Qian was stunned, and it took him a long time to find his voice, "You, you... are too bold, what if Master Bai doesn't buy wheat seeds from you, or doesn't buy so much?"
Man Bao said: "Sell it at the market price of grain."
"Will it be a loss?"
"It's going to be a little bit of a loss, but Shanbao and I have calculated it, and it can be afforded," Man Bao reassured her, "Mother, don't worry."
Looking at the confident Man Bao, Qian blocked her words to dissuade her. She stretched out her hand and touched her fair and smooth cheeks, and seemed to see that dark, mischievous but filial and sensible boy back then. That's what he told her too, saying that he would be able to find food for his life when he went out, and even if he couldn't find it, he could live on...
Man Bao felt that his mother's appearance was a bit strange, so he couldn't help reaching out to hug her arm, and asked, "Mother, what's wrong with you?"
Qian returned to her senses and smiled at Man Bao, "It's okay, since you have discussed it, let's do it."
Man Bao was very happy, "Mom, I knew you would be on my side."
Mrs. Qian nodded her forehead, "You are clever, but you have to keep this matter a secret, don't let your father know, and don't let Master Bai notice."
"Mother, don't worry, we've discussed everything, and now Bai Er is living in Shanbao's house."
Mrs. Qian smiled slightly, Master Bai is not a fool, he must know that they are going to play tricks behind the scenes, I am afraid he just wants to see how the children are going to play.
However, Qian felt that Master Bai must not be able to guess it, because even after she had heard it once, she still found it inconceivable.
The three children are not only surprisingly courageous, but also have such big ideas that they can come up with such a method.
Qian went back to the house full of worries, and the old Zhou Tou, who had nothing to worry about, had long since fallen asleep. The next day, he went out to visit under Man Bao's earnest advice.
Man Bao, on the other hand, carried his small bookcase on his back and went to class with the chips he bought.
Old Zhou was holding a cigarette stick and wandering on the country road with his hands behind his back. The first thing he went to was Zhou Daliang's house, which had a good relationship with his family.
Da Liang's father is younger than Lao Zhou's, and he used to hang out behind Lao Zhou's ass. These two families have helped each other over the years, and their relationship has grown closer.
He walked to the courtyard wall of Zhou Daliang's house, looked inside, and saw that Daliang's father was scolding Zhou Daliang, while Zhou Daliang was sitting in the courtyard with his head down, rubbing wheat.
He opened the door and went in, glanced at the wheat drying in the yard and asked, "Why haven't you finished rubbing the ears of wheat yet?"
"Uncle Jin is here, sit down, sit down quickly." Da Liang's father asked Zhou Daliang to move the chair, and couldn't help complaining: "The children sleep until the sun is three poles every day, and when the sun gets hotter, they don't like it, and they always call their hands. It hurts, how can rubbing wheat not hurt your hands?"
Zhou Daliang moved the chair out and asked, "Uncle, have you finished rubbing the wheat?"
Old Zhou Tou put shredded tobacco in the tobacco rod, and said, "It's over early, and it can be put into the warehouse after two days of drying."
In the entire Qili Village, Manbao’s small farm is the fastest. First, they hire a lot of people. Second, they don’t have much land. Drying and threshing are all done by hired workers.
The later long-term workers only need to turn them in the sun. The sun was good some time ago, so they were put into storage soon.
The old Zhoutou's family is slower, but they are also the fastest in the village. They are still harvesting wheat in the field. Their family has already harvested all the wheat in the field and transported it home, and they have begun to plow the field and plant rice seedlings.
By the time the family was finally able to plow the fields and transplant rice seedlings, they had already planted rice seedlings in the twenty acres of wheat fields, and even threshed all the wheat...
So at the beginning, take a slow step, and then it will only get slower and slower.
However, Zhou Daliang and his son firmly believe that the reason why their old Zhou family has been so efficient is because they have a large family.
Especially when there are many children.
When the adults are transporting wheat to their homes, the children are drying the ears of wheat at home, stepping on them and taking pictures...
When the men go to plow the fields, the women rub and thresh the wheat grains at home, can this speed not be fast
Da Liang's father sighed again, looking at Zhou Daliang and sighing, their family is quite small, and his son is still lazy.
He used to hang out with Zhou Zhoulang and was lazy together, but Zhou Zhoulang is a little more diligent now, and his son is still so lazy.
Da Liang's father was worried, he didn't want to see his son when he was worried, so he adjusted the direction of the stool, turned his back to his son, and asked while rubbing the wheat, "Uncle Jin wants to see me?"
Old Zhou gave him a disgusted look, and pointed out: "You can't sit while rubbing wheat, you have to stand, wrap your head and face with a piece of cloth, if you feel pain in your hands, wrap your hands too, and then stand and rub hard , you can finish rubbing in half the morning, how long can you sit and rub?"
After finishing speaking, he said: "It's okay. Isn't this the wheat seed that you all took from my family last year? The Bai family thinks our wheat seed is good, and wants to exchange it for ours to make seeds. I want to ask you Happy or not."
"One catty for one catty?"
"Nonsense, if you don't exchange a catty for a catty, you can still exchange a catty and a half for a catty."
"It's not impossible," Dad Liang thought for a while and said, "But their wheat must be as good as ours. Uncle Jin, don't tell me, your wheat is really good. Don't say how long the ears are, but the grains are still good." It’s full, I guess my family’s wheat harvest this year is at least a few bags more than the previous year’s.”
While they were talking, a few neighbors heard voices and looked over. Old Zhou Tou saw it and simply waved to them, "Come, come, let's talk."
The passers-by and the neighbors in the neighborhood thought about it. Now there is nothing special at home except for rubbing and drying wheat, so they simply leave the family affairs to the mother-in-law and children, and carry their hands behind their backs. walked over.
When Da Liangniang came out of the kitchen, the yard was full of people, and she had no choice but to move stools for them.
Everyone sat in the yard, and it was not good to just talk with empty hands, so they simply rubbed the wheat from Zhou Daliang's house while talking.
"Why is Uncle Jin free to walk around today?"
"When will he be free? There are six sons outside, rich aunts and a bunch of daughters-in-law inside. Uncle Jin is enjoying the blessing now."
"Enjoy happiness?" Old Zhou Tou snorted, "Then you marry the daughter-in-law of my fifth and sixth son."
"Hey, by the way, the fifth child should marry a wife, right?"
Old Zhou thought for a while, and felt that the boy was not in a hurry, but he could just look around, so he said: "It is possible to say kiss, who knows which family has a good girl, tell my family, and let the two The children look at each other."
"I think the fifth one will have a great future in the future. He is much better than the fourth one. He works neatly and is a spirited person."
Old Zhou nodded in satisfaction, "That's right, I also think that the fifth child is better than the fourth child, so the girl you're talking about can't be worse than the Fang family's."
