"Junior brother, there's enough bamboo." The senior sister, who was building a fence, called out from afar, telling Ye Liang that there was no need to cut any more bamboo, because there was enough.
"Understood," Ye Liang replied, immediately stopping his bamboo-cutting.
After cutting enough bamboo, Ye Liang sat down to rest at the edge of the bamboo grove.
I take advantage of my free time to teach the children to write.
Writing is not something that can be taught haphazardly.
It's not about teaching them to write one, two, three, four, five; those words are just perfunctory.
This is not to say that these words cannot be taught, but rather that the task and responsibility of teaching these words lies with the teachers.
Tomorrow, these children will go down the mountain to attend a private school, where the teacher will be responsible for teaching them these characters.
The characters that Ye Liang is going to teach have a more special meaning for the children.
Ye Liang taught them to write their own names.
"Look, this character is Ye. It's my surname, and it's also your surname. Put these two characters together, and that's my name: Ye Liang!"
Ye Liang first wrote down his name so they could get to know him.
"Ye Leng, this is your name. The first character is 'Ye,' and the second character is your given name, 'Leng.' Put them together, Ye Leng. How about it? The character 'Leng' isn't too difficult to write, is it?"
Ye Liang then wrote down Ye Leng's name and asked him to come and get to know him.
"Ye Le, this is your name. How's the character 'Le'? It looks nice when you write it, doesn't it?" Then, she wrote Ye Le's name.
"Ye Xing, Ye Ke, these are your names. The character 'Xing' in Ye Xing's name might be a bit complicated. Ye Ke's name is much simpler."
Ye Liang wrote down all their names. The four children didn't say anything, but they all looked at it carefully.
Each of them secretly memorized their own name and what it looked like. Then, following Ye Liang's example, they took small bamboo twigs and tried to draw their own names on the soft ground.
It can't write, so it's called drawing.
It's just a copy, a drawing.
Seeing that they were all practicing writing their own names, Ye Liang, knowing that it would be difficult, gently comforted them, "It's okay if you can't write them now. Just remember what they look like, and when you see similar characters in the future, you'll know that they are your own names. Tomorrow you will go down the mountain to the school for classes, and the teacher will teach you to recognize and write characters again. You are still young, and you have plenty of time to learn."
After teaching the children, Ye Liang got up, patted the dirt off his bottom, and went to check on how his senior sisters were doing with the fence.
This time, the children didn't follow Ye Liang closely anymore. Instead, after getting up, they saw that Ye Liang hadn't gone far. He went to check if his senior sister had finished setting up the fence, then came back, picked up a branch again, and started drawing and writing their own names.
Even Ye Leng, who is known for his cold-blooded nature, likes the way his name is written.
The surname Ye is not complicated in terms of strokes.
The character for "cold" is not difficult to write.
Ye Le and Ye Ke, being girls and quite young, had some difficulty learning to write their names. However, perhaps by coincidence, Ye Liang gave them simple yet meaningful characters, and they both enjoyed writing their names.
The character "星" in Ye Xing's name has quite a lot of strokes.
However, Ye Xing was a patient person. He did not complain at all and continued to carefully copy the example written by Ye Liang. He wrote and drew the two characters "Ye Xing" with great care.
...
night.
In the evening, the children finally ate their meals less ravenously.
Although she still didn't want to use chopsticks, she ate much more slowly and methodically.
They had already eaten several meals at the Bixian Sect, and there had never been a situation where they didn't have enough to eat. They finally began to establish the Bixian Sect and had the trust that Ye Liang would not let them go hungry.
Since they won't go hungry and will definitely have enough to eat, there's no need to rush to grab the food with your hands and put it in your mouth.
Now, the children are finally starting to learn to eat slowly.
That's good.
...
That night, before going to sleep, Ye Liang, just like the day before, didn't forget to check on the children.
Ye Leng had already opened the door and was waiting for Ye Liang.
When Ye Liang arrived, Ye Leng was still awake and waiting for him with the door open.
When Ye Liang arrived and told him to go to bed early, he closed the door and went back to his room where he could sleep whenever he wanted.
His own room, his own sleep, he can decide for himself.
When they went to check on Ye Le, Ye Le was already under the bed, having made up the bed and holding a blanket, waiting for Ye Liang.
Seeing Ye Liang arrive, she seemed particularly relieved; otherwise, she probably wouldn't have been able to sleep at night if Ye Liang hadn't come to see her.
Seeing Ye Le like this, Ye Liang smiled and, just like yesterday, sat on the floor, leaning against the bed, and stayed with her for a while.
Don't bother telling them fairy tales about princes and princesses from the real world; they certainly wouldn't want to hear them anyway. After all, they weren't children raised in a greenhouse. They were poor children who grew up in a bandit's den and don't believe in fairy tales.
However, they believed in Ye Liang.
Therefore, Ye Le probably fell asleep before Ye Liang left, probably because he was tired from running around with Ye Liang all day.
Seeing that she had fallen asleep, Ye Liang quietly got up, closed the door for her, and left.
Afterwards, I went to see Ye Xing and Ye Ke.
Ye Ke, like Ye Le, is a young girl. She had been running around with Ye Liang all day and was so tired that she had fallen asleep.
Her brother, Ye Xing, continued to dutifully watch over her.
