Chapter 1359 Persuasion
As soon as there was any movement in the yard, the three houses on the main compound woke up, and soon Xiao Qian and Feng opened the door and came out.
Since they were together, it was naturally not Manbao's turn to boil water.
A young boy and girl were standing in the yard. When they met everyone's knowing gaze, they were instantly extremely embarrassed and both of them blushed.
Xiao Qianshi said, "Manbao, please ask Master Shan to go sit in the room first. I will boil some water for you."
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief. Manbao responded and took Bai Shan to the courtyard next door.
Bai Shan's face was flushed. He actually had no other intentions. He just wanted to see Manbao. Now that he had seen him and talked about the most important thing, he didn't know what to say.
Bai Shan scratched her head, looked at her bookshelf, and pulled out a book at random and said, "I'm leaving?"
Manbao blushed and nodded, waving his hand and saying, "Let's go."
Bai Shan slipped away with a red face under the meaningful gazes of the adults in the Zhou family. Manbao also went to get hot water to wash her face with a red face. She decided not to see Bai Shan today.
Bai Shan was too embarrassed to see Manbao again, at least not today.
So everyone played at home.
Bai Erlang, who had been waiting for them at home, had no one to come to the door, so he had to go to the next door to find Bai Shan, "What are you doing at home?"
Bai Shan raised the book in his hand and said, "Read."
Bai Erlang glanced at the book in his hand, then couldn't help but take another look. After confirming, he asked, "Isn't this book held upside down? Are you trying to learn how to read the words upside down?"
He was confused. "What's the point of learning this?"
Bai Shan turned the book back with an expressionless face, closed it and put it aside, and asked, "What's the matter so early in the morning?"
Bai Erlang looked up at the sun in the sky and said, "It's getting late, shouldn't we go find Manbao and wish him a happy new year?"
Bai Shan refused, "Let's not go today, let's go tomorrow."
Bai Erlang was surprised, "You're not going?"
Bai Shan coughed lightly and said, "It's better not to go out on New Year's Day."
Shirojiro:......
Bai Shan looked away a little embarrassedly and changed the subject, "Are you going to your uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow?"
"No, this year only my father and mother will go," Bai Erlang whispered, "My aunt wants to marry my cousin to my brother, but my brother doesn't agree. They want to marry my cousin to me, so my brother and I have to stay away this year."
Bai Shan understood and nodded, "Then let's go to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow."
But this makes today so boring.
The two looked at each other, and neither of them could find anything to do. They didn't want to read or write a book...
Bai Erlang frowned and asked Bai Shan, "Why do we have to go to Manbao to wish him a happy new year tomorrow? Today is such a good day, there will be a lot of family members tomorrow..."
The two of them are very idle, but Manbao is very busy.
She first found her eldest brother, sat beside him and said, "Brother, I have told Lixue (Santou) that I want to take him to the capital to study. What do you think?"
Zhou Dalang was stunned and asked, "Three heads?"
Manbao nodded.
He looked at Manbao doubtfully, "Can Santou study well? He's very naughty and can't sit still for a long time."
"I've seen his homework, and it's much better than when Li Zhong and Li Wei were studying," Man Bao said. "The village school is no longer suitable for him. Even if he doesn't go to the capital, he should go to the county town to study."
She said, "Since you are leaving home to study, why not go to a better place? There are many more teachers and books in the capital than in the county. There are also more intelligent people there. He will meet intelligent people and become more and more intelligent himself."
Zhou Dalang: Is that so?
Zhou Dalang has three children. The eldest, Zhou Lizhong, stayed in Beijing to look after the shop this year and has not returned. He will probably be back at the end of the year.
Now that Daya is married and Santou is gone, he really has no children by his side.
However, Zhou Dalang only hesitated for a moment before nodding, "Alright, I need to tell your sister-in-law about this."
Anyway, the couple are still young and their parents are still alive, so they don’t need children to be around to take care of them.
Manbao said, "Sister-in-law already knows, as long as brother agrees, it will be fine."
Zhou Dalang: "...When did your sister-in-law find out? How come I don't know?"
Manbao smiled and bumped his eldest brother's shoulder. "Isn't it that big brother didn't agree, so it was hard for sister-in-law to tell you? Now that big brother has agreed, sister-in-law will tell you tonight."
Zhou Dalang: ...
After looking for Zhou Dalang, Manbao turned around and went to find Zhou Erlang, and whispered to him, "Second brother, San Ya said she doesn't want to study anymore."
Zhou Erlang didn't believe it. "Impossible. Last time, her mother asked her to go home and learn cooking from your sister-in-law. She also said that she wanted to go to the county town to study in the future."
Zhou Erlang had a headache. San Ya used to be very well behaved but a little timid. However, every time Er Ya came back, she would secretly encourage her. Then, she became more and more interested in reading and became smarter and tougher.
This is a good thing, but it can be a bad thing if it is too strong.
Manbao said: "It's true, so I want to take her with me and teach her medical skills."
Zhou Erlang was stunned and asked, "Learn medicine? Can she learn it?"
"Why not? She's smarter than Santou, and better at studying than Santou. She'll definitely be able to learn it."
Zhou Erlang nodded without thinking and said, "Okay, take her with you."
Even Zhou Erlang agreed, let alone Feng.
She was the one who wanted her daughter to learn a skill the most. Cooking and accounting were both good, but it would be even better if she could learn medicine from her sister-in-law.
Feng happily stuffed a few more copper coins into San Ya's red envelope.
Then Manbao went to find Zhou Sanlang.
When Zhou Sanlang heard that Santou and Sanya were going to the capital, he nodded without thinking and agreed to let Sitou go too.
Old Zhou and Mrs. Qian were the last to know.
Manbao informed them directly in one sentence, "Big brother, second brother and third brother have all agreed."
Old Zhou: ...
He was the first to react and asked, "Who pays for their expenses?"
Manbao smiled and said, "Dad, the money I spend outside is also paid by the public, so of course it is paid by the public."
Although Manbao has a lot of money and doesn't seem to need any money from his family, the expenses they spent on the road and the house they rented in the capital were all shared by Zhou Wulang, the Bai family and the other three families, using the money given by Old Zhou.
After they arrived in the capital, the money they gave to Yirong for cooking every month was paid by Zhou Wulang, not to mention the clothes and shoes that Manbao wore, which were all made by Erya.
Of course, the money was also paid by Zhou Wulang.
All the expenses of their family in the capital were paid from the public fund, and Erya would record them when she kept accounts.
Old Zhou: ...
Qian secretly calculated the cost in her heart and said to Old Zhou, "It's okay. The shop in the capital should be able to afford it."
Therefore, the money earned from the shops in the capital would basically be spent by the public, and it would be impossible to give it to the family.
