Chapter 18 Flower Basket
The Zhou family never allowed Man Bao to get close to the river. This was the first time that Man Bao had come into contact with the river water at such a close distance. She happily soaked her hands in the water and had a great time.
She tilted her head and saw Erya was rubbing her clothes. She also pulled a piece of clothing and rubbed it like her, then put it in the water and stirred it, and then followed everyone's way to wring it dry.
Erya watched silently, waited for her to wash it again, and hurriedly washed the clothes and dragged her aunt back home, she was ready to go back and be beaten.
Man Bao was still in high spirits, "The river is so cool, have a good time, Er Ya, I'll accompany you to do the laundry in the future."
"No," Erya refused. "Little aunt, don't tell me if you're not clean. If you let the milk know, I'll be beaten. You should play with Erto at home."
"No, I'm going to play in the water," Man Bao said, "I've already agreed with the second sister-in-law. I'll teach you to read in the future, so you'll take me to do the laundry."
Erya hesitated, "My mother agreed?"
"Of course," Man Bao said proudly, "I've been begging for a long time."
Erya was dubious, and as soon as she got home, she dragged her sister-in-law to the kitchen to find her mother.
Feng Shi was making breakfast, and when she saw Erya, she asked her to come over to help set the fire, and let Man Bao go out, not to smoke in the kitchen.
Erya went to set the fire and asked, "Mother, my aunt said you promised me to read?"
Feng shi glanced at her small chest, looked at her Man Bao proudly, and coaxed: "Yes, yes, as long as you can make money by reading, I will promise you."
Erya's whole face became bitter when she heard that there was still this precondition.
Seeing that she was about to cry, Man Bao couldn't help dragging her out, and said to Feng, "Second sister-in-law, Erya hasn't dried her clothes yet. I'll go drying clothes with her."
"Hey," Feng shi only had time to shout, and Man Bao dragged Er Ya and ran away.
Feng shi was helpless and had no choice but to set the fire by himself.
Man Bao pulled Erya into the yard and whispered, "Are you stupid, you said you need to read and write to make money, so how can you make money if you don't know how to read?"
The tears in Erya's eyes couldn't be shed. She clarified this sentence with hindsight, blinked her eyes, and asked with a sob, "Alright, how can this still be done?"
"Anyway, the second sister-in-law agreed."
Erya thought about it and felt a little unreliable, "Then, if you still can't make money after studying for a while, why won't my mother tell me to study?"
Man Bao said sternly: "It must be that your studies are not good enough or deep enough, so you can't make money, so in order to make money, you have to continue to study."
Erya nodded thoughtfully, "Little aunt, I think you're right."
Erya became happy again and went to dry the clothes.
Man Bao was short and handed her clothes on the side.
The second head ran in from outside, sweating profusely, and saw Man Bao standing under the drying rack, so he ran up and asked, "Little aunt, where have you been just now? It made me look for it."
"You're stupid, I'm right by the river."
Er Tou let out an "oh", then remembered something, jumped up and said, "I didn't tell you to go to the river, okay, second sister... woo woo woo."
Erya covered his mouth, and Man Bao threatened him: "If you dare to shout out, I won't give you candy in the future."
Er Duo is very wronged, if you don't let me speak out, then don't tell me!
Ertou had tears in his eyes, but changed his words, "Little aunt, I have found all your manuscripts for you, you should go back and read."
Man Bao: "Don't worry, let's go pick wildflowers. I've already figured out how to make money."
Er Tou and Er Ya thought it was unreliable, but what could be done? This was requested by their aunt, and Qian Shi also said, "After breakfast, you can go with you to open up wasteland and take care of your aunt."
So everyone hurrahed to the foot of the mountain again, and Chuu Lang came to open up wasteland for two days in a row, and the land at the foot of the mountain looked much better.
It was only about an acre, and most of the weeds had been cut, but those vines were difficult to remove, and some of the roots were sold so deep that Shiroulang might not be able to dig up three trees in a day.
At this time, his hands were scratched a lot, and he was squatting on the ground and staring at the root that could not be hoeed.
Man Bao also squatted down to look, "So hard to hoe?"
Thursday Lang looked at her with red eyes, "So why did you ask me to open up the wasteland?"
Man Bao said confidently, "Who asked you to gamble?"
Chu Chulang was choked, and continued to bow his head in sadness, "The hoe is dull, and it can't be dug out at all."
"There must be no way to find the right way," Man Bao, who was reminded by Keke, snorted, dragged him aside, and asked the fifth and sixth brothers to dig.
Wu Wulang held the hoe and said, "Dig so far?"
Man Bao waved his hand vigorously, "Listen to me!"
Wu Wulang could only listen to her, put the hoeed soil aside, and slowly dug a big hole in the direction of the root of the tree, and then Rookuro pulled the root with one force.
Everyone was silent.
Man Bao hummed proudly and asked Shirou to continue digging the roots, while she and Datou went up the mountain to find beautiful flowers.
By the way, she said about her plan, "Let the second brother help us weave some beautiful baskets. We will arrange the baskets with flowers like yesterday, and then sell the baskets."
"Isn't that selling baskets?" Ertou said, "My father made up the baskets, and the money from the sale must be given to my father, he won't give it to us."
Man Bao said: "It's not the kind of big basket, it's the kind of small basket that my second brother made for me."
Daya said: "That kind of small basket can't hold anything, so no one will buy it?"
"When the second brother made it up for me, didn't you all like it?"
The children were entangled, "I like it, but adults won't buy it."
Erya said: "The child has no money."
"Then we'll find rich kids."
Everyone thought it was impossible, "How can a child have money?"
They don't have them, so they think that children all over the world are the same. For the same reason, Man Bao said: "How come there is no, I have money, then there must be children like me, maybe more rich than me, Let's find them."
Only then did Man Bao put forward his ultimate goal, "When the time comes, we will put sugar in a basket and sell it."
After hearing that there was sugar in the basket, everyone became more confident and followed them to find wildflowers.
Although it was autumn, there were also a lot of wild flowers on the mountain. It didn’t take long for everyone to hold a bosom of flowers. There were full treasures, and the big head and the big girl became more courageous, leaving behind the three brothers who were still working hard. , Le Dian Dian went home.
Wuwu Lang and Saturday Lang looked envious, they only hated how old they were, so that they didn't take advantage of Yaomei.
But when they turned to look at the fourth brother who was squatting and mowing the grass, they felt much better. After all, they could go to the county town tomorrow, but the fourth brother was still going to open up the wasteland.
Man Bao ran home to find Zhou Yilang, but Zhou Dalang and Zhou Dalang went to the ground.
Although the busy farming season is over, the land needs to be reorganized, and the land will be raised for half a year, so that it will be ready for planting in the spring of next year.
When Lang was not on Tuesday, Man Bao could only find his father, "Father, make up a little basket for me, just like the second brother made me."
