Bai Shanbao reluctantly agreed, "Okay, let's calculate how much money it will take to exchange these wheat seeds."
Man Bao asked weakly, "Since I'm buying wheat from your family, can I get it on credit first? I see that some people in the county charge their meals to their accounts first and wait until the end of the month to settle the bill."
Bai Shanbao's eyes lit up, "Why didn't I think of this? I'll talk to my grandmother when I get back soon."
The three of them went over the matter again, and after confirming the various explanations, they opened the door and opened the window.
They were not in a hurry to call Mr. Bai. After thinking about it, the three of them found that they were hungry again, so they sat down and continued to eat the leftovers.
When Mr. Bai couldn't bear to ask, he found out that they were eating and drinking with the doors and windows wide open.
If it weren't for the three children, and if he hadn't just seen them hiding behind closed doors and windows to discuss things, he would have almost thought they were doing this on purpose.
Mr. Bai sighed and resignedly got up and went to the study room to find the three children. When they arrived, the three of them had just finished eating everything on the table and were resting on the chair, stroking their bellies.
Mr. Bai couldn't help but touch his son's belly and asked: "After eating so much, I will go out to eat in a while. Be careful not to fall asleep at night."
Manbao glanced outside subconsciously, and then realized that the sky was getting dark. She said "ahhhh" and shouted, "I forgot to go home."
Mr. Bai smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll have someone take you back in a while. After all, how's your discussion going?"
The three children looked at each other, and then immediately moved away with a guilty conscience. Bai Shanbao spoke on behalf of everyone, "Uncle, we think we have to seriously consider it for a few days. After all, this is our first big business."
Man Bao and Bai Erlang nodded repeatedly.
Mr. Bai was a little unsure of what they meant and asked: "How many days is it?"
Bai Shanbao thought for a moment and said, "About a day or two, maybe three or four days..."
Master Bai:......
Bai Shanbao felt guilty, lowered his head and whispered: "I have to ask my grandmother what she means."
Man Bao also felt guilty and did not look at Mr. Bai. He looked around and said, "I also have to ask my parents."
Bai Erlang looked around and said with a guilty conscience: "I, I also have to ask my mother."
Mr. Bai: "...Come on, come on, what do you want to ask your mother? Why don't you ask your father and me first?"
Man Bao stepped on Bai Erlang's left foot, Bai Erlang said "ah", and then Bai Shanbao stepped on his right foot.
Bai Erlang burst into tears. He rushed forward, hugged his father's hand across a table, and said with tears in his eyes: "Dad, I have thought about it. I want to study hard, so you asked me to go to Heshanbao
Stay."
Mr. Bai: ...He is sure. The three children stayed in the study and discussed something extraordinary. They actually hid it from the adults?
but?
Mr. Bai thought of Daji who had always just followed Bai Shanbao and never interfered with his actions. He suppressed his infinite curiosity and reluctantly nodded in agreement, "Okay."
He wanted to see what the three children planned to do.
Later, Mr. Bai, who was bleeding heavily, regretted the decision he made tonight.
After the two parties finished their exchange and agreed on the rules to be discussed later, Mr. Bai waved his hand and called three servants to send the three children away.
One took Man Bao back to Lao Zhou's house, the other took Bai Shanbao to the Bai house next door, and the other took Bai Erlang to pack his things, and tonight he will be packed and sent next door to be with Bai Shanbao.
Well, the Bai family suddenly became quiet. It’s really... not used to it, but it’s wonderful!
As soon as Man Bao returned to Lao Zhou's house, he went straight to his father's room. Lao Zhou was about to lie down. When he saw his daughter rushing in, he was stunned and said, "Isn't it? The Bai family didn't give you enough food?"
He thought his daughter came to ask him for food.
Man Bao said: "Dad, I'm full. I have something very important to tell you."
Lao Zhoutou also sat on the edge of the bed seriously and said seriously: "What do you mean?"
"Dad, do you think it would be okay to trade my wheat with the people in the village for the winter wheat they harvested this year?"
"Ah?" Old Zhou asked, "What are you doing in exchange for something?"
"Make seeds."
"No, how much wheat do you want to plant and so many seeds?"
"I didn't plant it, but it was for others. Can you just say it's okay?"
"Okay, why not? As long as the wheat is not lacking, it is new, and the grains are full." Lao Zhoutou yawned, relaxed and leaned on the bed and said: "I thought it was some big deal.
Okay, how many kilograms do you want to exchange? I will tell them later. By the way, don’t we have quite a lot of them at home? Just exchange them for ours.”
Man Bao thought for a while and felt that he couldn't cheat his own family, so he said: "Dad, I won't replace the ones at home. I will replace all the winter wheat in the village that we planted with our family last year, so that they can keep enough for themselves."
Just the seeds, I want the rest."
Old Zhou blinked and asked, "Who wants so many seeds, Manbao, don't be fooled."
Man Bao thought for a while and then said: "Master Bai should be one, and there may be many other masters."
When Lao Zhoutou heard this, he felt relieved, "It turns out that Mr. Bai wants it. I thought he wanted something from you. Okay, I know about this. Just ask him to prepare the wheat. One pound for one pound."
It’s not a good idea to be short of weight.”
Man Bao became happy and said, "Don't worry, Dad, you won't be short of money. By the way, Dad, Mr. Bai may come to you to ask about farming, but then don't talk to him about exchanging wheat."
Old Zhoutou felt something was wrong, "Didn't Mr. Bai ask you to change it?"
"No," Man Bao thought for a while and said, "The three of us decided to change it, but Mr. Bai will use it to plant it in the end, right?"
Old Zhoutou thought he understood, "Is this a surprise that the second son of his family wants to give them? You kids are really ready to surprise adults. Don't you know how easy it is for adults to scare you?"
Obviously, he is still worried about the surprise of Manbao's credit return.
However, he did not object anymore and yawned before lying down on the bed to sleep.
Qian glanced at her daughter, stood up and said, "Let's go, mother will take you back."
After finishing his task, Man Bao happily took his mother's hand and went out.
At this time, it was completely dark outside. Several brothers and sisters-in-law were still enjoying the shade in the yard, or whispering. The mother and daughter were holding hands and returning to the small courtyard.
After entering Man Bao's house, Qian touched her hair and asked, "What are you doing with so many wheat seeds? Are they really for Master Bai?"
There are some things that Manbao won't say to his father because he knows that his father will definitely object, but not to his mother.
Man Bao smiled slyly and told Qian all their plans in her ear.
