Chapter 629 Jealousy
Just as he finished speaking, a roar came from outside, "Uncle Jin, your fourth son and Manbao are back——"
Not only Santou heard this, but Zhou Dalang also heard it. He was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and then he stood up.
Zhou Lixue had already jumped up from the ground and ran out, "Auntie is back, auntie is back..."
It was not completely dark at this time, but there was not much light. I could still see some nearby places, but the distant places were just a hazy black.
Zhou Lixue dragged his fourth brother out and ran under the banyan tree, but saw that the road in front of him was empty and there was nothing.
He was unhappy and pulled a child to ask, "Didn't you say my aunt is back? Are you lying to us?"
"No lie, they went to the Bai family. Many people followed them."
When Zhou Lixue heard this, he immediately pulled Zhou Ligu to the other side of the river.
The carriage belonged to the Bai family, and many of the things they carried in the carriage belonged to Mr. Zhuang and Bai Shanbao and Bai Erlang. For convenience, it would naturally be better to go directly to the Bai family.
Manbao and his friends brought back a lot of things, but they have a big family.
Sure enough, as soon as the carriage stopped in front of the Bai family's door, there were three or four people shouting from behind.
Manbao jumped out of the car happily, and his two nephews jumped up happily. Bai Shanbao then got out of the car and helped his husband down as well.
He turned his head, looking somewhat displeased, and reached out to tug at the back of her collar, saying, "Hurry up and move your things. First, move my things down, and you can take them back in the car."
"No need," Manbao said with a particularly generous gesture, "We can move back home by ourselves."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Dalang also arrived with his family.
Bai Shanbao glanced at the Zhou family members who arrived one after another and said nothing.
Zhou Silang and Zhou Lijun were quickly taking things down from the car.
Whether it was something tied to the roof, something tied to the back of the car, or something stuffed in a corner, Zhou Silang knew every one of them best because he had tied them all.
It doesn't matter if you take the wrong thing or take too little, you can just exchange it tomorrow.
Soon a small pile of things was piled on the ground, and Zhou Dalang and others immediately stepped forward to help move it.
Mr. Bai and Mrs. Liu came out even later. After all, they were inside the mansion, and the servants knew about it late in the beginning, and it would be even later if they were notified.
As Mr. Bai left the house, he first glanced at his youngest son. Seeing that he hadn't lost weight, had even jumped a little taller, and looked healthy, he became happy. He grasped Mr. Zhuang's hand and said with a smile, "You've been working hard on this journey, Mr. Zhuang. Please come in and rest."
As they were talking, Liu came out with Zheng. They first found Bai Shan, took him up and down to look him over, and then went to thank Mr. Zhuang. After thanking Mr. Zhuang, they thanked Zhou Silang. In an instant, there was a commotion in front of the two families' gates.
Everyone greeted each other, you looked at me, I pulled you, and Manbao was dragged in front of Liu and others in a daze. He had mugwort water sprinkled on his face, stepped over the fire basin, was dragged into the gate, and was quickly pulled out by Zhou Erlang. Then, he was dragged across the river in a daze.
As the noisy people in the Bai family dispersed, Mr. Bai had already disappeared with Mr. Zhuang, and Bai Erlang was also pulled into the house by Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Bai.
Bai Shanbao had also disappeared. Daji, who had been squeezed out of the crowd from the beginning, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw two carriages leave and most of the crowd disperse. He walked forward, fished his bag from the carriage, and said to the two servants who remained, "The luggage on the carriage with the word 'Da' is for our young master, the one with 'Er' is for our cousin's young master, and the one with 'Zhuang' is for Mr. Zhuang. Please divide it carefully and deliver it to the different families."
He's been tired all day, so he should have a good rest.
Manbao had just crossed the river when she saw a familiar, blurry figure standing under a banyan tree. She squinted her eyes and before she could make out the person, the figure called out, "Manbao?"
Manbao recognized it immediately and ran forward happily, "Dad——"
"Oh, my old girl!" Old Zhoutou confirmed it and immediately reached out to grab Manbao who was running up. He looked at her in the dim moonlight and asked, "Have you lost weight?"
"I haven't lost weight!" Manbao asked him to touch the flesh on her face, indicating that she had not lost weight at all.
Old Zhou took Manbao home and greeted countless villagers who came out to watch along the way.
The villagers looked at the things in the arms of Lao Zhou's family and were envious. "Manbao is back. What did he bring home?"
Old Zhou smiled cheerfully and responded, "It doesn't matter what the child buys, as long as it's a thoughtful gesture."
It doesn't sound like a good thing.
And since everything is wrapped, no one can really see it.
When they returned to Old Zhou's house, Qian had already had the lights lit and the fire in the kitchen started cooking again.
Qian pulled Manbao under the lamp and looked at her carefully. She saw that her face was rosy and although she looked a little tired, she looked very energetic. She was very happy and touched her head and said with a smile: "You have grown taller. It's only been three months since we last saw you. Did you eat enough outside?"
"I'm full," Manbao smiled sheepishly, "I've never been hungry."
"That's good, that's good."
"Mom, I bought gifts for everyone, and I bought one for you."
Old Zhou had seen it a long time ago and said, "Go home when you can. Don't waste this money again. I don't know how expensive it is to buy so many things. Besides, if you want to buy something, it would be better to buy it in the county town. Why bring it back from so far away?"
Old Zhou said, "Didn't your fourth brother say that things in Yizhou City are very expensive? We have to learn to save money, okay?"
"I know, I know, Dad. These things are cheaper than what you can buy in the county town, and some of them are not available in the county town," Manbao said, "If you don't believe me, ask Fourth Brother."
Old Zhou looked at Zhou Silang.
Zhou Silang nodded repeatedly.
Manbao rummaged through the luggage and finally took out a piece of cloth and said, "Dad, I bought you a piece of cloth and a pair of shoe uppers. I'll make you a new dress for your eldest sister to wear when she gets married."
This time, the main gifts she bought for her family were fabrics and shoe uppers.
The fabrics in Yizhou City not only have a wider variety and more colors, but are also cheaper than those in the county town, so Manbao bought them without hesitation.
When I bought cloth for my mother and sister-in-law in the county town, there were only a few colors, all gray, and occasionally there were some bright colors that were fought over.
Manbao didn’t think those fabrics were ugly before, but after going to Yizhou City and visiting the cloth shops in Yizhou City, she knew what it meant to dislike them.
So this time, Manbao bought fabrics for the women in his family in bulk so that they could make two sets of clothes.
When the folded cloths were taken out, the patterns on them were particularly bright under the light, and everyone was stunned for a moment.
Feng and the others were delighted, especially the youngest, San Ya. She hugged a piece of cloth and cried, "It's so beautiful, so beautiful, mother, I want this to make clothes, I want this to make clothes."
Old Zhou looked at the fabrics, then looked at the one in his hand, and felt a little sad. Isn't the difference too big?
No, that's not right. It's about how much it will cost.
