Chapter 96 I'm stupid
Zhao Ronger wrinkled her nose mischievously, "My dad is famous for all his tricks! I'll go in with you!"
Zhao Xingjian was writing at the desk by the window. When he saw the village head come in, he put down his pen and asked, "Lao Zhuang, what brings you here?"
His eyes fell on the little girl and he immediately understood, "Hey, Lao Zhuang, I already said we don't accept children under three years old. It's useless for you to bring them here!"
"Master Zhao, this kid is different!" The village head looked at Xiaojiu lovingly. "Even though she's only a year old, she's very smart! You'll know if you try!"
Zhao Xingjian smiled and shook his head. "Lao Zhuang, I didn't mean to offend you. I have a reason for requiring children to be three years old and older to attend school. A baby this young can't even sit still. Even if I take her in, what will she learn? What if she gets upset and starts crying? Wouldn't I have to comfort her? And that would affect the other children's classes. Why bother?"
"You don't understand!" The village head stroked his beard proudly. "Our little Jiu is more sensible than many three-year-olds. She won't cry. I've never seen her cry!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the little girl burst into tears.
The village head was startled and looked at Zhao Ronger, "Why is Xiao Jiuer crying?"
Zhao Ronger looked confused. "I don't know either. I was having fun just now, but suddenly I started crying."
The little dumpling was crying with his little mouth open.
Zhao Xingjian smiled. "Look, I was right! It's a child's nature to cry and make a fuss. It's really not suitable for enlightenment at such a young age."
"Today was an accident! She never acts like this normally!" The village head was almost sweating with anxiety. "Xiaojiu can also count. If you don't believe me, I'll let her count for you!"
"Xiao Jiuer, can you please count for the teacher?" the head of the village asked patiently.
"Wow... yeah!" The little girl stopped crying suddenly and nodded obediently.
The village head smiled confidently and said, "Then let's get started!"
The little dumpling stretched out his chubby little index finger and carefully picked at his fingers.
"One~"
The small voice is clear and bright.
The village head nodded with satisfaction: "Look, what a good count!"
"First~"
"Department~"
"Leak~"
"Xi~"
The village head's smile froze on his face.
"Hahahaha, one, three, four, sixty!" Zhao Xingjian was amused by the chubby little cute baby.
The village head was anxious. "She's not like this usually! Xiao Jiuer, can you count again?"
"Hmm!" The little dumpling slowly tugged at his little fingers, "One, tie, leak, eight!"
Village head: “…”
What happened to this doll today?
Why did you suddenly become stupid?
"Lao Zhuang, I know you like this girl, but you can't be too hasty in studying, otherwise it will backfire. Don't worry, when the time is right, I will naturally accept her."
The village head didn't know what to say, so he picked up Xiaojiu and left with a look of regret on his face.
"Xiaojiu, the village head has done his best. Don't cry if you can't go to school with your brothers tomorrow!"
The little dumpling hung his head and sighed, "Oh! I'm so stupid!"
But her swinging little feet revealed her inner joy.
"Oh, Xiaojiu is not stupid! Xiaojiu will know everything by next year!" The village head comforted him all the way.
Finally it’s night.
After dinner, Luo Qiuyue asked everyone in the Ye family to gather in the main hall.
Even the three little ones each had a small stool and sat upright.
"Mom, what's going on so formally?" Ye Yan'an couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that Xiaojiu's relatives have come to visit?"
"You have such a bad mouth!" Luo Qiuyue gave him a slap on the head.
Ye Buwei cleared his throat, his expression rather calm. "Today, Xiaojiu asked me to agree to a condition. She wants me to cure her eyes."
"Oh!" Ye Yan'an gave the little dumpling a thumbs up.
Others followed suit.
Ever since Ye Buwei refused to treat his eyes last time, they didn't dare to bring up the topic again.
Now only Xiaojiu dares to bring it up.
"It's time to tell you about my eyes." Ye Buwei said calmly, "Over the years, your mother has never given up on treating my eyes. The reason she rejected you three brothers last time was simply because my eyes can't be cured by just finding a doctor."
"How can it be cured?" Ye Yanping asked anxiously.
Luo Qiuyue took over the conversation, "If you want to cure your father's eyes, you need a certain herb. Without this herb, even finding a miracle doctor won't help."
"What medicinal herb is it?" the three brothers asked in unison.
"Netherworld Dragon-Catching Flower."
The three brothers looked at each other. What a strange name! They had never heard of it before.
"Mom, can we find this flower that can cure Dad's eyes?"
"Where can I find this flower?"
There was an uncontrollable excitement in Ye Yanping's voice. As long as this herb could cure his father's eyes, he would find it even if he had to go through fire and water!
Luo Qiuyue said, "The Netherworld Dragon Flower is a miraculous detoxifying herb that grows deep in the mountains and dense forests. Back then, we were told by someone that this herb existed in Wild Bear Ridge."
"So that's why my parents moved to Heihe Village?"
"Why haven't we found this herb in all these years?"
"Could it be that there is no such medicinal material in Wild Bear Ridge?"
The three brothers couldn't hold back any longer.
Ye Buwei said: "The Netherworld Dragon-Catching Flower is an extremely precious herb. According to legend, it only blooms once every hundred years."
"What? One flower every hundred years!" Everyone was shocked.
So how long do we have to wait?
"Why are you so anxious?" Luo Qiuyue said with a smile, "According to the records of the herbalists, this year is exactly the 100th year."
"That's great!" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"So, we must collect this herb this year. We can't afford to lose!" Ye Yanping suddenly stood up. "I'll go into the mountains tomorrow!"
"No rush. According to ancient records, this flower blooms in ice and snow. Now is not the right time." Ye Buwei said.
Ye Yanping sat down again and said with some regret: "That still has to wait, I can't wait any longer!"
Excitement and enthusiasm were written on everyone's face.
Ye Yanshun said, "Dad, Mom, you just said that the Netherworld Dragon Flower is a miraculous detoxification drug, so Dad's eyesight is due to poisoning?"
"yes."
"Then why was Dad poisoned?"
Ye Yanshun's question expressed the doubts in everyone's mind.
Everyone pricked up their ears, waiting for the answer.
