Man Bao is so small, how could he be able to cover his two elder brothers, so Zhou Dalang kept shooting at them, and then ordered them confidently, "Wash the fishing net and take it home, hum!"
Then, together with Zhou Zhoulang, they picked up the wooden bucket filled with fish and went home. Before leaving, they also took Manbao's four little ones away.
Datou and Ertou also wanted to slip away, but Zhou Dalang named them to stay.
So the four people left behind looked enviously at their backs getting further and further away when they went home.
Wu Wulang looked at all kinds of things on the fishing net, and sighed resignedly. Every time he fished, what he hated the most was the work of washing the fishing net later.
Friday Lang and Saturday Lang resigned to their fate and put the fishing net on a slightly cleaner grassland, and then took off the water plants, wooden sticks, stones, soil and other sundries stuck on it with Datou Lang, and dragged it until it was clean The waters are cleaned there.
Then put it in a bamboo basket and carry it home to dry.
When they got home, they were naturally scolded by the old Zhou, because they not only missed the time for dinner, but also made their bodies dirty and smelly.
Zhou Dalang and Zhou Zhoulang sat aside with lowered eyebrows, as if this matter had nothing to do with them.
Wu Wulang could only take Lao Liu and Datou Ertou to take a quick bath, and when a group of people finally washed up and ran over to sit down, Lao Zhoutou picked up his chopsticks and signaled for dinner with a stern face.
The dishes tonight are very rich. There are not only two bowls of small fish, but also a large bowl of stewed fish with tofu and two plates of fried fish, which are fried big fish.
and three vegetables.
Although there are many dishes, Lao Zhou's family also has a lot. No matter how many meals are on the table, they can always eat them all.
Tonight's dishes are not only hearty, but also made by Xiaoqian, which makes it even more delicious.
In the end, everyone ate to their heart's content, and it was rare that even the adults felt full. After all, the food was not difficult to let go, and everyone only ate seven or eight percent full for dinner.
Although he was struggling, old Zhoutou liked this feeling very much. He put down the bowl and said, "Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, fourth brother, go to the market tomorrow and buy two catties of meat and come back."
Then look at the old wife.
Qian raised her eyelids and glanced at him, nodded slightly and said, "Let's cook tomorrow's meal."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was satisfied, Zhou Xi smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, I will feed the chicken tomorrow."
Feng Shi also said: "I'll clean up the yard, sister-in-law, call me when you're cooking, and I'll light the fire for you."
Mrs. He and Mrs. Fang also expressed that they would do other housework well, and Mrs. Qian only needs to be in charge of cooking.
The festival in the village is to eat a delicious meal, and then let the children worship the moon goddess in the yard at night.
I heard that the county town is the busiest place, especially at night, "...that kind of rich county, when Mid-Autumn Festival comes, all the lanterns are hung up, and there are word riddles written on the lanterns for people to guess, and there are people playing monkeys and fire on the street. It was fun."
Zhou Zhoulang asked suspiciously: "Isn't that Yuanxiao?"
"The same is true for the Lantern Festival, but the same is true for the Mid-Autumn Festival." Man Bao said: "This is what the second sister Fu said. She went to Mianzhou to participate in the Lantern Festival last year, but this year her father may be promoted, so don't let them go out indiscriminately. I can't go."
Not only Zhou Zhoulang, but also the Fang family listened with great interest, and couldn't help asking: "Mianzhou has it, so doesn't our county have it?"
"Yes, there are, but it is not as lively as Mianzhou. I heard that there are not many lights, but the shops on the street will also hang out."
Fang said longingly: "It would be great if I could go and have a look."
Zhou Zhoulang had never spent the night in the county town, let alone participated in such a lively event, so he felt a little anxious for a while.
When he moved, he couldn't even sit on the stool, his buttocks were shaking back and forth, but when he turned his head and saw his parents sitting on the other side talking, he let out his anger and lowered his head regretfully.
Seeing this, Fang whispered: "There will always be a chance to go to the county town to see."
Only now did Zhou Zhou Lang regain his energy. Seeing that Man Bao was still happily talking with the fifth child, he interrupted and said, "Man Bao, do you want to go to the county town to watch the Lantern Festival?"
Man Bao asked, "Is there anything delicious?"
Zhou Zhoulang: "... there should be."
Man Bao thought for a while and said, "Lantern festivals are held at night. If we go to the lantern festival, where will we live at night?"
Man Bao is very economical now, except for food, he doesn't want to spend too much on any extra expenses, so he said: "It would be great if the food that will be sold at the lantern festival at night can also be sold during the day."
Wu Wulang was also only interested in eating, and said excitedly: "Why don't we go to the county seat tomorrow, Yaomei, aren't you on vacation?"
When Datou and others heard this, they immediately looked at Auntie eagerly.
Zhou Zhoulang: ... It seems that he will be assigned a task tomorrow.
Zhou Zhoulang was ready to move, and whispered: "Yaomei, Yaomei, go and tell Dad that we will go to the county town to buy meat tomorrow."
Wu Wulang and Saturday Lang isolated him together, "We are all unmarried, and we don't play with those who have wives."
Zhou Zhou Lang was angry, "You will get married in two years."
Wu Wulang said bluntly: "We won't play with those who have children at that time."
"That's right, that's right," Saturday Lang said, "Look, big brother, second brother and third brother don't play with us, you are in their group now."
Zhou Zhoulang looked back, only to find that the eldest brother, second brother and third brother were sitting not far from their parents with stools, and the eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law and third sister-in-law were also there, and a group of people were talking about planting winter wheat there.
When he lowered his head again, he and Fang Shi were sitting among a group of children, from him to Zhou Lang, and down to the four ends.
Thursday Lang: ...
The adults at the side noticed that their side was quiet, Zhou Dalang glanced back, and said casually: "Fourth, take care of the children and don't bully Man Bao.":
Thursday Lang: ...
Fang obviously realized this too, and couldn't help but burst out laughing, hugging her stomach and almost falling from laughter.
Zhou Zhoulang hurriedly opened his hands to protect her like a hen guarding its cubs, and said nervously: "Be careful, don't complain of stomachache again in a while."
Wu Wulang and Saturday Lang turned their heads away in disgust, and continued to do Man Bao's ideological work.
Man Bao thought for a while, Mr. Mid-Autumn Festival had a three-day vacation. Although there was a lot of homework, there was still plenty of time. The most important thing was that Dr. D was banned for three days, and the business could not continue for a while, so he nodded and agreed.
She also wanted to go to the city to see Fu Erjie.
Man Bao ran to talk to his mother.
Qian Shi never stopped Man Bao from entering the city, as long as she wanted to enter, Qian Shi would basically agree, so she glanced at Zhou Zhoulang and others behind her, touched her head with a smile and said: "Go, Just listen to your fifth brother and sixth brother, don't run around."
Zhou Zhoulang immediately went up to him and said, "Mom, I'm going too, I'll take care of Manbao."
"Just take good care of your wife, Man Bao has the five and six with you," Qian turned her head and said to Zhou Dalang and the others: "Tomorrow, I will clean up the house, and you all will take your children to the city to play, all year round. , it’s just two easy times.”
Even a man as calm as Zhou Dalang and as honest as Zhou Zhou couldn't help but look happy.
Lao Zhou waited for the children to leave, and then turned to ask Qian, "Do you want to go to the city to see?"
Qian gave him a sideways glance and said, "What am I going to do in the city? You have to go by yourself."
Old Zhou Tou knocked on his pipe in disappointment, and muttered, "Why am I going, I'm not going."
