Many classmates joined in the fun, as their fathers and brothers were also in the service. However, no matter how brave and mischievous they were, they dared not suggest going to serve with the adults.

When everyone heard Man Bao's idea, they dispersed in an instant, leaving only Man Bao, Bai Shanbao, and Bai Erlang behind.

The three children looked at each other, and Bai Erlang stood up, patting his bottom, and said, "I'm going back too."

Bai Shanbao grabbed him and said, "They don't know the way." Why are you leaving too?

Bai Erlang retorted, "I'm not leaving; I just think you're silly." "We have to go to school." How can we get to White Horse Pass?

Man Bao immediately reassured him, "You don't need to worry; the teacher will give us a break in a few days."

Bai Shanbao nodded, "The teacher has something to do at home, so this time we have a five-day break." Man Bao and I have already decided. One day we'll go to White Horse Pass, one day we'll play in the reeds by the river, one day we'll go to the mountains, one day we'll go to my house, and one day we'll go to Man Bao's house.

The schedule was packed.

Upon hearing about the break, Bai Erlang perked up. He excitedly said, "I remember, I remember, last winter we also had a five-day break, but I just couldn't recall the exact timing."

Man Bao scorned him, "It's the anniversary of the teacher's wife's death." The teacher has to go home to be with his son. I remembered it a long time ago. Oh, your memory is really poor.

She only remembered the event, not the time. Last year, the school informed her about the break.

Bai Erlang didn't mind her sarcasm, as he was now solely focused on the break. He said, "White Horse Pass is not fun at all; it's better to go to the county town. "I'll take you there."

Perhaps because of this shared secret, Bai Erlang appeared more pleasing to both of them.

However, Bai Shanbao was a person of persistence. She said, "No, we've already planned it; we can't change it." Do you even know the way?

Man Bao doubted him, "Are you sure you remember the way?"

"Who said I don't remember?" Bai Erlang quickly tried to recall the way to White Horse Pass.

As he thought, he began to feel guilty. Seeing Bai Shanbao and Man Bao looking at him suspiciously, he immediately pointed in the direction the laborers had left and shouted, "Just follow this road all the way, and you'll get there." "Of course, I know."

Man Bao and Bai Shanbao were satisfied. "They said, 'Good, then we'll go together.'"

Bai Erlang didn't really want to go, but he didn't dare to suggest otherwise, fearing that the two would look down on him if they realized he didn't know the way.

In frustration, he said, "What if the three of us are carried away by wolves?"

To prevent children from running around, adults would often scare them by saying there were wolves in the mountains and monsters in the water, and anyone who got close would be carried away.

Even the Bai family was no exception.

Man Bao said, "Don't worry, I'll have my fifth and sixth brothers protect us."

She also took a candy out of her pocket and gave it to him, saying, "Here, I'll treat you to some candy." "You must lead the way for us that day."

Bai Shanbao also took out a piece of pastry from her bag and put it in his hand, "I'll treat you to some pastry too."

Bai Erlang looked at the items in his hand and swallowed hard.

He decided to eat first and then agree. So he ate, and naturally, he had to agree.

Man Bao and Bai Shanbao were satisfied, holding hands as they headed back to school.

Mr. Zhuang watched a group of children running towards him from a distance. He looked into the classroom and noticed that his most troublesome and proudest students were absent. He decided to linger at the door and wait.

Man Bao and Bai Shanbao ran up to him, holding hands, and were very happy to see their teacher, without any guilt about their plans.

Seeing the happy faces of the two children, Mr. Zhuang couldn't help but feel a little joy, but still asked with a stern expression, "Where is Bai Cheng? Did you bully him?"

Man Bao said, "I'm friends with him now, and I didn't bully him."

She also said confidently, "I even gave him candy to eat."

Bai Shanbao pointed behind them and said, "He's eating candy back there."

Mr. Zhuang patted their heads and ushered them into the classroom.

Bai Erlang returned slowly, and Mr. Zhuang frowned at his lack of enthusiasm but refrained from scolding him. Once everyone had arrived, he began the class.

Mr. Zhuang had only informed Man Bao and Bai Shanbao about the holiday, and it wasn't intentional. He had accidentally let it slip while giving them special treatment.

The students were only informed about the holiday the day before, whereas the parents had been aware for a long time.

After Mr. Zhuang's announcement, the students cheered, and the classroom was filled with laughter. Throughout history, holidays have consistently brought joy to people, regardless of the time period.

Mr. Zhuang smiled as he collected the books and took his two proudest students to the next room. From the desk, he took out a thin booklet and handed it to them, saying, "These are some stories I translated during this time." Read these stories over the next five days, and make sure to remember them. "When I come back, I will ask you what you've learned."

Mr. Zhuang's special treatment often involved very interesting stories covering a wide range of topics. For a few days, he observed Man Bao reading a medical book. After school, he took the two children to the mountains and taught them about plants that could help stop bleeding, improve blood circulation, and promote relaxation of the mind.

Bai Shanbao took the booklet confidently and assured Mr. Zhuang that they would read it seriously.

Satisfied, Mr. Zhuang stroked his beard and let them go play.

He would be going home early the next morning, so he needed to pack some things now.

Bai Shanbao took the book and ran out with Man Bao. They found a soft patch of grass and sat down, opening the book to read together.

The two children knew quite a few characters, and although they couldn't write very well, they had no problem recognizing them. Their favorite thing to read was storybooks.

Man Bao had already finished reading the story of the Ten Worst Fathers and even shared it with Bai Shanbao.

They loved listening to Mr. Zhuang's stories, so they were engrossed in reading, but this did not affect their plan to visit White Horse Pass the next day.

Early in the morning, Man Bao quietly entered the kitchen and asked Xiao Qian to make pancakes for her. She wanted to go out and play with Bai Shanbao.

Xiao Qian was also concerned that her younger sister might be mistreated at the Bai family, so she prepared a large pancake for her.

Man Bao took the pancake and went to find Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother.

Zhou Wulang didn't know what she was up to, but he followed her.

During the five-day break, his sister might have come up with another lucrative idea to earn money.

When Man Bao arrived at the school, Bai Shanbao was already carrying a small bag and pulling Bai Erlang, waiting for her.

Upon seeing Man Bao, Bai Erlang appeared distressed, while Bai Shanbao ran up excitedly, exclaiming, "We've been waiting for ages; you're so slow."

Man Bao offered her a large pancake, saying, "I was waiting for my sister to make pancakes. Here, please have some."

Bai Shanbao also set down her small bag and opened it to display the items she had taken from the kitchen. "I also brought a lot of food, so please help yourself."

Zhou Wulang and Zhou Liulang looked at the pancakes, buns, and pastries, and their mouths watered. It turned out they weren't going to make money, but they were still very happy.
