Chapter 336 Do You Know
"Yeah," Manbao was just excited and now didn't want to sleep anymore, so he just lay on the bed and chatted with her, "We suffered a flood here this year, and life is very difficult, so we have to plant a season of winter wheat."
Dr. D really couldn't understand why winter wheat had to be planted after a flood, but as a professor of biology, she was very knowledgeable about the cultivation of winter wheat, the most basic food crop.
So she started chatting with Manbao about planting winter wheat.
Manbao fell silent as she looked at the long email. What should she do? She couldn't understand a lot of it, such as what type of nutrient solution and how many bottles should be used for one kilogram of wheat seeds. She knew every word, so why couldn't she understand them when they were put together?
Manbao thought for a moment and asked, "Then do you know how ancient people planted winter wheat and increased its yield?"
Dr. D was silent for a moment, then he remembered that Mr. Zhou seemed to come from a world with a very low level of technology. In this case, she should be at the ancient level?
Of course, Dr. D also knew about this, so he sent another lengthy article.
Manbao looked at it and found that he still didn't understand. It said that ancient people used to apply nitrogen fertilizer and other fertilizers to wheat fields. One acre of land would need to be applied...
Oh, Manbao only knows that fertilizer is also made at home, but it is not called nitrogen fertilizer or potassium fertilizer, it is just called fertilizer.
Manbao asked weakly, "Then do you know how primitive people planted winter wheat and increased its yield?"
Dr. D fell completely silent.
This time, Manbao waited for a very long time but did not receive any message from her. Then her biological clock took effect. She could not help but yawn and simply exited the system and fell asleep with the quilt in her arms.
Manbao got up early the next morning, washed and went to school.
She heard the system beeping during class at noon. Manbao was taking notes and didn't pay attention when Keke reported to her, "The wheat seeds have arrived, a full 1,000 kilograms."
Manbao nodded, his mind still on the class. It took him a while for these words to sink into his heart, and he felt a little excited.
It was time to leave school, Mr. Zhuang announced the end of get out of class, and everyone rushed out of the classroom to get lunch.
Manbao was two steps slower and ran to ask Mr. Zhuang for leave, saying that she had to go home at noon today and could no longer prepare special meals for him.
Mr. Zhuang waved at her and agreed.
Manbao ran to the kitchen and got his meal from his sister-in-law, then ran home with the bowl.
At noon, the sun was quite strong. Qian was taking a nap in the house. The third and fourth sisters-in-law were sitting under the eaves doing needlework. Datou and the others had gone somewhere, and Santou was playing in the yard with his younger brothers and sisters.
Manbao was peeking outside the door and was seen by Fang, but before she could say anything, Manbao put his fingers to his mouth and made a hushing sound, then ran to the small courtyard next door with the bowl in his hand.
Santou led Sanya and Sitou to chase after them immediately.
Fang turned around and asked He, "Third sister-in-law, what is Manbao doing?"
He was used to it and said, "Don't worry about her. She either forgot something or remembered something fun and came back to get it. She has always been sensible. It's normal for children to be naughty."
Fang: "...Is it like this?"
Mrs. He nodded nonchalantly. "Yes, children need to be supervised, but you can't control everything. Look at my little Siu-tzu. As long as he doesn't go to the river or steal things, I never care about him. Otherwise, with so many children at home, if I have to supervise and question everything they do, I'll have nothing to do all day long but keep busy with the children."
She learned this from her eldest and second sister-in-law. It is said that her eldest and second sister-in-law learned it from her mother-in-law.
Manbao ran to the door of Fifth Brother's room and stuffed the bowl to Santou. Seeing that they were drooling over the food in her bowl, she said, "I'll give you half. You are not allowed to finish it."
Santou is only one month older than Manbao, but his intelligence is far inferior to Manbao. He always thinks of himself as a child, so he nodded very impolitely and gave way to his younger brothers and sisters.
As for his sister-in-law, she was never within his scope of humility.
The three children sat on the steps under the eaves and began to eat, taking turns to eat, while Manbao opened Zhou Wulang's door and went in.
Except for Mr. Zhou's room, which has a key, the doors of other rooms in Lao Zhou's house are not locked. They are locked from the inside and are usually ajar.
Manbao went in without any hesitation, dragged out a stool, stood on it and climbed into the granary, then asked Koko to replace the wheat.
Of course, not all of them were replaced. After all, there were only 2,000 kilograms of wheat seeds. She replaced most of them, then climbed out of the granary and ran to Zhou Liulang's room next door to replace some as well.
Santou and his younger brothers and sisters were so engrossed in eating that they couldn't help themselves. When they saw their aunt running out of their fifth uncle's room and going to their sixth uncle's room, they just looked up.
But he felt that his aunt was disobedient because her clothes were dirty and she must have crawled under the bed or into the granary.
They also like to go into these two places when playing hide-and-seek, but every time they come out and meet adults, they will be beaten.
Manbao was sitting on the wheat and felt the wheat grains were a little prickly. When he was about to change his position, Keke suddenly said, "Your sixth brother is back."
As soon as he finished speaking, Keke immediately stopped changing. A moment later, Zhou Liulang pushed the door open and saw Manbao lying on the edge of the granary and trying to climb out.
The brother and sister looked at each other in bewilderment. Manbao blinked, trying to get away with it, but Zhou Liulang gritted his teeth at the wheat grains on her clothes: "Manbao!"
Manbao climbed out of the granary nimbly, and when he patted his clothes, the wheat grains on his clothes flew off.
Zhou Liulang hurried to pick it up, lowering his voice to scold, "Why did you crawl in there? If Dad finds out, he'll beat you. No, beat me!"
Thinking of this, Zhou Liulang didn't dare to let his father know anymore. He hurriedly patted her clothes, while feeling sorry for the wheat grains that had fallen all over the ground.
"You're not going to school? You're not taking a nap?" Zhou Liulang felt a little dizzy when he remembered seeing Santou and the others gathered together eating from a bowl when he walked in. "Have you had lunch?"
Manbao shook his head honestly.
Zhou Liulang wiped her clean and didn't bother to clean up the wheat grains on the ground. He ran out to see that the three children had eaten most of the food and only a little was left.
Zhou Liulang: ...
The third one raised his head and said warily, "This belongs to my aunt."
Zhou Liulang couldn't help but pat his head, "You know it's your aunt's, but you still eat it? Eat, eat, eat..."
Looking at the three heads that were smaller than Manbao, Zhou Liulang was speechless.
Finally he stamped his feet and shouted, "Hurry up and finish your meal and wash the dishes."
Manbao caught up from behind and shouted, "I haven't eaten yet..."
"What are you eating? There's not much left." Zhou Liulang dragged her to the kitchen. "Come on, Brother Liu will make you some porridge."
