Chapter 42 Reconciliation

Mr. Zhuang didn't talk to them too much. He had a lot of truths to say, but he also wanted the two children to understand and listen.

Anyway, the two children are still young, he has a lot of time to tell them, Mr. Zhuang is not in a hurry.

Mr. Zhuang turned to the school for Bai Shanbao's homework, because he was a newcomer, he had to find out his progress before arranging his courses.

Bai Shanbao had already memorized the Analects, but the meaning of the second half had not yet been learned.

Mr. Zhuang asked, knowing that he learned from his former husband and Mrs. Liu, he nodded with satisfaction, and asked the two children to go back to the class.

For the first time, Man Bao felt that there was a child who was more powerful than her, so he followed him and said, "You study faster than me, I started reading when I was one year old, and I just learned "Thousand Characters".

Bai Shanbao felt that she was really stupid, and said, "I started reading when I was two years old, and I memorized "Thousand Characters" in only three months."

Of course, Bai Shanbao didn't tell her, he just memorized it and didn't know how to read. He didn't start to read and write in textbooks until he was three years old.

Because of having a smart deskmate, in order not to fall behind, Man Bao listened to the lectures very carefully and used his brains in class, so many problems arose.

For example, Mr. Zhuang explained the meaning of Wenliang, respectful and thrifty, that is: gentleness, integrity, solemnity, frugality and humility.

So Man Bao asked, what kind of behavior can be called gentle, upright, solemn, frugal, and humble?

Because she thought about it and felt that she met all five items, so is she a saint now?

Looking at the outspoken disciple, before Mr. Zhuang could speak, Bai Shanbao, who was beside him, interjected, "If you don't say anything else, your integrity, gentleness, solemnity, and humility do not match."

Bai Shanbao said: "Yesterday you helped your nephew, you are not upright, you fought with me, you are not gentle, not solemn, you still bite me, and you can't match up with humility."

Man Bao stared, "Then I can't ask you to bully my nephew and me. I want to be a saint like Confucius, not a fool."

Seeing that the two children were about to quarrel again, Mr. Zhuang knocked on the table and said, "Are you two still listening to the class?"

Bai Shanbao and Zhou Manbao sat upright, obediently putting their hands on their knees, and listening to Mr. Zhuang's lecture with their heads raised.

Mr. Zhuang just listed some examples of Confucius to prove how he was gentle, courteous, thrifty and yielding.

One morning, they only had one class here. Mr. Zhuang asked them to read and recite by themselves, and then went to teach the college students on the side.

Although I have seen the system many times, I still cannot help but admire the wisdom of the ancients. In terms of educational resources, the ancient times are far behind the future.

But it is such a backward era, Mr.'s knowledge is profound, and the consideration of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude is unmatched in many years to come.

Especially after the popularity of Baguwen, which directly unified the literary system, education began to become cookie-cutter.

Naturally, the system did not say these words to Man Bao, but quietly watched her and Bai Shanbao brag, saying that she had memorized the text just now and memorized the scriptures taught by her husband.

Bai Shanbao hummed: "I have memorized it long ago, and I have remembered it for a long time. I have memorized the entire article."

Feeling Bai Shanbao's pride, Man Bao was full of fighting spirit, "I will surpass you in the future."

She didn't just talk, she did it, Man Bao opened the closed textbook again and started to read the questions that follow.

She already knew a lot of words, so she could read it herself.

Besides, when Mr. Zhuang copied the book for her, he broke off good sentences, and she saved herself from breaking sentences, and just read on with her head shaking.

The first time is very obscure, the second time is no longer stuck, the third time is much smoother, and after reading it again, Manbao can memorize it.

Man Bao was full of confidence and felt that he had memorized it, so he turned to the next one and continued to memorize it. After a while, Man Bao had memorized three or four textbooks.

Bai Shanbao's mouth opened wide in surprise, and he didn't have time to play secretly any more, so he hurriedly opened the book and memorized it.

He can't be compared to her.

As soon as the bell rang at noon, the children ran out hula-la, took their big bowls and ran to the kitchen to line up for food.

Man Bao was young and had short legs, so he ran to the back, while Bai Shanbao was not used to it because it was his first day.

Still, Man Bao, who ran to the door, sensed something was wrong, turned around and found his big bowl, and took him with him.

So the two youngest came last.

But Man Bao didn't worry about it at all. He even proudly said to Bai Shanbao, "My sister-in-law is the one who cooks and cooks. If you follow me, you will definitely be able to eat more."

Originally, Bai Shanbao didn't think there was anything to be proud of, but after hearing Manbao say this and seeing how proud she was, he couldn't help but feel a little envious.

Sure enough, when it was their turn, Xiao Qian smiled at them, and then served them a lot of dishes.

Students can go back to the classroom to eat, but most of them don't like to go back. They prefer to eat standing in the courtyard, sitting and eating, and some even go to the grass across the road to play and eat.

Bai Shanbao also squatted next to Man Bao and ate it. He felt that the food in the school was quite delicious. Anyway, he enjoyed it with relish.

After dinner, the students can play near the school. Of course, they cannot be near the river. At this time of the day, Mr. Zhuang will sit in front of the courtyard and watch. Anyone who approaches the river will not only be beaten, but also Penalty for endorsement and writing.

Therefore, although everyone was very excited when they looked at the river not far away, so far, none of the students have run to the river to play with courage.

Of course Manbao wouldn't go either. She ran back and fetched the box containing the bugs. She wanted to practice gallbladder with Bai Shanbao. She had already decided that when these bugs were useless for her, she would give them to Keke.

Koko:  …

Then Manbao and Shanbao killed the dozen or so bugs.

Man Bao was a little embarrassed, and decided to bring the worms back to the chickens so that they could lay more eggs, and she would catch some for Keke later.

Man Bao thought so and told Keke the same.

What can the system do, it can only promise, it can't press Manbao to catch bugs for it, right?

So, Shan Bao and Man Bao agreed to go catch worms together tomorrow.

The two children agreed that they are no longer afraid of bugs. In this case, of course they have to catch them. The most important thing is that if they are thrown away, how can they not throw them back?

The two of them seemed to have forgotten about the fight yesterday and planned what to do tomorrow, and they both glanced at Bai Erlang who was talking in the classroom.

Bai Shanbao also complained to Man Bao, "He is very bad. As soon as I come, he will snatch my Trojan horse. If I don't give it to him, he will roll on the ground."

Man Bao was curious, "Afterwards, did your mother give it to him?"

"I didn't give it," Bai Shanbao said proudly with his little head raised, "My grandmother wanted to give it, so I rolled around too, and then he was beaten by his uncle, hum!"
