Chapter 152

County Magistrate Fu nodded and said he understood, but still said, "the county government is not well-off. Now the food for the workers follows the old practice. I'm afraid it's not easy to reform."

Man Bao frowned his little eyebrows and thought it would be difficult. Isn't it just making money? And we didn't eat much.

Man Bao opened his mouth and was about to speak. The county magistrate suddenly asked Bai Shanbao, "what's your name?"

Man Bao shut his mouth for a while. His mother said that when others talk, they should wait until they finish talking. It's rude to interrupt.

Bai Shanbao straightened his small chest and said, "my name is Bai Shan."

"White?" County Magistrate Fu asked with a smile, "who are you, Bai Li of Qili Village?"

Bai Shanbao was stunned and said, "that's my uncle."

"Eh, Bai Li has brothers?"

Bai Shanbao said, "my father and uncle are cousins."

County Magistrate Fu nodded when he heard the speech. He thought Bai Shanbao was Bai's relative who came to rely on Bai Li. He smiled and asked him, "you have a talent for reading. Does your father study now?"

Bai Shanbao replied, "my father was a Jinshi in the first year of Dazhen. Dazhen was appointed county magistrate in Brazil in the second year. Later, he died in office because of the arrest of bandits."

Bai Shanbao pursed at the corners of his mouth and looked very unhappy. Of course, he didn't think of these words, but his grandmother once read them to a person, but Bai Shanbao changed his son into my father.

It reminded him of some bad memories.

Man Bao felt his partner's unhappiness. He immediately threw behind his mind all the labors and meals and held out his small hand to catch him.

Bai Shanbao's hands were held by a pair of fleshy hands. He glanced aside. He felt much better. His vitality recovered again. He looked up to county magistrate Fu.

County Magistrate Fu didn't expect that he was still the orphan of his old colleagues. There were not many officials at this time, so the bureaucratic circle was very small. Da Zhen's second year was not very long from now. He thought about it a little and remembered, "is your father Bai Qi?"

Bai Shanbao said, "it's my father!"

County Magistrate Fu couldn't help sighing and said, "it's the son of an old friend. Would you like to come to the county to study? I can give you a letter of recommendation."

Bai Shanbao shook his head and said, "thank you, sir, but the students can't go to the county school now. Wait until I grow up."

Fu County Magistrate nodded and said happily, "very good. Lord Bai has a successor."

Man Bao looked up at him curiously. He wanted to say something, but Bai Shanbao shook his hand hard, and she didn't speak.

County Magistrate Fu didn't talk to the two children any more. He asked the Yamen to take them down and see the dam.

He came to inspect. He used to walk around. This time, he came to have a look because he heard that the project was halfway through.

Bai Shanbao took man Bao's hand and walked far away. After walking far, he looked back at the back of Fu County Magistrate.

Man Bao also looked back and saw that there were only her fourth brother and Daji nearby. Then he said, "he lied. He doesn't know your father at all."

Bai Shan nodded. "I know. If I knew you, my grandmother would visit us when she brought us here."

"Then why did he lie?"

After all, Bai Shanbao is one year older than man Bao. He received another kind of education since childhood. Therefore, he said: "this is polite, and Brazil county is not far from here. He and Luojiang County belong to mianzhou. Of course, he has to say it. It's you. Don't say anything outside in the future. The people outside are different from those in the village."

Man Bao was surprised and said, "it turns out that mianzhou is outside Luojiang county. Have you been there?"

Zhou sirang couldn't help but help his forehead:... This is a concern.

But Bai Shanbao accepted well. He soon lost his troubles and became happy. He said, "I haven't been there, but it's the state capital. It will be more prosperous than Luojiang county. We'll go when we grow up."

Man Bao nodded, "I want to eat a lot of rice. I'll grow up quickly."

Bai Shanbao nodded deeply. "You have to learn to ride a horse, or you'll be tired to walk."

"I don't have a horse at home, and the horse is so expensive. Can I ride a donkey?"

Bai Shanbao hesitated, "it's OK."

Zhou Silang grabbed one of the back collars in one hand, carried them to the Zhou family's booth and said, "come on, our family doesn't even have a donkey. You haven't been hungry for a long time. Hurry to eat and go back. The second brother shouldn't bring you today."

Daji followed in silence and let Zhou Silang carry their young master.

When he got home, man Baocai suddenly shouted, "county magistrate Fu forgot to return the manuscript to us."

Bai Shanbao was also a little annoyed. After all, they had written it for a long time, so he sighed with man Bao for a while until Mr. Zhuang simply assigned them homework. "Combined with this time to see the building of the dam, you can write it again. This time, you are not allowed to write it together and write your own."

The two children widened their eyes and felt a little pain in their hands at the thought of writing so many words.

Mr. Zhuang said, "you are still young. I'll give you more time. Just give it to me before the winter solstice and before the holiday."

Man Bao broke his fingers and counted how long it was before the winter solstice. He found that it was still a long time. He was immediately happy and responded with Bai Shanbao.

Seeing that the two children recovered their spirits, Mr. Zhuang took them back to class and said, "let's have class."

Although the winter solstice is still a long time away, Bai Shanbao and man Bao dare not slack off. After all, this article is so long that they wrote it for a whole year before.

So as soon as school was over, the two children went back to Bai's house together and skillfully took out things from the bookcase in the study to prepare for their homework.

This is the habit that the two children have developed over the past year. When they don't go out to play, they have to do their homework and read books. They basically come to Bai's study.

After all, the Zhou family has no study, not even a desk. She lies on the table when she wants to do her homework, and no one talks to her when she does her homework. It's so boring.

Bai Shanbao also likes to be accompanied by someone when he does his homework. They tacitly occupy a position, and then take out their pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Looking at each other, Bai Shanbao pressed the white paper in front of him and said, "you are not allowed to peek at me."

Man Bao, who was about to peek, snorted, turned his head and said, "I don't peek at yours, and you're not allowed to peek at mine."

The two children looked at each other warily. They also found a book and put it in the middle to separate each other's sight. Then they began to grind and think hard. How can they write better than him (her)?
