After breakfast was ready, a group of children ran outside and sat down in their seats.
Sitting under Zhou Dalang's head was Zhou Dalang, and Xiao Qian's seat should have been sitting across from him. However, because Man Bao was favored, she had always occupied the seat under Qian's head.
Xiao Qian carried his sister-in-law to a stool and sat down, then got up and shared the porridge with everyone.
Wu Lang and Zhou Lang looked at the thin porridge and pouted. They used to eat breakfast for breakfast. After all, they had to work during the day and only ate thick porridge at night.
But with their parents on top, they didn't dare to say anything dissatisfied.
The three brothers above all handed the bowl to Xiao Qian with a sullen expression, while Zhou Lang could not wait to bury his head in his chest.
Xiao Qian glanced at his fourth uncle and took his bowl. The spoon still floated up a lot, and then he served him a bowl of porridge.
If everyone's porridge can still be called porridge, then what is in Zhoulang's bowl can only be called rice soup.
Zhou Lang almost cried. He raised his head and glanced at his sister-in-law. When he met her cold gaze, he lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
Manbao looked around, thinking that she could still go to the school to eat crispy rice at noon, so she poured half of the porridge in the bowl for her father and mother.
Lao Zhoutou and Mr. Qian were so moved that they didn't even bother to talk about Mr. Qian. They kept praising Manbao, "My daughter is still considerate and knows how to honor us."
Everyone ate their porridge in silence. They also wanted to be filial, but they were afraid of going hungry.
Mrs. Qian put the porridge back again and narrowed her eyes with a smile, "It's full of food. Mom doesn't have to work, so she's not hungry."
Man Bao protected the bowl and said, "I don't want to eat. My stomach is small and I'm almost full."
Seeing that he couldn't resist her, Mrs. Qian gave some porridge to her three sons and told them, "You have to go out to work and eat more. If you are hungry on the way, find something to fill up first, and then pay back the village chief's money."
Now, life at home has eased."
The three sons responded.
Lao Zhou glanced at his wife and said, "Okay, this is Man Bao's filial piety to you. Don't give it all to them."
Then he said to the second child: "Tomorrow you go to the market, carry a bag of grain, and exchange some money for it. The money from the village chief is not urgent. You brothers can always earn some money during the Chinese New Year, but your mother needs to buy medicine to take medicine."
, we can’t leave no money at home.”
Zhou Erlang responded in a low voice.
Qian took the opportunity and said, "Tomorrow, take Manbao and the others with you. You can also go with the second son's family. Just look after a few children."
Wu Lang and Zhou Lang immediately said: "Mom, mother, and us, we will also be optimistic about Man Bao and Da Tou Da Ya."
Qian didn't really want to let Lao Wu and Lao Liu go. Hearing this, he frowned and said, "How is your fourth brother's wasteland going?"
Wu Lang's intuition was bad, but he was too far away from Man Bao, so he couldn't kick her, so he could only look at her from a distance.
Fortunately, Man Bao had a good understanding with him. He raised his head and looked at his brother, then at his mother, and finally said: "Mom, let the fifth brother and the sixth brother go together, otherwise I won't be able to keep an eye on Datou and the others."
Datou immediately raised his head and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm older than you. You don't need to look at me."
There was someone sitting close here, Wu Lang gave him a hard kick on the head, "You brat, I told you to break up the situation."
The big head made an "ouch" sound, jumped up and shouted: "Mom, fifth uncle kicked me!"
Mrs. Qian glared at Wu Lang, patted her silly son, and said, "Hurry up and eat your porridge. You are the only one who talks a lot. Didn't you even say anything when I didn't see your sister-in-law?"
Big head lowered his head pitifully.
Lao Zhoutou saw everything and finished the porridge. He put down the bowl and said: "Let them go. They are still children. Da Tou Da Ya and the others are naughty. The second family may not be able to bear it. Let Lao Wu
The sixth child will follow and don't lose the child. The fourth child will continue to open up wasteland."
Lao Zhoutou glared at Zhou Lang who was immersed in eating and set a deadline, "I'll give you a month. If you can't cultivate an acre of land, you won't even eat the porridge."
Zhou Lang felt extremely miserable.
But Man Bao stabbed him in the heart. After dinner, he sat down next to him and asked, "Fourth brother, do you know why you are in this situation?"
She asked herself and answered, "It's because you gamble!"
Thursday Lang:......
Master Manbao sighed as if he was angry, patted his shoulder with his small hand and said: "All those who gamble are bad guys. I know such a simple truth, why don't you know it?"
"Man Bao, we're going to school." Xiao Qian put all the vegetables into the basket and was about to put Man Bao in a backpack to carry, but Man Bao shook his hand and raised his neck very proudly and said: "Sister-in-law, I have already
When you grow up, stop carrying it."
Xiao Qian couldn't help but be happy, "Has our Man Bao grown up?"
"Yes, I am six years old."
Zhou Lang, who was very angry at what she said, stretched out his hand to ruffle the short hair on her head, and mocked: "You are still six years old. You are not even five years old. Do you know what one year is?"
Man Bao was shaken to the point of losing his balance and yelled. Before she could raise her head, Zhou Lang let go and ran away. Man Bao's hair was messy and he was so angry that he cried "Wow" loudly.
Xiao Qianshi was frightened. Her sister-in-law seldom cried, and even less so after she turned one year old. When she saw her crying so hard, Xiao Qianshi was frightened for a moment before going to hug her.
Qian dropped her sewing basket in the room with a bang, jumped out of bed with nimble hands and feet, and ran out with her shoes half on, "What's wrong, what's wrong, what's wrong with my baby?"
Man Bao felt aggrieved for a moment, and she almost felt better after crying for the first time. She was already feeling aggrieved, but when she saw Qian, she didn't know what was going on, and she felt even more aggrieved. She cried and threw herself into her mother's arms.
In my arms, I complained: "Mom, fourth brother is bullying me, look at him messing with my hair."
Qian immediately straightened her messy hair. She was so angry that she directly ordered: "This brat is really going to die without being beaten. Don't cook for him at night, let him starve."
Xiao Qian responded immediately and loudly.
Qian felt sorry for her daughter. After wiping away her tears, she said, "Okay, let's stop crying. Mom, can you boil some eggs for you?"
Xiao Qian asked, "Why don't you go to school?"
"I won't go. I'll boil eggs and rice for Man Bao."
Xiao Qian felt a little hurt, but thinking that her sister-in-law had been made to cry this time, it was appropriate to coax her. She nodded and agreed, but Manbao was unwilling and broke away from her mother's arms and said: "No, I want to go to school.
"
Her reason was also very good, "I have to go to the market tomorrow and can't go to the school to attend classes. I have to tell Mr. Zhuang."
Xiao Qian said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'll tell Mr. Zhuang for you."
"No, I said it myself, and today I have to see if Mr. Zhuang's manuscript is finished. I have to bring it back after he's finished."
"Then..." Xiao Qian looked at Qian hesitantly.
When Mrs. Qian saw that her daughter was no longer sad, she touched her little face and said with a smile, "Okay, you can go if you want."
Man Bao turned around and happily went to school with Xiao Qian.
As soon as the two sisters-in-law left, Mrs. Qian stood up from the ground, her face darkened, and she said to the two daughters-in-law and two young sons who were watching: "Go and get the fourth son back for me. I really rebelled against him.
He has the ability to make things happen outside, lose money in gambling, and he has the ability to come back and bully his family members."
The four men obeyed the order and went all over the village to catch Zhou Lang.
As soon as Manbao arrived at the school, she leaned against the window and listened to Mr. Zhuang's class. Today they were talking about "The Analects". Manbao had heard a few sentences before, but she had not memorized them systematically. This time Mr. Zhuang came to class.
This is a big class, and all the children learn "The Analects of Confucius", so they start from the first lesson.
Manbao listened to the whole lesson. However, Mr. Zhuang only taught everyone to recite the scriptures repeatedly in this class and did not explain the meaning of the scriptures.
Man Bao didn't even have a book, so she just memorized it in a daze. She always had a good memory and only read it three or four times before memorizing it, but she didn't know the specific words, let alone their meaning.
Mr. Zhuang still teaches these things back and forth.
Normally, Manbao would have continued to memorize it with great interest, but today she was in a bad mood, a little affected, and couldn't concentrate very well.
She felt that after she had carried it, she slipped off the window sill and sneaked into Mr. Zhuang's yard.
Mr. Zhuang's study is never closed, and I don't know whether it's a habit or a convenience for a child who always sneaks in to clean it for him.
Man Bao walked around the yard and study room, and finally sat on the steps, holding his chin in a daze, actually talking to the system.
"Koko, do you think Fourth Brother hates me?"
The system said: "Host, no one in this world will always be lovable. Even money can be disliked sometimes."
"But I'm not money. I'm the fourth brother's sister. How can he not like me?"
The system was silent for a moment and then said: "In this world, it is normal for fathers to hate their children, mothers to hate their children, and brothers and sisters to hate each other."
"You're talking nonsense. How can there be parents in this world who don't like their children? Don't brothers and sisters need to love and help each other?"
"That's the host's wishful thinking." The system felt that it might be too lonely, so it told the little host this, but it felt that this was also to lay the foundation for his safety and future development. If his host was too naive, then
He will really be extremely worried from now on.
So after searching in the encyclopedia, he found a book titled "Top Ten Evil Fathers in History" and gave it to Man Bao, saying: "Host, I'm borrowing this from you. Borrowing books costs points. From now on, you can
Remember to pay me back the points you earn."
A book suddenly appeared in Man Bao's hand. Her eyes were shining. She had already put aside the harm done to her by her fourth brother, and asked happily, "Is this for me?"
The system emphasized, "This is lent to the host for viewing and must be returned after viewing."
Man Bao was extremely moved and said, "Koko, you are so kind. This is my first book."
The system emphasized again, "Host, you must pay it back after reading it, otherwise a lot of points will be deducted."
Man Bao was very grand. He waved his little hand and said, "Hold on, buying books also costs a lot of money."
System: "...Host, you have no points."
Man Bao had already lowered his head to flip through the book.
The words in the book were replaced with words from this era. Manbao already knew many, many words, and it was written in vernacular, so she read it with gusto, just like reading a storybook.
In fact, this is also a storybook, telling the story of the top ten scumbag dads in history.
