Chapter 1349 Happy
Zheng tapped her nose and smiled, "Isn't the New Year a happy occasion?"
Bai Shan said, "My mother wasn't this happy during the New Year in previous years."
Zheng picked up a piece of dessert and stuffed it into his mouth. "Stop talking nonsense. Eat yours."
Bai Shan always felt that something was wrong with her mother, but she couldn't find out what was wrong, so she could only eat snacks in silence.
Zheng ignored her son and instead took Manbao's little white hand and looked at her with a smile on her face, which was as kind as it could be.
Not to mention Bai Shan, Man Bao also felt something was wrong. After she finally left, he whispered to Bai Shan, "Tell me, does Aunt Zheng have something to ask of me?"
Bai Shan: "My mother is sick?"
"I just observed him carefully. His face is rosy, his breathing is steady, and he walks steadily. He is not sick."
Bai Shan was also confused.
When Bai Erlang came to play with them, he saw the two of them huddled together, whispering to each other, their heads almost touching. He couldn't help but yelled from outside the door, "What are you doing?"
The two people who were concentrating on their studies were startled and raised their heads at the same time, causing their foreheads to bump into each other. Manbao was not sitting firmly, and the collision made him fall backwards...
Bai Shan quickly reached out and hugged her, pulled her, and Manbao fell into his arms.
Seeing the two of them hugging each other openly, Bai Erlang said: ...
The two of them let go of each other with red faces, then turned around and glared at Bai Jilang, "Why are you shouting so loudly?"
Bai Erlang himself wasn't angry at all, but he didn't expect them to get angry first. He said silently, "It's broad daylight, what's wrong with me shouting? I've shouted a lot before. It's you who are hiding in the study and doing evil things."
Bai Shan's face turned even redder. "What nonsense are you talking about? How could we have done anything wrong?"
Bai Jilang: "You all hugged each other."
Manbao's face flushed. "Shut up, we were just talking in private. You suddenly showed up and scared us."
"What whisper?"
They both said in unison: "I won't tell you!"
If I say I won’t tell, then I won’t tell, no matter how Bai Erlang asks.
Bai Erlang was very itchy.
The two of them hid a lot of things from him, but the premise was that he himself didn't know about it. Since he didn't know, he wasn't curious.
But now the two of them were clearly hiding something from him, and he couldn't pretend not to know.
Bai Erlang could only sit aside and watch them depressedly, "I was about to invite you to go to the city to see the master..."
Manbao said, "My family has slaughtered a pig and a sheep. My mother said she would like you to have some pig slaughtering dishes."
It was so lively that Bai Erlang wanted to join in the fun again.
"Your family is having a wedding tomorrow, so when are you going to see your husband?"
"The day after tomorrow," Bai Shan said, "Our family has prepared some New Year gifts, and we'll give them to you, Master."
Bai Erlang nodded in agreement and turned to ask Manbao, "Can my eldest brother go out now? He also wants to see the teacher."
"Hey, in previous years, Brother Bai rarely went to visit the master."
Bai Erlang: "...That's because my eldest brother always meets the master whenever he goes out with my father for social events, and he pays his respects to him at the banquet. Didn't you say that my eldest brother should eat a light diet? So he won't go out for social events this year."
Bai Dalang is very busy every year when he goes home, busy with social events with his father. In comparison, Bai Erlang has it too easy.
He basically spends the New Year in Qili Village, or goes to his uncle's house to eat, drink and have fun, feeling extremely comfortable.
Bai Erlang was a little proud when he said this. "Originally, my father wanted to take me with him, but I refused. I told my grandmother that we would leave for Beijing after the seventh day of the first lunar month, and I wanted to spend more time at home with my grandmother and mother. So my grandmother helped me to refuse."
Bai Shan said, "I never saw you bothering your grandmother much when you were at home. Don't you just run away when you get a chance?"
"That's also your fault."
Manbao was unhappy, "It's none of my business. I'm a very well behaved person and never play around."
Bai Shan and Bai Jilang: ...
Because the New Year is approaching, the village is very lively. Plus, the Zhou family is about to have a wedding, which makes it even more lively.
From time to time, one or two firecracker sounds were heard in the village. As soon as they heard it, they knew that someone had bought a whole string of firecrackers, took them apart, and let the children light them one by one for fun.
Not to mention Bai Erlang, even Manbao and Bai Shan were a little restless, so after writing two pages of the medical book, the three of them couldn't help but prick up their ears and listen for a while, then they looked at each other, put down their pens and ran out to play.
They had grown up, so naturally it was impossible for them to play with a group of little kids. When they saw a group of teenagers in the fields and on the hillside not far away, they couldn't help but run over to watch the fun.
A group of teenagers were building an earthen stove. They picked up a lot of dry firewood from the hillside, and then moved the earth from the field to build an earthen stove. They were burning the fire, and the fire burned the earth red.
Santou was the same age as Manbao, but he hung out with some older boys. When he saw Manbao and the others coming, he dropped his firewood and ran over to greet them, "Auntie, why are you here?"
Manbao and the others had never played this before, and it seemed quite interesting, so they stood on tiptoe and asked, "What are you doing?"
The three-headed man whispered, "We are roasting chicken."
Manbao opened his eyes wide and saw several young men from the river running towards them with something in their hands and cheering. When they got closer, he found that it was a slaughtered chicken skewered on a big wooden stick.
Several teenagers clumsily placed wooden sticks on the earthen stove and turned the chicken over unskillfully.
The three of them followed the other teenagers and squatted to the side to watch curiously, "Won't it burn like this?"
Bai Shan: "Without salt, it will be tasteless, right?"
Bai Erlang: "Oh, there's a black spot, the fire is too big..."
The three of them joined in the fun for a while before they remembered to ask, "Where did this chicken come from?"
The crowd suddenly fell silent, and everyone couldn't help but look at the three squatting people.
The three-headed man chuckled and said, "Auntie, the farmhands from your farm sold it to us, saying it was the chicken you gave them."
During the Chinese New Year this year, they did distribute a lot of eggs and several chickens to the farmhands.
But even if they wanted to sell the chicken, they wouldn't sell it to the children in the village, right?
Manbao frowned slightly and was about to ask, but Bai Shan pulled her and glanced at Santou. Manbao endured it and decided to ask Santou when she got back.
Santou was just there to join in the fun. He had no share in the chicken, and there was already a pig-killing meal at home. So when he saw that the chicken was almost cooked, he went home with Manbao and the others.
On the way back, Santou said, "I bought it for forty cents. Gouzi said that if they didn't sell it to him, he would bring people to steal the chickens and eggs. The small farm has too many chickens and ducks, so there will definitely be times when we can't keep an eye on them, so the farmhands don't dare to mess with them."
Manbao couldn't help but knock him on the head: "Then why are you still playing with them?"
The three heads said, "Even if I don't play with them, they can still buy it. This is none of my business. I can learn some information by joining in the fun. Otherwise, how would I know about their business?"
Bai Shan looked at him curiously when he heard this, "What do you think now that you know?"
"Not very good," Santou said confidently, "I'll tell grandpa later and ask him to go look for them."
Manbao also owns a share of the small village, and Old Zhou will not allow the young hooligans in the village to bully the people in the village.
In this regard, his words are more effective than those of Mr. Bai. The most important thing is that Mr. Bai would not care about such matters.
When the three heard this, they immediately felt relieved and no longer took the matter to heart.
See you tomorrow
