Chapter 67 Warning

Man Bao replied happily, saying, "Daya and the others recognize words quickly. Now they will write our county, village and their own names."

Xiao Qian nodded and said with a smile: "Then teach them more. You don't have to learn any poems, songs, just recognize some words. The most important thing is to recognize numbers. Knowing how to calculate numbers is the most important thing."

Qian has his own wisdom. It is better to be able to recognize words. If you can’t recognize words, you must also recognize numbers. At least you won’t be cheated when you go out to buy things.

Manbao said that she would teach them all.

Qian touched her head and encouraged her to study hard, "Don't worry about family matters, my mother's health is much better. You just need to grow up healthily and quickly."

Manbao didn't quite understand why Niang said that, but he nodded happily.

Qian said, "Okay, your fifth brother has bought your chicken, you can go and take a look."

Only then did Manbao understand why her mother said this. She naughtyly put her shoulders on naughtyly and said, "Mom, I am healthy, you must be healthy too."

Then he jumped to see her chicken.

There were two chicken cages in the corner outside the chicken house. Manbao ran over and saw the chicken in the chicken cage for the first time. She was shocked.

There was a chicken in both chicken cages, which were separated by far, but they all had the same appearance, with their hair ridiculed, and there were many bloods of people being pecked out on their bodies. Manbao jumped over, and they shrank their necks in frightened, and their bodies shook, making Manbao look like a bully.

Manbao squatted in front of the chicken cage and looked at the chickens. Their appearance was so familiar. She glanced at the two chickens and ran to find her fifth brother.

Zhou Wulang is counting money, but today's flower baskets have not been sold, so the profit is less than the previous two days.

He counted it once, wrote a note on his small notebook, and then pushed it to the Duobao number.

满宝暂时没管钱,问道:“五哥,你去找斗鸡的人买的鸡?”

"Yes," Zhou Wulang said naturally: "Didn't you say that the chicken girl you bought is reluctant to eat? I think it's useless to buy hens that can't buy eggs, because they don't lay eggs now, and they can lay them once they are raised. In the end, my mother still doesn't want to eat them, so I went to buy fight cocks. They are all like that, and they can't survive any longer. It's better to kill and eat them."

Zhou Wulang winked and said to her, "It's cheap, you can buy two chickens for the money."

Manbao couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, "Brother Fifth, you are so smart."

She swallowed and asked, "Why don't you kill one tonight?"

"Mom said it's too late. You're ready for late meals. I'll kill you tomorrow." Zhou Wulang sighed, "Mom said, if I help you spend money indiscriminately next time, I won't be allowed to go to the county town. Manbao, you should find someone else if you buy chickens in the future."

Man Bao hummed, "If you don't help me, I'll buy it in the village."

She rolled her eyes and smiled, "I already have a way."

Zhou Silang asked curiously: "What's the solution?"

"I won't tell you." Manbao lowered his head and counted the money. Not only did he calculate their private accounts, but he also calculated the public accounts that he had to pay, and then distributed the money to everyone and then kept the accounts.

Zhou Wulang looked at it and was envious, "Manbao, how did your head grow? I have been studying for so long, but I still can't calculate how to calculate the money I pay for my husband."

Man Bao said: "Diligence can make up for your shortcomings. If you have nothing to do in the future, you will be able to calculate two numbers by yourself, and you will get it slowly."

Keke said that this is mental arithmetic, which can train a person's brain and logical thinking. Simply put, it can make smart people smarter, stupid people less stupid, or even smarter.

When Manbao was even younger, he had nothing to play with, and his favorite thing was to play with Keke.

She took the subject, and then the subject took her again.

So she is the best person in the family.

Manbao kept the account and collected the money that everyone handed over to her for custody. He gave everyone two questions to him and asked them to do it themselves.

Even Zhou Silang couldn't help but sweat in his forehead, so Man Bao taught them, "First use your fingers to calculate. If you don't have enough fingers to add to your toes, you'll have to calculate too much, so you won't have to beat your fingers in the future."

"But our fingers and toes are not enough?"

"Then count other people's?" Man Bao said naturally: "I often borrow my father's fingers and toes to count. Look, I don't have to borrow his fingers and toes now."

The brothers and nephews were all shocked, but they didn't expect that their father (grandfather) had his fingers and toes borrowed by his youngest sister (girl).

When eating late, Old Zhou felt that the fourth, fifth, sixth and several grandchildren looked at him with strange eyes. He couldn't help but touch his face and asked, "Is there a grain of rice on my face?"

Everyone who glanced at him immediately shook their heads and lowered their heads to eat late meals.

Manbao was unaware of these things and was working hard to stew the rice in the bowl. Her appetite has always been good and she has eaten a lot. Qian would restrain the late meals of the big-headed grandchildren, but she was reluctant to let her go hungry and kept giving her a full meal.

Manbao knew that food could not be wasted, so he cleaned the last grain of rice in the bowl, put it down and said obediently: "Mom, I'm full."

Qian glanced outside and saw that there was still light, so he asked her to teach Datou and the others to read.

A group of children ran to the yard, playing and recognizing words until the last ray of setting sun completely disappeared and it was dark. Everyone stopped recognizing words, but began to shake their heads and recite Manbao to teach them the "Thousand Character Text".

The sound of reading came to the village. Someone looked at the direction of the Zhou family and said enviously: "Zhou Jin and his family are going to have scholars."

"Turn down, just a child teaches to read a few sentences, but it is not necessarily true whether he can recognize words or not. If he becomes a scholar so easily, then will there be scholars in the world?"

"What do you know? As long as you can recognize words and know how to count, you can even be an accountant in the county. Just see, their daughter will be able to learn in school for seven or eight years and teach her brothers and nephews what she learned. It will take less than ten years for their family to be different from ours."

He sighed, "How come such a good daughter was born in their family?"

While speaking, he looked at his wife with a very disgusting look. His wife was very dissatisfied and pinched her waist and said, "You don't even look at who her father is. I won't give birth to it? It's your bad planting!"

Their children looked at their parents curiously. The couple was about to quarrel when the old man sitting on it knocked on the table with his pipe and said, "What are you calling out? That's the root of our Zhou family. These or two good seedlings have been produced in hundreds of years. Isn't they going to have a future for others?"

His daughter-in-law was hard to say, so she could only scold her son, "Please keep your mouth shut and don't be careless outside. If I tell you something bad to hear..."

His son lowered his head and responded honestly.
