Chapter 292 Drinking

Mr. Zhuang put away the textbook and looked down at the group of students who were eager to move. Even Bai Shanbao and Man Bao, who had always been under his special care, had bright eyes and put their hands on both sides of the closed book. The posture of rushing out from the textbook.

Mr. Zhuang couldn't help smiling when he saw it, and asked slowly, "Have you all started to harvest wheat?"

The children nodded and looked at Mr. Zhuang in confusion.

Mr. Zhuang said: "The wheat has opened, and the summer harvest has begun."

The students were ignorant, but Bai Shanbao's eyes became brighter, obviously thinking of something.

Mr. Zhuang nodded slightly to him and said with a smile, "Let's take a three-day vacation this summer."

After all the students were stunned and confirmed that Mr. was not joking, everyone exclaimed in excitement, and Man Bao also clapped his palms excitedly.

Mr. Zhuang waited for them to shout, then pressed his hands down, and when they were quiet, he said, "You must also help the family to work for the next three days, don't always think about playing. Crops and mulberries are the foundation of the people. Whether you want to be a slaughter for an official, or a farmer or a businessman, you can use them all. What’s more, the elders in the family are all working, how can you sit back and enjoy the success?”

All the students stood up one after another, bent down and answered "yes" in unison, and Man Bao's little head almost touched the table.

Mr. Zhuang stroked his beard with satisfaction, and said, "Okay, that's it for today, everyone, let's go to school."

"Congratulations sir!"

Mr. Zhuang looked down at Yan Manbao and Bai Shanbao, and said, "Come see me in the small courtyard later."

When Mr. Zhuang walked out of the classroom door, cheers and noise broke out in the quiet classroom, and everyone immediately packed up and went home.

He moved quickly, already quickly stuffing the book into the bookcase, carrying it and rushing out.

Mr. Zhuang, who had just walked a few steps away, heard the noise behind him, shook his head with laughter, and walked back to the small courtyard.

Man Bao and Bai Shanbao looked at each other, then lowered their heads to pack the books, not at all excited.

The gentleman will definitely give them additional homework.

Bai Shanbao invited Man Bao in advance, "Are you going to my home to do your homework?"

Man Bao thought for a while. Everyone in the family went to harvest wheat. Obviously, no one took her up the mountain to find Fuling, so he nodded, "Okay."

Mr. Zhuang did have homework for them, and there were quite a few. Man Bao wrinkled his face while remembering, and asked, "Sir, if we don't know how, can we come and ask you?"

Mr. Zhuang thought for a while and said, "You guys do it first. If you don't know how to do it, you can ask Master Bai for some advice. I'll go into the city for a while."

It is precisely because he is going to the city that he will have a holiday this time for the summer harvest. You must know that he would only have a holiday in the autumn harvest before.

Man Bao took a note and asked curiously, "What are you doing in the city for?"

Mr. Zhuang smiled slightly and said: "The government's decree has come down, and all the areas in Mianzhou have been exempted from the autumn tax this year, so I will go home to see your brothers and the others."

Man Bao's eyes lit up, "Are all autumn taxes exempted?"

Mr. Zhuang nodded with a smile, "It won't be long before the governor will come to inform the village that the autumn tax is exempted, and most people should be able to make it this year, everyone just needs to prepare a little."

Man Bao nodded fiercely.

This is really good news. Man Bao didn't ask Mr. Zhuang where the information came from. Mr. Zhuang would never lie to them.

Man Bao happily ran home with the bookcase on his back, first told his family about it, and then went to Bai Shanbao with his homework.

It's a pity that only Mrs He, who cooks dinner at home, takes Sanya and Sitou, and everyone else is working in the fields, so Manbao's good news can only be told to her.

But even so, Mr. He was too happy, and immediately asked Sanya to ask Mrs. Qian in the vegetable garden if he would cook some eggs to celebrate at night.

When the old Zhoutou came back to dinner with a bunch of small ones, he heard the good news, he immediately laughed twice, and then asked Zhou Dalang to take out the jar of wine that was hidden in the wedding wine of Thursday in May. Decided to have a drink in the evening.

When Zhou Dalang ran to the utility room and pulled out a jar of wine from nowhere, the women in the family knew that their father and son were secretly hiding wine.

Old Zhou Tou smiled, and when he turned back to meet Qian's staring at him, his body froze, and he felt guilty.

A rare good thing, Qian Shi just snorted and didn't immediately ask him to settle the account.

Old Zhou Tou touched the back of his neck and sighed, but what about him, let's talk about it after tonight.

Man Bao has been interested in wine for a long time, because not only her father likes it, but also her brothers, up to the eldest brother, down to the fifth brother, and she is very interested in everything delicious and delicious.

Sitting in her seat, Man Bao began to stare at her brothers drinking. When she finished eating, several sisters-in-law also finished. She immediately took a bowl and sat between Thursday and Friday, pretending to have more Eat the food, then stare at the wine in their bowls.

Of course, they can't afford to drink good wine. This is from the people who sell loose wine in the county town. It is said that it is made of rice, which is very valuable.

After a wedding banquet, in addition to meat being the most expensive, wine is the second most expensive.

This is still the case where they only provide half of the altar. If the supply is released, I don't know how much it will cost.

Manbao thinks that white rice is delicious, and porridge is also delicious, so the wine made from rice is used...

Man Bao looked around, looking around, while Wu Wulang turned her head to talk to Datou and the others, she secretly reached out and dragged the bowl in front of him, smelled it, and thought it was very fragrant, so she lowered her head and took a sip...

The bitter, astringent, and somewhat spicy feeling instantly exploded in the taste buds, Man Bao spit it out, and then coughed violently.

Old Zhoutou just saw her stealing a drink, his mouth opened and his eyes widened.

Wu Wulang immediately grabbed his wine bowl and stared at her, "How old are you when you drink?"

Man Bao stuck out his tongue like a bark, and tearfully turned his head to look for his sister-in-law.

Xiao Qian was angry and funny. While pouring water to give her a mouthful, he patted her little ass, "Your sixth brother can't drink when he's so old, why are you so brave?"

However, the old Zhoutou had already closed his mouth and his eyes had shrunk back. He waved to the little girl, summoned people to him and smiled and said, "If you want to drink, just tell Dad, come, drink Dad."

When the father-in-law opened his mouth, it was difficult for Mr. Qian to interrupt, but Mrs. Qian glared at him and said, "You are drunk after only half a bowl of yellow soup?"

Lao Zhoutou immediately shrank his neck, smiled at Man Bao, patted her head and smiled: "Okay, let's go and play, when you grow up a little, at least when you are the same age as your sixth brother. Drink again."

Man Bao said, "I won't drink it in the future, it's really hard to drink."

The old Zhoutou burst into laughter, and the brothers of the Zhou family couldn't help but take a sip. Together, they took a sip from the bowl, and said with joy, "How bad is it to drink, it's so delicious."
