Zhao Lan shook her head: “I don’t understand, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Bai Zhi was relieved. She didn’t understand it. She was afraid that she said something she shouldn’t say. It seems that she needs to move into the new house as soon as possible. By then, they will sleep in a separate room. She doesn’t want to scare her mother again during the full moon.
“Niang, the furniture we ordered will be delivered tomorrow. After two days, we can all move together.”
Zhao Lan frowned and muttered: “Is it tomorrow? Tomorrow, we need to water the soil to soften it, where can we get spare time to receive the furniture? Should we move the date a few more days later?”
Bai Zhi said: “I’ve arranged people to water the soil, you don’t need to go to the fields. Just check and accept the furniture at home. Then let the delivery men arrange them for us. We have to put everything in place. There is a lot of work at home.”
Zhao Lan’s face was distressed: “Why did you look for people to do such an easy job? We can do it ourselves. We shouldn’t spend money on every little thing, it’s not right.”
Bai Zhi helped Zhao Lan sit down: “As long as my niang can relax a little, how can spending a little money be wrong? If we don’t even spend a little money, how are we going to spend energy on more important things?”
Zhao Lan was amused by her serious look: “Yes, yes, what you say makes sense. I’ll listen to you, alright?”
At this time, Zhao Sue led Ru’er in and saw the mother and daughter sitting on the bed, talking and smiling: “Look at you, mother and daughter, I really envy you.”
Zhao Lan said, “What is there to be envious? Ru’er is also very clever. She will definitely have a bright future.” Then, she got up and grabbed a sugar candy out of the cupboard, and then stuffed it into Ruer’s hand.
Zhao Sue laughed: “You’re spoiling her too much.” She then handed the cloth bag in her hand to Bai Zhi: “Zhi’er, I have nothing else good to give you on your birthday. This dress is what I made for you. I hope you like it.”Bai Zhi took the cloth bag and opened it. There was a pink satin fabric. It has fashionable and delicate stitches. It was much better than the clothes sold in the ready-to-wear shop.
“It looks so beautiful, I didn’t expect that you have such a good skill.”
Seeing her happy, Zhao Sue felt relieved. She put a lot of effort to make this dress. Because she was afraid that she won’t like it.
“It’s good if you like it, I have no other ability aside some needlework. If you like this style, I will make you some more.”
Bai Zhi quickly waved her hand: “No need. It takes too much energy to do this. Don’t tire your eyes making clothes for me, it’s not worth it.”
Zhao Lan also said, “Yes, I can make clothes. When I have time, I will make them for Zhi’er. You can focus on making clothes for Awu and Ru’er.”
The next moment, Zhou Awu shouted from outside the house: “Zhi’er, Boss Chen is here. He is waiting for you in the front yard.”
Bai Zhi quickly got up and said, “It’s so late. Why did he come here?”
Zhou Awu shook his head: “I don’t know, he didn’t say it, it looks very urgent.”
Bai Zhi and Zhou Awu went to the front yard. Boss Chen just stood in the yard and didn’t go in.
“Chen Dage, why are you here? What’s the hurry?” Bai Zhi asked as soon as she came into the yard.
Boss Chen pulled something in his sleeve and said, “This is a letter from the capital, it says it was urgent, so I came in a hurry to deliver it.”
Boss Chen handed the letter to Bai Zhi.
