"Spring sleep is so sweet, I don't even notice the dawn, but mosquitoes bite everywhere. I turn over in bed at night, and who knows how many have died!"
Li Muhao recited it with great pride and his eyebrows were dancing with excitement.
The old man of the Li family turned ashen in an instant, his inner monologue: What kind of nonsense is he memorizing?
"Third son, what are you memorizing?" The first thing the old man said as he came downstairs was to question Li Muhao.
Hello, Grandpa!
Xiao Xinyan and Li Muhao greeted the old man in unison.
Li Muhao was completely unaware of what he had done wrong, and innocently said to the old man of the Li family, "I am reciting 'Spring Dawn' and want to help my sister consolidate her memorization."
He seemed quite confident.
The old man of the Li family resisted the urge to hit him with his cane, but his fingers gripped the dragon head on the cane with unusual force, and he asked Li Muhao again:
Are you sure that's how you memorize "Spring Dawn"?
"..." Li Muhao was stunned for a moment, then asked somewhat uncertainly, "Isn't that... true?"
In his memory and understanding, it seems that this is how he memorized "Spring Dawn".
The old man of the Li family took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, trying his best to control his emotions.
"Look at the poetry collection your sister is holding, and see what's written in it."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xinyan obediently handed the poetry collection in her hand to her third brother. Li Muhao also obediently reached out and took it, looking down at the poem "Spring Dawn". After reading it once, Li Muhao was stunned, as if he had fallen into deep thought.
Why is the version of "Spring Dawn" in his memory different from the version in the poetry collection his sister has, except for the first line?
Could it be... that he memorized it wrong?
This song, "Spring Dawn," was taught to him personally by his second brother!
Li Muhao had always thought that "Spring Dawn" was memorized in this way, but now that he knew the truth, he was so shocked that he was petrified on the spot.
“Yanbao, recite the correct version of ‘Spring Dawn’ to your third brother so that he can remember it from now on.”
The old man of the Li family turned his gaze to the well-behaved little Xinyan beside him. The moment his gaze fell on his granddaughter, it softened considerably, and the corners of his lips turned up slightly, revealing a clear warmth.
This kind of warmth is something the gourd children of the Li family will never get.
"Okay!" Xiao Xinyan nodded hurriedly and began to recite with a swaying head: "Spring sleep is so sweet, I don't notice the dawn, everywhere I hear birds singing. Last night came the sound of wind and rain, I wonder how many flowers have fallen."
Before the third brother came in, the little boy had just started learning this poem and memorized it completely after reading it only a few times.
After listening to Xiao Yanbao recite "Spring Dawn," the old man of the Li family felt much better. He nodded with great satisfaction and reached out to pat Xiao Yanbao's head as a form of praise and encouragement.
The next second, the old man of the Li family turned his eyes and glared at Li Muhao, saying, "Third son, did you remember?"
Grandpa's face-changing speed is faster than that of a professional Sichuan opera face-changing actor.
Li Muhao was startled and subconsciously replied, "I...I remember..."
"Then recite it once," the old man of the Li family said unexpectedly.
Li Muhao was stunned. His already limited knowledge base went completely blank. He stammered for a long time, unable to even recite the only correct sentence, the first one.
He immediately drooped his head in dejection, his tuft of hair standing on end, and honestly admitted:
"I...I'll watch it a few more times carefully!"
"Whether it's studying or being a person, one must be down-to-earth, take one step at a time, be steady and pragmatic, and avoid arrogance and impetuosity..."
The old man of the Li family started his lecturing mode again, rambling on and on for a long time. Li Muhao, who was somewhat dazed, basically didn't listen to the second half of the lecture. It wasn't until the old man's last summary that Li Muhao came back to his senses.
"Third brother, you should learn from Yanbao. Although you are her older brother in terms of age, in other aspects, your younger sister can definitely be your teacher."
After saying that, the old man got up and went out. He had made an appointment to have tea with an old friend today.
After the old man left, Li Muhao stood there blankly, as if he had suffered a fatal blow, and became somewhat listless.
He's already in middle school, and he can't even recite "Spring Dawn" from memory. Is he not just a bad student, but the worst one out there?
Fool?
"Third brother, don't be sad, don't be discouraged, don't be upset..."
Xiao Xinyan noticed Li Muhao's low spirits, so she moved closer to him, reached out her little hand to touch his drooping head, and comforted him:
"Yan Yan also has many ancient poems that she can't memorize. We'll memorize them a few more times and she'll get them."
"Yanbao, do you think Third Brother can still be saved?"
Li Muhao turned to look at the little boy beside him, his eyes brimming with tears, and asked.
If we don't act quickly to save him, he'll be completely finished!
Because Grandpa once said that if a child of the Li family couldn't get into his ideal university through his own efforts, he would be arranged to work in a factory under the Li family's name, doing manual labor, tightening screws... whatever job was the most grueling, he would be made to do it.
Li Muhao really didn't want to work in a factory!
Just then, Xiao Xinyan's sweet, healing voice rang in Li Muhao's ears:
"Of course! Third brother isn't stupid. As long as he studies hard and studies diligently, he'll definitely make progress!"
Upon hearing this, Li Muhao's eyes, which had dimmed from the blow, instantly brightened again: "Little sister, do you really think I'm not stupid?"
