Chapter 399 Abacus

Mr. Zhuang even refused the Dragon Boat Festival holiday that Liu asked for Bai Shanbao in advance.

A few years ago, Mrs. Liu planned to take Bai Shanbao to Yizhou on the Dragon Boat Festival, because one of his aunts who married to Yizhou would have a birthday.

But Mr. Zhuang refused, refused!

Bai Shanbao was still sad about this for two days, and what made him even more sad was that his grandmother didn't ask for leave anymore, but decided that she would go to celebrate her birthday alone.

This shows how rare Mr. Zhuang's vacation is at this time.

Seeing that the two children rushed in again with a small bookcase on their backs, Mr. Zhuang smiled slightly and said, "Just tomorrow, one day."

The two children cheered and were about to run out holding hands. Mr. Zhuang suddenly said, "If you go to Bai Er, let him know by the way. If he gets sick again, I will go to his house to teach and let him sit on the reclining chair. Take a class."

Man Bao and Bai Shanbao looked at each other, and both raised their necks in joy, but they didn't dare to laugh out loud.

Bai Erlang was hiding in the house eating melons, which were sent by his uncle's house, and his mother just brought it to him.

Hearing the footsteps outside, he was so frightened that he immediately tucked the plate into the quilt, then lay down and pretended to have a headache, hand pain, stomach pain, all kinds of pain.

Man Bao and Bai Shanbao ran in, and seeing him yelling like a little old man, they said, "Stop pretending, sir and your father didn't come."

Bai Er ignored them and continued to yell.

Bai Shanbao said slowly: "Sir said, give us a day off tomorrow, let us go to the county to buy things."

Bai Erlang's voice stopped, he opened one eye to look at them, rolled his eyes, and found that there were only three of them in the room before he got up from the bed and asked, "Really? Sir, let us go. buy what?"

"Buy the abacus, sir is going to teach us the abacus."

"Ah?" Bai Erlang wailed and cried, "Don't you have to learn it after you are ten years old? Why do we have to learn it now?"

Bai Shanbao was about to speak when Manbao pulled him, and the words on his lips changed immediately, "Would you like to come to the county town with us?"

Man Bao said: "An abacus will take many years, so it's best to choose it yourself and choose the one you like."

Bai Erlang said without love: "But I don't want to learn abacus, I'm still sick."

Bai Shanbao: "Sir said, if you are still sick, he will move the class to your house and let you lie down and listen to the class."

Man Bao was overjoyed and asked with a smile, "You said, sir, will your father come to listen to the class as well?"

Bai Erlang's tears are really coming down now, "I knew why they didn't go to school? If it was a school child, why would my husband stare at me alone?"

"It's obviously staring at the three of us." Bai Shanbao said dissatisfiedly: "Mr. has been staring at us for a long time, and we didn't pretend to be sick."

"That's because you can answer the questions that Mr. asked you, can I?" Bai Er said angrily, "If I could, I wouldn't pretend to be sick."

"Who told you not to study seriously, you actually followed people to play in the mud!"

"It's not playing mud, it's fighting, I'm still a general," Bai Erlang said unconvinced: "If you guys were not playing the game of Zhuangzi growing grain, would I have no time to play? I don't have time to play, I will use Do I have to play during the reading and homework time? I don't have to play with this time, will I not be able to write homework and answer Mr.'s homework?"

It was the first time that Man Bao and Bai Shanbao heard people talk about laziness and playfulness so confidently, and they were stunned for a while.

Bai Erlang lifted the quilt, took out the fruit plate, and ate it fiercely, while saying, "I have to learn abacus again, and I won't be able to play again in the future."

Man Bao and Bai Shanbao looked disgusted, "Why did you hide the fruit bowl inside..."

Bai Erlang looked at the melon in the fruit bowl, then looked at the two friends who were barely friends, and pushed forward reluctantly, "Would you please eat?"

The two shook their heads.

Bai Erlang took it back, "Don't eat it, it's a melon. It usually comes in June or July. Now I can eat it because my uncle is amazing."

Man Bao agreed with them, "Then we will meet at the entrance of the village early tomorrow morning and go to the county town together."

Bai Erlang and Bai Shanbao both said there was no problem, Bai Shanbao said, "Take my carriage."

Knowing that Man Bao was going to learn abacus, Lao Zhoutou couldn't help sitting up straight and asked, "After learning abacus, will you be able to be the accountant in the future?"

Qian said, "What nonsense are you talking about, did you see that the accountant outside is a woman?"

"But Manbao can teach them," said the old Zhoutou, "and who said that the accountant has no women? I see that in many shops in the city, the proprietresses are the masters of accounting. In the future, we will marry Manbao to the county seat. Go here and be the lady boss, so that you can live up to the skills you have learned so much."

"Sir said that our farm has a lot to do in the future, so we need to learn abacus and do it by ourselves when we need arithmetic in the future."

The old Zhoutou immediately said to the Qian family: "Take the money and buy an abacus for your daughter."

Man Bao's eyes narrowed with joy, and said, "Dad, I have money."

Old Zhoutou knew that since the beginning of the spring, she has not made much money. According to the meaning of several children, it seems that it is because the lady from the former county magistrate's house who often buys candy with them has left.

So there shouldn't be a lot of money on Man Bao.

Old Zhou Tou touched her head with a smile and said, "Save your money, go to the county town to buy steamed buns tomorrow, and the abacus will give you the money."

Of course, Man Bao would not refuse any more, nodding fiercely.

The old Zhoutou urged: "You have to study hard, come back to teach your nephews after you have learned it, and when they grow up, they will be the accountants."

Tuesday Lang squeezed in and said, "Man Bao, is second brother also learning from you?"

Friday Lang immediately raised his hand, "And me, and me."

Man Bao waved his little hand and said happily, "No problem, I'll teach you all when the time comes."

Fang Shi glanced at her husband and couldn't help but reached out and stabbed him, Chuu Lang hugged his son and moved away, avoiding her hand, and whispered: "I don't learn, isn't it just to settle accounts, I'm on my own. It will be a headache to learn those things."

"You're so lazy."

"It's not lazy, it's unnecessary."

Bai Erlang also complained to his mother in a low voice, wanting to fight for the last time not to learn abacus, and said: "Mom, I'm not lazy, but I don't think it's necessary. We have an accountant in our family, why should I learn abacus?"

"Your father can also use abacus. If you don't learn it, what if the accountant fools you?"

Bai Erlang said: "The accountant is just fooling my father, and my father doesn't know it. Could it be that my father can settle accounts better than the accountant?"

Mrs. White: ...
