Not only did Mr. Bai give them the New Year's money, but also Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Bai, and they were lenient. Even though Man Bao and Bai Shanbao were still young, they understood this truth very well.
So the two who received the gift took Bai Erlang's hand, one left and one right, and took him to play together.
Reluctantly, Bai Erlang ran out with them, and when he got outside, he asked, "What are you playing?"
"We're going to find mushrooms that grow on rotting leaves and manure and move it to my compost heap so they'll bloom more to break down the manure."
Bai Erlang was stunned, "What's so funny about this?"
Bai Shanbao said: "It's fun, even if it is dug and transplanted together with the soil where it grows, it may not survive. I am competing with Man Bao to see who can find more and have a higher survival rate of transplanting. "
Man Bao nodded, "There was only a drizzle two days ago, so there are more mushrooms like this on the mountain, otherwise it would be hard to find."
Bai Erlang shook off their hands and said, "I won't play with you anymore, I'm going to play hide-and-seek with my friends."
Bai Shanbao despised, "What's so fun about hide-and-seek? Once I find out, you will definitely hide in the haystack again."
Bai Erlang stared, "How do you know?"
Man Bao laughed and said: "Ten hide-and-seek, nine times you hid there, and the other time you didn't hide well, we all know."
"Nonsense, they don't know, they often can't find me, and there are several haystacks."
"That's because they're stupid," Man Bao said, "Look at the scattered straw next to the haystack and you'll know where you are hiding, hum, it's no fun for you to hide in the haystack every time. "
The two parties disagreed, and they parted ways at the entrance of the village. Bai Shanbao also said to him: "It's not that we don't take you to play, it's because you don't want to play with us. You can't complain to uncle."
"I won't sue. Whoever sues is a puppy."
So the two sides reached a consensus and played separately.
Bai Shanbao and Man Bao ran towards the mountain at the entrance of the village holding hands.
Of course, it is not a mountain, but a hill, because there is no wasteland on it, and there are all kinds of beautiful flowers and wild fruits, which are very popular with the children in the village, and everyone often likes to play there.
And many people's vegetable gardens are not far from the foot of the mountain, so the adults never stop the children from going up to play.
Manbao's family opened three compost heaps this year, two of which are at the foot of the mountain, next to the three lands they reclaimed.
For the competition, she and Bai Shanbao shared one, actively collected those mushrooms from everywhere, and then transplanted them to the compost heap.
The decomposing poisonous mushrooms she found had already been included, and Man Bao tried to keep them alive and cultivate more hyphae and spores according to the entries; Keke included, waiting for points and entries.
Bai Shanbao feels that this game is very fulfilling, just like planting ginger. He reaps a piece of happiness every time he finds a plant, and he reaps a piece of happiness when the transplanted mushrooms survive.
It would be even happier if I could wake up and find that there are more small mushrooms growing next to a mushroom.
Because of this, Bai Shanbao is very keen to squat next to the compost heap to observe how they grow more and more, and he doesn't dislike this stinky compost heap at all.
If Bai Shanbao is like this, Man Bao will reap even more happiness.
This made everyone in the Zhou family very puzzled. What is there to see in the manure pile? Why are these two children so keen on transplanting these inedible mushroom umbrellas
But even though they don't understand it, they also know that they attach great importance to this thing. Zhou Dalang and the others will subconsciously avoid the mushrooms they transplanted when composting, so as not to damage them.
Mrs. Liu was also very curious, so she specially called her grandson and Man Bao to ask, and learned that the two children were because "mushrooms can decompose rotten leaves and other difficult-to-decompose substances, and speed up the retting", so she was silent for a while. I understand, but she understands the second half of the sentence, and their purpose is obviously the last half of the sentence.
Liu Shi originally thought it was a simple game, but they didn't expect that they had such a purpose.
She couldn't help being curious, "Who told you this?"
Bai Shanbao scratched his head and looked at Man Bao.
Man Bao also scratched his head, and said, "No one told me, isn't it visible to the eyes?"
Bai Shanbao thought about it, nodded and said, "Yes, you can see it with your eyes."
Mrs. Liu didn't know what to ask. She never stopped her grandson from being naughty, not to mention that this kind of naughtiness was different from children's naughtiness in the traditional sense.
So she just smiled and let the two kids go on playing.
This year, Mr. Zhuang gave them a long holiday, from the day of the new year until the end of the Lantern Festival.
Some time ago, they were detained for reading, and the two children had no time to play at all. Perhaps they were detained very much, and they were as out of control as wild horses running away during the holidays.
Man Bao's things have always been taken care of by herself. Since she was very young, Qian Shi didn't ask her for New Year's money, so Qian Shi didn't know at the beginning that she received "big gifts" from Bai's family until the first month. One day, Man Bao wanted to make a hollow knot with various colored threads and hang it on the head of the bed because he liked the appearance of Jin Nuozi. Only then did Qian know about it.
It's the fifth day of the new year.
Qian was startled, this is gold!
Although a gold nude is not big, only a few cents, it is still extremely precious to people like them.
Especially the craftsmanship with which it is made.
After seeing it, Qian opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything, but said to Man Bao, "We have to return the gift to Young Master Bai and Second Young Master, Man Bao, can you give this golden naked son to mother?"
Man Bao asked: "Mother, do you want to give it back to them?"
Qian sighed: "This is too precious."
Man Bao scratched her head, thinking it was not good, but she couldn't say why it was not good.
She just held onto the beautiful golden nudes and refused to give them.
Old Zhou Tou also saw these golds, his eyes sparkled, and when his wife looked over, he coughed lightly and said seriously: "It's a bit expensive, but it's for people like us. In the Bai family, people don't Care about the money."
Qian frowned.
Old Zhou Tou hurriedly said: "We also gave New Year's money to the two young masters. Although it is not as good as what the two of them gave to Man Bao, the courtesy is light and the affection is heavy."
He is still fond of these golden nudes, and plans to talk to Man Bao later.
Man Bao nodded and said: "Yes, courtesy is light and affection is heavy."
Seeing that my daughter was holding on to the golden nude like her father, I knew she couldn't get it.
The Qian family sighed sadly, thinking that the family had to prepare some gifts to return to the Bai family, otherwise the difference would be too great.
