The God of War Duke from a matriarchal country was reborn in the 1950s. Before she even opened her eyes, she heard that her fiancé had been snatched away!
This was absolutely intolerable. Wit...
Upon hearing this, Xiaoman's father immediately wanted the postman to read the letter to him. He wanted to see if Han Bin had found Xiaoman a boyfriend.
Xiaoman took the letter directly: "Thank you."
You're welcome, goodbye.
"goodbye."
Xiaoman's mother and father thought the same thing: "Why didn't you ask someone to read it to us?"
Xiaoman put the letter in her pocket: "Xiaoxue and Xiaohan will be back tonight, let them read it."
"Isn't Mother just eager to know what's in the letter?"
"I'm going to buy baby formula."
"Buy less, that stuff is expensive."
"Um."
As soon as Xiaoman left, Xiaoman's mother scolded Xiaoman's father: "It's all your fault. If you hadn't made me give her the money the Liu family returned, she wouldn't have had the money to buy a horse. And if she hadn't bought one, she would have bought a newborn one."
"It's my fault, it's my fault. Hehe..."
Xiaoman's mother glared at Xiaoman's father: "Just seeing you makes me angry. Go down to the field."
"Okay, get down. Get down. Hehe..."
After leaving the village, Xiaoman tore open the letter.
The letter was indeed written by Han Bin. Han Bin said that he would be promoted to regimental commander after returning. He also said that he was looking for a partner for Xiaoman and told her not to rush into marriage.
Xiaoman put it away after reading it, not taking Han Bin's words to heart at all.
Xiaoman spent a lot of money buying horses yesterday, and her pockets are almost empty. After reading the letter, Xiaoman first went to the mountain and hunted more than a dozen rabbits before heading to the county. After arriving in the county, she sold the rabbits and bought three bags of milk powder.
Xiaoman looked at the milk powder in her hand, thinking that Xiaohei would finish it in two days. She could hunt wild boars, but this was different from where she lived. Back home, it was perfectly normal for women to carry wild boars to sell. If she were to carry a wild boar to sell here, people would definitely gather around and stare.
She couldn't carry the wild boar to sell, and small game wouldn't fetch much money. So… Xiaoman turned and went to the bookstore. When she came out, she had several books about herbs in her hands.
She wanted to pick ginseng. But she didn't recognize it. Her ancestors had many ginseng roots, but those were either gifts from the Empress or presents from others. They were all processed; she truly didn't know what ginseng from the mountains looked like.
After arriving home, Xiaoman first made a bowl of milk powder for her mother: "Mom, drink milk powder."
"No, I'm not a little kid anymore."
"I asked, and it turns out adults can drink this too."
"I won't drink it then, it's too expensive."
"It's okay, I only bought a small amount this time. You can try it first."
"I won't try it."
Xiaoman picked up the bowl: "Really not going to drink?"
"I won't drink it."
"Then I'll fall down."
"You silly child." Xiaoman's mother took the bowl and took a small sip. "This stuff doesn't taste good either, why is it so expensive?" Although it didn't taste good, she was still happy that her daughter wanted her to try it.
Xiaoman smiled and said, "The girl selling things said this is good for your health. Adults and children can drink it. By the way, where's Dad?"
"They've gone down to the ground."
"Then I'll go feed Little Black."
"Go."
When Xiaoman's father came back from the fields, Xiaoman made him a bowl of soup. When her younger siblings came back, Xiaoman made them a bowl of soup too.
After finishing her meal, Xiaoman called her younger siblings over: "Take out your books, I want to learn to read." The original owner of this body was illiterate, and if she didn't learn, she wouldn't be able to read openly.
Xiaoxue: "You want to learn to read?"
"Um."
How old are you?
Xiaoman glanced at her: "What? You have a problem with that?"
"No, no. Hehe... I... I'm just afraid you won't be able to learn it."
Xiaohan: "Sis is so amazing, how could you not learn it? Sis, I'll teach you."
"Okay. You teach me, and Xiaoxue will teach Dad and Mom."
"What?!" Xiaoxue's eyes widened in surprise: "Dad and Mom want to learn too?"
"Hmm." Xiaoman looked at Xiaoxue and said, "If you don't want to teach, then don't go to school."
"I'll teach, I'll teach."
“If you don’t teach properly,” Xiaoman stopped and looked at Xiaoxue. Xiaoxue quickly grabbed Xiaoman’s arm and pleaded, “I’ll definitely teach properly, sister, please don’t stop me from going to school. Sister, sister…”
"Alright, alright, as long as you teach well, I'll let you go to school. Also, if you do well in your studies, I'll give you a big red envelope during the New Year."
Xiaoxue: "Really?"
Xiaohan: "How do you know if you've learned well?"
Xiaoxue: "Did you get first place?"
Xiaohan: "Getting first place is too difficult. Top five, sis, if I get into the top five, you have to give me a red envelope."
How many people are in your class?
Xiaohan: "There are thirty people in our class."
Xiaoxue: "There are twenty-one people in our class."
Xiaoxue thought for a moment and said, "I've always been fair in my rewards and punishments. If you get into the top five, I'll give you a red envelope. If you get into the bottom five, you'll have to come back and help your parents with the chores."
Xiaohan: "Sister, I'm a boy."
Xiaoxue: "Sister, I went halfway there."
Xiaoxue looked at her younger siblings: "What's wrong with boys? If boys don't study hard, they'd better come back and farm. What's wrong with leaving halfway? You're a girl, how can you..." Xiaoman wanted to say how could she be worse than boys, but then she realized she was being sexist: "You're a girl, you should study even harder so that your parents will continue to support you."
Xiaohan: "Sister, if I don't do well in my studies, you...you really want me to go back to farming?"
"Um."
"Father won't agree."
"Father will agree. Xiaoxue, go and call Father here."
"good."
A moment later, Xiaoman's father came in: "Daughter, you were looking for me?"
"Hmm." Xiaoman recounted what had just happened.
Xiao Han: "Dad, if I don't do well on the exam, will you let me come back to farm?"
"Um."
Xiao Han didn't believe it: "Father?!"
Xiaoman's father patted his son: "Calling me 'Dad' won't do any good. If you don't study hard, you'll come back and work in the fields with me."
Parents often scare their children like this. Xiaoman's father thought that Xiaoman was scaring her younger siblings, so he went along with what Xiaoman said.
He didn't know. Xiaoman wasn't just bluffing. She felt that it was better for them to come back and work in the fields than to go to school and not study properly. After working in the fields for a while, they would realize the value of studying. If they still didn't understand, she would find another way to discipline them.
Xiaoxue looked at her father and then at her younger brother. If her brother didn't study hard, he would have to come back to farm. So she said, "Sister, I will definitely study hard. Father, I will teach you to read now."
"What? You're going to teach me to read?"
"Yes, my sister said that you and Mom need to learn to read too."
"This... Xiaoman, how old is your father? Can he still read?"
"Recognize as many as you can."
"this……"
Xiaoxue: "Dad, learning to read isn't hard. Really. Mom, come in, I'll teach you to read."
Xiaoman's mother came in. "What words do you recognize? Oh dear, letter, letter, Xiaoman, quickly take out the letter."
Xiaoman took out the letter. Xiaoman's mother gave the letter to her son: "Quickly read it to your mother."
"good."
After hearing this, Xiaoman's mother was a little disappointed.
Xiaoxue: "Mom, let me teach you to read."
"Can you read?"
"Hmm. You see, if you could read, you would have known what was written in the letter long ago."
"this……"
Xiaoman's father: "If they want us to acknowledge the child, then we should."
Xiaoman's mother glared at Xiaoman's father: "You spoil the child."
"hey-hey……"
While Xiaoman's family was studying, Commander Wang of the military region called Han Bin to his office: "Han Bin, you've been reported."
"Report me?! Why?!"
