Manbao started wandering around the village and found that she was not very familiar with the children of the same age in the village. She ran towards them and they ran away when they saw her from a distance.
After Man Bao left for a while, he became bored. He simply ran home to pack his small book box and said to Qian, "Mom, I'm going to school."
Qian nodded, "Go, go, are you tired today?"
She asked for an extra day off because she was worried that her little girl would go crazy and be too tired. If she wanted to go, she would naturally support it.
Man Bao shook his head, "I'm not tired at all."
"Then go ahead."
Man Bao ran to the school with a small bookcase on his back and slipped in through the back door of the school. The teacher standing on the podium saw it but didn't notice it, but was speechless at the young disciple's attempt to conceal it.
You are sitting in the front row, why should you enter through the back door?
As soon as Man Bao entered the door, he took two steps forward and realized that it was impossible to exit after the door was already entered.
She blushed and walked forward through the tables of classmates with her bookcase on her back.
Everyone looked at her in surprise. Not to mention that she "sneaked" in now, she just barged in with great force.
Hearing the noise coming from behind, Mr. Zhuang turned around helplessly, pretending that his eyesight was bad, and turning his back to look for a book.
The eyes of master and apprentice met. Man Bao showed a flattering smile and waved, "Sir, I'm back for class."
Mr. Zhuang glanced at the noisy students, nodded seriously and said: "Go back to your seat, sit down, and open the book..."
Bai Shanbao winked at Manbao, why can't he think about going to school?
Manbao looked back at him: Because he was bored.
Bai Shanbao expressed regret that he wanted to take one more day off to sleep at home, but his grandmother would not allow it.
So he winked and asked Manbao: Are the bride and groom having fun?
He still liked the little games he played in the new house during the wedding night last night.
However, the information conveyed by this look was too complicated, and Man Bao did not understand it. Moreover, she saw her husband glance at them, so she ignored him, opened her book, and sat upright to listen to the class.
Bai Shanbao felt a little regretful. He had always been very active. When he had doubts in his mind, he couldn't sit still and would move from side to side as if there was a fire under his butt.
This made Mr. Zhuang look at him several times. Later, seeing that he really couldn't sit still, he called his name and asked him to get up to read. He first read the textbook he was going to teach twice, corrected his sentences, and then asked him
Meaning, after all this trouble, Bai Shanbao's wandering mind finally returned.
It wasn't until get out of class was over and Bai Shanbao put away his books that he remembered the question he wanted to ask before, "Is it fun for the bride and groom?"
"It's fun. Didn't you play with us yesterday?"
"I mean today."
Man Bao said: "There is no wedding today. Sister Fang is already my fourth sister-in-law."
"Wouldn't it be fun without a wedding?" Bai Shanbao tilted his head, "At least there is one more person in your family. Don't you feel any difference?"
Man Bao thought for a while and said: "If I don't feel it, I don't know if the food cooked by my fourth sister-in-law is delicious. I hope her cooking is as good as my elder sister-in-law's. In this way, I can eat delicious food for two days.
.”
Bai Shanbao, who has only three people in his family, simply cannot understand it.
But Fang's arrival really had little impact on Manbao's children. The Zhou family had too many people, so the children still had to complete their tasks every day and play by themselves the rest of the time.
The biggest impact was that the fourth uncle who used to take them up trees to dig out bird eggs and go down to rivers to catch fish suddenly no longer wanted to go with them.
Call him ten times, but only twice will he agree to go up trees and down rivers with them.
So it's quite a pity.
As soon as Fang entered the house, Mrs. Qian did not immediately arrange tasks for her, but asked her to help the four young Qians. Qian watched her for a few days and saw that she was gradually familiar with housework, so she allowed her to be assigned. From now on,
Xiao Qian and the others will share less housework and take longer turns.
This is the advantage of having more people. Even the Xiao Qian family is secretly looking forward to Lao Wu marrying a wife. By then, they will probably be divided into two groups to take turns completing the housework, which will leave them with more free time.
As soon as he had free time, Mr. He began to focus on opening up wasteland. He led a group of children to remove all the grass in the field and added a layer of fertilizer.
Xiao Qian asked them, and finally asked Feng to make tofu together.
Of course, the reason why she asked Mr. Feng to make tofu together was because the tofu had to be picked out and sold by Zhou Erlang, and the money earned was paid to the father-in-law and the two families shared it equally.
Because the heavy work of grinding beans and carrying water was done by Zhou Dalang, and when it came to making tofu, it was Xiao Qian who took the lead, with Feng taking the lead.
No way, although the method is the same, if Feng makes some tofu, the taste will still be a little different.
It's obviously the same technique, but why is it so weird?
Tofu sells surprisingly well in the county town. Every time Zhou Erlang brings it, it is sold out, and his bamboo weaving business has also improved.
But this situation only lasted until mid-May.
After the Dragon Boat Festival, the sun kept shining brightly and it was extremely hot. Manbao's clothes would be half wet when he came back from school every day, which shows how high the temperature was.
It has been hot weather for ten days in a row. Zhou Dalang was still worried that the water in the fields would dry up and damage the rice, but Lao Zhoutou was worried about the heavy rain.
Some old people in the village gathered together and squinted at the clouds and sun in the sky every day, which made Man Bao, who had returned from school, see them and learn to look up.
In the end, my eyes were almost blurred and I couldn't see anything.
She humbly asked her father, "Dad, what are you looking at?"
Lao Zhoutou looked away from the sky and said, "Look at the clouds."
Man Bao looked up again and said, "The clouds now are not as beautiful as the ones I saw before."
Old Zhou was so worried that his eyebrows were furrowed. He asked the old man next to him, "Look, it's going to rain heavily today."
"I think so, but who knows if it will rain," he said, a little older than Lao Zhoutou, sitting on a stone under the tree: "Four or five days ago, we said it was going to rain heavily. After all, it was so sultry, but it turned out
It’s not raining either. It’s getting more and more boring these days. I watched the dark clouds drift by, but a gust of wind blew them away, so let’s take another look.”
Lao Zhoutou was a little worried, "Why don't we clean up the ditch on the other side of the bay first."
"Tell the village chief, who is willing to carry a hoe to dig ditches on such a hot day?"
Lao Zhoutou never liked to show off, so he was silent for a moment after hearing this, but when he lowered his head to look at the bright and curious eyes of the little girl, he pondered for a while, and then went to talk to the village chief.
But as the old man said, the weather is too hot now and the water level in the river is not very high. The young people in the village are not willing to clean the ditch.
On a day like this, it would be great if they didn't want to take the water from the ditch into their own fields, but they actually wanted them to put the water from the fields into the ditch. What were they thinking?
