Chapter 1572 Vacation 2
We are all adults now, so Manbao and the others are certainly not worried about where to go, so they went out to play happily.
Liu Huan took them to pick melons. "There are other fruits on the mountain. Peaches are especially delicious."
Yin Huo was wearing a conical hat that suited him particularly well. He had asked Changshou to buy it for him after he returned home that day.
The melons are at the foot of the mountain. At this time, the melons are almost finished. Maybe because of the good sunshine, the skin looks yellowish and seems very sweet.
Manbao asked Keke to help him find the sweetest one, and then he rushed over and picked it.
It was the first time that Koko discovered that it could be used to make such a judgment. Unfortunately, the melons had already been included, so even if it found the sweetest one, it would not be of any benefit to it.
Bai Shan and the others were fine, they went to the fields a lot. The fun of picking melons is that you can eat them or give them to others after picking them.
Whether you eat them or give them away, there is a limit to how much you can have, so just pick a few for fun.
So Bai Shan and the others, after hugging melons left and right and pocketing several melons with their clothes, were about to go up the mountain to the fruit trees to eat the melons. However, Liu Huan and Yin Huo, who were in the fields for the first time, were not very willing to go.
Especially Yin or.
He had never been to the farm like this in his life.
But his clothes were limited in space, and after picking five melons, he found that he could no longer fit them in, so he had to carry them in his pocket and go find Bai Shan and the others.
The group walked up the mountain for a while, found a lush-looking peach tree to sit under, and took out their melons.
The servants who followed them hurriedly served them tea and fanned them. Seeing them sitting on the ground, the manor's steward couldn't help but bend down and said, "Young Master, can I have someone bring some mats?"
Liu Huan looked at Bai Shan and asked, "Where would you like to have lunch?"
Bai Shan said: "We are all free to do whatever you want."
Yin Huo said, "Then let's just stay in the wild."
"What do you mean by 'outdoors'?" Feng Zongping and Bai Dalang Yi Ziyang came over, shielding themselves from the sun with their fans. Once they were in the shade under a tree, they fanned themselves and said, "The sun is really strong! You guys were so foresighted that you prepared your hats in advance."
Yi Ziyang took a look at the bamboo hats on their heads and said with disdain: "I would rather wear a curtain than a bamboo hat like this."
Feng Zongping also thought the bamboo hat was ugly, but nowadays only women wore veils, and he didn't want to wear something similar to the girls, so he said, "I'd better use a fan to cover it up."
The three of them walked forward and sat down. Seeing so many melons in front of them, they couldn't help but stretch their necks to take a look at the melon field. Seeing that the sunshine was so good, they immediately decided not to pick the melons, so they turned back and stared at their melons.
Manbao and the others were very generous. She held the melon that Koko identified as having the highest sugar content in front of her, and rolled the others to the middle, letting them pick whatever they wanted without being polite.
Bai Shan and others are the same, they are very generous.
Feng Zongping and Yi Ziyang took a look at the melons that Zhou Man had picked and found that the melons she picked were not as good-looking or big as those of others, so they turned around and went to Bai Shan and the others to pick.
Bai Dalang didn't hesitate and chose from the three melons left by Manbao. After choosing a larger one, he asked, "Is it sweet?"
Manbao nodded vigorously and said, "It must be sweet."
A servant brought a knife over, and Manbao took it and started cutting. As he cut, he said to Liu Huan, "Melons are so expensive out there right now. Can I pick some more to take back with me when I go back? I'll give some to my brother, sister-in-law, nephews, and nieces."
Liu Huan waved his hand generously and said, "Now everyone has switched to eating cold melons. My family has had enough of these sweet melons. Just pick them."
When Feng Zongping and Yi Ziyang heard this, they immediately said that they also wanted to pick some to take home.
As Feng Zongping cleaned the melon and cut it open, he said, "Your farm is in a good location. It's not like mine, which only occupies such a small area. The land is not very good, and the fruits and vegetables grown there are not very tasty."
Manbao and the others had just walked across the Feng family's land. Without thinking, she said, "You're taking advantage of the situation. Your land is very fertile. It's perfect for growing wheat."
Bai Shan also said: "Growing rice will also be better than others. Your land is fertile, what's there to be unhappy about?"
Feng Zongping looked at them both in surprise, "So my land is considered good?"
The two of them nodded along with Bai Erlang. After all, they had farmed under the guidance of the Zhou family and Mr. Zhuang. The Zhou family had explained these things to them so that they would not lose money, and Mr. Zhuang had explained these things to them so that they would not become officials who did not know how to grow crops when they grew up.
The soil in Feng Zongping's house looks very fertile.
"Then why can't they grow delicious fruits and vegetables?"
Manbao thought for a moment and said, "The land you own is fertile, but it doesn't drain well, so it's not suitable for growing fruits. But fruits are so cheap, why would you use such good land to grow them?"
"That's right. The fruits and vegetables in our village are all grown on the hills or dry land," Bai Shan said. "It would be much better to grow wheat."
Feng Zongping said, "My family has other land, so we have no shortage of wheat. This land outside the capital was originally used to grow vegetables and fruits for our own consumption."
Manbao suddenly felt depressed and didn't want to talk to him anymore. Bai Shan didn't want to talk to him either, so she reached out and took a piece of melon from Manbao, "You are not in good health, eat less."
After these words were spoken, everyone except the Bai brothers looked at the two of them in disbelief.
Bai Shan and Man Bao, who were about to eat melon, looked back at them with puzzled expressions, "What's wrong?"
Feng Zongping pointed at Zhou Man and asked, "Is she in poor health?"
Bai Shan nodded, "What's the problem?"
Manbao also looked puzzled and said, "I'm not feeling well."
Everyone else looked at Zhou Man with a rosy face and was speechless.
Bai Dalang also cut a melon, looked around and said with a smile: "You don't know, Manbao was not in good health when he was young, his family worked very hard to feed him."
Bai Shan thought about it carefully and felt something was wrong. He turned to Man Bao and said, "I've only heard people say that you're not in good health, but you used to beat us up when you were little, and I don't see any signs of you being unwell."
This is true, Bai Erlang nodded vigorously.
Before Manbao could even try to clear her name, Bai Dalang, standing by, laughed and said, "That's because her health has improved. I remember when she was little, she was often sick. One time, she had a fever in the middle of the night, and it rained heavily that night. Her family couldn't go out to see a doctor, so they braved the rain and came to our door to beg for mercy. They got some medicine from us to boil."
Bai Erlang looked confused and asked, "Why don't I remember?"
Manbao also said: "I don't remember either."
Bai Dalang laughed, "Of course you don't remember. You weren't even a year old at that time, so what could you remember? Erlang was just beginning to speak, so he must have been a little over two years old at that time."
Their family had just moved to Qili Village less than a year ago. From what I recall, it seemed that the Zhou family suddenly had a child.
He didn't think it was a big deal at the time, after all, he seldom went to the village. But now it seems that it happened just a few months after Zhou Yin and the others returned to their hometown.
See you at 9pm
