Mr. Zhuang found that Manbao has been working very hard recently, as if he had eaten a big chicken leg, and he was reading hard every day. Correspondingly, she asked a lot of questions.
It's not that Man Bao didn't work hard in the past, it's just that she is still a child after all. Although she listened carefully in class, she would still go out to play after class. If it wasn't for him to give her and Bai Shanbao a small meal at noon every day, I'm afraid she wouldn't be much. Read extracurricular books.
But recently, even if he didn't call her by name and asked her to start a small stove, she would follow behind.
He even worked hard with Bai Shanbao. In his words, he must not let Man Bao surpass him.
Man Bao became even more excited when he heard Bai Shanbao say that, yes, how could she forget that she wanted to defeat this person who dared to be as smart as her.
Keke said that reading can make people wise, and intelligence can not only increase with age, but also increase with reading.
Waiting to grow up is too slow, and Bai Shanbao is older than her. When she grows up, he will always be older than her, but if she reads more books and knows more than him, then she Isn't it smarter than him
Hmph, Keke clearly said that she is the smartest person within a hundred miles, so why should she not be when he comes
Man Bao is full of fighting spirit.
Seeing the two children chasing after each other, Mr. Zhuang stroked his beard in relief.
But the students who were studying together didn’t feel very good. The difference was too great. At the beginning, the old students in the class could crush the two of them by virtue of their age and school age, but soon found that they were overtaken.
But children who are about ten years old are very open-minded, so they should be driven away. Anyway, they are not studying for the examiner. They will go out to find a job when they are fourteen years old. played.
Other students can think in this Buddhist way, but Bai Erlang can't.
Ever since the two of them worked hard, he has been living in dire straits. Although he was strict with him before, his father who doted on him now dislikes him no matter what. Even his grandmother and mother can't help but look at him sometimes. He sighed.
Bai Erlang was about to go mad with anger, he had several fights with Bai Shanbao and Man Bao in the school, of course he had the upper hand at the beginning, although it was a one-on-two, but his age suppressed them.
But when they played again for the second time, they were tied. Although he suffered a lot, he insisted that it was a tie.
By the third time, he was no longer able to beat them. Even so, he still enjoyed fighting with them, because he had no other place to beat them except physically.
Looking at Mr. Zhuang, he always felt that this disciple was a bit stupid, but because of his improvement compared to before, he decided to turn a blind eye and pretend that he didn't know. Anyway, both sides are not at a disadvantage, are they
Because Bai Erlang threw bugs at them today, Man Bao asked Bai Shanbao to go to Bai Erlang's house to do homework together.
Bai Erlang seemed to know this, he ran out of the classroom immediately after school, ran home first, and said to the concierge, "Close the door, and don't allow Bai Shan and Zhou Man to come in!"
The concierge said: "Second Young Master, Eldest Young Master has gone home, Master and Eldest Young Master are in the hall."
Bai Erlang's eyes lit up, and he rushed to the main room with the bookcase on his back, "My elder brother is back, you are not allowed to let outsiders in, you know?"
The concierge narrowed his eyes with joy, "Don't worry, Second Young Master, Master is happy today, and will definitely not hit you."
Bai Erlang ran away early and disappeared.
Man Bao and the others ran over with a small bookcase on their backs. When the concierge saw them, the smile on his face became brighter, and he bent slightly to talk to them, "Master Shan, Miss Zhou, our young master today I'm back, Second Young Master probably won't have time to do homework for the time being."
Man Bao felt a little regretful.
Bai Shanbao was also very sorry, but if people don't do their homework, they can't be forced, can they
So he turned back and invited Man Bao, "Will you write at my house?"
Man Bao shook his head, "He won't write. I'll write after dinner. I want to see my ginger and yam first."
Bai Shanbao's eyes lit up, "I'll go with you to see whether my ginger grows better or yours."
"OK."
Bai Shanbao first took the bookcase home to the porter, and then went back to Zhou's house with Man Bao.
It's early autumn now, and the ginger has grown very tall. The Manbao kind grows the best in the vegetable garden. Originally, only a dozen yuan were planted, but now it has grown a large piece, because she puts enough fat. , they derive many.
But Bai Shanbao insisted, "Your is not as good as mine, mine is longer than yours."
"Mine is thicker than yours." Man Bao said, "My ginger must also grow more than yours."
Bai Shanbao, "When I divide them, they can fill a flower garden, and there will be more than yours."
Man Bao took him to the field to see her entire field of ginger, and said proudly, "That's not as much as mine."
Bai Shanbao: "..." He felt that he lacked a piece of land.
Man Bao’s land is at the foot of the mountain, and there is mostly unowned wasteland around here, and the fields farther away are fields. At this time, melons and beans are planted in the fields, and rice is planted in the fields, and the leaves of the beans have turned yellow. , It’s almost time to harvest. Some farmers are coming to see the crops. When they see Man Bao and the others standing beside the field, someone laughs and asks, "Man Bao, come to see your land again. How does Jiang look?"
Man Bao was proud, "It's alright, when my ginger is ready, brother come to my house to buy some."
Someone laughed, "It's not the New Year's holiday, why buy this thing, there's no meat to stew and eat."
Now everyone in the village knows that Zhou's family planted ginger on the wasteland. At first, everyone took it as a joke, but now seeing the green ginger sticks growing in the field, no one dares to laugh anymore.
This thing really worked out for them.
They themselves know how expensive ginger is, because every family will go to the grocery store to buy some to take home during the New Year and holidays, or stew meat, or make ginger soup, and some people who pay attention to it will also make tea.
Such a large area of ginger, no, it is two large areas, and there are more than two cents of land next to Zhou Xi that is planted with ginger.
But there were also people who worried about the Zhou family, "Can you sell so much ginger?"
Man Bao is particularly open-minded, "If you can't sell it, you can continue to grow it. If you plant it in winter, it will be old ginger. If you can dig it up and dry it in the sun, and then sell it in spring and summer, it will be dried ginger, which is more expensive."
Well, it seems that no matter what the drought and flood, the harvest is guaranteed.
Many people looked at these two ginger fields with envy, and some people went to talk to old Zhou Tou, hoping to get some seeds from him to plant. But I can't be their master, the fourth child owes gambling debts, he planted this to pay off the gambling debts, baby, I usually want to pick a piece of it back and fry it, but he refuses."
This is unwilling.
Some people couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, so Zhou Zhoulang saw several pieces of ginger secretly dug up in the field twice in a row. He was so angry that he asked his three brothers to build a grass shed beside the field for him. , He rolled up the bed and came here to watch after eating every day.
An individual villager who was about to touch two pieces of ginger in the dark: …
