Chapter 163 Rarely Confused
Man Bao asked Xiao Qian for money, but Xiao Qian did not refuse to give it, but asked: "How much did you sell it to me per pound?"
Xiao Qian smiled and bargained with her, "Before, Wulang and the others picked yam beans to sell, but shopkeeper Zheng from the drug store said they had never heard of them being edible, and they couldn't sell them outside, so they ate them at home, so the price is
You can't cum anymore."
Man Bao couldn't help scratching her little head. She really didn't understand pricing. In the past, except for candies, everything she sold was based on market prices.
But there were no yam beans on the market, and of course there was no reference price. Moreover, it was her favorite sister-in-law who was buying the things. Manbao was momentarily embarrassed.
Xiao Qian told her, "You and Lao Wu brought back the seeds of this yam, and it was Lao Si and Lao Wu who planted them to take care of them. After all, Datou and the others also have a share. Everyone who gets the money can benefit from it."
Score, by the way, since you took the money for yam beans from my sister-in-law, you will have to pay my sister-in-law if you eat yam beans and candied haws in the future."
Manbao wrinkled his little nose and said, "Sister-in-law, I used to eat it and you never asked me to pay for it."
"That was before, don't you ask me for money now?"
Manbao lowered his head and thought about it, but he always felt that something was wrong.
Xiao Qian raised her like a daughter. She fed her more than three pigs when she was a child. Seeing her distress, she held her in her arms with pity and taught her slowly, "Manbao, we are a family, and our brothers are
You have to settle accounts clearly, but that is about big things. Only by being confused about small things can the family live in harmony."
Man Bao looked at his sister-in-law doubtfully.
Xiao Qian smiled and asked, "Then let me ask you, who is tending the vegetable garden in the field?"
"Mother, eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law and eldest sister."
"Look, you didn't grow vegetables, and neither did the fourth, fifth, and sixth children. Do they have to pay for eating the vegetables at home in the future?" Xiao Qian said with a smile: "That's not how money is calculated. A family, like this
There’s no need to worry about the little things.”
Man Bao seemed to understand a little, and after a while she touched her palms and said, "I understand, this is what Da Yuan's wife often said: a bowl of water cannot be balanced."
The expression on Xiao Qian's face was a little hard to explain. She asked, "When did you go to talk to Sister Zhang again?"
Because of the homestead matter, the relationship between the Zhou family and Zhou Dayuan's family was a little tense. During this period, when Xiao Qian saw Zhang passing by, she didn't even ask.
Man Bao said happily: "I don't want to talk to her. It's too hard to talk to her. She was talking to someone in the village. When she saw me coming back from school, she screamed so loudly and said,
Their family only has one son, and no matter how partial they are, they always favor the big donkey, unlike some families who have six or seven children, but their preferences are all over the place..."
Man Bao pinched his throat and learned how to imitate it so perfectly that Xiao Qian was stunned, as if he saw a disdainful Zhang wandering in front of him.
Man Bao also imitated Zhang and twisted his body, and continued to say in a loud voice: "This bowl of water cannot be leveled. It's okay for the children to be young now. When all six of them become biological children, they will be old. See them...
How do you spend your days like this?"
Man Bao put down his hands, sat down in his sister-in-law's arms again, and asked with a smile, "Sister-in-law, is it like Dayuan's wife said, when there are many people in the family, we cannot keep a bowl of water flat, and we have to learn how to
If you are confused, otherwise you will care too much and your family will not be harmonious."
Xiao Qian was stunned for a while before she could figure out the cause-and-effect relationship. Not to mention, it was just like what Man Bao said. So Zhang was right to say that their parents-in-law were partial?
Xiao Qian looked down at the little person in her arms, couldn't help but say "ouch", hugged her and said, "Why is our Manbao so smart, but my sister-in-law is so rare."
Man Bao laughed loudly and said proudly: "I knew that my sister-in-law must love me the most, and it hurts me more than my three heads, so my sister-in-law is also partial."
In this case, Manbao naturally favored her sister-in-law, so she decided not to pay for it, and she could just pick the yam beans from the field as she pleased.
While Xiao Qian and Man Bao were talking in the inner room, Zhou Dalang made a wooden cart toy for his youngest son in the outer room, which he had promised him a long time ago.
Hearing the conversation inside, Zhou Dalang felt for the first time that his wife's eloquence was so good that she could convince Man Bao.
You must know that Man Bao has the same mouth as her father. They have been the only ones who have been able to persuade people since they were young. How can anyone else convince them?
After Man Bao left happily, Zhou Dalang put down the wood in his hand and walked into the inner room, "You are really smart, you can actually take money out of that child's hand."
Xiao Qian threw the clothes she was about to fold on him and said angrily: "Shut up, do you think you can say that about your sister? Man Bao is a filial piety."
That's right, looking at her attitude towards her mother and Xiao Qian, it can be seen that this child is indeed a clever girl.
The matter was settled like that, and no one talked about the price of yam beans again.
There is no problem with Manbao, and of course Zhoulang and the others have no problem. Privately, they also think this is normal. For someone like Manbao who clearly distinguishes every division, it is fresh.
However, this also has the advantage of avoiding the uncertainty of how they will allocate money after each payment.
The principle of distribution has been set. Every time they pay the public money, the remaining money will be distributed in proportion.
Although sometimes some people can only get a few pennies, but every day a few pennies come in, and they accumulate a lot.
Especially in the countryside, if you want to buy things, you have to walk a long way to the market, or wait for the salesman to come.
In the past, as long as a salesman came to buy something in the village, Datou Daya and the others could only follow the adults and watch, drooling at the various things on the salesman's load but having no money to buy them. But it is different now. Every time the salesman comes,
Next, they are the new force in sales.
There is no need to buy candies, since they are not as delicious as those given by my sister-in-law, but other toys or small pastries are very popular.
Man Bao once even encouraged Zhou Lang to become a salesman. In Man Bao's words, "It's so fun. You can go out of the village every day and go wherever you want. You can see many people and many strange things."
of plants and animals.”
Zhou Lang sneered at this and said to her: "You think the salesman is just for fun. He has to carry a load of goods through the West Village and stroll around the East Village. It is very tiring. If you are not careful, you may get robbed. Then I will
If you had been braver and protected the goods and refused to pay, you would have lost your fourth brother."
Man Bao was stunned for a moment and asked, "Are there any robbers on the road?"
"Yes, there are bandits."
