Qin Wan then turned his gaze to Dabao, and saw a hint of shame clearly on his young face.
So, she slightly restrained her stern demeanor and tried to keep her tone as calm and gentle as possible.
"Daba, Mom knows you think these questions are easy, and that's something to be happy about.
However, if we don’t do these questions seriously, we will not be able to accurately test our true learning results.
Think about it, learning is like a long journey up a mountain, and every step you take requires you to firmly step on the road under your feet.
Don't neglect the process simply because the road ahead seems easy and smooth. If you don't practice and write down the problems, how can you truly prove that you can solve them?
After listening to his mother's earnest teachings, Dabao couldn't help but feel ashamed again. He blushed and nodded gently, whispering:
"I understand, Mom. I won't make the same mistake again. I will do my homework and study hard."
Seeing Dabao admitting his mistake so sincerely, Qin Wan felt a little relieved, and at the same time secretly looked forward to the children's continuous progress and growth in their future studies.
Qin Wan's eyes gently swept over each child, and she nodded with a smile, her eyes flashing with relief:
"No one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. Making mistakes is not scary. What is scary is not recognizing your mistakes, or not correcting them after recognizing them. As long as you can recognize your mistakes and correct them, you are a good child."
As she spoke, she slowly raised her hand and gently placed it on the children's tender shoulders. The corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a warm and kind smile, and then she continued in a soft voice:
"My children, you are all so well-behaved, sensible and lovable. You are truly the good children in your mother's heart! Every time I see you make even the smallest progress, it is something our whole family should be proud of.
So, tonight, mom has specially prepared a small celebration for you.
However, this celebration is not about how high your exam scores are, but about rewarding the invaluable courage you have shown in facing various difficulties and challenges, as well as your unremitting efforts! "
After hearing their mother's affectionate words, the children first looked at each other, and then their big, clear eyes, as if suddenly ignited by the fire of hope, instantly shone with bright and joyful light.
Just at this moment, Aunt Yu walked out of the kitchen with brisk steps.
In her hands she held steadily a plate of freshly cut fruits. The fruits were colorful and crystal clear, and looked mouth-watering.
Aunt Yu's face was filled with a kind and gentle smile, and she said to Qin Wan with a smile:
"Wanwan, our four little darlings are very well behaved at home. They haven't been naughty or caused any trouble at all."
Qin Wan looked at Aunt Yu with gratitude, nodded vigorously, and responded sincerely:
"Aunt Yu, thank you so much! Thanks to you for always helping me take care of these children at home, I have no more worries. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what I would do."
Everyone was chatting animatedly, and before we knew it, the time to go to kindergarten had quietly arrived.
So, Aunt Yu swiftly untied the apron tied around her waist, then took the children's chubby little hands and walked happily towards the kindergarten with them.
Along the way, the clear and melodious laughter, like silver bells, was like the ripples caused by the spring breeze blowing across the lake, constantly spreading in the air and slowly drifting away into the distance, as if it could reach the horizon.
Qin Wan walked briskly to the backyard, and she skillfully opened the door of the chicken coop, reached in, and easily caught a fat rooster. The rooster seemed unaware of its impending fate and continued to flap its wings in an attempt to break free from Qin Wan's restraints, but all was in vain.
Then, Qin Wan tightly grasped the rooster with one hand, and quickly picked up the sharp kitchen knife placed aside with the other hand. She raised the knife and cut the rooster's neck without hesitation. In an instant, scarlet chicken blood gushed out like a fountain, splashing on the ground to form shocking blood flowers. Qin Wan quickly took a large bowl and steadily caught the gurgling chicken blood. When she had collected almost half of the bowl, she threw the lifeless rooster into the yard, turned around and hurried into the kitchen to boil water. Because only by scalding the chicken with boiling water can you get twice the result with half the effort when plucking the chicken feathers later.
Soon, the sound of boiling water gurgled from the kitchen. Qin Wan stood by the stove, patiently waiting. Finally, the water boiled, and steam filled the kitchen, creating a feeling of being transported to a misty wonderland. Qin Wan carefully lifted the kettle and slowly poured the scalding water into a large wooden basin. As the water poured in, countless tiny bubbles suddenly appeared on the surface of the water, accompanied by a sizzling sound.
After completing the preliminary preparations, Qin Wan returned to the yard. The feathers of the rooster thrown on the ground were soaked in blood and looked a little messy. Qin Wan squatted down, stretched out her hands fearlessly, grabbed the rooster's body, and then put it into a wooden basin filled with boiling water. After just a short soaking, Qin Wan found that the feathers on the rooster became very easy to fall off. So, she began to pluck the feathers. Her fingers flexibly shuttled between the chicken feathers, and with a light stroke, the feathers that were originally tightly attached to the chicken skin fell off one after another, falling to the ground like snowflakes.
