Chapter 118 The little stinky boy doesn't want to study
Brother Tang was reading a book and was startled by him. He quickly put down the book and came over to greet him.
Yan Shenjue held the little boy to him and said, "Xinbao said he has a headache."
Brother Tang was stunned and looked at his sister. After they exchanged glances, Xinbao quickly closed his eyes.
Second Brother Tang knew what was going on. He twitched his lips, took his sister back, and Xinbao quickly fell on his shoulder.
Brother Tang asked, "Are you saying you want to teach her to read?"
Yan Shenjue was stunned: "Yes."
Brother Tang nodded, stroked his sister's back slowly, and said jokingly: "This, this is our Xinbao'er's old illness, called 'Little Stinky Baby Doesn't Want to Study' disease. I wanted to teach her to study, and the first time she told me her eyes hurt, the second time it was her hands that hurt, and the third time there was nothing to say, she said something to me... Xinbao, come and talk to Brother Xiaojue."
Second brother Tang really wanted to teach his sister to recognize a few words, and he even bought a copy of the Three Character Classic in seal script for the purpose. But the little girl was acting like a spoiled child and just refused to learn.
Hearing that she remained silent, the second brother turned around and pointed to Yan Shenjue.
Yan Shenjue glanced at her and saw the little girl lying on her brother's shoulder, her little face pouting and her eyes tightly closed.
The second brother pinched her little ticklish spot, Xinbao dodged and laughed.
The two of them joked around for a while, and then Xinbao said in a baby voice: "Xinbao doesn't want to study yet. If Xinbao wants to grow up, he can study a little bit, just a little bit."
Her body is like a poor contact, it breaks down every day, and she can't even recite the Three Character Classic! But in fact, she knows the Three Character Classic!
Even if she can't, wait until she is better. She is a big shot, with a photographic memory, okay? ! So the most important thing now is to take good care of your body, and learning can wait!
Otherwise, if you risk your life to learn it now, learn it today, and forget it tomorrow, how miserable that would be!
She had a good reason, but she still felt a little guilty. She pouted her lips and kissed her brother on the face: "That's the best! My dearest!"
"Oh," the second brother said, "You love me the most today? You don't love your wife anymore?"
Xinbao said righteously, "We are not playing house now, and you are calling me wife. This is wrong! You are not tired of my appearance!!"
Second brother: “…”
Even Yan Shen Jue couldn't help laughing out loud.
The second brother didn't hold her for long, especially since she was getting heavier, so he put her down and said to Yan Shenjue, "I don't know why, but except for me, no one in my family likes to study. My elder brother is smart and clever, but he only studied for two or three years and didn't want to study anymore. My third brother studied for more than half a year, and every day he seemed to be pulling out his tendons and skinning him. But the fourth brother... can still study. If he hadn't been delayed by something, we would all be studying now."
Yan Shenjue asked him, "Do you want to go to school again next year?"
"Yes," said the second elder brother, "when I am well again, I will go to school."
Yan Shenjue pondered and said nothing.
A carriage was rumbling past outside. Brother Yuan opened the door and jumped in after a few steps, bringing in a gust of rain.
Xinbao shrank his neck.
Brother Yuan laughed and reached out to touch her little face: "Xinbao has pigtails? It's so beautiful."
Xinbao shook his head happily: "Thank you Dayuan, Dayuan is handsome too!"
"Pfft!" Big Brother Yuan laughed a few more times, and said to Big Brother Two, "Uncle Qingshan sent someone to tell him that on the seventh day, we have to go there before noon and stay up all night. We have to go to the funeral early in the morning on the seventh day... Oh, and we figured out that people born in the years of the monkey and the pig should not be allowed to attend the funeral."
The second brother raised his eyebrows: "Those born in the year of the monkey and the pig? That's perfect. Xinbao, Xiaowu and Xiaoliu don't have to go."
Brother Yuan nodded and said, "The old patriarch of the Tang family told me in advance that they would go to the funeral. I told him when I came back."
The second brother nodded and pondered for a moment.
Brother Yuan said, "Don't worry. It's just one night. Xiaochu and Xiaojue are here, and the three children are familiar with them. Nothing will happen."
The second brother sighed and said, "Then I'll leave it to you."
In fact, the delay was not that much. He could have taken medicine the day before and then gone. There was not much to do at the funeral the next day, so he could come back and take medicine. So it was just a matter of my brother and sister-in-law staying at home for one night.
Although I was worried, there was nothing I could do. Instead of entrusting my brother and sister-in-law to the villagers, I might as well entrust them to Yan Shenjue and the others.
So a day later, the second brother and the fourth brother followed the Yuan family's carriage to the city.
The twins and Yuan Yaochu were almost as close as one. They followed Yuan Yaochu early in the morning, not caring at all that their brothers were not at home. Xinbao did not go out, and stayed at home with Yan Shenjue.
Yan Xiaolang thought for a long time before he came up with a game that he could play with her.
So the two of them are playing cat's twirl now.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Xinbao's chubby fingers are not flexible, so he can only do simple flips. They often get tied into a knot, so we have to change the rope.
The two were having a great time when an old woman came in and asked, "Is Xinbao at home? Where's your brother?"
Xinbao was deeply impressed by her. After all, she was an old lady who could lift her feet off the ground when she jumped up, so she said politely, "Hello, Grandma Hu."
"Hey, dear!" Mrs. Hu asked again, "Where are your fifth and sixth brothers?"
Xinbao said, "Go out and play with Brother Xiaoyuan."
"What?" Mrs. Hu yelled, "Your grandmother just died, how can they go out to play?"
Xinbao was a little confused and stared with wide eyes, not knowing how to answer.
Yan Shenjue hugged her and said calmly, "What do you want?"
Yan Shenjue is young and thin, but his aura is completely different from that of the villagers.
Mrs. Hu didn't dare to yell at him, so she softened a little and said, "Well, I was just thinking that since Sister Liu has passed away, we have been neighbors for such a long time. I was thinking of going over to burn some incense for her, but I didn't expect that she would be unfavorable to my zodiac sign... In the past, I had a bad temper and quarreled with her a few times. Now that she is dead, everything is gone, and I feel a little guilty..."
She lifted her skirt to wipe her tears, and muttered for a long time before getting to the point: "Later I found out that Xinbao and Xiaowu and Xiaoliu were also mourning their deaths. This is not good. You are our grandchildren, it would be bad not to go! How about you hold a memorial ceremony at home? I have helped with funerals a few times, so I will help too, and I will do my best..."
She rambled on and on.
Yan Shenjue sneered as he listened.
He had been accustomed to the fickleness of human nature since he was a child, and he could tell what these people were thinking at a glance.
She used to quarrel with Liu Pozi every day, and now she heard that she had become an "evil ghost" and was afraid again. She wanted to "reconcile" with her, but her zodiac sign prevented her from going. She felt uneasy and came to instigate them... Xinbao and the twins were so young, what did they know? She saw that they were rich and didn't care about money, so she wanted them to buy it for her. If she just extended a hand, it would be considered as a contribution, and she would feel at ease.
But, on what basis? Originally, the family had severed ties, and Tang Qingshan had done his utmost to spend money to settle the matter!
Xinbao is a girl, so she doesn't need to go to the wake. The twins didn't go because it's unlucky for their zodiac signs. Even the sons wouldn't go because it's unlucky for their zodiac signs. Who would set up an altar? She was just afraid and didn't want to spend money, so she came here to cheat!
Yan Shenjue said directly: "Uncle Qingshan is performing a ritual over there, so we can't do it here. Please go back."
Mrs. Hu was stunned. After a long while, she didn't dare to make a scene. She said, "I ask Xin Bao! You are not a member of the Tang family! You don't have the final say!!"
