Chapter 18

The Zhou family never gave man Bao close to the river. This was the first time man Bao had such close contact with the river. She was happy to soak her hand in the water and had a lot of fun.

At one glance, she saw that Erya was buried in rubbing clothes. She also pulled a dress, rubbed it like her, then stirred it in the water, and then wrung it dry like everyone else.

She Kwai looked at it without saying anything. After she washed it, she washed it again. She washed the clothes quickly and quickly and dragged the sister-in-law home. She had already prepared to go back to be beaten.

Man Bao was still in high spirits. "The river is so cool. Have a good time, Erya. I'll accompany you to wash clothes in the future."

"No," Erya refused, "sister-in-law, if you can't wash clean, don't say. If you want the milk to know, I'll be beaten. You'd better play with ertou at home."

"No, I'm going to play with the water," man Bao said. "I've agreed with my second sister-in-law. I'll teach you to read later. Then you'll take me to wash clothes."

Erya hesitated, "my mother promised?"

"Of course," man Bao said proudly, "I've been begging for a long time."

Erya was half convinced. As soon as she got home, she pulled her sister-in-law and went to the kitchen to find her mother.

Feng Shi is cooking breakfast. When she sees Erya, she asks her to come over and help burn the fire. Let man Bao go out and don't smoke in the kitchen.

Erya went to light a fire and asked, "Mom, my sister-in-law said you promised me to read?"

Feng looked at her with a small chest, looked at her manbao proudly and coaxed, "yes, yes, as long as you can earn money by reading, I will promise you."

Erya heard that there was this prerequisite, and her whole face was bitter.

When man Bao saw that she was about to cry, he couldn't help dragging her out and said to Feng: "second sister-in-law, Er Ya hasn't dried clothes yet. I'll dry clothes with her."

"Hey," Feng shouted in time, and man Bao dragged Erya away.

Feng had no choice but to burn the fire himself.

Man Bao pulls Erya into the yard and whispers, "are you stupid? They all say you want to read to make money. How can you make money if you don't read?"

The tears in Erya's eyes couldn't fall off. She knew it later, clarified this sentence, blinked, sobbed and asked, "still, can it be like this?"

"Anyway, the second sister-in-law promised."

Erya thought for a while and felt a little unreliable. "Well, if you still can't make money after learning for a period of time, won't my mother ask me to learn?"

Man Bao said positively, "that must be because you don't study well enough and deep enough, so you can't make money, so you have to continue to study in order to make money."

Erya nodded thoughtfully, "aunt, I think you're right."

Erya was happy again and went to hang clothes.

Man Bao was short and handed her clothes.

Two heads of sweat ran in from the outside. When they saw man Bao standing under the clothes hanger, they ran up and asked, "sister-in-law, where have you just gone? It's easy for me to find it."

"You're so stupid. I'm by the river."

The second head "Oh", then remembered something and jumped up and said, "milk doesn't ask you to go to the river. OK, second sister, you... Wuwuwuwuwu."

Erya covered his mouth and man Bao threatened him: "if you dare to shout out, I won't give you sugar in the future."

The two heads are very wronged. If you don't let me tell you, don't tell me!

With tears in his eyes, he changed his mouth, "sister-in-law, I've found all your manuscripts for you. Go back and have a look."

Man Bao: "don't worry, let's pick wild flowers. I've figured out how to make money."

Ertou and Erya feel very unreliable, but what can they do? This is what their sister-in-law asked, and Qian also said, "after breakfast, you will follow them to open up wasteland and take care of your sister-in-law."

So everyone went to the foot of the mountain again. Zhou Silang had been reclaiming wasteland for two days. The land at the foot of the mountain looked much better.

It's about one mu. Most of the weeds have been cut, but it's difficult to remove those vines. Some roots sell too deep. Zhou sirang may not be able to dig up three trees a day alone.

At this time, his hands were scratched a lot and he was squatting on the ground staring at the roots that could not be hoed out.

Man Bao also squatted down and looked, "it's so hard to hoe?"

On Thursday Lang looked at her with red eyes, "so why did you let me open up wasteland?"

Man Bao said boldly, "who let you gamble?"

Zhou Silang choked and continued to lower his head to grief. "The hoe is blunt and can't be dug out at all."

"I must have failed to find the right way," man Bao, who was reminded by Koko, snorted, dragged him aside and asked his five brothers and six brothers to dig.

On Friday Lang held a hoe and said, "dig so far?"

Man Bao waved his hand, "listen to me!"

On Friday, Lang could only listen to her. He took the hoed soil aside and slowly dug a big pit in the direction of the tree root. Then LIULANG pulled out the tree root with one effort.

Everyone was silent.

Man Bao hummed proudly and asked Zhou Silang to continue digging roots, while she and big head went up the mountain to find beautiful flowers.

By the way, she said her plan, "let the second brother make some beautiful baskets for us. We decorate the baskets with flowers like yesterday, and then sell the baskets."

"Isn't that selling baskets?" The second head said, "my father made up the basket. The money for selling it must be given to my father. He won't give it to us."

Man Bao said, "it's not the big basket. It's the small basket my second brother made for me."

Da Ya said, "that kind of small basket can't hold things. No one will buy it?"

"When my second brother made it up for me, didn't you all like it very much?"

The children tangled up, "like is like, but adults won't buy it."

Erya said, "the child has no money."

"Then we'll find rich children."

People think it's impossible, "how can a child have money?"

They don't, so they think children all over the world are the same. Similarly, man Bao said, "why not? I have money. There must be children like me. Maybe they have more money than me. Let's find them."

Man Bao put forward his ultimate goal, "we'll sell sugar in a basket at that time."

It was said that there was sugar in the basket, so everyone became more confident and followed in search of wild flowers.

Although it was autumn, there were many wild flowers on the mountain. Before long, everyone held flowers with full treasure. Big head and big Ya became bolder. They left their three brothers who were still working hard and went home happily.

Friday Lang and Zhou LIULANG looked envious. They only hated how old they were, so that they didn't take advantage of Yao Mei.

But looking at the fourth brother squatting to cut grass, they feel much better. At least they can go to the county tomorrow, but the fourth brother still wants to open up wasteland.

Man Bao runs home to find Zhou Erlang. As a result, Zhou Erlang and Zhou Dalang go to the ground.

Although the busy farming season has passed, the land should also be improved. Keep the land for a small half a year and sow it at the beginning of next spring.

When Zhou Erlang was away, man Bao could only find his father. "Dad, make me a small basket, just like the second brother made it for me."
