Chapter 136 Practice makes perfect Early
in the morning.
Jiang Mianmian woke up and yawned loudly.
She looked at the top of the bed, which was a beautiful mosquito-proof curtain.
She rolled over and over twice.
The aunt appeared like a ghost and rolled up the curtain for her.
At first, Jiang Mianmian was startled. She couldn't understand how the aunt knew that she woke up so accurately and started to roll up the curtain on time. She was
just like the legendary curtain-rolling general, so punctual.
When the aunt rolled up the curtain, Jiang Mianmian had already sat in the middle of the bed.
Swinging her legs, Jiang Mianmian found that her belly seemed to be a little big. She didn't know why, but her belly was round and bulging. I guess all children are like this. She felt a little guilty, mainly because her aunt's cooking skills improved rapidly. Everything was delicious. She wanted to try everything. It seemed that she ate a lot every day and never felt hungry.
Her belly never got smaller.
After putting on the little skirt and small shoes, Jiang Mianmian looked down and saw her bulging belly. She pretended not to see it. It should be cute for children to have a little belly.
Her hair still felt very light. Her aunt wanted to braid her hair, but she always protested, thinking that the more she braided her hair, the less hair she would have.
However, it was hot and she sweated easily. When she sweated, her hair was wet, so she was caught by her aunt and tied up with a small bun.
Then she washed up. While washing up, Jiang Mianmian asked: "Aunt, didn't my father and brother come back last night?"
Yin Gu nodded: "The master must have something to do, so he came back during the day."
Jiang Mianmian nodded.
She thought that her father and brother rarely didn't come home at night, so they must be busy with something important.
It's not easy to do anything. Get
up and eat. After dinner, my aunt will teach my sister cultural lessons today, and Jiang Mianmian will learn together.
My mother will also learn together.
Yin Gu didn't know what sins she had committed in her previous life.
She had to suffer such a punishment at such an old age.
There are three girls in the family. Qin learned to read very quickly but also forgot very quickly. The eldest girl would hide when she saw a word because she thought it would bother her. The youngest girl could learn it after just one look, but she would pretend that she couldn’t and even deliberately omitted some words when writing.
Jiang Mianmian: …You misunderstood. She only knew simplified Chinese characters and still had to learn traditional Chinese characters.
Cultural classes were taught in the morning for half a day, and talent classes were arranged in the afternoon.
She had to learn a musical instrument.
Jiang Mianmian discovered the omnipotence of her aunt and that she could play everything.
Her aunt taught A Niang to play drums. When several drums were played together, it felt like a modern drum set, and it was very heroic.
A Niang refused to learn at first. When she heard that she had to learn a musical instrument, she shook her head and said she didn’t know how to play.
As a result, her aunt arranged for her to play the drums, and A Niang played happily and had a good sense of rhythm.
Watching A Niang playing the drums, Jiang Mianmian felt for the first time that A Niang was not A Niang, but a woman named Luoxia, who was full of light, wearing a silk skirt and a belt, tall, with a plump chest, long legs and long arms. She waved the drumsticks and beat them, and her body swayed with the drumbeats. She had a unique beauty and undeniable charm.
Qin Luoxia also liked this drumbeat very much. It felt very similar to hunting, and it could express her mood. She practiced very seriously. At first, she just wanted to have a skill that she could show off to her husband. Later, she just liked playing the drums.
I didn't expect that the musical instrument was not difficult, but also very interesting and fun.
A Niang played the drums. The instrument that my aunt chose for my sister at first was a bit too simple.
Erhu.
There are only two strings. When elder sister played, Jiang Mianmian felt that it affected her bowel movement. Really, it was bumpy and almost came out, but was shocked by elder sister's erhu and retracted.
But Yin Gu had tried her best. After trying for a long time, she gave up. She
changed to learning the flute.
As long as she blows into the hole, she can carry it with her and it can also be used as a weapon.
After the test of erhu, elder sister accepted the flute all at once. At least it didn't make people constipated if she played it well.
But from the sound of the flute, elder sister has no talent in this area.
Auntie should have given up too, so she prepared to teach elder sister a song, as long as she can perform it at the critical moment.
Mianmian is still too young, she doesn't need to take instrumental lessons, she can just watch.
She sat on the straw tatami and played with Jiang Xiaoshu.
At first, she and Jiang Xiaoshu were just playing with a group of ants, but after she discovered that she could write with ants, she found a new way to play. She
could draw with ants, and it was especially three-dimensional.
She gestured with a stick, and the little ants obediently went to the designated position.
Soon, Mianmian drew a three-dimensional aunt with ants.
Aunt Yin's saliva had dried up from teaching the eldest girl, and her ears were almost deaf. She sat down to rest for a while, turned around and saw a black and squirming figure of herself on the ground, and was startled again.
Her heart skipped a beat. To be honest, she felt like she was used to being scared. She felt like her heart had grown into a lump. She even looked carefully at her face made of ants and calmly pointed out, "The aunt has wrinkles on her face. Your drawing doesn't look like her."
Jiang Mianmian shook her head, "It looks like her. The aunt looks the best."
Aunt Yin: ... You're just being sweet. I won't fall for that.
At most, let her eat one more preserved fruit. No more. If she eats more, her teeth will be bad. But she's a clean person. Her teeth are well protected. She can eat two more.
After the instrument class, there is the etiquette class.
The aunt teaches how to read people.
Jiang Mianmian also has to learn this class. This is about the ways of the world. She must learn it.
Jiang Mianmian heard her great-aunt say: "When a superior sees a lowly person, his eyes should not be too enthusiastic. It is better to be calm. He also does not need to be sad, as it will appear hypocritical..." "
When a superior sees a capable person, his eyes must be sincere..."
"When a superior sees..."
Jiang Mianmian's eyes were full of stars. There are so many things to be careful about when looking at people. She also wondered if her great-aunt had too much confidence in their family.
They just live in the village, and now their conditions are better than other people in the village, and maybe better than those in the county. What's the point of teaching a superior? Isn't it a bit too early and too ruthless?
But seeing that A Niang and A Jie were learning very seriously, Jiang Mianmian had to follow them and not make trouble.
If she really made trouble, A Niang was also very fierce. A Niang swung her axe with great power.
Aunt Yin saw that the little girl was also learning, and she actually wanted to say, you don't need to, you don't need to learn, really, your eyes look detached from everything, and you look like a natural superior, you are better at pretending than your father, you really don't need to learn.
Jiang Mianmian was learning very hard, and her aunt handed her a nine-ring combo and asked her to play it by herself.
Jiang Mianmian: ...
Okay, the nine-ring combo is also very fun.
My elder sister and mother were studying. Jiang Mianmian heard the noise and realized that my father and brother had returned.
Jiang Mianmian went out to pick them up.
Now they don’t have to climb the hill from the village. A road has been built and they can ride horses directly from the village entrance.
The sound of horse hooves was heard from afar. It was my father and brother who had returned.
Inexplicably, I felt that they seemed to be very happy today.
Jiang Mianmian climbed onto my father first.
My brother loved to stroke her head too much. My father was better.
Jiang Feng came back and saw Jiang Yu looking at her with a sidelong glance. She asked curiously, "What's the matter? Is your eye cramped?"
Jiang Yu:...She is using the method of seeing the sincerity of people that my aunt taught her.
My mother looked at my father with admiration, respect, love and indescribable feeling... Anyway, she was attracted.
What is my aunt teaching?
No wonder she was not allowed to study.
Jiang Changtian came home today, and he looked very clear-headed, as if he was different from the past.
He was also very handsome in the past, but there was always a gloomy beauty.
A bit like a crazy beauty.
But today he seemed much more normal, and he looked better and more sunny, glowing.
The eldest brother also seemed to be a playboy again, lazy and a bit ruffian, not so serious anymore.
I don’t know what he did to change so much.
Jiang Mianmian asked her father in a baby voice: "Dad, you have been away for so long, Mianmian missed you so much, did you bring me a gift?" When
the elders are in a good mood, they ask for gifts, basic practice.
Jiang Changtian was a little stunned by the question. He really didn’t think of bringing a gift for the little guy today.
But she asked, so there must be one.
Jiang Changtian searched his body and fumbled out a knife.
He always carried this knife with him, which once gave him half the courage to live.
Now it seems that he doesn't need it anymore, he has something more important than the knife.
This knife was given to him by his father when he was alive.
He also cherishes it very much.
Today, Jiang Changtian took out the knife, handed it to Xiao Mianmian and said, "Here, you can peel the fruit."
Jiang Changtian smiled.
Their family has always been poor, and everyone eats the fruit with the skin, but this little one must peel the skin before eating. I don't know where this noble habit comes from.
Seeing that Aunt Yin looked accustomed to it and it should be like this, Jiang Changtian actually had a guess about his life experience.
But he was not sure. He read the letters from Old Lady Jiang. One was to the Seventh Prince's Consort, and the other was to the Grand Consort, the husband of the Princess.
In fact, he just read it and did not intercept it. The letter was sent out anyway. He did not dare to believe what Mrs. Jiang said. He thought that when someone came, he could follow
the clues to find out the truth. Jiang Mianmian did not expect that she would get a gift for her coquettish words. She
happily took the knife, slid down, and went to find her brother again.
She asked the same reason again, and her brother gave her a kiss, which made her drool...
Forget it, just play by yourself.
Jiang Mianmian was very happy holding the knife.
She began her peeling career, using the knife to separate the fruit bit by bit, and the peel, flesh and seeds were clearly separated.
After separating, she was still not satisfied. It would be great if there were small animals, so that she could review the anatomy course.
Jiang Mianmian thought so, and the next day she harvested a little rabbit that Jiang Xiaoshu brought to her with an army of ants.
A gray rabbit.
It has been bitten to death.
What a pity for a beautiful rabbit.
Jiang Mianmian took a knife and cut open the rabbit's skin, neck, fascia, bones, and internal organs, sorted them out, and arranged them neatly.
One advantage of being strong is that when dissecting, there is no jamming of the hands, and there is no need to pause, just cut through.
Fearing that her family would find out and get scared, Jiang Mianmian cut the rabbit into the smallest units and let the little ants carry it away and eat it.
Perfect cooperation.
Every day she took some time to collect the prey given by the little ants, and then she dissected and cut it, and then let the little ants carry it away.
The skills are becoming more and more mature.
Jiang Mianmian also felt very relieved, as if she had found her own way of survival.
It is your own specialty. As expected, if you have a skill, you will not be in a hurry wherever you go.
