Chapter 67 Warning

Man Bao replied happily, and said, "Da Ya and the others can read characters very quickly. Now they can write our county and village names and their own names."

Little Qian nodded and said with a smile, "Then you should teach them more. You don't need to learn some poetry and songs, you just need to know some characters. The most important thing is to know numbers. Knowing arithmetic is the most important thing."

Qian has his own wisdom. It is naturally better to be able to read and write. If he can't, he also needs to know numbers. At least he will not be fooled when he goes out to buy things.

Man Bao said she would teach them all.

Qian Shi patted her head and encouraged her to study hard, "Don't worry about family affairs, mother's health is much better, as long as you grow up healthy and fast."

Man Bao didn't quite understand why his mother said that, but he nodded happily.

Qian said: "Okay, your fifth brother bought your chicken, you can take a look."

Only then did Man Bao understand why her mother said these words, she naughty hugged her shoulders and said, "Mother, I am healthy, and you should be healthy too."

Then jumped to see her cock.

There were two chicken coops in the corner outside the chicken house. Man Bao ran over and saw the chickens in the chicken coop at first sight, and she was shocked.

There is a chicken in the two chicken coops, and the chicken coops are far apart, but they all look the same, their hair is taunting, and there are many people who have been pecked out of blood on their bodies. Man Bao jumped over, and they were startled. Shrinking his neck and shaking his body, Lin Manbao was like a bully.

Man Bao squatted in front of the chicken coop and looked at the chickens. Their appearance was too familiar. She glanced at the two chickens and ran to find her fifth brother.

Friday Lang is counting the money. Not all of today's flower baskets have been sold, so the income is less than that of the previous two days.

He counted it again, made a note in his notebook, and then pushed it to Man Bao.

Man Bao didn't care about the money for the time being, and asked, "Fifth brother, are you going to buy chickens from the cockfighting people?"

"Yeah," said Friday Lang as a matter of course: "Didn't you say that the chicken girl you bought is reluctant to eat? I think it's useless to buy a hen that can't lay eggs, because it doesn't lay eggs now, and it can lay once it is raised. Well, in the end, my mother was still reluctant to eat it, so I went to buy fighting cocks, they are all like that, and they can’t survive any longer, so it’s better to kill them and eat them.”

Wu Wulang winked and said to her, "It's still cheap. You can buy two for one chicken."

Man Bao couldn't help giving him a thumbs up, "Brother Fifth, you are so smart."

She swallowed and asked, "Then why don't you kill one tonight?"

"Mother said it's too late, dinner is ready, I'll kill you tomorrow." Wuwu Lang sighed, "Mother said, if I spend money for you next time, I won't be allowed to go to the county town, Manbao, in the future You should find someone else for things like buying chickens."

Man Bao hummed: "If you don't help me, I will buy it in the village."

She rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "I already have a solution."

Churoulang asked curiously, "What can I do?"

"I won't tell you." Man Bao lowered his head and counted the money, not only calculating their private accounts, but also calculating the public accounts that were to be paid, and then distributed the money to everyone, and then kept the accounts.

Wu Wulang looked envious, "Man Bao, how long does your head grow? I've been studying for so long, but I still can't figure out how to calculate the money paid to the public."

Man Bao said: "Diligence can make up for one's clumsiness. If you have nothing to do in the future, you can just give two numbers to calculate, and you will gradually get it."

Keke said that this is mental arithmetic, which can exercise people's brain and logical thinking. In short, it can make smart people smarter, and stupid people become less stupid, or even smarter.

When Manbao was younger, he had nothing to play with, and his favorite was to play with Keke.

She tested Keke, and then Keke tested her again.

So she is the best person in the family.

Man Bao kept the accounts and collected the money everyone gave her for safekeeping. He temporarily gave the big guys two questions, and let them figure it out for themselves.

With two-digit addition and subtraction, Shirou couldn't help sweating all over his forehead, so Manbao taught them, "First count with your fingers, if your fingers are not enough, add your toes. If you count too much, you won't need to break your fingers."

"But don't our fingers and toes add up?"

"Then count other people's?" Man Bao said as a matter of course: "I often count with dad's fingers and toes. Look, I don't have to borrow his fingers and toes now."

Brothers and nephews were stunned. They didn't expect their father (grandfather) to be borrowed by the younger sister (aunt).

While eating dinner, the old man felt that the fourth, fifth, sixth, and several grandchildren looked at him strangely, so he touched his face and asked, "Is there a grain of rice on my face?"

The people who peeked immediately shook their heads and bowed their heads strangely to eat dinner.

Man Bao is unaware of these things, and is burying her head in the bowl and trying hard to cook rice. Her appetite has always been good, and she eats a lot. Qian will restrain her grandchildren from eating dinner, but she is not willing to let the little girl go hungry. The stomach has been keeping her full.

Man Bao knew that food should not be wasted, so he cleaned the last grain of rice in the bowl, put down the bowl and said obediently, "Mother, I'm full."

Qian shi glanced outside, and seeing that there was still light, he asked her to teach them how to read.

A group of children hurrahed into the yard, playing and recognizing characters, until the last slant of the setting sun completely disappeared, and it was getting dark. arts".

The sound of reading aloud here spread to the village, and someone glanced in the direction of Zhou's house and said enviously, "Zhou Jin's family is going to be a scholar."

"Take it down, just teach a child to read two sentences. It doesn't matter whether he knows the words or not. If it is so easy to become a scholar, isn't the world full of scholars?"

"What do you know? As long as you know the words, you can count, and you can even be the accountant if you go to the county. Let's see, the girl in their family should be able to study in the school for seven or eight years and teach her brother what she has learned. With my nephew, in less than ten years, their family will be different from ours."

He sighed, "How could such a good girl be reborn in their house?"

While talking, he looked at his mother-in-law with a look of disgust. His wife was very unconvinced and pinched her waist and said, "You don't even look at who the father is, is it because I won't give birth? It's your seed that is bad. !"

Their children looked at their parents curiously. The couple was about to quarrel when the old man sitting above tapped the table with a pipe and said, "What are you yelling at? That's the root of our Zhou family, and it has been around for hundreds of years. These two good seedlings are still not promising?"

His daughter-in-law couldn't say anything, so he could only scold his son, "Keep your mouth shut, don't mess around outside, if you tell me to hear something unpleasant..."

His son lowered his head and answered honestly.
