Chapter 85 It’s delicious
Many classmates came to join in the fun. After all, their fathers and brothers were also serving in the army. But no matter how brave or naughty they were, they did not dare to ask to follow the adults to see the place where they were serving.
So when everyone heard Manbao's idea, they immediately dispersed, and only Manbao, Bai Shanbao and Bai Erlang were left there.
The three children looked at each other, and Bai Erlang stood up, patted his butt and said, "I'm going back too."
Bai Shanbao grabbed him and said, "They don't know the way and are running away. Why are you running too?"
Bai Erlang stiffened his neck and said, "I'm not running away. I just think you're stupid. We need to go to school. How are we going to get to Baima Pass?"
When Manbao heard that he was worried about this, he immediately said, "Don't worry, the teacher will give us a holiday in a few days."
Bai Shanbao also nodded. "My husband has to go home for something. This time we have five days off. Manbao and I have decided that we will spend one day at Baimaquan, one day playing in the reeds by the river, one day in the mountains, one day at my house, and one day at Manbao's house."
The schedule is packed.
Hearing about the holiday, Bai Erlang perked up. He pinched his fingers and said excitedly, "I remember, I remember, there was a five-day holiday last winter, but I just can't remember the time."
Manbao looked down on him and said, "It's the anniversary of Mr. and Mrs.'s death. Mr. wants to go home and celebrate with his son. I've remembered it for a long time. Alas, you have such a bad memory."
She only remembered the event, not the time. Xiao Qian told her when the school was on vacation last year.
Bai Erlang didn't mind her ridicule at all, because he was now thinking about the holiday. He said, "Baimaquan is not fun at all. It's better to go to the county town. I'll take you there to play."
Perhaps because of this shared secret, Bai Erlang began to like the two of them a little better.
Bai Shanbao was a persistent person and said, "No, we have already made the plan and we can't change it. Will you lead the way or not?"
Manbao doubted him, "You don't forget the way, do you?"
"Who, who said I don't remember?" Bai Erlang hurriedly thought about how to get to Baimaquan?
As he thought about it, he felt a little guilty. Seeing Bai Shanbao and Manbao looking at him with suspicion, he immediately pointed in the direction the Laodings had just left and shouted, "Just follow this road straight ahead. You'll get there. Of course I know where it is."
Manbao and Bai Shanbao were satisfied and said, "Okay, then we'll go together."
Bai Erlang didn't really want to go, but he didn't dare to mention it, for fear that the two of them would notice that he didn't know the way and look down on him.
He said depressedly, "What if our three children are taken away by wolves?"
In order to prevent children from running around, adults would scare them from a young age by telling them that there were wolves in the mountains and monsters in the water, and anyone who got close would be carried away.
Even the white landlords are no exception.
Manbao said, "Don't be afraid, I'll let my fifth and sixth brothers protect us."
Manbao even took out a candy from his pocket and gave it to him, "Here, I'll treat you to some candy. You must lead the way for us that day."
Bai Shanbao also took out a piece from her purse that was specially used for snacks and put it in his hand, "I'll treat you to some snacks too."
Bai Erlang looked at the thing in his hand and swallowed.
Forget about Bai Shanbao's snacks, he also has what he has, but Manbao's candy...
Bai Erlang decided to eat first, so he ate and naturally agreed.
Manbao and Bai Shanbao felt that everything was fine, so they held hands and went back, well, back to school!
Mr. Zhuang looked at a group of children running towards him from a distance. He looked into the classroom and found that his most troublesome and proud disciples were not there, so he continued to stand at the door and wait.
Manbao and Bai Shanbao came from a distance holding hands. When they saw the gentleman, they immediately ran towards him happily, not feeling guilty about their plan at all.
Seeing the two children's happy faces, Mr. Zhuang couldn't help but feel a little happy too, but he still asked with a stern face, "Where is Bai Cheng? Did you bully him?"
Manbao said: "I am friends with him now, but I don't bully him."
She even said confidently: "I even gave him candy."
Bai Shanbao pointed to the back and said, "He's eating candy in the back."
Mr. Zhuang patted their heads and let them in.
Bai Erlang came back slowly. Mr. Zhuang frowned when he saw how unenthusiastic he was, but he didn't scold him after all. He started the class after everyone arrived.
Mr. Zhuang had only told Manbao and Bai Shanbao that he was going to take a vacation. Of course, he didn't tell them on purpose, but he accidentally let it slip when he was giving them special treatment.
The school was not notified until the day before the holiday, but of course, the students' parents knew about it long ago.
So after Mr. Zhuang's announcement, the students cheered and there was laughter in the classroom. Obviously, no matter what era, having a holiday is something that makes students very happy.
Mr. Zhuang smiled as he collected the books. He then led his two favorite students to the next room. He found a thin booklet on his desk and handed it to them, saying, "These are the short stories I've translated recently. You should read them for the next five days and memorize them by heart. When I return, I'll ask you what you've read."
Mr. Zhuang's private lessons were mostly filled with interesting stories, covering a wide variety of topics. A few days later, I saw Manbao reading a book on medicine. He even enthusiastically took the two children for a walk in the mountains after school, explaining which plants could stop bleeding, which could invigorate blood circulation, and which could calm the nerves...
Bai Shanbao took the booklet and confidently told Mr. Zhuang that they would study it carefully.
Mr. Zhuang was satisfied and stroked his beard before letting them go and play.
He's going home early tomorrow morning, so he needs to pack some things out now.
Bai Shanbao took the book and ran out with Manbao. They found a soft patch of grass to sit down and opened the book to read together.
The two children know quite a few words. Even though they can’t write them very well, they have no problem recognizing words. What they like to read most is storybooks.
Manbao has finished reading the stories of the top ten bad dads and also provided them to Bai Shanbao to read.
What they love most is listening to Mr. Zhuang telling stories, so they were enjoying the story at this time, but this did not affect their plan to go to Baimaquan Town the next day.
Early in the morning, Manbao sneaked into the kitchen and asked Xiao Qianshi to make her some pancakes so that she could go out and play with Bai Shanbao.
Xiao Qian was also afraid that her younger sister would be wronged in the Bai family, so she baked a big pancake for her.
Manbao took the pancake and went to find his fifth and sixth brothers.
Zhou Wulang didn't know what she was going to do, but he followed her anyway.
There are five days off, and my sister might come up with some good ideas to make money.
When Manbao walked to the front of the school, Bai Shanbao was already waiting there, carrying a small bag and dragging Bai Erlang with him.
Seeing Manbao, Bai Erlang looked miserable, but Bai Shanbao ran up to him excitedly and said, "We were here a long time ago, you are so slow."
Manbao offered his big pancake and said, "I'm waiting for my sister-in-law to make some pancakes. Come, I'll treat you guys."
Bai Shanbao also put down his small bag and opened it to show her what he had brought from the kitchen. "I also brought a lot of food, I'll treat you to some too."
Zhou Wulang and Zhou Liulang looked at the cakes, buns, and snacks and swallowed their saliva together. It turned out that they were not going there to make money. However, they liked them very much.
