When harvesting grain every autumn, Li Zheng would select a few people from the prime of life in each village to transport the whole village's grain to the county.

This year Liu Bai served as the captain of the Liujiacun grain transportation team. He went to Kaiyang County and bought a candied haws for Jinbao and his niece Jinhua.

The brother and sister show off in the village.

At that time, the four brothers and sisters, Dalang and his sister, who were still poor at home and whose mother and father were indifferent, yearned for this candied haws.

This time, not only can the four Dalang brothers and sisters eat candied haws, but their father and stepmother also take them to the city to play together.

The four brothers and sisters got up from sleep the next day, said hurriedly to Qin Yao who was exercising in the yard, and ran down the hillside in a swarm towards the village well.

Liu Jinbao and Liu Jinhua were both playing there. The four brothers and sisters walked over and said that they were going to the city in a few days.

Liu Jinbao and Liu Jinhua didn't believe it and said they were lying.

Dalang said: My father has gone to the village chief to borrow an ox cart. It's true.

It's quite a bit of a show off.

Siniang also said: We will go to the city to buy candied haws to eat.

The children around heard this and were filled with envy.

I asked Siniang if she could give them a taste of candied haws.

Also, please tell Dalang Erlang if you come back when you see something delicious and fun when you go to the city, you must tell them.

The four siblings have never been surrounded by so many peers, and no one wanted to play with them before.

Except for Jin Bao and Jin Hua, I occasionally talk to them because of their relatives.

In fact, children are the most snobbish. They don't understand the cover-up and hypocrisy of adults. They speak out when they have something to say, and their malicious intentions are often not concealed.

Now we see the four Liu brothers and sisters living in a tile-roofed house, and their parents even took them to the county town and all came over.

But children don't care so much, and it's true when they are nice to you.

Soon, Siniang followed cousin Jinhua and played house with other little girls in the village.

The three brothers went to the river with Liu Jinbao and other boys, each of them broke a branch and threatened to catch fish.

The river water is now much colder than a month ago, and they only dare to stand on the rocks.

Dalang couldn't spear the fish before, but he actually did it this time.

Dad! Auntie!

The three brothers ran home in a hurry, still carrying the fish that had been stabbed to death.

Dalang said excitedly: I caught a fish!

Liu Ji unexpectedly came up to take a look at the three small fish, which were three fingers wide. First fry them until they are crispy, add some water, add some vegetables, and make a vegetable and fish soup. We can serve meat tonight.

He was so greedy that he took a sip of saliva.

Thanks to his good-looking face, anyone else would have thought he was vulgar.

Qin Yao is not surprised. Dalang has the patience to not give up even if he can't catch fish. After many repetitions, it is inevitable that quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes.

But if a child is happy, he still needs to be praised.

Qin Yao smiled at Dalang and said, It depends on you whether our family can tolerate meat.

The little boy scratched his head in embarrassment and nodded sharply, Yeah! He will work hard.

In the next few days, when Qin Yao got up early to exercise every day, she specially called Dalang and Erlang.

Run around the village twice and come back.

She herself was not blushing and out of breath, but the two little ones were panting from exhaustion, which was a long way behind her.

Qin Yao was already sitting at the door of her house eating steamed buns before the two of them went onto the bridge.

After running in the morning, after having breakfast and resting for a while, the four brothers and sisters sat in a row in the main room. Qin Yao took out a board, took out a burned firewood stick from the stove, and started from the first character of the Three-Character Sutra. Teach three words in one sentence a day.

Liu Jiman raised his eyebrows, knowing that Qin Yao was also literate, but he didn't know that she actually planned to teach the children to read.

It's not that he doesn't know how to read, but he understands a truth.

If you can't give him everything, it's better not to let him know it from the beginning.

If you remain ignorant, you will not suffer from not getting more in the future.

For people like us, there is no need to know how to read. Liu Ji held a bowl of rice soup and leaned against the kitchen door while drinking and muttering.

Qin Yao had good ears and listened attentively. She reminded the disturbed Dalang and Erlang to pay attention. She raised her head and glanced at Liu Ji dangerously.

“Knowledge that can be used in every aspect, you say it’s useless?”

Liu Ji lowered his eyes and drank the soup without saying a word.

Reading doesn’t necessarily mean reading out one’s fame and fortune, right?

Immediately, he began to laugh at Qin Yao's handwriting, which meant that his handwriting was better than hers.

This guy just hasn't been beaten for a few days, and he's drifting off again.

Qin Yao raised the fire stick in her hand and threw it, hitting Liu Ji's knees accurately, almost causing him to kneel down.

This time the man is honest.

There was no pen and paper at home, so the four Dalang brothers and sisters each had a small stick and practiced on the wooden board first.

Not to mention that new brains are easy to use, and the four siblings learned pretty quickly.

But forget it quickly.

Qin Yao was able to read and write the test before going to bed the day before.

I woke up early the next morning and forgot about it.

Reading is meant to be repeated and strengthened over and over again. On the third day, Qin Yao relearned everything from the second day to the first day.

Erlang began to complain, saying that he would rather run laps.

Qin Yao never gets used to it, Then you go ahead.

Erlang: .

I, I... I'd better study.

Liu Ji, who was squatting in the stove and warming himself to avoid laziness, couldn't help but burst into laughter.

When they returned to the room that night, Erlang and the twins were lying on the bed complaining about how difficult it was to read.

Dalang quickly pulled them up and said seriously:

No one else could ask for such an opportunity, but we all have it. My stepmother taught us martial arts privately and also taught us how to read and write. If Jinbao and Jinhua knew about it, they would be envious of us, but you don't want to study.

After hearing this, Erlang and the three of them thought it made sense, so they should keep insisting. If they could really be as powerful as their stepmother and could hunt bears, that would be awesome!

With this thought in mind, the little guys corrected their attitudes and learned with care. When they woke up the next day, they would remind each other what they had learned yesterday in the room and strengthen their memory.

In the past few days before entering the city, the four brothers and sisters had learned the four words people are inherently good by nature, similar in nature, but far apart in habits.

But the meaning of these four sentences is a bit difficult for them to understand.

Seeing that Qin Yao was distressed by this, Liu Jixian reminded him out of boredom: Why not start with the objects in our home? It's easy to remember and understand.

Qin Yao immediately looked at him, yes, You are right, Liu Ji. From now on, you will teach, and I will be responsible for assessing your learning results every week.

It was only after Qin Yao came that the family understood that there were seven days in a week.

Although they didn't understand the reason, they believed that as long as it was said by the stepmother, it would be correct. The four Liu Dalang brothers and sisters were very used to this statement.

Liu Ji naturally understood, and slapped his mouth in annoyance, telling you to talk too much!

He agreed honestly on his face.

But when he turned around, he met the distrustful eyes of the four children.

Liu Ji snorted coldly. He wanted to do it perfunctorily, but he suddenly changed his focus. He wanted to let these four unfilial sons know how powerful their father was!
