Chapter 409 Gossip

Qian Shi was stunned, and it took a long time to find his voice, "You, you...you are too bold, what if Master Bai doesn't buy wheat seeds from you, or doesn't buy so much?"

Man Bao said: "I will sell it at the market price of grain."

"Will it be a loss?"

"If you lose, you will lose a little bit, but I have calculated with Shanbao, and it is affordable," Man Bao reassured her, "Mother, don't worry."

Looking at the confident Man Bao, Qian's words of dissuasion were blocked in her heart. She reached out and touched her fair and smooth cheeks, and seemed to see the dark, naughty but filial and sensible young man back then. That's what I told her, saying that if he goes out, he will definitely be able to find the food to survive, but if he can't find it, he can live on his own...

Man Bao felt that Mother's appearance was a bit strange, so he couldn't help reaching out to hug her arm and asked, "Mother, what's wrong with you?"

Qian Shi returned to his senses and smiled at Man Bao, "It's okay, since you have all discussed it, let's do it."

Man Bao was overjoyed, "Mother, I knew you would be on my side."

Qian Shi nodded her forehead, "You are a clever ghost, but you have to keep this secret. You can't let your father know, and don't let Master Bai notice."

"Don't worry, mother, we have discussed it, and now Bai Er is living in Shan Bao's house."

Qian Shi smiled slightly, Master Bai is not a fool, he must know that they are going to do little tricks behind their backs, I am afraid he just wants to see how a few children are going to play.

However, Qian thought that Master Bai would not be able to guess it, because even if she had heard it once, she would still find it inconceivable.

The three children were not only incredibly courageous, but also so ambitious that they could come up with such a method.

Qian Shi went back to the house full of worries, and the old Zhou Tou, who had no worries, had already fallen asleep. The next day, he went out to visit under Man Bao's Yin Yin urging.

Man Bao, on the other hand, carried his own small bookcase and went to class with the abacus he bought.

Old Zhoutou held a cigarette stick and swayed on the country road with his hands behind his back. He first went to Zhou Daliang's house, which had a better relationship with his family.

Daliang's father is younger than Lao Zhoutou. He used to hang out behind Lao Zhoutou's ass. Over the years, the two families have helped each other, and the relationship has gotten closer and closer.

He walked to the front of the courtyard wall of Zhou Daliang's house, looked inside, and saw that Daliang's father was scolding Zhou Daliang, while Zhou Daliang was sitting in the courtyard rubbing wheat with his head down.

He pushed open the door and went in, glanced at the wheat in the yard and asked, "Why haven't the wheat ears been rubbed yet?"

"Uncle Jin is here, sit down, sit down." Daliang's father asked Zhou Daliang to move the chair, and couldn't help complaining: "A few children sleep until the sun rises three poles every day. It hurts, how can this rubbing wheat not hurt your hands?"

Zhou Daliang moved out of the chair and asked, "Uncle, are you finished rubbing the wheat in your house?"

Lao Zhoutou put shredded tobacco in the tobacco rod, and when he heard the words, he said, "It's over early, and it can be put into the warehouse after two days of drying."

In the entire Qili Village, the fastest one is Manbao's small farm. First, they hired a lot of people, and second, they didn't have much land, only about 20 mu, and they were finished in three or four days. Drying and threshing are all done by hired workers.

Later, the long-term workers only need to turn over the sun, and the sun was good some time ago, so it will be put into storage soon.

The old Zhoutou's family is a little slower, but it is also the fastest family in the village. They are still harvesting wheat in the field. Their family has already harvested all the wheat in the field and brought it home, and started plowing the fields and planting rice seedlings.

When the family can finally plough the fields and plant the rice, they have already planted the twenty mu of wheat fields with rice seedlings, and they have also threshed all the wheat...

So at the beginning, take a step slowly, and then it will only get slower and slower.

However, Zhou Daliang and his son firmly believe that the reason why their old Zhou family has been so efficient is because they have many family members.

Especially with many children.

When the adults are transporting wheat to the house, the children are drying the wheat ears at home, stepping on the steps and taking a pat...

When the men go to plow the fields, the women rub and thresh the wheat at home. Can this be faster?

Dad Daliang sighed again, watching Zhou Daliang sigh, their family is a lot less, and the son is lazy.

He used to hang out with Shiroulang and were lazy together, but Shiroulang is more diligent now, and his son is still so lazy.

Daliang's father was worried, he didn't want to see his son because of this worry, so he adjusted the direction of the stool, turned his back to his son, and asked while rubbing the wheat, "Uncle Jin has something to do with me?"

Old Zhou Tou glanced at him with disgust, and pointed out: "You can't sit when rubbing wheat, you have to stand, wrap your head and face with a piece of cloth, if you feel pain in your hands, wrap your hands too, and then stand and rub hard. , you can finish rubbing in half a morning, how long can you rub while sitting?"

After he finished speaking, he said, "It's okay, isn't this last year, did you all get the wheat seeds from my family? The Bai family thinks our wheat seeds are good, and they want to exchange wheat for our seeds. I want to ask you. Happy or not."

"A pound for a pound?"

"Nonsense, if you don't exchange a pound for a pound, you still exchange a pound and a half for a pound for him."

"It's not impossible," Dad Daliang thought for a while and said, "But their wheat must be as good as ours. Don't say it, Uncle Jin, your wheat seed is really good, not to mention the length of the ear, the grain is still good. It's full, and I estimate that my family's wheat harvest this year is at least a few more bags than the previous year's."

While they were talking, a few nearby houses heard the voice and looked over. When Old Zhoutou saw it, he simply waved to them, "Come on, let's talk."

People passing by, as well as several nearby neighbors, think about it, now there is nothing particularly big at home except rubbing wheat and drying wheat, so I simply leave the family affairs to my mother-in-law and children, and hold my hands behind my back. walked past.

When Daliangniang came out of the kitchen, the yard was full of people and she had no choice but to move stools for them.

Everyone was sitting in the yard, and it was not good to talk with empty hands.

"Why does Uncle Jin come out and walk around today?"

"Someday he's not free. There are six sons outside, and a rich aunt and a bunch of daughters-in-law inside. Uncle Jin is now enjoying himself."

"Enjoy happiness?" Old Zhou Tou hummed, "Then you marry the daughter-in-law of the fifth and sixth of my family."

"Hey, by the way, the fifth should have a wife, right?"

The old Zhoutou thought for a while, and felt that the boy was not in a hurry, but he could look around, so he said: "It's okay to say kiss, who knows which family has a good girl to tell my family that, and let the two go back. Children look at each other."

"I think the fifth one will have great prospects in the future. He is much stronger than the fourth one.

Old Zhou Tou nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, I also think that the fifth is stronger than the fourth, so the girl you are talking about can't be worse than the Fang family."
