While it was still dark, Man Bao dragged a bag on the ground, poured out all the copper coins in the bag, counted them, and then took out the copper coins and silver nuggets from his bag.
Everyone opened their mouths. Although they knew they had made a lot of money, they didn't know it was so much.
Zhou Dalang and Zhou Dalang had known about it all along, so their shock was limited. However, Zhou Dalang and Zhou Lang couldn't help but stare wide-eyed, staring blankly at Man Bao who was squatting on the ground counting money with their parents.
Friday Lang found a rope to string the money, and then everyone started counting the money.
Although Wu Lang could barely count to a hundred, he always made mistakes, so he counted ten by ten into piles. When the time came, he counted ten more piles, which would be one hundred pennies.
Man Bao despised him and asked him to string money behind him while he counted it himself.
Datou and the others joined in the fun, chanting one, two, three, four, and got confused when they counted to twenty. They couldn't help shouting seventeen for a while, and twenty-two for a while.
Man Bao didn't seem to be affected at all, and kept counting.
Lao Zhoutou sat aside, touched the bit of tobacco on his waist that he didn't want to smoke, and squeezed out a handful, put it into the cigarette rod and lit it.
He just looked at Man Bao, not knowing what he was thinking.
Man Bao successfully counted to one hundred, pushed all the money to Fifth Brother, and started counting again. Liu Lang also pinched a rope and waited behind to string it.
Datou and others joined in the fun, and while counting Man Bao's numbers to fifteen or sixteen, they secretly touched the money.
It’s a lot of money, it’s good to touch it.
Man Bao quickly calculated the money.
Including the ten cash deposit given by Fu Wenyun, the total is two hundred and seventy cash.
She took out the piece of silver and asked Qian to weigh it for her.
Qian weighed it and said with a smile: "Three coins and four cents, that's three hundred and forty Wen."
Everyone yelled, and Man Bao counted on her fingers, sweating profusely. Everyone didn't help her, they just watched her calculating the number of seventy plus forty.
After a long while, Man Bao finally figured it out and shouted: "It's six hundred and ten cents."
Qian smiled and nodded, "So how much do you want to pay to the public school?"
Of course, Man Bao couldn't calculate it out of thin air. She scratched her head and finally asked Big Tou and Er Tou to help her find six big stones and six small stones.
He put six big stones in a row, pointed at them and said, "This is one hundred coins. I want to give my mother sixty coins..."
Manbao placed a small stone in front of the big stone and said, "This is sixty coins."
"This is also a hundred cents, and I have to give my mother sixty cents... a total of six sixty cents," Man Bao counted and added one by one, and finally clapped his hands and said: "Three hundred and sixty cents."
, just give my mother six cents more."
Man Bao gave the broken silver to Qian, and counted twenty-six coins from the scattered copper plates to her. This was regarded as being handed over to Gongzhong.
The remaining money was theirs, a total of two hundred and forty-four coins.
Man Bao called all the friends who had helped her around, counted their heads, and generously gave each of them ten cents.
Including Lao Zhoutou and Qian, who helped her weave bamboo baskets, she went to 80 Wen.
Considering that Da Ya, Er Ya, Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother accompanied her to the county town today, they also put in a lot of effort, and each of them gave them ten coins.
Everyone watched the money-filled children wandering around the house, and the children had to look at their parents before taking the money.
Seeing Man Bao scattering money like this, Zhou Dalang and the others subconsciously wanted to refuse, but then they thought, wouldn't the money come out of Man Bao's hands?
Then they became cheerful again and motioned for them to pick up.
It's impossible to grab money from Man Bao, but it doesn't matter if you grab money from your own children. They even joined in the fun and said, "Man Bao, we also helped you with your bamboo basket. Don't we have any wages?"
Manbao thought so, so he also sent some money to his three brothers. When he turned around and saw his sisters-in-law, he felt that they were also working hard, so he also sent money to them.
All the stringed money was scattered again, and in the end, only sixty-four coins were left in Man Bao's hand. She didn't care, and happily put it in her pocket. She found that her pocket was too small, and she even discussed it with Xiao Qian.
"Sister-in-law, please help me make the cloth pocket on my clothes bigger. This way I can carry more money."
He's needlework is the best. She said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you are so small. No matter how big the bag is, it can't be much bigger. When I have scraps of fabric at home, I will make a bag for you, just like a purse.
."
Man Bao was happy, "Okay, okay." She rolled her eyes and said, "I want to design the style myself."
Mrs. He agreed with a smile and put away the ten cents that Man Bao gave her. Last time, all the money in each house was spent to pay off Zhou Lang's gambling debt. Now she finally made money.
Although Manbao still has a lot of money on hand, compared with the more than 600 yuan before, these 64 yuan are no longer valued by adults.
They also knew that it was impossible to take over the money from her, so everyone focused on their sons and daughters.
Lao Zhou first looked at Wu Lang and Liu Lang, took a puff of smoke and said, "You two can just keep two cents, and let your mother keep the rest for you to get a wife for you in the future."
Zhou Dalang also said to Datou and Daya: "Let your mother keep it for you and buy you new clothes later."
Zhou Zuorang also looked at their two children and coaxed: "Come here, dad will keep it for you and buy you candies later."
The children all clutched the coins tightly, wanting to cry but not daring to cry.
The only people at the scene who didn't get any money were Zhou Lang and the three little beans.
Man Bao's eyes fell on the fourth brother, and he quickly slid over him, then took out three cents and distributed them to San Tou, Si Tou and San Ya, and said very generously: "My sister-in-law gave it to you."
The three little cubs quickly caught it and said to Manbao in a sweet voice, "Congratulations to my sister-in-law for getting rich."
Full of joy.
Zhou Lang squatted aside and almost cried. Man Bao squatted beside him and sighed: "Fourth brother, you are still a bad guy now, so I can't give you money."
Zhou Lang asked her with red eyes, "Am I not your brother? Why am I a bad person?"
"Those who gamble are all bad people," Man Bao affirmed: "Only those who have reformed can be lovable, otherwise everyone will hate you."
For the first time, Zhoulang lowered his head and squatted on the ground silently without saying a word. When everyone else had it but he didn't, he finally noticed the different treatment he received because of gambling, and he couldn't help but feel the circles in his eyes.
Hong whispered: "I, I know I was wrong."
"That's great. Then keep up your efforts and let your parents, brothers and sisters-in-law see your sincerity." Manbao imitated his second brother and patted his shoulder and asked, "How is the land reclamation going?
?”
Zhou Lang sighed and said: "It should be able to open before winter."
Man Bao said: "I will help you tomorrow."
No, apart from blind command, he couldn't see what use she had. Zhou Lang said dullly: "Aren't you going to the school tomorrow?"
"Go, but I can go for a walk in the fields first, and then go to school with my sister-in-law when I come back."
Manbao has not yet realized that he is a student. He feels that he can come and go freely, and he can do whatever he wants as before.
