Chapter 43: Seeing the Essence Through Phenomena

It was still sunny at noon, but it was dark clouds starting to fall when class was about to end in the afternoon.

Manbao and Bai Shanbao lay on the table and looked out, and were a little excited. It would really rain when ants moved.

Mr. Zhuang also saw it. After class, he asked the students to stay in the classroom and wait for their family to pick them up, and then took Manbao and Shanbao to the yard next door where he lived.

He took the two children to the study and said, "What you saw in the morning was the ants moving, what did you see now?"

Man Bao said: "It's raining, and it will rain when an ants move."

Mr. Zhuang smiled and said, "Silly kid, you have reversed the order. It's not that it will rain when the ants move, but that it will rain, and the ants will move their homes to a safe place. When humans see it, they know that it will rain."

Mr. Zhuang said slowly. The two children calculated back and forth with their fingers, and found that it was really right, so they nodded.

Mr. Zhuang pointed to the rain curtain outside and continued to ask, "What are you seeing now?"

The two children spoke in unison, "It's raining."

"These are all appearances," said Mr. Zhuang: "Manbao, your parents told you that it will rain when ant moves, so you decided that it will rain when ant moves. Shanbao, you have never heard of such words, so what you see is just ant move. But do you know what the teacher thinks of when he sees ant?"

The two children shook their heads.

"The teacher will not only think that it is about to rain, but also think that there are so many ants under my house. Ants eat up the house and furniture. The house needs to start controlling insects and ants. I will also think that the thousand-mile dike is destroyed in the ant hole..." Mr. Zhuang talked about ants to them in detail.

Manbao and Shanbao were stunned when they heard this. How could they know that the small ant would not only chew a big tree to death, but also hang a house in the air and destroy a thousand-mile embankment.

After Mr. Zhuang finished speaking, the ant talked about the autumn rain outside and told them that what they saw now was just a rain, but in the eyes of different people, this autumn rain has a different meaning.

For the children, the autumn rain just temporarily imprisoned them in the school, but for the farmers, the fall of this autumn rain means that they can start plowing the fields and fermenting grass and preparing for the next year's farming.

For those who are going out, the disadvantages of this autumn rain outweigh the benefits, because they don’t know how much time it will take.

Mr. Zhuang said this carefully to his two children, as if it was unrelated, but after the conversation changed, he returned to the issue of the county magistrate.

"In the morning, I asked your county magistrate what you said, and the most intuitive impression you see with your eyes, but in fact you don't say it completely," said Mr. Zhuang: "Sometimes what you see with your eyes and what you hear with your ears may not be what you think in your heart. You have to look more, listen more, and think more. If you have too many emotions in your heart, then wait a moment and don't make a conclusion first. When time passes a little, you may think about these things when you are calm enough, and you may have different gains."

The two children understood a little, but they didn't understand it very well. But Mr. Zhuang didn't let them understand it now, but asked them to remember what he said, and they would understand it when it was time to understand it in the future.

As they were talking, the Bai family and Zhou family came to pick up their two children. Manbao and Shanbao said goodbye to their husbands. The two ran out in the rain, and were so happy that they were soaked by the rain. When the two children ran out, they deliberately found a place with a puddle, and the water splashed everywhere, and the two of them became happier.

The warnings and scoldings of the two adults from the two families rang out outside the yard. While trampling the water, the two children ran towards their respective families.

Mr. Zhuang stood at the door and watched, touching his beard again and again, but he was thinking about what Manbao said in his heart.

The county magistrate wants to increase the cost of entering the city. What is the purpose of this time?

Mr. Zhuang naturally knows more than the Zhou family. In fact, three years ago, when Magistrate Fu came to Luojiang County, he added a deposit of city entrance fee. Not only that, the donation of taxes and labor was increased. Then Magistrate Fu repaired a section of official road within two years, strengthened the Luojiang embankment, and dug a canal for the county guo.

The county magistrate serves every three years. This year, the county magistrate Fu was not transferred, which means he still has to be in this term, but he just doesn't know what political affairs he wants to do or nothing this time.

Mr. Zhuang was a little worried.

But these questions are obviously not something that can be told to the two children.

Manbao was taken home by Feng. As soon as he got home, he went to the kitchen to get hot water to take a bath. There was no way, so the child went to step on the water. Not only did his shoes get wet, but his pants were also much wet.

Qian touched her little hand and scolded her, "I'm really getting more and more worried. Why do you think you're even more naughty when you go to school?"

Man Bao said: "Bai Shanbao has also stepped on water."

"He is him, you are you, maybe he is still learning from you. Let you learn good things, not bad things, nor teach other children."

Manbao sighed, "Okay, I won't step on water in the future."

The child's guarantee is as unreliable as the July day.

Qian asked Feng to bathe her, then poured her a bowl of hot water, and asked her to go play, but she just told her, "Don't go out and step on the water and get wet in the rain, otherwise I won't allow you to study tomorrow."

Manbao is the time when he loves studying, how could he not be willing to go?

So I could only sit in the main hall waiting for her brothers to come back.

Zhou Silang and his two younger brothers were hiding from the rain under the tree and ran back when the rain was not heavy, but their bodies were wet.

Zhou Wulang and the others helped to open the land today, and cut a lot of bamboo by the way, and then they winked their youngest sister as soon as they came back.

Man Bao understood that when Zhou Erlang came back, he would pester him to help build flower baskets.

Zhou Erlang was about to say that Manbao's flower basket had made a lot of money before. Zhou Erlang didn't say it, but he was very moved. However, he had been busy with a lot of things recently and couldn't get rid of his hands. When he saw Manbao ask, he immediately knew that it was the fifth and sixth brothers' brothers' brothers' brothers' brothers' brothers' brothers' brothers' brothers' brothers' brothers' brothers' brothers' brothers' brothers' brothers' brothers' brothers' brothers' brothers' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys' boys

Even Old Zhou said with a rare opportunity: "I will help you make up when I come back from the field."

After thinking about it, I felt that the fourth brother was too unreliable to open up the land, so I hesitated and said, "If I don't let the fourth brother not open up the land, the land at the foot of the mountain may not be able to get rich after two years of development. Why bother? It's more practical to help with some work at home."

Zhou Silang was excited and wanted to nod.

But Manbao refused to agree. Manbao said, "Dad, the fourth brother is disobedient, that is a punishment. The gentleman said that changing orders every day is a taboo. What should I do if the fourth brother thinks that it is nothing to do if he does something wrong?"

"He dares, let me see if I don't beat him to death!"

Manbao despised her father, "You will definitely not be able to beat the fourth brother to death, otherwise you will be so sad."

Old Zhou was choked and waved his hand, "Okay, let your fourth brother continue to open up the land, and your fifth brother and sixth brother can see if you can continue to do the flower basket business for a long time."
