Chapter 300 Regret
Then she held the fishing net in place to prevent the struggling birds from escaping.
But Keke said, "Host, there is a bird of the wrong species. Do you want to include it as well?"
Manbao followed Koko's instructions and found a small bird with blue feathers. Its beak was different from the other birds nearby.
Manbao thinks it is very beautiful.
She carefully reached in and pulled it out, asking Koko, "What's its name?"
"I don't know." Koko was silent for a moment before saying, "Species that even I don't know about are often worth a lot of points."
Manbao's eyes sparkled, and he stuffed the bird into Koko's hands. Koko had just put the bird away when Datou and his men rushed over.
When Bai Shanbao went to the Zhou family, most of them were still asleep. Fortunately, in farmers' homes, the doors are usually not closed unless it is night or no one is at home.
Bai Shanbao knew Datou's room, so he slipped in to look for him.
When Datou got up, Ertou naturally got up too, and Da Ya and Er Ya, who lived next door, followed suit.
Everyone was so excited when they saw the birds struggling in the fishing nets, "You guys are amazing! You caught so many!"
Bai Shanbao said proudly, "If we change places, we will definitely be able to catch more."
Datou came with a backpack and, following his aunt's instructions, put a lid on it.
They carefully caught the birds one by one and stuffed them into the basket, counting them as they went. After counting, even Daji was surprised to find that they had caught twelve.
After everyone caught all the birds, they pulled up the nets and saw that a lot of wheat had been eaten on the ground. Datou praised the two of them foolishly, "Auntie, you are really amazing. How did you find such a piece of land with wheat ears?"
Manbao: "We spread it ourselves."
Big Head blinked and asked, "Auntie, where did you get the wheat ears?"
He subconsciously looked at the fields next to him, his eyes widening, "You didn't take it from Goudan's land, did you?"
Manbao also turned his head to look at the wheat field next to him, his eyes lit up and he said, "How could I forget? We can go to our own wheat field to catch wheat ears, so we don't have to bring wheat ears from home."
Da Ya and Er Ya's eyes widened and they exclaimed, "Auntie, did you take this wheat ear from home?"
Seeing their aunt nod, the four children looked at each other and immediately said, "Aunt, you can't tell Grandpa."
Otherwise, they didn’t know whether their aunt would be beaten, but they would definitely be scolded.
Manbao had no intention of telling his father, so he agreed readily.
Everyone packed up their things and moved to another location.
There are birds in the fields where the wheat has not been harvested, and there are even more birds in the fields where the wheat has been harvested but not yet carried home.
This time, with the help of Datou and the others, everyone worked even faster. Soon they had set up a net on the ground. They chose the place where there were the most birds flying when they first came in.
Everyone held up the sticks and waited quietly for the birds to land.
Datou felt that the wait was too long. Seeing the birds that had landed on his field eating so much wheat, his heart ached.
However, the aunt did not allow him to pull the stick randomly, and insisted on waiting a little longer so that the bird would not be so alert.
Being in the field was naturally not as comfortable as being under a tree. Under the scorching sun, Bai Shanbao wiped the sweat from his face and whispered to Manbao, "Let's go under a tree next time."
Manbao also felt that hiding in the field was too uncomfortable, so he nodded. He would just carry some wheat up there when the time came.
The net fell quickly, and everyone rushed over to press the fishing net. When they saw the birds caught in it, they all laughed happily.
When Old Zhou and his friends finished their nap and came over with bamboo baskets, they saw a group of children hiding under a tree pulling a rope. Before they got there, the net fell, and a group of birds flapped their wings and flew away, while another group of birds flapped their wings and were caught in the fishing net.
Old Zhou couldn't help but smile as he watched. He walked forward and was about to talk to them when he suddenly saw ears of wheat scattered on the ground.
Old Zhou's eyebrows twitched and the smile on his face slowly faded.
The six children didn't notice the adults coming at all. They were excitedly occupying a corner, reaching their little hands into the net to catch the birds, taking them out carefully and stuffing them into the backpack.
After they stuffed all the birds in, they looked up and saw the adults from the Zhou family watching them.
Zhou Silang was so happy that he lowered his head and took a quick look at the bird in the basket. Then he said happily, "Manbao, you are really amazing. You actually caught it."
Zhou Dalang felt that he couldn't remain silent any longer, so he asked, "Where did you get so many ears of wheat?"
Manbao said shyly, "We found it."
Old Zhou told himself not to get angry, so he suppressed his anger and asked, "Where did you find it?"
"In our family's land."
Zhou Sanlang said, "Little sister, are you looking for it? That's taking it!"
"That's not the case," Manbao said, "We picked up a lot of wheat ears this morning, didn't we put them all in the field?"
Xiao Qian immediately changed the subject, "Manbao, how many birds did you catch?"
"So many, so many," Manbao became excited and pulled Xiao Qianshi to let her see the birds in the basket.
Old Zhou also took the opportunity to take a look, and his expression improved slightly.
Zhou Silang swallowed and said, "This should be one for each person, right?"
Of course there is more than that, because they have already set up four nets and changed four locations, and the backpacks are almost full.
Manbao had already discussed it with Bai Shanbao. They would split the food in half. Half would be left at Zhou's house to cook for themselves in the evening, and the other half would be taken to Bai's house and decided to have the cook cook it right away.
What can Old Zhou do? Maizi must have been brought by his precious daughter. He can't just beat up his grandchildren to vent his anger, right?
It was even more impossible for him to be angry with Young Master Bai, so he could only sigh, waved his hand, and let Xiao Qian take them home.
Deal with the birds you caught.
As for the big four, of course they went to work in the fields. They were so naughty that they actually used wheat as bait. Looking at the wheat on the ground, there must be two or three bowls of flour, right?
I can bake several pancakes.
Old Zhou picked up all the wheat that had been pecked away on the ground with great regret.
Manbao comforted his father, "Dad, when I come back in the evening, I will treat you to roasted birds."
Old Zhou said with a sad face, "Okay."
Manbao left with Xiao Qianshi, and dragged Bai Shanbao with him before leaving.
Daji hurriedly followed with the tools. He felt that the young master would not get tired of this game so soon, so this thing must still be useful.
When they arrived at Zhou's house, Xiao Qian found a rope and tied up the birds one by one. After tying up all the birds, she counted out half of them and put them in a backpack and gave them to Daji.
Manbao and Bai Shanbao went back to the Bai family together, planning to go to the kitchen to find the cook.
