Xie Wanyun stood outside the window, looking at the children's serious and hard-working faces studying, and felt quite gratified.
Xiaoya, who had the sharpest eyes, saw her first and quickly stood up and shouted, "Madam is here!"
The children jumped up and came forward happily.
Xie Wanyun touched Xiao Ya's double buns. Since the child came into the mansion, someone has been taking care of her. She has enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear. Her complexion has become rosy and her hair is shiny black.
Mr. Wu stepped forward, bowed to her and greeted her.
"Sir, you don't have to be so polite. Have the children made any progress in their studies recently?"
"They're all very good. Although the children's foundation is a little weak, they are all studying hard. They just read the Three Character Classic and are now learning the Hundred Family Surnames. Look, madam, this is their handwriting."
Mr. Wu picked up the homework with great interest and showed it to Xie Wanyun. Although the handwriting was not very neat, every stroke was carefully written.
"Ma'am, you don't know, the children refused to use pen and paper to write, saying that they hadn't learned it yet and it would be a waste to use pen, ink, paper and inkstone. They just picked up a branch and wrote on the ground. I told them not to listen, and only agreed to write on paper after they could write well. They are really sensible." Mr. Wu became happier as he spoke.
"Well, that's good." Xie Wanyun originally thought that these children were used to wandering and might not be able to stand the restraint. But now it seems that she was worrying too much.
If you can have a home, who would want to wander around?
She talked to each of the children and learned that the fourth brother wanted to be a knight-errant or a police officer, because he thought police officers were very impressive. When he was wandering the streets, he often saw them wearing official uniforms, carrying swords, and looking very arrogant. As long as the police came, they, the vagrants, would scatter and run away.
Xiaodouzi wanted to do business. His family originally ran a restaurant. He originally thought that all businessmen were as mercenary and profit-seeking as his father and stepmother. However, after meeting Xie Wanyun, he realized that businessmen could also be as heroic and righteous as Mrs. Xie.
Xie Wanyun promised to take him to the shop to help out in the spring.
The other children also had their own ideas, and Xie Wanyun listened patiently and attentively.
Finally, she saw Xiaoya sitting quietly by the side, so she asked, "What do you want to do in the future, Xiaoya?"
Xiao Ya blushed and shook her head.
A boy laughed and said, "She's just a little girl, what can she do? She'll just wait until she grows up so she can get married."
Everyone laughed.
The little girl was so embarrassed that she wanted to hide herself.
She watched her friends talking about their ideals one by one, and she felt a little anxious, but she was still young and couldn't think of what she wanted to do. Now when she saw her friends teasing her, she almost cried.
Xie Wanyun patted her little hands and said, "Xiaoya, you haven't figured it out yet. It's okay. When you figure it out, tell everyone, okay?"
Although her tone was light, it contained encouragement. Her eyes were warm and bright, and Xiao Ya's confused mind suddenly became clear.
Her eyes lit up! She mustered up the courage to say, "I want to be someone like you in the future!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the children burst into laughter.
"Little girl, you really dare to think so!"
Xiao Ya bit her lip, her whole body trembling with nervousness, and just looked at Xie Wanyun.
Xie Wanyun sighed. "People like me aren't necessarily good either. You only see the superficial glory. Who knows I crawled out of hell?"
She really hoped that those unpleasant events in her previous life had never happened.
She patted Xiaoya's face and said, "Xiaoya is a good child. You don't have to learn to be someone else. Just be yourself."
"Oh!" Xiao Ya bit her lip in disappointment.
Seeing the child's disappointed face, Xie Wanyun said, "Follow the teacher and learn to read and write. Women are different from men. The living environment is already narrow, which can easily lead to a narrower vision. Therefore, you must read and understand the truth. Otherwise, you will be confused all your life. Do you understand?"
The little girl seemed to understand what he said, but nodded seriously.
