Chapter 99 Ginger

Man Bao was sent home crying by a maid of the Bai family. In order to coax her, Liu Shi also packed her a lot of cakes, but Man Bao took the cakes and insisted not to forgive Bai Shanbao, and decided not to make friends with him. .

Zhou Family:  …

After they heard how Man Bao quarreled and fought with the young son of the Bai family, they ignored it. Isn't it normal for such children to quarrel and fight?

Even Qian Shi didn't comfort her much, only let her wash and sleep.

Man Bao was quickly distracted, and when he fell asleep, he forgot everything.

When she woke up, Tuesday Lang had already taken Wu Zhou Lang to Daji. Today is not a market, but there will also be meat stalls in Dali Village. To buy meat, you have to go to the county town or Dali Village.

Man Bao had nothing to do, so she took out two pieces of ginger that she bought yesterday. She decided to try to see if she could grow, and leave the rest to the spring.

Of course, Manbao couldn't do it alone, so she found Da Ya and Er Ya.

The two sisters didn't know that ginger was more expensive than meat, so they took the little aunt with her when they heard that she was going to grow vegetables in the vegetable garden.

Man Bao kept muttering, "I want fertile land, fertile land..."

Daya pointed to a tunnel: "Plant it here, the soil here is thicker, so it must be fat."

Then Man Bao took out the ginger pieces and gave them to them, and pointed with his little finger: "Cut it, cut it here, cut it here, and then all germinate, you can plant a lot of pieces."

Da Ya asked, "Can you grow crops in such a cold day?"

Man Bao scratched his face and said, "Who knows, give it a try."

Keke was a little helpless, and pointed: "You can spread straw on it to prevent the cold."

Man Bao was amazed, "Can straw prevent the cold?"

"Of course, some people also use straw to make beds and sleep on them to keep out the cold."

Man Bao thought thoughtfully, "Then the leaves can also keep out the cold? The grass can also, the reed can also... ah, we can use a lot of things."

Man Bao and Daya Erya dug a pit and planted ginger pieces, then poured a little water, then ran home together, touched a handful of straw, and scattered them on the ground to keep them warm from the cold.

In order to make them cover the straw quilt tightly, Man Bao also stomped on the straw.

When Daya and Erya saw it, they thought it was the planting characteristic of ginger, and stepped on it.

Keke, who witnessed the whole process: ... Forget it, anyway, if it is buried now, it will not sprout. It is better to wait for the spring to remind the host to loosen the soil.

After Man Bao finished planting the ginger, the second brother and the others hadn't come back, and Zhou Dalang and Shizulang had already gone to Bai's house to start work. She had nothing to do when she was idle, so she touched her book and ran to the school to read.

As for why you have to come to the school to study, it is of course because of habit. Anyway, the husband does not close the door, the door of the classroom is open, and she can go in and study.

As a result, when he ran outside the classroom, he heard the sound of reading inside. Man Bao ran in curiously to see that Bai Shanbao was sitting in his seat reading.

When he looked up and saw Man Bao, he pouted and said, "You are so lazy, I have already read three texts."

"You're just lazy," Man Bao said, "I planted a lot of ginger when I woke up in the morning."

Man Bao ran over and sat down, and Bai Shanbao pushed her a paper bag, "Here, the sweet-scented osmanthus cake you want to eat."

Man Bao swallowed his saliva and opened it. It was fragrant and sweet. It was her favorite sweet-scented osmanthus cake. After taking a bite, she found that the cake was still hot, and was even happier, so she also took out a handful of candy for him. , "Well, there are red and yellow ones, don't tell others."

Bai Shanbao was also happy, hid the candy in his pocket, and nodded fiercely.

The two children are reconciled again.

Man Bao said: "I want to go today, how about you?"

Bai Shanbao said: "I'm going too! My mother also prepared a food box for me, and there are a lot of delicious things in it, but I'm afraid of the cold, but I told her that we have a fire, so I'm not afraid of the cold."

Man Bao nodded, "My second brother and the others will still cook dishes today. When your food is cold, I will ask my second brother to warm it for you."

Bai Shanbao expressed his gratitude.

The Bai family still sent Daji and a donkey cart to follow them, but on Tuesday, Lang still went to borrow a cart. A few children rode the donkey cart, but they couldn't put everything on it. After all, it was their own business, right?

Bai Erlang didn't want to go, but was forced by his father to climb into the donkey cart crying, which attracted the unanimous contempt of Bai Shanbao and Manbao.

I'm not ashamed to cry when I'm so old.

Mrs. Bai didn't understand this very much. She felt sorry for her son, and couldn't help but told her mother-in-law that she wanted her to plead for her son.

As a result, as soon as Mrs. Bai spoke, Master Bai said, "Mother, I'm doing this for the children's sake. Instead of staying at home to fight cats and dogs, it's better to go out and see."

"Go to see a group of laborers working, what insight do you have?" The old lady Bai said, "Didn't you listen to Erlang? The Zhou family went to make money, so why should they do anything? How old are the two children? What article?"

Master Bai said: "Mother, you have a lot of knowledge here. You didn't see the booklet they remembered, otherwise, my aunt loves her children more than you, why did she let Shanbao go?"

The old lady Bai didn't speak.

Master Bai said: "It's a pity that this kid is not obedient. Except for a few pages with his handwriting, the rest of the two volumes of notes are all written by Shanbao, which shows how lazy he is."

The old lady Bai didn't dare to speak anymore, for fear that she would not be able to plead for mercy, but instead made her son angry with the younger grandson.

On Tuesday, Lang and the others soon arrived on the official road. Today, the Lao Dings are digging and repairing water conservancy, mainly digging ditches that can be irrigated. This is more difficult than building roads.

On Tuesday, Lang took a look at Lang on Wednesday, and then bowed and said hello to the two officers under the introduction of Lang on Friday.

You don't have to ask questions today, you have a lot of free time.

Man Bao just gathered firewood in a festive manner. She dragged the firewood together and asked Sixth Brother to come and get it.

Friday Lang has already come here to do it once and knows how to do it quickly. When the second brother was on the stovetop, he directly picked up the bucket to fetch water.

Yes, yesterday they only brought one wooden barrel, and today they just brought a pair.

He brought water over, put the chopped bones into the kettle, and poured the water into the fire.

The rest of the work is too late, that is, the bone soup has to be boiled for a long time before it tastes good.

Man Bao and Bai Shanbao ran over dragging a big branch, and then they left and ran up to join in the fun, "Second brother, what are you going to cook?"

"Pork stewed cabbage, pork stewed radish, five cents a spoon."

It doesn't matter if anyone buys it, but it doesn't matter if no one buys it. He doesn't prepare much. He plans to save a little for the third child and take the rest home for the family to eat.
