Farmer’s Little Girl

  Chapter 356 Rules

  Bai Shanbao and Manbao are regular customers of the bookstore. As soon as they entered the bookstore, they took Bai Erlang to find the copybook, and secretly urged, "Hurry up and choose, let's go out and play."

  Bai Erlang wanted to take a copy at hand. Man Bao had already opened a copybook and asked, "What kind of font do you like? A little rounder, or a little slender? It can't be scribbled, right?"

  Bai Shanbao has selected two copies from a bunch of copybooks and handed them to him, "These two are good, you choose yourself."

  Bai Erlang opened the copybook just like catching the duck on the shelf, and asked in a low voice, "When I get home, can you copy the copybook for me?"

   "No, your father will be angry if he knows it," Man Bao said, "Do your own things, right?"

  Bai Erlang pursed his mouth and said: "But I don't like writing."

  Man Baodao: "I don't like eating eggs, and Datou and Da Ya don't like planting rice seedlings in the fields..."

  Bai Erlang wronged Baba and chose a copybook. Man Bao didn't understand what was wrong with it. She grew up and didn't have a copybook of her own.

   are all copied by Bai Shanbao.

Bai Erlang dabbled here before he made up his mind. Over there, Master Bai has picked out several books in the bookstore, and he is smiling and beckoning to the three children, "Let’s take a look at the book I chose for you, Erlang, you See if you still like it?"

Seeing the book in his father's hand, Bai Erlang couldn't help but open his mouth wide. He faintly regretted it. In fact, the county town is not that fun.

  Bai Shanbao and Manbao stepped forward, and they were not very interested when they stepped forward and flipped through them.

  One said: "I have this book at home, I don't want to buy it anymore."

   said: "I have read this book. I can't understand a lot of it. I think I have to grow a little longer."

  Master Bai looked at the two children in astonishment. The words actually scared them. He chose this book for himself.

  Master Bai was silent for a while, then turned to look at his son.

  Bai Jiro was also flipping through the book selected by Master Bai, and found that he didn't know any of the books, and he couldn't even understand the title of the book, so he scratched his head.

  Master Bai became more and more silent. Seeing the two children glaring at the lively street outside, he felt that the two children could not be allowed to grow up so freely. Since they are so smart and studious, they should be binding.

   So Master Bai squeezed out a bright smile to the two children, and said: "Do you have any books you want to buy? Choose them, and I will buy them for you."

  Bai Shanbao shook his head first, “Cousin, I have a lot of books at home, and my grandmother will buy some new books to go home every once in a while. There is no shortage of books at home.”

  "Then there are always books you want to read but don’t have at home? It's rare to come to the county seat and the cousin will buy you a few books, but you have to promise me that you will want to read them after you buy them, and I will have to take the exam after reading them."

  Man Bao felt that it was not good to accept such valuables, so he refused.

  Master Bai became more kind to her, and said softly: "This is the encouragement from your uncle. For children who are as good at reading as you, it would be a pity if you don't have enough books to read, so you just choose, uncle invites you."

  Man Bao still shook his head.

  A book is not cheap.

  And what Manbao likes is not an ordinary book.

  She has thinner books like the cheapest "Thousand Characters" and "The Analects of Confucius", as well as other common books like Mr. Bai Shanbao, and basically let her read and copy them.

  So the books that Manbao wants to buy are basically very expensive and expensive books.

  My mother said, the sky won’t drop the pie. If it does, you pick up the pie, and you have to tribute a chicken to God when you turn around.

  Daddy said that people in the world are mixed, but people who seek profit must account for 90%. No one dislikes profit. If a person treats you nicely for no reason, it is because you are cute; but that person's goodness requires a lot of money, and it must be the other party's conspiracy.

  Lao Zhoutou has long established rules for Man Bao, saying: "You can accept gifts with a value of less than five hundred liters. You can't get them with more than five hundred liters, and parents can't afford it."

  So Man Bao carefully glanced at the thick books on the bookshelf not far away, and resolutely rejected the kindness of Master Bai.

  She felt a little regretful. It would be good if Master Bai gave her those nice toys on the street, but she asked over the price, they were not very expensive.

  Master Bai saw that he couldn't give out a book, he was a little sorry, and then turned his head to look at his son.

  Bai Shanbao and Man Bao can refuse, his son can't refuse, right?

   So Master Bai squeezed a smile at his son and waved his hand generously: "Erlang, go and see if there are any books you like. Bring it over, and Dad will buy it for you."

   Bai Erlang was about to cry, shook his head and said: "No, father, I think there are more books at home, I just use older brother's old books."

   "No, I treat your brothers well. You have what your elder brother has, and you also have it."

  White Erlang weakly said: "No, I, I think it's good to use older brother's old book."

  Bai Shanbao and Manbao probably understood his pain, and both gave him a sympathetic look.

  In the end, Bai Erlang still failed to fight against Master Bai. Under his pressure, he chose several books that he didn't like.

  Waiting out of the bookstore, not only did Bai Erlang feel like he was left behind, but also Bai Shanbao and Man Bao breathed a sigh of relief.

  The shopkeeper of the bookstore smiled so much that his eyes were almost narrowed, and he graciously helped to deliver the books, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc. bought by Mr. Bai to the carriage, and then stood at the door happily waving goodbye to Man Bao and the others.

  Man Bao and the others did not get in the carriage, but walked down the street to stroll.

  The winter is long and everyone is bored, so the economic activities on the street increase. Although the entrance fee is still required to enter the city, everyone still likes to go shopping in the city.

  Of course, most of them are unmarried, but it can be said that the relatives are big and small boys and girls, and there are people who are relatively wealthy and don’t pick up those few words to go to the city and drag their family.

  Therefore, most people sell food on the street, and sell all kinds of accessories and toys.

  Many toys Bai Erlang and Bai Shanbao have played, and they even have them at home now, but they still can’t help but want to buy them when they see them on the street.

  The two of them are still like this, let alone Man Bao.

  Her toys are made by family members. The Zhou family never buys toys for their children. I think it’s better to have the money to buy food?

  After all, you can eat into your stomach. I don’t like it after playing for a while, thanks to it.

  So Man Bao likes the windmill that turns in the wind, he likes the little wooden horse, and he likes the wooden top...

  Master Bai usually picks a little bit, but he is very generous in these little toys for children, mainly because these things are not expensive.

   Cheap two or three wen, you can buy it for about ten ren, so he generously told his three children that he would take whatever he likes, and he would pay for it!

  Man Bao asked about the price, and felt that it was within the rules given by her father, so he happily chose his favorite toy.

  Bai Shanbao is even more polite.

   After walking less than two hundred meters, the three children carried a lot of things in their arms. All three of them enjoyed themselves. At last they felt that they had come to the county seat.
