Chapter 68
Huo Mansion Backyard
Luo Chaoyan was playing with Huo An in the garden.
She sat comfortably on the stone bench, watching him kicking the cuju back and forth like a stupid penguin, and she felt very happy. Since I no longer have to go to school, my life has been very comfortable. She finally didn't have to listen to all that nonsense anymore. .br>
"Young Madam!"
Pineapple ran over panting.
Seeing her coming, Luo Chaoyan quickly poured her a cup of tea, looked at her with interest, and said, "How is it, have you found out?"
Fengli drank a cup of tea, and after catching her breath, she nodded and said, "I have found out everything."
“Hurry up and tell me!”
Fengli said, "Mr. Gongsun is very strict in class. If anyone falls asleep in his class, not only do they have to stand and listen, but they also have to recite everything they learned that day. If they can't recite it, they not only have to copy it as punishment, but also have to clean the classroom."
“Puff!”
Luo Chaoyan couldn't stop laughing and said, "Oh my! It seems Huo Rui is having a hard time."
Fengli nodded and smiled, "I heard that he was punished today."
"What a pity I didn't get to see it with my own eyes!" Luo Chaoyan said with a smile.
Shu Lan held her forehead with her hand and said angrily, "Young Madam!" Could you please not make that gloating smile on your face so obvious?
"Mother!"
Suddenly Huo An shouted at Luo Chaoyan in grievance.
Luo Chaoyan and others looked up and saw him fall to the ground, so they hurried forward.
Huo An raised his chubby little hand and stretched it towards her, aggrieved, and said, "Hold me!"
Luo Chaoyan looked at his chubby hands covered in mud, shook her head and said earnestly, "An An, you are a little man, and little men should be brave and strong! When you encounter difficulties, you have to find a way to stand up on your own."
Shu Lan's lips twitched when she heard this. Why did she feel that her young mistress was on the road to becoming a vicious stepmother?
Huo An pursed her lips, looking confused.
Luo Chaoyan thought for a moment and said, "How about this, if you can stand up on your own, I'll reward you with a roasted chicken leg tonight."
"Deal!" Huo An immediately jumped up happily.
Luo Chaoyan gently pinched his chubby face and said, "Our An An is so well behaved!"
Come on, it’s up to each other to fight! Shu Lan could not help but complain inwardly.
At noon, Huo Rui came back from school with an ugly look on his face.
Luo Chaoyan held Huo An's hand, each holding a string of candied haws, pretending to see him inadvertently.
"Hey! Xiao Rui'er, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Luo Chaoyan asked with concern.
Huo An blinked, thought of something, and said in a baby voice: "Brother! Take the medicine...Okay!"
Phew!
If she could show that she was not too proud, Luo Chaoyan would have wanted to laugh out loud.
"Yes! An An is right. If you feel unwell, you need to take medicine to get better!"
As she said this, she was about to order someone to find a doctor.
Huo Rui had been with her for so long, how could he not know what she was planning. He gritted his teeth and said, "No, I'm fine!"
"Xiao Rui'er, if you really feel uncomfortable, you can't force it. Otherwise, grandma will be worried." Luo Chaoyan taught with a loving face.
"If I say no, then no, stop pretending!"
Seeing Master Huo approaching not far away, Luo Chaoyan pretended to be sad and said, "Xiao Rui'er, how can you say that about your mother? I'm just worried about your health."
"No way!" Huo Rui said, "If you really want to do good for me, then ask your father to ask Mr. Gongsun to leave." The old man just kept asking him questions all day long, which made him tense up in class every day and he no longer dared to be lazy.
"Mr. Gongsun is the most talented gentleman in the Dayong Dynasty. I don't know how many people want him to guide them. Now that you have the opportunity, why don't you cherish it?" Luo Chaoyan said disappointedly.
"That old man only knows how to make trouble for others. I don't care about him!"
"You..." Huo Rui felt something was wrong. It was impossible for this woman to act if nothing was wrong.
He turned around and saw his grandfather looking at him seriously. It’s over, he has fallen into this woman’s trap again.
"Grandfather!" Huo Rui hurriedly saluted.
Luo Chaoyan also bowed and saluted: "Father!"
Master Huo looked at Huo Rui sternly and said, "Mr. Gongsun is a great scholar respected by everyone in the Dayong Dynasty. How can you address him like that? Where have you learned any rules?"
Huo Rui pursed his lips, lowered his eyes and said: "Grandfather, grandson...grandson knows his mistake!"
Master Huo nodded when he saw his sincere attitude and continued, "Your mother cares about your health and gives you kind advice and guidance. You should learn to be grateful."
"Yes! Grandson has made note of it." Huo Rui said.
Master Huo looked at Luo Chaoyan and said, "Xiao Rui has been spoiled by your grandmother since he was a child. He is a bit domineering and willful, which makes things difficult for you."
"What father said is true. It's inevitable that children are naughty. As elders, we just need to teach them carefully." Luo Chaoyan smiled and said, "Besides, my daughter-in-law likes Xiao Rui'er very much." That was impossible. She was being merciful by not making him cry.
Master Huo nodded, "It's good as long as you can live in harmony!"
He looked at Huo An and saw that his eyes were clear and his little face was smiling. He felt relieved. It seemed that it was right to let his son marry Luo. The little grandson really likes her.
"Grandfather! Eat!" Huo An held up the candied haws for him to eat.
The corners of Luo Chaoyan's lips twitched when she saw this. This is the Grand Tutor of the Dayong Dynasty. He's eating candied haws? It doesn't look like a good match no matter how you look at it.
Master Huo raised his eyebrows. He was still wondering whether to accept his grandson's filial piety, but then he saw him stretch out a little finger.
"One!" Huo An said seriously.
Master Huo was stunned. Does this mean that he can only eat one? He chuckled and said, "An An, do you know how many candied haws there are in this string?"
Huo An nodded, stretched out a hand, and said, "Five!"
Upon hearing this, Master Huo smiled even more. He didn't expect that his little grandson actually knew how to count.
Luo Chaoyan quickly flattered him, "Father, An An is very smart. I just taught him to count casually on weekdays, and he remembered it. I think he will have a bright future."
Master Huo nodded with satisfaction, looked at her and said, "You taught very well!"
"It's what a daughter-in-law should do." Luo Chaoyan looked humble. It turned out that her "raising" and teaching of the little fat boy were not in vain. She decided to give him more homework later. If he were to please the elders, wouldn't it be easier for her to request freedom to go out in the future? She seemed to see the bustling streets and delicious food outside waving at her.
She looked at Huo An with approval.
Huo An also smiled sweetly at her. But I didn’t know that I was about to enter the ranks of early childhood education.
Master Huo praised Huo An, told Huo Rui to study hard, and then went to the study.
After seeing him leave, Luo Chaoyan and Huo An started eating the candied haws without any hesitation.
"An An, are the candied haws delicious?"
Huo An nodded and ate happily with a full mouth.
Seeing that they were only concerned with eating without even raising their heads, Huo Rui was so angry that his teeth were chattering. Had his silly brother completely abandoned him?
"Oh! Xiao Rui'er, you're still here!" Luo Chaoyan said in surprise, "I thought you went back to your room to study."
Huo Rui felt that if he stayed any longer, he might get so angry that he roared. So he glared at her fiercely and left.
Luo Chaoyan clapped her hands and watched his leaving back with a smile.
"An An, let's go back and count!"
