Bai Shanbao reluctantly agreed, "Okay, then let's figure out how much we need to exchange these wheat seeds."
Man Bao asked weakly, "Since I'm buying wheat from your family, can I pay on credit first? I think some people in the county will charge it to the account first when they go to restaurants to eat, and they will not pay until the end of the month."
Bai Shanbao's eyes lit up, "Why didn't I think of this? I'll talk to grandma when I get back."
The three of them went through the matter again, and after confirming all the arguments, they went to open the door and open the window.
They were not in a hurry to call Master Bai. After thinking about it for a while, the three of them realized that they were hungry again, so they sat down and continued to eat with leftovers.
It was only when Master Bai couldn't bear to ask that he realized that they were eating and drinking with the doors and windows wide open.
If it wasn't for the three children, if it wasn't for the way they closed the doors and windows to discuss things secretly, he would almost have thought they were doing it on purpose.
Master Bai sighed, got up resignedly and went to the study to look for the three children. When they arrived, the three of them had just eaten up the food on the table and were resting on the chairs while rubbing their bellies.
Master Bai couldn't help but touched his son's belly, and asked: "Eat so much, go out to digest food later, be careful that you won't be able to sleep at night."
Man Bao glanced outside subconsciously, only to realize that the sky was getting dark, she said "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...
Master Bai smiled and said: "No hurry, I'll send you back in a while, after all, how did your discussion go?"
The three children looked at each other, and then immediately moved away with guilt. Bai Shanbao spoke on behalf of everyone, "Uncle, we think we have to seriously consider it for a few days, after all, this is our first big business."
Man Bao and Bai Erlang nodded repeatedly.
Master Bai was a little uncertain about what they meant, and asked, "How many days is a few days?"
Bai Shanbao thought for a while and said, "About a day or two, maybe three or four days..."
Master Bai: ...
Feeling guilty, Bai Shanbao lowered his head and whispered: "I have to ask grandma what she means."
Man Bao was also guilty, and didn't look at Master Bai, looking left and right and said: "I also have to ask my parents."
Bai Erlang looked around and said with a guilty conscience: "I, I have to ask my mother."
Master Bai: "... Come on, come on, what do you want to ask your mother, why don't you ask your father and me first?"
Man Bao stepped on Bai Erlang's left foot, Bai Erlang said "ah", and then Bai Shanbao stepped on his right foot.
Bai Erlang cried immediately, he rushed forward, hugged his father's hand across a table, and said tearfully: "Father, I've made up my mind, I want to study hard, so you let me go to He Shanbao Stay."
Master Bai: ... He's sure, the three children stayed in the study and discussed something serious, and even kept it from the adults
but
Master Bai thought of Daji who had always followed behind Bai Shanbao and never interfered with his behavior, so he suppressed his boundless curiosity, reluctantly nodded and agreed, "OK."
He wanted to see what the third child was going to do.
Later, Master Bai, who was bleeding profusely, regretted the decision he made tonight.
After the exchange between the two parties was completed and the rules for further discussion were settled, Master Bai waved his hand and called three servants to send the three children away.
One took Man Bao back to the old Zhou's house, the other sent Bai Shanbao to the white house next door, and the other took Bai Erlang to pack his things, and sent him to the next door tonight to be with Bai Shanbao.
Well, the Bai family became quiet all of a sudden. It's really... not used to but beautiful!
As soon as Man Bao returned to Lao Zhou's house, he went straight to his father's room. Lao Zhou was about to lie down. When he saw his daughter rushing in, he was stunned, "No way, the Bai family didn't give you enough to eat?"
He thought his daughter was here to ask him for food.
Man Bao said: "Father, I'm full. I have something very important to tell you."
Old Zhou Tou also sat on the edge of the bed seriously, and said seriously: "What do you mean?"
"Father, do you think it's okay to exchange my wheat with the people in the village for the winter wheat they harvested this year?"
"Ah?" Old Zhou asked, "What are you doing in exchange for something?"
"Make seeds."
"No, how much wheat and seeds do you want to plant?"
"It's not mine, it's for others, so you just say it's okay?"
"Okay, why not, as long as the wheat is not short of catties, it is also new wheat, and the grains are plump." Old Zhou Tou yawned, leaned on the bed relaxedly and said, "I thought it was a big deal, All right, how many catties do you want to exchange, I will tell them later, by the way, don’t we have quite a lot, just exchange ours.”
Man Bao thought for a while, and felt that he couldn't cheat his family, so he said, "Father, I won't change the ones at home. I will change all the winter wheat planted in the village as long as they exchanged seeds with our family last year, so that they can keep enough for their own. Just the seeds, I want the rest."
Old Zhou blinked and asked, "Who wants so many seeds, Man Bao, don't be fooled."
Man Bao thought for a while and said, "Master Bai should be one, and there may be many other masters."
Old Zhou was relieved when he heard it, "It turned out that Master Bai wanted it, I thought he was looking for something from you, that's all right, I know about it, just let him prepare the wheat, one catty for one catty, It’s not good to be short of weight.”
Man Bao cheered up, "Dad, don't worry, you won't be short of catties. By the way, Dad, Mr. Bai may still ask you about farming, so don't talk to him about exchanging wheat."
Old Zhou felt something was wrong, "Didn't Master Bai ask you to change it?"
"No," Man Bao thought for a while and said, "It was the three of us who decided to change it, but in the end, Master Bai will use it to grow it," right
Old Zhou Tou thought he understood, "Is it the surprise that the Second Young Master of his family wants to give them? You guys really surprise adults every now and then, don't you know that adults don't have to scare you?"
Obviously, he is still brooding over the surprise that Manbao Niu came back on credit.
But he didn't object any more, he yawned and lay down on the bed to sleep.
Mrs. Qian glanced at her daughter, got up and said, "Go, mother will take you back."
A matter of concern was completed, Man Bao happily took his mother's hand and went out.
At this time, it was completely dark outside, and the brothers and sisters-in-law in the yard were still enjoying the shade, or whispering, and the mother and daughter went back to the small yard holding hands.
After entering Man Bao's house, Qian Shi straightened her hair and asked, "What are you doing to change so many wheat seeds? Are you really changing them for Master Bai?"
There are some things that Man Bao won't say to his father, because he knows that his father will definitely object, but he won't say it to his mother.
With a sly smile, Man Bao whispered in her ear and told Qian Shi all their plans.
