Having enrolled, Bai Shanbao was now officially a student, and Mr. Zhuang simply left him at the academy, instructing him to familiarize himself with the classroom first, while he took Manbao and Bai Er away.
Having offloaded a disciple, Mr. Zhuang also felt quite relieved.
He didn't return home but went straight to the bookstore. Looking at the bustling shop, he said, "I'm going to browse some books, Manbao, help Shanbao pick out the books he is missing, and later let the shopkeeper tally the bill, so he can pay on the way back."
He added, "How are you doing with the homework I assigned to you?"
Manbao's scalp tightened, and she immediately said, "We have been writing."
Mr. Zhuang nodded, "Although I don't require you to submit it immediately, you shouldn't slack off. If there's anything you don't understand, ask me."
