Chapter 1314
The sun came in through the window. Man Bao turned over and got up with a lazy waist.
The family had eaten too early. They had nothing to do in winter. Most of them went out to play. Only a few people were still at home.
Xiao Qian was preparing the annual rites of his family according to Qian's instructions. It was about to celebrate the new year, and ran into man Bao. When they came back from the capital, the things they gave to their relatives must be a little more generous.
Especially uncle Qian's.
Seeing man Bao coming, Xiao Qian wiped his hands and asked, "wake up. You're hungry. My sister-in-law will give you a bowl of noodles."
Man Bao had slipped into the kitchen, lifted the lid of the pot, saw another white steamed bread, and said, "no, just eat steamed bread."
Qian glanced and said, "just cook her an egg with steamed bread. Don't go down there."
Little Qian answered, but he not only boiled eggs for man Bao, but also fried vegetables for her.
Man Bao is very happy.
She said with a smile: "early in the morning, Wulang said that you can rarely eat green vegetables in the capital. As soon as winter comes, you can only eat cabbage and some dried vegetables. The weather is still warm this year, and the vegetables planted in the vegetable field can live, so I gave more money back."
Man Bao took the steamed bread and watched them collect. He asked, "Mom, where are my father?"
"I'm out," said Qian. "I'm sure I've been around the village bragging and wearing the fox fur coat you gave him."
Don't say, the fox fur coat is still very warm, plush and windproof. Qili Village is in the mountains. It feels chilly even when it's out of the sun. It feels better when it's around the brazier in winter.
But the fire basin costs too much firewood and there are many people in the family, so it doesn't rise often. Now I have this coat. I won't feel cold when I go out.
Qian likes it very much, let alone Lao Zhou tou.
Man Bao also wanted to visit the village, so he grabbed the steamed bread and ran out after eating the breakfast. Xiao Qian wanted to hold her and measured her feet to make shoes.
Qian smiled and said, "I think she is almost as tall as Da Ya now. Just do it for her according to Da Ya's feet."
Xiao Qian responded and took the divided annual gift back to the main house.
Man Bao was about to run to Bai's house to find Bai Shan and Bai Erlang. As a result, when he got to the bridge, he saw the two of them coming from there and the three met on the bridge.
Bai Shan said, "we want to go to the small farm. Are you going?"
Man Bao immediately changed his mind, "OK."
Daji has driven the car out, but it's not a horse, but a mule. The mule walks more steadily than the horse on this bumpy road in the countryside.
Bai Guanshi went with them. He also sat in the car and introduced Zhuangzi to them this year.
This year, Zhuangzi lost the income from new wheat seeds, so he lost a lot of money, but he also made a lot of money. Because of the good harvest of grain, he also made a lot of money selling it.
In addition to grain, there are also a lot of ginger, fruit trees and chickens and ducks planted in the village. Bailiff knows that this small farm is the main source of the three small owners' expenses outside, so he is very interested.
Bai Shan didn't dislike the bumpy car. He checked the account directly on the car. Bai Erlang was dizzy and didn't go to see it. He just asked him, "do you have enough money to pay me back?"
Steward Bai glanced at their young master curiously. It is not supposed to be the young master who borrowed money from them?
Why are you doing the opposite now?
Bai Shan silently calculated the sum of all the benefits, nodded and said, "enough."
Bai Erlang was happy. "When will you pay me back?"
"Pay back the money," Bai Shan looked at him curiously. "Are you in urgent need of money now?"
Bai Erlang said, "it's not urgent. My cousin borrowed money from me last night. He said he wanted to do business and lacked capital. I thought his business was good, so I wanted to become a shareholder, so I agreed."
Bai Shan and man Bao were curious, "your cousin?"
Bai Erlang nodded. "My cousin and cousin are at my house. Haven't you seen them yet? I'll take you to see them when I go back in the afternoon."
Not to mention man Bao, Bai Shan has never seen Bai Erlang's cousin, because he always goes to his uncle's house, and his uncle's children never come. On the contrary, his uncle occasionally comes back, man Bao and Bai Shan have met.
Bai Shan asked, "are they coming to celebrate the new year?"
Bai Erlang: "I don't know."
He thought for a moment and said, "come and borrow money? I only went back to the house last night, and my cousin came to borrow money from me. "
Man Bao looked at Bai Shan and said, "you shouldn't be cheated by your cousin?"
"No," Bai Erlang said confidently, "I've made it clear that he really wants to do business. He has even found a shop, but he doesn't have enough money, so he doesn't have a shop and doesn't have enough money to purchase."
"Then why not borrow money from your father?" Bai Shan always felt wrong, "your uncle's family is not short of money."
"You don't know what adults think. They think we can't do anything, so they don't give money at all," Bai Erlang said. "My cousin borrowed it from me because he couldn't borrow it from my father."
Man Bao said, "my mother often said that the old man said that when the street lamp is on, you might as well ask your father's opinion and don't ask you to listen to him. Think about it after you ask?"
Bai Shan also nodded. "Uncle Tang is much smarter than you. You never see him intervene with so much money in your hand. It can be seen that he is an open-minded man. You might as well ask him why he refuses to lend money to your cousin."
Bai Erlang may not listen to what others say, but Bai Shan and man Bao say he listens. The three grew up together and have different feelings, and he knows that they are both smarter than him.
As they spoke, the car arrived at their Chuang Tzu. Bai Shan jumped out of the car and reached out to help man Bao. The three looked back at the road and thought, "the road seems spacious and flat."
Bailiff smiled and said, "all the wheat and rice collected this year are beaten out here to dry. In addition, we have to go out to sell eggs occasionally. There are many entrances and exits, so it seems difficult to go this way. During the slack season, the old lady hired short-time workers to straighten the road. At least it's easier to get in and out. "
Bai Shan nodded and the three went forward together.
It belongs to the messy rock and land at the foot of Langshan Mountain on Thursday. At this time, five small courtyards were built there. The steward Bai said, "the field is busy, and two long-term workers were hired. This is the house they built. This one is the warehouse for storing the output of Chuang Tzu, which is guarded by an old concierge of our family."
It also means staring at the four long-term workers.
In other places, three large fenced open spaces are blocked. There are all chickens in the yard. The yard is fairly clean. Each yard is covered with thatched low chicken sheds. Chickens will live in it at night.
The three also saw a very familiar goose inside.
The three people who were chased by man Bao's geese only felt cold on their backs. Qi Qi stopped and turned his head and asked, "why do you still keep geese here?"
