Sure enough, when Xiuhua heard Ning Jing say that, a look of hesitation appeared on her face.
"Sister-in-law, please talk to my brother about this."
"I'm so old, it's so embarrassing to still be learning to read."
At this point, Xiuhua blushed and lowered her head.
She is illiterate, so if she goes to school, she will definitely have to sit with the students in the lower grades.
Sitting among a bunch of little kids, it's embarrassing just thinking about it.
After finishing the milk powder in the bowl, she took two slices of the pig liver that Ning Jing had brought in and mashed them.
Then she tried feeding it to the twins, but she was worried that they wouldn't be used to meat and might vomit.
Unexpectedly, after the pig liver paste was put into their mouths, the twins smacked their lips and swallowed it.
Seeing this, Ning Jing couldn't help but smile.
Pork liver puree is much more nutritious than sweet potato, and it will definitely help raise the twins to be plump and healthy.
"What's there to be ashamed of? Once you can read, go out and see if they'll envy you."
Don't you think about it? Of the girls in the village who go to school, how many people look down on them?
I know what you're worried about. Just have your older brother teach you a few more times, and you can go straight to the advanced class.
Ning Jing touched the twins' cheeks and then said.
Xiuhua fell silent after hearing what her sister-in-law said.
She thought of Aunt Lan Hua's daughter, Tan Xiaohuan, who was studying in town.
When Tan Xiaohuan went to school in town, she would take her younger siblings to dig for wild vegetables on the hillside.
Back then, Xiuhua was actually quite envious of Tan Xiaohuan, who went to school humming a song and with a big smile on her face.
However, she knew her family's situation.
With so many younger siblings, we relied entirely on our parents and sister-in-law working in the fields to earn a few work points.
Actually, her father and mother had once discussed sending her to school.
I was overjoyed at the time, but for some reason, it all fizzled out later.
As she grew older, Xiuhua had long since given up on studying.
But now that her sister-in-law has said these words, her previously dormant heart seems to have been rekindled and is moved.
"Sister-in-law, can I really read?"
Seeing that Xiuhua was interested, Ning Jing immediately patted her chest and said with great confidence, "Don't worry, your sister-in-law will learn with you, you'll definitely be able to learn."
She refused to believe that someone with Fu Hongxing's name and a 985 university degree couldn't teach a primary school student.
Pfft~ Xiuhua burst out laughing when she saw her sister-in-law's expression.
Yes, with her older brother back, what is she afraid of?
After Xiuchun and Tiedan finished their meal, they had already taken Siya and run out with baskets.
Ning Jing waited for Xiu Hua to finish washing the dishes before inviting her into the house and bringing out the cloth she had exchanged in town.
"Xiuhua, take this piece of cloth and make clothes for Xiuchun, Tiedan, and Siya."
Make yourself a set of clothes using this piece.
"For the rest, I'm thinking of making a cover for the quilt I have at home, so it'll be easier to remove and wash later."
She sat on the edge of the bed, separating the three colors of fabric as she spoke.
At this point, Ning Jing frowned slightly.
If things go according to her wishes, it would be best to replace the cotton wadding inside as well.
Even with this tattered blanket, you wouldn't feel hot under it.
"Sister-in-law, where did you buy this fabric?"
Xiuhua stared in shock at the new cloth in front of her. Although it had some flaws, it was new cloth!
It must have cost a lot of money, right?
