Before it was dark, Man Bao dragged a bag to the ground, poured out all the copper coins in the cloth bag, counted them, and took out the copper coins and silver pieces from his own cloth pocket.
Everyone's mouths were wide open. Although they knew they had made a lot of money, they didn't know there was so much.
Zhou Dalang and Zhou Zhoulang knew it all the time, so they were limited in their shock, but Zhou Zhoulang and Zhou Zhoulang couldn't help but widen their eyes, staring blankly at Man Bao who was squatting on the ground counting money together with their parents.
Zhou Wulang found a rope for stringing money, and then everyone started counting the money.
Although Wu Wulang could barely count to one hundred, he always made mistakes, so he counted by ten and ten, and counted into piles, and then counted ten piles, that would be one hundred coins.
Man Bao despised him very much and asked him to string the money behind and count by himself.
Datou and the others joined in the fun, and also followed the chanting of one, two, three, four, and when the number reached twenty, they became confused. They couldn't help shouting seventeen for a while, and twenty-two for a while.
Man Bao didn't seem to be affected at all, and counted down on his own.
Old Zhou Tou sat aside, touched the shredded tobacco on his waist that he was unwilling to smoke, and squeezed out a pinch, put it into the cigarette rod and lit it.
He just looked at Man Bao, not knowing what he was thinking.
Man Bao successfully counted to one hundred, pushed all the money to the fifth brother to put on the string, and counted again, Liu Liulang also pinched a rope and waited for the string behind.
Datou and others followed along to join in the fun, while counting the fifteen and sixteen of Man Bao, while secretly touching the money.
It's a lot of money, it's good to touch it.
Man Bao quickly figured out the money.
Including the ten cash deposit given by Fu Wenyun, the total is two hundred and seventy cash.
She took out the broken silver coins and asked Mrs. Qian to help her weigh the total amount.
Mrs. Qian weighed it and said with a smile: "Three cents and four cents, that's three hundred and forty cents."
Everyone wowed, and Man Bao counted with his fingers, sweating profusely, and everyone didn't help her, just watched her there and counted what seventy plus forty equals.
It took a long time for Man Bao to figure it out, and shouted: "It's six hundred and ten Wen."
Qian Shi smiled and nodded, "So how much do you have to pay to Gongzhong?"
Of course, Man Bao couldn't figure it out out of thin air. She scratched her head, and finally asked Datou and Ertou to help her find six big stones and six small stones.
Arranged six big stones in a row, pointed and said: "This is one hundred coins, I want to give mother sixty coins..."
Man Bao put down a small stone in front of the big one and said, "This is Liushiwen."
"This is also one hundred Wen, and I have to give Niang sixty Wen... a total of six and sixty Wen," Man Bao counted, adding one by one, and finally clapped his little hands and said: "Three hundred and sixty Wen, Just give Niang Liuwen money."
Man Bao gave the piece of broken silver to Qian Shi, and counted out twenty-six coins from the scattered copper plates to her, which was regarded as handing over to the public.
The rest of the money was theirs, a total of two hundred and forty-four cash.
Man Bao called all the little friends who had helped her to her side, counted the heads, and one of them who was very generous gave them ten coins.
Including Lao Zhoutou and Qian Shi who helped her weave bamboo baskets, so that's eighty articles.
Considering that Da Ya, Er Ya, Fifth Brother and Six Brothers accompanied her to the county seat today, they also made a lot of effort, and each of them gave them ten coins.
Everyone watched Man Bao running around the house as a money-spreading boy, and the children had to look at their parents before taking money.
Seeing Man Bao giving away money like this, Zhou Dalang and the others subconsciously wanted to refuse, but then thought, wouldn't the money come out of Man Bao's hands in this way
So they cheered up again and motioned for them to pick it up.
It's impossible to grab money from Man Bao, but it doesn't matter if you grab money from your own children, and even joined in the fun, "Man Bao, we also helped with your bamboo basket, don't we get paid?"
Man Bao thought so, so he also sent money to the three older brothers. When he turned around and saw the sister-in-laws, he felt that they were working hard, so he also sent money to them.
The stringed money was scattered again, and only sixty-four cash remained in Manbao's hands. She didn't care, and put it in her pocket happily, but found that her pocket was too small, and discussed it with Xiaoqian. "Sister-in-law, please help me make the cloth pocket on my clothes bigger, it will save more money."
He's needlework is the best, she said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you are so small, no matter how big the cloth bag is, it won't be too big. When there are scraps of cloth at home, I will make you a cloth bag, just like a purse .”
Man Bao was happy, "Okay, okay." She rolled her eyes and said, "I want to design the style myself."
Mrs. He agreed with a smile, and collected the ten Wen money that Man Bao gave her. Last time, in order to repay Zhou Zhou Lang's gambling debts, all the money in each house was spent, and now it is finally profitable.
Although Man Bao still has a lot of money left, compared with the previous more than 600 yuan, the 64 Wen is no longer regarded by adults.
They also knew that it was impossible to take over the money from her, so everyone set their sights on their sons and daughters.
Old Zhoutou first looked at Wu Wulang and Saturday Lang, took a puff of cigarette comfortably and said, "You two can just keep two pennies, and let your mother keep the rest for you, so that you can marry your daughter-in-law later."
Zhou Dalang also said to Datou and Daya: "Let your mother keep it for you, and I will buy you new clothes in the future."
Zhou Zhoulang also looked at the two children of their family, and coaxed: "Come on, Dad will keep it for you, and I will buy you candy later."
The children clutched the copper coins tightly, wanting to cry but not daring to cry.
The only people on the scene who didn't get the money were Zhou Zhoulang and the three little Doudings.
Man Bao's eyes fell on the fourth brother, and quickly slid over him, and then took out three pennies to distribute to the third, fourth and third, and said very generously: "My sister gave it to you."
The three little Doudings quickly caught it, and said to Man Bao in a childish voice, "Congratulations, little aunt, for getting rich."
Full of joy.
Zhou Zhou Lang squatted aside, almost crying, Man Bao squatted next to him, and sighed: "Fourth brother, you are still a bad person, so I can't give you money."
Zhou Zhou Lang asked her with red eyes, "Aren't I your brother, why am I a bad person?"
"Everyone who gambles is a bad person," Man Bao said affirmatively, "Only those who have reformed themselves can be liked by others, otherwise everyone will hate you."
For the first time, Zhou Lang bowed his head and squatted silently on the ground without speaking. When all the people had it but he didn’t, he finally realized the differential treatment he received because of gambling. Hong whispered, "I, I know I was wrong."
"That's really great, then keep working hard and let your parents and brothers and sisters-in-law see your sincerity." Man Bao patted his shoulder like his second brother and asked, "How is the land reclamation going?" ?”
Zhou Zhoulang sighed and said, "It should be ready before winter."
Man Bao said, "I'll help you tomorrow."
No, she removed the blind command, and he couldn't see any use for her. Zhou Zhoulang said sullenly: "Aren't you going to school tomorrow?"
"Go, but I can go for a walk in the field first, and then go to school with my sister-in-law when I come back."
Man Bao has not yet become a student consciously, he feels free to come and go, and he can do whatever he wants as before.
