The Zhou family never allowed Manbao to go near the river. This was the first time Manbao had such close contact with the river. She happily soaked her hands in the water and had a great time.

I turned my head and saw that Erya was immersed in rubbing her clothes. She also pulled a piece of clothing and rubbed it like her, then put it into the water and stirred it, and then imitated everyone else's example of wringing it dry.

Erya watched silently, waiting for her to wash the clothes again, then quickly washed the clothes and took her sister-in-law home. She was already prepared to be beaten when she went back.

Man Bao was still in high spirits, "The river water is really cool. It's so fun. Erya, I will accompany you to wash clothes from now on."

"No," Erya refused, "Sister-in-law, if you don't tell me whether you can wash it clean or not, if Nai Nai finds out, I will still get beaten. You should just play with Er Tou at home."

"No, I just want to play with water," Man Bao said, "I have already agreed with my second sister-in-law that I will teach you how to read in the future, and then you have to take me to wash clothes."

Erya was a little hesitant, "My mother agreed?"

"Of course," Man Bao said proudly, "I've been begging for it for a long time."

Erya was half convinced and as soon as he got home, he took his sister-in-law and went to the kitchen to find her mother.

Feng was making breakfast. When she saw Erya, she asked her to come over and help light the fire, and asked Manbao to go out and stop smoking in the kitchen.

Erya went to light the fire and asked, "Mom, did I say you promised to let me learn to read?"

Feng glanced at Man Bao, who was looking at her proudly with her little chest puffed out, and coaxed: "Yes, yes, as long as you can make money by reading, I will promise you."

When Erya heard that there was such a prerequisite, her whole face turned bitter.

Seeing that she was about to cry, Man Bao couldn't help but drag her out and said to Feng: "Second sister-in-law, Erya hasn't dried her clothes yet, I'll go dry them with her."

"Hey," Mrs. Feng only had time to shout before Manbao dragged Erya away.

Feng had no choice but to light the fire by herself.

Manbao pulled Erya into the yard and whispered, "Are you stupid? You've already said that you need to learn to read and make money, so how can you make money if you don't know how to read?"

The tears in Erya's eyes couldn't be shed. She belatedly clarified this sentence, blinked, sobbed and asked: "Still, can it still be like this?"

"Anyway, the second sister-in-law personally agreed."

Erya thought about it and felt it was a bit unreliable, "Well, if I still can't make money after studying for a while, will my mother stop asking me to study?"

Man Bao said sternly: "Then it must be that your studies are not good enough or deep enough, so you can't make money. So in order to make money, you have to continue to study."

Erya nodded thoughtfully, "Sister-in-law, I think you are right."

Erya became happy again and went to dry the clothes.

Man Bao was short, so he handed her clothes from the side.

Erdu ran in from the outside sweating profusely. When he saw Manbao standing under the clothes drying rack, he ran up and asked, "Sister-in-law, where have you been just now? It's hard for me to find you."

"You're so stupid, I'm right by the river."

Ertou said "Oh", then thought of something, jumped up and said: "I don't want you to go to the river, okay, Erjie, you...wuwuwu."

Erya covered his mouth, and Man Bao threatened him: "If you dare to yell out, I won't give you candy in the future."

Erdu is very wronged. If you don't let me tell you, then don't tell me!

There were tears in Er Du's eyes, but he changed his words, "Sister-in-law, I have found all your manuscripts for you. You should go back and read them quickly."

Man Bao: "Don't worry, let's go pick wild flowers. I've already figured out how to make money."

Er Tou and Er Ya felt that it was very unreliable, but what could they do? This was the request of their sister-in-law, and Mrs. Qian also said, "After breakfast, you can follow us to open up wasteland and take care of your sister-in-law."

So everyone ran to the foot of the mountain cheering. Zhou Lang worked for two days in a row to clear up wasteland. The land at the foot of the mountain looked much better.

It was only about an acre, and most of the weeds had been cut, but the vines were difficult to remove, and some of the roots were too deep. Zhou Lang might not be able to dig out three of them in one day.

At this time, his hands were scratched a lot, and he was squatting on the ground staring at the root that he couldn't dig out.

Man Bao also squatted down to look at it, "Is it so difficult to hoe?"

Zhou Lang looked at her with red eyes, "So why did you ask me to open up wasteland?"

Man Bao said confidently, "Who asked you to gamble?"

Zhou Lang was choked and continued to lower his head in sorrow, "The hoe is blunt and I can't dig it out at all."

"You must not have found the right method," Manbao snorted after being reminded by Keke, and dragged him aside to let the fifth and sixth brothers dig.

Wu Lang held the hoe and said, "Dig that far?"

Man Bao waved his hand grandly, "Listen to me!"

Wu Lang could only listen to her, put aside the hoeed soil, and slowly dug a big hole in the direction of the tree roots. Then Liu Lang pulled out the roots of the tree with one force.

Everyone was silent.

Man Bao snorted proudly and asked Zhou Lang to continue digging tree roots, while she and Da Tou went up the mountain to find beautiful flowers.

By the way, she mentioned her plan, "Let the second brother help us weave some beautiful baskets. We will decorate the baskets with flowers just like yesterday, and then sell the baskets."

"Isn't that selling baskets?" Ertou said, "My father made the baskets, and the money from the sale must go to my father. He will not give it to us."

Man Bao said: "It's not that big basket, it's the small basket that my second brother made for me."

Da Ya said: "That kind of small basket can't hold anything, so no one will buy it?"

"Didn't you all like it when my second brother made it up for me?"

The children became entangled, "I like it, but adults won't buy it."

Erya said: "Children have no money."

"Then let's go find the rich kid."

Everyone thinks it’s impossible, “How can a child have money?”

They don’t have it, so they think that children all over the world are the same. In the same way, Man Bao said: “How could there not be? I have money, so there must be children like me, maybe richer than me.

We're looking for them."

Only then did Man Bao put forward his ultimate goal, "When the time comes, we will put the candies in the basket and sell them."

After hearing that there was candy in the basket, everyone became more confident and started looking for wild flowers.

Although it is autumn, there are many wild flowers on the mountain. It won’t take long before everyone is holding an armful of flowers. With Man Bao there, Da Tou and Da Ya become more courageous, leaving the three brothers who are still working hard.

, went home happily.

Wu Lang and Zhou Lang looked envious, and they only regretted that they were a few years older so that they could not take advantage of Yaomei.

But when they turned around and looked at the fourth brother who was squatting and mowing the grass, they felt much better. At least they could go to the county town tomorrow, but the fourth brother still had to come to open up wasteland.

Manbao ran home to find Zhou Dalang, but it turned out that Zhou Dalang and Zhou Dalang went to the fields.

Although the busy farming season is over, the land still needs to be plowed and cultivated for half a year so that it can be planted in spring next year.
