Chapter 292 drinking
Mr. Zhuang put away the textbooks and looked down at a group of students who were about to move around. Even Bai Shanbao and Manbao, who had always been specially taken care of by him, had bright eyes. They put their hands on both sides of the closed books, as if they would put them away as soon as he said get out of class was over. He picked up the textbook and rushed out.
Mr. Zhuang couldn't help but smile when he saw it, and asked slowly: "Have all of your families started harvesting wheat?"
The children nodded and looked at Mr. Zhuang in confusion.
Mr. Zhuang said: "The wheat has bloomed, and the summer harvest has begun."
The students were confused, but Bai Shanbao's eyes became brighter and brighter, apparently thinking of something.
Mr. Zhuang nodded slightly to him and said with a smile: "Let's take three days off for the summer harvest this year."
The students were stunned for a moment, and after confirming that the teacher was not joking, they all started shouting excitedly, and Man Bao also clapped his hands excitedly.
Mr. Zhuang waited for them to shout, then pressed his hand down, and after they calmed down, he said: "You must also help the family work these three days, and don't always think about playing. Farming is the foundation of the people. In the future, you
Whether you are serving as a butcher for an official or doing business as a farmer, you will all need them. What’s more, the elders in the family are working hard, so how can you just sit back and enjoy the benefits?"
All the students stood up one after another, bent down and said "yes" obediently in unison, Man Bao's little head almost touched the table.
Mr. Zhuang stroked his beard with satisfaction and said, "Okay, that's it for today. Let's get off to school."
"Congratulations, sir!"
Mr. Zhuang lowered his head and glanced at Manbao and Bai Shanbao, and said, "Come to see me in the small courtyard later."
When Mr. Zhuang walked out of the classroom door, the quiet classroom instantly erupted with cheers and noise. Everyone immediately packed up and went home.
The one who moved quickly quickly stuffed the books into the bookcase and rushed out with them.
Mr. Zhuang, who had just walked a few steps away, heard the noise behind him, shook his head with a smile, and walked back to the small courtyard.
Manbao and Bai Shanbao looked at each other and then lowered their heads to pack their books. They were not excited at all.
The teacher will definitely prepare extra homework for them.
Bai Shanbao invited Manbao in advance, "Are you going to my house to do your homework?"
Man Bao thought for a while. Everyone in her family had gone to cut wheat, and obviously no one took her up the mountain to find Poria cocos, so she nodded, "Okay."
Mr. Zhuang did have homework for them, and there was quite a lot of it. Man Bao wrinkled his face while writing it down and asked: "Sir, if we don't know how, can we come and ask you?"
Mr. Zhuang thought for a while and said: "You guys sit down first. If you don't know how, you can ask Mr. Bai for advice. I have to go to the city for a while."
It is precisely because he is going to the city that he will take a holiday during the summer harvest this time. You must know that in the past, he would only take a holiday during the autumn harvest.
Man Bao took note of it and asked curiously, "Why did you come to the city?"
Mr. Zhuang smiled slightly and said: "The imperial decree has come down, and this year all Mianzhou areas have been exempted from autumn taxes, so I will go home to see your senior brother and the others."
Man Bao's eyes lit up, "Are all autumn taxes exempt?"
Mr. Zhuang nodded with a smile, "Not long after, the village chief will also come to inform the village that the autumn tax has been waived. Most people should be able to survive this year. Everyone just needs to prepare a tax."
Man Bao nodded fiercely.
This is really good news. Manbao didn't even ask Mr. Zhuang where he got the information. Mr. Zhuang would never lie to them.
Man Bao happily ran home with his bookcase on his back, told his family about it first, and then went to find Bai Shanbao with his homework.
Unfortunately, only Mr. He, who was cooking dinner, and Sanya and Si Tou were at home now. Everyone else was working in the fields, so the good news about Man Bao could only be told to her.
But just like that, Mr. He was so happy that he immediately asked Sanya to ask Mr. Qian in the vegetable garden if he could boil some eggs in the evening to celebrate.
When Lao Zhou led a group of young people back for dinner, they heard the good news. He immediately laughed heartily twice, and then asked Zhou Dalang to take out the jar of wine that Zhou Dalang had hidden for the wedding wine in May.
Decided to have a drink in the evening.
When Zhou Dalang ran to the utility room and took out a jar of wine from nowhere, the women in the family realized that their father and son had secretly hidden the wine.
Lao Zhoutou smiled. When he turned around and met Qian's eyes staring at him, he couldn't help but stiffen and suddenly felt guilty.
What a rare good thing, Qian just snorted and did not immediately go to him to settle the score.
Lao Zhou touched the back of his neck and sighed, but no matter what, let's get through tonight first.
Manbao has been interested in wine for a long time, because not only her father likes it, but also her brothers, from the eldest brother to the fifth brother, and she is very interested in everything delicious and delicious.
Man Bao sat in her seat and started to stare at her brothers drinking. When she finished her meal and her sisters-in-law had finished their food, she immediately took the bowl and sat between Zhou Lang and Wu Lang, pretending to want more
Eat the food and then look at the wine in their bowls.
Of course they couldn't afford to drink very good wine, so they got it from people who sold loose wine in the county. It was said that it was made from rice, so it was very valuable.
After a wedding banquet, besides meat, the second most expensive item is wine.
This is still a situation where they only provide half a jar per table. If they open up the supply, I don’t know how much it will cost.
Manbao thought that white rice was delicious and porridge was also delicious, so he made wine from rice...
Man Bao looked around furtively, and when Wu Lang turned to talk to Da Tou and the others, she secretly reached out and dragged the bowl in front of him, smelled it, and thought it was very fragrant, so she lowered her head and took a sip...
The bitter, astringent, and somewhat spicy feeling instantly exploded in the taste buds. Manbao spit it out immediately, and then coughed violently.
Lao Zhoutou happened to see her drinking secretly, her mouth opened and her eyes widened.
Wu Lang immediately snatched his wine bowl back and stared at her, "How old are you when you start drinking?"
Man Bao stuck out his tongue like a barking dog and turned to look for his sister-in-law with tears in his eyes.
Xiao Qian was curious and amused. He poured some water for her to drink and patted her butt. "Your sixth brother can't even drink at this age. Why are you so brave?"
However, Lao Zhoutou had already closed his mouth and retracted his eyes. He waved to the little girl, brought her to him and said with a smile: "If you want to drink, just tell daddy, come on, drink daddy's drink."
When the father-in-law opened his mouth, little Qian could not interrupt, but Qian glared at him and said, "You're already drunk after only half a bowl of yellow soup?"
Lao Zhoutou immediately shrank his neck, smiled at Man Bao, patted her head and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go play. When you grow up a little, you must be at least as old as your sixth brother."
Drink more.”
Man Bao said, "I won't drink it anymore. It's so unpleasant."
Old Zhoutou burst out laughing, and the brothers of the Zhou family couldn't help but laugh. They all picked up the bowls and took a sip, saying happily: "Why does it taste so bad? It tastes so good."
