Chapter 18 Flower Basket

The Zhou family never let Manbao approach the riverside. This was the first time that Manbao had contacted the river water so close. She happily soaked her hands in the water and had a lot of fun.

When she turned her head, she saw Erya burying her head and rubbing her clothes. She also pulled a piece of clothes and rubbed them like hers, then put them in the water and stirred them, and then wringed them out as everyone was like.

Erya looked at her silently, and after she finished washing, she took it to wash it. She quickly washed her clothes and pulled her sister-in-law home. She was ready to go back and get beaten.

Manbao was also excited, "The river water is so cool, it's so fun, Erya, I'll accompany you to wash your clothes in the future."

"No," Erya refused, "My sister-in-law, don't you say you can't clean it, but if you want to let the milk know, I will be beaten up. You should play with Ertou at home."

"No, I'm going to play with water," said Man Bao: "I have already agreed with my second sister-in-law. I will teach you how to read in the future, so you will take me to wash clothes."

Erya hesitated a little, "My mother agreed?"

"Of course," Manbao said proudly: "I have been begging for a long time."

Erya was half-believing and half-doubted, and as soon as she got home, she pulled her sister-in-law to the kitchen to find her mother.

Feng was cooking breakfast. When he saw Erya, he asked her to come and help burn the fire, so that Manbao would go out and not smoke it in the kitchen.

Erya asked while going to burn the fire, "Mom, my sister said you promised me to recognize words?"

Feng glanced at her little chest, looked at her Manbao proudly, and said coaxingly: "Yes, yes, as long as you can make money by recognizing words, I will promise you."

Erya heard that there were still this prerequisite, and her whole face became bitter.

Seeing that she was about to cry, Manbao couldn't help but drag her out and said to Feng: "Second sister-in-law, Erya hasn't dried her clothes yet. I'll go drying her clothes with her."

"Oh," Feng had no time to shout, and Manbao pulled Erya away.

Feng had no choice but to burn the fire by himself.

Manbao pulled Erya into the yard and whispered, "Are you stupid? You said you should make money by recognizing words. Then how can you make money by recognizing words?"

The tears in Erya's eyes were about to fall off. She realized that, she clarified the sentence, blinked, sobbed and asked, "How about this?"

"Anyway, it was my second sister-in-law who agreed in person."

Erya thought about it and felt it was a bit unreliable, "Then, if I still can't make money after studying for a while, my mother wouldn't ask me to study anymore?"

Manbao said seriously: "That must be because you didn't learn well and didn't have enough depth, so you can't make money. So in order to make money, you have to continue learning."

Erya nodded thoughtfully, "My sister-in-law, I think you're right."

Erya got happy again and went to dry her clothes.

Manbao was short and handed her clothes on the side.

Ertou ran in from outside with sweat. When he saw Manbao standing under the clothes drying rack, he ran up and asked, "My sister-in-law, where did you just go? It's easy for me to find it."

"You are so stupid, I'm right by the river."

Ertou said "Oh", then remembered something, jumped up and said, "My mother won't ask you to go to the riverside, okay, second sister, you... wuwu."

Erya covered his mouth, and Manbao threatened him, "If you dare to shout out, I won't give you candy in the future."

Ertou feels very wronged. If you don’t let me tell you, don’t tell me!

Ertou's eyes were filled with tears, but he changed his mouth, "My sister-in-law, I've found all your manuscripts for you. You can go back and read them."

Manbao: "Don't worry, let's pick wild flowers. I've already figured out how to make money."

Ertou and Erya think it is unreliable, but what can I do? This is what my sister-in-law asks, and Qian also said, "After eating breakfast, you can go to open up the land together and take care of your sister-in-law."

So everyone ran to the foot of the mountain again. Zhou Silang came to open the land for two consecutive days, and the land at the foot of the mountain looked much better.

It's about one acre, and most of the weeds have been cut, but it's difficult to remove those vines and trees. Some of the roots are sold too deep. Zhou Silang may not be able to dig out three trees a day by himself.

At this time, his hands were scratched a lot, and he was squatting on the ground and staring at the root of the tree that could not be hoed.

Manbao also squatted down and looked, "It's so difficult to hoe?"

Zhou Silang looked at her with red eyes, "So why did you let me clear the land?"

Man Bao was confident, "Who asked you to gamble?"

Zhou Silang was choked and continued to lower his head to his sadness, "The hoe is blunt and cannot be dug out at all."

"It must be that I haven't found the right method," Man Bao, who was reminded by Keke, snorted, dragged him aside, and asked the fifth and sixth brothers to dig.

Zhou Wulang held the hoe and said, "Dig so far?"

Manbao waved his hand generously, "Listen to me!"

Zhou Wulang could only listen to her, put the hoeed soil aside, slowly dug a big hole in the direction of the tree roots, and then Liulang pulled the tree roots with one force.

Everyone was speechless.

Man Bao hummed proudly and asked Zhou Silang to continue digging the roots of the tree, while she and Datou and the others went up the mountain to find beautiful flowers.

By the way, she said her plan, "Let me help us make some good-looking baskets. We just need to arrange the baskets with flowers just like yesterday, and then sell them."

"Isn't that selling baskets?" Ertou said: "The baskets are made up by my father. I will definitely give them to my father for the money they sell, and he won't give them to us."

Man Bao said: "It's not that big basket, it's the small basket that my second brother made for me."

Da Ya said: "That kind of small basket cannot be filled with things, so no one will buy it?"

"Didn't you all like it when my second brother made it up for me?"

The children got confused, "I like it, but adults don't want to buy it."

Erya said: "The child has no money."

"Then let's go find rich kids."

Everyone thinks it is impossible, "How can a child have money?"

They didn't, so they felt that the children all over the world were the same. Similarly, Man Bao said: "How come there is no? I have money. Then there must be children like me, maybe they have more money than me, so we will find them."

Only then did Manbao put forward his ultimate goal, "We will sell the candy in the basket."

I heard that there was candy in the basket, so everyone was more confident and followed them to find wild flowers.

Although it was autumn, there were a lot of wild flowers on the mountain. It didn't take long for everyone to hold flowers in their arms. With Manbao, Datou and Daya became bolder. They left the three brothers who were still working hard and went home happily.

Zhou Wulang and Zhou Liulang were envious of their eyes, and only hated how old they were, so they did not take advantage of their younger sister.

But when they turned around and looked at the fourth brother who was squatting and mowing the grass, they felt much better. After all, they could go to the county town tomorrow, but the fourth brother still had to clear the land.

Manbao ran home to find Zhou Erlang, but Zhou Erlang and Zhou Dalang went to the ground.

Although the busy farming season has passed, the land needs to be renovated and kept for half a year, so that it will be easier to sow seeds in spring next year.

Zhou Erlang was not here, so Manbao could only find his father, "Dad, you can make up a small basket for me, just like the second brother made up for me."
