Chapter 633 Getting Married (I)
Manbao wandered around the county town for most of the day, trying all the delicious food in his sister-in-law's shop. Finally, Zhou Liulang sent him home with a bulging belly.
Life at home is naturally comfortable. Without going to school, Manbao doesn't even read books. At most, he organizes some previous pulse cases and prescriptions every day, writes them in a blank notebook, and then sends an email to Teacher Mo in the evening.
Occasionally I would read Teacher Mo’s emails during the day and then communicate with him in the evening.
She can eat very full every day. I don’t know if it’s because she hasn’t been home for a long time and her parents love her, or because there is a happy event coming up at home and there are so many delicious foods at home, so she can eat very full every day. If she hadn’t studied medicine and knew that eating too much is not good for her, she would actually want to eat too much.
Two days later, a servant of the Bai family came to the door and bowed, saying, "Miss Man, the young master wants you to go over and look at the accounts of the farm."
Manbao then remembered that he had not yet visited their small farm.
When she lazily arrived at the Bai family's house, she found Bai Shan and Bai Erlang playing with toys, with the account books thrown aside.
Seeing Manbao, the two of them greeted her lazily and invited her to play games with them.
Manbao saw the cheese on the table, still chilled in ice. She exclaimed, reached out and took a bowl and sat next to them.
"You guys really know how to enjoy yourself. You even have cold dishes to eat."
Bai Shan proudly said: "It's better to be at home?"
Manbao nodded vigorously.
Bai Erlang said, "I slept until noon these past two days. It was so refreshing."
Bai Shan patted his shoulder and said, "There are not many days like this left, so you should cherish them."
Bai Erlang shook his shoulders and said, "You're so annoying! Can't you just let me immerse myself in this?"
Manbao lowered his head to eat cheese and said happily, "It's a pity that the cheese sold in Yizhou City is too expensive. It's more cost-effective to make it myself."
Bai Shan's attention was diverted, and he said, "We have to buy the sheep that can produce milk, right?"
"There's goat milk for sale on the street. Buy some ice, but it's more expensive than milk." Manbao took another bite, feeling the coolness, and said, "Forget it. Let's eat at home before going to Yizhou City."
Bai Shan reached out and grabbed the account book on the table and threw it to her, saying, "We have money."
Manbao flipped through the account and saw one of the items. He exclaimed, "Can the peaches and pears be sold?"
"Yes, if you're not sleepy tomorrow, let's go up the mountain to pick fruit?" Bai Shan said.
Manbao and Bai Erlang said it was no problem.
I looked through the account and found that although it was only June, there was still a lot of money in the account.
The main reason was that Zhou Silang adhered to the principle of keeping things within the family, so after selling all his good wheat seeds, the first person he looked for was Bai Zhuangtou.
After all, at least one-third of the money earned by the small farm belongs to his youngest sister, right?
Therefore, Xiaotianzhuang’s income in the first half of this year is higher than last year.
Manbao flipped through the account book and did some mental arithmetic, but found nothing wrong. She glanced at the total amount, calculated the money she would get, and became happy. "When I go to Yizhou City again, I will eat two bowls of ice cream a day."
Bai Shanbao immediately said, "There's a Mi Xin Tang restaurant outside the prefectural school. Their ice jelly is delicious."
Manbao and Bai Erlang immediately looked up at him, their eyes full of accusations, "Have you eaten it?"
Bai Shan paused and said, "Wei Chen treated me to a meal."
Manbao and Bai Erlang both looked incredulous, "I've never heard you mention it."
"When we get back to Yizhou City, I'll treat each of you to a bowl."
The two of them then let him go with a hum, "Okay, you remember this."
Manbao handed the account book to Baishan for inspection and said casually: "My eldest sister is getting married on the twelfth day of her marriage. Remember to come to my house for the wedding banquet."
"Your family didn't send wedding invitations to my family."
"Why send out wedding invitations? We never send out wedding invitations at home," Manbao said after a pause, "but if you want a wedding invitation, I can write one for you."
Bai Shan: "Forget it, did you invite us, or did your family invite both of us?"
"I invited you," Manbao said, "My father said that we won't invite many people this time, only relatives and friends, but I thought that you are my dear junior brothers and sisters, and my eldest sister's wedding is such a happy event, you should at least share my joy."
Bai Shan & Bai Jilang: ...
The two junior brothers looked at each other, not daring to sigh out loud, and just nodded and said yes.
They were not very familiar with Zhou Xi, so they did not need to prepare any special gifts; they could just give him a cash gift.
On the twelfth day, the two dressed up, took the gift money and went to Lao Zhou's house to attend the wedding banquet.
Early in the morning, the Zhou family's house became bustling with people slaughtering pigs, killing chickens, and picking vegetables, all busy.
By the time relatives and friends had helped to prepare most of the dishes, the guests had arrived one after another.
Zhou Xi was sitting in her boudoir in her wedding dress, and Manbao was sitting beside her obediently. Every female guest who came in would come to the boudoir at the end and say a lot of wedding words to Zhou Xi, and Zhou Xi just had to lower her head and listen.
It was the first time for Manbao to sit in the bridal chamber and watch the bride getting married. He was particularly interested and looked at the people passing by with his round eyes, listening to all the happy words they said.
When the three aunts of the Qian family arrived, there were not many people left in the bridal chamber, so they simply sat down and held Zhou Xi's hands and talked.
When the other relatives saw this, they wisely left. As the banquet had already started outside, they went up to the table to eat first.
Suddenly, only the Qian family and the Zhou family were left in the room.
Aunt Qian then took Zhou Xi's hand and quietly asked, "Have you seen a doctor? Is Guan Xin okay?"
Zhou Xi blushed and shook his head, then thought about it and immediately nodded.
Aunt Qian cried out, "Is there something wrong with you, or is there nothing wrong with you?"
Manbao, who was secretly gnawing on the bone, couldn't help but explain for his elder sister, "Aunt, what my elder sister meant is that Brother Guan has seen a doctor, and the doctor said there is no problem."
Aunt Qian only then saw Manbao. Seeing her holding a large bowl of bones, she was stunned for a moment, "Manbao, if you are hungry, go and sit at the table. You don't need to accompany me in this room."
Manbao shook his head, "I'm not hungry."
Zhou Xi smiled and said, "Aunt, don't ask her to eat. She hasn't stopped eating since this morning. Sister-in-law feeds her like she's feeding her everything. Every time she goes into the kitchen, she stuffs something in her mouth and holds something in her hands."
My second aunt immediately asked, "Did you eat it too?"
"I ate some."
"You'd better eat less. The road from here to the county town is not close. Once you get there, you won't be able to go to the bathroom even when you get married or enter the bridal chamber."
Manbao said: "It's still a long time before you get married, don't worry, just eat less in the afternoon."
The second aunt tapped her forehead and said, "Be careful, your sister might have a stomachache. That's unlucky."
Aunt Qian also nodded and whispered, "You will suffer for one day, but you must not give people anything to talk about."
Then he rushed to Manbao and said, "Go out and have a seat at the banquet. If you don't want to have a seat, go back to your room. Don't be greedy for your elder sister here."
As soon as Manbao stood up, Aunt Qian saw her belly and couldn't help but touch it. She scolded her with a smile, "It's not even noon yet, and look how much you've eaten. Your sister-in-law is really a fool to give you so much to eat."
Manbao held the basin, oh no, it was a big bowl, stuck out his tongue and ran away.
The only girl in the room ran away, and Aunt Qian then pulled Zhou Xi aside to talk to her in private, which only married women would say.
The next update will be around 9pm
