After dinner.
"Children, it's almost noon. Go to the main hall and study. Mother will test you later."
After giving the instructions, Xiao Lingyu went to the kitchen to slice and dice the remaining five large steamed buns, then put them into a pan and stir-fried them until crispy. He then took them out and put the steamed bun cubes into a raw silk bag and beat them with a rolling pin through the raw silk bag.
"Mother, Uncle Sanzhu has finished his work, let me take over."
Su Ningan took the rolling pin from Xiao Lingyu's hand.
"Bang, bang, bang"
Suningan made some amazing moves, and the pots and bowls on the chopping board shook three times.
"It's ok, Boss."
Xiao Lingyu checked and found that the steamed bun bran was crushed into fine pieces, so he poured it directly into the plate without filtering.
"Mother, what do you do with the steamed bun crumbs?"
"It's delicious food. You'll find out tonight."
"Oh, by the way, mother, I will do the rough hammering and pounding work from now on."
Xiao Lingyu put the steamed bun chaff away, rubbed his head, and said with a smile: "Big brother, mother knows that you are filial. However, if you read or write the sixteen words incorrectly in the test later, mother will still punish you."
Su Ning'an's heart beat rapidly, "Mom, please don't punish me by not eating."
Xiao Lingyu took Su Ning'an back to the main room, where Su Ningjie, Su Ningwen and Xiao Xier were gesturing with their fingers on the table.
"Children, mother is going to test you now. Who will go first?"
Su Ningwen was the first to raise his hand.
Xiao Lingyu thought that Su Ningwen's vocal cords had not yet recovered.
She can only read and he can write.
"Third brother, yesterday mother read you through the Thousand Character Essay. Today I'm testing you on the entire essay. Can you handle it?"
Su Ningwen nodded without a doubt.
"Okay, let's start now. I'll read a sentence and you write it down."
Xiao Lingyu looked at the other three. "Big brother, second brother, Xiao Xi'er, listen carefully too. After you've all learned, mother will ask you to recite the whole thing from beginning to end. Are you afraid?"
Su Ning'an, Su Ningjie and Xiao Xier all looked different when they heard this.
Su Ning'an thought that studying was more tiring than carrying water or chopping wood, but in order to avoid being cheated when hunting for money in the future, he still had to study hard and learn to read.
"Mother, I'm not afraid."
Xiao Lingyu looked at Su Ningjie, "What about you?"
Su Ningjie hurriedly said, "Mother, I'm not afraid either."
After all, he is going to run a school and make a lot of money in the future. How can he not endure this little hardship?
Without waiting for Xiao Lingyu to ask her, Xiao Xier said, "Xiao Xier, if you want to be like your mother and know a lot, I'm not afraid of learning to read and write."
"Okay, Third Brother, write it down."
Su Ningwen dipped his finger in water and wrote down each stroke on the table.
Xiao Lingyu took a look and found that it was completely correct, but the handwriting looked very childish, so he had to teach them how to practice writing well.
"Okay, you've got it all correct. Next sentence: The universe is vast and desolate."
Su Ningwen wrote down all four words exactly without any mistakes.
An hour later, when Su Ningwen finished writing the last word, Xiao Lingyu smiled with satisfaction.
Bai De’s third son is so smart.
She seemed to have picked up a treasure, but this thousand-character essay was nothing.
When he can speak again, she will have more difficult ancient poems and essays waiting for him.
Xiao Lingyu rubbed Su Ningwen's little head lovingly, "Third brother, you are very smart and you wrote it correctly. You will be the first to taste the delicious food I made for you tonight."
The other three children were already listlessly lying on the table, almost drowsy. Upon hearing this, they straightened up in unison.
Looking at Xiao Lingyu, his eyes were full of Su Ningwen at this moment, and his handsome eyebrows were almost narrowed into slits.
They felt like they were about to fall out of favor and suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
Xiao Xier hurried over and sat between Xiao Lingyu and Su Ningwen. She put her little hand on Xiao Lingyu's arm, shook it coquettishly, and said sweetly, "Mom, it's time to test us. We are also very smart."
Su Ningwen knew that Xiao Xier was afraid that he would take their mother away. As a brother, how could he compete with his sister for their mother's love?
Su Ningwen was very tactful and took the book and sat on the stool on the other side.
"Okay, mother will test you now."
A quarter of an hour later.
Xiao Xier made no mistakes in reading or writing, but Su Ningjie made two mistakes and Su Ningan made three mistakes.
Xiao Lingyu looked at the two of them with gentle eyes, "Third brother, Xiao Xier wrote everything correctly. They and their brother will have delicious food to eat after dinner. If you two made any mistakes, then..."
Su Ningan took the initiative and said, "Mother, please punish me by making me fetch water and chop wood."
The ketchup is so delicious, you can’t miss this delicacy tonight.
Su Ningjie said without thinking: "Mom, punish me by making me catch five fish in the river?"
With his physical condition, catching five fish is already the limit.
Xiao Lingyu's lips curled slightly. "This rough work will naturally be left to Zhang Sanzhu. In order for you to remember these sixteen words, I will copy each word twenty times. Are you willing?"
Xiao Lingyu wanted to say it a hundred times, but the children were still too young. If they copied too much, they would become tired of studying, which would be bad.
"Yes, yes."
Being able to eat the delicious food cooked by their mother was too simple a punishment for them.
Since today's exam took up a lot of time, Xiao Lingyu only taught the children eight characters.
After half an incense stick.
Xiao Lingyu went to the kitchen, while Su Ning'an and Su Ningjie took the Thousand Character Classic and carved words on the ground in the yard with stones.
Xiao Xier took Su Ningwen's hand and said, "My brothers are being punished to write. Let's go to the kitchen to help mother cook, okay?"
Su Ningwen nodded and took Xiao Xier to the kitchen.
At the same time, the sound of horse hooves was heard at a corner five hundred meters away from the entrance of Guihua Village.
