"Look and see, who is afraid of whom." Although Bai Shanbao also had a pale face, in order not to lose the wind in front of Man Bao, he opened the box with trembling hands, turned his head away after a glance, and said firmly: "I'm not afraid It, it's too ugly, I don't like to look at it."
Man Bao felt that what he said was too right, nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, yes, I also think it is too ugly, it hurts the eyes to see too much."
The two children looked at each other, and both agreed with each other's words, then turned their heads to look at the worms in the box, then turned their heads away, looked again, and turned away again...
Master Bai watched this scene from the window, and then took another look at his son who lowered his head and pretended to be honest. He moved his foot, but seeing Mr. Zhuang in front, he held back his movement and didn't kick it out.
Although Mr. Zhuang also hit the students with hands, he did not agree with parents beating their children, especially Master Bai's way of playing. Seeing that his eyes on Bai Erlang became more and more unkind, Mr. Zhuang signaled the parents to leave. Classes have started.
Master Bai gave his younger son a dark look, warned him in a low voice, and then invited Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zheng to leave together.
Although Qili Village is in a mountain depression, it is difficult to get in and out, but the scenery is excellent.
Master Bai is also a scholar. When the school was first built, he chose this place with excellent scenery. It is very beautiful.
Although the autumn scenery is bleak, there are still dense forests here, and there are many wild flowers blooming on the roadside, which are very beautifully decorated.
Mrs. Liu walked slowly along the river bank to the Bai family's mansion, with a very happy expression, she turned her head and said to Master Bai: "This place is really outstanding."
Master Bai knew that Auntie was referring to Man Bao, stroked his beard and smiled, "Auntie, don't think this is a poor mountain valley, in fact, there are many good things and good people, just look at it from now on."
Mrs. Liu nodded, "That child knows how to overcome difficulties at a very young age. She is obviously afraid, but she still knows how to overcome it. I only hope that Shanbao can learn from her in the future."
Liu felt a little regretful, "It's a pity, she is a girl, by the way, there are many brothers and nephews in her family, why is there no one Mr. Zhuang is interested in?"
Although Master Bai seldom went to the village, he still knew about the affairs of the village. He said with a smile, "The Zhou family's beauty may have grown from this child."
Mrs. Liu recalled the Zhou family she met yesterday, nodded, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Zhou I met yesterday seems to be a virtuous person."
Master Bai recalled the Zhou family that the steward had mentioned to him, and said uncertainly: "Maybe, but the eldest and third in his family are very hardworking, while the second is quite clever, and often goes to the market to make Small business."
The two talked and went home.
On the other side of the school, Man Bao and Shan Bao had already put away the worms, and began to take out their books to read with the teacher.
Bai Shanbao originally wanted to overwhelm the other party in reading, so he recited loudly at the beginning. Although there was still a little milky voice, he was the loudest in the class.
Man Bao likes to join in the fun the most. Seeing the tablemate reading loudly, she also raised her voice to follow along. The way the two kids shake their heads is very cute.
At least Mr. Zhuang who was standing on the stage was very satisfied, with smiles in his eyes, stroking his beard back and forth, and shaking his head happily to read.
The other students in the class were led by the two to read with their voices open, much more serious than before. Even the college students who had finished studying the Analects couldn't help but turn around and read "The Analects" with the two of them.
Standing outside the classroom, Bai Erlang couldn't help turning his head to look at the two children in the room, and snorted like his nose was breathing fire.
The two classmates who were punished to stand like him also took a curious look inside, and leaned over to the boss and said, "Brother Erlang, how come your cousin can read "The Analects of Confucius", hasn't he just started school?"
Bai Erlang murmured: "That's why I hate him the most. He was enlightened when he was only two years old. My grandmother said that he can not only recite three hundred poems, but also recite "Thousand Characters" and "Analects of Confucius". Just after I came here, my grandmother gave him my favorite braised pork, in short, he hates him as much as Man Bao. Hmph, is it great to be able to read?"
"That's right, that's right, we fight better than him, otherwise we'll stop him on the road after class in the afternoon, and beat him up to vent your anger."
Bai Erlang hesitated, "If my father finds out, he will definitely beat me up."
"We did it secretly. I heard from my elder brother that if you don't want the person being beaten to know who beat you, you can just put a sack on it."
Bai Erlang rolled his eyes and whispered, "Where are we going to find sacks?"
"I have it at home, but I can't run home to get it. Your home is closer than mine."
"Then tomorrow," another person said: "Tomorrow we will bring a sack, and it's best to pack it with Man Bao."
"That's not good," Bai Erlang said with a frown, "She's a girl, so just scare her with bugs. How can a man hit a girl?"
The other also felt that beating a girl was too embarrassing, so he didn't agree with the proposal, so the proposal was shelved.
Bai Shanbao and Man Bao were louder than each other. In short, you overwhelmed me with the first sentence, and I will overwhelm you with the second sentence.
Mr. Zhuang watched for a while with a smile on his face before he knocked on the table of the two of them, and said: "Keep your voice down, and you must be skilled in reading, or you will be speechless tomorrow."
Mr. Zhuang signaled everyone to stop, and asked the primary school students to take out the books and start teaching a new text, let them know how to read this one, let them read it well first, and explain its meaning later in class.
After explaining to the elementary school students, Mr. Zhuang went to see the college students again.
In fact, there are only five older people in this group.
Bai Shanbao glanced at Man Bao, and read silently by himself.
Man Bao also read it seriously. She has always had a good memory, and she basically memorized it after reading it two or three times, but she didn't know what it meant, so she looked around.
In the past, she would have asked Keke directly, but now there was a person sitting beside her, and she felt that instead of talking to Keke in her heart, she might as well talk to others with her mouth.
The words spoken through the mouth are very pleasant to hear.
So she began to push the textbook she copied by hand towards Shanbao, and asked, "Do you know what this sentence means?"
Bai Shanbao glanced at it, and it happened that he had learned from his grandmother before, so he said proudly: "Of course I know, don't you know?"
"I don't know, sir, I haven't had time to talk about it yet," Man Bao said as a matter of course, "But I want to know now, can you tell me?"
Bai Shanbao turned his head to look at her, feeling comfortable under her gaze, so he reluctantly told her, "Actually, it was two disciples of Confucius who were talking. Did he ask someone to tell him about the political affairs of that country, or did someone take the initiative to tell him... "
This is an article in Xueerzhong, Bai Shanbao has memorized it fluently, which means that his grandmother also told him, and he memorized it.
Man Bao listened with gusto, and said: "I have never heard this story before, it's really nice, if I can travel to various countries like Confucius in the future, and someone will take the initiative to tell me the story, it will be great."
