In the end, Zhou Lang managed to stuff everything into the car, and tried his best to make them sit comfortably.
The group set out early in the morning.
Aunt Rong did not go back, but stayed to look at the house.
When the two carriages arrived at the city gate, the sky had just appeared, and the city gate slowly opened under the gaze of everyone.
The quiet street suddenly became noisy, and everyone was carrying, pulling, or rushing their cars out of the city.
The city gate is divided into two, with one half going out and the other half coming in.
Yizhou City is a big city, and there are many people coming in and out of the city. There is a long queue. Manbao and the others took advantage of the carriage queuing to slip out of the carriage and ran to the side of the street to buy some breakfast.
Bring it with you.
For example, steamed buns, pastries, etc. that look delicious.
Zhou Lang couldn't stop him in time, so he could only scold them and stare at them with his neck raised, fearing that when there were more people, they would be overwhelmed.
Daji, who was driving in front, couldn't help but peek his head in for a while. Mr. Zhuang also opened the curtains and took a look.
He shook his head and said, "Aunt Rong has obviously prepared a lot of food, why do you still need to buy it?"
Daji saw that they had bought something and turned back. He breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It's just something fresh to eat. They are young and always feel that the food outside is better than the food at home."
After Man Bao and the others bought something, they climbed into the car. Zhou Lang disliked their naughty, so he ordered Man Bao and Bai Shan and said, "You two go to the carriage in front. Didn't you see that our carriage also pulled a lot of things? In a moment, the horse
If you're tired, get out of the car and carry your things."
Man Bao took the food and said, "Fourth Brother, you are no longer the Fourth Brother I know."
Zhou Lang rolled his eyes and said: "Yes, how about I leave the carriage and follow you to buy food? If you can have a manager, I won't worry about it."
He babbled: "Aunt Rong is a servant. She doesn't care about anything except the things in the kitchen. Daji is a bachelor. He doesn't care about anything except safety. You just fight in front of him. There won't be any blood. He won't even bleed."
I didn’t even raise my eyelids.”
"Mr. Zhuang has already had enough trouble teaching you to study. It's better to let him worry about mundane things at home. You are all so old, and you still don't care about anything. You don't even know where to buy horse feed.
If I continue to be like you and ignore everything, what will our family be like..."
Man Bao was so overwhelmed that he finally had to pick out a few of his favorite foods, climb out of the carriage and head forward.
Bai Shan looked around, found a package of something somewhere and climbed out of the carriage.
The space in the car suddenly became larger. Zhou Lijun and Bai Erlang were immediately happy. They took the seats by the window and sat with their hands and feet spread out.
Bai Erlang invited Zhou Lijun, "Let's play the game of throwing sandbags later."
"The car is too shaky."
Bai Erlang: "This shows your ability. Do you dare to come?"
"What are you afraid of?" Zhou Lijun said, "I'm better at throwing sandbags than you."
Man Bao and Bai Shan walked to the carriage in front. When Daji saw them, he couldn't help but smile, felt relieved, and reached out to give them a hand.
Bai Shan climbed onto the carriage and looked at his face, "You can laugh if you want to, don't be nervous."
Daji's eyebrows arched and he pointed to the carriage and said, "Master, please sit in. We will be here soon. The dust may be a bit heavy after we leave the city gate."
When Bai Shan heard this, he immediately climbed back into the car and started eating the delicious food they touched with Man Bao.
Of course, they gave Mr. Zhuang a serious invitation before eating.
But Mr. Zhuang shook his head and refused, not long after breakfast. He was old and did not dare to eat haese like this.
He watched with envy as the two of them took small, white and plump buns and ate them in three bites. He couldn't help but marvel at their good appetites.
However, they were growing up at this time, so it was a good thing to be able to eat. Therefore, Mr. Zhuang never stopped Aunt Rong from feeding them four or five times a day.
Children at this age seem to have enough to eat.
It was about to be their turn. Mr. Zhuang closed the window and said to the two of them: "Eat quickly and put away what you can't finish. It will be dirty and smelly in a while. Be careful to contaminate your mouth and nose."
It is indeed dirty and smelly. Not only are there many people and cars walking outside the city gate, and the dust is flying outside, but also because there are many livestock and they stay there for a long time, there is a smell in the air.
Manbao and the others had stopped eating. Following the traffic, Daji gently patted the horse, making it slowly speed up.
After walking for two or three miles, the smell faded, but there was still a lot of dust on the road, and they did not open the windows.
Bai Shanbao took out the package he had brought, and when he opened it, he found that it was a piece of cloth with a chessboard drawn on it and stones wrapped inside.
Many of the stones had an ink line drawn on them to distinguish them. Bai Shan called to Man Bao: "Come, let's play chess."
Mr. Zhuang: "...Are you short of money?"
Can’t even afford a chess set?
"There is no shortage," Bai Shanbao said, "But sir, we have just learned chess and we don't know how to play it yet. It's better not to spend money on buying chess yet."
Man Bao nodded repeatedly, "We may not always like you."
The main reason is that the two of them have been too busy with their schoolwork recently. No one forced the two of them to learn chess, so they just decided to muddle along.
Can Mr. Zhuang not know what the two disciples are thinking?
He glanced at them and wanted to say something but didn't say it in the end. He finally had a vacation. He planned to make them happy for a while first and then talk about it after receiving the vacation.
Chess, as one of the important means of communication among literati, how could the two of them not do it?
Not only them, but even the most naughty Bai Erlang also has to learn.
Of course, Mr. Zhuang was very considerate at this time and did not tell them.
Playing with stones is also fun. Man Bao and Bai Shan could play for most of the day sitting in the carriage, going back and forth.
Now is the hottest time of the summer. They will rest for a while at noon, have lunch, and then leave after the hottest period.
So by the time they returned to Qili Village, it was already very late.
But similarly, the sun is setting late now, and it is already midnight and it is not yet dark.
But it was getting late, and people in the village had already had dinner. Some people had already washed up and prepared to go to bed. Only some people couldn't sleep because it was too hot. They were sitting under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village, talking and enjoying the cool air.
Woolen cloth.
When the carriage drove into the village entrance from a distance, the villagers under the banyan tree squinted for a while before they saw Man Bao sitting on the shaft of the carriage.
An old man recognized her first because he could see far away. He patted his thigh and said, "Isn't that the old daughter of Zhou Jin's family? Oh, Man Bao is back!"
As soon as these words came out, the older and younger children who were gathered under the banyan tree and didn't want to sleep immediately jumped up and ran over shouting, and one of them yelled in the direction of the village, "Zhou Lixue, Zhou Ligu
, your sister-in-law is back——"
I just came out of the shower. I was sitting in the yard swatting mosquitoes, my ears perked up, and I said, "Dad, I think I heard someone calling me, saying that my sister-in-law is back."
"Nonsense, why didn't I hear you? Stop running out and mend your torn pants when you have nothing to do. Your mother and sister are not at home, so you can do such small things by yourself."
