"Sister, what are we having for dinner tonight? It smells so good!"
When Xiaokang came home from school, he smelled the aroma of braised rabbit in the kitchen. He hadn't felt hungry just now, but now he felt ravenous.
Tian An winked at him and said mysteriously, "We're having braised rabbit tonight."
Xiaokang's eyes lit up when he heard about eating rabbit. He had been thinking about it for a long time! Unfortunately, the rabbits were too small to eat before.
Seeing the little guy constantly looking towards the kitchen, Tian An reached out and took his cold little hand with a smile, and took him towards the main room.
"The rabbit will take a while to cook, so I'll take you to try on your gloves first."
As soon as Xiaokang heard Tian An talking about gloves, his attention was immediately attracted.
"Are the gloves ready?"
"Of course."
After arriving at the main hall, Tian An took the pair of gloves he had made for Xiao Kang and put them on him himself. He also put on a scarf and a hat for him.
The little guy touched the gloves and the scarf out of curiosity, and then took off the hat to look at it. He was having a lot of fun.
Then, he ran back to his room without thinking about what he was thinking. Then, he ran back again after a while.
She excitedly pulled Tian An and said, "Sister, these gloves are really good. They are so warm to wear! And I just tried them, and they don't affect my writing at all!"
And this hat covers my ears, so I don’t feel cold at all!
My neck is also warmed by this scarf, it is so cozy!"
Tian An helped him take off the scarf and handed it to him, saying, "You don't need to wear a scarf at home. It will be inconvenient when you eat later. Take it to your room and put it away. Wear it when you go out."
Xiaokang was very obedient and hurried back to his room holding his scarf.
After putting away her own scarf, she asked Tian An, "Sister, what about Yiming's brother-in-law and Mr. Han's? Are they all done? And is yours done too?"
Seeing Xiaokang looking so worried, Lan Niang couldn't help but jokingly said, "Master Xiaokang, you're such a caring child. Everyone else's work is done! Do you want to check it yourself?"
Xiaokang blushed a little, but still said in a serious tone like a little adult: "Then I'll take a look!"
Lan Niang retracted her smile, stood up, and placed Zhao Yiming and Mr. Han's gloves, scarves, and hats in front of him with both hands, saying sternly:
"Master Xiaokang, please take a look."
Xiaokang looked at his sister's encouraging eyes and began to check those things confidently.
After checking each piece and making sure there were no problems, he said, "Not bad, very well done."
Tian An asked from the side: "Is there a reward?"
Xiaokang scratched his head in confusion: "Is there any more reward?"
Tian An nodded and looked at him: "Of course, everything must have rules. If you do well, there will be rewards, and if you do wrong, there will be punishments. Just like when you study, if you don't study well, the teacher will punish you."
When Xiaokang heard Tian An say that the teacher was going to punish him, he retorted, "Sister, I study very hard and the teacher has never punished me."
Tian An replied, "Then you should study hard. Did the teacher praise you?"
Xiao Kang nodded confidently: "Yes, every time I memorize well, the teacher praises me!"
Then, he suddenly realized something and imitated the adults, holding his chin with one hand and thinking about what to reward Lan Niang with.
Tian An didn't interrupt him and let him think.
After a while, he suddenly had an idea and ran back to his room. Without keeping anyone waiting for long, he brought out a piece of calligraphy he had written himself.
"Keep improving and make persistent efforts. I hope Shopkeeper Lan will work even harder in the future."
Lan Niang took Xiao Kang's letter with her stunned hands: "Thank you for the praise and reward, Master Xiao Kang. Lan Niang will do her best to live up to your expectations."
Seeing Xiaokang nodded seriously, Tian An held her forehead and the corners of her mouth twitched. She never dreamed that this little guy could come up with such a reward.
After having a delicious dinner of braised rabbit meat, Tian An went to use Xiaokang’s study.
There was no way. Her room was requisitioned to make skin care products. Mr. Han was giving lectures to Zhao Yiming in his study, so Xiaokang was the only one left.
At first, they thought that since their family was small, building these houses should be enough, but they didn't expect that now there are more and more people and there are not enough houses.
After Xiaokang finished writing the large characters assigned by the teacher, he came up to Tian An and looked at the card she was writing on and said, "Sister, what are you writing?"
Although Xiaokang had been in school for a while, he was still a child and could not learn as fast as Tian An, an adult. Therefore, he did not recognize many characters and could not understand what Tian An wrote.
"Sister is writing the invitation!"
Xiaokang looked at the card on the desk seriously and said, "Sister, is this an invitation to the opening of the Rouge Shop?"
Tian An wrote as he said, "That's right! Invite your sister Yalan and the others to join in the fun!"
Xiaokang's eyes lit up: "Sister, can I go then?"
Tian An stopped writing and didn't say yes or no. He just said, "Go ask Mr. Han. If he agrees to give you leave, I will agree to let you go."
Hearing this, Xiaokang's shoulders slumped and he sighed, "Then I definitely can't go. My husband won't agree to give me leave."
Hearing Xiaokang sigh, Tian An turned around and looked at him, and said in a slightly serious tone: "Xiaokang, the master is strict with you for your own good. If you want to go, you should go and talk to the master. You didn't even go and said that the master would not agree. Did you fight for it?"
It seemed that Tian An's tone was a bit harsh. Xiaokang looked up at Tian An timidly: "What if I go and tell him, and he still doesn't agree?"
Tian An sighed and patted his head. He said softly, "Xiao Kang, if you want something, you have to find a way to get it. Even if I give you a handful of seeds, you have to plant them before you know whether they are vegetables or radishes!"
Xiaokang seemed to be lost in thought, and after a while he asked tentatively, "Sister, do you mean that I have to ask the master before I can get the answer?"
Seeing that he understood, Tian An nodded with satisfaction and praised: "Xiaokang is really smart, you understand as soon as your sister tells you."
Xiaokang blushed slightly at the praise and said, "Sister, I'll go find the teacher later. I have to copy the text for tomorrow's reading first."
Knowing that Tian An and Zhao Yiming were copying books for the children in the village, Xiaokang also wanted to help. Unfortunately, he didn't know many words and his handwriting was not good. He was afraid that the students would not be able to understand what he copied.
Seeing that he was frustrated because he couldn't help, Tian An asked him to copy it himself.
So Xiaokang would copy the text to be learned the next day the night before and bring it to the village school the next day.
This is equivalent to previewing the material in advance, so he can quickly grasp the knowledge when the teacher lectures the next day.
Half an hour later, Xiaokang finished copying the book. He thought Zhao Yiming should be almost done, so he went to find Mr. Han.
