Chapter 34: Teach a Daughter
Manbao's attention was instantly diverted, and she nodded hurriedly, "Open it, open it."
Then the system screen went black, but Koko's voice was still there, "It will take some time to open the mall, please wait patiently."
Then there was no sound at all.
But Manbao was still very happy and felt full of strength. The most direct manifestation was that she was not satisfied with moving the stones out one by one. She waved her little hands and threw them directly out. However, she did not have much strength and the stones basically fell not far from her feet.
Zhou Silang saw that she had scattered all the stones that Datou and his men had piled up with great difficulty, and he yelled angrily, "Manbao!"
Manbao jumped in fright, then turned and ran away.
Erya hurriedly chased after her, as it was her turn to look after her aunt today.
Erya sent the grumbling Manbao home, and then stayed at home to help out. She just swept the yard, which was much easier than working in the fields.
Manbao went into the room and complained to Qian, "Mom, my fourth brother yelled at me just now and almost scared me to death."
Qian asked, "What did you do to offend him?"
"I didn't do anything. I was just helping him," Manbao said. "I helped him move the rocks out. There were too many of them, so I wanted to just throw them out. But he didn't appreciate it and yelled at me."
Qian said, "It must be because you didn't throw the stones away, and instead scattered them all over the ground. Aren't you asking for trouble? You deserve to be yelled at."
Manbao pouted in dissatisfaction.
Qian said, "You are still young. This kind of work is not suitable for you. You should go to school and study with the teacher. Learn more characters and numbers, and then you can help the family."
Manbao said, "Sister-in-law hasn't gone yet."
"Your sister-in-law is going to cook, and you are going to school. They are different. Can you see any student who waits for your sister-in-law to cook before going to school?"
Manbao thought about it carefully and realized that there was no answer, so he shook his head.
Qian said, "That's it, Manbao. Since you have already worshipped a teacher, you must study hard to live up to your parents and teacher's expectations of you. In the future, you should go to the mountains less often and go to school after getting up early. I have already told your sister-in-law that she will make breakfast for you when she wakes up in the morning. You can eat at noon in the school, just like those young masters, three meals a day."
Qian looked at Manbao with a deep gaze, "Manbao, you must not only be smart, but also healthy and safe, understand?"
"I know, I know," Manbao nodded his little head and said, "Mom has said it many times, nothing is more important than being alive and healthy."
Qian smiled, patted her head and said, "That's it. Now, go to the school and apologize to the teacher. You ran out so early in the morning. It's all because you followed your fifth and sixth brothers and got used to it."
Manbao stuck out his tongue and said, "Mom, my fifth and sixth brothers won't be coming home for breakfast today, so tell my sister-in-law not to leave any for them."
Qian waved her hand and said, "I know. They were never meant to be. Let's go to the school."
Manbao felt that his mother's eyes were very calm, as if she knew everything, so Manbao shrank his head and ran out.
Qian smiled slightly, closed her eyes and chanted.
Her body was already frail and she could hardly breathe if she walked faster, so she basically never left the house and spent most of her time in the house chanting sutras and praying for blessings.
Manbao ran to the school where Mr. Zhuang was teaching a class. When he saw a familiar little head sticking out of the window, he couldn't help but smile. He put down his book and waved at the head.
Manbao ran in quickly.
Mr. Zhuang smiled and said, "Why don't you come to the morning class today?"
Manbao lowered his head guiltily, whispered "I'm sorry", and then asked: "Sir, do I have to attend morning classes like Bai Er and the others in the future?"
Mr. Zhuang smiled and nodded, "Yes, I have accepted you as my disciple. I have also talked to Mr. Bai, and he agrees to your admission, so you have to attend the morning classes with other students."
Mr. Zhuang pulled Manbao in front of him and introduced him to his classmates.
Every child sitting in the classroom knows Manbao. Everyone is very familiar with him.
So those who were good friends with Manbao winked at her, and because she was short, the person sitting in the front even made room for her.
But there were also people who didn't have a good relationship with her. They didn't dare to do anything in front of the master, but they avoided the master. Many people made faces at her. Bai Erlang was the most angry, but Manbao was quite far away from him, so he couldn't even kick her stool.
If you want to know why Bai Jilang hates Manbao so much, it’s of course because Manbao is really annoying.
He was sent to school at the beginning of this year. As a seven-year-old child, he was at his most naughty. He used to be spoiled at home. His grandmother doted on him, his mother loved him, his father always praised him, and even his brother always gave in to him.
How can you sit still in school?
So he was slapped on the palm of his hand on the first day of school. Just as he was being scolded and slapped on the palm of his hand, Manbao's little head staggered up from the window.
Therefore, Bai Jilang had a bad first impression of her.
But this was not the worst. The worst thing was that when he went to school later, he found that he could not even study as well as a little girl who was younger than him and could only squat outside the window and eavesdrop.
Of course, Bai Jilang didn’t think he was stupid, but thought that Manbao was disturbing him.
Yes, it did disturb him. He was sitting by the window and Manbao was squatting outside the window. Didn't that affect him?
He had filed many complaints against his father and husband for this, but to no avail.
The teacher's answer was to move him to the other side of the window and not let him get close to it. As a result, due to the long distance, he could not threaten Manbao and could only compete with her from a distance, and his grades actually dropped.
So the teacher transferred him back. The most infuriating thing was that I don’t know how the teacher talked to his father, but his father actually agreed with Manbao lying outside the window to listen to the class and did not stop him.
What’s even more infuriating now is that she has entered the house openly.
Bai Erlang was so angry that he didn't listen to the class for the whole morning. His good friend gave him some advice, "Didn't you say that you have a very annoying cousin who is also coming to school? Let them fight. Otherwise, if you hit Manbao, the teacher will definitely be angry."
Another friend also said, "Yes, the gentleman seems to like Manbao very much. She is younger than you. You must be wrong to hit her. By the way, how old is your cousin?"
Bai Erlang thought they had come up with a good idea and said nonchalantly, "Who cares how old he is? He's a nuisance anyway. Let the two of them fight. It would be best if both of them are caught and spanked by the master."
"So how do we get them to fight?"
Bai Erlang rolled his eyes and said, " Let's go find the bugs together after class. We'll put them on Manbao's desk in class tomorrow and say it was put there by my cousin. Then they'll start fighting."
The other two children thought this was a good idea.
