Chapter 317 Separation
When she is away from home, grandma will definitely write a letter to Uncle Bai. Then he can use the excuse of writing a letter to Bai Er and put Manbao's letter in it.
Manbao of course also knew this, and the two of them looked at each other and chuckled.
When Liu and Zheng passed by to see the prepared carriage, they saw two children holding hands and smiling at each other. Liu couldn't help but stop.
Zheng also saw the two of them and sighed, "It's rare for Shanbao to have a friend. He must be very sad to see him leave."
Liu glanced at her and said, "He's only gone for a month or so. It's not like he won't be back."
"That's been a long time. I'm a little reluctant to let go, not to mention that they are still children."
Mrs. Liu didn't know what to say to her daughter-in-law. She squinted her eyes and watched the two children saying goodbye hand in hand. She stood there for a long time before continuing to walk forward.
"Let's go. We have a long way to go. We were in a hurry to move here last time and didn't prepare everything. We need to prepare well this time."
Zheng responded.
The Bai family only had two horses, and Mr. Bai also had two horses at home. He was willing to lend one of his own horses to Liu.
Liu thought about it and did not refuse.
Except for three horse-drawn carriages, all other carriages were pulled by donkeys.
This time, Liu went with the intention of intimidating and showing off, so she brought a lot of things with her.
Most of them are food for the family to eat on the road. Liu will not treat herself badly in this regard, let alone her grandson.
The rest are gifts for friends and relatives, including expensive items that look good but are not practical, as well as simple local specialties.
They loaded three donkey carts with the stuff, and then went to the county town to ask people from the escort agency to escort them.
Compared with their last embarrassing escape to Qili Village, this was on a larger scale and much more relaxed.
In the entire Bai residence, except for a farmhand who stayed behind to look after the crops, two old servants, and two very young maids, everyone else went back with Liu and the others.
Manbao specifically told Koko the time and asked her to wake her up tomorrow.
When she arrived at the village entrance, rubbing her eyes and feeling a little sleepy, she saw three horse-drawn carriages and three donkey-drawn carts lined up in the dim light and slowly walking across the bridge from the other side of the river.
Manbao was stunned.
Bai Shanbao, who was in the first carriage, saw Manbao through the window and immediately waved excitedly. When the carriage arrived, he jumped down without even standing still.
Bai Shanbao said, "I waited for you at home for a long time, but you didn't come. I thought you wouldn't come to see me off."
"How could that be? I promised you. If I really didn't come, it must be because I fell asleep and haven't woken up yet. It's not intentional."
"I know, but if you can't even sleep over something as important as sending me off, it's obvious that you don't care about me."
"You can't say that. It just means that sleep is more important than you."
Two children were standing on the side of the road chatting nonsense while six cars stopped and waited.
Manbao glanced at the convoy and sighed like an adult, "Forget it, I won't bother you anymore. If we don't set off now, you won't be able to find a place to rest at noon."
Manbao took out three paper packages from the bookcase and handed them to Bai Shanbao, saying, "These are pancakes my sister-in-law baked early this morning. I added eggs and vegetables to them. They're delicious. Share them with Grandma Liu and the others."
Bai Shanbao took it and found that the paper package was still very hot, obviously it had just been made.
He was somewhat moved and said solemnly, "When I come back, I will go up the mountain with you to dig Poria cocos."
Bai Shanbao paused for a moment and then said, "All the Poria cocos we dig up are yours. I won't share them with you."
Manbao was delighted when he heard this. He waved his paw and said, "You are so kind. I will wait for you to come back!"
Bai Shanbao said it was no problem.
Bai Shanbao climbed onto the carriage, handed the paper bag to his grandmother, then leaned over the window and waved goodbye to Manbao.
Manbao also waved to him and watched the carriage slowly move forward, followed by the donkey cart behind.
The convoy went farther and farther away. Manbao stood at the intersection and watched them winding forward. After a long time, they disappeared from sight.
Manbao lowered his head in disappointment and went to school carrying his school box.
It was still early and there was no one in the school. Manbao glanced at Bai Shanbao's seat and simply put the book box on his seat.
Then I sat down and felt it, and found that it was quite good without Shanbao. The space was much more spacious, and I didn’t have to put the bookcase at my feet anymore. I could stretch my legs wherever I wanted in the future.
Manbao chuckled, took out the remaining pancake from the bookcase, and then took out the bamboo tube filled with warm water. He ate the pancake directly with the warm water, and it tasted quite good.
But she couldn't help feeling lonely after eating. If Bai Shanbao was around, she could still talk to him about the taste of the pancakes. But now that he was gone, she could only keep her thoughts to herself.
Manbao took out the book and started reading out of loneliness.
Logically speaking, after Bai Shanbao left, Manbao should have been able to find time to go up the mountain with Zhou Silang and the others to look for Fuling. However, for two consecutive days, she stayed in her room doing homework or reviewing lessons, and did not suggest going up the mountain.
Instead, I asked them one after another to bring back some things from the mountains, whether it was wild mushrooms, soil for wild mushrooms, or various flowers and plants.
I don't know what she wants these things for.
On the third day, Zhou Silang couldn't help it anymore. He specially chose the time when she got out of school to go home, and directly leaned over her window to look into the room. He asked her through the window, "Manbao, does your husband have a lot of homework recently?"
"Not bad," Manbao said as he buried his head in writing. "It's mainly because I took a lot of notes and I need to review more."
Not only should you take notes in class, but you should also take notes in the teaching room.
It is not just the textbooks learned in class that need to be reviewed, but also the medical books learned in the teaching room.
Especially those medical books, which required a lot of things to memorize, she felt that they were ten times more difficult than taking Mr. Zhuang's class.
Recently she has been studying the anatomy of the human body, and Mr. Mo found her a picture that showed not only the human meridians and acupuncture points, but also the internal organs. The most important thing was that it was an animated picture.
When she taps, the meridians and blood vessels in that area will activate, helping her understand how that area works.
Manbao found it very strange.
But those acupoints and meridians are really difficult to remember. She can only remember ten a day, and she has to integrate them. She doesn’t know how long it will take.
Zhou Silang was obviously not satisfied with this answer. "Then can you finish it?"
"Of course, it will take some effort, but I will be able to finish it."
"So do you have any spare time after finishing writing?"
Manbao understood now, looked up and asked curiously: "Fourth brother, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly."
Zhou Silang leaned a little further into the window and chuckled, "Little sister, have you forgotten the Poria cocos on the mountain? They might be missing you."
"Think I dug them?"
"That's right," Zhou Silang nodded seriously. "They must want to see the light of day again and play their role in the human world. Who would want to stay underground? I think Fuling is the same."
A new month, a new atmosphere. Please vote for me. The next update will be around 8pm, two chapters at a time.
