As soon as these words came out, not to mention Friday Lang and Saturday Lang, even Datou and Daya couldn't help but look up and look down on him, "Fourth Uncle, have you finished studying "Thousand Characters"?"
Fang couldn't help giggling, raised her hand and slapped him on the arm, "If you don't learn some things, who will teach the children how to read?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly closed her mouth, her face flushed slightly.
Like Zhou Zhoulang, she suspected that she was pregnant, but she couldn't be sure. In the past two days, she had been thinking with him about having a baby in the future, but at this moment she slipped her mouth.
Fortunately, there were a group of children or half-grown children around at this time, and no one noticed what she said, so she breathed a sigh of relief, and the eldest girl said, "Don't worry, Sishen, we will teach our younger brothers and sisters when the time comes."
The big head also nodded, patted his chest and said: "If it's a younger brother, then we'll take it; if it's a younger sister, we'll take it for Da Ya and the others."
Zhou Zhoulang waved his hand in disgust, "Go, go, I won't bring it for you. I will bring it myself. Isn't it just "Thousand Characters", I will learn it soon."
He turned his head and said to Man Bao: "Man Bao, isn't your book useless? Lend it to your fourth brother. From now on, I will get up early and go to bed late every day to read. The reason why I am slower than them is because I have learned more. Little, I don’t want to talk about the old five and the sixth, but I followed your ass every day for the first two years, can’t I learn quickly?”
Man Bao thought about it, and felt that what the fourth brother said was quite reasonable. In those two years, Zhou Zhoulang was burdened with debts, and his study time was more than half less than that of the fifth brother.
She never discourages everyone's enthusiasm for learning, so Man Bao waved his hand and said: "No problem, I will lend you the book, but fourth brother, you have to keep it and don't damage it."
All her books were copied and bound by her husband and given to her.
When she finishes writing, reads, and is familiar with writing, she will write a copy in neat fonts, and then return it after binding.
So in addition to the books that cannot be taken out and displayed at Keke's place, there are only a few books that Manbao can put on the bookshelf.
And because these books are not easy to come by, she cherishes them very much.
The Zhou family also knew that books were precious, and they never dared to rummage through her bookshelves, but everyone borrowed her books to read.
Regardless of whether it is old or young, everyone cherishes it very much, even if the pages of the book are turned softly, everyone is very careful.
However, Zhou Lang's borrowing is obviously different from everyone else's borrowing. If you want to borrow it, you will only borrow it for a long time, and then return it after reading it. Zhou Lang obviously wants to borrow it for a long time.
Everyone suspected that he was going to use books to teach Fang to read.
Regarding this, Datou and the others were still ignorant, while Wu Wulang and Saturday Lang just winked at him.
It was lively here, and the old Zhou who came out of the bath saw that the sky was going to be dark, and his wife hadn't come back. He was a little unhappy, and shouted again: "Master, go to Zhou Hu's house to see, why hasn't your mother-in-law come back?" return?"
"If you haven't given birth yet, I will take it back," he said, "Your mother-in-law hasn't taken her medicine at night. She is not in good health, so she can't stay up late."
Mrs. Xiaoqian responded, and came out of the room to go to Zhou Hu's house.
Man Bao jumped up and followed, "Sister-in-law, I'll go with you."
"No, why are you a child joining in the fun?" Xiaoqian said: "It's dark, children can't go outside, otherwise it's not good to be bumped into by a passing fairy."
Man Bao was stunned, "Isn't it good to be a fairy? Isn't it good to meet a fairy?"
"It depends on what time it is. It's not good to bump into him when we go out for a walk at night." In short, Xiaoqian kept Manbao behind for various reasons.
He smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, let me go with you."
Although there is nothing to be afraid of in the village, Zhou Hu's house is at the end of the village, and the moon is not good tonight, so it is better to have someone to accompany him.
Besides, she and Zhou Hu's daughter-in-law are not only from the same village, but also have a good relationship, so she also wants to check the situation.
Xiaoqian breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "That's fine, let's go and have a look together."
The sister-in-law walked away holding hands.
Man Bao stood at the door with a regretful face and watched them leave.
Zhou Xi passed by and saw her, so he took her back to the room, "I'll make you a dress, come, eldest sister will measure your height."
When Man Bao heard this, he immediately followed.
"Sister, why did you make me new clothes?"
Zhou Xi smiled, nodded her nose and said, "Because Eldest Sister is happy."
Seeing her smiling, Man Bao felt that the elder sister was really in a good mood, so she was also happy, and raised her arm to measure her height.
"Our Manbao has grown taller again," Zhou Xi said with a smile, "I bought this piece of cloth before to make clothes for myself. At that time, I wanted to make you a new dress, but my mother said you had it, so let me buy it for you." I'll keep it, I think it's okay to do it when you grow taller, lest you get all the new clothes together, and when you grow taller in the future, you won't have any new clothes to wear."
Man Bao has really grown taller. This dress was made last year, and the reserved cloth was released at the beginning of spring, but now it is a little shorter.
Now that the wrist is exposed, in a few months, Zhou Xi estimates that Man Bao will have to expose the small half of his arm.
She touched Man Bao's leg and asked, "Does it hurt so fast?"
Man Bao thought for a while and said, "It doesn't hurt during the day, but sometimes it hurts at night. I suspect it's going to rain."
Every time it rains, Niang says her back is sore and her legs are sore. She thinks her legs can also predict the weather, but it seems to be very accurate.
Because it is sour before it rains, it is also a little sour without rain.
Zhou Xi couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard this, he stroked her little head and said cheerfully, "What a silly child, you are going to grow taller, you are different from your mother."
She thought about it, and felt that she had to buy some meat recently. Even if she couldn't afford good meat, it would be better to buy some bones and stew them. Not only Man Bao is growing taller, but her nephews and nieces are also growing taller. , need more nutrients.
Zhou Xi still has a lot of money, after all, her current expenses are the least in the whole family.
While thinking about it, he measured Man Bao with his hand, and quickly measured everything that should be measured. Man Bao sat by the bed and asked her curiously, "Eldest sister, why are you so happy?"
Zhou Xi glanced out subconsciously first, and then whispered to Man Bao: "Today I met the big donkey's wife."
"Yeah." Man Bao nodded, continued to look at her, and then
She can meet the big donkey's wife every day, because she has to go to school, and she has to pass not far from her house along the road.
Zhou Xi knew she didn't understand, so he smiled and said, "The big donkey's wife is from the Liu family village."
