When Bai Shanbao heard Manbao's voice coming from the house, he knew he had made a mistake. He left Daji and his servants behind and ran inside.
The village chief was talking to Man Bao. Zhou Dazhu was seriously injured. He was seriously injured. Moreover, his father was the village chief. The first place Old Zhou took Man Bao to was his home.
We had just been talking for a while, but before our buttocks were even hot, Bai Shanbao came running over.
The village chief quickly stood up to greet him, "Why are you here, young master?"
I'm here to play with Manbao!
Of course you can't say that. Bai Shanbao said seriously: "I was ordered by my grandmother to come and see the wounded. Are they all okay? Has the injury gotten worse?"
"It's okay, it's okay. I saw the doctor last night. The medicine you sent me is also very effective."
The village chief hurriedly invited everyone into the house to talk.
Although Bai Shanbao is a child, no one in the village dares to look down upon him, just like the village does not really regard Bai Erlang as an ordinary child.
Aunt Liu and Daji came in with people.
She pushed a large box of money to the village chief and said: "We, the old lady, heard that many people were injured last night, and felt very sorry. We asked us to bring some money and give two hundred to each injured person."
Wen, we don’t know who was injured, so we asked the village chief for help.”
The village chief was startled and quickly waved his hands and said: "This is impossible. How can I ask the old lady to pay for it? She doesn't want to do this."
"Our old lady has said that she brought the person here, so she has a share of the responsibility. Please don't refuse, the village chief. Just show us the way. I will wait for the old lady to go and apologize."
After that, she opened the box, which was full of strings of copper plates.
She took two bunches to the village chief and said, "I heard that the elder man in your family was also injured. This is for him."
"I can't do it, I can't do it..." The village chief quickly looked at Old Zhoutou.
Old Zhou's expression became even more bitter, and he helped push the money back, "The person was injured in an altercation at my house. We should be responsible for these things. This is too much courtesy, Madam."
"Yes, yes, they are all from the village, so they can only help."
When Uncle Jin sent money, the village chief accepted it even though he refused. After all, everyone knew why the conflict started even though they didn't say it.
But it would be a shame to accept money from the Bai family.
Seeing that they refused to accept them, Grandma Liu stood up and said, "Since the village chief is unwilling, we can only go find the injured people ourselves."
After saying that, he pushed the two bunches of money to him and left with the box.
Seeing this, the village chief could only chase after him, "No, no, no, forget it, I'll take you there."
He turned to look at Lao Zhoutou.
Lao Zhoutou sighed and said, "I'll take you there. It just so happens that I also have to send them something."
Lao Zhou saw all the seriously wounded, and gave them all 200 coins and a basket of rice and eggs. The Bai family all gave them 200 coins.
Lao Zhoutou was used to staying at home to talk, so the time was delayed for a long time. By the time they returned home after seeing the seriously injured, Zhou Zuolang and the others had already completed their task.
Lao Zhoutou then asked Aunt Liu, "The injuries to other families were relatively minor. Are you still going?"
Aunt Liu smiled, "Of course I want to go, and I'd like to ask my father-in-law to help lead the way."
Old Zhou nodded and continued to lead them there with Man Bao. The Zhou family had just sent the money, and they led the Bai family to give the money, which made the injured people feel quite embarrassed.
Before leaving, Old Zhoutou asked Manbao to bend down and salute as usual to say thank you.
Man Bao didn't think it was anything, raised her hand and bowed down. Those who were senior to her had to accept it, and those of the same generation were fine. What was worrying was that those who were younger than her had to jump with their injuries when receiving the gift.
Move to the side and hide.
Bai Shanbao looked very curious and asked Manbao quietly, "Why do you have to salute every family?"
"Thank you for my father." Man Bao said: "My father is old, his legs and feet are not good, his waist is not good, and he is too senior. Of course I have to do this kind of salute."
Old Zhoutou, who accidentally overheard their conversation:...
Aunt Liu and Daji had smiles flashing in their eyes, holding back their laughter and walked ahead.
Bai Shanbao still had doubts in her heart, shouldn't her brothers be better?
No matter how bad it is, there will still be a big head.
But he didn't ask it out, vaguely, he seemed to feel that this question was not a good one.
It was not difficult to walk through the eighteen houses. They had finished walking just as it was time for breakfast at each house, and Aunt Liu had to go back to resume her life.
Bai Shanbao wanted to play with Manbao, so he didn't leave. Daji stayed with him.
Lao Zhoutou thought that he would have to go to Bai's house later to discuss the matter of the three people, so after having breakfast, he went to find the village chief with his hands behind his back.
Man Bao took the time to show Bai Shanbao her room, pointing to the roof with the skylight open and said happily: "Look, there is a big hole in my roof. I can see the stars and the moon when I lie in bed at night. During the day
You don’t even need to take the bedding out to dry it.”
Bai Shanbao was a little envious, "Are the stars pretty?"
"nice!"
"It would be nice if my roof also leaked."
Thursday Lang:......
He put down the thatch and asked, "Do you want to repair the roof?"
Man Bao saw him carrying the dried thatch and was not happy, "Just use this to repair it?"
"What do you think? We have to go to the county town to buy tiles. Mom said that we have to save some money for emergencies, so we use thatch to cover it first, and then we can buy tiles and replace them after the autumn harvest."
After the autumn harvest, the results of harvests, taxes, etc. are all released, and it is clear at a glance whether the family has money or not.
Man Bao rolled his eyes, looked up at the clear sky, waved his hand and said: "We won't repair it for the time being, it will definitely not rain today."
Zhou Lang took the thatch to his side and planned to tie it up and put it on top.
Their family rarely collects thatch, and due to heavy rains some time ago, every family has been replacing thatch frequently, causing the price of thatch to rise a bit.
The thatch in the field has even been cut.
These were borrowed from the villagers, and they would have to cut the thatch and dry it before returning it.
But even borrowing it like this was not enough, so I decided to focus on Man Bao and the children's cultivation first. Since she didn't want it, then he would.
He didn't want to sleep with his head against the skylight, and neither did his wife.
It was the first time for Bai Shanbao to see thatched grass, so he stepped forward to take a look curiously.
When Zhou Lang saw it, he pulled out some thatch, twirled his fingers quickly, and quickly made a grasshopper for him.
Bai Shanbao let out a wow.
Zhou Lang smiled and made one for Man Bao, and then said with a smile: "Go and play, the house is in chaos, just don't run too far."
The Zhou family is a bit messy. It was very late yesterday. The tables, chairs, dishes, chopsticks, etc. were not cleared away. There were also stones, soil, tiles, etc. that fell from the fights and were piled in the yard.
On Tuesday, Lang was leading people to select the tiles that were still usable, repairing the ones that could be repaired, and making the best use of them.
Bai Shanbao invited Manbao to his house, "Come to my house and read a book. And isn't your father also at my house?"
He whispered again: "The kitchen made glutinous rice cakes today."
Manbao swallowed and nodded fiercely, "Wait for me a moment, I'll get my books and bag."
