Chapter 435 Different
Manbao is different from everyone else in the world. Koko came to her when she was still a young child.
Xiao Qian and Qian were the people closest to her, and Xiao Qian was the person she spent the most time with, but none of them could compare to Koko.
Because it is always with Manbao.
No matter what its original purpose was, Manbao has been able to learn a lot of things from it since he was a child.
So her brain, or more precisely, her thoughts, are somewhat different from those of everyone else at the moment.
Because she not only received education from the Zhou family and Mr. Zhuang, and received information from the people she came into contact with, but she also received various information from Keke and the encyclopedia behind Keke.
Even after the forum was opened, she could still learn about the views of humans, non-humans and other intelligent creatures in various worlds through the forum.
She was too young to think too much.
She just read the comments in the forum and learned that most of the shapes in the universe are round spheres that spin around, and humans and everything else live on the surface of the sphere. The reason they don't fall down is because of something called planetary gravity.
Even the gravity of each planet is different.
But Mr. Zhuang doesn’t know this, Bai Shanbao doesn’t know either, and no one in the world knows this.
But Manbao himself did not realize this.
She just had some questions when she learned the knowledge, and after thinking about it, she had some words. If Mr. Zhuang hadn't brought up this topic today, she might never have thought of what she just said.
Manbao looked confused, and Mr. Zhuang grabbed her and almost cried out loud. He didn't know why he wanted to cry, he was just excited.
Oh my God, this is actually his disciple!
Seeing tears in Mr. Zhuang's eyes, Manbao and Bai Shanbao and Bai Erlang were frightened and held him, not daring to move.
Mr. Bai was also startled and asked quickly, "Mr. Zhuang, what's wrong with you?"
Mr. Zhuang shook his hand to indicate that he was fine.
But Manbao looked nervous and asked Bai Shanbao in a low voice, "Did I say something wrong?"
"No," Bai Shanbao glanced at him and whispered, then replied in the same low voice, "I think the master is happy."
"Yes, sir, I'm very happy." Mr. Zhuang couldn't help but laugh out loud three hundred times. But this wasn't the most important thing right now. The most important thing was, "I have decided. Manbao, Shanbao, and Erlang, your classes will have to be accelerated. You should read more books and learn more knowledge. Perhaps before long, you will be able to teach me in return."
Mr. Zhuang announced this "bad news" with a serious face. Manbao and Bai Shanbao opened their mouths wide. They seemed to want to go to Yizhou...
Bai Shanbao said weakly, "But sir, we are still in charge of the farm..."
"You don't have to work in the fields yourself. Don't you have a village head?" Mr. Zhuang said, "If you need anything in the future, just tell him. You've earned so much money, it's just right to save it. If there's any need in the future, just hire someone. You don't have to work in the fields anymore. You should study harder."
The three children slumped their shoulders together. They had joined in the fun and went to work in the fields. In fact, they were no longer so fond of doing farm work. But after what Mr. Zhuang said, they wanted to work in the fields again. What should they do?
Mr. Zhuang wiped his tears and apologized to Mr. Bai for his gaffe. Then he said to the three children, "Although Manbao has solved my doubts, the third question still exists. You don't have to think about what doctrines you want to learn. You can learn all of them or choose to learn them. But you have to think about what kind of person you want to be."
Mr. Zhuang said, "You'll have to think about this question for the rest of your life."
Mr. Zhuang waved his hand, full of ambition. "Okay, you guys go back now. Come to the school early tomorrow. I will prepare your lessons well. We won't have a holiday for Dragon Boat Festival this year."
The three of them didn't expect that they wouldn't even get to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival, and they all turned around and left with pouts.
They came with their account books, then received a second question that might take them years to solve, and left with another question that would take them a lifetime. If they had known...
The three of them thought at the same time that if they had known earlier they would not have come.
Returning to the room where the silver was kept, the three of them sighed in unison.
Manbao said listlessly, "I've thought it through. I've earned so much money, and on the Dragon Boat Festival, I'm going to take my nephews and nieces to the city to play. I'm going to treat them to a big meal, and I'm also going to buy beautiful gold bracelets for my mother and sister-in-law."
Bai Shanbao also sighed and sat down on the ground. "My grandmother isn't home, so I've made up my mind. I'm going to Luojiang with Daji to watch the fun. I heard there will be people taking speedboat rides on the river, which is really fun."
Bai Erlang shouted in grief and anger, "You said that if you made money, you could go to Yizhou. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, you can have three days off, go one day and come back the next, and you can spend the whole day in Yizhou!"
Man Bao said weakly, "But it's not Mid-Autumn Festival yet."
"There's no holiday even for the Dragon Boat Festival, let alone the Mid-Autumn Festival." Bai Erlang was not stupid, he knew it as soon as he thought about it, so he was not too keen on dividing the money.
Manbao sighed, and Bai Shanbao sighed as well. They sat on either side of the silver pile, hammering away at the ingots. After they had calmed down a bit, they said, "Can't we just stop studying?"
Bai Erlang wanted to, but Manbao didn't want to at all. She said, "Although playing is important, studying is more important. I like reading."
Bai Shanbao thought about it seriously and found that Bai Erlang also liked reading now, so they both looked at Bai Erlang.
Bai Erlang pouted and said, "I want to, but is it possible?"
They both shook their heads.
Bai Erlang then sat down beside them and said, "What else is there to discuss? Let's divide the money."
Bai Shanbao pulled out an abacus from the side and said, "Give my family the wheat money and grain first. There's still... 1,488 taels left. Shall we split it equally?"
Manbao also did the math and said, "It's hard to cut the silver, so leave eighteen taels for the public, and divide the rest equally."
Bai Shanbao nodded: "Okay."
Bai Erlang would have no objection either.
Everyone counted out their own silver, and the remaining copper coins and the eighteen taels were handed over to the head of Baizhuang to be managed, separate from the accounts of the Bai family.
Manbao got 490 taels of silver. Maybe because it was a large amount of silver, she was not too excited. In addition, she had a premonition that she would have to work all year round, which made her even less excited.
However, when he put the money into the borrowed backpack, Manbao felt a little happier. He even took the time to ask Bai Erlang about it. "Are you going to take the money home too? Will your mother keep it for you?"
But she knew that Bai Erlang's big money had always been kept by his mother.
