Xiaoqian smiled awkwardly, and said in a low voice: "Man Bao, go out and line up, sister-in-law can do it by herself."
Man Bao shook his head and went to look at the soup she was making. Bai Shanbao also ran in and carried the soup to the table with her.
The dishes and rice were waiting for Qian Shi to set them up, and the rushing students had already lined up noisily, and then Qian Shi cooked food for everyone.
Man Bao and Bai Shanbao took their own bowls and ran to the end of the queue.
Bai Erlang rushed to the front and quickly typed out. Seeing that the two of them were at the back, he was very surprised, "Why are you here?"
Bai Shanbao: "Guess!"
Bai Erlang didn't bother to guess, he glanced at Man Bao, groaned twice and left with his head up.
Bai Shanbao turned his head and said to Man Bao, "He's still angry."
Man Bao expressed his understanding.
The last time they had a bet, Bai Erlang lost, although he insisted on not admitting that he lost, because he felt that he was not black, and it must be Bai Shanbao who was playing for selfishness, so he sided with her.
But at that time, the three of them asked Mrs. Bai, Mrs. Bai, Master Bai, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zheng, and everyone said that Bai Erlang was darker today than yesterday, so although he was very unwilling, he still lost the two zodiac signs to Man Bao. .
Only then did Master Bai and the others know why the three children came to them early in the morning to judge whether his silly son was darker today than yesterday.
At the end of Man Bao and Bai Shanbao, she was not in a hurry to leave after ordering food, and asked Qian curiously, "Sister-in-law, have you gone to hoe the fields?"
"No hoe, mother asked the fourth brother to plow, I took him to see if the ground can be moved, and it took a while."
"Fourth brother is so pitiful."
"And your fifth brother."
Man Bao immediately said: "Sister-in-law, last time we went to the county to find some rags, you can help me sew two thick bandages, then wrap them around Fifth Brother's hands, and put one on the shoulders, It doesn't hurt that much."
Bai Shanbao ate at the side and said, "Why is it so troublesome, just go to my house and ask for a cow."
Man Bao turned to look at him, "Aren't your cows going to work now?"
Bai Shanbao shook his head, "No, my house is just such a piece of land, which is idle."
His family's property is not here, the current one is still taken from Mr. Bai, not much, just grow some vegetables, raise some chickens and ducks, and grow some special crops.
Man Bao is happy, then I will go to pick up the cows with you after dinner.
Bai Shanbao was surprised, "You know how to lead a cow?"
Man Bao said confidently: "No!"
"..."
Even though they won't, the two children still went, and of course, Xiaoqian also went.
Seeing the swarthy buffalo, Man Bao and Bai Shanbao stopped at a distance, and no one dared to go forward.
Bai Shanbao: "Didn't you say you want to come to lead the cows, hurry up."
"This is your cow, you should go."
Seeing that the two children were afraid, the long-term worker in charge of herding cattle and farming laughed and said, "Young master, Miss Zhou, this cow won't be able to stand up to people, don't worry."
I don't know if the cow understood it. He mooed twice, and then raised his head towards them. The two children yelled twice, turned around and ran, and disappeared in a flash.
Qian: ...
Long-term workers: ...
Changgong scratched his head in embarrassment, and said to Qian Shi with a guilty conscience: "The child is a little timid... Hahaha, by the way, the old lady said, you just take this cow, don't rush to return it, wait for it. It’s okay when it’s over.”
Qian's gratefully agreed, took the rope, and led it away.
Man Bao and Bai Shanbao ran across the bridge in one breath, and stopped when they were out of breath. The two of them looked back warily, and saw that the scary cow hadn't followed, so they just sat down on the grass superior.
"Your cattle are horrible."
"Isn't it what you want to hold?"
Man Bao was so guilty that he didn't speak.
Qian's holding the cow appeared in sight. Seeing the child on the other side of the bridge getting up and running again, she shouted, "Man Bao, I'm going to send the cow to your fourth brother—"
The land in Xiaowan was on the opposite side of the bridge, and Man Bao immediately ran away in a hurry. He stood at the head of the bridge here to look at the cow, and asked, "Sister-in-law, do cows eat people?"
Qian Shi: "... cows eat grass, don't think about it all day long, go back to school. Young master, go back to school with Man Bao, take a break, and have classes in the afternoon."
Bai Shanbao responded and took Man Bao back to the school.
"Why are you afraid of your cow?"
"I don't see it often, but you often see cows. Why are you afraid of it?"
The two children walked away while bickering. Zhou Zhoulang, who was struggling to pull the plow in the field, saw the cow brought by his sister-in-law from a distance, and almost cried.
He sat down on the ground directly, and asked loudly: "Sister-in-law, where did you get the cow?"
"Man Bao and the young master borrowed it."
Fang took a handkerchief to wipe Zhou Zhoulang's sweat, and said in a low voice, "Look at you, your brother isn't tired yet."
Zhou Zhoulang glanced at the side and said, "Yes, he didn't shout, but you have to look at him."
Fang turned her head to look over, and saw Wu Wulang lying directly on the soil, and when he heard them talking, he raised his arm weakly and waved it.
Fang couldn't help asking: "Are you so tired?"
"It's quite tiring, you don't know if you haven't pulled it," Zhou Zhoulang said: "Every time I plow in spring, I can just lie down and sleep, and I wish I had to move."
He glanced at Zhou Wulang and said, "But the fifth one is in a miserable situation this time. He has never pulled a plow before, and this is the first time."
Zhou Wulang nodded bitterly. There are four older brothers on top, and he is not an adult. Basically, this kind of heavy work has nothing to do with him.
This is the first time I know how hard it is to pull the plow.
Thinking of the family's land, except for some that can be plowed by oxen, the others are owned by the four brothers, especially the eldest brother and the three who pull it.
"Isn't it? You have to treat your fourth brother better in the future. Don't bully me, let you help me and always find excuses to refuse."
"I'm talking about the eldest brother, the second brother and the third brother, not you."
Zhou Zhoulang regained his strength, got up and went to pull the ox over to put on the plow, and at the same time kicked his ass with his toe, saying: "Get up quickly and don't get in the way, what's wrong with me, I also pulled the plow Yes, you can’t enjoy life without suffering just because you’re two years younger than me, you know, when I was your age, I was already pulling the plow.”
Wu Wulang doesn't quite remember something that was too long ago, he asked suspiciously, "Really?"
"Of course that's true."
Wu Wulang got up from the ground, "Okay, I'll go back to ask Dad in the evening, Dad remembers the things in the field best."
Zhou Zhou Lang waved his hand, not afraid at all, because he was indeed 15 years old when he went to pull the plow with the eldest brother and the others. At that time, he was much worse than the fifth child. Acres more.
After nearly two months of spring plowing, he cried for two months. It was really too bitter.
