Man Bao nodded, of course it is great, there are many good things in Keke's mall, but there are many that she is reluctant to buy.
"But what do you want to give Bai Er?" Man Bao said: "The gift should be given to the other party who likes it?"
After thinking for a while, Bai Shanbao whispered: "He wants to have a sword!"
Man Bao said without thinking, "It's too expensive, we can't afford it."
Bai Shanbao also thought so, nodded, "But what if the sword is made of wood?"
The two looked at each other, and Man Bao immediately said: "Then make it with wood."
"I can not do that."
"The carpenter will definitely know how, or let my second brother do it."
"Then what kind of sword do you think we want to make?" Bai Shanbao said: "The book says that a sword with two blades and a straight head can hurt people horizontally and vertically, and can penetrate armor when stabbed. It is extremely dangerous and born to kill. I I drew it, and you see."
Man Bao just glanced at it and said, "Like those three scoundrels took it."
Bai Shanbao nodded, "I drew wider, I think it looks better this way."
"It's a bit crooked, do you want to engrave something on it," Man Bao suggested, "like the number one sword in the world."
"You really have to find a carpenter for this."
The carpenter who lived in the Bai family and made plow tools for the Bai family did not expect that he would soon go home for the New Year, and he took such an order temporarily.
The wooden sword is very simple, even if it is cut to look better, it doesn't take much effort. As for the engraving, as long as two small customers can write it, they can engrave it.
The old carpenter cut out a wooden sword in less than half a day by himself, polished it again, and then carved characters on it.
Bai Erlang was stunned when he received the gifts from the two the next day.
Bai Shanbao handed him the wooden sword and said, "We gave it to you together, but it cost a lot of money."
Bai Erlang took it, and was very moved. He always wanted a sword, but it was impossible. At most, he picked up a stick on the road as a swordsman.
The two said: "You are our junior, we are older than you, we will definitely take care of you."
Bai Erlang was so conflicted, he was both happy and unhappy, but Man Bao waved his hand grandly and said, "Okay, Senior Sister will take care of you in the future. Let's go to the field to have a look now."
"What's interesting in the field?" Bai Erlang couldn't help muttering.
Now there is really nothing to see in the field. The fruit tree pits on the mountain have been dug, and the fields have basically been plowed. The three long-term workers have lived in the yellow mud house, and the chicken sheds and cow sheds that should be prepared have also been set up. , now just waiting for spring to come.
Now the three long-term workers handle the manure piles in the field in addition to grazing cattle every day, so as to ensure that the manure piles can be used during spring plowing.
Man Bao and the others occasionally go to have a look when they go out to play.
As for spring plowing, no one dared to be negligent. Even if Man Bao and Bai Shanbao independently arranged a Zhuangzi's affairs for the first time, they knew that spring plowing was the most important thing at the beginning of the year.
Bai Erlang naturally listened to them.
Mr. Zhuang thoughtfully arranged their classes in the evening, and they had holidays during the busy spring season, and even let them go to the field to participate in the labor in person.
And he only occupied half an hour and an hour after dinner.
In the morning they are asked to write, and in the evening they are asked to sit and listen to lectures.
Man Bao and Bai Shanbao got used to it after being drowsy for two days, but Bai Erlang felt that he was even sleepier during class.
But now it is no different from teaching in the classroom before, and now there are only three students in total.
The three of them sat in front of the teacher, and he took a picture of Mr. Zhuang's book as soon as he squinted his eyes, and then Bai Erlang had to stand and listen to the class.
Man Bao and Bai Shanbao covered their mouths and smiled. After the teacher finished his lecture, they got up and bowed together to leave.
After leaving the small courtyard, it was already dark, Zhou Wulang yawned and stood up from a rock, and waved to Manbao, "Let's go, go home."
The servants of Daji and Bai's family also went up to lead their young master home.
It was not very late at this time, and some people who worked later had just washed their hands, so all the way home, they could always hear various sounds from various houses.
Wu Wulang came here at the right time, and only waited for about half a quarter of an hour, but he was still very sleepy, mainly because the spring plowing started these two days, and he was very tired.
He couldn't help but thumped his back, and said: "Mr. Zhuang is stricter than before. You used to go on vacation when the spring was busy, but now you have to come to class in the morning and evening."
Man Bao didn't speak, and Wu Wulang didn't care. He yawned again, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and asked in distress, "How many acres of wheat have you planted?"
"Grandma Liu has only hired eight temporary workers for the time being, so now she has only planted fifteen acres."
"Not bad, faster than our house."
Man Bao said: "The main reason is that we have three cows."
"It's true that one cow is worth two strong laborers, but then again, if you calculate it this way, your speed will be a bit slower. Is it because someone is being lazy."
"It's okay," Man Bao followed suit these two days. Of course, she can't do anything else, just throw wheat seeds into the fertilized field. "Bai Zhuangtou didn't say they were lazy."
"I'll help you when the land at home is finished." Wu Wulang thought for a while and said, "You don't need to pay."
Man Bao raised his head and cheered at him, saying: "Maybe our speed is faster, fifth brother, it is really much more convenient to have a cow, why don't we buy a cow for our family too."
Zhou Wulang regained his energy and immediately stopped dozing off. He asked excitedly, "Man Bao, are you rich?"
Man Bao shook his head regretfully, "No, I asked Grandma Liu, a steer costs more than 4,000 yuan, at least 4,200 Wen, and a second-class steer costs more than 3,000 Wen."
Zhou Wulang couldn't help sighing, "I can marry a daughter-in-law."
Man Bao nodded approvingly.
Wu Wulang was not interested, "Since you have no money, what's the use of talking about it now?"
"I don't have any money, but Dad does. The ginger and yams sold last autumn and winter, the third brother and the fourth brother handed in a lot of money."
Zhou Wulang shook his head, "Father won't pay until the summer harvest. If there is no problem with the wheat this year, if you hang around, maybe Dad will be willing to pay."
Man Bao slumped his shoulders.
When she got home, there was the sound of a baby crying from Zhou Zhoulang's room. Man Bao asked Zhou Wulang to go back to the house first, and she ran up to join in the fun, and saw He was wandering around the room with a child in his arms, "Sister-in-law San, What happened to five?"
He blushed slightly, and said, "He's hungry."
Man Bao understood that He's milk was not enough.
The five were born in the first lunar month, not long after the new year, but for some reason, He's milk was not enough, and he often screamed with hunger.
He said: "Your third brother has gone to steam the eggs."
Man Bao said: "Why don't we also buy a sheep?"
He smiled and said: "No, he can eat some porridge when he grows up."
