Chapter 43

The sun was still shining at noon, but the sky began to be covered with dark clouds soon after class in the afternoon.

Man Bao and Bai Shanbao look out on the table. They are a little excited. It will really rain when ants move.

Mr. Zhuang also saw that after class, he asked the students to stay in the classroom and wait for the family to pick them up, and then took man Bao and Shanbao to the yard next door.

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

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

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

Mr. Zhuang spoke slowly. The two children broke their fingers and calculated back and forth. They found that it was true, so they nodded.

Mr. Zhuang pointed to the rain curtain outside and continued to ask, "what do you see now“

The two children said in unison, "it's raining."

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

The two children shook their heads.

"The teacher will not only think that it is going to rain, but also think that there are so many ants under my house. Ants gnaw at the house and furniture. I will start to prevent insects and ants at home. I will also think that the Bank of thousands of miles is destroyed in the ant Cave..." Mr. Zhuang told them about ants in detail.

Man Bao and Shan Bao were stunned. They didn't know that small ants would not only gnaw a big tree to death, but also empty a house and destroy thousands of miles of dikes.

After Mr. Zhuang finished, the ant said the autumn rain outside and told them that what they see now is only a rain, but in the eyes of different people, this autumn rain has different meanings.

For these children, the autumn rain only temporarily imprisons them in the school, but for farmers, the fall of the autumn rain means that they can start ploughing and retting grass to prepare for farming in the coming year.

For those who want to go 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 to the two children in detail. It seemed that it was irrelevant, but the conversation turned and returned to the problem of the county magistrate.

"In the morning, I asked you what the county magistrate does. What you said is also the most intuitive impression you see with your eyes and hear with your ears, but in fact, what you said is not complete," Mr. Zhuang said. "Sometimes what you see with your eyes and hear with your ears may not be what you think in your heart. You have to look, listen and think more. If you have too many emotions in your chest, Then put it off for a while. Don't make a final decision. When time passes and you are calm enough, you may have a different harvest. "

The two children understood a little, but they didn't particularly understand it, but Mr. Zhuang didn't let them understand it now, but let them remember what he said. They will understand when they should understand it in the future.

As they spoke, the Bai family and the Zhou family came to pick up the two children. Man Bao and Shanbao said goodbye to their husband. They ran out in the rain hand in hand. They were so happy that they were caught in the rain. When the two children ran out, they deliberately stepped on a place with a puddle and splashed the water, and they became more and more happy.

Outside the yard, warnings and reprimands from two adults sounded one after another. The two children ran to their families while trampling on the water.

Mr. Zhuang stood at the door and looked at it. He touched his beard again and again, but he was thinking about what man Bao said.

The county magistrate wants to increase the city entry fee. What is it for this time?

Mr. Zhuang naturally knows more than the Zhou family. In fact, as early as three years ago, when Fu County Magistrate first came to Luojiang County, he added a transfer fee into the city. Not only that, the taxes and servitude were increased. Then Fu County Magistrate repaired a section of official road, strengthened the Luojiang dam and dug a canal for county Guo within two years.

The county magistrate has a three-year term of office. This year, Fu County Magistrate has not been transferred, which means that he will be here again, but he just doesn't know what political affairs he wants to do this time or doesn't do anything at all.

Mr. Zhuang is a little worried.

But these problems obviously can't be said with two children.

Man Bao was taken home by Feng. As soon as he got home, he went to the kitchen to fetch hot water for her to take a bath. There was no way. The child stepped on the water. Not only his shoes but also his pants were wet.

Qian touched her little hand and scolded her, "it's more and more careless. How do you think you're more naughty when you go to school?"

Man Bao said, "Bai Shanbao also stepped on the water."

"He is him and you are you. Maybe he learned from you. Let you learn well, not to learn bad, let alone teach other children bad."

Man Bao sighed, "well, I won't step on the water in the future."

The child's promise is as unreliable as the day of July.

Qian asked Feng to take a bath for her, filled her with a bowl of hot water, and let her play. He just told her, "don't go out to tread on the water and get wet, or I won't allow you to study tomorrow."

Man Bao loves learning. How can he be reluctant to go?

So she had to sit in the hall and wait for her brothers to come back.

Zhou Silang and his two younger brothers took shelter from the rain under the tree. They ran back when the rain was not very heavy, but they were also wet.

On Friday, they helped to open up wasteland today, cut a lot of bamboo by the way, and winked at Yaomei as soon as they came back.

Man Bao understands that when Zhou Erlang comes back, he will pester him to help make a flower basket.

Zhou Erlang was about to say that man Bao's flower basket had made a lot of money before. Zhou Erlang didn't say it, but he was very excited. But he had a lot of things to do recently and couldn't start. Seeing man Bao asked, he immediately knew that it was the idea of old five and six. He didn't refuse. He said, "let old five and six cut the bamboo strips well, and I'll make them up when I come back."

Even old Zhou tou said, "when I come back from the field, I'll help you make it up."

After thinking about it, he felt that the old fourth was too unreliable to open up wasteland. He hesitated and said, "why don't you let the old fourth stop opening up wasteland? The land at the foot of the mountain may not be fattened up after being raised for two years. Why? It's more practical to help do some work at home. "

Zhou Silang felt refreshed and wanted to nod.

However, man Bao didn't agree. Man Bao said, "Dad, if the fourth brother doesn't obey, that's punishment. Sir, it's taboo to change day and night. In the future, the fourth brother doesn't think there's anything wrong to do?"

"He dares not to see me kill him!"

Man Bao despised her father. "You can't beat the fourth brother, or you'll be so sad."

Lao Zhou choked and waved, "OK, let your fourth brother continue to open up wasteland. Your fifth brother and sixth brother will see if you can continue the flower basket business for a long time."
