As soon as there was any movement in the courtyard, all the three rooms in the courtyard woke up, and soon Xiao Qian and Feng opened the door and came out.
With them together, it was naturally not Man Bao's turn to boil the water.
A pair of boys and girls stood in the yard and met everyone's knowing gazes. They were instantly embarrassed, and both of their faces turned red.
Xiao Qian said: "Manbao, please ask Master Shan to go sit in the room first, and my sister-in-law will boil water for you."
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief. Man Bao responded and took Bai Shan to the small courtyard next door.
Bai Shan's face felt feverish. He actually had no other intention. He just wanted to see Man Bao. Now that he had seen him and said the most important thing, he didn't know what to say anymore.
Bai Shan scratched his head, looked at her bookshelf, took out a book and said, "Am I leaving?"
Manbao blushed and nodded, waving his hand and saying, "Let's go quickly."
Bai Shan ran away with a blushing face under the meaningful glances of the adults of the old Zhou family. Man Bao also blushed and went to fetch water and came back to wash her face. She decided not to see Bai Shan today.
Bai Shan was too embarrassed to come see Man Bao again, at least not today.
So everyone played at home.
Bai Erlang, who had been waiting for them at home, didn't see anyone coming to the door. He had to go next door to ask Bai Shan, "What are you doing at home?"
Bai Shan raised the book in his hand and said, "Read the book."
Bai Erlang glanced at the book in his hand, couldn't help but look at it again, and then asked after confirming: "Isn't this book upside down? Are you learning how to read upside down words?"
He was confused, "What's the use of learning this?"
Bai Shan turned the book back with an expressionless expression, then closed the book and put it aside, and asked: "What happened so early in the morning?"
Bai Erlang looked up at the sun in the sky, "It's getting late, aren't we? Let's go find Man Bao to wish him a happy birthday?"
Bai Shan refused, "It's better not to go today, let's go tomorrow."
Bai Erlang was surprised, "You don't want to go?"
Bai Shan coughed lightly and said, "On New Year's Day, it's better not to go out."
Bai Erlang:......
Bai Shanlue looked away in embarrassment and changed the subject, "Are you going to your uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow?"
"I won't go. My father and my mother will go there this year," Bai Erlang whispered: "My aunt wants to marry my cousin to my brother, but my brother doesn't agree, and they want to marry their cousin to me, so
My brother and I have to hide a little this year."
Bai Shan understood, nodded and said, "Then let's go and pay New Year's greetings tomorrow."
But this makes today very boring.
The two of them looked at each other, both of them couldn't find anything to do, didn't want to study, didn't want to write a book...
Bai Erlang frowned and asked Bai Shan, "Why do you have to go to Manbao to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow? It's such a good day today. They will have a lot of family members tomorrow..."
The two of them were very busy here, but Man Bao was very busy.
She first found her eldest brother, sat next to him and said, "Brother, I told Li Xue that we would take him to the capital to study. What do you think?"
Zhou Dalang was stunned and asked: "Three heads?"
Manbao nodded.
He looked at Man Bao suspiciously, "Can San Tou read well? He is very naughty and can't sit still very well."
"I have seen his homework, and it is much better than when Li Zhongliwei was studying," Man Bao said: "The school in the village is no longer suitable for him. Even if he does not go to the capital, he should go to the county to study.
"
She said: "Since you have to leave home to study, why not go to a better place? There are many more gentlemen and books in the capital than in the county. There are also more smart people there. All he sees are smart people, and he will change."
Gotta get smarter and smarter.”
Zhou Dalang: Is that so?
Zhou Dalang has three children. The eldest, Zhou Lizhong, stayed in the capital this year to look at a shop and has not come back. The next time he will come back will probably be at the end of the year.
Da Ya got married, and if San Tou left, he would really have no children.
However, Zhou Dalang only hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I need to talk to your sister-in-law about this."
Anyway, the couple is still young now, and their parents are still here, so they don't need their children to follow them around to show their respect.
Man Bao said: "Sister-in-law already knows, as long as eldest brother agrees."
Zhou Dalang: "...when did your sister-in-law know about it, and why didn't I know about it?"
Man Bao smiled and bumped into his eldest brother's shoulder, "Isn't it because the eldest brother didn't agree and it's hard for the sister-in-law to tell me? Now that the eldest brother has agreed, the sister-in-law will tell you tonight."
Zhou Dalang:......
After looking for Zhou Dalang, Man Bao then went to find Zhou Dalang and whispered to him, "Second brother, Sanya said she doesn't want to study anymore."
Zhou Zhoulang didn't believe it, "It's impossible. Last time her mother asked her to go home and learn cooking from your sister-in-law, and she also said she would go to the county town to study in the future."
Zhou Erlang had a headache. Sanya used to be a good boy and a bit timid, but every time Erya came back, he would quietly encourage her. Then she started to like reading more and more, and she became a lot smarter and tougher.
This is a good thing, but being too tough is a bad thing.
Man Bao said: "It's true, so I want to take her with me and plan to teach her medical skills."
Zhou Zhoulang was stunned and asked: "Learn medical skills? Can she learn it?"
"Why not? She is smarter than San Tou and can read better than San Tou. She can definitely learn it."
Zhou Erlang nodded without thinking: "Okay, you can take her there."
Even Zhou Lang agreed, let alone Feng.
She is the one who most wants her daughter to learn a craft. Learning cooking and accounting are both good, but it would be even better if she could learn medicine from her sister-in-law.
Feng happily stuffed a few more coins into Sanya's red envelope.
Then Man Bao went to see Zhou Lang.
As soon as Zhou Lang heard that San Tou and San Ya were going to the capital, he nodded and agreed that Si Tou would follow them without thinking.
Lao Zhoutou and Qian were the last to know.
Man Bao informed them directly, "Eldest brother, second brother and third brother all agreed."
Old Zhoutou:......
He was the first to react and asked: "Who will pay for the money they spend?"
Man Bao smiled and said: "Dad, all the money I spent when I went out came from my father-in-law, so of course it's from my father-in-law."
Although Manbao has a lot of money, it seems that he does not need to pay any money from his family, but their expenses on the road and the rented house in the capital were all shared by Wu Lang and the Bai family after discussion between the three families, and all were given by Lao Zhoutou
money.
After they arrived in the capital, the money they paid to Yi Yi every month for cooking was also paid by Wu Lang, not to mention the clothes and shoes that Man Bao wore, which were all made by Erya.
Of course, Wu Lang paid the money.
Their family's expenses in the capital were all paid out of the official account, and Erya would record it when he kept accounts.
Old Zhoutou:......
Qian made a calculation in her mind and said to Lao Zhoutou: "It's okay, the shops in the capital should be able to afford it."
Therefore, the money that is equivalent to the money earned by a shop in Beijing will basically be spent when it is distributed to the public, and it is impossible to give it to the family again.
