Mr. Zhuang's heart moved, and he said with a smile: "That's not a problem. Anyway, if you don't accept the entry wall, I teach them like that. But if you have to rank in the entry wall, I have accepted Man Bao as a disciple first, and then First promised Shanbao, so Erlang..."
Master Bai turned around and shouted at the bewildered Bai Erlang: "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you call Master, Senior Brother and Senior Sister?"
Shanbao had a fight with Manbao in order to become a senior brother, and Master Bai heard about the loss two days ago.
Shirajiro: ...
Satisfied, Man Bao and Bai Shanbao raised their heads and waited for Bai Erlang to call them.
Bai Erlang looked at the two who were obviously shorter than him with a dazed expression, and pursed his mouth in aggrieved manner, but before he could object, Master Bai had already slapped him on the back of the head.
Under the gaze of his father, Bai Erlang reluctantly called Man Bao "Senior Sister" and Bai Shanbao "Senior Brother", and then looked at Mr. Zhuang with tears in his eyes.
Mr. Zhuang felt that this child was really embarrassing, so he gently patted his head, led everyone into the main room, and said with a smile: "In that case, let's do the apprentice ceremony together."
Man Bao immediately stood behind Mr. Zhuang vigilantly, and looked at the two juniors proudly.
Mrs. Zhuang quickly served the brewed tea, Bai Shanbao took one cup first, and then Bai Erlang took the rest.
The two knelt down to offer tea to Mr. Zhuang and saluted.
Mr. Zhuang smiled, took a sip of their tea, and after encouraging them, he gave each of them a set of the Four Treasures of the Study.
Originally, he only prepared one set, but fortunately, the banker has a lot of scholars, so he can find a set temporarily.
Man Bao looked at the two happily, feeling like buying one and getting one free.
Bai Shanbao was also very happy, looking at Bai Erlang with joy.
Bai Erlang looked at Bai Shanbao and then at Man Bao, feeling extremely depressed. Sure enough, he still hated Man Bao and Bai Shanbao very much. Why on earth did he come to watch the fun today
Master Bai was very happy, and so were Liu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Zhuang Dalang and his wife did not expect their father to go further in his career after he went to teach in the countryside, so they were also very happy.
Originally, Zhuang Dalang didn't agree with Mr. Zhuang's teaching in the countryside. After all, his father was old and far away. If he was sick, he couldn't take care of him at all.
But seeing that the Bai family valued his father so much, Zhuang Dalang didn't say anything, but felt relieved.
With so much importance, if something happens to you, the Bai family will take care of you.
Zhuang Dalang was very friendly to Bai Shan and Bai Erlang. As for Man Bao standing behind Mr. Zhuang, he just glanced at him.
Although he had never seen Man Bao, he had already heard of it.
His father had told him that he had taken in a disciple, a five-year-old girl.
This was his father's first disciple. To be honest, Zhuang Dalang didn't quite understand. Even if he wanted to take a disciple, why did he take a girl
But the decision made by their father is obviously not something they can change, mainly because Zhuang Dalang doesn't want to interfere too much.
So this meeting, he just nodded to Man Bao.
But Man Bao prepared gifts for them all, from Zhuang Dalang and his wife, and their three children.
Of course, there is even Bai Shanbao.
After recognizing the master, Bai Shanbao and Bai Erlang will meet Zhuang Dalang, and then Man Bao.
Man Bao found the gift for Bai Shanbao from Daji's arms early on, and stood behind Mr. Zhuang looking at him with piercing eyes.
Bai Shanbao stood in front of Man Bao, looked at Man Bao who was half a head shorter than himself, and reluctantly called out, "Senior Sister."
Man Bao burst into a smile instantly, holding the box with one hand hard, and with one hand, he tiptoed to touch Bai Shanbao's head like his husband touched her with one hand, and said cheerfully: "Master, be good, come, this is a gift from senior sister."
Bai Shanbao tilted his head slightly unhappy, reached out to take the box, and was about to open it.
Man Bao pressed it down and said, "I can't open it now, I have to wait until I get home to open it."
Bai Shanbao hugged him and said, "Okay."
Then he took a step forward and stood beside Man Bao, and the two looked at Bai Erlang together.
Bai Erlang stood opposite them, staring at the two of them.
Four against two, Bai Erlang was completely defeated, so he could only stand in front of Man Bao, and after a long time of deliberation, he called out "Senior Sister".
Man Bao smiled again, and also reached out to touch Bai Erlang's head, and then Bai Erlang jumped back, looking at him warily.
Man Bao felt a little regretful, and could only say: "Good boy, senior sister didn't know that you would also be an apprentice today, so I didn't prepare a gift for you, and I will make it up for you when I go back."
Bai Erlang nodded dispensably, he felt that he had no common language with Bai Shanbao and Man Bao, if they gave him pens, inks, papers and inkstones, would he want it or not
So it doesn't matter to him whether he sends it or not.
Seeing that he was about to stand beside them, Bai Shanbao took a step forward to block him, saying: "You haven't called me yet."
Bai Erlang gritted his teeth at him, and called out reluctantly, "Senior Brother..."
After yelling, he felt aggrieved, so he turned his head and said to Mr. Zhuang, "Sir, I am the oldest, should I be the senior brother?"
In front of everyone, Mr. Zhuang certainly can't let his disciples fight among themselves, and the two who are the most troublesome have just determined their size, so of course they can't be confused anymore, so he said: "The queue is based on the order of entry."
Bai Erlang stretched out his hand to Bai Shanbao: "Then you also want to give me a gift."
Seeing that he was so impolite, Master Bai couldn't help but stare.
Bai Shanbao didn't mind, and happily agreed: "Okay, I'll give it to you when I get back."
Bai Erlang made a request, "I want your slingshot!"
"No!" Bai Shanbao and Man Bao rejected him together.
Bai Shanbao said: "That's mine!"
Man Bao said: "I gave it to him!"
Bai Erlang asked Man Bao, "Then you have to give me the same slingshot as him."
Before Man Bao could speak, Master Bai couldn't bear it any longer. He slapped him on the back and said angrily, "What kind of slingshot are you playing? I asked you to come to apprentice to study hard, but in the end you only wanted to play!"
Then he looked at Man Bao and Bai Shan Bao, and said, "None of you are allowed to give him playthings, do you understand?"
Bai Shanbao and Man Bao nodded together, they didn't want to give it away either.
Food and school utensils are great, why send toys
Bai Erlang was overwhelmed with grief and indignation, but he didn't dare to resist his father.
After apprenticeship, Daji and others moved in all the remaining gifts.
Among them, Manbao's is particularly easy to identify, because her things are packed in bamboo boxes.
Such crude packaging made Zhuang Dalang and his wife feel better, but seeing that Manbao was just a child, they didn't say anything.
Man Bao's gift is five bamboo boxes, one for each family member except Mr. Zhuang. The rest are the New Year gifts prepared by the old Zhou family for Mr. Zhuang, as in previous years, bacon, rice noodles and a jar of pickles.
The dealer's three children have gone to school and are not at home.
But Man Bao still gave the prepared gift to Zhuang Dalang. She thought, as a senior aunt, since it was the first time to see the junior, how could she not bring a gift
