Chapter 601 Grain in Ear
Manbao put on the mask and quietly opened the door to go out. Zhou Lijun saw her peeking through the screen and couldn't help but stick his head out to take a look. He was shocked.
"Aunt, what are you doing?"
Manbao made a hushing sound, signaling her to be quiet, then tiptoed out.
Zhou Lijun: "...Aunt, it's wrong to scare people."
Manbao had already closed the door and slipped out.
Manbao walked to Bai Erlang's window and knocked.
Bai Erlang, who had already made his bed and was secretly reading a storybook, frowned when he heard a knock on the window. He went to open the window and shouted, "Zhou Man, what are you doing again?"
As soon as he opened it, a ghost face suddenly came up to him. Bai Erlang was startled, but because he guessed that it was Manbao outside the window, his heart just beat violently.
He frowned, "You can't scare me."
Manbao took off his mask, then looked behind him with a look of horror, pointing at him with trembling fingers without saying a word.
Bai Erlang's body stiffened and he turned his head stiffly. A ghost face suddenly appeared from below. Bai Erlang was so scared that he screamed and rolled off the small couch by the window, waving his hands wildly.
Bai Shanbao took off his mask and burst into laughter with Manbao.
Bai Erlang saw the two of them clearly and yelled angrily: "Bai Shan, Zhou Ba——"
Bai Erlang's roar caused Mr. Zhuang to ruin a piece of paper. Zhou Silang, who was taking a bath in the dark, almost slipped and fell. Daji opened the window and took a look over here, then calmly turned around and continued to make the bed to prepare for sleep.
The cook who was preparing ingredients for the next day's breakfast had a trembling hand and accidentally spilled half a bowl of rice on the ground.
Even Zhou Lijun, who was well prepared, was shocked.
There was a bustle in Bai Erlang and Bai Shanbao's room. After being frightened, he was so angry that he grabbed the pillow on the bed and chased Bai Shanbao to beat him. He beat him into the yard and even beat Manbao.
The three of them fought for a while until Mr. Zhuang warned them in the study not to disturb others, and Bai Erlang stopped reluctantly.
Bai Erlang threatened the two men, "Just wait!"
Bai Shanbao laughed heartily, then said, "Don't be angry, I'll treat you to a delicious meal tomorrow."
Manbao also said: "I will buy you a toy."
Bai Erlang snorted and went back to the house holding the pillow.
After this commotion, he didn't want to sleep anymore, but he also didn't want to read the storybook, so he simply took out his mask to play with.
Manbao also slipped back into his room with a smile, looking forward to going out to play tomorrow.
The next day was the fourth day of the fifth lunar month, which is Grain in Ear. In the past, at this time, if they were in Qili Village, they would prepare to go to the fields to check on the wheat. If it was harvestable, they would prepare to start harvesting the wheat with sickles.
After harvesting the wheat, we have to prepare for the sowing of late rice. The rice seedlings that were planted earlier also need to be fertilized and weeded...
But this was in Yizhou City, they had no fields or land, so everyone, including Zhou Silang, could play to their heart's content.
But he doesn't like playing with them.
He prefers making money to playing.
So is Zhou Lijun.
Therefore, the uncle and nephew went to do other things early in the morning. Mr. Zhuang didn't like to play with the three little kids. He had to go out to meet friends in the next two days, so he waved his hand and let them play by themselves.
So the three of them excitedly took Daji and ran to meet Wei Chen.
Wei Chen stood beside the carriage and waved at the three of them. Seeing that everyone else had nothing except Manbao, who was carrying a small cloth bag, he couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you drive the carriage?"
Bai Shanbao: "It's inconvenient to catch a bus with so many people on the road."
"But we're going to the Yizhou Palace. It's so far. Do we have to walk there if we don't take a car?"
Manbao asked curiously, "What are we going to do over there? We can just play on Kangxue Street."
"Oh, we live on Kangxue Street, and we haven't had enough fun in the last few days. If we have a holiday, we'll naturally go somewhere farther away." Wei Chen was particularly experienced in playing. He said, "I've heard about it. There's a blessing ceremony outside the Yizhou Palace today, and the Nuo opera also starts there. Many people are rushing there to watch the excitement."
The three little ones were immediately excited when they heard this, but they were too lazy to go back and drive the carriage, so they all looked at Wei Chen's carriage.
Wei Chen looked at the two of his own party, then at the four people opposite him, and said in confusion, "Although you are young and don't look heavy, but with so many people in one carriage..."
"There's enough room. We came all the way from Luojiang County to Yizhou, and there were always four people in the car. Adding two of you shouldn't be a problem."
Bai Shanbao: "Yes, and your horse looks taller and stronger than mine."
Bai Jilang: "The carriage is also bigger than ours."
Wei Chen: "...Okay, come up."
The three of them immediately climbed onto the carriage. Daji and Tongjia looked at each other, and silently sat on each side of the carriage, then drove the carriage towards the street of the Yizhou Palace.
Kangxue Street was bustling, but when they left Kangxue Street and reached the main street, they found that it was even more lively here, and the closer they got to the Yizhou Palace, the more crowded it was.
Some carried baskets, some carried backpacks, some brought their families with them, and some drove horse-drawn carts, mule-drawn carts, ox-drawn carts, and some rode donkeys...
In short, there are too many people, and when there are too many people, accidents are more likely to happen.
I don’t know if the people in the car in front suddenly braked or their horses were running too fast, but the two cars suddenly collided with each other.
Well, actually, their car hit their car, and then it suddenly stopped. The four people who were sitting by the window and looking out with great interest suddenly leaned forward and fell together.
Manbao pushed Bai Shanbao away and rubbed his forehead before sitting up. The window of the carriage next to him opened and heard a loud noise, "How do you drive the carriage? Can you even watch the road?"
The Tong family said unhappily, "It was you who suddenly stopped the car that caused us to collide, and we were in the outermost lane, and it was you who crossed the lane."
This is a four-lane road, the largest main street in Yizhou City. Two cars can run side by side in both directions.
The lanes are all designated.
Manbao covered his head and leaned over the window to look down, and sure enough, he saw that one of their wheels had slipped onto their lane.
The people in the opposite car were also opening their windows, and when the two sides saw each other, they immediately became unhappy.
The former friends, who had broken up for nearly a month, were extremely jealous when they met.
Qi Jue said sarcastically, "Why are you here again? Nothing good ever happens when I run into you."
Bai Shanbao refused to give in and retorted, "We should be the ones saying this. Your car has crossed the line, don't you know..."
"Your car hit our car, so it's mainly your fault."
Manbao: "If you were driving in your own lane, would our car have hit yours?"
Both sides leaned against the window and started arguing with each other.
However, despite the quarrel, both sides moved their cars away and continued on their way.
When the other team's driver saw that his young master knew the other team, he stopped fighting with the Tong family. When the Tong family saw that his masters were arguing, he certainly would not add fuel to the fire. He obediently hit the horse and gave the other team some space, allowing their carriage to get back on track.
good evening
