Chapter 6 The First Big Pie
"It smells so good. What delicious food are you cooking? I'm hungry, you little bastard. Hurry up and bring me the delicious food you cooked!" Dadan rushed to the kitchen door and acted arrogantly.
Daya replied, "Grandma asked me to make some brown sugar water for my uncle."
Dadan'er's eyes lit up when he heard the brown sugar water. He realized it was cooked for his uncle and knew he might not be able to eat it. He said anxiously, "I don't care. You have to share it with me. If you don't, I'll ask my mother to beat you to death!"
If grandma blames him, it was Daya who gave him the share anyway.
How could Daya not know what Dadan was thinking? This kind of thing had happened before, but this time, Daya didn't want to do it again. In the past, if she didn't understand her grandmother, she would blame her later. Today's brown sugar water was for the injured uncle to drink, so it was different from usual.
"I can't give it to you. This belongs to my uncle. If you want it, go talk to grandma yourself."
Erdan, who was following behind Dadan, turned around and ran towards the main house. Before he arrived, a sweet voice rushed over.
"Grandma, where are you? Look what I brought you." Erdan had two pieces of straw hidden behind his back. Seeing Qin Fangci, he immediately handed the straw to her with a smile, "Grandma, it's sweet straw. I brought it back for you. My mother doesn't even have it."
Erdan lowered his voice when he said the last sentence. He already knew without any instruction that if he wanted to trick something out of his grandmother, the last sentence was the key.
As for my mother, I have to change it to "I don't even have milk", so that my mother will be happy and my brother will not be able to bully him anymore.
Qin Fangci also found a lot of fragments about Erdan from her original body's memory. He was a clever little boy.
But Qin Fangci didn't want to indulge his cleverness. If a child was clever but not down-to-earth, he would most likely become a gangster when he grew up.
Regardless of whether you are doing well or not, it is not good to steal, have affairs, and harm others and yourself.
Now that she is here, everyone in the family must correct their bad habits. Just as she and the Du mother and daughter said, no one can get Xiaowu into trouble for taking the imperial examination.
The straw he offered was not received for a long time. Erdan's hands were sore. He looked up at Qin Fangci in confusion, "Grandma? Don't you want to eat straw today?"
The child's thoughts were clearly written on his face. Erdan scratched his face and said, "Then I'll pick something else for you tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow, you'll start by learning to recognize characters at home with your uncle. You can go out and play when you've learned ten characters." Qin Fangci took the straw from Erdan's hand and said, "Xiaowu, teach him ten characters. Not only do you have to teach him how to read and recognize them, but you also have him draw them on the ground with a stick. Only if he draws correctly will he be considered a character."
"Ah?!" One person said it in his heart, and the other said it on his face.
Erdan looked at Qin Fangci in disbelief, "Grandma, I don't want to study. It's not that my family doesn't have the money to send me to school."
He had seen his uncle studying. His grandmother was locked in the room, just reading a book. She couldn't do anything, let alone go out to play.
He also thought about studying, but the thought of being locked up like his uncle made him give up.
He thought that when he grew up a little, he would go selling goods with his father, and he would be very happy if he could make money every day.
His father was a peddler and couldn't even recognize a few words, so why should he be required to recognize words?
"You're right. Our family doesn't have the money to send you to school right now, but knowing how to read doesn't conflict with not having money. What your uncle has learned is enough to teach you. Your father will make a lot of money in the future, and when he does, he will definitely send you to school. If you go there without knowing a single word, you'll be like me when I sent your uncle there. He couldn't even hold his head up in front of the teacher. If you can recognize a lot of words, the teacher will like students like you more, and he'll even look up to your parents. You'll be able to stand straight in front of the teacher, and your parents will be so proud!"
Yuan, who had been hunching over and eavesdropping, straightened her back, as if she were already standing in front of the teacher, and felt that what Qin Fangci said was absolutely right.
Erdan opened his mouth wide, "But I don't want to go to school. I have a brother at home. Can you take him there?"
Qin Fangci glanced towards the door calmly, "Big Egg has to study tomorrow too. Your father wants to make a big business. With all the money, how can your parents favor you two brothers? Of course they will send you both to school. If one of you brothers passes the exam to become a scholar, your mother will be the mother of the scholar. If both of you pass the exam to become a scholar, then your mother will be the mother of two scholars."
Yuan slapped her thigh and rushed in, "Learn! Mother, I'll learn whatever you say!"
Dadaner lost the argument with Daya and Erya, and rushed in with a roar. Qin Fangci quickly covered his mouth and looked at Yuan in embarrassment.
"Second brother, you know Xiaowu has a brain injury and is still feeling dizzy. I thought of making him a bowl of brown sugar water. Drinking it can replenish his blood and help his brain heal faster."
Yuan was still immersed in the joy of the two scholars' wives, and agreed without thinking, "Mom, you are right, give all the brown sugar water to me. My eldest and second children will be in trouble with you tomorrow."
The smile on Li Baisong's face was very awkward. Was his mother trying to trick him? "What are you talking about, sister-in-law? It's not a big deal."
"That's good that it's not a trouble. That's good that it's not a trouble. Little brother, you have to have a good rest. These two guys are too noisy. I took them out. Your second brother is also going to call a doctor. Why can't you find one now? It's really bad." Delaying medical treatment is a small matter, but how can she delay her precious son's study?
Before Dadan could even finish his complaint, Yuan grabbed his ear and dragged him away. "Go, go, go, you rascal! Didn't you see your uncle is lying there, unable to get up? It's just a bowl of brown sugar water. When your father makes a lot of money, I'll make you brown sugar water every day and lay two eggs for you."
Dadan'er was so greedy that he kept swallowing his saliva, "Mom, when will my dad make a lot of money?"
"Wait until your uncle gets better first." When the fifth brother gets better, the mother-in-law will give money to the head of the household. In two months, the head of the household will be able to earn a bag of money. Just thinking about it makes her happy.
Dadan felt like he was being cheated. He didn't want to wait for his father to make money, he wanted to eat now, so he pulled his ears away from Yuan's hands, sat on the ground and started howling.
Yuan's dream was shattered, and she was so angry that she raised her hand and slapped Dadan.
Dadan's wailing startled Sandan on Sanya's back. Sandan pouted and started crying loudly. Just as Sanya was about to carry Sandan a little further away, she felt something warm on her back. After a while, warm urine flowed down her back, into her trouser legs and spilled onto the ground.
The yard was noisy and chaotic. Daya was holding the brown sugar water and walked towards the main house without looking away. "Grandma, uncle's brown sugar water is ready."
"Is there any more in the pot?"
Daya's heart tightened, "There's still a little left to pour."
"You've taken good care of it. This is your uncle's sweet soup. No one else can touch it. The rest in the pot is left for you to drink. Remember, it's for your mother and you three girls."
