Master Bai glanced at his silly son and asked, "Erlang, why don't you go?"

Bai Erlang said confidently: "I don't understand the melons they are talking about, so I won't go. Call me when you want to plant fruit trees."

Master Bai:......

Mr. Zhuang burst out laughing and said to Mr. Bai, "It's not a bad thing that he has such a simple mind. Mr. Bai doesn't need to be too harsh."

Mr. Bai smiled at Mr. Zhuang, and in front of Mr. Zhuang, he temporarily let his son go.

The servants brought bowls and chopsticks up to feed the two children. Mr. Bai first gave Manbao a chopstick of meat, and then asked Mr. Zhuang, "Sir, do you plan to continue teaching in the school, or come to our house?"

?”

Mr. Zhuang thought for a while and said, "Let's stay in school."

If there are children who come here to play and see them in class, they might want to observe.

Mr. Bai said: "I'm afraid that the school is too empty, and sir will catch the cold while teaching there."

Mr. Zhuang smiled nonchalantly and said: "The small courtyard where I live is also spacious. When I don't want to teach in the school, I just take them to the small courtyard."

There is a big difference between three students and thirty students, and you can teach anywhere.

Only then did Mr. Bai stop forcing him.

Mr. Zhuang only drank one glass of wine and left after finishing the meal, taking Man Bao with him.

After the master and apprentice crossed the bridge, they walked slowly along the river bank. Man Bao asked with concern: "Sir, you only have three students, can you still make money?"

Mr. Zhuang asked funnyly: "What if I can't help you?"

"I have money," Man Bao said seriously, "I can pay a lot of money to my husband."

Mr. Zhuang could hear the fear in her voice, and he was moved. He reached out and patted her back gently, saying comfortingly: "Don't worry, sir, you won't leave."

He said: "You and Shanbao are the two smartest children I have ever seen. Even if it is not for money, I will continue to teach here."

Manbao opened her mouth to speak, but Mr. Zhuang shook his head at her and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry. Mrs. Bai came to see me a few days ago. She said that she would hire me as Shanbao's husband and give me more money every month."

Those who opened schools before were even higher."

Manbao then became quiet.

"So you can rest assured, sir, you won't be hungry. However," Mr. Zhuang said after a pause, "I'm afraid your sister-in-law can no longer cook in the school."

Man Bao was very happy, "It doesn't matter, my sister-in-law can just find another job."

Mr. Zhuang nodded, "When you come back to school after the new year, ask your family to send your rice and noodles to Shanbao's house, and then send fifty cents a month. Is that okay?"

Man Bao nodded, indicating that it was no problem.

Mr. Zhuang then continued: "Man Bao, I have decided to accept Bai Shan as my disciple. From now on, you will not only be classmates, but also brothers and sisters."

Man Bao's eyes widened and he shouted: "No! It's senior sisters and brothers!"

Mr. Zhuang: "..."

Man Bao stood in front of Mr. Zhuang and argued, "Sir, I was the first to become a disciple. I also entered school one day earlier than him, so I am older than him."

Given Mr. Zhuang's understanding of Bai Shanbao, this may be a bit difficult because, "He is older than you."

"Don't books say that seniority is based on entry? How can it be based on age?"

Mr. Zhuang glanced at her and said, "We are studying, not practicing martial arts."

Man Bao shrank his neck and asked in a low voice, "Sir, do you know?"

"The confiscated books are still with sir, do you think I don't know?"

Man Bao felt guilty for a moment, and then said confidently: "I think the principles are the same, so I am a senior sister."

Mr. Zhuang waved his hand and said: "You can discuss this among yourselves. The Bai family will choose a good day to become a disciple. Before that, you can discuss it yourself."

Man Bao opened her mouth wide, and first looked down at her height. She felt that her chances of winning in a fight with Bai Shanbao were not very good, but it was not good to find foreign aid for this kind of thing.

Mrs. Liu was also talking to Bai Shanbao about becoming a disciple.

"Mr. Zhuang is very talented, and you are always naughty. With so many gentlemen, you are the only one who can listen to Mr. Zhuang's lectures. So after discussing with your mother, I decided to hire Mr. Zhuang to teach you at home."

Mrs. Liu said: "However, Mr. Zhuang was invited back by your cousin. Although your eldest cousin has gone to study in the government school, Erlang is still here, so Mr. Zhuang will teach you two together."

"What about Man Bao?"

Liu smiled, "She is Mr. Zhuang's disciple, so naturally she studied with Mr. Zhuang."

After Mrs. Liu said this, she paused and said: "Mr. Zhuang is not bad at learning, so I mentioned it to him and wanted you to become your master and confirm your identity as master and disciple. I have asked Aunt Liu to ask about the date.

When a good date is determined, we will bring the teacher to your door to worship him."

Bai Shanbao's eyes lit up, "Sir, have you agreed?"

Mrs. Liu smiled and nodded.

"Then am I senior brother?"

It took Mrs. Liu a while to figure out what her grandson meant. She couldn't help but smile and said, "I don't know about this. Logically speaking, you are a junior, so you should be considered a junior brother, right?"

Bai Shanbao's eyes widened and he said unhappily: "But I am older and I am better at reading than her. I should be the senior brother."

Mrs. Liu smiled and said: "Your husband will return to the county town tomorrow. You can ask him when you go to see him off."

Mr. Zhuang obviously didn't expect that the two children's concerns were so consistent, so when he was asked, he was silent for a moment before saying, "Man Bao said she wants to be a senior sister."

Bai Shanbao said solemnly: "But sir, I am older than her, and my reading is slightly better than hers. Logically speaking, I should be the senior brother."

Mr. Zhuang stroked his beard and smiled: "You can go to her to discuss it, if she is willing to give up her position as senior brother to you."

Bai Shanbao found it a bit difficult, but he liked to face difficulties, so at the foot of the barren mountain in Zhoulang, the two children met on a stone.

Now that they met, Bai Shanbao decided to discuss the matter with Manbao carefully.

Both of them had very good reasons. They couldn't convince each other and stared at each other.

Man Bao clenched his fists and asked, "Do you want to fight with me?"

Bai Shanbao thought so, but thinking about her bad habit of biting people if she couldn't beat them, he decided to be reasonable first and then take action if she couldn't.

"If you let me be your senior brother, I will take care of you from now on."

"You are my junior brother and you have to listen to me."

Bai Shanbao thought for a while and reluctantly said, "If you agree, I will give you my twelve zodiac signs."

Man Bao's heart skipped a beat, then refused, "No, being a senior sister is more important."

"I can also take you to Yizhou Prefecture."

"When our farm makes money the year after next, I can go there."

"What if you can't make money?" Bai Shanbao said, "Do you know what natural and man-made disasters are?"
