Standing in front of the window and watching the interaction between the two children, Mrs. Liu couldn't help showing a smile on her face. She sighed and turned to leave.
Daji bowed his head and lowered his hands to follow.
Mrs. Liu stopped in her tracks, turned her head and said, "Let them go, don't stop them, as for County Magistrate Fu, don't worry about it."
Good luck.
Liu turned around and looked straight ahead, and said softly: "There is no old friend, people go to cool tea, not to mention that Qi'er and him have never met before."
So there is no need to worry too much.
That's what it said, but both grandparents and grandchildren of the Bai family felt sad because magistrate Fu mentioned Bai Qi. Mrs. Liu kept her sadness in her heart, but Bai Shanbao couldn't help crying at night.
He no longer remembers his father, and he does not exist in his memory, but he grew up listening to him, and because he has no father, he has been bullied all the time, let him know in his small heart that it is good to have a father Yes, Daddy will protect him.
So for three days in a row, his little pillow was wet.
Mrs. Liu saw all this and did not intervene.
But soon Bai Shanbao didn't have time to dream about his father anymore in his little head, because he decided to dig up his ginger.
His ginger grows very well, even better than Manbao’s. It’s fat and there are strings connected. He loosens the soil with a small hoe, holds the ginger leaves and pulls them up to bring out a bunch. Come.
Bai Shanbao was very happy, and went to his grandmother to exchange money with the ginger in his hand.
Mrs. Liu gave him a bunch of money, and Bai Shanbao was so happy that he took the money to find Man Bao, "Look, I made a lot of money."
Man Bao was not envious at all, she ran back to her room, took out her bamboo box from Ke Ke, and came out to look for him with her arms in her arms, "Mine is more than yours."
Old Zhou Tou was sitting on the threshold smoking a cigarette, he knocked on the pipe when he heard the words, quietly stood up and looked this way, found that he couldn't see clearly, so he took a few steps forward.
Man Bao squatted in the yard and opened her box, showing him her money.
Inside there was a small pile of scattered copper plates, and four strings of copper plates tied separately. Man Bao counted them out and showed him, saying: "There are still twenty-two coins left, and I will have another string."
Man Bao proudly said: "When my fifth brother comes back from the county, there must be a bunch."
Bai Shanbao envied, "How did you earn so much?"
"If I don't buy meat every day, I can save more." Bai Shanbao said with a finger: "My fifth brother and the others can sell several hundred yuan of ginger every day. It's winter, and people who eat ginger It seems to have changed a lot.”
"Hey, didn't you say you eat carrots in winter and ginger in summer?"
"Yes, that's what my friend said, but it's strange that they eat it in winter."
The standing old Zhou thought, two idiots, ginger is harvested in autumn and winter, if you don’t eat it in autumn and winter, who would dig out ginger and eat it when it is not big
He quietly glanced at the money in Man Baozhu's box again, knowing it well.
The few small coins are all held by Manbao. Old Zhoutou never knows how much they earn, but he knows that their money and Manbao are separated.
Man Bao said that the money was hers, so it was hers.
The money of the fifth and the sixth is about the same as that of Manbao, but those two boys are very picky. They even buy vegetarian buns for lunch when they go to the city. Bag.
And since Manbao became rich, she started to buy meat at home again, or asked Zhou Zhoulang to buy some when he went to the big market in the morning to buy ingredients, or asked Zhou Wulang to buy it from the county.
Lao Zhou calculated the money spent by Man Bao recently, and he had a good idea of the money earned by the fifth and the sixth during this period.
After such a calculation, Lao Zhou was satisfied, and discussed with his wife in front of Man Bao before going to bed at night, "Winter is coming, and the fourth son will be back soon after serving in the army. I think we can prepare to build a house."
Mrs. Qian also nodded, "Just start on the open space next to it, go out along the building, and open a gate in the yard to go through."
Old Zhou nodded, and said, "Since we want to build it, I'm thinking of building two more rooms, let's just build seven big houses."
Qian looked at her husband in surprise.
Old Zhoutou twirled his hands habitually, and said: "The fourth child is about to get married, and the fifth child is about to get married. They all have to have their own rooms, so they have to build three rooms, and Manbao is getting bigger. She is a scholar, so I have to build a room for her, and the grandchildren of Datou and Daya are getting older every year, so I thought about building a few more rooms for them to live in."
This is different from what they discussed before, Qian frowned.
The house their family lives in was built when Manbao was one year old. The six large houses were built with a lot of money, all made of stone and blue bricks. They dare not say the first one in the village, but they are countable.
Before that, they lived in a low and low half-mud and half-thatched house with small windows, so they could hardly see light in the house during the day or night, not to mention the night.
Man Bao may not be used to it, or she may be weak. She has always cried a lot. After crying for more than half a year, it rained a lot that year, and she had many red rashes on her body. Old Zhou Tou and Qian Shi were frightened. No, I'm afraid the child will just disappear.
Later, the doctor said that the place where I lived was too humid.
Old Zhou Tou gritted his teeth, took the money he hid to build these five stone houses, and purposely opened the windows of the main house a little bigger.
In summer, I take Manbao to sleep by the window, which is ventilated and dry, and can bask in the sun from time to time.
In winter, they live in the inner room.
In the past two years, the baby started to sleep separately when he was older.
They had discussed it before, the fourth child has become a adult, and they want to talk about marriage, so they have to have a house of their own, but the fifth and sixth child are not in a hurry, the two brothers can live first, and the extra room will be given to Man Bao , Wait until the fifth child is about to say goodbye, just build another room.
As a result, Lao Zhou now wants to build seven rooms in one go
Qian Shi stared at him with a very strange look.
Old Zhou Tou coughed lightly and said, "Since it is going to be built, let's build it all at once. Isn't the fourth brother about to pay back the money recently? With the money handed in by the boss and the others, it should be enough to build the house, right?"
Qian was silent for a moment and said: "But the fourth child still has to talk about kissing."
Old Zhou Tou also sighed, his face full of sorrow.
Man Bao next to him couldn't help stretching out his small hand to caress their eyebrows, and quickly said: "Father, mother, I am rich too, and I will build a house for you."
Old Zhou Tou hugged her in his arms, "Good girl, this house is lived by your brother and the others. You first lend them a house to build, and then father asks them to return it to you."
Qian Shi: ... She finally knew what he was planning.
Man Bao didn't know anything, and said with a simple face: "I also shared a room? Of course I have to contribute, and you don't need to pay back."
"What kind of room? You have two rooms, one for sleeping and one for study. In the future, you will also invite the young master of the Bai family to do homework at home."
Qian gave him a sidelong glance and said, "Shut up."
What do daughter-in-laws think of Man Bao occupying two rooms when they cannot live at home
