Wei Zhi glanced at the two children in surprise, then at Mr. Zhuang, and then asked with a smile, "How old are you this year?"

Bai Shanbao said proudly: "I am eight years old!"

Man Bao added: "It's a false year!"

Bai Shanbao: "...You are only six years old!"

Man Bao snorted and said, "I will soon be older than you. Girls grow faster than boys."

Wei Zhi burst out laughing and asked, "Who said this?"

Man Bao said proudly: "My friend!"

Of course my friend is Koko.

The water and soil in Qili Village may be very suitable for Bai Shanbao. He has been growing very fast since last year. He was originally only half a head taller than Manbao, but now he is almost a head taller than Manbao.

The last time they had a fight, Man Bao got angry and hit him. When the two of them started fighting, it was already difficult for her to knock him down, and she almost lit up her teeth in the end.

At that time, Keke comforted her and said that in two years, she would grow faster than Bai Shanbao, because generally speaking, girls develop earlier than boys.

Man Bao has been waiting for that time to come.

Wei Zhi thought who was saying this to comfort the children, but did not take it seriously. He mentioned their homework, "Yesterday I passed Bai Shan's homework in the exam. Although he was only eight years old, he completed his homework well. I didn't know you were studying."

How's it going?"

Man Bao was very confident, "I won't be worse than him, just take my test."

Wei Zhi looked at Mr. Zhuang.

Mr. Zhuang was also happy to show off his little disciple to him and raised his hand to signal him to proceed.

Wei Zhi took her exam. He had asked Bai Shanbao yesterday and knew that he had finished studying "The Book of Songs" and was currently reading "The Great Learning". However, his examination of Manbao started from "The Thousand Character Classic", and

Compared with the difficult "University", he preferred to ask Manbao about "The Analects of Confucius".

Man Bao is still very familiar with this book, even more familiar than Bai Shanbao.

Because since she could read her handwriting, she copied two copies of "The Analects" for her husband and returned them. The first set of textbooks she used were all copied by Mr. Zhuang for her.

After Man Bao finished reading and understood, he would always copy two more books for him so that he could give them to other students in the future. It was always cheaper than going to the county town to buy books.

Mr. Zhuang accepted all the books brought by the disciples, and Manbao copied these books and reviewed them again. In addition, she is already teaching several brothers and nephews and nieces to read "The Analects of Confucius". Of course, she is more familiar with it than Bai Shanbao.

.

There is a saying by Master Confucius that is quite right: review the past and learn the new. Although she does not gain something every time she reads "The Analects", she still gains something from reading it several times.

Therefore, her interpretation of the text is more profound than Bai Shanbao's.

Wei Zhi listened more and more seriously, and Man Bao became happier and happier as he talked. Suddenly, his chatty nature broke out and he simply asked Wei Zhi some questions that neither Keke nor Mr. Zhuang could answer.

Wei Zhi:...Children always look at problems from a strange angle, and the questions they ask are naturally strange and difficult to answer.

But after all, this boss is a secretary-supervisor, and his abilities are there.

So although he was surprised, he still answered Man Bao's question seriously.

Even though the book "The Analects" is very basic, it can be read for a lifetime. Not to mention Man Bao and Bai Shanbao, even Mr. Zhuang listened with gusto and benefited a lot from Wei Zhi's explanation.

Therefore, Mr. Zhuang couldn't help but join in and asked Wei Zhi for advice on some of his accumulated problems.

So the four of them got more and more excited as they talked. If Lu Feng hadn't come over to remind Mr. Zhuang that it was time for class in the afternoon, they wouldn't have reacted yet.

Mr. Zhuang stood up with some regret and said apologetically to Wei Zhi: "A conversation with Mr. Wei is better than ten years of reading. Unfortunately, today is short and I can't have a chat with Mr. Wei. I will wait a little later. I wonder if Mr. Wei would mind going to the humble house to have a drink."

?”

Wei Zhi happily agreed.

Mr. Zhuang happily sent Wei Zhi out, and then led the two children back to class.

It wasn't until he was sitting at the desk that Man Bao realized belatedly, "We forgot to take a nap."

Bai Shanbao said painfully: "Did you just realize it now? I felt a little sleepy just now."

But sleeping in class is impossible, especially when they are sitting in the front row

Wei Zhi had been out for a long time and leisurely returned to Bai's house with his hands behind his back. Mrs. Liu watched his whereabouts.

Daji stood aside with his hands down and asked: "Old madam, is he trustworthy?"

Mrs. Liu was silent for a while and said: "Look again, this gentleman is not in a hurry to leave anyway, is he?"

"Then Miss Manbao's place..."

After knowing that Man Bao's parents were Zhou Yin and Zhou Yin was the couple back then, Daji's name for Man Bao changed.

Ms. Liu was silent for longer this time, "Let nature take its course. If Shanbao brings Manbao back today, let them play more in the garden instead of always reading in the study."

Originally, she was not sure whether she wanted to tell Wei Zhihe everything, so she didn't want him to see Man Bao. This was for the good of the Zhou family and Man Bao.

She didn't want to involve the Zhou family in the uncertain situation.

But now that he has met the person, it is obviously a better choice to give him a better impression of Man Bao.

The carefree Man Bao and Bai Shanbao knew nothing about this. After school, Bai Shanbao invited Man Bao to his home to do homework.

Because of their slackness, Mr. Zhuang left them with a lot of homework today.

He felt that even if he did his homework as soon as he got home, he might not be able to finish it before dinner.

This made him a little sad and a little bit blaming Manbao, "It's all your fault. If you hadn't stumbled so hard, sir wouldn't have asked me such a profound question later."

Man Bao was unconvinced, "Obviously you didn't prepare well enough on your own, and you still relied on me because you couldn't answer the sir's questions."

Bai Shanbao didn't want to quarrel with her, because he would have to do homework with her later, so he said: "Okay, there will be a new text tomorrow. After finishing the homework and reviewing, we still have to preview. Why don't you do it at my house?"

Let’s have dinner. After eating, we will continue to preview together.”

"I'll go back to my house to eat, and come back when I'm full."

"Why don't you eat at my house?"

"Because my elder sister-in-law is cooking today, and my second brother and the others must have bought meat from the county town today. When my second sister-in-law cooks tomorrow, you can invite me to have dinner at your house."

Bai Shanbao: "...Okay."

Finally, when they got home, their grandmother actually asked them to go play in the garden instead of doing homework in a hurry. Bai Shanbao became even more worried, "Grandma, can we go to the garden to play after we finish our homework?"

Mrs. Liu didn't know that they had more homework today. She just thought that they wanted to peek at miscellaneous books in the study, so she said with a straight face: "No."

Manbao pulled Bai Shanbao, but Bai Shanbao could only respond.
Chapter completed!
