Chapter 73 Learning
"What about Xixi?" Ye Li asked.
Xixi said, "I have a wish."
"What wish?"
Xixi hesitated for a moment and said, "Mom, can I not study anymore? I really, really don't want to study. It's too difficult."
Ye Li smiled and shook his head: "This can't be considered a wish."
"Why? Mom, you said you'd try your best to fulfill our birthday wishes!"
The child has grown up and has become more eloquent. Ye Li always feels that he should practice his speaking skills.
"If it's the right birthday wish, Mommy will definitely agree to it," Ye Li patiently taught her daughter, "You and your brother can watch a cartoon every month. By the time you're older, you'll have watched all the cartoons. Wouldn't you be very bored then?"
Ye Li pointed to the books on the bookshelf and continued, "Look, there are many interesting books on our bookshelf. The things written on them are more interesting than cartoons. If Xixi doesn't want to learn to read now, then when your brother can read, you won't be able to understand, right?"
"Yeah," Xixi responded sullenly.
Ye Li continued, "Studying has many benefits. Not only can you understand the stories in books, but you can also become smarter. When you grow up and go out, you will be able to protect yourselves and won't be afraid of being bullied."
"Yeah," Xixi nodded heavily. She hugged Ye Li and said, "When I grow up, I will protect Mama!"
Ye Li has doted on Xixi since she was a child, and Xixi is as delicate as a little princess.
But once she thinks something through, she will do it very well, sometimes even better than Xiaomu.
Ye Li himself can speak two languages, Chinese and English, and usually teaches two children in bilingual manner.
After all, the books on the bookshelf are both in Chinese and English.
The teaching knowledge also tends to be agricultural teaching, teaching them how to grow things and some theoretical knowledge.
As for financial knowledge, it is of no use at all in this end times.
At the same time, I will also teach the two kids some martial arts skills and crisis management methods.
For example, what should you do if you encounter zombies?
But that’s all in the past.
After breakfast, the mother and her two children spread mats on the open space on the balcony and did yoga together. After finishing yoga, they jumped rope and ran together. After sweating a lot, they started to study.
The two children are still young and have just started learning, so they are only learning the most basic knowledge.
But the most basic things are not easy. Before Ye Li taught, he looked up a lot of books before he felt confident.
Xiaomu has always studied hard.
Xixi said she wanted to protect Ye Li, and she studied very seriously, asking questions whenever she didn't understand.
Immersed in study, the morning passed quickly.
While the two kids were consolidating what they had learned, Ye Li went to make lunch.
Today is Xiaomu and Xixi’s birthday, so we must make a delicious lunch.
Ye Li slaughtered a chicken, stewed half of it into soup and stir-fried the other half. This was the only chance to eat chicken before the end of the year. The remaining four chickens had to be kept for laying eggs and hatching chicks next year.
During the meal, the two kids had big appetites and ate everything with relish. They only stopped when their bellies were full.
"I'm so full," Xiaomu and Xixi sighed as they lay on the chairs, holding their stomachs.
"Haha..." Ye Li was amused by their cute appearance. She said, "Let's watch some cartoons and then take a nap. In the afternoon, we have to go to the fields to work."
"Okay," the two kids responded and got up to watch cartoons.
Xiao Mu took two steps and then stopped. He took the initiative to help Ye Li clean the table. "Mom, I'm grown up now. I'll help you wash the dishes."
"Okay," Ye Li replied with a smile. The child became sensible earlier than she thought. She thought that the child would have to wait until he was eight or nine years old before he could help her with work.
