Zhou Lizheng laughed and said, "Old Ma, one child has two acres of land, and two children need to cultivate four acres of land. With your old arms and legs, can you still do it?"
"Hey, you old thing!" Old Ma scolded with a smile.
"That's your Baozhu in the back, right? She's also with her two boys. Why are you letting your mother and the others dig the four acres of land while your grandfather is sleeping at home?"
"Okay, okay, I won't say any more. I won't say any more." Zhou Lizheng laughed and waved his hand to call a truce.
After quoting the price of the books, pens and ink, Zhou Lizheng said, "This price is much cheaper than outside, so you won't lose out if you buy it here. You have to buy two pens, and use wool paper, which is enough for one dollar. You can share a book with two people, and you don't need to worry about the inkstone for now, but you still have to buy a stick of ink."
Old Ma didn't say anything for a long time, and Zhou Lizheng thought he thought it was too expensive.
After all, they are old friends. Zhou Lizheng said, "I have another copy of the Three Character Classic at home. How about I lend it to your two boys?"
"Go away!" Old Ma said disdainfully, "You think this is too expensive? What are you talking about? I'm just worried that the girl can't make any money."
Zhou Lizheng laughed and said, "Don't worry, the girl is much smarter than you, there's no need for you to worry about this."
Old Ma snorted coldly and said, "Two books, two pens, two pieces of paper, two pieces of ink, let's settle the account!"
"Okay!" Zhou Lizheng finished the calculation happily, 2 strings and 4 cents.
After Lao Ma paid the money, Zhou Dagui led the two children in.
Ma Long and Ma Hu are twins, 5 years old this year. They are chubby and very cute.
Master Yi and Xie Yu sat at the head of the study.
Song Yuehua introduced, "Xiaolong, Xiaohu, this is Master Yi, and this is Master Xie. You are new to the academy, and you will be studying in Master Xie's class."
"Master Yi, Master Xie." The two little kids knelt down and bowed in a proper manner.
The two children had not yet begun to learn, and there was nothing to test them on, so Master Yi picked up a red pen and began to write a test on their brows.
Xie Yu handed over two copies of the Three Character Classic. "In the future, you must cultivate your mind and cultivate your character, respect your teachers, study hard, think clearly, and practice diligently."
Ma Long and Ma Hu didn't understand at all, but since it was the teacher who said it, they just nodded.
Song Yuehua took two book bags, put the books, pens, ink and paper into them, and then slung them across the waists of the two children.
Xiaoyu led Ma Long and Ma Hu to the classroom of the small class, "Starting tomorrow, you will come here for class at 1:00 a.m. every day, and you must not be late..."
Before Xiaoyu finished speaking, Ma Hu asked expectantly, "Sister Xiaoyu, Grandpa said that as long as you study, you can eat meat. Have you eaten it?"
Xiaoyu, "..."
Ma Hu added, "My grandfather also said that we can eat candied haws as much as we want!"
How should she respond to these questions?
Looking at the two little ones, they were staring at her with burning eyes.
Xiaoyu said vaguely, "Grandpa Ma is so powerful, he won't scare you."
“Yeah!”
The two little ones clapped and cheered.
Xiaoyu turned her face away silently. It should be okay to say this...
