Chapter 64 You are also wrong (reward for the book friend "Si Qing Lan Yu")
Manbao had forgotten the quarrel yesterday, but she remembered it again when she saw the pastries. However, she felt that she was very magnanimous. Koko said that smart and capable people must have a big heart and know how to tolerate other people's mistakes.
So she generously accepted Shanbao's kindness, opened the paper bag, took out a piece of dessert and ate it with a satisfied expression on her face.
She also discussed with him, "It tastes better than the one sent by Bai Erlang's housekeeper last time."
"This is my favorite snack. The cook made it last night. If you like it, I'll take you home to eat after school." Bai Shanbao said flatteringly, "Will you still come to my house to read?"
Manbao thought about it and still wanted to see what a lot of books looked like, so he nodded and said generously: "Okay, I forgive you, we are still friends."
Seeing Manbao brought up this topic, although Bai Shanbao was still a little embarrassed, he sincerely apologized to Manbao and said that what she said yesterday was right.
Even though they are children, they still need to have their own money.
Only the money he earned could give him complete independence. Although his mother would still say that all the money in the family belonged to him, he knew that he could not do whatever he wanted.
But it’s different when you earn your own money.
However, Bai Shanbao did not admit all the mistakes. He said that Manbao was not good either, because the quarrel was not his fault alone. Even if he made more mistakes, she was also wrong.
Although Manbao didn't think he was wrong, he still said sorry to him reluctantly after seeing him apologize.
The system saw it and said to her in her mind: "Host, Bai Shan is right. You are also wrong about the quarrel."
Manbao was really unhappy about this and asked, "How did I do something wrong?"
The system asked her, "Yesterday, Big Head and Second Head were fighting over the Centella asiatica to dry, and then they started arguing. Who do you think was at fault?"
"Both of them are at fault."
"It was clearly Big Head who snatched the Centella asiatica from Second Head. Why do you think Second Head was also at fault?"
"Big Head didn't mean any harm. He just thought Second Head was drying too slowly, so he helped."
"Bai Shan has no ill intentions. He simply has a different opinion from you. You are all allowed to express different opinions. Not only in the current world, but even in the future, humans will always have different views on the same thing due to differences in personality, education, and cognition. No one in this world has completely consistent views on the same thing." The system said, "So differences are reasonable. What you should seek is common ground. Most importantly, you can debate, but you shouldn't argue."
The system said: "Since you've started arguing, both of you are at fault. He sincerely admits his mistake, but you, the host, are not sincere."
Manbao knew that sometimes she couldn't quite understand what Koko said, but it all made sense, so she would write down what she said and think about it over and over again, and she would always be convinced.
But this time she understood without even thinking, and then she was truly ashamed. She reached out and held Bai Shanbao's hand, and apologized sincerely once again, "It was my fault yesterday, too. I'm sorry."
Bai Shanbao, who was already ashamed and guilty, felt even more embarrassed when he heard this. He also held her hand and said, "Manbao, you are so kind. I shouldn't have said that about you. In fact, most of the fault is mine. I should be the one to say sorry."
When Mr. Zhuang came in with the book, he saw two children in the first row holding hands and saying sorry. After a pause, he walked up to the podium and glanced at them.
The two children immediately sat down and opened their textbooks.
Mr. Zhuang was extremely relieved. He had originally planned to give the two children a lesson if they continued to make trouble today. However, the two children were fine before he could even start the lesson.
Mr. Zhuang did not feel that he had lost his place. He just felt that the two children had excellent character and good understanding, so he knew he was wrong.
Mr. Zhuang's class went particularly smoothly today. He told the whole class some stories about the tolerance and generosity of ancient sages.
The other students just listened to it as a story, but Manbao and Bai Shanbao did not. They did not feel that the teacher was telling it specifically for them.
I just feel that they are far from being saints. Look, the ancients were more magnanimous than them, so of course their descendants should be even more powerful than their predecessors.
Isn’t there a saying that goes “The waves behind push the waves in front”?
Mr. Zhuang didn't know that one of his two disciples' many goals was to surpass the saints and become the new generation of super saints. Seeing their faces full of instruction, he nodded with satisfaction.
Manbao is going to visit the Bai family, and Datou, her little follower and temporary caretaker, will of course go along.
Zhou Erlang had already made a small bookcase for Manbao. It was really small and could only hold two or three books and a set of pens, ink, paper and inkstone. It was very easy for Manbao to carry it.
Manbao put his things into the small bookcase, and went to Bai's house with Bai Shanbao happily.
Liu guessed that her grandson would bring the young lady from the Zhou family back today, so she walked back and forth at the door early in the morning, using the excuse of relaxing and waiting.
Then, turning around, she saw two little kids walking towards her with book boxes on their backs. They were chasing and playing with each other as they walked, and behind them were an older child and their servants.
Liu's anxious heart calmed down, and she smiled as she watched the two children gradually approaching.
Bai Shanbao trotted over holding Manbao's hand, tilting his head and introducing his friend to her, "Grandma, this is Manbao. Her name is Zhou Man, and she's my deskmate."
Manbao tilted his little head back and called out, "Hello, Grandma Bai."
Mrs. Liu smiled and reached out to hold Manbao's hand, her face full of smiles. "My maiden name is Liu, from now on you can call me Grandma Liu. Guests are welcome to come in."
There are not so many exquisite things to do in a country house, but Liu was used to living in a big family after all, so she took Manbao to the backyard of the Bai family to pay a visit to Old Lady Bai and Mrs. Bai, and then led them back to the guest house.
When Datou entered the Bai family’s house for the first time, he was a little hesitant when he saw such a big house, and he didn’t even dare to take big steps.
Manbao was also surprised, but she was young and her eyes were full of curiosity. She looked at it openly and exclaimed to Bai Shanbao, "The Bai family is really big."
Bai Shanbao said, "My house used to be even bigger than this one."
"Then how many people would it take to live in your family?"
Bai Shanbao scratched his head and said, "There are only three people in my family."
Liu interrupted their conversation with a smile and led them into the living room for some snacks.
She stuffed a piece into Manbao's hand and also gave a piece to Datou, asking him to eat together.
Bai Shanbao took the snack from Manbao's hand, picked out another one for her, and encouraged her, "This one is even more delicious. Eat it quickly. After you finish eating, we'll go to the study to read."
Manbao liked snacks very much, but she was more interested in books, so she finished the snacks quickly, jumped off the high stool, said goodbye to Liu obediently, and went to the study.
