With something to play with, the three children's eyes naturally fell on the food.

Mr. Bai did not let the three children eat at the street stalls. Instead, he led them to the restaurant and said with a smile: "We will go back after lunch. Where else do you want to go?"

They all came here when they were children. Master Bai certainly knew why the three children came to the county town.

The three little heads gathered together to discuss. There were not many places to play in the county, but there were also quite a few.

In the past, Man Bao came to the county town mostly because he had something to do, and few people could play around freely, let alone Bai Shanbao and Bai Erlang, who came to the county town less often than Man Bao.

There was nothing to do today, and Mr. Bai was with him, so the three of them let go and played.

Even Bai Erlang didn't worry much, and his father always loved him.

After lunch, the three children had a lot of fun in the county town. It was almost dusk before Mr. Bai took the three children into the carriage.

There was no nap, and the three children went crazy playing. Not long after they got on the carriage, they fell asleep, and fell asleep before they even left the city gate.

Mr. Bai could only accept his fate and put them down, protect their little heads, and let the driver slow down.

After leaving the official road and turning into the mountain road, the road was not easy to walk. Fortunately, the carriage moved slowly, and although it shook a little, it was not very bumpy.

The three children slept all the way back to Qili Village.

The carriage first delivered Man Bao to Lao Zhou's house, and then turned around and crossed the river back to Bai's house.

Manbao held an arm full of toys and happily shared them with his nieces and nephews.

Lao Zhoutou sat on the threshold watching them play and asked Manbao: "Did Mr. Bai buy these for you?"

Man Bao nodded, "Everyone has it."

Lao Zhoutou didn't say anything at this time, but turned to ask: "Did the young lady from the county magistrate's family say anything?"

Man Bao almost forgot about her good friend leaving. She only remembered it when Lao Zhou mentioned it for the first time. She took out a box from her cloth bag, opened it and showed it to her father, "This is a gift from Sister Fu to me."

of."

Lao Zhou took a look at it and saw it was a handkerchief. He smashed it and said, "It's a good thing, but you're still young and don't need it. Keep it for now and use it when you grow up."

Da Ya took a look and said with envy: "So beautiful, sister-in-law, is this the legendary silk?"

Man Bao stretched out her hand and took out a piece to look at it. It was soft and slippery to the touch. She hesitated and said, "It should be silk, right? Isn't it called a handkerchief?"

Lao Zhoutou nodded in agreement, "That's right, otherwise why would it be called a handkerchief?"

Da Ya wonders, is this really the case?

But Lao Zhoutou was right, Man Bao didn't need this thing now, so she put the box on her bookshelf.

It is said to be a bookshelf, but now there are various things placed on it besides books, so it might as well be called a storage shelf.

Man Bao placed it at the top and decided to wait until she missed Fu Wenyun before taking it out to take a look.

However, Man Bao is obviously not that worried because she is still young. She and Fu Wenyun have been exchanging letters more often, so they won't miss her too much after not seeing each other for a while.

Unlike Bai Shanbao, they see each other every day, so they miss each other closely when they are apart for a while.

Bai Shanbao felt relieved when he saw that Manbao hardly mentioned Fu Wenyun and was not worried, and then discussed many issues with her.

I was originally worried that she would be sad and didn't want her to worry too much, but today it seems there is no need.

The farm manager Liu found for them arrived.

Yes, Mrs. Liu transferred a steward from the Bai family's village to help them manage the 120 acres of land and the mountain.

Even Mr. Bai felt that the Liu family was making too much fuss. It was just over a hundred acres of land, and it was in Qili Village. It could be handed over to any long-term worker or servant. Why bother sending stewards from other villages?

However, it was agreed before that the manpower and material resources would be provided by the Liu family, so Master Bai did not say anything.

After the people arrived, Mrs. Liu asked the three children to go to the house to meet the steward.

The three children are taller than before, but in front of Liu and others, they are still children.

The steward who was invited stood aside with his hands down, and when he heard the movement, he slightly raised his head and looked at them.

The three of them were also looking at the steward curiously, and saw that he had slightly frosty hair on his temples, an old face, a silly smile, and thick fingers, obviously he often did farm work.

Mrs. Liu said: "This is Baizhong. He will be your head of the village from now on. If you have anything to do, just ask him to do it."

Man Bao politely called Uncle Bai, because Zhuangtou Bai looked a little older than her father.

Bai Shanbao glanced at her and said, "It should be called Grandpa Bai."

Bai Erlang nodded with deep understanding.

Man Bao frowned in distress.

Mrs. Liu looked amused, touched their heads and said with a smile: "You can just call him Bai Zhuangtou from now on."

Bai Zhong, who was a little uneasy, nodded repeatedly, bowed and said: "Master, Master Tang, Miss Man will just give instructions to you if you have anything to do in the future."

Before the three children came, Mrs. Liu had told Baizhong that all three children of Xiao Zhuangzi had a share, so all three of them were his masters.

Although Manbao and the others are ambitious, they are not likely to spend too much time on farming, especially since they are still young and unstable, and their main task is to study.

In fact, they were also very lazy during this period. After returning from school every day and finishing their homework, they couldn't help but hang out together. Two days ago, Zhou Lang and the others had to go up the mountain to catch bamboo rats, and the three children were still following them.

Went to join in the fun.

Although the long-term workers in the fields were plowing and fertilizing according to orders, they had no one to supervise them and were very lazy in their work.

It is impossible for the three children to go to the fields to supervise them every day, and Mrs. Liu cannot let them spend too much time on this, so she has to find a farmer for them a long time ago.

Now that Zhuangtou is here, many things can be done.

Manbao and the others only need to hide behind Zhuangtou and give instructions to him, and the rest will naturally be left to Zhuangtou to do.

Therefore, the most important thing for this Zhuangtou is not ability, but obedience and loyalty.

Especially if you are obedient, otherwise the three children will not be able to instruct others, and if they instruct others, then Zhuangzi will have no meaning of existence.

With one hundred and twenty acres of fields and a mountain with lush vegetation, it is really a very small village.

Moreover, the one hundred and twenty acres of fields were not considered fertile, and most of them were barren sandy land, but Baizhong did not dare to neglect it.

Because although he was honest, he could also see that the old lady valued this land very much. No, it should be said that she valued the three young masters. This small village seemed to be used to train and test the young masters.

So the old lady may not be looking at the output, she is looking at the three young masters, or the young master's ability to govern.

Because he knows this, Baizhong is very obedient. Even if the three little masters give wrong instructions, he will obey them without saying a word. Here, he only needs to be the hands and feet of the three little masters, and does not need to have any instructions.
