"You have seen the books in the bookstore, but Manbao is really amazing. You haven't seen their farm. I went back to my parents' house and took a shortcut to that area. Guess what?"

"What's wrong?"

"Oh, there are chickens all over that field, and there are geese in the big canal. There must be hundreds or so of chickens. If they all lay eggs, what else would they be if they weren't golden pimples?"

"It's not just chickens. If you think about the food harvested this summer and autumn, Manbao will have a share of it. The land in that small village is obviously not very fertile, so how come the food grown in it is better than ours?"

Everyone became more and more envious as they talked about it, and they no longer worried about how the old Zhou family could afford to send their children to school. Compared with studying, they felt that the harvest from the fields was more attractive.

So everyone started discussing about the little village, "I see that the winter wheat they grow is pretty good. They can harvest a batch after spring, and the chickens are about to lay eggs. If one chicken lays one egg, then there will be hundreds of them in a day."

Egg, oh, how much money do you have to make?"

They can't figure it out anyway.

Mr. Zhuang put the children of Lao Zhou's family alone on one side of the classroom and said, "Your progress is different from other children. I will test you first and then decide how to teach you."

He knew that Man Bao had been teaching his family to read, and sometimes she would ask him questions that she couldn't answer, but he didn't know their specific progress.

When it came time to take the exam, Mr. Zhuang was surprised to find that they had basically mastered "The Thousand-Character Classic" and "The Analects of Confucius". However, perhaps Manbao's knowledge was limited, and they had only mastered the most basic ones.

But once you have the basics, it will be much easier to learn.

But the handwriting of Lao Zhou's children is really ugly.

Knowing that they bought a lot of paper, Mr. Zhuang was not polite and assigned a lot of calligraphy homework every day.

He carried Santou, Sanya and Sitou to the other side to study with the new group of children.

Although they can read "The Thousand-Character Essay", they can only recognize it when they read it and compare it with the textbook. Once the textbook is taken away, or if they are pointed to a single character and asked to recognize it, they will not be able to recognize it.

So, they should learn it from scratch.

Mr. Zhuang thought for a long time, and finally let Bai Erlang return to the classroom and let him study with the previous students who were a higher level.

He placed Man Bao and Bai Shan Bao at the end of the class. He said, "You two are at a different pace from them. I will teach you individually."

The classmates looked at the two with envy and sympathy in their eyes, but when Lao Zhou's child looked back, he was only proud, puffing up his chest and looking at the people around him.

Mr. Zhuang looked at the classroom filled with students again and nodded happily, then said: "Come here, all the children who don't have a name yet come to me, and I will give you a name."

The child from Lao Zhou's family stood up in a flash, looked around and decided to give it to others first.

They decided to see if the name chosen by their husband sounded good. If it didn't sound good, we planned to let my sister-in-law choose it. If the name chosen by my sister-in-law didn't sound good either, then they would look through the books to find it themselves.

Anyway, they know how to read, so they can read the books themselves, and when they see some good-looking characters, they can use them as names.

It is not difficult to name others, but when the seven children of Lao Zhou's family gathered together, Mr. Zhuang hesitated and asked: "You are all brothers and sisters, do you need to name them with the same character?"

The children's eyes lit up and they nodded immediately, "Yes, yes, sir, we also have the same names now, my name is Datou, and his name is Ertou..."

Mr. Zhuang burst out laughing when he heard this and said, "Then I will give you a two-character name. How about the similarity in the middle?"

Mr. Zhuang asked them as usual, "What kind of word do you want?"

Everyone thought about it seriously, and then looked at Datou. He was the oldest, and according to the tradition of the old Zhou family, he could make the decision.

Da Tou thought about it seriously, and then said: "Sir, we like money, can we use money as the second word?"

Mr. Zhuang:……

He coughed lightly and said, "Let's use the word "Li"."

He looked at the seven children with a smile and said: "Although your family was poor in the past, your grandparents and parents have laid a good foundation for you. In your generation, you should be able to lead the family to establish a foothold, so it is called 'establish'."

Bar."

After Mr. Zhuang finished speaking, he made up his mind. He looked at Man Bao behind him and waved, "Man Bao, just recite an article from The Analects of Confucius."

Man Bao then stood up, thought for a while, and then said: "The Master said: 'If a gentleman is not serious, he will not be powerful; if he is not learned, he will not be solid; if he is loyal, he will be faithful. If he has no friends, he is not as good as himself. If you make mistakes, don't be afraid to change them.'"

Mr. Zhuang nodded slightly, wrote this article on the paper, and said to the seven children: "You can choose a word from it to use as your name."

He smiled and said: "The article your sister-in-law chose for you is very good."

The seven children immediately gathered together to read it. Da Tou Da Ya and Er Tou Da Ya had all studied this article and knew what it meant. So the four of them discussed it and decided to let the three younger brothers and sisters who were still ignorant first choose.

.

Three heads, three Ya and four heads were pushed forward. The three of them asked their brothers and sisters in a low voice, "Which word should we choose?"

Erya said to her sister: "If you want to pronounce it well, then use the word 'ru'. Liru also sounds pretty good."

Sanya immediately said: "Sir, my name is Li Ru!"

Mr. Zhuang nodded slightly and responded with a smile.

Then look at the other children.

San Tou and Si Tou couldn't make up their minds. Man Bao slipped up at some point and chose the word for the two nephews, "San Tou, you always don't like to study, so you can use the word 'learn'. From now on, we will

Every time your name is called, you must remember to study."

Santou: "...I don't want to, is there a word 'play'?"

Man Bao: "No matter how naughty you are, you have to change your character. Change it immediately, hahahahaha..."

Mr. Zhuang looked at her helplessly.

Bai Erlang played well with him and encouraged him, "It's better to learn Chinese characters, but it's even worse to learn other characters. If your name is Lizhong, then you have to be loyal. Hey, Lizhong is not bad either. He's just about the same as me. I

His name is Cheng."

Santou immediately said: "Okay, I'll call you 'Xue'"

Bai Erlang was unhappy when he heard this and snorted.

Manbao gave the fourth head a choice, "You should choose the word 'solid', because you have no idea of ​​your own. Every time the second head asks you to do it, you do it, and the third head tells you to do whatever you do. Obviously it is

If you insist on doing two opposite things, you will have to learn to make your own decisions and stick to your own opinions in the future."

Mr. Zhuang smiled and said nothing. Although one thing is not the other thing, she was right to explain it this way. Children always have strange ideas. As long as she doesn't explain it as stubbornness.
