Man Bao ignored him and turned to Bai Shan, "Are you going too?"

Bai Shan nodded, "Go, I heard that there are many lotus and lotus pod sellers in Huguo Temple right now, and the fresh lotus seeds are also delicious."

Man Bao immediately said: "I'll go too!"

The medical books and notes in the system were instantly forgotten.

The three of them also casually invited Liu Huan and Yin You to the side.

Yin You nodded in agreement. Liu Huan probably wouldn't go out to play for a long time, so he couldn't think of anything, so he nodded again and again.

The three parties agreed on a time to meet and parted at the palace gate, each going home first.

Manbao ran back to the main courtyard with the basket, stuffed the three wooden jars he brought out on the treasure rack, turned around and ran out. He was grabbed by the fourth sister-in-law who came back from working in the garden. She asked:

"Why did you run out just after you came back?"

Man Bao said: "My friend and I have made an appointment to go swimming in the lake."

Fang then raised his head and looked at the sun.

It was still morning, but the sun had already begun to heat up, and she knew how fierce it would be in a while. Fang stared at Manbao's fair and tender face, and was reluctant to let her go out to tan, so she said: "Put on a hat.

, By the way, I see that the girls outside seem to wear gauze hats when they go out. They look pretty good and can also provide shade. You should also go buy one and wear it."

But there was none at home at the moment, so Fang put the bamboo hat she usually wore on Man Bao's head.

Man Bao didn't mind it either, so he ran to find Bai Shan and Bai Erlang wearing a bamboo hat.

Bai Shan and Bai Erlang saw it and were envious, "If there are any more, we want one too."

Zheng on the side:...

Looking at her son's jade-like face, and then looking at the bamboo hat on Man Bao's head, Ms. Zheng opened her mouth and said weakly: "If you don't like the sun, why don't you go out?"

Bai Shan immediately said: "We are not afraid of the sun."

Zheng:……

Although he said he was not afraid, he ran to Zhou Lang and his friends' yard to look for bamboo hats.

Fang and the others really did have them, and brought them two more new ones, and said with a smile: "It gets more sunshine and less rain here than in Luojiang County. We have been here for so long, and it only rained two times in the middle of summer.

When I asked the locals about the rain, they actually said it was normal. So we bought a few more bamboo hats, thinking they would be useful even when working in the yard."

Unexpectedly, Bai Shan and the others used it before they had time to use it.

Bai Shan and Bai Erlang are also familiar with the hats. They can buckle and tie the rope on their heads without anyone's help. He also asked: "Where are they in Li Xue?"

"Went to the bookstore," Mrs. Fang said with a smile: "The calligraphy they wrote now was finally approved by the bookstore manager, so they took the books from the bookstore and came back to copy them. Today they went to hand in the work together."

Even though their family now lives in this big house, Wu Lang doesn't hide his expenses from them. After all, he has to go out from work.

After Fang's health recovered, she discussed with Mrs. Liu that she would cook and eat in the yard by herself, and Zhou Li would of course join them.

Anyway, this house is big enough, and once the courtyard gate is closed, it is a single-family house, which is no different from the houses in the countryside where each family lives in their own house.

As for Man Bao, she was at ease. Anyway, she only went home for two days every ten days. If she disliked the food cooked by Fang and the others, she would turn around and go eat with Bai Shan and the others;

If she wants to eat the food cooked by Fang and the others, she can eat it here, no one forces her.

Because they buy rice and vegetables and cook their own meals, Lao Zhou's family knows the approximate monthly expenses.

No matter how big a house they live in, their current income, apart from Man Bao's salary, is that the family only has a fixed income from the restaurant.

As for Zhou Lang, don't think about it for the moment. No matter how much money he earns, he can invest most of it when he turns around, and most of the time he is walking outside, and the money he earns cannot be used for their use.

The remaining half is in Zhou Lijun's hands. It is reserved for his hometown and cannot be spent easily. He will take it back to his parents next time he returns home.

So Zhou Lixue and the others began to practice calligraphy seriously. They suppressed their impatience a lot and were able to copy some simple books.

The money earned from one book is not much, but it is enough for them to spend on their daily study of pen and ink, so Wu Lang has another less expenditure.

Even Mr. Fang and Ms. Lu collected horse manure and piled flower fertilizer in a corner of the garden according to the gardener's method. Then they planted the entire open space in the yard where they lived and planted some vegetables in the garden.

Vegetables grow quickly in summer. It has only been a month, and some vegetables can already be supplied at home without going out to buy them. Even Mrs. Liu was very interested and went to the fields to experience them for two days.

Speaking of making money by copying books, Man Bao then remembered, "Yes, it's the first day of June, shouldn't I receive my salary?"

Bai Shan: "Will the household department also take a break today?"

Man Bao did the math and got angry, "When I was taking a break, they were taking a break too. When they were at work, I went to the palace. How could I get my salary?"

Mrs. Zheng on the side was amused when she heard this, and said happily: "What a silly boy. Why do you need to go by yourself to receive a salary?"

She received Bai Qi's salary, so she knew how to operate it.

She recalled with some nostalgia: "You have to find time to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs and hand over your door sticker and your seal to them. In the future, your family members will come to your door with the door sticker with the seal."

You can get your salary back if you go there, you don’t need to go there in person."

Man Bao was relieved, and after thinking for a while, he said: "I'll take leave to go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs on the third day of junior high school. I don't know if I should make an appointment in advance. I need to tell Liu Huan later and ask him to go back and talk to Liu Shangshu in the evening.

Just tell me, you have to wait for me on the third day of junior high school."

Liu Huan didn't expect that he could have such a role, and he was confused when he received this task.

But after being confused for a while, he felt that this was not a big deal, so he nodded, "Okay, I'll tell my grandfather, when do you plan to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs?"

Man Bao thought for a while and then said: "It should be around the time of application on the third day of the Lunar New Year. I should have come back from Daming Palace by then. I can just ask for an hour's leave from Chongwen Hall."

Bai Shan found the lotus seeds he wanted to buy, and while squatting to select them, he said: "This is not a difficult task. Just ask your grandfather to ask his clerk to wait for a while. What do you think of these?

Isn’t your son quite big?”

Man Bao also knelt down to look at it, reached out to take the lotus pods he handed over, pinched a few pods next to them and felt they were quite plump, so he nodded.

Bai Shan asked the hawker, "How to sell this?"

The hawker smiled and said: "Ten cents a piece."

Bai Shan said: "It's really expensive. It's four cents more expensive than what we bought in Yizhou City."

The hawker said proudly: "Sir, this is the capital, and the things here are more expensive than those outside."

Bai Erlang picked around and picked three. They handed them to Bai Shan and asked him to pay the bill. "We agreed that you would treat us."

Bai Shan took out a bunch of money from his wallet. Because it happened to be one hundred coins, he didn't want to open it, so he turned to Yin He and Liu Huan and said, "Would you choose one too?"
