Chapter 62 Buying New Year's Goods

"...sweetheart, I will pray for you wherever you are anyway. I'm glad I found a reason to go to church because I'm in a better mood now and thank God for the words, I know I'm going to move on and do I'm going to keep praying for you what the pastor told me that you keep making your life a mess. I pray that your tire blows out at 110 and I pray that you and your buddies get drunk and wake up with a With his and her tattoos..."

This collection of "pray for you" by Jaron David Lowenstein is known as "the song of the curse" and "the best breakup song in history". The voice of women.There are many scumbags in this world, which contributed to the widespread popularity of this song in the world.Baitang also likes this song quite a bit. She often sang this song after her boyfriend broke contact with her when he returned to his country.

Baitang called Bai's father and mother, and reported to them, telling them that he would take care of Cao Xue who was drunk at night, and would not go home, so the two elders should rest first.After howling, Cao Xue fell asleep lying on the table, quieter and easier to take care of than other drunk people.Baitang helped her to the hotel lobby, and directly opened a double standard room for one night.The next day, after waking up, Cao Xue returned to her usual cheerfulness. In her words, it is not worth being sad for two bastards.Cao Xue wanted to return the accommodation fee to Baitang, but Baitang refused.After breakfast, Cao Xue went back to the provincial capital, where she still had to deal with a lot of things, such as resigning, such as going back to her and the scumbag's house to get her own things back, she didn't want to take advantage of the scumbag and the scumbag.

Baitang went home and took a shower, washed off the alcohol smell all over her body, and threw herself on the bed for a deep sleep. The smell of alcohol in the room was too strong last night, so she couldn't sleep well.

This sleep lasted until after four o'clock in the afternoon. It gets dark early in winter, and the sky outside is already gray at this time.

"Are you up? Are you hungry? I left two beef buns for you. Use the microwave to heat up the hot pads and wait for your dad to come back before having dinner." Bai's mother sat on the sofa watching TV and watched her daughter come out. He opened the door and hurriedly called his daughter to eat.My daughter went to bed as soon as she got home and didn't even eat lunch.

Baitang rubbed her stomach, she was not hungry at all, she was already considered a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, and she would not be hungry if she didn't eat for a year.Three meals a day is just because of hunger.Now she is not hungry either, but feeling Bai Ma's concern, Bai Tang obediently heated up the buns in the microwave, and sat down while Bai Ma ate and watched TV.

"Xiao Xi went out with Dad?"

"Yeah, your dad's chess friends have some grandchildren who are about the same age as Xiao Xi, and they can play together with Xiao Xi." Bai's father would go to the park to play chess every afternoon, and almost all of his chess friends could play chess. I brought my grandson and granddaughter here, the adults played chess, and the children played on seesaws, slides and swings in the children's playground next to it, which made Bai's father very greedy.Now that he has a grandson, Dad Bai hastened to take him out to show off.

"Xiao Xi is getting more and more cheerful now, and she won't wake up at night when she sleeps." Baitang is very satisfied with Ai Wanxi's changes, "The imperial palace is not a place for people to stay."

"So we live in a good time." Bai Ma said cheerfully, her eyes glanced at the familiar face on TV, and she exclaimed in surprise: "Tangtang, why does the woman on TV look so much like you?"

When Bai Tang heard this, he looked up and was happy. That wasn't the image, that was her.It turns out that Sheng Qingxi's film is about to be released, and he is advertising it on the TV station with a promotional video!In the one-and-a-half minute clip, Bai Tang's appearance as the abandoned queen only takes up five seconds.

"That's me!"

"What? That's you?" Bai Ma was surprised, and wanted to look carefully and identify it, but unfortunately the picture of Baitang had passed, so Bai Ma could only look away regretfully.

"Is this movie the one that Qingxi filmed in our city D?"

"Yeah! I played a cameo role as a queen in the cold palace."

"Our daughter has also become a big star!" Bai Ma said with a smile, "When the film is shown, our family will go to see it, and we will support you!"

"It's for Sheng Qingxi's support, and I only made one or two scenes in it, so it's all soy sauce."

"The soy sauce is also on the big screen. When the disc comes out, I'll buy two more and keep it." Bai Ma said more and more happily, as if her daughter was already a big star.

Bai Tang listened to Bai Ma's words with a smile and did not stop her.Anyway, Bai Ma just said that she would not be happy if Bai Tang really went to become a star.In the minds of Bai's father and Bai's mother, being an actor is hard work and has no guarantees. Only a few people can succeed. Moreover, the entertainment industry is too chaotic, so neither of them wants their daughter to enter.

When the cell phone rang, Bai Ma automatically shut up, not disturbing Bai Tang to answer the call.

"Sheng Qingxi?" This person really didn't chatter.

"What did Xiao Sheng say?" Seeing her daughter hang up the phone, Bai Ma asked curiously.

"One of his buddies was renovating a courtyard house and wanted to buy antique furniture, so he asked me if I had any." Baitang smiled, "His buddy saw the screen he bought and thought it was very well made, so he asked him to find me. Said that the price is not a problem, just want the best. Hehe, I like this kind of local tyrant the most."

"Look at you smiling like a fox!" Bai Ma smiled and shook her head, "This time is a big deal?"

"Absolutely big business. You have to know that wood is not cheap now, like Hainan huanghuali thousands of yuan per kilogram, how many kilograms of Hainan huanghuali do you need to use for a courtyard furniture?" Bai Tang laughed until his eyes narrowed. Seam, "If you buy it in ancient times, although it costs a lot of money, it is definitely cheaper than modern times. It's a lot of money!"

"Guess the riddle! You're going to ancient times again? It's going to be a holiday."

"I'll go after the festival." Baitang said, "I'll accompany you to buy new year's goods tomorrow."

"Buy melon seeds, I'll roast them for you," Bai Ma said.

Baitang nodded hurriedly, the melon seeds made by Baima are unique.Soak the raw melon seeds in salt water first, add a pinch of tea leaves in it, put them on the stove and cook for 45 minutes after half an hour, dry the water with a sieve after cooking, then put them in the microwave oven for 6 minutes, the melon seeds are ready .It tastes fragrant, crisp and tea-like, not to mention how delicious it is.

The two mother and daughter chatted while watching TV. After more than an hour, Wu Xuemei took Xing Xiaokang home after school, and Bai's father also brought Ai Wanxi back. Papa Bai slipped home.

Dinner is very simple, a bowl of noodles for each person, and an egg is enough.On the second day, Wu Xuemei didn't take care of the online store, and followed the mother and daughter of the Bai family to the New Year's market.As soon as they entered the gate of the stadium, the three of them were frightened by the crowds of people inside. There were so many people and cars, and the sounds of hawking and bargaining filled their ears. It was extremely noisy.Three people merged into the flow of people, picking out goods from stall to stall.The market is divided into areas, food, use, wear, wear, play, offering, dry, fresh, raw, cooked, each has its own area, and a folk custom area is specially divided in it. Sellers of sugar paintings, clay figurines, and paper-cut... Attracted a lot of people, almost three floors more than other areas.

Before going out, Bai Ma wrote down the things she wanted to buy on a piece of paper. The three of them walked around and found almost all the things they bought. Most of them were food, and there were a few couplets and blessings.Baitang bought more than a dozen pieces of paper-cuts and thought about pasting them on the windows at home. In fact, there are some beautiful window grilles for sale now, but Baitang always feels that it is more New Year's flavor to paste traditional paper-cuts during the Chinese New Year.

After buying the planned New Year's goods, the three of them wandered around casually, and bought some more when they saw something they liked.After two rounds of shopping, the three of them were tired, hungry and thirsty. Bai Tang bought three cups of sugar cane water, dragged Bai Ma and Wu Xuemei to a stall buying hot and sour noodles, and each of them ate a bowl of hot and sour noodles.Once the hot and sour powder enters the stomach, it not only relieves hunger but also relieves fatigue.In the snack area, there are mostly stalls selling barbecue, six skewers of mutton for ten yuan, and the aroma of cumin mixed with mutton floats over the gymnasium, making people drool.Ten yuan is not expensive, and people who visit the market will buy six skewers to share with the family.Although Bai Tang was also greedy, but thinking that many mutton skewers reported on TV were faked with cheap duck meat dyed with pigment, he no longer wanted to eat it, and also dispelled Bai Ma and Wu Xuemei's need to buy a few skewers for home. The idea of ​​​​satisfying children's hunger.

"I remembered, there are rumors on the Internet that many unscrupulous peddlers use rat meat as mutton to make kebabs and sell them." Wu Xuemei now hangs on the Internet twelve hours a day, reading news and novels on the Internet while looking at online stores.

"Rat meat?" Bai Ma was taken aback, "So wicked?"

"Mom, calm down, calm down!" Baitang tugged on his mother's sleeve, "It's all rumored on the Internet. How big is a mouse? Get rid of the bones, and there are pieces of meat that are not much bigger than the nail cover. Skewers? And the price of rat meat is not cheaper than mutton, no foolish boss would use rat meat for barbecue."

"Really?"

"Of course." Bai Tang nodded.

"Then I'm relieved." Bai Ma breathed a sigh of relief, she used to eat a lot of kebabs.

Bai Tang pursed his lips and snickered.After the three of them finished eating the hot and sour noodles, they visited the market again and bought a box of fireworks for each of the two children and a pair of cotton shoes for Dad Bai to wear at home.Encountering a fellow selling candy, Bai Ma quickly bought five kilograms.Malt sugar is a carbohydrate food made from fermented saccharification of rice, barley, wheat, millet or corn. It is not only sweet but also has medicinal value. It can nourish the body, moisten the lungs and relieve cough, detoxify, and treat weak spleen and stomach, tenesmus and abdominal pain. ; Dryness of the lungs, cough, sore throat and other diseases.Caramel is also a kitchen candy. When worshiping the stove, you can use caramel to coat the mouth of the Kitchen God to make the Kitchen God speak only good things.

"We used to eat caramel when we were young, but it's a pity that it's hard to get it now." Bai Ma sighed.
