Zhou Zhoulang quickly came out with an empty basket on his back. He clutched his pocket, his face excited, his eyes sparkling. He ignored Miss Fu Er who was standing opposite his sister, and walked directly to Man Bao, grinning, "Man Bao Baby, let's go back!"
Second Miss Fu who still wants to talk to Man Bao: ...
Man Bao felt that they had finished talking, so he nodded and waved goodbye to Miss Fu Er.
Second Miss Fu could only say: "If you rest, remember to come to the county to play with me."
Man Bao responded, and walked out holding hands with Zhou Zhoulang.
Zhou Xi waited outside with Wu Lang and Liu Lang. They could always see Man Bao, so they didn't worry too much. When they saw the two coming, they saluted the second Miss Fu inside the door, turned and left.
After walking a long distance, Zhou Zhou Lang looked around and saw that no one took out the copper coins from his pocket, his eyes sparkled: "The kitchen said, our ginger is better than those sold outside, and forty coins are not expensive at all." Look, this is three hundred and twenty wen."
Half of them belonged to Zhou Xi. Zhou Zhoulang counted out the money to her, but Man Bao and the others looked at her eagerly.
Zhou Xi looked back puzzled.
Man Bao said: "Sister, I helped find the customers."
Wu Wulang immediately said: "Sister, I will help when weeding."
Liu Liulang: "I also helped when fertilizing, and we also helped plant the ginger together."
Zhou Zhoulang on the side gave a good demonstration. He counted forty coins from his own money, gave ten coins to Man Bao, ten coins to the fifth and sixth sons, and gave the rest to himself, and then gave the rest to Man Bao. Put the money in the cloth bag and said: "This is to pay off the debt."
Man Bao stared at the ten coins in his hand.
Zhou Zhou Lang clutched his pocket and said: "Man Bao, you can't sue this time, I'm older than Wu Lang, he has money in his hand, how can I not?"
Man Bao said righteously: "Fifth Brother doesn't know how to gamble."
Zhou Zhoulang: "...I don't know how to do it now either."
Man Bao stretched out his hand to him, "Give me the money, and I'll hold it for you. If you want to use it, ask me for it."
Zhou Lang didn't want to give it to him, so Man Bao threatened him, "If you don't give it to me, I will tell my parents that you have money!"
Zhou Zhou Lang took out the ten-cent coin that had just been put into his pocket with a look of grief and indignation, and slapped it on Man Bao's small hand, because there was a lot of ten-cent coin, and her hand was too small, and a penny popped out at once.
Man Bao picked it up, put all the money in his pocket, then patted it contentedly, and then looked at the eldest sister.
Zhou Xi: ...
Dividing money in front of her, is this as if she doesn't exist
but…
The younger brothers and sisters all looked at her, so Zhou Xi could only share the money from the money just distributed like Zhou Zhoulang. She didn't really want to give it to them, "You are all young, why do you need money?"
She felt that she should not have money until she got married, because she had lived like this since she was a child.
Wu Zhoulang said confidently, "Marry a wife!"
Saturday Lang: "Buy clothes!"
Man Bao: "Buy meat!"
Zhou Zhoulang silently said in his heart: I just want to touch it!
Zhou Xi refuted them one by one, "Your parents will pay you the money for marrying a daughter-in-law, Liu Lang, didn't you just make a suit of clothes before the Chinese New Year? Man Bao, save money..."
Man Bao said: "Money cannot be saved, it is spent. Only the money in circulation can be called money. When it is not in circulation, it is just a copper plate. Big sister, will you give it or not?"
"All right." Anyway, Zhou Xi didn't understand a word. She felt that what Man Bao said was wrong, but she didn't know how to refute it. Sure enough, reading is good, and there is no way to argue.
Zhou Xi sighed, and gave ten Wen to each of his three younger brothers and sisters.
Man Bao also asked her, "Don't tell your parents."
Zhou Xile, "You ask a lot, isn't that a lie?"
"I didn't let the elder sister lie, but my parents don't know how to ask, and you don't want to tell me. How can it be a lie if you don't tell me?"
Zhou Xi was speechless.
Looking at the younger siblings standing together, she also knew that they were in the same group, so she could only nod.
Friday Lang and Saturday Lang cheered up, and left two pennies for pocket money for themselves, and handed over the rest to Man Bao for storage, and also told, "We will record it in the account book when we go back."
Man Bao patted his chest and said, "No problem."
Zhou Zhoulang glanced enviously at the two coins in their hands, and said to Man Bao: "Man Bao, why don't you give me the two coins as well, and just save eight coins, okay?"
Man Bao thought about it, and felt that if he hit the stick, he would have to give him a piece of candy, so he took out a couple of pennies from his pocket and gave it to him, telling him, "Fourth brother, you can't gamble."
It's only two pennies, even if he wants to gamble, someone has to be willing to pay, oh no, no, he doesn't want to gamble at all.
After receiving the money, Zhou Zhoulang became satisfied, and began to look curiously at the stalls on both sides, regretting: "Look at the crowds today, we should dig more ginger."
Man Bao said: "What's the rush? Anyway, the busy farming season is over. You and Fifth Brother can sell ginger on their backs every day. Let them be buried in the ground, maybe they can grow longer."
Zhou Zhoulang felt that what Man Bao said made sense, so he didn't feel bad anymore, and looked around excitedly.
Because the busy season of farming has just passed, and it is the day of paying grain taxes, there are a lot of people coming and going in the county town, and there are also grain merchants from other places coming to collect grain, so the county town is very lively.
Correspondingly, there are also a lot of food sold on the street. Zhou Zhoulang wants to eat everything, but he has little money and is not willing to spend it, so he encourages Manbao, "Yaomei, look at that candied haws, does it look good?"
Man Bao swallowed and nodded.
Zhou Zhoulang said: "Buy a bunch."
Zhou Xi was so angry that he patted his head and said, "You are a brother, buy a bunch for your sister."
Zhou Zhoulang didn't speak, and in the end, Zhou Xi, who was rich and cared about Manbao, bought a bunch of candied haws. The hawthorn was made of hawthorn, and the hawthorn was so sour that Manbao didn't want to eat it after one bite.
So cheap Zhou Lang three brothers.
Man Bao felt that this food just looked good, and it was not tasty at all.
Keke gave her a popular science, "That's because the hawthorns here are all wild, with higher acidity. In the future, the hawthorns will be improved to increase the sweetness, and the candied haws produced are still quite delicious."
He added: "In addition to hawthorn, candied haws can also be made from other fruits such as apples. I just checked and found that yam beans were used to make candied haws in history. It is said to be delicious."
Man Bao's eyes sparkled, and he asked, "How delicious is it?"
Keke thought for a while and came up with an adjective, "It is said that candied haws is the most fruit of all kinds, but it may be wrong, because yams are cut off, and human beings always like to give it some beautiful imaginations."
Having said that, Man Bao is still drooling thinking, when the yam vines at home have yam beans, she must ask her sister-in-law to make yam candied haws for her to eat.
