Man Bao was sent home crying by a maid of the Bai family. In order to coax her, Mrs. Liu gave her a lot of cakes, but after taking the cakes, Man Bao insisted on not forgiving Bai Shanbao and decided not to make friends with him. .
Zhou family: ...
After they heard how Man Bao quarreled and fought with the young master of the Bai family, they ignored it. Isn't it normal for such children to quarrel and fight
Even Mrs. Qian didn't comfort her much, and only asked her to wash and sleep.
Man Bao was quickly distracted, and when he woke up, he forgot everything.
When she woke up, Tuesday Lang had already taken Friday Lang to Daji. Today was not a market, but there would be a meat stall in Dali Village. If you want to buy meat, you must either go to the county town or go to Dali Village.
Man Bao had nothing to do, so she spent points in the mall to buy the piece of ginger she was looking at the day before, and then took out two pieces. She decided to try to see if she could work, and left the rest for spring.
Of course, Man Bao couldn't do it alone, so she found Da Ya and Er Ya.
The two sisters didn't know that ginger was more expensive than meat. When they heard that their sister-in-law said that she was going to grow vegetables in the vegetable garden, which were new vegetables, they took her with her, little hoe.
Man Bao kept muttering, "I want fertile land, fertile land..."
Da Ya pointed to a tunnel and said, "Plan it here, the soil here is relatively thick, so it must be fertile."
Then Man Bao took out the ginger pieces to them, and pointed with his little finger: "Cut a piece, cut it here, cut it here, and then it will germinate, and you can plant many pieces."
Da Ya asked, "Can I grow a living in such a cold day?"
Man Bao scratched his face and said, "Who knows, just give it a try."
Keke felt a little helpless, and pointed out: "You can spread straw on it to keep out the cold."
Man Bao was surprised, "Can the straw keep out the cold?"
"Of course, some people still use straw to make their beds. Who will keep out the cold on it?"
Man Bao was thoughtful, "The leaves can also keep out the cold? So can grass, and so can reeds... Ah, there are so many things we can use."
Man Bao and Da Ya Er Ya dug a hole and planted the ginger pieces, then poured a little water, and ran home together to touch a handful of straw and spread them densely on the ground to keep them out of the cold.
In order to make them cover the straw quilt tightly, Man Bao stepped on the straw hard.
When Daya and Erya saw it, they thought it was the planting characteristics of ginger, so they also stepped on it twice.
Keke, who witnessed the whole process: ... Forget it, anyway, it won't germinate if it is buried now, so let's wait until spring to remind the host to loosen the soil.
Man Bao had finished planting Jiang Kuai and the second brother hadn't come back yet, while Zhou Dalang and Zhou Zhoulang had already gone to Bai's house to start work. She had nothing to do when she was free, so she touched her book and went to school to study.
As for why you have to come to the school to study, it is of course because of habit, anyway, the teacher does not close the door, the door of the classroom is open, she can just go in and study.
As a result, when he ran outside the classroom, he heard the sound of reading inside. Man Bao ran in curiously, and saw Bai Shanbao sitting on his seat reading.
When he looked up and saw Man Bao, he curled his lips and said, "You are so lazy, I have already read three texts."
"You're lazy," Man Bao said, "I planted a lot of ginger in the morning, a lot of ginger."
Man Bao ran over to sit down, and Bai Shanbao pushed a paper bag to her, "Here, the sweet-scented osmanthus cake you want to eat."
Man Bao swallowed, opened it, it was fragrant and sweet, it was her favorite sweet-scented osmanthus cake, she took a bite and found that the cake was still warm, she was even happier, so she took out a handful of candy and gave it to him , "Well, there are red ones and yellow ones, don't tell others."
Bai Shanbao also became happy, hid the candy in his pocket, and nodded fiercely.
The two children reconciled as before.
Man Bao said: "I still have to go today, how about you?"
Bai Shanbao said: "I'll go too! My mother also prepared a food box for me. There are a lot of delicious things in it, but I'm afraid of the cold, but I told her that we have a fire, so I'm not afraid of the cold."
Man Bao nodded, "My second brother and the others can still cook today. When your food gets cold, I'll ask my second brother to heat it up for you."
Bai Shanbao expressed his gratitude.
The Bai family still sent Daji and a donkey cart to follow them, but Zhou Zhoulang still went to borrow a cart, and the children would ride in a donkey cart, but they couldn't put all their things on it, after all, it was their own business, wasn't it
Bai Erlang didn't want to go, but was forced by his father to climb into the donkey cart crying, causing Bai Shanbao and Man Bao to despise him unanimously.
I'm not ashamed to cry at such an age.
Mrs. Bai didn't understand this very much. She felt sorry for her son, so she couldn't help telling her mother-in-law that she wanted her mother-in-law to intercede for her son.
As a result, as soon as Old Madam Bai opened her mouth, Master Bai said: "Mother, I am doing this for the sake of the child. Instead of staying at home to fight cats and dogs, it is better to go out and see."
"Watching a group of laborers work, what experience do you have?" The old lady Bai said: "Didn't you hear what Erlang said, the Zhou family went to earn money, so what are they going to do? The two children are only so old. What article?"
Master Bai said: "Mother, the knowledge here is great, you haven't seen the booklet they wrote down, otherwise Auntie loves her children more than you do, why did she let Shanbao go?"
The old lady Bai didn't speak.
Master Bai said: "It's a pity that this kid is disobedient. Except for a few pages in his handwriting, the notes in the two volumes are all written by Shanbao. It shows how lazy he is."
The old lady Bai didn't dare to speak anymore, for fear that if she failed to intercede, she would make her son even more angry with his grandson.
Zhou Yilang and the others soon arrived at the official road. Today Lao Ding and his men are digging and repairing water conservancy, mainly digging ditches that can be irrigated, which is more difficult than building roads.
Zhou Zhoulang took a look at Zhou Zhoulang, and then bowed to say hello to the two servants under the introduction of Zhou Wulang.
You don't need to ask questions today, you will have a lot of free time.
Man Bao just went around collecting firewood like she was having fun. She dragged the firewood together, and then asked the sixth brother to come and get it.
Zhou Wulang has already come to do it once, and he knows how to do it quickly. When the second brother was at the stove, he directly carried the bucket to fetch water.
Yes, yesterday they brought only one wooden barrel, but today they brought a pair.
He picked up water, put the chopped bones into the cauldron, poured water and started a fire.
There is enough time for other tasks, but the bone soup needs to be boiled for a long time to taste better.
Man Bao and Bai Shanbao rushed over dragging a big tree branch, then dropped it and ran up to join in the fun, "Second brother, what are you going to cook?"
"Pork stewed cabbage, pork stewed radish, five cents a spoonful."
As for whether anyone will buy it, it's not certain, but it doesn't matter if no one buys it. He doesn't prepare too much. He plans to save some for the third child when the time comes, and take the rest home for the family to eat.
