Chapter 3224 The Farewell of the Child
Zhou Man couldn't help but burst into laughter when he heard this. He waved his hand and said, "I'll make it for you! I may not be good at other cooking skills, but I can steam oysters."
She turned to Tang He and said, "Brother Tang, let's have oysters for lunch today. They are good for treating colds and fevers caused by typhoid fever, malaria, shock and anger, stiffness and fistulas. Long-term consumption can strengthen bones and joints and prolong life."
Tang He: "You have the final say."
Zhou Man continued to pick fish on the boat, "That yellow croaker is also good, take it..."
A boat approached from a distance and quickly approached the shore. A wet fisherman carrying a wooden bucket ran towards them, "Sir, sir..."
The accompanying guards quickly stopped him.
He didn't rush in, but knelt down outside, holding the wooden barrel in his arms, and said with shining eyes: "Sir, I touched abalone, a particularly large abalone. I estimated that four abalones would weigh one kilogram."
When Zhou Man heard this, he immediately went forward to take a look and was pleasantly surprised. "It's really good. We want both."
As soon as they finished their shopping and left, people immediately surrounded the fisherman and said, "Old Zhao, you're so lucky! You just happened to run into Lord Bai and Lord Zhou buying seafood."
Old Zhao was also very happy, his eyes were almost invisible from laughing, "Good luck, good luck."
"Selling it directly to Mr. Zhou and his men would earn 30% more than selling it at the market, right? And if word gets out, it won't piss off those shop owners and middlemen."
After all, being able to sell things to the nobles of the other courtyard is an honor for everyone in their area.
The cake carrying the wooden barrel was also very happy. He said to Zhou Man, "This is much cheaper than what we bought in the county town. It turns out that if you want to eat seafood, you have to go to the beach. Madam, will we come again tomorrow?"
Tang He pricked up his ears and listened.
Zhou Man turned around and asked Tang He, "Senior, are you leaving tomorrow?"
Tang He nodded with a look of regret, "Early tomorrow morning."
"Then have the servants go out to buy some in the evening, and we'll have seafood porridge tomorrow morning."
Tang He couldn't help but laugh, "It's hard to refuse such a kind offer."
During this trip, only Tang He and Bai Shan were talking about serious matters, while the others were just relaxing and eating, drinking and having fun. Because little Bai Ruoyu was about to leave, Mingda even agreed to let him go for a splash in the sea for the first time.
This made Bai Jingxing very excited, so he broke through May's tight defense and plunged into the sea with a splash.
Seeing this, Bai Shan took off his clothes and carried her into the sea, playing with her in the shallow water for a long time until both children were exhausted.
However, when they were picked up, they were still reluctant to leave, and decided to put playing in the sand aside, as it would be more fun to play in the sea.
After returning to Beihai County, Yin Huo and Bai Erlang began to prepare to return to Beijing.
Mingda handed a few account books to Zhou Man and said, "These are the accounts of the paper mill. Although there is a manager overseeing it, you should also check on it occasionally."
These matters were previously handled by Mingda, but since she is leaving, Zhou Man will have to take over, after all, they also have a share in the paper mill.
Zhou Man took the account book and agreed immediately.
When General Liu took office, Bai Shan went to Qingzhou City to meet General Liu early in the morning, so Zhou Man took his family to send them all the way to Qingzhou, planning to stay in Qingzhou for one night and send them away the next day.
Mingda did not intend to alarm the officials of Qingzhou, so he did not make any announcement. Even the people in Beihai County did not know that the princess and her husband were going back to Beijing.
The princess has been living in Beihai County in recent years, and both Qingzhou and Beihai County have become accustomed to the fact that there is a princess in Beihai County.
Bai Shan also came out to see them off, and accompanied them all the way to the Ten-Li Pavilion before stopping. "Take care on your journey."
Zhou Man reminded, "Keep the medicine I gave you. If you feel unwell on the way, you should consult a doctor before taking any medicine."
Yin Huo said, "It's autumn now, the weather is clear and crisp, so the journey won't be arduous. You don't have to worry too much."
Bai Erlang said, "You should also finish your work here as soon as possible and return to Beijing to reunite with us as soon as possible."
Mingda glanced at him without saying anything, and said to Manbao, "You guys take care of yourselves too."
The adults stood face to face to say goodbye, and the two little kids at their feet also stood face to face, looking at each other, and occasionally looking up at the adults.
Bai Jingxing handed his little wooden horse to Bai Ruoyu, "My mother said you have to go home to see your grandparents, so I'll give you my horse to play with first. Don't break it."
Bai Ruoyu took it, looking troubled, "I didn't prepare a gift for you."
Bai Jingxing waved his little hand generously and said, "It's okay. I'll go see my grandparents later. You can come and see me off and prepare a gift for me."
She even thought of a gift for someone, "Give me that colorful hydrangea."
"No, my grandfather gave it to me. I like it too."
"It's not like I won't give it back to you. I'll give it back to you when I get back from my grandfather's house. Just let me play with it," Bai Jingxing said, "and you must remember to return the Trojan Horse to me. Don't break it."
After Bai Jingxing returned home, he didn't see Bai Ruoyu for several days. When he asked his grandmother, he found out that Bai Ruoyu might not come back. She immediately burst into tears and ran out while crying. She was hugged and stretched out her body hard. "My wooden horse, my wooden horse, Dabao, Dabao, wow, wow, you are lying, ah——"
Zhou Man and Bai Shan were startled by her crying and ran out to see her sitting on the ground, crying loudly with her little face tilted up. Although she was looking towards the sky, her tears were falling like beads from a broken string.
Zhou Man was instantly distressed. He went forward to hug her, patted her back and asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong? Why are you crying so miserably?"
Bai Shan also looked distressed. He took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears and looked at Zheng who was helpless beside him. "Mother, what happened to her?"
Zheng said helplessly, "She didn't know that Dabaoer wasn't coming back. She thought it was just like before, that he would go out with his parents for two or three days and then come back."
Zhou Man and Bai Shan hurriedly comforted her, "Don't cry, if you really miss Dabaoer, then write him a letter."
Zhou Man coaxed her, "You know a lot of words, don't you? Writing a letter is the same as talking. It's just that he hears it later, and you hear the reply later too. It's almost the same as if the person is right next to you."
Bai Jingxing was no longer a three-year-old child. She was four years old, so she sobbed and said, "Mother lied."
"Nonsense, mother never lies," Zhou Man said, "If you don't believe me, write a letter and I'll have someone deliver it to Dabao. Let's see if Dabao will reply. Is it the same as if he were talking to you in person?"
Bai Jingxing hiccuped and sobbed as he agreed.
Zhou Man held her in his arms as he went to write a letter, but it was the first time she had been separated from her friends for such a long time, and she was still not used to it. Therefore, even after she finished writing the letter, she was still twitching as she lay on the bed.
Zheng felt so distressed when she saw this that she touched her head and said, "How about asking your parents to give birth to a brother or sister for you, and then you can take them out to play with them, okay?"
Bai Jingxing's eyes immediately lit up, "I have brothers and sisters?"
Bai Shan and Zhou Man: ...
