Chapter 191: Chapter 191: A busy weekend
As expected, when Zhou Zhu Yao stay for a sleepover, she complained about this matter to Bai Yi Yang.
"It's not like I haven't seen that 'son-in-law's younger brother' Aunt Li is talking about but I really can't like him. He is too old fashioned, when he saw me he already have some complain, how can I continue meeting? Really not compatible with me." Zhou Zhu Yao said. Since she is saying it like this, seems like she did try seeing that man but it's just not compatible.
"En, don't date if you don't like." Bai Yi Yang nod, she also agree with this. The old people are worried about Zhou Zhu Yao's age, if she doesn't like a man means she is picky in their eyes. But Bai Yi Yang think it is important to get along with each other. She don't have the experience but isn't this the most basic?
"What so bad about being unmarried, it's not like I don't have my own money. As for children, don't I have 5 of you." Zhou Zhu Yao laugh. She lie flat on top of the soft carpet in the middle of Bai Yi Yang's bedroom.
Tonight, she is sleeping in Bai Yi Fang's princess bedroom, she didn't sleep in Bai Yi Ling's bedroom since she understand very well how Bai Yi Ling is, other than her sisters, she have this very strong sense of personal space, so she don't dare to invade it.
"Jie, how about I introduce you to Mr.Ling? You two looks quite compatible and get along well." Bai Yi Yang grinned. Mr.Ling is not bad looking, he may be a bit awkward but other thing, he is fine. What more, his age is just right, 31 years old, have a car, don't know about a house. Bai Yi Yang listed all this criteria.
"See..see..see..you young people only saw this things. If he is that good, then why is he not married yet at his age?" Zhou Zhu Yao said.
"Maybe he have the same view as you..or maybe he got his heart broken, we don't know." Bai Yi Yang said. Mr.Ling doesn't seems to be that kind of people who have bad or difficult trait, however he also doesn't seems to be someone who is against marriage, so most probably he is heartbroken. Of course she didn't know this, she is just guessing based on her impressions on him.
"What a good deduction you have there. Stop talking about this matter, I am sleepy." Zhou Zhu Yao get up and walk out of the bedroom. Before leaving, she said goodbye to the two girls and went to Bai Yi Fang bedroom.
"I think Mr.Ling looks good with Zhu Yao jiejie too." Bai Yi Ling said while they are lying down with the lamp switch off.
"Suddenly?" Bai Yi Yang laugh softly.
"It just crossed my mind." Bai Yi Ling said and didn't say anything anymore.
Bai Yi Yang woke up at 6.30 am and went to woke up Bai Yi Chen. Today they are going into the woods to search for Matsutake mushrooms for Boss Sun. Like always, Bai Yi Chen will pick up other mushrooms and Bai Yi Yang will wander around on her own.
Recently, Bai Yi Ling stated a few times that she won't come to the English tuition class every week since they are teaching stuff that she already know. It's not like she can enter the High School class, she thinks it's a waste of tuition fee. Bai Yi Yang's opinion is that she don't have to quit the class but she can ho when she wanted to go, it will be a waste for the registration fee.
Bai Yi Ling is very good at growing succulent now, actually she already started selling succulents but only to the villagers or her schoolmates, as for the people who keep asking in her social media that live far away, she can't entertain them now since their village doesn't have their post box like the next village.
Bai Yi Yang did ask about it to Head Village Li. Hearing that Bai Yi Ling is doing this kind of things, Head Village Li ask the post office in town and they said they will consider it. If they can't build one, then Bai Yi Yang is thinking that she will collaborate with Aunt Mu, they can put the packages in Aunt Mu store, the postage company's lorry can pick it up there.
Bai Yi Yang knows that Bai Yi Ling is passionate about growing succulents and she like interacting with people who also loves succulents. In her social media, since she actively posted beautiful pictures of succulents, she have gain quite a number of fans and followers who like looking at her pictures.
Bai Yi Yang is usually the one who took the pictures, then Bai Yi Ling will post the name and descriptions about the succulents every time the make a post. That's why her post is popular. One picture can get up to 2-3k likes and a few hundred share. Flower and plants lover, of course they have their own community.
While going into the jungle, Bai Yi Yang talk about this matter to Bai Yi Chen. Bai Yi Chen being how he usually is, he has always been supportive. He said that he can help talk about the matter with Aunt Mu.
"Okay, that will be great. I wanted to ask Old Zhou house at first but if we talk about negotiating payment with them they won't agree, what more Grandma Zhou and Zhu Yao jiejie is already busy, it's better to do this with Aunt Mu who from morning to night stay at the shop." Bai Yi Yang said. Aunt Mu relationship with them is more business related, it will be easier to negotiate with Aunt Mu.
"I agree." Bai Yi Chen think the same. When people are involved in business transaction, the relationship will be a bit different, take Second Zhou for example, their relationship is good but not like how they are with Old Zhou couple, Zhou Zhu Yao and Uncle Zhou.
Bai Yi Yang leave Bai Yi Chen alone and went to ranger the forest to search for Matsutake mushrooms, she take her time while chatting with TongTong, the system and host haven't walk around like this for a while, so they are quite carefree.
At 9.15 am, Bai Yi Yang and Bai Yi Chen head back home. When they arrived home, Bai Yi Ling is in the kitchen, toasting bread and frying eggs and sausages, Bai Yi Fang is already noisy running around with the puppies in the yard while Bai Yi Mo is sprawled in front of the television, looking like he just woke up. Zhou Zhu Yao have returned home earlier, that's what Bai Yi Fang told her.
Bai Yi Chen head straight to the mushrooms drying place and Bai Yi Yang enter the kitchen to wipe the Matsutake mushrooms lightly. Her appointment with Boss Sun is at 10.00 am like usual. She look out of the window and saw Bai Yi Chen arranging the mushrooms, then she saw the finished storage room and also the green house.
Actually she wanted to check it out sooner but yesterday she was busy until late evening and today she also need to go out early. Seems like they can only check it out in the evening. Bai Yi Yang plan for her greenhouse is to grow different type of berries, cherry tomatoes and various herbs.
After finished cleaning up the mushrooms, Bai Yi Yang proceed to pack dim sums and buns for Mr.Feng to bring to City Nan. Mr.Feng already sent text messages telling her that he is here, he will come later after the workers finished picking the fruits.
While she is working on it, Bai Yi Ling also finished making their breakfast, toast with fried eggs and sausages with canned baked beans on the side. Bai Yi Chen is also called over from the vegetables field. Seems like feeding the family is not a problem anymore as long as Bai Yi Yang prepare ingredients in advance or even making simple things like this.
When Boss Sun arrived, they immediately repeat the process like before, business first before anything else. The Matsutake mushrooms come out at 4.4 kg, cost 52,800 yuan.

Boss Sun chat with Bai Yi Yang about her trip to Country S, what did she do and so on. Then, their topics move from Country S to the fishing team from last time going for a fishing trip, Bai Yi Yang still remember the uncles so she ask a bit about them. Their trip hasn't been that fruitful and interesting than the trip in Country J with Bai Yi Yang last time. Bai Yi Yang also cannot do anything about it, she is really busy with schools so she don't have the time to go for a fishing trip.
"Those old men is really inconsiderate, it's not like you do fishing as a living." Boss Sun said.
"I should have hold back a bit last time." Bai Yi Yang laugh. Boss Sun also agree and continue talking about those uncles.
At 10.40 am, Boss Sun need to leave, so Bai Yi Yang pack some frozen dim sums and steamed buns for him to bring home. Boss Sun is not polite at all, between them, there is no such thing anymore. Both side treat each others as relatives so giving and taking food is common, just like how Bai Yi Yang is with the Old Cui couple and Zhang Yong.
Mr.Feng also stop by near the afternoon while the workers finish picking vegetables and Bai Yi Yang hand over the styrofoam box filled with frozen food and also fresh mushrooms.
After that, Bai Yi Yang start preparing lunch. There aren't much meat left in the fridge, they already run out of pork except for the pork ribs, one whole chicken left and also about 2 kg of oxtails. As for the seafood, they don't have much either, only fish and squid.
Bai Yi Yang plan to make braised oxtails. Making this is time consuming, it takes long to simmer the oxtails to make the meat soften, so she do this first. She prepare the spices and fry the huge amount of oxtails, then she start cooking them in low heat. They had their breakfast late so it's fine if they have their dinner late.
After that, Bai Yi Yang cut the pork ribs into smaller pieces and marinate it, she is making steamed pork ribs with taro cubes. The last dishes will be scrambled egg with mixed vegetables consisting of carrots and corn. Three dishes will be enough for now. Of course she just prepare the ingredients only and let the oxtails continue to simmer.
She head to the bathroom to take a bath first, after this, she need to look over the homework from the whole week she missed the classes. She is really going to be a bit busy this weekend.
After the midterm result announcement, even when she was absent from class the whole week, the teachers will only told Bai Yi Chen to tell her about the homework, that's because she really did too well in the exam. Of course Bai Yi Yang won't score too perfect in each subjects but her range mark is all 95% and above, their marking system is based on 100% marks. As for the science subjects, Bai Yi Yang scores is perfect, don't say about Mathematics, she scores 100% in that, making Mr.Ling very happy. Basically, her examination mark is also legendary. If Su Long's mark has always been above 90%, then Bai Yi Yang is on another level.
When the full mark of each subject is displayed, the teachers can't even blame Su Long dropping in rank. Su Long's mark is always maintained, he still aced the the exam like before, some subjects even show improvement, it's just that it is too difficult to beat Bai Yi Yang almost perfect mark. The rest of Cass 1 students who saw their full marks later was speechless, so they have two god of study in their class now is it?
Since it is like this, the teachers totally have full trust in Bai Yi Yang that she is going to finish her piled up homework. They even told Bai Yi Chen that she can take her time since she will busy with the R&D competition.
Finished with reviewing her homework, Bai Yi Yang went back to the kitchen and saw Bai Yi Chen who seems to just have returned from working outside is already preparing to steam the pork rib and taro that Bai Yi Yang has prepared in advance. The pork rib has been seasoned, the taro has been cut into cubes, only need to mix them up and put it in the steamer.
"Ge, I can do that. You go take a bath." Bai Yi Yang said. Bai Yi Chen haven't even took off the hat on his head. Bai Yi Yang has made him wear it every time he goes to the farm, together with hand socks and clothes that fully cover him. Bai Yi Chen is so good looking, what if he got burned under the sun?
"I will do this and go." Bai Yi Chen smile. Bai Yi Yang doesn't do the kitchen work on her own now, Bai Yi Chen and Bai Yi Ling help her a lot. She is very thankful to them for this.
"Okay. You have set up the steamer. You go, I will watch it over." Bai Yi Yang said again. She is making scrambled egg too after this. She actually took her time, they will be able to eat lunch soon.
"En." Bai Yi Chen nod. He drink a cup of cold water before leaving the kitchen.
Bai Yi Yang finished making the scrambled egg in no time. She look over the fridge and decided to add kimchi in their menu. Then she check the braised oxtails, making sure the sauce has thickened and add scallions on top of a large portion. Half of it was left in the pot, they can put it in the fridge to eat later since the portion she cook was a lot.

The siblings have their fulfilling meal with real meat after a while. It's not that they haven't eat meat, but their food for the whole week was mostly food that Bai Yi Yang has prepared in advance while she make the dishes today from scratch. They also never had braised oxtails before too, eating more than usual is understandable when faced with delicious food like this.
