Lin Lan was not afraid of her. After laughing for a while, she said, "Haonan and Qiaoqiao don't have much to do. I'll take them home to stay for a few days and send them back after the New Year. Let Qiaoqiao and Mai Sui get close to each other. If Haonan has any minor problems, I'll let Dawang take care of him."
At this time, children do not go to school and do not seek to achieve great success. Even if they do not have major problems, they still have many minor ones, which is enough to make people suffer.
Lin Mei went to call the children, and soon Zheng Qiaoqiao and Haonan came over.
Zheng Qiaoqiao is the same age as Mai Sui and looks like her father, with red lips and white teeth. She is very beautiful. People say that she and Mai Sui look like a pair of twins.
The good boy was dressed neatly but he had a big snotty nose. It was cold in June and many children had snotty noses out of habit.
Qiaoqiao greeted Fourth Aunt obediently, and Haonan happily came into Lin Lan's arms.
Seeing that big snot was about to rub on her clothes, Lin Lan stopped him in time and took out toilet paper to wipe it for him, "I was thinking of taking you to live with your sister for a few days. You have such a big snot, won't your brothers and sisters laugh at you?"
When the good man heard this, he immediately sucked it back with force.
Lin Lan: “…………”
Qiaoqiao is a typical farm girl, quiet, gentle, and well-behaved, without any aggressiveness. Because she is too well-behaved, she is a little shy and not lively enough. She looks like a sensible girl of fifteen or sixteen. She has inherited Zheng Yaozu's looks and honesty, and Lin Mei's stability and ability, but she is not frivolous or aggressive. She is well-behaved and everyone loves her.
Lin Lan said she would take his sister and brother home to stay for a few days.
Qiaoqiao showed a happy expression on her face, but she looked at Lin Mei first and asked softly, "Mom, is it okay?"
Lin Mei naturally agreed, "It's more comfortable to go to your fourth aunt's house than to live at your grandmother's house. Go ahead and get close to your cousins and Mai Sui." She also asked Qiaoqiao to take her brother's house to tidy up some things and bring some food and the like.
Lin Lan smiled and said, "No need, I still have this little bit of food."
Lin Mei said, "That won't work. Your food isn't blown in by the wind. My nephew won't come to live here. If he did, I'd be happy to have him."
She pulled Lin Lan and said on a whim, "Lan Huahua, let's make our children in-laws."
"What?" Lin Lan was shocked. "We are twin sisters."
"Go to hell!" Lin Mei slapped her. "Look, Da Wang, Er Wang, or San Wang, it doesn't matter which one, arrange a marriage with Qiao Qiao. In a few years, when they are fifteen or sixteen years old, they can get married."
Lin Lan had a cold expression on her face the whole time. You say your thing and I just glare at you coldly.
Lin Mei laughed and said, "What's that expression on your face? You're making a funny face like a child."
Lin Lan: "Don't mention that they are cousins. Even if they are not related, I will not agree."
Lin Mei: "You look down on me, Qiaoqiao. Even though my son was thrown away and no one picked him up, my daughter..." She counted a hundred good things.
Lin Lan: "If it's so good, why don't I take her home and make her my concubine? Why would I marry a close relative as my daughter-in-law? Don't you know that we should have good birth and upbringing? Close relative marriage is not allowed. Don't you promote it in your team?"
Lin Lan has promoted it to all the nearby teams.
Lin Mei naturally didn’t understand these things. They were all married through their aunt’s and uncle’s families, so why couldn’t they do the same?
She also thought the daughter of a noble family was honest and was afraid that she would be bullied by a dishonest man. If she were to marry a daughter-in-law, she knew her own nature and would not bully other daughters of a noble family, but her daughter of a noble family would be in trouble and would be afraid of being bullied by a pig. If she were to marry her sister, she would feel at ease, and she liked Erwang the most, thinking that he was gentle and considerate and would definitely love his daughter-in-law.
Lin Lan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Qiaoqiao is still young. When she grows up, I will find her someone you like."
Qiaoqiao's ending in her previous life was not good either. She married a selfish and controlling man. He was impotent and suspected his wife of being unfaithful. She was once as beautiful as a flower, but she suddenly aged by ten years after marriage.
In this life, I will naturally not let her repeat the same mistake.
"Then I'll remember it. Don't fool me."
Lin Lan said she wanted to visit Mrs. Zheng and have a chat, but before she left, Mrs. Zheng came to find her.
Mrs. Zheng was busy watching over another weaving shop. When she heard that Lin Lan was coming, she hurried over to say hello.
Lin Lan said, "Auntie, just keep busy. I was just about to go talk to you."
Mrs. Zheng laughed and said, "It doesn't matter who you ask. You're so busy but you still come to see me. I'm happy."
At this moment, she was helping Lin Mei to watch over the women who were working and giving them instructions, so she didn't have much time to serve Haonan, who was more sensible.
Lin Lan exchanged a few words with her and then left. She and Lin Mei went home. The days were short in June and she wanted to go home early.
On the way, Lin Mei said, "How could the second brother's family be like this? I am so angry that I am dying."
Lin Lan was surprised and asked, "Why are you talking about the second brother's family?"
"I didn't want to tell you, but I was feeling very uncomfortable. If I don't tell you, I don't know who to tell." Lin Mei was angry.
Lin Lan asked her to tell the story, and she got angry after hearing it. "Is she really like that?"
"Not bad at all. She has said several times before with sarcasm that I gave you cloth but not her, and I gave you a scarf but not her. Later, when she heard that I wanted to form a partnership with the brigade, she immediately asked her family to join. There weren't many things in the first place, and the brigade had to have a few people. If I divided it up here and there, what would I be doing? Besides, her family and I are not in the same brigade. They are in the back. How can we divide it up for her?"
"But she went to my parents' home to report me! Isn't that stupid? I turned it into a sideline for the brigade, and she reported me? I didn't even have to show up, the brigade would have blocked it. But I was really mad, how could there be such an ungrateful person. You see, among all the things we brought back over the years, what was not picked up by her first? My mother originally said that she would keep it and return it to us when we needed it later, but she tricked them all away. Even later, I didn't leave anything behind at my parents' home, but she still picked them all up..."
Lin Mei couldn't stop talking.
She was not such a nagging person, she was just too angry, she didn't expect her family would stab her in the back. If there was no evidence, she would never have thought of it.
"Don't be angry, let's talk it out with her in the first month of the year."
Lin Mei felt relieved after complaining, but she didn't want to care about it. "Forget it, I won't argue with her this time, so as to save my mother from getting into trouble."
Lin Lan talked about Tang Hehua avoiding her again, "Did I offend her in some way? She avoids me every time." Lin Lan went back to her parents' home several times this year, but did not see Tang Hehua. If Sanwang had not caught the evidence this time, Lin Lan would not have thought much about it.
"Don't be angry with her. Your husband is a caring family and your children are obedient. You are living a good life like honey, making people jealous. It's not worth getting angry. She is hiding from us, and we don't care about her. We won't give her good things in the future." Lin Mei said angrily. She said she didn't want Lin Lan to be angry, but she was even angrier than when she was reported.
Lin Lan smiled and nodded, "I'm not angry. I'm telling you, don't get angry at any time. Getting angry hurts your body. It hurts yourself. If you get sick, who can replace you?"
The two sisters laughed, and Lin Mei took her hand and said, "Oh, Lan Huahua, I never thought in my dreams that we could be like this."
Thinking about how they used to fight each other whenever they met, and even when they didn't meet, Lin Mei felt that life was really not a human life. How could such good sisters fight each other like that?
Lin Lan smiled but said nothing.
Lin Mei talked about their father again. Old Lin was not a wise man. Lin Mei said he was an old fool who favored sons over daughters. He was too stubborn to take care of things when he was old. He protected his sons and grandsons. No matter how bad his daughter-in-law was, she was still his family. But his daughter-in-law was just a stranger.
He had previously spoken on behalf of Tang Hehua, wanting Lin Mei to help her brother's family with the weaving business, but Lin Mei had refused at the time.
I guess Tang Hehua was badly offended by this matter.
Anyway, Lin Mei has a big opinion of her father. "You said you didn't expect him to be very capable, but you shouldn't hold him back, right? Like my father-in-law, he doesn't have much ability and doesn't care about anything. He either works or sleeps. This is good. I'm afraid that he doesn't have the ability but likes to stir up trouble and make trouble. And my second brother is the same. He is getting more and more unreasonable. He just listens to his wife all day long. If he continues like this, he might as well go to Old Tang's house and be a son-in-law."
Lin Mei looked at the sky and stopped talking. "Forget it, I won't talk about them. It's annoying."
Lin Lan: "Don't hold back your anger. We have no obligation to cover for the Tang family. We should sit down and talk it out and settle the accounts. Otherwise, they will think we owe them."
Lin Mei nodded, "Okay, I'll let her celebrate the New Year first, and then I'll settle the account with her in the first month of the year."
When Lin Lan returned home, she saw Zheng Yaozu looking very uneasy, as if a needle had been stuck in his butt.
Han Qingsong sat in the main hall with a majestic posture, looking calm and steady, as if he was the master.
Lin Lan laughed as she watched.
Lin Mei glared at Zheng Yaozu and said, "You need someone like your brother-in-law to deal with you!"
Zheng Yaozu took a deep breath, wiped the sweat off his face, and finally relaxed.
Oh my god, my life is about to end.
Han Qingsong exchanged a few pleasantries with Lin Mei, and then Lin Mei started packing up.
Lin Lan asked her to take the food, but she couldn't carry it as she had two children to take care of.
Lin Mei: "Look, you brought me so many things."
Lin Lan: "That was given by your brother-in-law. Besides, how much cloth did you give me? We have no shortage of clothes or shoes now. Thank you so much."
Lin Mei put her arm around her shoulders and whispered in her ear, "Watch your man carefully, don't let a young vixen seduce him."
Lin Lan glared at her and asked, "What are you talking about?" She glanced at Han Qingsong, and Han Qingsong looked over at her with a questioning look in his eyes.
Lin Lan narrowed her eyes.
When going home, Han Qingsong asked Lin Lan to ride the bicycle with the child while he walked behind.
Lin Lan said, "It can fit. This bike is big. I'll hold Haonan and Qiaoqiao will sit in the front."
Han Qingsong refused, "I can keep up."
After hearing what he said, Lin Lan actually wanted to give it a try. As a result, she took her two children with her and set out. She was exhausted and sweating, and Han Qingsong was running steadily beside her.
The good man shouted to his uncle to cheer him on.
Lin Lan had the illusion that she was riding a bike with a big wolfhound... She hoped that Director Han didn't know what she was thinking.
On the way home, Lin Lan was exhausted, but Han Qingsong only broke out a thin layer of sweat.
Lin Lan was a little unconvinced, so she touched his forehead, then reached in to touch his back, and sure enough, his underwear was not wet.
Haonan had already rushed into the yard like a moth, "I, Zheng Haonan, am here again!"
In the yard, Sanwang was whispering to Xiaowang, trying to trick Xiaowang into shaving his head like himself.
Xiaowang still remembers that his mother said he looked better with hair. In fact, Lin Lan was afraid that he would feel cold, and it would be especially cold with a shaved head.
At this time, seeing Haonan flying in, the two were startled, and then they were delighted. Sanwang immediately rushed over and hugged Haonan, "Haha, have you been beaten recently?"
Haonan laughed so happily that his snot started to come out again and flowed down.
Sanwang dodged in disgust: "Oh, we have crossed the river, it's so dirty!"
Xiaowang also had a strange expression on his face, and he subconsciously sucked his nose, trying to help Haonan suck back the snot.
Lin Lan came over with Qiaoqiao, and seeing that the yard was in chaos, she called for the children to come out quickly.
Mai Sui also ran out and told Lin Lan that his elder brother and younger brother were going to cut cattails. Actually, there was coal at home, so they didn't need to cut cattails, but Erwang couldn't help it...
Mai Sui was very surprised to see Sister Qiaoqiao coming as well, and happily held her hand, "Sister Qiaoqiao, you should stay longer."
Qiaoqiao smiled gently and nodded, very shyly.
Sanwang came over and opened his mouth wide, "Wow, Sister Qiaoqiao, you are getting more and more beautiful."
Qiaoqiao blushed and said shyly, "Sister Mai Sui is prettier than me, and Xiaowang is even more handsome."
Mai Sui said openly, "We are both good-looking, but he is not! A bald charcoal head! Hahaha."
Sanwang rubbed his head, refusing to admit defeat. He said to Haonan, "You know, bald guys are the smartest."
The good man shook his head, "My grandpa is bald, and grandma always calls him an idiot."
Sanwang: "Your grandfather is old, a bald kid is smart." He pulled out an idiom he had learned, "You know the idiom of being extremely smart, right? Only smart people have bald heads, no hair!"
A good man does not go to school and does not like to study, so naturally he would not know the idiom "clever and intelligent", but Sanwang spoke it very conscientiously, so he was jealous.
Haonan turned to Lin Lan and said, "Fourth Aunt, I want to shave my head like a monk, too."
Sanwang patted him and pointed at his head, "This is Sanwang's head, why is it a monk's head?"
The noise was so cheerful that the yard sounded like a hundred ducks quacking.
When it got dark, Han Qingsong had gone to pick up his two sons. Mai Sui invited Qiaoqiao to cook with her and even took out Erwang's recipe to look at with her.
Two little girls sat in front of the stove, both as pretty and clean as flower buds, one bright and the other delicate, and they looked particularly charming in the firelight.
Lin Lan was delighted.
…………
In order to entertain the two little guests, Lin Lan specially made some new dishes.
The small squid is very delicious. You can stir-fry it with some leeks, or make soup directly. You can also fry some hairtail, stir-fry some green onions and eggs, and add some home-cooked dishes to prepare a whole table.
Country people don't understand seafood, especially children. They think that only stewed meat and chicken are good meals. They don't know the benefits of other foods that they have never eaten or seen.
Lin Lan's children were raised to love eating. Just by smelling the delicious food, their appetites would be whetted.
The squid soup in particular has the sweet taste of seafood and the fragrance of leeks. The white soup is topped with green leeks, which is a perfect combination.
Because of the arrival of two little guests, the seats for dinner were rearranged. Mai Sui and Qiaoqiao sat together, Xiaowang and Haonan were together with Sanwang, Dawang and Han Qingsong, and Lin Lan and Erwang.
Lin Lan looked at the father and son who looked very similar, one big and one small, across from her, then at the two girls who looked like twins, then at the three cute boys over there, from older to younger, and finally at the gentle and handsome butler beside her. She felt particularly good and wanted to eat two more cakes.
Erwang first served Lin Lan a bowl of soup.
Lin Lan smiled and said, "Serve a bowl for Qiaoqiao as well."
Erwang took a bowl to help Qiaoqiao serve the food. Qiaoqiao took it with both hands and said softly, "Mai Sui, can we share one bowl?" At that time, most families had many people and small tables, and there were not enough bowls at home, so they basically did not care about one bowl per person. At first, Lin Lan was not used to it, but later she followed the local customs and it didn't matter, anyway, there were no outsiders.
Mai Sui smiled and said, "Of course. Anyway, just don't share a bowl with the bald guy. If you don't drink it when it's hot, and drink it up after you cool it down, whoever shares a bowl with him will be glared at. Haha."
Sanwang smiled across the dining table and picked up a squid. "Sister Qiaoqiao, if you sleep with Sister Mai at night, be careful that she kicks you. She is not honest when she is sleepy." He gestured with the squid. "Just kick like this."
Then he received a death stare from Miss Mai.
Sanwang turned around and gave the good man a squid slap and immediately changed the subject, "See, the squid is also bald."
Good Man: "There are a lot of big hairs under the crowfoot."
Xiao Wang: "Those are the hands and feet of a squid."
So the three kids started to research whether it was the squid's hand or foot.
Lin Lan felt like she couldn't eat anymore. "Wait until we're done eating before you guys start studying. It'll affect our appetite. Qiaoqiao, just pick up whatever you want to eat. It's like being at home at Fourth Aunt's. Don't be polite."
Qiaoqiao smiled at her, but did not dare to look at Han Qingsong and Dawang, and quickly lowered her head to eat.
Lin Lan winked at Han Qingsong, asking him why he was so serious. His niece was so scared that he didn't dare to look up.
Han Qingsong: "...eat more."
Qiaoqiao's hand trembled as she held the eggs, but she managed to steady herself. She didn't dare to look up, and whispered, "Okay."
Han Qingsong looked at Lin Lan innocently, indicating that it was not his fault.
Lin Lan smiled and asked the children to eat more.
Over there, Sanwang has successfully persuaded Haonan and Xiaowang to agree to shave their heads, and has been ordered to lobby the second and eldest brothers.
Da Wang glared at him, and San Wang immediately turned around and spoke to his second brother, "Second brother, are you and Hao Nan sleeping in the same bed tonight?"
Winter is different from summer. In winter, you need to cover yourself with a quilt, and there are no extra quilts for Haonan to make a bed for himself.
Erwang was startled with a lingering fear. Yes, I didn’t expect this problem.
Lin Lan said: "It's okay, let Xiao San Ge and Hao Nan sleep together."
Sanwang immediately rubbed his hands, "Okay!"
He gave the good man a piece of egg with his chopsticks and said, "Good man, eat well."
Many times he would hear his mother asking his father to eat some tonic food at breakfast, and he thought that he needed to eat something tonic because he was tired from sleeping. In fact, Lin Lan usually gave Han Qingsong the food she didn't like, and asked him to eat something tonic as a joke.
Haonan handed Xiaowang another squid and said, "Brother, you should eat some too."
Lin Lan lowered her head and ate in silence, pretending not to hear.
Xiao Wang thought that this was a sign of everyone's concern, so he also stood up and helped Da Wang pick up some food, "Brother, give me some more."
Da Wang: “…………” He glanced at San Wang, “Well, get enough strength to hit the ball.”
Sanwang immediately felt a slight headache.
Erwang saw that Qiaoqiao was embarrassed to serve more soup after she finished it, so he helped her serve more. The second time, he put less soup but more ingredients.
Qiaoqiao smiled at him.
After dinner, the children played in the yard to digest their food, while Lin Lan took Mai Sui and Qiaoqiao to see the flowered cloth she had bought.
"Come, ladies, pick out the ones you like and I'll make you a coat to wear during the New Year."
Qiaoqiao was embarrassed and waved her hands, "Aunt Si, you don't have to make it for me, my mother did it."
"Your mother made it for you, your fourth aunt made it for you, and your sister designed it for you. It looks really good."
Mai Sui picked out a green one with white flowers for herself, and helped Qiaoqiao pick out a pink one with small red flowers, "Sister, this looks good on you."
Qiaoqiao smiled and said, "You look bright and beautiful in this."
Lin Lan looked at them and said, "You two have fair skin, so you look good in anything you wear."
Mai Sui thought for a moment and said, "I see. We can make a piece of clothing with two colors of cloth."
She immediately gestured with it, pinching the edge of one piece with another piece, "This way there's a touch of pink in the green, and green in the pink, just like a flower tree, very refreshing."
Qiaoqiao was surprised and said, "You can still do this, Mai Sui, you are so amazing."
Mai Sui took out his book and said, "This is learning."
Lin Lan: "My dear, is this technique not up to par?"
Mai Sui put his arm around Lin Lan's shoulders, put his face close to hers, and encouraged her, "Mom, I believe you can do it."
Lin Lan nodded, "I have no choice but to serve you two."
After choosing the cloth, Mai Sui took Qiaoqiao to take a bath. She also took out the girl's vest that Lin Lan had made for her and had never worn before and gave it to Qiaoqiao. "I have several of them. I'll give you this one. Go back and sew two according to the example to wear alternately."
Qiaoqiao took a look and blushed, "If I wear this out..." How embarrassing.
Mai Sui: "Sister, this is a vest. You should wear something close-fitting inside. You have to wear it in the summer. You can't just wear short sleeves."
Lin Lan has already begun to instill in Mai Sui the awareness of girls' secondary sexual characteristics, asking her to pay attention to them in her daily life to avoid embarrassment.
Qiaoqiao took it and looked at it. It was made of light pink cotton cloth, like a small vest. When she put it on, there were a few cloth buttons on the front.
The buttons are made of cloth and will not rub you.
After Lin Lan and Han Qingsong's renovation, the bathroom can now be used to light a charcoal fire. There is a flue so there is no need to worry about gas poisoning. There is also an iron water tank for boiling hot water, so hot water can be obtained at any time.
Qiaoqiao was really enlightened.
She likes to be clean in her daily life, so she would just boil some water and wipe herself quietly, but she never thought that she could take a hot bath in the middle of winter, and it wouldn't be cold at all.
The two girls were whispering while taking a bath, looking very happy.
…
The next day, Lin Lan let Haonan go to school with his brothers and sisters to avoid him being bored at home alone. She left Qiaoqiao at home to help her with needlework and talk.
While working, Lin Lan asked Qiaoqiao many questions in a roundabout way, testing her mind and quietly instilling in her some issues that girls should pay attention to. The most important thing is the difference between men and women, and the precautions for girls during puberty. Lin Mei is not a meticulous person and will not pay attention to the development of girls. Girls don't understand, and sometimes they will inevitably be afraid, especially when it comes to breast development and the onset of menstruation.
She gave Qiaoqiao a vaccination first so that she wouldn't panic when the time comes.
Qiaoqiao lowered her head slightly, her cheeks slightly red, but she listened very carefully, nodding from time to time to indicate that she remembered it.
While I was busy, Yanyan came over with a book and called out at the door, "Is Teacher Lin home?"
Lin Lan responded and invited her in.
Yanyan ran in and called out "Teacher Lin". When she saw Qiaoqiao there, she smiled.
"Teacher Lin, this sister is so pretty."
Qiaoqiao blushed slightly.
Lin Lan introduced them to each other. Yanyan is one year older than Mai Sui and Qiaoqiao.
Yanyan talked to Qiaoqiao for a few words, then showed her homework to Lin Lan, "Teacher Lin, please help me correct it."
In fact, if Yanyan went to find a teacher, Han Qingping would help her, but she felt that since she didn't pay and she would not have the opportunity to go to school in the future, she couldn't bother the teacher anymore. In addition, she intuitively felt that Lin Lan could teach better than the teacher, so she thought it would be better for her to learn from Lin Lan.
Lin Lan explained the wrong questions to her and taught her some new words. Yanyan's learning ability is quite good. She can remember them after Lin Lan explains them several times.
"Teacher Lin, you explain it so clearly. I can understand it as soon as I listen." She had studied with Caihua before. Caihua is also in school now and comes back to give her extra lessons, but she always couldn't understand what Caihua said.
Lin Lan also taught her some tips for studying, including some techniques for summarizing the usage of Chinese characters, such as the difference between pinyin and the words "de", "di", and "de".
After chatting about study for a while, Yanyan started talking to Qiaoqiao.
She said with some envy: "Teacher Lin, the girls in your family are so pretty." No wonder Caihua was so jealous, even she thought they were so beautiful and she was so envious.
Lin Lan smiled and said, "Yan Yan, you are also good-looking. You have beautiful eyes, black and bright, with a clear and upright gaze, not evasive. This shows that your mind is pure and sincere." In other words, those who have evasive and insincere eyes are not pure and sincere enough.
Yanyan has a strong learning ability and can naturally understand things by analogy.
Yanyan was very happy to receive Lin Lan's compliment, and even looked at her eyes in the mirror. She originally thought that she was average-looking, and Cauliflower also said that she was not good-looking, but after Lin Lan's compliment, she felt that she was at least not that ugly.
After asking for advice, Yanyan said goodbye to Lin Lan, and Lin Lan asked Qiaoqiao to see her off.
Qiaoqiao sent Yanyan to the door, and then came back to continue helping Lin Lan.
Lin Lan said: "Qiaoqiao, do you think Yanyan is okay?"
Qiaoqiao said: "It's good, very easy to learn."
Lin Lan: "Yanyan's greatest strength is that she knows what she wants, what to do and how to do it. She has her own ideas and will not be manipulated by others."
Qiaoqiao naturally didn't expect this, and said admiringly: "Fourth Aunt, she is so amazing."
"Qiaoqiao, you are also very good. In the future, if you want something or have any ideas, you should speak them out, don't keep them in your heart. Sometimes if you don't say it out loud, even your own mother won't know." For example, if you like something or dislike something, or if you like someone or dislike someone, you should say it out loud.
Qiaoqiao bit her lip lightly and lowered her head to think and digest Lin Lan's words.
After a moment, she said, "Fourth Aunt, I, I, I also want to..."
Lin Lan looked at her with a smile, encouraged her with her eyes, and signaled her to say whatever she wanted.
"I want to study, too." She only knows a few of the simplest words and can't even write her own name.
Last night, when she was listening to the radio on the kang in the east room, she found that she was not even as good as Xiaowang. When she talked to Mai Sui, she often did not understand what Mai Sui said. She always felt that Mai Sui spoke very nicely and elegantly.
Now look at Yanyan. Even though she didn’t go to school, she actually learned to read from her fourth aunt. She really works very hard.
Does she think she can do it too?
Lin Lan said happily, "Of course, your family doesn't expect you to earn work points. If you go to school, at least you can learn to read, write letters, read newspapers and read books. Isn't that better than being blind?"
Qiaoqiao smiled brightly, her eyes sparkling, "Aunt Four, I want to study."
Lin Lan: "I'll tell your mother when I get home this time."
Qiaoqiao was so excited that her cheeks turned red, as if she had come up with a great idea.
Lin Lan went to find some study outlines that she had compiled for Da Wang's tutoring. At that time, she compiled a detailed one and a simplified one.
This detailed guide covers all the knowledge points for grades one, two, and three.
She gave the first grade copy to Qiaoqiao, and took out a pen and paper. She first taught her the correct way to hold a pen, and then taught her strokes, radicals, etc. She taught her the basics first, and then taught her pinyin.
It is boring at the beginning, and you need to have an interest in learning to persevere. After all, if you don’t go to school, you don’t have that kind of urgent learning responsibility, and it’s easy to give up.
Lin Lan also has a way to stimulate children's interests, just grasp what the children are interested in. Qiaoqiao looks quiet, but she also has things she likes. She likes basically everything that girls like, such as beautiful clothes, beautiful paintings, beautiful songs, delicious food, etc.
Lin Lan asked Qiaoqiao to name a few of her favorite things, and marked them with Chinese characters and pinyin, so that Qiaoqiao could look at them when she had time. She also wrote down the names and titles of her family members, and looked at them from time to time.
After noon, it was time to go home from school in the afternoon, but the child had not returned yet. Lin Lan wondered, "Qiaoqiao, you stay at home. I'll go check on him."
Lin Lan went to school and found the teachers and children standing in the yard, not knowing what they were doing.
She stood on tiptoe to take a look and saw Sanwang holding a child, and the two were wrestling with each other. Haonan next to them was also holding a child and was also wrestling hard.
Xiaowang stood aside to cheer for his brothers, while teachers Han Qingping and other students including Dawang were watching.
Lin Lan: “…” Have you all fallen into collective depravity?
