Chapter 2128 I'm Going to School

Otherwise, how could a little kid have three taels of silver on him?

Shu Yu was taken aback, looking at the clothes in her arms with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

She handed the clothes back to Aunt Hong, saying, "Lele bought this for you specially with his money. He spent a long time choosing it and put a lot of thought into it. He was holding it tightly all the way here. If you don't accept it, Lele will be sad."

“This, this…” Aunt Hong looked at the little guy.

Xiao Song nodded vigorously, "I'm afraid my aunt will be cold. If she doesn't wear this, my feelings won't be conveyed. I want her to wear it so that she'll think of me whenever she sees this dress."

He chattered away, but his words were warm and considerate, making Aunt Hong's eyes sting with tears.

Um?

etc……

Aunt Hong suddenly widened her eyes, "Gouwa, you can talk now?"

Yes, he just called himself his great-aunt, and he spoke without any difficulty, his voice clear and tender.

Aunt Hong was so caught up in the joy of seeing him that she didn't realize something was wrong until she saw him talking in a rapid-fire manner.

Back then, Gouwa was two and a half years old and couldn't say a single word, but now he can speak so fluently.

Aunt Hong looked at Shu Yu with surprise, and the latter smiled and said, "Yes, he could talk all along. We took him to see a doctor, and the doctor said there was nothing wrong with his throat, and he would be fine after some exercise."

She didn't mention that Xiao Songle had suffered some trauma while living in the Hong family, which caused him to be reluctant to speak.

Otherwise, Aunt Hong would definitely feel guilty.

Standing at the door, Madam Yu pursed her lips. She had thought that it was because Gouwa's father was mentally challenged that the child also had a defect.

Aunt Hong was overjoyed. "Good, good, it's Gouwa's good fortune to be with you. Look at how fluent and clear his speech is now, even better than those older kids."

Little Song laughed and said, "Auntie, not only can I speak fluently, but I can also recite books."

"endorsement?"

“Yes, my uncle started teaching me to read and write two years ago, and last year he sent me to school to begin my formal education. I can already recite the Three Character Classic. Aunt, would you like to hear it? I’ll recite it for you.”

Aunt Hong was excited. She had thought that Gouwa was doing well, that he was able to eat and dress warmly, and that he had medicine when he was sick. She never expected that he could go to school so early.

She nodded repeatedly, "Listen, listen."

Little Song Le, with his hands behind his back, coughed lightly and began reciting his lessons, shaking his head.

Shu Yu, “…” Is this how your teachers teach? Doesn’t it make your head spin?

Aunt Hong listened with great interest. Although she couldn't understand it, it didn't stop her from knowing how amazing Xiao Song Le was. Look, in just one year, he had already memorized the entire Three Character Classic.

Those outside the door were also astonished; this Gouwa's luck had truly turned around.

It's a pity. If he had met this cousin a few years earlier when his father, Song Dazhuang, was still alive, Song Dazhuang's illness might have been curable, and his life would have been better.

After reciting the text, Xiao Song looked expectantly at Aunt Hong, who clapped her hands and said, "Wow, you're amazing! You actually memorized it all."

"Yes, I will study hard in the future and become the top scholar in the imperial examination."

Aunt Hong laughed heartily, "Great! Then your great-aunt will be waiting for you to pass the imperial examination with top honors, and parade through the streets on horseback in glory."

After several conversations, the estrangement caused by not seeing each other for three years had dissipated, and Xiao Song was no longer nervous. The two got along better and better as they talked.
