I Became the Little Demon in Leading Role's Family-Chapter 147 - 148 She Regretted It
Chapter 147: Chapter 148 She Regretted It
Bai Zhi and the others also had to get up early because they already had repeat customers, so they had no choice but to start preparing early. They got up at five and got everything ready.
"Thud thud thud..."
Someone was knocking on the door, but they hadn’t even brought out the stove yet.
"Who’s that so early?" Bai Fei wondered, finding it strange that there were people up even earlier than them.
"Look at you, as long as they come, they’re our customers."
Bai Xiang, who was watching the pot, shot a glare at Bai Fei, never having seen her sister be so foolish. Earning money was a good thing.
He would only complain about too little money, never too much.
When Wu Wa opened the door, she found a person wrapped up tightly in a hat and scarf.
In September, when the autumn heat waves were scorching, seeing someone bundled up so tightly stunned Wu Wa.
"Grandpa, you’ll get heatstroke dressing like that."
"How do you know it’s a grandpa? Couldn’t it be a brother?"
The old man was frustrated upon hearing this; he thought his disguise was good, but he had still been recognized.
"Dear master, I’m here! Is breakfast ready?"
As soon as the old man saw Bai Zhi, his eyes lit up and he hurried over.
"You’ve also come too early, haven’t you?"
Bai Zhi had just started steaming the shaomai, feeling somewhat helpless as it was not even six yet, and he had already come.
"I was afraid you’d forget."
The old man stated it as if it were the most natural thing, and even though Bai Zhi was resigned, she hurried to prepare food.
They had noodles for dinner, ribs with noodles, which she had been stewing for a long time. It was delicious poured over the noodles.
After eating the noodles, Bai Xiang was ready to leave. Some of his classmates had already come to pick up their own, but before that...
Bai Xiang pulled Bai Zhi aside.
"Cousin sister..."
"I know to collect the money, don’t worry."
"How do you know what I was going to say?"
Bai Xiang was surprised; he hadn’t even spoken, so how did his cousin sister know?
Bai Fei passed by and sneered.
"Because it’s written all over your face that you just want to make money."
When it came to teasing her own brother, she never held back.
Bai Xiang was "...", instantly feeling pierced to the heart; he felt his sister was really plunging a knife into his chest.
What was wrong with liking money? Who could say they didn’t like money?
"Here, this is for living expenses. What shall we eat this afternoon?"
The old man drew out several hundred bills and placed them in front of Bai Zhi.
Bai Zhi didn’t stand on ceremony and took the money, putting it straight into the grocery wallet.
Their monthly expenses were managed by Bai Da in terms of grocery shopping, including all the ingredients, with Bai Xiang responsible for keeping accounts.
Bai Xiang was really quick and clear when it came to accounting; he could actually be an accountant in the future.
After setting the time, the old man walked away leisurely, not forgetting to slip Bai Zhi a note with his address, the address where she should deliver the meal. He had only come to recognize the place today.
Bai Zhi: "..."
She was somewhat regretting it, truly, truly regretful.
When Ye Xiu walked over to the elementary school, she looked around and soon saw Bai Zhi hard at work at the door.
Actually, she was quite a distance away, but Ye Xiu recognized her daughter instantly.
Xingxing was earnestly packing shaomai for the customers, and she looked wonderful being so serious.
She didn’t dare to approach; her emotions were too chaotic now, making it unsuitable to meet her, but being able to catch a glimpse of her felt truly wonderful.
Ye Xiu turned around and left, and Bai Zhi looked up towards the distance. She had felt someone watching her just before, but there was nothing there. How strange.
...
When Bai Yu returned home, Bai Da had already been helped to lie down, but his face was pale, and he still looked very unwell.
"Bai Ye, take Xixi to school and help me ask for leave,"
Bai Yu didn’t hesitate at all; he decided he would step down to take care of Bai Da. He also had something he wanted to ask.
Xixi was somewhat reluctant; she clung to Bai Da’s hand and wouldn’t let go.
"Daddy, is it, is it because of me...?"
The group pet’s tears suddenly fell. She had always been afraid to ask, but seeing her father like this, she knew she couldn’t be selfish any longer.
"No, Xixi, don’t overthink it. It’s because Daddy doesn’t know how to speak and made Mommy angry. It will be all right in a couple of days, so don’t worry."
Though he lacked strength, Bai Da still opened his mouth to offer comfort.
"Be good and go to school, okay?"
"Okay," the group pet agreed, even though her voice was choked up,
Bai Ye took the group pet to school. Bai Yu brought over some food for Bai Da and turned to him.
"Dad, is Mom...?"
Bai Yu frowned, somewhat unable to understand what exactly was happening.
"No, the villagers, there are some rumors. Give your Mom a couple of days to recover..."
Bai Da drank some water, his eyes flashing with determination; he would absolutely not let Ye Xiu leave him, even if he was covered in wounds, he needed to earn her forgiveness.
...
Bai Ye entered the classroom, unaware that the group pet had secretly slipped out of school. It was her first time skipping class; she was a bit scared, but she was worried about her father and wanted to go back on her own.
Just as she left, she bumped into someone,
"Who’s there?"
Brother Ouyang’s voice resounded above the group pet’s head. As soon as the group pet saw him, her nose tingled with the unfairness of it all, and her tears felt like they were about to fall.
"Brother Ouyang."
"Xixi, what’s wrong?"
Ouyang, seeing the group pet crying, felt a heaviness in his heart and pulled her along.
"Come with me..."
"Okay..."
Just as Bai Zhi was about to head to the classroom, she saw this scene, blinked her eyes, and entered the school.
What to do today?
Oh, have them recite.
Every morning is time for recitation and dictation.
Of course, it’s also the time that class two dislikes the most, always being called out to recite. freёnovelkiss.com
The paragraphs in the book are not fixed; that woman is really too cruel.
Bai Zhi stood on the podium while Wu Wa stood beside her, grinning and watching everyone.
If she saw anyone not paying attention, congratulations, you could go clean the toilets.
They wanted to resist, but their attempts were suppressed time and again.
They wanted to tell their parents they were being bullied, but the next moment the teacher would tell the parents.
[Recently, everyone’s enthusiasm for learning has surged; it’s all thanks to you, the parents.]
[No, no, no, it’s all your merit, teacher. My child, you can hit or scold them whenever...]
Old Xie: "We never do"
Everyone: "Those two devils, wuwuwu..."
Bai Zhi found that such an approach was clearly effective; at least she realized that time, that thing, passes when squeezed, and the problem of recitation gets better with a bit of disciplining.
At noon, Bai Zhi went back to prepare lunch. With only an hour and a half at midday, she often made easy meals.
Fry the ribs until golden, stir-fry them until flavorful, then steam them together with rice in the rice cooker. When done, it’s rib steamed rice.
Eight dishes and a soup? Certainly not. Just as she was about to take the meal to the elderly man, Bai Zhi suddenly saw a person not far away.
That man.
The group pet’s master, at this moment, was nearby, watching her.
Bai Zhi smiled faintly and looked back in the same way.
