Man Bao sat obediently opposite Bai Shan. Bai Shan asked, "Is the food in your inner courtyard delicious?"

Man Bao said: "Not bad, what about you?"

"It's not bad," Bai Shan said, "but people keep talking to us, and we can't have a good meal."

Mrs. Zheng said, "Can you go back and ask the kitchen to make you a bowl of noodles later?"

"Mom, that's the best." Bai Shan looked at Man Bao, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you want to eat?"

Man Bao touched his belly and said reluctantly: "You can have midnight snack."

Mrs. Liu then smiled and said: "Make more, and make a bowl for Da Lang and Erlang. The four children will eat more when they are growing up."

Zheng agreed.

Bai Shan then talked to Man Bao about things in the front yard. Of course Man Bao also shared with him the interesting things she had encountered, such as the new friend she made today, and the fact that the little girl from the Bai family led the

She got lost when she went to the garden lotus pond.

She said proudly: "Thankfully we went to Yan's house a lot before, otherwise I would have led her astray."

Bai Shan didn't notice anything wrong and said, "I wonder if they found the hole in the wall. If they found it, would they hide something in it?"

The two of them discussed various little secret places in Yan's house.

Mrs. Liu, who was sitting aside, couldn't help but sit up straight, pulled Man Bao and asked: "You said that little girl led you the wrong way? Then do you know that the way she led you is to go to the wrong place?"

where?"

Man Bao blinked, thought for a while and said: "That road should go to the courtyard where the servants live in the backyard. It is close to the garden, just around the corner, and not far away is the courtyard wall next to our house.

.”

"Hey, is it there?" Bai Shan said with a smile: "I still remember one time when we sneaked there, it was almost dark, and when the wind blew, the big trees made a roaring sound, and Erlang was so scared that he sat down on the ground.

Woolen cloth."

"Yes, yes, I remember it too. I also remember that he was too timid. He even said that the ghosts in Yan's house were faked by people, but he was still afraid of it... I just howled and he started to cry.

Already."

Mrs. Liu looked at the two children who were carefree and unaware and became worried.

Mrs. Zheng pointed at the two children and smiled and said, "You are really naughty, you know that he is afraid of ghosts but you still scare him."

The two children shrank their necks and looked at each other in amusement like cats that had stolen something.

When Mrs. Liu saw it, she suppressed the worries in her heart and did not mention the matter.

Back at the White House on Huanxi Street, Old Madam Liu let them play while she held Grandma Liu's hand back to the house.

Mother Liu was sitting on the shaft of the car, and she naturally heard what the two children in the car said. Seeing the worry on the old lady's face, she asked: "Old lady, do you want me to quietly send someone to inquire?"

"We are new here, how can we inquire about such matters in the inner house?"

"Isn't this easy? If you use some money to hook up with the servants who come out to buy things, you can always find out something. Even if you can't find out the reason, you can just find the little girl."

Mrs. Liu nodded and said, "Okay, let's do it."

Aunt Liu agreed, she lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, very confused, "This is also the first time for Miss Man to go there, and it is also the first time to meet people from Master Yu's family, so why is she being targeted? Listen to Man Man.

What the lady means is that she gets along well with the eldest lady in Mr. Yu’s house. Could it be someone from outside..."

Mrs. Liu pondered for a moment, "This matter is not urgent. Anyway, these children will focus on their studies after we leave. I'm afraid we won't have much time to interact with them. We can just ask Daji to pay more attention."

Aunt Liu agreed.

The cook gave them a bowl of noodles. It was very simple, just beating an egg and adding a handful of green vegetables.

Eggs are easy to come by, but vegetables are hard to come by at the moment. From white to full-bodied, the four of them ate to their satisfaction.

After Bai Zhi finished eating, he put down his bowl and chopsticks and looked at the three junior brothers and sisters on the table. He smiled slightly and said, "I haven't seen you for half a year, and you have grown a lot taller."

Man Bao returned the favor, "Brother Bai, you have grown taller too."

Bai Cheng raised his head and glanced at his brother, then looked at Man Bao opposite, and retorted: "You are blind, you are obviously not tall."

Bai Zhi, who just smiled:...

Bai Shan almost spit out the noodles in his mouth. He politely finished the noodles, then looked at Bai Zhi with a suppressed smile, "Cousin Zhi, do you want me to help you beat him?"

Bai Zhi looked at his brother seriously and shook his head, "Forget it, what if you become stupid? You are not smart in the first place."

Man Baole said, "Brother Bai, do you feel distressed when you see him?"

Bai Zhi nodded sadly.

Bai Shan said, "That's okay, we'll beat him after you leave."

Bai Zhi: ...it’s more painful, okay?

He couldn't help but ask the two of them, "Do you often beat up Erlang?"

Man Bao immediately clarified, "It's not that often. We have grown up and rarely fight anymore. Basically, only my husband will hit our palms."

Bai Cheng shouted: "You're talking nonsense. The last time I went to the river to wash clothes, the two of you teamed up to beat me."

Man Bao: "That's because you threw cold water on my face."

"I didn't mean it. Then I wore too many clothes and it was difficult to twist them. I just shook them twice. How do I know how the water got on your face?" Bai Cheng was very unconvinced, "And you

Even if you hit me, why should Bai Shan hit me too?"

Bai Shan finished eating the noodles, put down the bowl and chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Oh, I'm sorry. I saw my junior brother making a mistake. As a senior brother, I will teach you a lesson if I can't hold it back."

Bai Zhi saw the three of them quarreling again, fearing that they would start fighting immediately, so he quickly smoothed things over and said: "Okay, okay, I don't mind, just stop arguing. The elders are in the main courtyard not far away."

Woolen cloth."

Bai Shan comforted Bai Zhi, "Cousin Zhi, don't be sad. You are almost as tall as my cousin now. Even if you don't grow taller, it won't matter."

Bai stared at him.

Man Bao pushed Bai Shan away and said: "Brother Bai, let me tell you, there are techniques for growing taller. You can drink more bone soup, add some soybeans and stew them together, eat more soybeans, and stretch your hands and feet every day.

You and your body can grow taller."

Bai Zhi looked suspicious, "Are you serious?"

Manbao nodded fiercely, "This is a conclusion I came to after reading various books, consulting a gentleman, and combining it with actual practice."

Bai Zhi looked Man Bao up and down and asked, "Then why are you..." so short?

His eyes were extremely suspicious.

Bai Shan and Bai Erlang couldn't help laughing.

Man Bao puffed up his face and asked, "Tell me, have I grown taller this year?"

"Yes, yes, but is it normal for you to grow taller at your age?" Bai Zhi glanced back and forth among the three of them and said: "Manbao, I remember when I went home for the New Year two years ago, you guys

The three of us standing together are almost the same height, especially you and Shanbao, who are just a little bit different. But when I look at it now, why does it seem like Shanbao is taller than you?"
