Chapter 1397: Sorting Out (October Monthly Ticket Plus 2)
"Aunt, are you out?"
Manbao stood at the door and asked curiously, "How much did you buy?"
Zhou Lizhong (Big Head) said, "Not many. I bought them all at the flea market. The wood used is ordinary, so it's not expensive."
Manbao asked, "That place did you find?"
"Fifth Uncle took us there." Zhou Lizhong moved a chair inside and paused briefly in front of Manbao. "Aunt, are you really okay?"
Manbao shook his head. "It's okay. Why do you ask?"
Zhou Lizhong looked at Manbao's face and shook his head slowly after a while, "It's okay."
Erya and Sanya personally carried their precious desk in, with Santou standing in the middle to help. Everyone was surprised to see Manbao when they entered the backyard. Santou spoke quickly, "Auntie, it's only been a few hours since we last saw each other. How come you look so haggard?"
Bai Shan and others who came in from outside carrying things were also stunned.
Manbao was also shocked when he saw them carrying so many bags. "How much stuff did you buy?"
Bai Shan and others: "What's wrong with you?"
Manbao sat in front of the bronze mirror and looked closely. Only then did he realize that her face looked a little haggard and there was a hint of blue under her eyes.
Bai Shan was a little worried. "Weren't you fine when you left home this morning? Did something happen again?"
Manbao shook his head sadly and sighed, "So this is what it feels like to not be able to learn. I will never nag Bai Er again."
Bai Jilang on the side: ...
He said angrily: "What does this have to do with me?"
Manbao sighed and said, "I've just learned a new medical skill today, but I can't learn it no matter how hard I try. I've been thinking about it since this morning and I've only just gotten a little bit of it. It's so difficult."
This tone is so familiar. Bai Erlang always says this when he can't remember the new lessons he has learned or doesn't understand them.
Bai Erlang looked at Manbao hesitantly, suspecting she was mocking him. But seeing that she was indeed dejected, he began to believe her a little and hummed, "Now you understand my pain, right?"
Manbao nodded, understanding, and therefore very painful.
Bai Jilang coughed lightly and asked, "What disease is so difficult to treat?"
Manbao didn't answer him. He stuffed the notebook on the table into Bai Shan's arms and said, "Take a look at it and come up with a mysterious recipe for me. It's okay if you don't understand it. I think what Keke said is right. You can find something to replace nouns and the like. As long as you can distinguish them, it's fine."
Bai Erlang, who was standing by, coughed twice and asked, "Who is it?"
Bai Shan knocked his head and said, "You are smart now. Didn't you notice that she was coughing?"
After saying that, he left with the book.
Bai Erlang followed him out of the house and complained, "Who are you trying to fool? This cough is obviously a human. Are you hiding something from me again?"
Probably knowing that Manbao was tired, Bai Erlang went to pester Bai Shan.
Manbao looked at himself in the bronze mirror, rubbed his face, and ran off to watch the fun and clear his mind.
Zhou Wulang and his friends bought a lot of things and placed two beds in the two main rooms in the front yard. When placed side by side, the beds became very wide.
There is no problem with five or six people lying in one room.
Because it was cold in the capital, Zhou Wulang also bought three quilts and various small items, such as wooden basins, wooden barrels, and racks.
Knowing that Lixue and Ligu were going to study, they also bought three desks, one for Erya and the others' room, and the other two for the study, to be placed directly behind Baishan and Manbao.
Bai Erlang was unhappy when he saw this. Wouldn't he be the only one left on the other side?
Originally, Bai Shan and Man Bao were sitting on one side, and he would be unhappy if he was placed on the other side. How could it be possible for the four of them to be there now?
Moreover, their desks were so big, they were desks for two people to sit on, unlike theirs which was a small desk for one person to sit on, so he expressed his objection.
He wanted to move his desk out and sit with Zhou Lixue and his brother.
He used to get along well with Santou in the village. They had become a little unfamiliar after being away for two years, but after spending ten days together, they had formed a deep friendship, so he wanted to sit with Santou.
Zhou Lixue winked at him and didn't want to sit behind Xiaogu and Bai Shan. He felt that it would be too stressful.
Mr. Zhuang was standing at the door of the study, watching. Hearing them arguing and unable to settle down, he said, "Let's renovate this study."
Then he stood at the door and directed Bai Erlang and others to move the tables and chairs out, take down the books on the bookshelf, and move the bookshelf to the tea room on the right.
It was originally a place dedicated to drinking tea. There was a wooden couch with a low table on it, and it was right next to a window. When Mr. Zhuang was tired of reading, he liked to lean on the couch to drink tea and take a nap.
When Bai Shan and the others went out, Xiang Mingxue was usually the one to accompany him here to drink tea and chat.
After all, although the yard is nice, it is very cold in cold weather, so it is more comfortable to be indoors.
Zhou Wulang and his friends rolled up their sleeves to help. The bookshelves were originally placed around the wall, making the room look more spacious.
At this moment, he removed the curtain that separated the tea room from the study space, and directly moved the bookshelf against the left wall over, using it as a screen to separate the two sides, leaving only one passage in and out.
Then arrange the desks up and down against the left wall in the shape of a classroom.
Mr. Zhuang specially ordered and placed the two long desks in the first two rows, Bai Shan and Manbao's desks were placed side by side in the third row, and Bai Erlang's small square table was placed at the back.
Before Bai Erlang could be happy, Mr. Zhuang said to him, "You and Lixue will sit in the first row, and Ligu and Liru (Sanya) will sit in the second row."
Not to mention the people in the study, even Bai Shan, who had just put down his medical book and ran over, couldn't help but lower his head and hold back his laughter. He said to Bai Erlang, who was shocked, "This is called stealing a chicken but losing the rice."
Bai Erlang could only move his things to the second desk slowly with a bitter face. He didn't want to sit under the teacher's nose.
Zhou Lixue didn't want to do it either, but after looking around, he decided to obey.
Bai Erlang slowly moved his things while grumbling in protest, "Si Tou and San Ya are younger than us, why don't they sit in the first row?"
Mr. Zhuang said quietly, "If Li Ru wants to learn medicine from Man Bao, he should sit closer to him."
He raised his eyelids, glanced at him, and said, "Besides, you and Bai Shanmanbao often fight, so it's just right to separate you."
He just didn't believe that the three of them could still quarrel with Zhou Ligu and Zhou Liru between them?
It turns out that if they really want to, they can do it even across a room.
Just after dinner, Bai Shan and Bai Erlang started arguing in the corridor. Man Bao was very sleepy at the moment. She still had to think about what to say when she went to the palace to see the prince tomorrow. She opened the window and said to the two of them, "If you quarrel again, I will give you a coptis chinensis."
Bai Shan and Bai Jilang: ...
Satisfied to see they were intimidated, Manbao closed the window and muttered, "Hmph, you can't recognize gold and jade. Coptis chinensis is good for reducing internal heat!"
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang looked at each other, snorted at each other, and turned back to the house.
Bai Erlang was sleeping, while Bai Shan went to think of a prescription.
