The casual life of the flat space

From wiping the bathtub to pouring water to keep the tub moist to prevent it from drying out and cracking, and from what to prepare before taking a bath to how to wash clothes, Bai Tieying gave her younger brother a full range of life common sense instruction.

Fortunately, if this child is interested in something, he will maintain a high level of attention. Bai Tieying felt that when she was five years old, she couldn't listen to her mother's long speech without being distracted.

"What kind of teaching is suitable for this kid?" Bai Tieying began to think unconsciously. But she really had no experience to talk about. Who can teach a baby? !

After lunch, the two of them took a nap. When Bai Tieying woke up, she felt that it was time to germinate the seeds left in the space and plant them outside. The sun was very strong in the afternoon, so she let Bai Tiexiong play with toys in the main room. She went to the vegetable garden to make a rough plan, and then went into the space to breed seeds.

The original body didn't have much planting experience, and Bai Tieying herself was also a novice, but fortunately there was a space that could help her breed them perfectly. With time accelerated, the breeding was completed in a short while. So she left the space again, pretending to weed, and planted the plants one by one in the garden.

After finishing the work, it was time to cook dinner. I first heated up the iron pot that my uncle bought, and cooked porridge in a clay pot on the small stove next to it. When I got home in the evening, I would have some braised meat, steamed buns, and wild vegetables with sauce, and that would be another meal.

After everyone finished lunch, Bai Tieying led Bai Tiexiong to the village chief's house.

When he saw people on the way, Bai Tieying asked them to go to the village chief's house, saying that his family could pay back the money and asked the village chief to help divide it! When the villagers heard this, some of them even skipped their meals and followed him. When they arrived at the village chief's house, Bai Tieying brought his brother to get to know everyone again. Who wouldn't be happy if the debtor could pay back the money? Naturally, he had a lively chat with the Bai family siblings.

Bai Tieying greeted the village chief and Grandma Wang when she entered the house. She saw Grandpa Wu was also there, and the two old men were drinking and glowing. Seeing her coming, the village chief didn't say much. He held a notebook and a pen and ink, and came to the red pine with the bag of silver, scissors and a flat spoon-like object.

"Ahem, I believe everyone has heard that the two children of the Bai family finally got rich, and the first thing they thought of was to pay back the money. They are both good children! We are just helping each other as fellow villagers, and these two children have always remembered it! Not bad, not bad! They are worthy of being children of our Xianhe Village!"

The village chief explained the key points in a few words, praised such behavior, and also brought out some educational significance, which made Bai Tieying secretly think: "Otherwise, he could have been the village chief for hundreds of years!"

"Brother Wu, come and help me keep the accounts."

The village chief's words surprised Bai Tieying: "Grandpa Wu can read?" But it was normal to think about it. Grandpa Wu was not taciturn when he spoke and acted, but he had a sense of detachment that seemed to know everything. That couldn't be explained by a high IQ. Grandpa Wu might have read a lot of books!

After the two grandsons of the village chief brought the table and chairs, the two old men sat down side by side and asked the villagers to line up and pay the money one by one.

After watching for a while, Bai Tieying realized that the flat spoon-like thing was called a "scale", a measuring tool. She watched how to use it and thought about buying one for herself in the future.

The smallest unit of money here is Wen, but Bai Tieying was misled by some novels and videos in the original world and thought that silver was very common. Besides, she either had no money at all or suddenly became extremely rich, so when she went shopping, she always bought big items and in large quantities, and she always paid with silver, so she didn't have a correct concept of spending money.

As far as I can remember, she owed eighty taels, and she took out whole bills. When she returned it to Grandpa Wu, it was exactly twenty taels, including Aunt Wu's bracelet. Maybe the two old people thought the same, so they didn't ask her not to give anything else.

But when it came to the village chief, there was a problem. This family owed 50 wen, that family owed 300 wen, and all the money was in small change. The village chief had to cut the silver on the spot to pay the money. Bai Tieying secretly reminded himself to be careful, and kept thanking people with Bai Tiexiong. He also explained that the uncle gave him a whole silver, and he didn't expect it, and he caused trouble for everyone.

The scene of collective repayment was as lively as a gathering. Although the money returned was their own, with so many people lining up to receive it, many people felt like they had made a windfall.

The villagers had actually given up hope a long time ago, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people going to her house to take things as collateral for their debts. The village chief wanted to deduct the money when they paid back the money, but Bai Tieying quickly stopped him.

First, she is not short of money now, and second, the value of those things is far less than real money. They are all old clothes, old furniture, pots and pans, etc. People may not really use them after taking them back. It is just a helpless act knowing that they can't pay back the money. In the end, they still have to be grateful to them, so there is no need for her to care about it now.

Her family owed so much money, and the money for medical treatment was considered small. The sale of land and the money borrowed from Grandpa Wu's family made it through until her father passed away. The remaining money was spent on her parents' funeral. There was no other way. People here believed that the dead were the most important. What they were reluctant to eat and wear during their lifetime, they had to take away after they died.

Normal families would start making preparations after they get married, but this was an emergency in her family. If it weren't for the help of the villagers, not only would her parents have died in poverty, but her two children would have never been able to hold their heads up for the rest of their lives.

Bai Tieying thought about her three years of hard work. Wasn't it also to buy a cemetery for her parents to bury them? Otherwise, every time she went to worship, she would feel bad looking at the piles of grids, where there was no place to put flowers and tributes, and where she couldn't even kneel down to kowtow. So now she is willing to pay back the money and thank the villagers who helped her on behalf of her original body.

Because the money was cut and paid immediately, it took a long time, and the sun had already set when all the money was paid off. Bai Tieying sighed in her heart, "Finally, I am debt-free and feel relieved." She brought Bai Tiexiong to kowtow to everyone, and everyone naturally said no, and some who were close to the Bai family cried. Bai Tieying hurriedly comforted them one by one, saying "Auntie, don't cry" and "Grandma loves me". Seeing that everyone was happy, the village chief mentioned Bai Tieying's plan to sell mountain products.

"Now that the matter with the Bai family is over, please don't leave yet. I have something else to discuss with you.

You all know the situation of the Bai family. Tiexiong is still young, and it will take another ten years for him to be able to contribute. How much can a girl like Tieying do? In addition, Tieying also wanted to repay the relatives who took care of her, so she went to Chunfutang in the county town to contact the shopkeeper to sell mountain products. "

When everyone heard this, they immediately started talking about it.
