After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man
Chapter 420 Pointing to Bai 3
There is a vegetable garden in the backyard of the Bai family.
The vegetable garden is separated by a row of short tea trees, facing the kitchen wall.
On the other side of the tea trees is an open space for leisure.
The open space brings together the interests of many people in the family.
The most popular one is the pavilion where one can enjoy the sun and the moon across the yard. On top of the pavilion is a frame carefully built by Grandpa Bai.
After a whole spring of growth, the small grape vine has begun to grow thin leaves. The leaves are still emerald green, with new buds in the middle, and no flowers have yet formed on them.
Now, after the family's careful care, the grape vines have begun to climb up the trellis.
It is conceivable that it will be a good place to cool off in the summer.
Coming to Bai Qingyun's yard from the front yard, this is a must-pass place.
Normally this place is quiet and deserted as everyone at home is busy with things. Today they have finally finished their work, so tonight the place has welcomed the guests who came to enjoy the night view.
Bai Qingyun looked from afar in the faint moonlight and could vaguely make out the man's figure through the outline of the moonlight.
She was afraid of disturbing the person who was quietly enjoying the moon, so she could only ask in a low voice: "Third brother, are you waiting for someone?"
The third brother is usually the most cheerful, as if nothing in this world can make him sad.
Even when she was seriously ill and in a daze, her ears were filled with this man's hearty laughter.
But today, the body hidden by the vines in the darkness seemed a bit lonely and confused.
The figure was startled by the voice and trembled slightly, then turned around and looked at Bai Qingyun with a smile: "Sister, I was waiting for you on purpose."
Hearing this, Bai Qingyun no longer worried about whether he was disturbing him or not. He walked forward slowly and saw that the man's faint smile and figure were inexplicably inconsistent, which made him feel inexplicably distressed.
She sat beside Bai Qinghai with a smile that didn't reach her eyes, and asked in a normal way, "Third brother, you haven't talked to me for a long time. Didn't Bai Yi force you to practice martial arts today?"
"Mr. Bai said that today's busy farming season can be considered as exercise, and that we should concentrate on reading in the evening. He said that after experiencing the sufferings of the people, it is a good time to study. Besides, the private school is about to open, so we cannot just focus on martial arts." Bai Qinghai smiled and picked up the teapot on the table to pour a cup of tea for Bai Qingyun.
He tested the temperature of the teacup and handed it over: "It's a cold night now, hold it in your hand to warm it up. Mother said that girls are prone to cold body and should not be easily caught in cold."
"Thank you, third brother." Bai Qingyun narrowed his eyes slightly and took it with a smile.
The ceramic teacup is not heat-insulated. If you hold it in your palm for a while, the temperature of the tea will be transmitted through the thin wall of the cup. By the time your palm is warm, the tea has cooled down a little and is ready to be taken.
She drank comfortably, which relieved her fatigue from being surrounded by people in the stacking yard, and then she spoke: "Although Bai Yi likes martial arts, he also has some knowledge of literature. His plan is not bad."
"We went to Jiangzhou City's Jiang Mansion yesterday. He has agreed to come to Dayang Village to be a teacher. In a few days, my parents should bring my brothers to give us gifts."
Bai Qinghai was not surprised, and raised his eyelids slightly: "I heard that mother bought a lot of books for the Tongsheng exam yesterday and asked us to read more. I heard that Shu Xiuli will be tested on that day. Sister, you have seen him, what kind of person do you think he is? Mother..."
"Third brother, mother has her own plans. We, as children, just need to follow her. There is no need to worry too much. He is just your teacher now." Bai Qingyun interrupted him with a look of determination in his eyes that brooked no rejection.
They are people who have grandparents, and their feelings for their grandparents are not very strong.
But they are all children, and they all hope that their mother can find her parents, or at least have two more relatives to rely on.
But if this reliance is offensive, it is better not to...
Bai Qingyun did not mention the improvement in Bai's mother's attitude yesterday. He only said that it would not be too late to say anything after there was some substantial progress.
She continued, "If you want to know what kind of person he is... Hey, Third Brother, he did ask mother about the situations of the three brothers. He is a responsible teacher after all."
The moonlight revealed her cunning eyes clearly, and her unfinished words were cleverly hidden in her heart.
Bai Qinghai laughed helplessly in his heart, and asked with a smile: "Oh? Then mother must be praising us. She never says how badass we are, but only how sensible we are. Tell brother quickly, how did mother praise me?"
Bai Qingyun put down the teacup, rested his elbows on the table, pressed the warmth of his palms tightly against his cheeks, and his eyes blinked brightly like stars in the night sky.
"Mom, she said that my eldest brother is good at dancing, my second brother is good at writing, and my third brother..."
"Good for what?" Bai Qinghai asked expectantly.
Bai Qingyun saw the look in the other person's eyes and couldn't bear to continue teasing him, so he said, "Mother said... Third Brother is good at business!"
"Mother has always understood us." Bai Qinghai raised the corners of his mouth slightly, but it soon drooped down: "But the way of business is not... the right way..."
Bai Qingyun tilted her head, the young man's whisper and loneliness merged into one, she pretended to be puzzled and asked: "What is the right way? Why is the way of merchants not the right way?"
Bai Qinghai smiled bitterly: "Sister, the four classes of people are scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans. If I go into business, I'm afraid I'll never be able to hold my head up high for the rest of my life. I'm not even as good as a farmer... I think that my elder and second brothers, one literary and one martial, are perfect for each other. I'd better inherit the hundred acres of fertile land at home and live with my grandparents and parents!"
"Third brother!" Bai Qingyun hurriedly called out to Bai Qinghai who was about to turn around and leave. She didn't know how to comfort a confused person. If a person falls into a vortex of thoughts, he cannot be pulled back with just a few words.
She didn't lose her mind because she watched too many TV dramas.
Instead, she picked up the teapot on the table, added tea to her empty teacup, and handed it to Bai Qinghai.
"Third brother, if you don't care about scholars, farmers, merchants, or crooked ways, and just do your own thinking, how are you going to sell me a cup of tea?"
Bai Qinghai sat down again with the teacup in hand and lowered his head to think. The time around him seemed to be in slow motion, and the breeze, green leaves, and starry sky all passed silently around him.
The young man frowned and stared at the tea with empty eyes, as if he was distracted or in deep thought.
After an unknown amount of time, the young man raised his head, smiled and raised the teacup in his hand and asked, "Sister, are you thirsty?"
Bai Qingyun smiled evilly and shook his head: "Not thirsty."
The young man was not at all flustered. Instead, he picked up the tea in his teacup and drank it. The tea was no longer steaming and the temperature was just right for drinking.
The young man drank it all in one gulp and smacked his lips, as if savoring the taste.
He placed Bai Qingyun's cup of tea in front of Bai Qingyun, not too close, just where Bai Qingyun could reach it with his right hand.
Seeing the man drinking tea, Bai Qingyun stared at the cup of tea in front of her and swallowed her saliva imperceptibly, without even realizing it.
