Chapter 213 Even the most sensible child will cram at the last minute
Zhao Lingmeng followed Zhao Houyang's gaze and saw that the moon was indeed quite round. "Yes, it is quite round. Do you want to hear the story of Chang'e flying to the moon?"
"Chang'e flies to the moon?" Zhao Houming was the first to speak. He was quite curious about all kinds of stories.
"Hmm! A fairy tale, do you want to hear it?"
"I do!" Zhao Houming answered in a very loud voice, and the two little ones nodded.
Zhao Lingmeng told the story to the three brothers in a dramatic tone. When they finished, they were already in the yard.
Qiuyue had already prepared dinner in the yard. Although Zhao Lingmeng felt that she had eaten, when she looked at the table full of delicious food, she felt that she could eat a little more.
But Zhao Houjing and his two brothers didn't want to eat dinner at the moment. After listening to the story, they had countless questions in their minds, so they looked at Zhao Lingmeng eagerly.
"Mom..." Zhao Houming acted coquettishly, wanting his mother to tell him more. Before he could finish his words, he saw his mother sitting at the table and picking up her chopsticks.
Zhao Lingmeng hadn't noticed how much this story, which she thought was very ordinary, attracted the three brothers: "Why are you looking at me? Come over and sit down to eat. It's so late, you three are not hungry yet!"
Zhao Houming touched his head, a little embarrassed: "Mom, we still want to ask you about the story you just told."
Zhao Lingmeng saw how embarrassed they were, thinking it was some big deal! But she ended up saying, "Let's talk while we eat! We don't have a rule in our house about not talking while eating or sleeping."
Brothers Zhao Houjing and Zhao Houyang immediately went to their seats happily, leaving Zhao Houming alone with a silly smile: "Hehehe, I forgot!"
After he finished speaking, he immediately walked to his seat and sat down.
Zhao Ling dreamed of the three brothers like this, and personally picked up their favorite food for each of them, "Eat quickly! We can talk while we eat."
Zhao Houjing and his two brothers had been hungry for a long time. Looking at the delicious food in their bowls, they thought that they could ask questions later, as eating was the most important thing.
So the three brothers ate their food for a while before they started asking all sorts of strange questions. By the time they were full, they had almost finished asking all sorts of strange questions.
"Mom, these stories are quite interesting. Why haven't you told them to me and my brother before?"
When Zhao Houyang heard his second brother say this, he couldn't help rolling his eyes, thinking that his second brother in this life was good in everything except the issue of snatching his mother away, for which he was very cunning.
Zhao Lingmeng, a master of keeping things balanced, would never fall for Zhao Houming's trap. "I didn't tell Yang'er about it either. The three of you heard it together."
"But my eldest brother and I are much older than my third brother." Zhao Houming made an expression that said, "I'm not easy to fool."
When Zhao Houjing heard that this guy wanted to win favor and wanted to take him with him, he could only rub his brows like a little adult, which looked quite funny.
"There's nothing I can do about it. You and your elder brother never asked me this question when you were little, and it was Yang'er who asked me this question today." Zhao Lingmeng was determined not to indulge Zhao Houming's bad habit of wanting everything to be the same. She was not a cuckold who kept things simple.
"Oh..." Zhao Houming was completely speechless now, because his mother was right, he and his elder brother seemed to have never asked.
"How are you three doing with your books lately?"
Zhao Houming hadn't recovered from the shock just now. When he heard his mother asking about homework, he looked up at Zhao Lingmeng in surprise: "Mom, why did you think of asking about this? We definitely haven't let up."
"I'm asking about the results, not the process! I can see the process."
"If there is no problem with the process, there will definitely be no problem with the result." Zhao Houming is still very confident about this.
Zhao Lingmeng looked at the other two children again.
"I'm fine too!" Zhao Houyang immediately smiled and took credit for it. But he was the most indifferent of the three. It wasn't that he wasn't diligent, it was just that he wasn't willing to spend more time. He still felt a little guilty, but he didn't show it on his face.
"I have no problem either!" Zhao Houjing also replied seriously. He also worked hard on studying, mainly because he had a hardworking younger brother who was always in competition. What could he do?
Zhao Lingmeng heard the three of them say so and nodded in satisfaction. "Okay, since you all said so, I will let your teacher give you a test tomorrow."
"Ah, we still have to take the exam?" Zhao Houyang was completely convinced. Why didn't they follow the procedure?
"Of course. This way I'll know if any of you are lying." Zhao Lingmeng said this in such a decisive tone, and then she gave Zhao Houyang a meaningful look.
Zhao Houyang lowered his head dejectedly: "Alright! You're the mother, you have the final say."
After Zhao Lingmeng finished her business, she became interested: "Come on, do you want to hear any more stories? Let me tell you."
As soon as Zhao Lingmeng said this, the room, which was a little noisy, became quiet in an instant.
Zhao Lingmeng looked at the three of them, implying that they should quickly say what they wanted to hear.
Zhao Houming was the first to lose his patience and could only speak out to break the silence: "... Mom, I'm a little sleepy. I'm going back to sleep first. You should go to bed early too."
After Zhao Houming finished speaking, he stood up, bowed, and immediately slipped away, leaving no chance for Zhao Lingmeng to keep him.
Zhao Houjing immediately understood what his younger brother meant. He must have gone back to study. As soon as he figured this out, he became anxious. His younger brother's studies were already more solid than his, and he didn't expect him to go back and study harder. How could that be?
"Mom, I'm sleepy too. I'm going back to sleep! You should get some rest too."
Zhao Houjing also saluted and ran away, his speed seemed as if something was chasing him.
Zhao Houyang couldn't sit still anymore after seeing his elder and second brothers running away, but he still pretended to yawn and said, "Mom, I'm sleepy too. You should go to bed early too."
After Zhao Houyang finished speaking, she also ran away with his short legs.
Zhao Lingmeng was stunned for a moment at the backs of the three of them, and then she became extremely happy, humming an unknown little tune.
Qiuyue and the others were also covering their mouths and laughing, mainly because the three young masters were so cute, especially the third young master, who even pretended to yawn and said he was sleepy.
"Forget about these three last-minute cramming idiots. Qiuyue, remember to tell the teacher tomorrow to make the questions more difficult, so they don't have the energy to argue over trivial matters like who to tell the story to."
"Yes!" Qiuyue happily agreed and helped Zhao Lingmeng wash up and go to bed.
Zhao Lingmeng had been busy all afternoon and was really sleepy now, so he didn't do anything else. He just washed up and went to bed with the help of Qiuyue and the others.
