Chapter 647 Stealing the Lotus Plant
Man Bao and Bai Shanbao were sitting in the study, each occupying a small desk. They glanced out the window at Bai Erlang who was talking to his husband, and both sighed.
Then he bowed his head resignedly and started writing.
They were punished. In addition to the original homework, they had to write three Chinese characters. In Mr. Zhuang's words, "Jade cannot be used until it is cut. You two pieces of jade may not be cut for a long time."
After writing three Chinese characters, the two of them honestly took the characters to their husband for comment.
Mr. Zhuang stretched out his hand to take it, looked at it for a while and then shook his head, "It's still a little underheated. From now on, I have to write two Chinese characters every day, so I don't need to practice big characters."
The two of them bowed in agreement.
Mr. Zhuang waved his hand and said, "Let's go play."
Man Bao and Bai Shan breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward, held Bai Er on the left and right, and pulled him out of the door.
Bai Er was caught off guard and was carried out of the yard by them. When he regained consciousness, he asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Go practice climbing the wall."
"Don't we have ladders? Why do we need to practice wall climbing?"
Man Bao said: "Are you stupid? You have to learn to climb the wall. If the ladder is discovered, we can run away or go in again. The ladder is just an urgent need at the moment."
Bai Shandao: "You still think that I will set up and move the ladder for you every day. It's a beautiful idea."
That's what Bai Erlang thought.
However, people are weak on their own, and he watched Bai Shan and Man Bao press their legs and bounce under Daji's guidance, and then they could take two steps on the wall, so he still practiced together.
Bai Erlang found that sneaking into the library to read books was an interesting but tiring game.
Although the miscellaneous books in the library are interesting, they are not as good as playing outside.
So after being honest for a few days, he finally couldn't help but quietly went to play with Wei Chen, leaving Bai Shan and Man Bao behind.
At first, the two of them were just playing around in the school.
Anyway, there are many students in the government school, and not everyone among the servants knows each other, let alone the officials and academic officials.
So he is very safe in the government school.
Later, Wei Chen was jealous that they could come in and out so easily, so he used their ladder to sneak out and took Bai Erlang out to play.
Of course, Manbao and the others occasionally join in.
It's just a pity that Mr. Zhuang has a tight grasp on the two of them, and the reading tasks assigned to them are very heavy. Moreover, every time they go home, Mr. Zhuang has to ask questions.
Ask about the content in the book, what they learned, and what questions they have...
He said to Bai Shan: "Originally, we planned to go to the capital to try the six studies after three or two years of studying in the government. So your time is very tight. I won't restrict you from playing, but you must also pay attention to the time and give you fun every day.
There isn’t much time.”
He turned around and said to Man Bao: "What you have learned is different from Shanbao Erlang. Generally speaking, what you have to learn is more in-depth. Although I only know some medical theory as a teacher, I also know that the medical skills of curing diseases and saving people do not happen overnight."
To learn it, you have to persist every day and never slack off."
"So I allow you to spend half of your time studying medicine at the drug store every day. You spend less time studying than them, but you learn the same things as them. Where does that time come from? You can only squeeze it in by yourself.
"Mr. Zhuang said something that he and Zhou Lang often talked about, "Work hard now, and you will be successful when you grow up."
I don’t know if Mr. Zhuang believes it himself, but Man Bao believes it anyway.
Mr. Youzhuang urged, and with the arrival of autumn, the weather gradually became cooler, so Manbao became less depressed and irritable while studying.
And after unremitting exercise, they have been able to climb up the wall without using a ladder and jump off the wall with support.
Not only was there a somewhat short wall to the west of the Mansion School, but also the relatively high wall of the Yan family, they could also jump up and down safely.
So, after Man Bao stepped on the wall for the first time, climbed onto the top of the wall and jumped up, she glanced at the lotus pond hidden behind the trees. She couldn't hold back and jumped towards Yan's house.
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang, who were still cheering for her, were stunned. Then they immediately took a few steps back, jumped onto the wall, and then jumped over there.
Daji:……
He followed helplessly, and when he passed, the three of them had already run some distance away.
The three of them ran to the lotus pond. The lotus was just right, but there was no boat and they didn't know how to swim. The three of them could only stand on the edge and stare. After stretching their hands several times and finding that they couldn't reach it, they looked at Daji.
Daji moved his head to the side and his eyes paused slightly.
Everyone followed his gaze and saw the abandoned boat on the shore. The three of them were not afraid that others would hear them, so they cheered and ran towards the boat.
Bai Erlang ran the fastest and reached out to drag the boat. As soon as he started to use it, he felt that it was as heavy as a thousand pounds. He dragged it hard and it didn't move. He pushed it harder and it still didn't move.
Bai Erlang couldn't help but straighten up and look at Bai Shan and Man Bao.
The two of them had already bent down to find the reason. The three of them walked around in a circle and finally realized that the boat had been parked for too long and had directly stranded on the shore. It was not known whether there was a bump at the bottom that blocked it, so it could not be pushed.
move.
Bai Shan touched the canoe, knocked it again and said, "It looks quite strong, how about we turn it over?"
This method was good. The three of them walked up and used force together to flip the entire boat over. Only then did they see a bump at the bottom of the boat, which directly blocked the bottom.
When the three of them saw that the canoe had been turned over, they laughed and turned it over again, then pushed it into the water.
The three of them just rushed up. After sitting for a while, they found that the boat was swinging on the water but not moving. They were stunned for a moment.
Daji found two wooden boards from somewhere and got on the boat.
The three of them were all landlubbers, and it was impossible for him to let them run into the water and play by themselves.
After giving them the plank, Daji walked to the stern of the boat and sat down. Manbao, who took the plank, paddled in the water and asked, "How do you paddle this?"
Bai Erlang went to grab the wooden board in her hand and said, "Just scratch it as long as you can move it."
Man Bao slapped his hand away unceremoniously and shouted: "I know, if you have to row in the opposite direction, I'll do it first."
Bai Shan had already put the wooden board into the water and started rowing. It was the first time for everyone. With this row, the wooden boat started spinning on the spot.
Daji didn't care about them and let them make trouble. Anyway, they would have to go back if it got dark.
The three of them rowed randomly for a while, laughing and joking, and gradually found the feeling and pattern, and rowed the boat to the middle of the lotus pond.
It was already the end of summer, when the lotus pods were ripe. Manbao and the others picked out the big, ripe lotus pods and folded them. The three of them worked together and picked about twenty of them in a short time.
Daji saw that their interest was not diminishing, but was getting more and more excited, so he reminded: "You can't finish eating if you pick too much."
Bai Shan glanced at the lotus pods piled at his feet and said, "Pick a few more. We have a lot of people in our family, so everyone can eat a few and that's it."
Man Bao nodded repeatedly, pointed at one and said: "That one is big, that one is big, let's go there quickly."
