When Qiao Xin brought Nanny Qin into the courtyard, they noticed that the atmosphere was a little strange. Qiao Yunqing was checking the children's homework.
Qiao Yunqing sat there with a serious face, and the children stood one by one. Xu and Zhang stood beside them, with their hands clasped, trembling with fear.
Seeing her come in, Qiao Yunqing just nodded as a gesture, still not putting down the textbook in his hand!
On the other side, Mo Jiaquan and Shi Yazi were also standing with their hands down, looking nervous. When they saw her, they rushed over as if they had seen a savior: "Madam, Madam Qin, you are here!"
Mo Jiaquan and Shi Yazi quickly stepped forward to pay their respects to Qiao Xin, and attentively brought a chair over, served tea and water, and said, "How about I cook something for you?"
Qiao Xin didn't care and glanced at them with amusement, "We just came here to eat, you can do whatever you want, don't bother me!" Shi Yazi was embarrassed. He just didn't want to be questioned about his knowledge by the Second Master, so he took the initiative to find something to do.
Every time he was asked to study, he was afraid because the Second Master had such a strong aura that he would feel very nervous when facing him, fearing that his answer would not be satisfactory!
Qiao Xin's attitude made the little guys who originally wanted to come over to show their courtesy dare not move, and they looked at Qiao Xin eagerly. Qiao Xin moved her eyes away ruthlessly, just lowered her head to drink tea, and had no intention of saving them from the water.
Oh, I’m weak and can’t help you. You’d better wish you good luck!
Qiao Yunqing suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at the large characters written on the straw paper in front of him. He endured it again and again, but he still couldn't bear it anymore.
"Qiao Renwu, can you tell me what is written here? Is there anything that can be clearly seen on this piece of paper?"
Qiao Erlang tapped his toes on the ground, not daring to look up: "If I write too big, the teacher says it's a waste of paper. If I write too small, the pen won't listen to me. Who made the word 'win' have so many strokes? This straw paper is too rough and absorbs ink very well. It gets blurred while I'm writing!"
Qiao Erlang's voice became quieter as he spoke. He really didn't dare to look at his uncle's face. He had been practicing this character for almost two days, his hands were sore from writing, but he still couldn't grasp the rhythm. His uncle happened to check his progress today, and he was caught.
"Let me take a look!" Qiao Xin said curiously.
Qiao Yunqing handed the paper over silently. Qiao Xin took it and laughed. There were 20 winners on the yellow paper worth about 8k. Each one had his own soul and his own ideas. It was really hard for the little guy.
However, this paper absorbs ink and is rough, so it is not very suitable for children to learn to write. Qiao Xin thought of the gridded and squared paper used in elementary schools in later generations for calligraphy, and she had an idea.
Qiao Xin still said something honestly, "This character is indeed difficult. I can't write it well either. Don't be discouraged, Xiaoer. Wait until your uncle finishes his exams and I'll take some time out to teach you. I'll get you some good paper some other day."
"Second child, your hands are still too soft to hold a pen too early. Let's wait a little longer. How about letting them read and recite the textbook first?"
Qiao Yunqing was silent for a moment, and did not criticize Qiao Erlang anymore, but he punished him as he should have, "Memorize the Thousand Character Classic in advance, and come to me tomorrow!"
"yes"
Qiao Erlang breathed a sigh of relief and quickly agreed. Reciting is much easier than writing.
She turned her head and grinned at Qiao Xin, revealing her cute little canine teeth and shallow dimples, which was so adorable. Qiao Xin couldn't help but reach out and pull his cheek. The little guy stared at her with his eyes wide open!
When Qiao Yunqing saw this, he knew that today's study could not continue. So he put down the books and asked the children to go over and greet Qiao Xin.
After not seeing each other for a month or two, the children missed Qiao Xin very much. They ran over to surround her and talked non-stop. Qiao Xin touched this one and hugged that one and enjoyed it very much!
Nanny Qin stood aside with a smile on her face. Qiao Xin was the least grandmother-like of all the elders he had ever met. She didn't act like an elder, and she didn't punish children at will. What was even more rare was that she could always listen to the opinions of the younger generation, and didn't forcefully intervene when she didn't understand something.
Compared with those patriarchs who always show off their authority, Qiao Xin's respect for the younger generation is more likely to win people's hearts.
Zhang had seen a lot of things in the city during this period, and had studied hard with Nanny Qin for a while. Seeing that the children were still noisy after a while, she couldn't help but blurt out: "Look at what you are like. You don't stand or sit properly. Have you forgotten the rules you learned?"
The air in the yard was quiet, and everyone was looking at her. Zhang suddenly became nervous, realizing that she had said something wrong. If anyone was to blame for not following the rules, Qiao Xin would be the first one to bear the brunt of the blame. Wasn't this blaming the mother-in-law?
She explained incoherently, "Mom, that's not what I meant..."
Qiao Xin raised her hand and pointed at her, saying, "Aren't rules something that people with nothing to do should always pay attention to? We've only been eating meals for a few days? Why don't you follow the rules when I'm talking to my grandchildren?"
Zhang was so frightened that she knelt down and said, "Mother, I know I was wrong!"
Qiao Xin sighed, turned her head and glanced at Qiao Yunqing who was silent, then said to Zhang: "Who have you been associating with recently? Don't be so foolish as to believe everything they say. You have learned the good things that Nanny Qin taught you in a wrong way. You have painted the skin of a tiger but not its bones, and now it has become a mess, a mess.
I let you learn the rules not to trap yourself in a cage and restrict your actions, but to let you live more freely. Children, how old are you, you have to be like an old-fashioned person, talk and laugh, don't run or jump, don't show your teeth when you smile, don't walk with a breeze, just like a puppet, then you don't have to learn the rules! "
