Daji poured two bags of stones into two basins of water. These were stones that had been cut and polished by craftsmen at the most basic level.

It already looks pretty good, at least better than when they picked it out before, but it's not enough.

Daji taught them how to clean the chess pieces in the future and how to polish them one by one.

Knowing that Man Bao was helping to make chess pieces together, Liu specially prepared two sets of tools for them, one for each person.

Man Bao took a brush and imitated Daji, brushing it on the cutting surface and slowly rubbing it.

Daji said: "This stone is just like jade. The more people come into contact with it and the longer it takes, the more moist it becomes."

He paused and then said: "This stone is the best in stone chess. If you use it for a long time, it will be as smooth as jade in the end."

Bai Shan asked curiously: "If there is stone chess, are there other chess such as wooden chess and jade chess?"

"Yes, but wooden chess pieces are easily deformed if cut too small, and jade chess pieces are too precious and rare, so stone chess pieces are still the main ones," Daji said: "In our Bai family, except for the great master who polished jade chess pieces once, the other masters

All they use are stone chess pieces.”

Man Bao was speechless and said to Bai Shan, "Your family is really rich."

After two days, she already knew that these baskets of stones were not cheap. The money spent in two baskets could buy a pair of chess pieces in a bookstore.

She didn't understand it just now, but now she touched the roughly polished stone and understood that it was different from the chess pieces sold in the bookstore.

Bai Shan naturally felt it too. He and Man Bao put their hands into the water to rub the stones. They changed the water according to Daji's instructions and added some ingredients to soak.

While they were having a great time, Sanya ran to her and said, "Sister-in-law, grandma asked me to call you home. Aunt-in-law is back."

Man Bao immediately ran home, and Bai Shan only had time to shout, "Remember to collect your things, we will set off back to Yizhou City early tomorrow morning."

"Know it!"

Manbao and Sanya ran home in a hurry. Lao Zhou's house was busy, and a group of children were surrounding Guan Xin asking for sweets.

Guan Xin laughed so hard that he almost couldn't see his eyes. He kept taking out candies from his body and giving them to them. It didn't take long for him to take out all the candies on his body.

Man Bao stretched out his hand to say hello to Guan Xin, then turned around and went into the eldest sister's room. Both Qian and Xiao Qian were there, whispering to Zhou Xi.

When they saw Man Bao coming in, they stopped talking.

Man Bao ran up and asked, "Sister, how is my brother-in-law treating you?"

Zhou Xi smiled and said, "That's good. You're young, so don't worry about these things all the time."

"Yes, your eldest sister lives in the county town, and she lives not far from the shop. With your eldest brother and sister-in-law taking care of her, how can Guan Xin dare to bully her?" Qian said: "It's you who will go to Yizhou City this time.

I don’t know how long it will take to come back.”

She whispered: "There are many wealthy people in that place. You and the two young masters of the Bai family have to control your temper and don't be too naughty. It's different from the village."

Man Bao nodded repeatedly, "Mom, I know, we were very good when we were in Yizhou City."

"Then why did you not behave well when you returned to the village? I heard that Qian'er, you and your three heads and four heads fought with the boys in Dali Village, right?"

"No," Man Bao flatly denied, saying, "We didn't hit them, we were just protecting our fruit trees."

Qian nodded her forehead and said, "You are poor. All the people in Dali Village went to Master Bai yesterday. How many people did they pay for you?"

Man Bao snorted and said: "We didn't do anything heavy-handed. They were just a little green at most. They were so annoying. If we just picked some fruits, we wouldn't say anything. But Bai Zhuangtou said that they had some unripe fruits on the mountain.

We picked them, but we couldn’t eat them. We used them all for fighting purposes. It took us so many years to grow so many fruits, and we watered and fertilized them every year..."

Man Bao felt a little aggrieved when talking about this, "They just picked it and threw it away easily, but they don't know how many people's efforts were spent behind it."

Xiao Qian also said: "Mom, it's also those boys in Dali Village who have gone too far. The boys in our village all know that they are Manbao's fruit trees and will not harm them. If the children in Dali Village don't know, don't the adults do the same?

Know?"

He added: "The fruit that someone has worked so hard to grow has caused trouble to their own children. Those who are polite will naturally come to apologize, but they have the courage to come to ask for forgiveness. They are not ashamed."

Man Bao nodded repeatedly.

Qian glared at her and said, "No matter what, we can't fight. Let's fight on the mountainside. There are rocks and tree stumps everywhere. It's so steep. If someone accidentally hits someone on the head, we'll bring it to their door to compensate them."

?”

"Moreover, what if you are beaten up? Who will mother cry to then?"

Man Bao said confidently: "No, Daji was following me at that time, and I still have Master Tianzun to bless me."

Qian:……

She rubbed her forehead and said, "Then we're not allowed to fight, got it?"

Man Bao nodded, "Don't worry, Mom, I've grown up and won't fight anymore."

You should come down first and then talk.

Qian said: "Okay, you go and pack your luggage. Aren't you going to leave tomorrow morning? You are not allowed to go out to play today."

Man Bao secretly stuck out his tongue and agreed.

Seeing that she left honestly, Mr. Qian turned to Xiao Qian and said, "Don't spoil her too much. Things are different now. She has grown up, and she still fights with others. What does it look like?"

?”

Xiao Qian lowered his head and agreed, and Zhou Xi quickly said: "Mom, it's not my fault, sister-in-law. Man Bao has been raised like this since he was a child. I'm afraid it won't be easy to change."

She paused and then smiled: "And I think there's nothing wrong with being more aggressive, at least I won't be bullied, right?"

Xiao Qian nodded quietly from the side.

Qian said: "Can I not know? But there are many ways to be aggressive, and fighting is the worst."

The day before yesterday, when Man Bao came back with three and four heads covered in mud, Qian almost couldn't breathe.

They said early in the morning that they were going to the small farm to see the fruit trees. Qian thought that they had just finished the wedding at home and there were still a lot of things to do, so she left Da Tou and others who often played with Man Bao behind.

Three heads and four heads went with her.

Unexpectedly, they came back in the middle of the afternoon covered in mud, with mud on their hair and face, and a swelling on their foreheads. After asking, they found out that they had met a child from Dali Village on the mountain who came to steal fruits.

There were two young masters from the Bai family on Manbao's side, as well as some children in the village who played better with them. There were some conflicts between the two sides. When they met, tensions immediately broke out and a fight broke out.
