"How old are you? My mother is older than you. She already knows several words." Man Bao felt that the reason why the eldest sister was bullied by her husband's family was because she was not smart enough, so the eldest sister had to become smarter.
Unfortunately, she may be born with a low IQ, so she can only improve her IQ through study.
Zhou Xi didn't know that Manbao classified her as an "idiot", so she nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, Manbao, tell me, do you want to sleep with eldest sister at night? My eldest sister's place is spacious."
"No," Man Bao flatly refused: "I want to sleep in my own crib. I am already an adult."
She doesn't want to sleep with anyone else. She doesn't even sleep with her parents.
Zhou Xi felt a little regretful, but he didn't force it. He sent the person back to the main room and left.
The sky has completely darkened, each room has been freshened up and ready for bed, and Manbao's biological clock has also arrived. She yawned, walked straight into the room, said hello to her parents who were sitting by the bed talking, and walked around.
He walked through the bamboo screen into his cubicle, kicked off his shoes, climbed into bed and fell asleep.
Lao Zhoutou followed him in and saw her lying on the quilt and fast asleep. He couldn't help but shook his head, turned her over in the dark under the moonlight, and covered her with the quilt.
Manbao turned over and vaguely heard someone say, "Asleep, this child still sleeps so well. He falls asleep as soon as he touches the pillow."
Qian chuckled lightly, "I've been busy all day like a top, spinning around here and there. When I'm tired, I naturally sleep soundly. This is the same as him. When he was a child, he would fall asleep as soon as he touched the pillow.
With."
Manbao yawned again in a daze, turned over and thought vaguely, who is he and why should she be like him?
The next day, before dawn, Zhou Dalang woke up Zhou Lang and others and went to the fields to help them dig ginger.
Zhou Xi also got up. Zhou Dalang paused and said, "It's cold. Let's sleep a little longer. We brothers can go dig."
Zhou Xi shook his head, "I can't sleep either. Let's go with you. And I'm also going to the county seat today."
Zhou Dalang frowned, "Just leave the ginger selling business to Shiro and the others. Why do you have to do it yourself?"
Zhou Lang yawned and said: "Brother, please let the elder sister go, so that our ginger can be sold better, and Manbao has asked the elder sister to go out to see the world, and maybe he can find us a brother-in-law."
Woolen cloth."
Zhou Dalang beat him and said, "You are talking nonsense without holding back your words. Why are you looking for your brother-in-law?"
"There's nothing we can't say about this. Didn't my mother find a matchmaker to propose marriage to the eldest sister? I think it's better to let the eldest sister go find it on her own. It would be more considerate." Zhou Lang also asked Zhou Xi, "Yes.
Right, eldest sister?"
Zhou Xi rolled her eyes at him and said, "Shut up, or your big brother will beat you up."
Zhou Lang curled his lips, it was obviously the truth, but no one acknowledged it. He wanted to find it himself, but depending on what his mother meant, it was impossible, alas~~
Because ginger likes loose soil, Zhou Lang often brought his two younger brothers to loosen the soil. Ginger was easy to dig, and they had many brothers. Each of them dug a clump, and soon the three baskets were filled.
Zhou Lang looked at Zhou Lang and asked: "Lao Liu, aren't you going?"
Saturday Lang is still young, and he is not very awake now. Hearing this, he shook his head and said, "I won't go. Yaomei didn't let me go."
He was exhausted from the autumn harvest in the past two months. Liu Lang's passion for making money has dropped a lot now. He just wants to sleep. Anyway, he can still make money while lying at home.
Thinking like this, Zhou Zuolang yawned again, looked around and said: "Second brother, it's time to dig. Let's go home after digging. I still want to take a nap."
Zhou Dalang and others turned around and said, "Let's go."
Back home, only Xiao Qian and her two sisters-in-law got up. The others were still sleeping, especially Man Bao, who slept soundly with his arms stretched out. She knew that the voices coming from outside were getting louder and louder.
I just turned over, rested on the bed for a while, then got up and leaned on the window to look out. I saw Zhou Lang and the others carrying the baskets on their backs and about to set off.
She knew it was still early, so she retreated into the quilt and lay down.
Manbao thought she couldn't fall asleep, but she fell asleep again in a daze. It wasn't until Xiao Qianshi dug her out of bed that she realized it was almost time to go to school.
Manbao yawned and asked, "Sister-in-law, can I not drink egg water today and eat boiled eggs instead?"
"No, boiled eggs don't have the nutrients of egg water."
But the egg water didn't taste good. Manbao sighed like a grown-up and asked her sister-in-law to help her put on her coat, then climbed out of bed and put on her shoes.
Manbao went to school after breakfast, and ran outside as soon as she finished school, because there were many people gathered by the river. Unfortunately, her family did not allow her to go near the river, so she could only stand and watch from a distance, and asked curiously,
"What are they doing?"
Bai Shanbao was not afraid and ran directly past her to the river. After a while, he ran up excitedly and said: "It's fishing, they are catching fish!"
Man Bao let out a "wow" sound and ran two steps after him, but he remembered Xiao Qian's instructions and could only stand on tiptoes to watch.
Bai Shanbao dragged her forward and shouted, "What are you afraid of? The adults are not here."
Then he dragged her to the river and watched happily.
Man Bao thought he was right. He squeezed in the crowd of children and looked down hard, and then he met Zhou Lang's eyes at a glance.
Man Bao subconsciously shrank behind Bai Shanbao. Zhou Erlang was already shouting in the water: "Man Bao, don't go near the river, do you hear me?"
The villagers on the bank have turned back and waved to the children: "Go, go, don't play by the river. What if you fall?"
The children ran to the side shouting, but ran back after a while, laughing and joking with joy.
The adults on the shore no longer chased them away. They were here anyway and it was enough not to let them get too close to the river.
Man Bao soon saw Da Tou and the others, who were carrying barrels from home, with excited faces on their faces.
Manbao pulled Bai Shanbao forward and asked curiously, "Why are you catching fish?"
Datou was very happy and said: "Dad said that the dam above was broken and many fish swam down, so I have to catch fish."
Manbao said "Wow" and said happily: "Can we have fish soup tonight?"
Datou nodded excitedly.
Bai Shanbao also swallowed his saliva and asked, "Can I get one too?"
"Okay," Datou was a little unsure, "it will be divided among the whole village. After a while, everyone will take turns going to the river to catch fish."
"But no one comes to my house."
Man Bao said: "Let the good luck come."
Bai Shanbao thought her proposal was good, so he turned around and went to find Daji for help.
Mr. Zhuang, who was standing on the bank of the river, looked a little unhappy. He walked up to a villager and asked, "Is the dam upstream broken?"
"Mr. Zhuang," the villagers hurriedly saluted and said with a naive smile: "Yes, I heard that it was broken in the early morning yesterday. Several villages in front went to the river to fish in the morning and caught a lot of fish."
