Not only did Old Master Bai give them New Year's money, Mrs. Bai Senior and Mrs. Bai also gave them some, and 'one's hand is soft from taking', even though Manbao and Bai Shanbao were young, they understood this principle already.
Therefore, the two recipients, with one on each side, took Bai Erlang by the hand and pulled him to play with them.
Bai Erlang reluctantly ran outside with them, and once outside, he asked, "What are you playing?"
"We're going to look for mushrooms growing on decayed leaves and dung, and transplant them to the manure heaps at my home, to make them produce more and help decompose the fertilizer."
Bai Erlang was stunned, "What's fun about that?"
Bai Shanbao said, "It's fun. Even if you dig out the soil they're growing in to transplant them, they might not survive. Manbao and I are competing to see who can find more and whose transplants have a higher survival rate."
