Chapter 7 The Storybook

After breakfast was ready, a group of children ran out and took their seats.

Zhou Dalang sits next to the old head of Zhou, and the little Qian family should sit on the opposite side, but because Man Bao is favored, she has always occupied the position below the Qian family.

Little Qian carried the aunt to the stool and sat down, then got up and distributed porridge to everyone.

Friday Lang and Saturday Lang glanced at the thin porridge and pouted. They used to eat breakfast in the morning. After all, they had to work during the day and only eat thick porridge at night.

But the parents were on top, and they didn't dare to say anything dissatisfied.

The three older brothers above all handed the bowl to Xiao Qian Shi with a sullen face, while Shirou couldn't wait to bury his head in his chest.

Mrs. Qian glanced at the fourth uncle, took his bowl, the spoon still floated up a lot, and then gave him a bowl of porridge.

If everyone’s porridge can still be called porridge, then what’s in Shirou’s bowl can only be called rice soup.

Thursday Lang almost burst into tears, he looked up at his sister-in-law, met her cold gaze, lowered his head and dared not speak.

Man Bao looked around, thinking that she could still go to school to eat rice crackers at noon, so she poured half of the porridge in the bowl to her father and mother.

The old Zhoutou and the Qian family were so moved that they didn't even bother to talk about the little Qian family.

Everyone ate porridge in silence. They also wanted to be filial, but they were afraid of starvation.

Qian Shi put the porridge back again and squinted, "Man Bao eats, and mother doesn't have to work, so she's not hungry."

Man Bao protected the bowl and said, "I don't want to eat, my stomach is small and I'm already full."

Seeing that he couldn't beat her, Mrs. Qian gave some of the porridge to her three sons and told them, "You have to go out to work and eat more. If you are hungry on the way, find something to fill first, and then pay the village chief's money back. Now, the days at home will be slowed down."

The three sons responded.

Old Zhou Tou glanced at his wife and said, "Okay, this is Man Bao's filial piety to you, don't give it all to them."

Then he said to the second child: "Tomorrow you go to the market, carry a bag of grain, and return some money. The village chief's money is not in a hurry. After the Chinese New Year, your brothers can always earn some money back, but your mother needs to buy medicine for medicine. , I can't leave a penny at home."

Tuesday Lang responded in a low voice.

Qian Shi took the opportunity to say: "Tomorrow, bring Man Bao and the others with you, and the second one's family, you can go with them too, just watch a few children."

Wuwu Lang and Saturday Lang immediately said: "Mother, mother, and us, we will also be optimistic about Manbao and Datoudaya."

Qian Shi didn't really want the fifth and sixth to go, so he frowned and said, "How's your fourth brother's wasteland going?"

Wuwu Lang's intuition was bad, but it was a pity that he was too far away from Man Bao to kick her, so he could only look at her from a distance.

Fortunately, Man Bao had a good heart with him, raised his head to look at his brother, and then at his mother, and finally said, "Mother, let the fifth and sixth brothers go together, otherwise I can't watch them."

Big head immediately raised his head, "Little aunt, I'm older than you, you don't need to look at me."

This one is sitting close, and Friday Lang kicked his head hard, stinky boy, telling you to break the scene.

With a loud "Ow", he jumped up and shouted, "Mother, fifth uncle kicked me!"

Xiao Qian glared at Wu Wulang, patted the silly son, and twisted him and said, "Hurry up and eat porridge, you talk a lot, didn't you see your sister-in-law didn't say anything?"

The big head bowed his head pitifully.

Old Zhou Tou took everything in his eyes, just finished eating the porridge, put down the bowl and said: "Let them go, they are still children, the big head and the big girl are naughty, the second child may not be able to watch it, let the fifth The sixth follow, don't lose the child. The fourth continues to open up the wasteland."

Old Zhou Tou glared at Shirou Lang, who was working hard, and set a deadline, "I'll give you a month. If you can't make an acre of land, don't even eat porridge."

Shirou was so miserable in his heart.

However, Manbao still stabbed a knife in his heart, and sat next to him after the meal and asked, "Fourth brother, do you know why you're where you are now?"

She asked herself, "It's because you gamble!"

Thurou:  …

Lord Manbao sighed angrily, and patted his shoulder with his small hand: "Everyone who gambles money is a villain. I know such a simple truth, why don't you know?"

"Man Bao, we're going to school." Mrs. Qian put all the vegetables in the basket, and wanted to put Man Bao in the back basket to carry, but Man Bao shook his hand and raised his neck proudly: "Sister-in-law, I have already When you grow up, don't carry it."

Little Qian couldn't help but be amused, "Has our Man Bao grown up?"

"Yes, I am six years old."

Shirou, who was so saddened by her words, directly stretched out his hand and ruffled her short hair and laughed, "It's still six years old, you are not even five years old, do you know what a birthday is?"

Man Bao was shaken unsteadily by him, and shouted loudly. Before she could raise her head, Thursday Lang let go and ran away. Man Bao's hair was messed up, and he burst into tears with a "wow" in anger.

Xiao Qian was frightened. The sister-in-law seldom cried, and she didn't cry much since she was one year old. Seeing her crying so badly, Xiao Qian was stunned for a moment before hugging her.

In the room, Qian Shi threw down the sewing basket, jumped out of bed with flexible hands and feet, and ran out with half-wearing shoes, "What's wrong, what's wrong, what's wrong with my baby?"

Man Bao felt aggrieved for a while, but after crying for the first time, it was almost all right. She was already aggrieved, but when she saw Qian, she didn't know what was wrong, and she felt even more aggrieved. She cried and rushed into her mother's bed. In his arms, he complained: "Mother, the fourth brother bullied me, you see him messing with my hair."

Qian Shi immediately straightened her messy hair. She was so angry that she directly ordered: "This stinky brat really can't be beaten. Don't cook his meals at night, make him hungry."

There is nothing wrong with the little Qian Shi, and he immediately responded loudly.

Qian Shi felt sorry for her daughter, wiped her tears, and said, "Okay, we won't cry anymore, Mommy will boil eggs for you, okay?"

Little Qian asked, "Then why don't you go to school?"

"Don't go, I will cook eggs for Man Bao and cook rice to eat."

Xiao Qian felt a little bit of pain, but when she thought that my sister-in-law was made to cry this time, she should be coaxed, she nodded and agreed, but Man Bao was unwilling and broke away from her mother's arms and said, "No, I'm going to school. "

Her reasons are also very good, "I'm going to the market tomorrow, and I can't go to the school to listen to the class. I have to tell Mr. Zhuang."

Xiao Qian said, "Don't worry, little aunt, I will help you tell Mr. Zhuang."

"No, I said it myself, and today I'm going to see if Mr. Zhuang's manuscript is finished. I have to bring it back when it's done."

"Then..." Little Qian looked at Qian hesitantly.

Seeing that her daughter was no longer sad, Mrs Qian touched her little face and said with a smile, "Okay, go if you want."

Man Bao turned around and happily went to school with Xiao Qian.

As soon as the two sisters-in-law left, Mrs Qian stood up from the ground, her face sank, and said to the two daughters-in-law and two young sons who were watching, "Go and bring back the fourth son, it's really against him. If you have the ability to do things outside, gamble and lose money, and have the ability to come back and bully the family."

The four listened to the order, and the whole village went to arrest Shirou.

As soon as Man Bao arrived at the school, she lay on the window and listened to Mr. Zhuang's class. Today they were talking about "The Analects of Confucius". Before, Man Bao had heard a few sentences, but she had not memorized it systematically. This is a big class, and all the children have learned the "Analects of Confucius", so it starts from the first class.

Man Bao listened to the whole process, but Mr. Zhuang only taught everyone to recite repeatedly in this class, and did not explain the meaning of the scriptures.

Man Bao didn't even have a book, so she just followed along in a confused way. She has always had a good memory. She only remembered it after reading it back and forth three or four times, but she didn't know the specific words, let alone the meaning.

Seeing that Mr. Zhuang is still teaching these back and forth.

As usual, Man Bao would continue to memorize with great interest, but today she was in a bad mood and was affected a little, so she couldn't concentrate.

She felt that after she carried it on her back, she slipped off the windowsill and secretly ran to Mr. Zhuang's yard.

Mr. Zhuang's study is never closed, and I don't know if it is a habit, or for the convenience of a child who always sneaks in to clean for him.

Man Bao wandered around in the yard and the study, and finally sat on the steps, resting his chin in a daze, actually talking to the system.

"Keke, do you think fourth brother hates me?"

The system said: "Host, no one in this world will always be liked, that is, money is always hated by others."

"But I'm not money, I'm the fourth brother's sister, how can he not like me?"

The system was silent for a while and then said: "In this world, it is normal for fathers to hate their children, mothers to hate their children, and siblings to hate each other."

"Nonsense, how can there be parents who don't like their children in this world? Don't brothers and sisters want friendship and help?"

"That's the host's wishful thinking." The system felt that it might be too lonely, so it would say this to the little host, but it felt that it was also laying the foundation for his safety and future development. If his host was too naive, then He will be really worried in the future.

So after searching in the encyclopedia, he found a book called "Top Ten Evil Fathers in History" and gave it to Man Bao, saying, "Host, this is what I borrowed from you. It costs points to borrow books. Remember to pay me back when you earn points."

A book suddenly appeared in Man Bao's hand, her eyes were shining, she had long since put aside the hurt her fourth brother had done to her, and asked happily, "Is this for me?"

The system emphasized, "This is lent to the host to see, and it will be returned after reading it."

Man Bao was very moved, "Keko, you are so kind, this is my first book."

The system emphasized again, "Host, you have to pay it back after reading it, or you will have to deduct a lot of points."

Man Bao was very arrogant and waved his little hand, "Come on, buying books also costs a lot of money."

System: "...Host, you have no points."

Man Bao has already lowered his head to turn over the book.

The text on the book was replaced by the text of this era. Man Bao already knew many, many words, and it was written in vernacular, so she read it with relish, just like reading a story book.

In fact, this is also a story book about the top ten scumbags in history.
