Chapter 330 Uncle Bai, you don't understand my mother at all.
Bai Shaoan was panting heavily, his hands on his knees, his throat seemingly spewing invisible flames.
Hearing Lin Chang'er's teasing, he pointed with difficulty towards the kitchen.
The little goldfish had already poured out some cool water and was bringing it to him. "Uncle Bai, have some water!"
Behind him, Gu Xiaolu struggled to carry the large teapot.
Bai Shaoan grinned at the two little brats, his cracked lips parting slightly, and downed a bowl of water in one gulp.
She handed the bowl over again, and the little goldfish very considerately took the large teapot from her sister and poured her another bowl.
After drinking three bowls of cold water, Bai Shaoan finally felt a little better.
He raised his hand to wipe the water from the corner of his lips before catching his breath and saying, "It's not exactly a robbery, but it's no different from being robbed."
Seeing that he looked really tired, Lin Chang'er quickly pointed to the stone piers and platforms by the sandy field and said, "Sit down and talk."
Bai Shaoan had long considered this place his own home, so he didn't stand on ceremony. He found a stone stool to sit on and casually placed the water bowl on the stone platform.
The little goldfish asked sweetly, "Uncle Bai, would you like some more?"
Bai Shaoan nodded, "Drink!"
Gu Xiaolu said, "Uncle Bai, are you hungry? Don't just drink water."
Bai Shaoan reached out to pinch the little girl's cheek, but then remembered that he hadn't had time to tidy himself up, so he just smiled at her and said, "You are really my good niece. I'm so hungry that my stomach is sticking to my back."
Gu Xiaolu smiled and her eyes curved into crescent moons after receiving the praise. "I'll go ask Grandma what food she has, and get some for Uncle Bai first."
Bai Shaoan nodded repeatedly, "Okay!"
Gu Xiaolu skipped and hopped towards the kitchen.
Headmaster Chen and Master Chen, who had been resting in the main room, came out and politely asked Bai Shaoan, "And who is this?"
"This is Bai Shaoan, the young master Bai, who helped me with the business!" Lin Chang'er stood up and introduced Bai Shaoan, saying, "Headmaster Chen, Master Chen."
Bai Shaoan also got up, and after the two sides greeted each other, they sat down on the stone stools.
The little goldfish brought over a few more small bowls, poured water for everyone, and then asked Lin Chang'er, "Mother, would you like some sugarcane peeled?"
Next, Uncle Bai will definitely talk about his experiences, and it's unclear how long he'll be talking.
Lin Chang'er thought for a moment and instructed him, "Go ask Grandma for some tea and snacks!"
The little goldfish nodded and said okay, then picked up the teapot and ran towards the kitchen.
Chen Shanzhang watched the little boy's retreating figure, then turned to Lin Chang'er, "Chang'er, your son..." has a promising future.
However, he didn't say the last few words aloud, but only nodded in acknowledgment.
Lin Chang'er knew her son was successful, and said with a smile, "Both siblings are very filial, sensible and well-behaved. In ten years, I'll be able to enjoy my retirement."
Headmaster Chen laughed heartily, "Girl, in ten years, how old will you be? You'll be enjoying a life of leisure."
Master Chen laughed along, “Uncle, Chang’er is just having fun! Raising a child is a lifelong worry, even if you live to be 100, let alone 10 years, even 20, 30, 40, or 50 years, Chang’er may not be able to let go.”
Bai Shaoan agreed with this statement. According to her vision of common prosperity along the coast, ten years would only be enough to achieve a basic outline.
And the massive naval weapon she's planning to develop will probably take at least twenty or thirty years to acquire.
Bai Shaoan nodded and said, "Master Lu is absolutely right!"
Lin Chang'er sighed, "You guys are all such a killjoy. One, two, three of you, not one of you understands the art of conversation."
"At this point, shouldn't you be saying that we're missing three players for mahjong, and with one, two, and three, we've secured our retirement?"
After she finished speaking, everyone, young and old, burst into laughter, and for a moment, laughter echoed throughout the courtyard.
Aunt Gu poked her head out from the kitchen. "Shao'an, would you like handmade noodles or flatbread?"
Bai Shaoan quickly turned around and said, "Auntie, you decide whichever is most convenient for you!"
Aunt Gu replied with a "Okay!" and turned to continue her work.
Little Goldfish and Gu Xiaolu, brother and sister, each carried out two stacks of tea snacks, including sesame and red date balls, egg crisps, brown sugar twists, and brown sugar shortbread.
As the two children approached, Lin Chang'er stood up and took the items one by one, arranging them neatly.
After introducing each item, he raised his hand and said, "These sesame and red date balls and sponge cake are new products. Headmaster Chen, Master Chen, please taste them and tell me how they are."
Then she looked at Bai Shaoan and said, "Shaoan, you should eat too."
Bai Shaoan looked at his hands. "To be honest, let me wash my hands first."
"Uncle Bai, take a rest, I'll go get you some water!" Little Goldfish immediately set to work.
Bai Shaoan scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, "This, this is too much trouble."
Lu Chenshan stroked his beard, having been curious about Bai Shaoan's appearance earlier.
Although they weren't close, he knew this orphan of the White-Clad Marquis's family, but this was the first time they had met, and he was surprised to see him like this.
We weren't familiar with each other before, so I was too embarrassed to ask. But now that we've been sitting and talking for a while, it's not considered presumptuous of me.
Headmaster Chen looked at Bai Shaoan and said meaningfully, "Young Master Bai, where do you come from?"
Bai Shaoan then remembered that he had just come to talk to Lin Chang'er about this.
When Headmaster Chen and Master Lu appeared, the conversation drifted off-topic, and only now are we getting back on track.
He sighed, "Don't even mention it. It was an inauspicious start. I guess I've really stumbled."
"Along the coastline, just outside the territory of our Ninghai Prefecture, we encountered refugees. I felt sorry for them, so I gave them some dry food."
"Who would have thought they almost stripped me naked? Luckily I ran fast, otherwise!" I might have ended up in their pot.
After pausing for a moment, he added, "It's fortunate that I went; if it had been Sister Chang'er who went, the consequences would have been..."
Lin Chang'er lowered her eyes. Isn't this a typical landlord's foolish son 2.0?
Lin Chang'er of this era may not understand anything, and like most people, she harbors a kind heart.
But the current Lin Chang'er's soul comes from the future. Even if she has never seen a pig run, how could she have never eaten pork?
The story of the farmer and the snake is included in compulsory education textbooks.
And there are countless similar plots in ancient Chinese novels.
She assumed Bai Shaoan was an experienced veteran, so she didn't give him any specific instructions. Little did she know, he almost picked it off himself.
Lin Chang'er shook her head, looking at Bai Shao'an with a somewhat complicated expression.
Bai Shaoan's heart skipped a beat. "Sister Chang'er, you don't know, there are dozens of them! It's not that I'm not good enough, but you know that even a novice can defeat a master with a flurry of punches, right?"
Gu Xiaolu leaned against Lin Chang'er's chest and smiled at Bai Shaoan, "Uncle Bai, you don't understand my mother at all."
“My mother wouldn’t have acted rashly if she hadn’t planned ahead; a little bit of dry food wouldn’t have helped them get through the real crisis.”
Bai Shaoan's eyes widened. "Hey, you little brat, you're making fun of your uncle. Now tell me, if it were your mother, what would she do?"
