Man Bao turned around and wanted to run away, but Mr. Zhuang had already seen the ladder placed in the corner. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Man Bao's collar and said angrily: "Go back and copy the "Etiquette" for me!"

Man Bao's eyes almost popped out of his head and he shouted: "Sir, we didn't bring the "Etiquette"."

"I'll borrow it for you. Mr. Lan has it."

Man Bao was about to cry, and she immediately turned to look at her two junior brothers.

Bai Erlang huddled aside like a quail, and Bai Shanbao also gave her a helpless look.

Man Bao is not afraid of copying books, but she is afraid of copying "Rituals". The content is complicated and difficult to understand, and it is difficult to even write the words. After copying the thirteen chapters of "Rites", her whole head will be empty.

Although she was often punished to copy books, this was the first time she was directly punished to copy a book of "Etiquette" like this. Mr. Zhuang persisted and wrote a letter to Zhou Lang and asked him to find someone to deliver it to him at the intersection.

Arrive at Lan's house.

Zhou Lang was reluctant to spend money, and the Lan family was not very far away, so he took the letter and left without even looking at his punished sister.

Man Bao could only slump his shoulders and go back to the study room to polish his ink and prepare to wait for the books to arrive.

Mr. Zhuang still refused to let her go, saying: "It would be better to copy it. The handwriting must be neat and neat. After copying, bind it into a book. If you make a mistake in the future, just use it as a template to copy."

Now even the eyes of Bai Shanbao and Bai Erlang became active.

When Zhou Lang came back with the book, Man Bao could only rely on his luck, get some ink, and then write correctly.

Because I have to ensure neatness, the content is not familiar to me, the words are difficult to write, and the meaning of the words is also difficult. If I am not careful, I may write wrong words, and the speed is also much slower.

Man Bao only copied five pages until the sunset.

She put the copied ones aside to dry, and then put them away when they were dry.

Bai Shanbao stopped studying and had already packed up his desk and ran out.

When Man Bao went out, he saw them clumsily helping Zhou Lang chop wood. Man Bao walked over to them and sat down.

Zhou Lang took the time to look at her and asked curiously, "Have you finished copying?"

Man Bao: "How can it be so fast? It will take at least ten days to finish copying."

Zhou Lang was surprised, "It's just a book. Aren't you all very fast at copying books before?"

Bai Shanbao smiled happily, "How about that? We all know the Thousand-Character Classic and The Analects of Confucius by heart and can write them with our eyes closed, but the Ritual, hehehe..."

"What are you proud of?" Man Bao said, "Sir, he said that when you make mistakes, you have to copy the "Etiquette"."

"I won't make any mistakes."

Bai Erlang immediately said: "I don't know how either."

Man Bao snorted, turned his head to the side, touched his stomach, and felt a little hungry, "Fourth brother, what should we eat tonight?"

"I made an agreement with them to eat the food from the restaurant at the entrance of the alley. They will bring it to me in a moment, and I have steamed the rice."

Everyone disliked Zhou Lang's cooking, so they basically ate from outside for three meals a day.

Breakfast is usually bought by Zhou Lang, or they buy it when they go out for a walk. Lunch and dinner are usually delivered to their door by Zhou Lang.

Steam the rice yourself.

Manbao sat on the small stool, missing his sister-in-law's food as usual.

Zhou Lang also missed it, "It would be great if my sister-in-law was here, we wouldn't have to spend so much money every day."

Man Bao said: "Actually, it's not that much."

Zhou Lang looked at her and said, "I really doubt that you are not a child of our family. You spend money as if your family is rich."

"My family has no money, but I have money."

Zhou Lang actually felt that what she said made sense.

"We have distinguished guests tomorrow, do you think I should go buy some snacks and put them back?" Zhou Lang changed the topic.

The three little ones nodded immediately, "Yes, yes."

They haven't had snacks for a long time, so there is nothing they can do. Although Zhou Lang, who is in charge of money, is more generous than Lao Zhoutou, he is still very stingy about unnecessary expenses.

Such as snacks.

Bai Erlang said: "Buy some sweet-scented osmanthus cake."

Bai Shanbao: "And chestnut cake."

Man Bao: "The glutinous rice cakes are also good, the snow-white kind."

"There are so many requests. I'll go see them tomorrow and buy whichever one is cheaper."

The three little ones laughed, knowing that Zhou Lang just said that. Otherwise, if they don't like to eat the snacks they bought, wouldn't it still be a waste?

Since you have distinguished guests coming to your door, of course you can't just buy some snacks, you also have to buy tea and make tea.

Zhou Lang calculated the things he wanted to buy in his mind, and said to the children: "You will go wash your clothes tomorrow, I won't help you."

Bai Shanbao and Bai Erlang immediately looked at Manbao, and Manbao acted coquettishly, "Fourth brother, please help us for a few more days, we are not ready yet."

"It's been a few days and you're not ready yet? I've taken you to see it two or three times," Zhou Lang flatly refused: "I won't help, go by yourself!"

After saying that, he picked up the ax and put it away, took the firewood and went back to boil water.

The three children sighed again and again. They discussed it and decided to wash up early today.

After the three of them washed up, they put on their shorts, wrapped their hands, and gathered their clothes to go out.

Zhou Lang looked at it for a moment and asked, "Aren't the clothes washed in the morning?"

Man Bao said: "Everyone has the same idea as you, so there are so many people doing laundry in the morning, and the queue can last for an hour. It takes a lot of time."

Bai Shanbao nodded and said, "It's not dark anyway, so we can wash clothes quickly."

Of course it's faster. It's the first time for all three of them to wash clothes. Although they've seen it done several times, when it's their turn, they still throw the clothes into the river. When they're soaked, they drag them up and pat them twice before twisting them.

Put it in a wooden basin when it is dry.

Daji, who was following behind the three of them, was stunned for a moment. He twitched his forehead and couldn't help but said: "It's not clean."

The three little ones looked at Daji, then looked at the clothes in their hands, threw them into the river, stirred them up, and asked their friends to help them wring them after dragging them up.

Daji hesitated to speak. After thinking about it, he said nothing more.

Forget it, you can learn it over time.

Zhou Lang had boiled the last pot of hot water and had just poured out the hot water. Before he could wash up, he saw them coming back with wooden basins.

He smiled and asked, "Why don't you wash it?"

Man Bao said: "We have already washed it."

Zhou Lang subconsciously glanced at the sunset on the horizon and felt something was wrong, "No, you have only been out for a long time. Have you reached the river?"

"We're here, we've been washing for a long time."

Zhou Lang opened his mouth wide and wanted to ask them, where have you been for a long time?

He glanced at Daji, who was following behind expressionlessly, and couldn't help but let out a breath. Forget it, let them go. After all, he didn't wear the clothes himself.

If they were the only ones in this family, everyone would be sloppy before long, but that's not the case.

So when Mr. Zhuang came out and saw the wet clothes drying on the sticks in the yard, he said: "Take out the clothes and wash them again. Clothes that are not wrung out are not allowed to be dried up."
