Chapter 14 Apprenticeship (1)

Old Zhou Tou glanced at his daughter and asked, "What are you doing in the county seat?"

Man Bao couldn't say that she was going to sell candy, because the family actually kept guessing that her candy was given by Mr. Zhuang or a student in the school. She was afraid that they would mention this when they went to apprenticeship tomorrow.

So I can only find another excuse, "I'm going to gain knowledge."

Tuesday Lang said: "You are a little baby, what knowledge do you want to learn, wait until you grow up a bit."

But when she grows up, the family will not be short of money, and today, Man Bao's harvest is still quite large, she feels that she needs to verify her summary.

So she insisted, "No, I'll go the day after tomorrow, and the fifth and sixth brothers will also go, and let them take me, no need for the eldest brother and the second brother to worry about it."

The old man stared solemnly.

Will Man Bao be afraid of him?

Of course not, she slid directly from Zhou Dalang's legs to the ground, jumped up and hugged Lao Zhoutou's arm, wrapping around him like twisting a twist, "Father, father, just promise me."

Seeing that he was indifferent, Man Bao squeezed his small fist and gave him a slap on the shoulder, "Dad, I'll buy you some candy, you promise me."

Will Lao Zhoutou be bought by Tang?

He is not a child.

But, "Where did you get the money?"

"I'll earn it, Dad, if you let me go to the county seat, I'll be able to earn money." Man Bao had already beaten his left shoulder to his right for his promise.

Zhou Dalang couldn't help laughing when he saw it, and interceded for her, "Dad, otherwise let her go, just the day after tomorrow, in addition to bringing food, you have to bring eggs. The second child came back with a lot of eggs, and this thing can't be put on the board. In the car, you have to carry it on your back."

Langyi thought on Tuesday, too, "Young sister doesn't seem to have been to the county seat yet. Since the fifth and sixth are also going, I want to bring some dustpans and baskets. The price in the county seat is a little higher than that in the market. Can earn a fortune."

The old Zhoutou did not speak.

Man Bao beat him harder and harder, "Father, you promise, promise."

From the left ear to the right ear, Lao Zhoutou was so irritated by her that he waved his hand: "Okay, okay, let's go, it's just that your elder brother and the others have to go out before dawn, can you get up?"

"Get up, I got up early!"

If you believe in her, there is a ghost. Old Zhou Tou said: "If you can't get up, we won't call you. You can't cry if you can't go."

Man Bao was full of confidence, "I will definitely get up."

Immediately, I told the system in my heart, "Keke, you must wake me up the day after tomorrow, you know?"

Keke didn't expect that he would also have the function of a part-time alarm clock, but he also wanted the host to go out and see the world, so he nodded.

The Qian family has already sent the task of tailoring clothes and making shoes. The clothes made by farmers are not so delicate. They can be sewn after they are cut, as long as the stitches are fine and fine.

The third sister-in-law, Mrs. He, is the best at home for tailoring. She took the task and cut it with cloth. It happened that Mr. Zhuang was about the same size as Zhou Zhou Lang, so it would be good to cut it directly according to Zhou Zhou Lang's size.

In order to make it in time for the next day, Mr. He didn't have to do anything in the afternoon, just tailoring and sewing. Mrs. Qian was a rare and generous one, and even lit an oil lamp for them to use after dark.

But it's not too bad, and the clothes are ready in no time.

Qian was in charge of making shoes, and the soles were ready-made. They also used the soles for Zhou Yilang. Because he often walks, Feng gave him thick soles, which were very comfortable to walk on.

The uppers are made of specially-purchased cotton, which is much better than the home-made home-made cloth.

The next day, Lao Zhoutou and his two sons dug out their best clothes, and after washing their faces, they asked Xiao Qian to dig their daughter out of the bed, ready to go to apprenticeship.

Man Bao peeled the candy for a long time last night, turned over, pouted his butt and didn't want to get up.

Seeing that she was always digging into the quilt, Mrs. Qian took her coat, lifted the quilt and patted her little butt, and said, "Little aunt, if you don't get up, it will be too late. You are going to apprentice today, so be good. a little."

Holding her and helping her put on her clothes, she carried her with her eyes closed to a chair, twisted a towel and wiped her face.

The water was warm, but Man Bao was still jolted and barely woke up.

Today is Feng's turn to cook. She brought a bowl of egg water from the kitchen and put it on the table: "Little aunt, remember to drink the egg water before you go."

As soon as the sun came up, Lao Zhoutou took his two sons and led Man Bao to the school.

Mr. Zhuang knew that Man Bao would come to apprentice today, so he got up early in the morning and was boxing in the yard at this time.

When Old Zhoutou saw Mr. Zhuang, his back subconsciously bent, and he was always in awe of scholars.

Mr. Zhuang smiled slightly, "Zhou Lao Zhang is here? Please come to the house."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Zhuang, please." Old Zhou bowed his head and asked Mr. Zhuang to enter first.

However, Man Bao knew Mr. Zhuang very well. The one who was very familiar with him first helped Mr. Zhuang to sit down in the study, and then went to help her father. She looked left and right, and when she saw the stove was burning in a familiar place, she was very special. Be diligent and bring water to them.

Zhou Dalang and Tuesday Lang hurried to take over, and Manbao has never done these things at home. What if they get hot?

Mr. Zhuang looked very satisfied, stroked his beard and the old Zhou's head with a smile: "Zhou Lao Zhang, you have raised a good girl, ten miles and eight villages, I have never seen a more clever child than this."

"That's because the teacher taught him well." Old Zhoutou always knew about Man Bao's behavior of lying on the window and stealing lessons. At first, he was distressed, but after the distress, he could only endure the distress and let his daughter steal as much as possible. study.

Because he knows that the greater the ability, the better one can live.

As long as Mr. Zhuang does not rush to Manbao, he will not restrain the child.

So for Mr. Zhuang, the old Zhoutou has always been in awe and gratitude, and his back is even more curved.

However, Mr. Zhuang said with a smile: "It's the child who is good. She is not only smart, but also filial. She knows how to clean the yard for me, and she also knows how to care for her parents and family. It can be seen that my husband's family style is good. I decided to accept this child as a disciple, but also You can only take it with you to teach, and you have to ask Master Bai about entering the school."

After all, this school was opened by Master Bai, and he was also invited by Master Bai.

The old Zhoutou was refreshed and immediately said: "Actually, it is enough to study with Mr., it doesn't matter if you enter the school or not."

Old Zhou Tou blushed for fear that Man Bao would go into the school to be rehabilitated, and said, "Sir also knows that my family is poor..."

Old Zhou hesitated before he finished speaking, but Mr. Zhuang understood, and he laughed loudly: "Don't worry, old man, since I want to accept Manbao as a disciple, I will treat her like my own child, so naturally I won't accept anything. build."

He paused and said: "I also know that your family has difficulties, and Man Bao is still young now, so she doesn't need to buy anything for her. In the future, she can read and read, and she can copy her textbooks here."

In fact, before the Zhou family came to the door, he was not quite sure whether the Zhou family would like Manbao to be his teacher. Now that the Zhou family came, Mr. Zhuang couldn't help but sigh that the Zhou family really doted on Manbao.

Because I don't often turn on the background of my mobile phone, someone said yesterday that they wanted to ask me a question, so I clicked it and found that several questions in the question were out of date, and I didn't see it, so I was thinking, do you want to? Can't see someone's problem either, let it expire
