Early the next day, before breakfast, Huang Yushu led Huang Yuanfang, Huasheng, and Liu, carrying Huang Fusheng, to the main room where the ancestral tablets were placed, burned incense and yellow paper, and placed them on the table prepared by Sister Hong.

A good tribute, pour three glasses of soju.

Huang Yushu recited the sacrificial words once, and kowtowed three times to his ancestors with his wife and children. The sacrificial ceremony was considered completed.

The family gathered around the table to have a hurried breakfast. Mrs. Liu took her son back to the house to rest. Huang Yushu went to the mayor to register for household registration. Whenever there was an increase in the number of people in the town, he had to report to the town.

Uncle Liu took the store clerk to remove the door panel and open the door. Huang Yuanfang took Watson to the main room to teach him to read poetry.

After drinking two bowls of the medicine prepared by Sister Hong, Watson's cold was much better. He only had a slight cough and no longer had a runny nose.

There was no blackboard at home, so Huang Yuanfang took pen and ink, wrote a poem on the paper, and then taught Watson how to read word by word.

Huang Si’s maiden’s house is full of flowers, with thousands of flowers weighing down the branches.

The butterflies dance all the time, and the orioles sing at ease.

"This was written by a poet from the previous dynasty. This is "Walking Alone by the River Looking for Flowers" written by him. Brother, you should remember it well."

Huang Yuanfang looked at Watson and said softly.

"Huang Si's parents' house is full of flowers. Is this our home? There are a few apricot trees behind our house? Sister, what do you mean, do you want your mother to give birth to a younger brother named Huang Laosi?"

Watson asked several questions while Huang Yuanfang was stunned.

What the hell is this? Huang Yuanfang was so angry that she held Watson's ear and laughed: "This is a road, not a stream, and Huang Si's family is not the Huang Si's family..."

Just after saying this, Huang Yuanfang was also stunned by herself.

Watson looked at her and replied with a smile: "Sister, didn't Huang Si's mother-in-law just want her mother to have a younger brother?"

Huang Yuanfang shook her head and continued to explain: "The path here means the path paved with stones, not the creek behind our house. Do you understand?"

Watson nodded when he heard this and responded: "It turns out that this trail is not some stream. I saw that the two sides look similar, so I thought they meant the same thing."

Huang Yuanfang nodded heartily, looked at him and continued: "This Huang Si's natal family is talking about Huang Si's natal family, not Huang Laosi's natal family as you mentioned!"

"My mother just gave birth to a younger brother, and you asked her to give birth to a fourth child. You went to the house and asked her to see if she would beat you?"

Huang Yuanfang was stunned by her younger brother and said with an angry smile.

"The meaning of this poem is: The path to Huang Si's mother's house is full of flowers, with thousands of flowers weighing down the branches. The playful and colorful butterflies are flying non-stop, and the free and charming oriole is singing Chacha."

"This is my favorite poem. I will teach it to my brother today. I hope you can learn more poems."

Huang Yuanfang slowly explained the story of this poem to Watson.

Watson nodded and said with a smile: "After all, eldest sister, let my mother give me another brother. I will tell my mother to make her happy!"

When Huang Yuanfang heard this, she became very angry.

Looking at Watson's back, he shouted: "Watson, don't run, I promise I won't beat you to death!"

Watson ran into Mr. Liu's room, looked at his mother lying on the bed and smiled: "Mom, my eldest sister asked my mother to give me another brother. I'll tell my mother so that you can be prepared!"

Huang Yuanfang, who had followed me, was very angry when he heard this. He looked at Mr. Liu and complained: "I taught him to read poetry, but he was disobedient and deliberately interrupted me."

Mrs. Liu looked at Huang Yuanfang and asked, "Which poem did you teach him?"

"Mom, my eldest sister taught me how to read: Huang Si's mother's house is full of flowers, with thousands of flowers weighing down the branches."

Watson sat down next to Mrs. Liu's bed, looked at his brother who was sleeping with his eyes closed, and said softly, for fear of waking up the little guy in his dream.

"My brother insists on reading randomly, which makes me so angry." Huang Yuanfang looked at Mr. Liu and said softly.

"Huang Si's parents' house is full of flowers. This is our family! There are a few apricot trees behind the house. Did my eldest sister ask my mother to give birth to a younger brother named Huang Laosi?"

Watson looked at Mrs. Liu and smiled, leaving Huang Yuanfang dumbfounded by the question.

Huang Yuanfang was so angry that she pointed at Watson and said with a smile: "The Huang Siniang family here is not the Huang Siniang family you mentioned..."

Just after saying this, Huang Yuanfang was also stunned by herself.

Watson looked at her and replied with a smile: "Sister, didn't Huang Si's mother-in-law just want her mother to have a younger brother?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu shook her head, looked at Huasheng and said, "Go and bring in the poems and essays written by your eldest sister. Mom will teach you how to read them."

When Watson heard this, he hurried to the road outside the house. After a while, he came in holding the poem Huang Yuanfang had just written and handed it to Ms. Liu who was beside the bed.

"Bring me a pen!" Mrs. Liu stretched out her hand and said.

Huang Yuanfang handed the half-hearted smile to Mrs. Liu, then glared at Huasheng: "If you let dad know that you made my mother angry, I will beat you up."

Mrs. Liu looked at the two children and smiled, took the pen and wrote the poem twice, and then handed it to Watson.

"Read it to me again, just this sentence." After speaking, he pointed to the sentence he had just marked and smiled.

As soon as Watson took the poem from Liu's hand, he stared at it and saw that it read:

Huang Siniang's house is full of flowers.

Two punctuation points were added to the poem, and Huang Yuanfang instantly understood. It turned out that his younger brother had taken advantage of him?

Watson opened his mouth and read softly: "Huang Siniang's home is full of flowers. Aren't you talking about our home? This poem also talks about giving mother a younger brother."

Mrs. Liu looked at him and said with a smile: "Mom, I know you understand. You have to take advantage of my eldest sister, but don't take advantage of my mother. If you don't wait for your father to come back, I will ask him to use a wooden board to reason with you."

When Watson heard this, he chuckled and said, "Although I can understand this truth, I still like Huang Si's mother's family to be full of flowers. She can give me another brother in the future!"

After saying this, Watson patted his butt and ran out of the door for fear that his eldest sister would be angry and grab him by the ears.

Mrs. Liu looked at her daughter, smiled and said: "He understands this truth. As for how he likes to read it, let him go. Speaking of which, I also like this sentence very much. It is obviously talking about our family.

"

Upon hearing this, Huang Yuanfang calmed down and thought for a while, then looked at Mrs. Liu and whispered: "Mom, you won't really give us another brother, will you?"

When Mrs. Liu heard this, she couldn't help but reached out and pinched her ears, and said with a smile: "When your father comes back, will you tell him?"

Huang Yuanfang shook her head in fright and said with a smile: "It's better to leave this kind of thing to my brother."

...

Because he had a cold, Watson did not go to Ergouzi and other friends to play. Instead, he sat at the counter of his home and stared at the passers-by on the street in a daze.

"Uncle Liu, it seems like there are a lot of strangers coming to town recently!"

Holding his chin with both hands, Watson asked quietly to Uncle Liu at the counter.

Uncle Liu looked back at Watson, couldn't help but sigh, and said lightly: "The world is not good. It is probably the water bandits who have done evil again, and these people have to run out and flee."

"Didn't my father say that Bai Jade City has sent people to exterminate the bandits? Why is this water bandit still there?"

Watson turned around and looked at Uncle Liu and asked in confusion.

Uncle Liu looked at Watson and shook his head, and said quietly: "Watson, do you know why your father named you Watson? It's because the year you were born, the Beihai army invaded Beixuan.

domain......"

While they were talking, Sister Hong came over from across the street, looked at Uncle Liu and said, "Uncle Liu, I heard that Zhang Laowu across the street rented his old shop to a blacksmith. It is said that the blacksmith can also cast pots.

.”

When Uncle Liu heard this, he smiled lightly and said: "These are bad times. Even craftsmen have come to us to make a living. But this is also a good thing. If the pots he casts are good, we can order them from him, so we don't have to run away."

Go out and buy the goods.”

When Watson heard this, he couldn't help asking: "Sister Hong, when will you go to White Jade City and take me for a walk? I told the eldest sister several times, but she refused."

When Sister Hong heard this, she looked at him and smiled and said, "I haven't been to White Jade City for several years. Even if I dare to take you, my little ancestor, with me wherever I go... if something goes wrong, please let me

How to come back and explain?

Uncle Liu nodded and replied: "Even the teachers at your school say you are safe and comfortable in the countryside. Why are you, a little brat, going to join in the fun?"

Sister Hong looked at Watson and said seriously: "Even if your eldest sister goes to school, I heard that she can't come out except for holidays... You'd better stay in the town and wait until you grow up.

"

Upon hearing this, Watson lowered his head and said helplessly: "I don't know when I will have to wait until I can grow as big as my eldest sister."

Sister Hong couldn't help laughing when she heard this, patted his shoulder and said, "When your brother grows up to be as old as you, wait a few more years, and it will be almost the same."

At this time, Watson had no concept of time. He only felt that it was a long time. There was no use thinking about it now. He only hoped that the school would be on vacation early so that he and Ergouzi could go to the creek to catch fish.

Shrimp.

He did not dare to go to the big river, and Mrs. Liu also strictly prohibited him from going to the river.

In his young heart, the creek on the mountain was a paradise for a group of children in the town.

Uncle Liu nodded and said with a smile: "It's nice in the creek. After the holidays, go catch some small fish and shrimps and fry them to eat. Your dad likes it. When he is happy, he might reward you with some money and you can buy ginger candies."

The children in the town have no other skills, but they are still good at catching fish and shrimps in the creek. The more powerful children can even catch one or two pheasants and rabbits.

Watson looked at Sister Hong and said, "It's a pity that I don't have a bow and arrow. Otherwise, I would have shot two pheasants back and cooked them for Sister Hong to eat."

Sister Hong smiled and said: "I don't have that kind of luck. Speaking of bows and arrows... Aren't there going to be a blacksmith shop right next to this door? It depends on your ability. Can you let someone make one for you...

..”

From Sister Hong's point of view, neither Liu nor Huang Yushu could give Watson money to make bows and arrows. In their eyes, this was not doing their job properly.

If Watson gets along with the blacksmith across the street, maybe someone can do it for free?
