After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man

Bai Qingyun raised his head, shifted his gaze away from the teacup, and raised a wicked smile: "Third brother, I am the one who set the question, but I will never drink this cup of tea easily."

Bai Qinghai looked helpless: "My sister is so smart, I have to use my brain more."

Even through the moonlight, Bai Qingyun was able to keenly notice that the other person's mouth was filled with the unique curve of confidence of a young man, which made her feel a little curious.

The man took out a piece of candy wrapped in oil paper from his sleeve and handed it to Bai Qingyun. His beautiful eyes stared at her and said, "Sister, remember, when you were little, you always loved to follow me. Whenever you cried, I would take out a piece of candy for you to lick. Once the sweet taste entered your throat, you would stop crying immediately."

"I remember!" Bai Qingyun smiled and looked at him for a moment, then left quickly: "At that time, our family was poor, and I had to lick a piece of candy for a long time before my third brother was willing to give it to me. That candy was given to you when you followed your father to sell prey, and they gave it to you because you were young."

"You were reluctant to eat it, and you were melted in the hot weather. Your clothes were stained with sugar cubes, which attracted many ants. When I was washing them, I almost beat you with a cane!"

"Haha, mom is just loud as thunder, but she has never really hit me since I was a child."

Bai Qinghai took out the folding fan from his sleeve and gently fanned away the sweat on his forehead in the cool evening breeze: "So tonight, sister, do you want to try this candy again to see how it is different from when you were a child?"

Bai Qingyun smiled and stretched out her hand to take it, but her hand stopped in mid-air. She quickly retracted it, with the same cunning look in her eyes as Huo Huo: "Third brother, you don't want me to get tired of eating candy and then sell me tea, do you?"

She seemed like a clever person who saw through the other party's plan, and her words were full of gloating: "Third brother, as the saying goes, brothers have to settle accounts clearly. Our brother-sister relationship can be temporarily abandoned in front of this cup of tea!"

After saying that, she crossed her arms over her chest, looking determined not to succumb to the other party's emotional killer. No mercy was useful in front of her.

Bai Qinghai smiled bitterly and shook his head. He fully unfolded the folding fan in his hand and fanned it intermittently: "Oh, my sister has seen it clearly. Then my third brother will have no way to deal with it."

The folding fan was in his hand, fanning the air around him like a dragon, lifting up the long hair hanging down in front of his chest. He looked like an immortal, not like a countryman, but rather like a pampered and elegant young man.

Mr. Bai had a helpless look on his face and had to admire his sister's cleverness and wit, and the cup of tea was "abandoned" just like that.

"The red bean biscuits you bought on the street last time were good. We spent so much time wandering around Jiangzhou City yesterday. Do you have any left? I'm a little hungry, third brother." He put down the folding fan in his hand, folded it and put it back into his sleeve.

Bai Qingyun saw his action and seemed to have given up on the question she had asked. She stopped worrying and conjured up a plate of red bean cakes without hesitation: "The snacks bought on the street are gone, but there are still a lot of snacks that Grandpa Fu had people send over. Here, try some!"

"Grandpa Fu?" He asked doubtfully, picking up a piece of crispy pastry with his slender index finger and thumb.

Bai Qingyun was a little wary at first, thinking it was a delaying tactic of the other party. But when he saw that his third brother really didn't care about the tea, he followed his example and picked up a piece of red bean cake and started eating.

"It's Jiang Fu, the housekeeper of the Jiang family. I heard he's an elder of the Jiang family. When mom saw him yesterday, she felt something was wrong. I guess he must be the elder who watched mom grow up!"

"Is the next door cleaning today?" Bai Qinghai asked casually as he sorted out the residue that had fallen on his sleeves.

"Yes, since you've agreed to be a teacher, you have to move in earlier!" She took a bite of the crumbly snack, revealing layers of soft and greasy fillings beneath the crispy exterior.

With one bite, you can bite straight into the red bean filling inside.

The red beans must have been steamed and cooked repeatedly with a lot of effort. They are sticky, soft and have a rich taste, but... she doesn't like sweets very much.

This kind of taste would definitely be very popular with children, but for the Bai family, who have always had no shortage of sugar and pay attention to a balanced diet, it is indeed too sweet.

Bai Qinghai, who didn't eat much sugar when he was a child, ate ten pieces of brown sugar after his family made sugarcane brown sugar. He was so sick of it that he couldn't eat...

Later on, people at home were no longer very fond of sugar and would only eat it when making sweet dishes or snacks.

Although Bai Qinghai was so sick of it, he still forced himself to eat the snack and poured himself a cup of tea.

The tea helped to relieve the greasiness. After drinking a cup of tea, I felt that my lips were no longer stuck by the sugar shreds and I could speak normally.

He glanced at the hesitant Bai Qingyun and said, "Don't eat it if you can't eat it. This snack is too greasy! His family probably thought that the Bai family has many children, so they made the snacks sweeter, and the children like it."

Bai Qingyun looked at the small half plate of red bean pastry left on the plate in front of him, then looked at the one in his hand that had been bitten into a crescent shape, and finally endured the sweetness and ate it.

After she finished eating, she wanted to pick up the teacup in front of her, but when she stretched her hand into the air, she hesitated for a moment and then retracted it.

Bai Qinghai lowered her head and blew on the tender buds floating on the surface. She caught a glimpse of her movements out of the corner of her eye. The corner of her mouth, which was blocked by the teacup, rose for a moment in an unnoticed corner, and then quickly fell again, as usual.

"I remember that when we were in Qujiang County, you loved eating candied haws. Why haven't I seen you buy any recently?"

"Maybe it's not the hawthorn season yet. I didn't see any for sale on the street. I bought a bunch to try, but it was a bit sour, so I didn't bring any home."

"Well, my brother and I will go to the mountains to find a hawthorn tree and plant it nearby. When it's ripe, I can try to make it myself. It's just like the autumn pear paste you made."

"Okay, but it doesn't matter if we can't find it. I haven't gone hunting in the mountains for a long time. Now that my brothers have learned martial arts, can we, the weak girls, follow you and pick up prey?"

“Hehe, of course, girls have delicate hands and it’s easy to get hurt when drawing a bow, so you just follow behind and play.”

"..."

It seemed like he hadn't sat down and chatted with his sister for a long time. They talked about the past to the present, and the present to the future...

They talked until they were thirsty. He drank all the water in the teapot, but his lips were still rosy.

It was just a pity for Bai Qingyun. At the beginning, he consciously resisted the desire to drink water, but later he unconsciously started to hold the teacup at hand.

The tea that has been cooled is not as fragrant as the hot tea, but it is indeed an excellent product for quenching thirst and relieving greasiness.

The slightly bitter tea aroma entered her throat, moistened her dry lips and washed away the sweetness. Only then did she feel that she had found her voice again.

Until Bai Qinghai's words broke her joy of being immersed in the tea.

He stretched out his hand in front of Bai Qingyun: "Haha, Chenghui, one tael of silver!"
