Ye Changrui scratched his head and said, “When we first went to the private school, I would wait for our class to end on a sunny day and lean against the window to listen to the teacher’s class for a while.
"The teacher found out and chased her away, saying that girls didn't need to learn to read and write."
When Mrs. Ye heard this, her heart suddenly tightened.
"Why didn't you tell Auntie about this?" asked Mrs. Ye.
"We were all very angry at the time, but Qingtian said that when she grows up a little bit, you should send her to a girls' school in the capital.
"She said that the school there was different from the private school in the village, and that all the students who could read and write were girls.
"We saw that she didn't take it seriously, so we just let it go."
Ye Changrui looked at Mrs. Ye with some concern and said, "Auntie, did we do something wrong?"
Mrs. Ye quickly smiled and said, "No, I thought Qingtian was bullied at first, I'm glad he's okay.
"Okay, eat the rest before it gets cold. Finish your article quickly and go back to bed."
"Okay, thank you, Auntie."
Mrs. Ye came out of the west room, feeling very unhappy.
Ever since Qingtian came to the Ye family, she has been playing with her brothers. Suddenly, the family sent all the children except her to school, and she didn't even think of caring whether Qingtian would feel empty inside.
She couldn't help but blame the private school teacher in her heart. The child was just leaning against the window and listening to a few words. So what?
Besides, even the imperial court had set up schools for girls, so why did he say that girls didn’t need to learn to read and write?
Mrs. Ye was very angry, but when she entered the room and saw that Qingtian had already made the bedding for both of them and was lying on the kang waiting for her to come back to sleep, her heart suddenly warmed up.
"Qingtian is getting stronger and stronger now. He can even make the mattress and quilt by himself. He is so amazing." Mrs. Ye praised.
"Mom, I saw the characters my brothers learned today, and I know them all. I'll teach you tomorrow."
"Great!" Sister Ye climbed onto the kang, hugged Qingtian in her arms, and said, "Our Qingtian is so talented. When she goes to the girls' school in the capital, she will definitely know a lot of words!"
Qingtian's face turned red from the praise, and she threw herself into Mrs. Ye's arms.
"Why does mom always praise me?"
"I praise you because you are good at everything. Otherwise, I wouldn't know what to praise you for!"
"Then I will praise my mother every day from now on."
"What's there to praise about mother?"
"There are so many!" Qingtian counted on his fingers, "Mom is beautiful and gentle, her cooking is delicious, and she is so, so, so... good to me!"
I didn’t know how to describe Qingtian, so I could only say many “special” words in one breath.
After the mother and daughter praised each other, they hugged each other and laughed.
Xiao Ye, who was lying on the ground, heard the laughter, stood up and came over, howling twice.
Mrs. Ye tucked Qingtian into bed, then reached out and patted Xiaoye on the head, saying, "Stop yelling so late at night. Everyone is asleep. It would be bad if you disturb them."
Qingtian also stretched out his little hand, touched Xiaoye's nose and said, "Xiaoye, go to bed quickly too. We'll go out and play tomorrow."
After hearing Qingtian's words, Xiaoye rubbed her hand with his head, then quietly returned to his own mat and lay down.
The room instantly became quiet. Mrs. Ye hummed a little tune and patted the sunny sky. The mother and daughter fell asleep almost at the same time.
Xiao Ye suddenly raised his head, pricked up his ears and turned them around, catching a glimpse of the sound coming from next door.
It quickly determined that it had nothing to do with its home and was not dangerous, so it rested its head on its front paws and closed its eyes, but its ears were still perked up, paying attention to all the sounds it could hear around it.
Ye Qinggang from next door sat down on a chair exhausted. He had just scolded his two children, and then asked his eldest son to take his youngest son to bed quickly, while he sat in the main room in a daze.
After he had taken care of the two elderly people in the morning, it was almost time to start preparing lunch.
Fortunately, there were some leftovers and steamed buns at home, which I heated up in the pot and made into a meal.
After lunch, he didn't care about anything else and hurriedly took the dirty bedding to the river to wash.
Ye Qinggang had never done this kind of work before, and he didn't know that he should take the mattress apart to wash it, so he just threw it into the river. The mattress, which was soaked with river water, was so heavy that it almost pulled him into the water.
Fortunately, other people in the village came to wash clothes and gave him some advice, and he managed to wash the dirty bedding and clothes.
Ye Qinggang's hands were so cold that he couldn't feel them anymore. He didn't even bother to wash them. He just twisted them and took them home to hang them up.
Because it's time to cook dinner.
At this time, all the leftovers at home had been eaten, and there were only pickles left besides the steamed buns.
Ye Qinggang could not cook and did not have the energy to do so, so he cooked a pot of thin rice porridge just like he did in the morning, and then the whole family had some steamed buns with pickles.
After he finished feeding his parents, he came out and saw that the two children probably didn't like the food, so they didn't eat much and just left it on the table.
Ye Qinggang sat down alone, cleaned up the cakes that his son had not finished, and drank a bellyful of rice soup, which was his dinner.
After he cleared the table and took the dishes away, he realized that the kitchen was already a mess.
No one has cleared the dishes since last night.
Adding the dishes and chopsticks used for today's three meals, the table is almost full.
If you don't clean up now, there will be no dishes to use tomorrow morning.
