The Zhou family hadn't had late meals yet, but the food was ready. It was obviously waiting for them. As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, Datou led his younger brother and sister below to rush up.

They didn't care about the cart walking, and they climbed up all the time. When Zhou Dalang and Zhou Erlang saw it, their eyes were laughing into a crack. While scolding them, they took the time to stretch out their hand to pile the children on the cart.

From afar, Old Zhou knew that the trip was going well when he saw the smile on their faces. He turned around and went back to the house with his hands behind his back.

Xiao Qian led two sisters-in-law to take the table in the main hall to the yard. The room was a little dark, and it was too wasteful to light the oil lamp. Anyway, there was still light outside, so I could eat outside.

Zhou Wulang and Zhou Liulang, one carrying the money from a cloth bag, and the other carrying the big rooster in the basket, rushed home.

Before entering the door, he shouted, "Sister-in-law, I'll stew chicken tonight."

Xiao Qian said without raising her head: "You are so beautiful that you have to eat chicken when you enter the city. The chickens at home have to be used to lay eggs."

Zhou Liulang had already rushed to the front, turned his back to let her see the basket behind him, and said loudly: "Don't want the chicken at home, I want this one."

When Xiao Qian saw the miserable chicken, she exclaimed, "Where did you come from the chicken? Steal, steal?"

Xiao Qian's eyes widened. Did the remaining two little ones learn to steal chickens after Silang learned to gambling?

Then will you touch the dog next time?

Xiao Qian couldn't help pinching her waist, but Zhou Liulang was unhappy and turned around and said, "Sister-in-law, am I such a person? This chicken was given to me by someone else."

Little Qian breathed a sigh of relief and took the miserable rooster out of the basket. After weighing it, she found it was quite heavy. She couldn't help asking: "Who is so careless? Although this chicken looks a little miserable, it's also meat and so fat. It's actually given to you."

Zhou Liulang laughed, "I think he is quite stupid, but some people say we are still at a disadvantage. Anyway, this matter is a long story. Sister-in-law, let's kill the chicken and stew it first. This was taken back by Manbao for his mother to nourish his body."

Xiao Qian looked at Shichen and said, "Forget it tonight, leave it until tomorrow."

She looked at the rooster in her hand carefully and couldn't help but mutter, "In fact, raising her may be able to survive..."

Zhou Wulang and Zhou Liulang widened their eyes, as if they saw the chicken leaving them. The two brothers turned around and shouted to Manbao who had just entered the yard: "Manbao, my sister-in-law wants to raise the big rooster and sell it. Please persuade her quickly."

Xiao Qian glared at the two brothers.

Manbao didn't care about the cart before stopping, so Guru slid down from the cart, then ran to Xiao Qian, holding her arm and swaying, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, kill **, this is a chicken to nourish my mother's body. The rooster replenishes qi and blood. Maybe it's good if I eat it."

Qian also walked out of the door slowly and said with a smile: "Manbao, don't mess with your sister-in-law. It's too late, and you have to kill it tomorrow."

"No, look, there is still light. We will make a fire and have dinner at night, it's not too late."

The children were also staring at each other, and Old Zhou said, "Okay, since it's the filial piety of several children, then do it tonight. Anyway, it's done early and late. I think this chicken is not energetic, and it may die if it's left until tomorrow."

Manbao also nodded repeatedly, "The dead chicken is not delicious."

Xiao Qian took the chicken to kill. Feng Shi and Shi Shi hurriedly went to help, one boiled the hot water on the stove, and the other prepared the ingredients for stewing chicken.

There are no good dishes at home now, but you can pick up two big radishes and cut them into them and stew them together.

The three sisters-in-law were busy in the kitchen, while Zhou Dalang and others reported to the old Zhou in the yard about what happened today.

How much did the grain be sold and how much did it cost to buy medicine? The rest was handed over to Lao Zhoutou, and Lao Zhoutou was handed over to Qian.

The money at home has always been under the jurisdiction of Qian.

The Zhou family has no more and less land, and when the year is better, there is only a little left. Fortunately, their family has a lot of labor and can also take out some odd jobs while farming, and only those who are scattered can save some money.

Qian has made a lot of contributions to the family’s savings, because she mediated the family’s affairs. She mostly arranged the work and how to do it, and even the old Zhoutou would listen to her.

Qian collected the money, counted it, and wrote down a note in her heart. When she turned around, she found that Manbao was surrounded by the children. Jijigugu didn't know what she was talking about. She couldn't help but smile and asked Zhou Dalang, "Didn't Manbao cause you trouble today?"

Zhou Dalang glanced at Manbao, who was sticking his little butt and turning his back to them, and he didn't know what he muttered to the children. Everyone was screaming, and he hesitated and said, "Dad, mother, in the county town today, Manbao and the others have also made a lot of money."

Old Zhou uttered a roar and said with a smile: "Has Manbao's flower basket been sold?"

Zhou Dalang said: "More than that, she also used a big rooster, and once she changed her hands, she earned three cents of silver."

Old Zhoutou and Qian were stunned and quickly called Manbao over to ask.

Man Bao was bragging to his nieces and nieces. When he saw his parents ask, his little chest was taller, and he proudly told him what they did in the county town today.

She grew up listening to stories since she was a child. Her parents told her stories, her brother and sister-in-law told her stories, Mr. Zhuang told her stories, and Ke Ke often told her stories. In addition, she has been in contact with story books recently and has touched a little bit of the storytelling side, so she danced and described it in place, and everyone listened with relish.

Especially Datou and others who have never been to the county town. Although they have never been to it, after hearing what my sister-in-law described it, they imagined it in their minds that they had also been there.

Manbao was dry and his mouth was dry. Qian poured her a bowl of water in silence.

Manbao drank, and his eyes were shiny, "Mom, you don't know, there are so many people in the county town. Can I take you there next time?"

Qian smiled slightly, "What am I going to the county town? Just go."

Zhou Dalang's eyes slid from Manbao's small cloth to the cloth bag that Zhou Wulang was holding, and said, "Mom, you can't get so much money for the children. What if it gets lost?"

Qian also said to Manbao: "Manbao, give the money to your mother, will you keep it for you?"

Manbao shook his head, "I want to take care of myself, I'm all an adult."

Qian smiled slightly, touched her head and said, "You are also a member of our family. Do you know the rules at home?"

Manbao shook his head.

Qian said, "If your brother and sister-in-law make money outside, they have to pay 60% of them to the public. If you want to get the money yourself, you have to pay 60% of them."

Since it was a rule, Manbao didn't agree. She thought for a while and said, "Okay, but I have to count how many there are in total."
