Farmer’s Little Girl

   Chapter 489

  The three brothers are planning to listen to Man Bao’s suggestion to send their children to school, so Lao Zhou will naturally no longer object.

  Although he is the head of the family, if all the children underneath make the same decision, he will not be too opposed.

  He just doesn’t like to pay for it himself.

  However, although he didn't pay any money, he agreed with Qian's idea to divide the money again.

  Not only Zhou Dalang and his wife had a meeting last night, but the old Zhoutou and his wife also spoke quietly for half the night.

  How important reading is, just look at Man Bao.

  Before they recognized Ligustrum, did they recognize yam? Do you know how to grow ginger?

  Not to mention selling the wheat as a wheat seed to Master Bai at a high price.

  In the past, they thought they could be an examiner, a husband, or a bookkeeper, but they didn’t expect that reading could have so many benefits.

  So deep down, Lao Zhoutou also wanted to send his family's children to school.

  However, there are too many children at home!

  Don’t say what they have now, they will have children in the future, and he still has two sons who are unmarried.

  If a precedent is set now, will the children born in the future be given away?

  If you have to send it, there is not so much money at home.

  Don’t look at the money in the family now that there are nearly 400 taels, which is really used for reading, this little money is not much at all.

  Moreover, the number of births is not the same as the number of births. Now the children have no conflicts. When they have one in the future, they should turn over this old account.

  No matter how small things are, it can be noisy.

Qian also felt that it was not good to pay money from the public, so she discussed with Lao Zhoutou and said, "In the future, the place where each house will spend money is still large. We can't always let them take money from us. I What this means is that this time we will divide some money and the family will change the rules. In the future, in addition to the output in the field, each house will turn in 50% of the money earned by each house, and keep the remaining 50%."

  Lao Zhou thought for a while, then nodded.

  So Lao Zhou’s family heard the good news the next day.

  Man Bao was so excited, he asked happily, "Father, how much can I divide?"

  "You have so much money, why are you so happy?"

   "I have a lot of money, but I also like money. Who is unhappy with more money?"

Old Zhou thought about it, and said: "I discussed with your mother last night, and just follow the last time. The boss and the second and the third have 15 taels, the old 40 taels, and the few of you are 50 taels. ."

  Everyone was happy.

Old Zhou said, "Although you have money, don't spend it randomly. Children need a lot of money to go to school. You don't need to buy books. Let Manbao copy a few copies. You can make do with it, but pen, ink and paper are necessary , Yantai, just use one for the two of you..."

  Man Bao: "...Father, they all go to school, I will copy for a long time."

  "What are you afraid of? Mr. will start the class after the Lantern Festival. Isn't this still ten days to go? Try it first and see if you can copy several copies."

  Man Bao felt that what she had just thought was really wrong, how could she think that Dad was generous, she was still so picky.

  She snorted and turned her head, and then said to Zhou Dalang and the others: "Brother, if you go to the county town, you can only buy pen and ink, I will buy paper."

  Manbao’s paper has always been bought from the mall. It is cheap and easy to use. It saves much money than buying it from a bookstore.

  So she can always use paper as she wants.

  Zhou Dalang and the others thought for a while and said: "We just give you the money. You can take some nephews and nieces to buy it. We don't understand this either."

  Lao Zhoutou immediately said: "Yes, you lead them, don't you know the bookstore's shopkeeper, you make him cheaper, our family buys these things."

  Man Bao’s school utensils were bought by her herself every time except for the first time she went to the bookstore to buy it from Tuesday Lang.

   is led by Chu Lang, Wu Lang and Sat Lang, or with Bai Shanbao. Anyway, she chooses the books, pens, inks, papers and inks she wants to buy.

  So Lao Zhou’s family members are very confident in her vision and bargaining ability in this regard.

  The main reason is that the bookstore's shopkeeper looks like a scholar, and when they meet him, they can't help being weak, and bargaining is weak.

  So it's better to study.

  After reading the book, no matter who you meet, you can bargain confidently.

  Man Bao didn't have any problems, and when he took the money from his brothers and sisters, he got an idea as soon as he rolled his eyes.

  The next day, she took a wad of paper and a few strings of copper coins and ran to find Bai Shanbao and Bai Erlang, and asked them enthusiastically, "Do you want to copy books to sell?"

  The two were very interested, "What book to copy?"

  "It is the simple "Thousand Characters Essay" and "The Analects of Confucius"," Man Bao said: "I brought both paper and money."

  Bai Shanbao and Bai Erlang are not short of money, but they are very interested in the activity of copying books to make money.

  Man Baole smiled, put the paper on the desk, and said: "One book with twenty essays."

  Bai Erlang nodded repeatedly and had already pulled the paper over, but Bai Shanbao knew how much a copy of "Thousand Characters" was sold in the bookstore.

  Hand-copied, the worst type cost 100 texts, not to mention the printed ones, the best paper cost 300 texts.

   Regardless of the former or the latter, Manbao’s price is almost comparable to the price of Chinese cabbage.

   So Bai Shanbao was unhappy, "You have too little of this."

   "A lot, I don't mind if there are ink spots in your book, or if your writing is not neat, as long as the words are good."

  Bai Shanbao thought, the request seemed to be very low upon hearing this.

Man Bao asked the bookstore’s shopkeeper about the rules and prices of copying books, so he said to the two friends with great confidence: "The bookstore’s requirements for books can be strict, there can be no typos, no ink spots, and They have to be neatly arranged and the characters have to look good..."

Man Bao used to copy a lot of books to Mr. Zhuang, and wanted to take some copying work from the bookstore. Unfortunately, after reading her words, the bookstore’s shopkeeper cruelly rejected her. .

  She consciously discussed copying books. She was already on Bai Shanbao and Bai Erlang. As a result, she didn't get the work of copying books from the shopkeeper, and they were even more impossible.

  Only she would use the books they copied.

   But she also has a request, "This is a book for teaching and educating people, you have to copy it, and no typos or omissions are allowed."

  Bai Shanbao was persuaded by her and nodded and said: "Don't worry, if there is a typo, we will copy it again."

  It is copying page by page anyway, if there is a typo on the page, just throw it away.

  Man Bao was happy, and took out his pen and ink from his bookcase, "I will copy it with you."

  Bai Shanbao is very curious, "What do you want so many books for?"

  "Give them to my nephews and nieces, they are going to school too."

  White Jiro couldn't help but stare, "Couldn't there be a dozen more people in that school?"

   "How can there be so many, five and six heads can't go up, only seven."
