On the way back, I met many people who had just returned from the fields.
Everyone who passed by greeted her politely.
Smoke curls up from the chimneys of every house.
Before the three little guys even entered the yard, they shouted at the top of their lungs: "Mom! We're back!"
Yu and Wu came out of the kitchen and said, "Go wash your hands first when you get back."
Seeing Xin Guoguo, the two daughters-in-law smiled even more:
"Mom, why did you go to pick them up? You've just gotten better, don't tire yourself out."
Mrs. Wu even walked over and wanted to hug her son.
But the mother-in-law took a step back and dodged her hand: "Go cook, don't bother us. We still have things to do!"
Sanwa raised his little head, full of pride:
"Yes! We want to teach grandma to read! We are little teachers!"
"Reading?!"
Both daughters-in-law exclaimed and looked at each other in shock.
Isn't learning to read and write something that only men can do?
Besides, my mother-in-law is so old, how can she recognize words?
Although they were puzzled, they did not dare to raise any questions.
Xin Guoguo glanced at the two of them:
"Don't fall behind, you two. When this busy period is over, teach me how to read! When my three children become officials, people will laugh their heads off when they say the mother of the top scholar can't read!"
"this……"
After hearing this, the two of them dared not refute.
Although they don't think their children are very capable, they still have some hope in their hearts.
What if?
The two looked at each other and nodded firmly: "Don't worry, Mom, we will learn!"
Xin Guoguo finally nodded in satisfaction: "Alright, go cook. I'll test you guys when we learn again."
The two daughters-in-law were amused by their mother-in-law's serious look, but they also nodded in agreement:
"Okay, Mom."
The two returned to the kitchen with a somewhat strange mood.
While working, I couldn't help but have random thoughts in my mind.
"Sister-in-law, what do you mean by this? Why did she suddenly think of learning to read? And she even asked us to do it together."
Yu put the chopped vegetables into a bowl and took a clove of garlic to mince it.
Wu blanched the vegetables and shook her head:
"I don't know. Didn't Mom say she was afraid that the three kids would become officials in the future and people would laugh at us?"
Yu sneered:
"Do you believe this? The three kids have been studying for a long time. Just because I fell down today, I suddenly remembered?"
"Eh? Don't tell me! Maybe it was really caused by this fall!"
After serving the blanched vegetables, Wu grabbed some of the minced garlic that Yu had chopped. She then took the bowl, added some salt, mixed it, and put the bowl down.
Yu thought about it, but couldn't come up with a better explanation. She could only comfort herself, thinking that this was probably the case.
No matter how much turmoil her two daughters-in-law felt in their hearts because of her words, Xin Guoguo now took her three grandsons into her room.
The eldest and second child took out their homework and started writing.
Sanwa originally went with his two older brothers to join in the fun, and even Shu Xiu only taught him half of it.
The little fellow patted his chest and took on the task of teaching his grandmother to recognize words. He opened the Thousand Character Classic and said:
"Grandma, I'll read a sentence and you read it with me."
The babyish little voice made Xin Guoguo feel soft in her heart.
She nodded obediently: "Okay."
The little guy puffed out his chest, put one hand behind his back, and held a book with the other hand.
I have learned the gentleman's style very well.
But his paws were too small to hold such a big book.
The book slipped from his little hands.
He pouted, bent down to pick it up, and gently patted the dirt off the pages with his little hands.
I wanted to continue imitating the teacher, but I couldn't. In the end, I could only pout and spread the book flat on the table in front of me:
"Grandma, watch it with me."
Xin Guoguo turned her head to look over.
The little one points to the words in the book with his little finger, reads a word, and moves his little finger:
"The sky and earth are dark yellow, the universe is vast and boundless."
Xin Guoguo looked at his little finger that couldn't keep up with the speed of his mouth, and couldn't help laughing as he followed along:
"The sky and earth are dark yellow, the universe is vast and boundless."
By the next sentence, the little guy had completely strayed from the topic, not even realizing it, and was teaching with such confidence:
"The sun and moon wax and wane, and the stars and constellations spread out."
Xin Guoguo couldn't help laughing: "The sun and the moon wax and wane, and the stars are spread out."
Can't laugh!
Don't turn around and annoy the little one, or she will have to coax him.
One of them teaches seriously, the other learns seriously, and they seem to be in great harmony.
After teaching for a while, the voices of the two sons were heard outside.
The two daughters-in-law helped them pack up the farm tools and asked them to change their clothes, wash their hands and eat.
Then he came in and called out to Xin Guoguo and the others:
"Mom, it's time for dinner. Big one, second one, third one, come out with grandma to eat!"
The three little guys responded immediately: "Here we come!"
Xin Guoguo also nodded.
As soon as Mrs. Wu left, Sanwa closed the book with his little hands, his face still stern like the teacher, and he put his hands behind his back:
"Okay, that's all for today's class. Everyone, go home and have dinner. Remember to do your homework."
The eldest and second child wanted to laugh when they saw their younger brother like this.
Xin Guoguo stood up and took Sanwa's hand: "Okay, little master, let's go eat."
Sanwa frowned and pulled his hand back.
He tilted his little head back and looked at Xin Guoguo seriously: "Grandma, you have to say 'Goodbye Master'."
Xing Guoguo: (●—●)
"Okay, Master, goodbye. So, Little Master, can we go eat now?"
