Chapter 1798: Things Are Different Now 11

Wen Ruyu's attitude towards Xibao and his brothers and sisters was completely different from her attitude towards Cheng Baoguo. Her eyes were so kind that it seemed as if a flower was blooming on her face.

"Let me guess, this is Fubao, this is Dundun, this is Xiongxiong, and this is Zhuangzhuang, right? The remaining one is naturally Ye Yan, whom Fubao often mentioned in his letters." The old man quickly matched the children in front of him with the photos and portraits one by one. The portrait was painted by Feng Qingxue in his spare time, using the line drawing technique, and he had sent it to Wen Ruyu for his comments.

Many times, Wen Ruyu admired his last disciple who never forgot to study despite her busy schedule. The artistic conception of her calligraphy and painting became more profound because of her experience. When the level reached a certain height, the technique became secondary.

Fubao bowed and said, "Grandpa Wen, hello, I finally see you!"

Wen Ruyu also liked this talented little apprentice. "I heard from your grandfather that you can stay at home for two years this time?"

"Well, Mom and Dad asked us to study hard with Grandpa and Grandma." Fubao extended his hands considerately, not caring how tender and fair his hands were, and supported the rough and prickly firewood behind Wen Ruyu. "Grandpa, I have a lot of questions and can't wait to get answers. Can I go and ask you tomorrow?"

Noticing her movements, Wen Ruyu felt a sense of relief on his shoulders and felt warm in his heart. He smiled and said, "Of course, if you have nothing to do in winter, just come and find me. Your Grandpa Jin is too idle to do anything, so let him teach you a trick or two later."

Xi Bao took the firewood from Wen Ruyu directly and said, "Grandpa Wen, I will take you home. We will distribute the fish to each family tomorrow and make delicious food in the evening. You and your grandparents can come to our house for dinner."

Wen Ruyu laughed, "What's wrong with simple food? I want you to accompany me!"

Lu Erxiong hid the farthest, which made everyone laugh.

On the way home, Wen Ruyu couldn't help but look at him again and again and said, "How unwilling is this kid to study? He looks smart and doesn't look like someone who is not good at studying."

Fubao held his arm and said happily, "Then let's go home together."

Fubao's brows were filled with joy, and his eyes sparkled like gems.

"Not tonight?" Wen Ruyu asked back.

Xi Bao said without hesitation: "It's not that I can't. It would be a great honor for us if you come to our house for dinner. It's just that we are not well prepared today, so we will only have simple meals tonight."

Lu Erxiong shouted: "I am very smart. I want to be a great general, not a nerd!"

Wen Ruyu pursed her lips and smiled, "Boy, let me tell you, we are all soldiers, but knowledgeable soldiers are promoted faster than illiterate ones, and they can understand the documents sent down from above and the art of war. In war, you can't just block bullets with your body, you also have to know how to plan, defend, command operations, and incite the enemy to revolt, etc. A soldier who leads by example and is very brave will certainly have a place to rise. He will become a regiment commander, but if he is well educated, he will go a step further and become a division commander or army commander. Do you still think that studying is useless?"

"Yes, Erxiong, those generals you admire are all very knowledgeable." Cheng Baoguo interjected casually.

Xi Bao also said, "Just like the Grandpa Zhou I told you about, Grandpa Zhou is very educated, has beautiful handwriting, and is familiar with many military strategies. When he was young, he uncovered enemy intelligence and commanded several famous battles. If he was illiterate and couldn't even read a map, Erxiong, do you think Grandpa Zhou could have done this?"

Because Erxiong is young and unstable, he has no interest in studying. As his parents, Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue do not force him to get good grades. However, they have thought about cultivating his interest in learning, but they are too busy to implement it, so they leave it to Xibao.
