Hey, come over often when you have nothing to do. Grandma is happy just looking at you kids!"

"Okay, Grandma Wang, don't see me off. We're leaving!" Bai Tieying said as he walked out of the yard with Grandpa Wu.

Grandma Wang turned and went into the main room. While looking through the things Bai Tieying brought, she asked, "What are his elder brother and Tieying doing here?"

"Pay back the money."

"What? Have we paid back all ours?"

"Humph, not only our family, but the whole village has paid it back."

"Where does she get so much money?"

"She said she had saved a gyrfalcon, and the gyrfalcon gave her some ginseng and ganoderma lucidum as a reward, so she sold them."

"Oh, what kind of fate is this for the Bai family! If only earlier..."

"Oh! That's right, Tongsheng and Suzhen are such great kids!"

"Hey, hey, hey, old man, look at this, how much silver did Tieying spend? Oh, no, I have to return it to her. This child is too extravagant!" Grandma Wang said as she raised the wine, roast chicken and braised meat in her hand to show the village chief.

"No need. If she could bring us the roast chicken and braised meat, she must have bought some herself. She can't drink that wine either. Can you bring it here so I can see what kind of wine it is?" The village chief took the wine and saw the five words "Zhiyin Lou Mengyao" written on it.

"This Tieying, it seems like she really cares about selling mountain products."

"What? This wine is expensive?"

"I don't know how much it costs, but just by looking at the name of the county's largest restaurant, Zhiyinlou, this wine can't be cheap!"

"Is it difficult for her to ask you for help?"

"Humph, it's not that it's difficult, it's just that it's impossible! These kids have forgotten their roots!"

"Don't talk about the child like that. How can she understand what's right and wrong at such a young age? If she's wrong, just teach her more. The Bai family can't let the child go astray."

"You're not the one who tells me that! Go to the warehouse and take out whatever is left from the mountain products you picked up last year. Also, take out the dried vegetables you dried that you don't need. If the child asks for help, we have to help."

"She's going to sell these things? They're not worth much!"

"So that's what I mean! He's just a child! By the way, cut some of the roast chicken and braised meat tonight so that Brother Wu and I can try the wine from Zhiyinlou!"

Grandma Wang agreed and took the things out. There was a piece of satin in it! She was going to make a quilt cover for her eldest grandson. She had to add some new things to the new house!

On the way back, naturally, someone started talking to Bai Tieying again. This time, she didn't change the subject. She just said that if there was anything, they could talk about it when the village chief gathered everyone in the evening.

When they arrived at the gate of Grandpa Wu's house, Bai Tieying led Bai Tiexiong to pay their respects to Grandpa Wu together, but Bai Tieying said nothing. Some things are better as long as you understand them in your heart. She accepted the favor from Grandpa Wu and would repay him in the future. There was no need to say anything more now.

After Grandpa Wu entered the yard, Bai Tieying took Bai Tiexiong's hand and walked back and forth towards home. After walking for a while without seeing Bai Tiexiong speaking, Bai Tieying looked down and saw Bai Tiexiong silently shedding tears!

Bai Tieying really felt sorry for this child. He had heard so many things just now but he didn't say a word. He just did what he had to do and didn't cry until now. She couldn't do what Bai Tiexiong did when she was five years old.

Bai Tieying squatted down, kissed Bai Tiexiong's little paw and said, "Tiexiong, I'm sorry, sister..."

“Sister…sister…ah…”

Bai Tieying hugged him tightly, patted his back and comforted him softly: "I'm sorry, Tiexiong, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have let you go and let you hear such a terrible thing. Are you scared? It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid, it's all in the past, it has nothing to do with us! Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

"Sister... I'm sorry, it's not my sister. I can't help you. Let me go up the mountain. I don't want to play. I'm sorry, I'll eat well. Sister won't go up the mountain..."

Bai Tieying felt that she must have been infected by Bai Tiexiong. How come her tear ducts became so shallow? Her heart was broken when she heard Bai Tiexiong crying. She wanted to speak, but her throat was choked. She could only hug him tighter and pat his back non-stop, as if this could comfort Bai Tiexiong and herself.

The two sisters hugged each other like this until Bai Tiexiong's crying turned into sobbing. Bai Tieying touched his head and said, "Tiexiong, I've said before that I don't want you to grow up. You should be naughty, playful, and have the things that you should have at your age.

I am older than you, so those are not a problem for me. You don’t have to worry about me. I take good care of myself! Besides, I have a warm-hearted man like you who loves, cares about, and helps me. I am the happiest person in the world!

And our Tiexiong has actually grown up. This growth does not mean growing taller and fatter like other children, but that he can understand the hard work of others, knows what he should do, and is willing to motivate himself to work hard to do it.

I'm so proud to have you as my brother! Look at those little brats in our village. I'm not saying anything else, but no child is as cute as you! Let's not talk about anything else. How many children would think of leaving a bite of delicious food for their sister?"

Bai Tieying's flattery made Bai Tiexiong stop crying and even smiled. He said, "Sister, is my great-uncle a bad person?"

"What do you think?"

"I have no idea."

"Yes, sister doesn't know either. Only the people who lived there can explain clearly what happened. Whether it's Grandpa Wu, Grandpa Wang or us, we are not involved. We just heard about it, it's said, and it's a legend...

What we hear may not be true, and what we see may not be true! That is to say, what we hear and see may not be true. We need to feel it with our hearts and analyze it with our brains. We haven't even seen the person involved in this matter, but we only listen to others' comments on whether he is right or wrong. So, are we also wrong? So I reserve my opinion and do not comment.

What do you think you should do if you encounter this situation again? "

"I also have ear stones!"

"Haha, you are not deceiving others, you are... Never mind! If you have any doubts about something, then go and find the truth with these doubts!

But don't bother yourself with other people's affairs. The world is so big and there are so many interesting things. Don't embarrass yourself, isn't it better to embarrass others? Hahaha..." Bai Tieying laughed so hard at the crazy quotations he made.

Bai Tiexiong didn’t know what his sister was laughing at, but seeing her so happy, he was happy too.
