The three of them stood in a row in front of Mr. Zhuang.
Mr. Zhuang looked at the three of them and touched their beards, and said: "You are all used to copying books and so on. I think I will change the punishment today. After you have recovered from your 'disease' in two days, just take the broom."
Go out and sweep the streets, just a hundred feet in front and back of our alley and the street outside, until your end-of-year exam results come out and you return home."
The three of them opened their mouths in shock.
Mr. Zhuang said: "While sweeping, think about where you went wrong. If something like this happens again next time, why don't you hit people at all times?"
Man Bao asked guiltily, "Then what if we still beat people?"
Mr. Zhuang looked at them with a deep look and said, "Do you think the entire Kangxue Street is big enough? If not, then sweep the Huanxi Street as well."
The three of them trembled, and immediately lowered their heads and said in unison: "Sir, we know we were wrong, and we must reflect on it."
Mr. Zhuang then snorted and asked Zhou Lang to go to the street to pick out three better brooms for them.
Zhou Lang, who was enjoying watching the excitement, did not expect that he would have to spend money in the end. He took a careful look at Mr. Zhuang and said, "Mr. Zhuang, is that what Mr. Bai is going to do?"
Mr. Zhuang said nonchalantly: "Bai Ning is just a concubine. He is young and can find out what happened in the yard just by asking about it. If Bai Yu knew about Bai Ning's design of Manbao, he would still have the nerve to come here...
"
His eyes fell on the faces of Bai Shan and Bai Erlang, and he said calmly: "Then you two should carefully consider whether these relatives should continue to interact with each other."
Man Bao scratched his head and asked, "Is Bai Ning a bastard?"
Mr. Zhuang glanced at her and said, "You dare to hit someone before you even know their identity. From today on, you will also be responsible for the cleaning work at home."
Man Bao and the others:...
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang both turned to look at Man Bao.
Man Bao looked back innocently, and after a while, she could only admit defeat and lower her head, ashamed.
When Zhou Lang heard this, he immediately went out to buy brooms for them. He was very happy.
The bruises on their bodies were not worth mentioning, so as soon as the door was closed, Mr. Zhuang picked up their homework again.
After the break, they went to fetch water and started scrubbing and washing. They also had to clean the yard, prune flowers and trees, water and pull weeds and so on.
Not only Zhou Lang, but also Daji suddenly felt at ease. The two simply occupied a chair each and sat in the warm sun to bask in the sun.
The three of them were extremely busy. They had to study, go to class, do homework, and clean the whole house. Even though they were not going to school, they were much busier than usual.
Moreover, they were still injured. The further back they went, the more Bai Shan and Bai Erlang stared at Man Bao.
What can Manbao do?
Does she feel that she has been wronged too?
She just asked a question that none of the three of them knew.
They were not able to rest until the sun set.
The three of them dragged a small stool and sat in the yard to soak up the last bit of the sunset. They looked at the sunset on the horizon sadly and said, "What will we do in two days?"
"Yes," Bai Shan counted on his fingers: "I have to go to school, sweep the streets, and clean my home."
Bai Erlang added: "I still have homework."
Bai Shan: "I can do my homework well in school."
Man Bao also said: "My homework can also be completed after class."
Bai Erlang glared at the two of them.
After all, he was the youngest junior brother. Man Bao and Bai Shan felt that they still cared for him, so they comforted him and said, "It's okay. We'll help you when you get back from the work."
Bai Erlang said: "There is still time to reflect!"
According to my husband's habit, after they have been punished, they will definitely be asked what they have reflected on, and then there will be another article.
Man Bao thought for a moment and said, "Don't be afraid. Your end-of-year exam will be punished. It's still early. Let's think about it slowly."
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang didn't feel comforted at all.
Zhou Lang listened with great joy. Zhou Lijun found that she didn't feel sorry for her sister-in-law anymore. She felt that this was not good, so she took the initiative to say: "Sister-in-law, leave it to me to water the flowers and plants. I will help you."
You take good care of them."
The three of them agreed happily, and then turned to look at Zhou Lang and Daji who were sitting beside them.
Daji closed his eyes to rest his mind, and Zhou Lang said: "This is what your husband is punishing you for. The purpose is to make you reflect. I can't help you."
The three of them looked away in disappointment, and then glanced at Aunt Rong who was making dim sum molds.
Aunt Rong immediately said: "Master, Master Tang, Miss Man, I don't dare to help either."
Mr. Zhuang in the study coughed twice, and the three of them immediately did not dare to look around. The small courtyard became quiet, and everyone quietly basked in the sunset and admired the sunset.
At this time, the White Mansion next door was bustling with activity.
In the morning, after Bai Yu left the small courtyard next door, he went to the upper office first. It wasn't until he returned home from the lower office in the afternoon that he had time to investigate Bai Ning's affairs.
He didn't alert Bai Ning, and directly questioned the boy beside him and the two big girls waiting in the courtyard.
After asking separately for a long time, Bai Yu finally found out what happened on the day of the Winter Solstice Banquet, and then Bai Yu was furious to death.
He didn't expect that it would happen so early, and that it would be such a dirty trick in the back house. He was so angry that he ran to Bai Ning's bed and wanted to teach him a lesson, but when he saw that his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, he couldn't do anything, so he finally ran to the main courtyard.
I had a quarrel with Mr. Duan.
This incident happened in the backyard, so it is naturally Duan's responsibility.
So the couple had a big quarrel, which was not a lively affair.
Unfortunately, the courtyard where they lived was separated by a large garden, so no one in the courtyard knew anything about it. After everyone had eaten, they listened to Mr. Zhuang tell two stories, and then everyone went to wash up and get ready for bed.
Little did he know that Bai Ning next door was grounded after the couple in charge had an argument. He was grounded for half a month. When he came out, he could take the year-end exam directly.
Mr. Zhuang and the others waited for two days. When they saw that no one from the Baifu next door came to the door and everything was calm, they knew that the matter was over. So he waved his hand and the three disciples went out to sweep the floor with brooms.
Every day after returning from school, they would go out to clean the streets.
After a day of walking around and doing business, the street was the dirtiest after school. The three of them went out with only brooms on the first day. In the end, they found that the piles of garbage could not be swept away, so they added shovels the next day.
But after adding a shovel, I found that the place where the garbage was to be taken out was far away. On the third day, a tattered trolley rolled out from nowhere.
The collected garbage was emptied into the car, and then pushed to another place where it fell. People all over the street gathered around to watch the three distinguished young masters and ladies doing these menial tasks, and they were very happy.
