Chapter 23 Thanks
Zhao Lan woke up early, and seeing that Bai Zhi was still asleep, she planned to quietly get out of bed to prepare face water for her. As soon as she got off the ground, Bai Zhi climbed up, rubbed her eyes and said, "Mother, rest, I'll fetch water."
"No, no, you can sleep again, my left hand can still be used, and I have strength. I just need to draw a basin of water, it will not be in the way."
"Oh mother - just listen to me, how heavy is this tub, how do you hold it with one hand? Just sit down, I'll just fetch water." She was about to go out after carrying the tub, when she heard knocking.
Opening the door, it turned out to be Yingzi and her mother.
"Auntie looking for me?" Bai Zhi glanced at Ying Zi behind her, who was carrying a bamboo basket in her hand, which was covered with cloth and contained things.
Ying Ziniang squeezed her body into the room and said with a smile, "Girl Zhi, you saved Yingzi's life yesterday, we haven't had time to thank you yet, we just went to Bai's house and said that your mother and two lived here, so I will look for you. come here."
Bai Zhi smiled and waved: "It's not a big deal, they're all from the same village, so it's nothing to help me."
Ying Ziniang smiled and said: "It may not be anything to you, but to us, you are Yingzi's savior, and I won't say anything nice. In short, from now on, if you two need help with anything Yes, even if you speak to me, as long as I can do it, I will definitely not refuse."
Bai Zhi said with a smile: "It's good to dare, you will have to trouble your aunt in the future."
Ying Ziniang was also happy when she saw that she was speaking so easily. Why didn't she realize that this girl was so likable before.
She took the bamboo basket from Yingzi's hand, put it on the wooden board Zhao Lan was sitting on, and said with a smile, "We mountain people don't have anything good. Your mother and two suffered this injury. Those stingy people in the Bai family want to come I will not give you a good life, I have a few hens at home, saved some eggs, and brought some for your mother and two, so you can make up for it and take care of yourself early."
The people in the mountains are poor, and eating meat is only available during the New Year. The usual meat and fishiness depends on this egg. Who doesn't hide it like a treasure.
Zhao Lan hurriedly declined: "Yingziniang, you should take this egg back, how can I ask for your things, how embarrassing it is."
Ying Ziniang said: "What's the matter? It's just a few eggs, all from my own chickens. I still have them at home. You can eat them at ease."
Bai Zhi smiled and said: "Since this is the case, then we are welcome. We just think that we borrowed it. In the future, when we have enough money, we will pay you back."
Ying Ziniang nodded happily: "Okay, that's it."
After two more words, Ying Ziniang took Yingzi away.
As soon as the two left, Bai Zhi hurriedly lifted the cloth covering the bamboo basket, and saw at least a dozen eggs lying in it, and the appearance of poached eggs immediately appeared in front of her eyes, and she swallowed greedily.
She is ashamed to think about it. She is a famous doctor in the 23rd century, with an annual salary of more than millions. She is an elite among the elite. What delicious food has she not eaten? But right now, he was swallowing saliva at a few raw eggs.
"Mother, we have to hide this egg, Yingziniang has just been to Bai's house, Bai's family must know that she brought something over, and with their character, maybe they will chase after them and ask for these eggs. , not one for them."
Zhao Lan looked at the hut with empty walls and looked distressed: "But in such a big place, where can I hide?"
