The friends worked together until the sun rose high. Everyone was too hungry to move, so they thought it was time for breakfast, so they packed up their things and headed home.
Wu Lang still squatted down to carry the treasure on his back.
However, Manbao felt very sorry for his brother, mainly because he was dirty, sweaty, and smelly now, so Manbao insisted on walking back by himself.
Wu Lang thought for a while and realized that the land from here to home was mostly flat. Man Bao should be able to walk, and my mother would probably not cut him if she saw him, so he took Man Bao's hand and went home with confidence.
Along the way, I met many villagers returning home from the fields for breakfast. Now the Zhou family is a hot topic in the village, especially Zhou Lang.
When everyone saw them, they first looked at Zhou Lang's butt with concerned eyes, and then gave serious instructions: "Si Lang, it's not easy to gamble. It's a thing that can destroy families and annihilate families."
"Shiro, you are still young, don't make such mistakes again in the future."
…
When he met a person who was admonishing him, Zhoulang's face turned green. He didn't answer. Wulang and Liulang also felt embarrassed. Only Manbao, who was still young, didn't have the emotion of shame yet, and she really felt that these uncles and brothers
The advice is so right.
So she agreed throughout the whole process, "Uncle Six is right. If you see my fourth brother sneaking into the casino in the future, you will beat him up on my father's behalf. When you come back, my father will definitely treat you to a big meal."
"Isn't that right? Brother Dazhu, next time you go to the county seat, keep an eye on my fourth brother. If he is dishonest, tie him back. My mother will definitely thank you."
Seeing that the fourth brother was sullen and silent, Man Bao slapped him in the face and said, "It's rude, why don't you talk to you again when you haven't seen your uncles and brothers? Are you still not sincerely repentant and still want to gamble?"
Zhou Lang could only thank him with a sad face. Anyone who criticized him or scolded him had to say thank you.
When the villagers saw it, they all said privately that Shiro was probably a prodigal son. In fact, he was still young and could not resist temptation for a while.
So I originally wanted to say goodbye to him, but gave up the idea again.
If this boy Shiro can improve, he will still be a very good young man. He is strong, good at work, and has many brothers who are promising.
Yes, the villagers unanimously feel that the three married men of the Zhou family are very promising. They do well in farm work and are diligent. Whenever they have time, they go to Landlord Bai's house to work as part-time workers to earn money. Looking at Old Man Zhou and Mr. Qian again, then
They are all first-class hard-working people, and for the same reason, Zhou Lang should be no less good.
Everyone looked at Zhou Lang with a more tolerant look.
Zhou Lang didn't realize it because as soon as he got home, his mother ordered him to chop wood.
Now that the autumn harvest is over, the family has to prepare firewood for the winter. In the past, these tasks were arranged by the three brothers above. The heavy work of chopping firewood was always done by the third brother because he was strong.
The unmarried ones below them were responsible for collecting firewood from the mountains and carrying the chopped firewood to the shack.
However, because Zhou Lang lost money in gambling, Qian and Lao Zhou discussed it and gave him the job of chopping firewood. This was a punishment and a show for the sons and daughters-in-law at home.
There are many children in the family, and their fingers are of different lengths. Qian will definitely not be able to hold a bowl of water evenly, but in general, she has to be able to handle it. Otherwise, as long as one of them starts to make a fuss, the family will not be able to live in peace.
Lao Zhoutou squatted on the threshold with a frown on his face, staring at his fourth son as he went to get the axe, and then he snorted and looked away.
Seeing the little girl, a smile appeared on her face, "Man Bao is back, did you have fun?"
Man Bao nodded happily, "Happy, Dad, it's so fun on the mountain. There are many flowers and grass on it. I'm going to go there in the afternoon!"
"The sun is strong in the afternoon, so you can take a nap at home and let your fourth brother and the others go," Lao Zhoutou said, "If you like flowers, ask your eldest niece and the others to pick them for you. You can't bask in the sun, otherwise they will get damaged.
I need to take medicine."
Man Bao wrinkled her nose as she thought about the black juice her mother was going to eat, and her whole little face wrinkled up, as if she was in pain.
Old man Zhou looked at it happily, and his mood finally improved a little. He asked his daughter to go in and sit down, and she would have breakfast soon.
Farmers eat breakfast after finishing a round of farm work, and they only eat two meals a day.
One meal is Si Zheng in the morning and one meal is Shen Zheng. After dinner, you clean up and go to bed after dark.
Adults are all like this, with the exception of children. Like in summer and autumn, because the days are long and the nights come, the family usually cooks a little porridge for the children to eat at night, so as not to make them too hungry.
Man Bao got into the main room. Qian was not in good health. She was frightened, angry and frightened yesterday. She just lay in bed and didn't get up today.
When I saw my daughter covered in grass clippings, I couldn't help but laugh, "Are you having fun?"
Man Bao said "Hmm" twice and sat on the edge of the bed, looking very well-behaved. "Mom, I want to go to the market next time with my second brother."
"What are you going to do?"
"I also want to learn how to do business."
Qian couldn't help laughing, "You just want to play, right?"
Qian thought about it for a while, she didn't go to the temple fair at the beginning of spring, and the autumn harvest was over. She didn't go now, and she wouldn't go out when the weather got cold.
After thinking about it, Mrs. Qian agreed, "Let your second sister-in-law take you there, and all the big guys will go too. They were all frightened yesterday. Let's go out and have some fun to calm down."
As for talking about business, Qian never took it to heart. In her opinion, it was just childish talk.
Man Bao didn't think it was a child's talk, she was very serious.
So after breakfast, she didn't go to school to listen to the lectures. Instead, she invited her fifth and sixth brothers and her nephews and nieces to work together.
Wulang reached out and touched his sister's forehead, "You don't have a fever either, why are you talking nonsense?"
Rokuro smiled and said, "What can we sell at home?"
Man Bao shook his head, "No, but there are some outside."
She pointed outside and said, "There are so many beautiful grasses and flowers outside, we can sell them all."
Everyone: "..."
Now even Santou said, "We can't sell it!"
"Why can't they be sold?" Since Keke, who is so smart and powerful, likes these weeds and wild flowers, then people outside should also like them.
Man Bao was particularly dictatorial. He waved his hand and said, "That's it. We're going to pick flowers and weeds to sell."
Wu Lang wanted to persuade her, but Liu Lang stopped him and said, "Listen to Man Bao."
"Yao Mei is stupid, are you stupid too?"
Rokuro: "I'm not stupid, but if we don't listen to her, can we still go to the market?"
When Wulang thought about it, he thought it made sense.
The market is quite far from their village. It takes more than half an hour to walk to get there. The last time I went there was during the temple fair in spring.
The two men immediately winked at Da Tou Da Ya and the others. Everyone understood and happily agreed to Man Bao that they would bring a lot of beautiful weeds and flowers to the market that day.
