Wu Lang and Liu Lang slowly finished the wontons in their bowls and drank the soup. Then they raised their heads and looked at each other, neither wanting to pick up Yaomei anymore.
It feels really good not to have children!
Wu Lang put down his bowl and chopsticks, wiped his mouth, paid the money and looked up to the second floor of the restaurant.
Man Bao, who was looking at the scenery on the street through the window, was the first to notice his gaze and waved to him excitedly.
Wu Lang stood downstairs and looked up. He pinched his waist and asked, "Are you going to go out to play later? If not, Lao Liu and I will go play by ourselves and pick you up later."
Fu Wenyun immediately tapped Man Bao's arm with her finger, and Man Bao immediately said: "You guys go ahead. If we are not at the restaurant later, we will go to the bookstore."
Wu Lang understood that soon they were going to visit a bookstore, so they had to play separately. He didn't want to go at all.
In fact, Wu Lang liked reading very much at first. Who in the country doesn't want to know countless words, master countless knowledge, and then be an examiner, be granted the title of marquis and become a prime minister?
Dreams, even if they are unrealistic, some people will dream them.
But I recognized five characters the first day, and forgot them all the next day. I came back and forgot them again, and the process of character recognition was so boring.
Not everyone has the patience to squat on the ground and use branches to write the words on the paper stroke by stroke for a long time.
So Wu Lang now gets a headache when he reads books. That is to say, he only recognizes some words with Datou and the others at home so as not to forget them.
He felt that those who could truly love reading from the bottom of their hearts and love it deeply would be either a nerd or a smart child like his Yaomei.
He doesn't rely on either side, so naturally he doesn't like reading.
The bookstores in Luojiang County are not big, and there are few books in them, and few of them are updated. In the past two years, Manbao and Bai Shanbao have visited the bookstores whenever they came to the county, so the bookstore owner has already taken a liking to her.
Very familiar.
But Fu Wenyun's eyesight was very bright.
As soon as he saw Man Bao, the shopkeeper pointed to a location. Man Bao smiled at him and pulled Fu Wenyun over.
She knew that the new books brought into the bookstore were placed in that location.
There were not many people in the bookstore. Man Bao flipped through and found two thin volumes. One was "Zhongda's Poems" written by a man named Kong Zhongda, and the other was "Mao's Poems on Justice".
》.
Man Bao had already finished studying the Book of Songs, so when he saw it, he picked up "Mao Shi Zhengyi" and read it.
Fu Wenyun took a look. It happened that she had just finished studying the Book of Songs, and she was still very impressed. She quickly asked: But "The Biography of Mao"?
Manbao had already opened it, nodded, read it for a while and said: You can buy a copy and go back and read it slowly.
You said it, it's obviously a good book. Fu Wenyun took a book from the bookshelf and planned to buy it and read it slowly.
Fu Wenyun knew that Man Bao had read a lot of books, but he didn't expect that she had read so many. She could speak fluently about so many books in the bookstore.
She could count what she had seen, what she had not seen, which ones were worth watching, which ones they couldn't understand at this stage, and which ones there was no need to watch anymore.
After just walking around the bookstore, Fu Wenyun held seven or eight books in his arms, some of which were also found in the study room at home.
But she wanted a book of her own.
Although the books were very expensive, she could still afford them.
After all, she didn't buy clothes or jewelry with the money her mother gave her today.
Fu Wenyun happily bought the book, then looked at Man Bao and found that she had two empty hands, so she asked in surprise: "Don't you want to buy it?"
I buy ink.
The shopkeeper smiled kindly at Fu Wenyun, skillfully took down a box of ink strips from a shelf and handed it to Man Bao. He sighed: You wrote so much ink, so how much paper did you use?
You bought paper from me.
Man Bao said unceremoniously: Your paper is too expensive.
What I gave you is already the cheapest. If it were any cheaper, I would have lost money.
He sighed when he was full of treasures, so studying is expensive.
The shopkeeper smiled at her. Studying is not expensive, so why is it rare for scholars?
Man Bao paid the money, put the box containing the ink sticks in his bag, and then helped Fu Wenyun hold the book and go out.
Fu Wenyun was very happy today, so he invited Man Bao to go back to the restaurant with him. I'm not in a hurry to go back. Let's sit in the restaurant together. How about I treat you to lunch?
Okay, Manbao happily agreed, but I don’t know if it will disturb your sister.
No, she and the Liu sisters may not go back to the restaurant for dinner. Let’s eat ours first. Besides, I haven’t read most of the books I chose, so I just want to ask you for advice.
Although Fu Wenyun is older than Man Bao, he does not spend as much time studying as Man Bao.
After reading "The Book of Songs", she took a break from school for a period of time. But now that she is studying again, she still needs half a day to go back to the back house to study piano and female music with her sister.
She knows much more than Man Bao, but when it comes to books alone, she really doesn't read as many books as Man Bao.
She envied Man Bao, and Man Bao also envied her. It would be great if she had the opportunity to listen to her sister playing the piano next time she came to the county town.
Fu Wenyun smiled and said: Next time you come to my house, I will take you to my room and play to you there.
Fu Wenyun knew that Man Bao loved to eat, so she ordered three of the restaurant's signature dishes and asked Qiu Yue to eat together with gusto.
After eating it, Manbao said pertinently: It's delicious!
Fu Wenyun had been paying attention to her expression. Hearing this, he smiled and said: But you must have tasted better food. I don't see much surprise on your face.
Man Bao said proudly: My friend's cook makes delicious food, and my sister-in-law makes it delicious too.
Fu Wenyun nodded, I often hear you talking about your sister-in-law's craftsmanship, if you have the chance, you must taste it carefully.
The two chatted, and finally Wu Lang and the others came over first to take Man Bao away.
As usual, Fu Wenyun took out 100 yuan to buy candies. Maybe they were about to separate. Looking at the candies, she felt a little sad. If we leave, I won't be able to eat your candies in the future.
Manbao opened his mouth, not knowing how to comfort her.
Wu Lang glanced at her strangely and said: Then buy more, Miss Er, I have discounts on candies at home. By the way, where are you going? Will you be gone for a long time?
Wu Lang said eloquently: If you are away for a long time, it is best to buy more. When the time comes, they will be sealed in an urn and can be stored for a long time. The quantity is more than 500. If you buy two, we will give you one as a gift.
Man Bao actually thought this was a good idea.
All the sadness in Fu Wenyun's heart was washed away by Wu Wulang.
Qiuyue secretly glared at Wu Lang and said at the right time: Miss, the eldest lady is here.
Wu Lang stopped talking regretfully, and finally said: Second Miss, if you want to buy candy, remember to come to us. My second brother comes to the county town every day to sell vegetables.
