Chapter 20

No, no, no, Man Bao decided to do it by herself, so she asked Keke not to remove the picture, she just clumsily arranged her flower basket according to the picture.

Erya saw that the little aunt was spoiling flowers, and she didn't care about going to school to weave bamboo, so she ran over quickly, "Little aunt, what are you doing?"

"I'm going to arrange flower baskets."

Erya said: "The flowers are all mutilated by you."

Man Bao blinked, threw away the flower decisively, moved his butt back, and let Er Ya go on, "I'll teach you."

Everyone sounds funny, she can make flowers like this herself, how about teaching Erya?

However, Man Bao really taught Erya. She was unlucky, but she had a lot of ideas. She instructed Erya to wrap the flowers around the bamboo basket.

Erya didn't want to do what she said, but if you don't do what she said, auntie, she can keep talking in your ear, and you must be forced to listen to her.

Erya can't do anything about it, just thinking about wild flowers, there are so many on the mountain, it's not enough to go up the mountain to pick them, otherwise you can pick a little more on the road tomorrow.

Thinking about it this way, Erya tangled and tangled as she said, and Erya found that the bamboo basket had become a little different.

After the entanglement came out, I put a few more flowers in it, Erya looked at the ugly bamboo basket made by this grandmother and was stunned.

"Oh my God," Erya couldn't help but exclaimed, "I am so powerful!"

Man Bao happily clapped his little hands and tried his best to claim credit, "It's mainly me who taught you. Of course, Erya, you're also very good. You can do whatever I want you to do."

Old Zhoutou also saw this flower basket, nodded slightly and said: "It's okay to look at, but it's not something you should eat or drink. It's also eye-catching. Who buys it?"

Qian Shi also liked it very much, and said, "This one is not well made, so I won't take it away. Let's keep it at home for your sister-in-law to play with."

Erya responded with a crisp sound and began to arrange other flower baskets.

The first time it was hand-made, it was more cooked the second time, and Manbao has other styles. Adjust the position and method of wrapping, and then change the color of the flower, and it becomes a different flower basket. pretty.

Man Bao felt that he had to take Erya to the county town tomorrow, because in this way, if the flower basket was damaged, it could be repaired, and the fifth and sixth brothers would not be entangled in the flowers.

She thought so, and she told her father the same.

Old Zhou Tou thought, since all the daughters are released anyway, it's okay to have an extra granddaughter.

But thinking that the big girl is bigger than the second girl, it makes no sense that the second girl will go and the big girl will not go, so she waved her hand and said, "Take both the big girl and the second girl with you."

Da Ya and Er Ya couldn't help cheering. Da Tou and Er Tou were so envious, they pestered the old Zhou Tou and said, "Grandpa, grandpa, what about us?"

"You stay at home to help your fourth uncle open up the wasteland, go to mow the grass, and pick up some stones. So many people go to the county town, don't eat, don't drink, your father and the others have to take care of you, so they don't have time."

Datou immediately said: "We don't eat bread, we just drink water, and we don't let Dad bring it. There are fifth and sixth uncles."

Old Zhoutou ruthlessly refused, "No, it's such a long way to go back and forth, and if you don't eat, when you go back and starve, you have to pay for medicine."

The two of them looked at the sister in unison.

Old Zhou Tou also glared at Man Bao.

Man Bao is very aware of current affairs. She felt that she couldn't make any progress, otherwise she might be deprived of her right to go out, so she quietly comforted Datou and Ertou, "When I come back, I will give you candy, if I make money this time, let's go. I'll take you there next time."

Datou and Ertou could only bow their heads in disappointment, "Okay, little aunt, you have to keep your word."

"Don't worry, when did I stop talking?"

By the time the family came back from the fields for dinner, the old Zhoutou and Qian Shi had already made twenty-five bamboo baskets for them.

Man Bao was so happy that he wanted to wrap all the bamboo baskets with flowers, so Da Ya stopped learning bamboo weaving and came to help Er Ya.

Seeing the eldest brother and the second brother, Man Bao also unceremoniously pulled them in and asked them to continue to help make small bamboo baskets.

Zhou Dalang and Zhou Zhoulang also felt that it was a waste of time and bamboo sticks, but because Man Bao insisted, and both parents went off to coax Yaomei, they had no choice but to coax.

Soon, the discarded bamboo strips left by Zhou Yilang were used up, Man Bao aimed at the intact bamboo strips, and Lao Zhoutou said solemnly: "That's the bamboo strips that your second brother hasn't used yet, You can't waste it, and you have done fifty, which is enough."

In fact, if she can sell one, Lao Zhoutou thinks it is a miracle.

Man Bao can only give up the idea of ​​continuing to harm the second brother Bamboo Strips, and wrap beautiful flowers with Erya Daya. Of course, she is responsible for moving her mouth, and Da Ya Erya is responsible for doing things.

The flowers and plants they picked at noon soon ran out, but there were still about 20 bamboo baskets that were not decorated with flowers, so Lao Zhoutou waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's pick it up after dinner, and leave. It's a long time before the sun goes down."

He also warned, "Be sure to go home before sunset, but don't be hit by dew."

Everyone responded happily, and quickly ran up to the mountain after dinner. Of course, Wuwu Lang and Saturday Lang would follow.

Old Zhou Tou looked at Shiro's dying appearance, and scolded: "You go too, your sister is going up the mountain, and you, a brother, don't know how to take care of it?"

Thu Lang went down for three days in a row, and what he did was the best physical strength to open up the wasteland. Once he sat down, he didn't want to move. At this time, he was reprimanded by his father, so he could only slowly get up from the stool and go out.

Old Man Zhou was angry when he saw him like this, turned his head and said to Zhou Dalang and others: "You should pay attention to him in the future. He will not be allowed to go to the county town for two years. If he finds out that he is gambling, chop off the hand I gave him."

Zhou Dalang, Tuesday Lang and Wednesday Lang both responded.

"Okay, it's been so many days, and you're too angry. You should think about how to save some money to pay off the debt you owe," Qian said, "Boss, go to the county town tomorrow and ask if you have any questions. If there is no work, if there is, you don’t have to come back, just do the work there, and let the old five and the six bring the children back.”

Zhou Dalang said: "I'm afraid that the jobs in the county will not be easy to find."

"It's hard to find you, but you can't find it at home, you can't sit still at home," Qian said, "I don't know what Guanjing will be in the spring next year. If the weather is as smooth as this year, even if you can't save money, at least you won't be short of food. Wear. But if it is dry or flooded, it will be difficult."

The old Zhoutou touched the cigarette stick and said, "Don't worry, I went to ask the third uncle, and the third uncle said that even if this year is not as good, it will not be much worse."

Qian Shi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words.

The third uncle is the best crop handle in the village. The old man who has grown old can basically see the weather in the next six months.

Since he said that, the wind and rain next year should not be too bad.

Qian's contented, he picked a lot from the mountain, and the full treasure of all kinds of wild flowers and fine grass was also satisfied, and felt that tomorrow must be a good day.

The system just watched silently without saying a word.

However, the next day, when Manbao got up from the bed and ran to see the flower baskets she had installed, she found that under the dim firelight, the flowers in the small flower baskets she had placed below were all folded or lost.

I had a dream last night. In the dream, I went to set up a street stall in desperation. I can’t remember what it was selling, because it’s not important. The important thing is that a handsome policeman found me, gave me a photo, and let me Keep an eye out for this guy, he's a drug dealer, and he might come here to talk to someone recently, and he asked me to take a picture of the guy who did it.

I agreed, and then the man came, and he was shopping behind me. I was so frightened that I didn't dare to take a picture, and planned to wait until he left.

As a result, when he left, I forgot whether he was standing in the row behind me to buy things, or the things in the second row behind me. Did I talk to the three people here, or the three people behind...

So I was stunned and woke up from the dream in a panic.
