Chapter 367

Mr. Zhuang's heart moved, and he said with a smile: "It's no problem, anyway, whether it is accepted into the gate wall, I teach them the same way. But if the gate wall is to be ranked, I have already accepted Man Bao as a disciple, and later I promised the treasure first, so Erlang..."

Master Bai turned around and shouted to the ignorant Bai Erlang: "Why are you still standing there, why don't you call Master, Brother and Sister?"

Shan Bao had a fight with Man Bao in order to become a senior brother, and Master Bai had heard about it two days ago.

Shirojiro:  …

Man Bao and Bai Shanbao were satisfied, they raised their heads and waited for Bai Erlang to call them.

Bai Erlang looked at the two people who were obviously shorter than him with a dumbfounded expression, and pursed his mouth aggrieved, but before he could object, Master Bai 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 it was really embarrassing for the child, so he gently touched his head, led everyone into the main room, and said with a smile, "In that case, let's do the apprenticeship ceremony together."

Man Bao immediately stood behind Mr. Zhuang alertly and looked at the two junior brothers with contentment.

Mrs. Zhuang hurriedly brought the brewed tea, Bai Shanbao took the cup first, and Bai Erlang took the remaining cup.

The two knelt down together to offer tea to Mr. Zhuang and saluted.

Mr. Zhuang smiled, took a sip of their tea, encouraged them, and then gave them a set of four treasures of the study.

Originally, he only prepared one set, but luckily they had a lot of scholars, so they could find a set temporarily.

Man Bao looked at the two of them cheerfully, with a kind of buy-one-get-one-free joy.

Bai Shanbao was also very happy, looking at Bai Erlang with joy in his eyes.

Bai Erlang looked at Bai Shanbao and Manbao again, feeling extremely depressed. Sure enough, he still hates Man Bao and Bai Shanbao. Why 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 daughter-in-law did not expect that after their father went to the countryside to teach, his career would go further, so they were also very happy.

Originally, Zhuang Dalang did not agree with Mr. Zhuang going to the countryside to teach. After all, his father was too old and too far away. If he was ill, he would not be able to take care of him.

But seeing that the Bai family valued his father so much, Zhuang Dalang didn't say anything, but he felt relieved.

It is so important that if something happens to him, the Bai family should be able to take care of him.

Zhuang Dalang is very kind to Bai Shan and Bai Erlang. As for Man Bao standing behind Mr. Zhuang, he just glanced at him.

He had never seen Man Bao, but he had already heard of it.

His father had told him that he had accepted an entry-level disciple, a five-year-old girl.

This is my father's first entry-level disciple. To be honest, Zhuang Dalang doesn't quite understand it. Even if he wants to accept a disciple, why should he accept a girl?

However, the decision made by the father is obviously not something they can change, mainly because Zhuang Dalang does not want to interfere too much.

So this time, he just nodded to Man Bao.

But Man Bao prepared gifts for them all, Zhuang Dalang and his wife, and their three children.

Of course, there is more Bai Shanbao.

After recognizing their master, Bai Shanbao and Bai Erlang had to meet Zhuang Dalang and then Manbao.

Man Bao found out the gift for Bai Shanbao from Daji's arms early, and stood behind Mr. Zhuang with bright eyes and looked at him.

Standing in front of Man Bao, Bai Shanbao looked at Man Bao who was half a head shorter than him, and reluctantly called out, "Senior sister."

Man Bao smiled instantly, holding the box hard with one hand, and with one hand, imitating the way her husband touched her, stood on tiptoe to touch Bai Shanbao's head, and said happily, "Junior brother, come here, this is a gift from senior sister."

Bai Shanbao tilted his head slightly unhappily, reached out to take the box, and then opened it.

Man Bao pressed it down and said, "I can't drive it now, I have to wait until I get home."

Bai Shanbao hugged and said, "Okay."

Then he stepped forward and stood beside Man Bao, and the two of them looked at Bai Erlang together.

Bai Erlang stood across from them, staring at the two of them.

Four to two, Bai Erlang was completely defeated, so he could only stand in front of Man Bao, and after a long 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 and looked at him alertly.

Man Bao felt a little regretful, and could only say: "Dear me, Senior Sister didn't know that you were going to apprentice today, so I didn't prepare a present for you. I'll make it up for you when I get back."

Bai Erlang nodded irrevocably. He felt that he did not have a common language with Bai Shanbao and Manbao. If they gave him pen, ink, paper and inkstone, would he want it or not?

So it doesn't matter if he sends it or not.

Seeing that he was about to stand beside them, Bai Shanbao stepped forward to block him and said, "You haven't called me yet."

Bai Erlang gritted his teeth at him, and called out unwillingly, "Senior brother..."

Feeling aggrieved after calling, he turned his head and said to Mr. Zhuang, "Sir, I am the oldest, so I should be a senior brother?"

In front of everyone, Mr. Zhuang certainly couldn't let his disciples quarrel, and the two most troublesome ones had just been determined, so of course they couldn't be more confusing, so he said, "We queue up according to the order of entry."

Bai Erlang reached out to Bai Shanbao: "Then you have to give me a gift too."

Seeing him being so rude, Master Bai couldn't help staring.

Bai Shanbao didn't mind, and happily agreed, "Okay, I'll give it to you when I get back."

Bai Erlang asked, "I want your slingshot!"

"No!" Bai Shanbao and Man Bao rejected him together.

Bai Shanbao said, "That's mine!"

Man Bao said: "That's what I gave 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 help it. He slapped him on the back and said angrily, "What kind of slingshot are you playing? It's a good study for you to come to apprentice, but you just want to play!"

Then he looked at Man Bao and Bai Shanbao, and said, "None of you are allowed to give him something to play with, understand?"

Bai Shanbao and Man Bao nodded together, but they didn't want to give it away.

Food and school supplies are so good, why send toys?

Bai Erlang was so sad and angry, but he didn't dare to resist his father.

After the apprenticeship was over, Daji and the others moved in the rest of the gifts.

Among them, Man Bao's is particularly easy to identify, because all her things are packed in bamboo boxes.

Such a simple package made Zhuang Dalang and his wife look better, but seeing that Manbao was just a child, the two of them didn't say anything.

Man Bao's gifts were five bamboo boxes, one for each of the Zhuang family except Mr. Zhuang. The rest is the New Year's gift prepared by the old Zhou family for Mr. Zhuang, as in previous years, bacon, rice noodles and a jar of pickles.

The three children of the banker have all gone to school and are not at home.

But Man Bao still handed over the prepared gift to Zhuang Dalang. She thought that as a teacher and aunt, since it was the first time to see the junior, how could she not bring a gift?
