Perhaps the situation in the Xu family's inner fort was too mysterious before, so after he really thought that he could move around freely in the inner fort, Sima Yi felt greatly disappointed when he saw that the Xu family's inner fort was not much different from ordinary Zhuangzi.

He stood in front of the hotel door, feeling a little disappointed.

The inner fort in Xujiazhuang only has more people than the outer fort, the road is wider, and the chimney at the southeast corner is a little higher.

Wait! Chimney?

I heard that all of Gongsun Zan’s iron ore was shipped to Xujiazhuang, and a master smelter was responsible for forging weapons. Could it be here?

Sima Yi had seen the Xu family knives captured by the Yuan family. Each one had the same shape and was equally tough. Not to mention cutting iron like clay, but compared with the blades in their Cao family's arsenal, they were more than powerful.

A little bit.

In the past few years, Gongsun Zan has relied on these Xu family blades to kill countless enemies on the battlefield, and from an unknown junior to stand on the chessboard of Daqing's power field.

If this matter had been put forward five years ago, the Sima family would not have believed that Gongsun Zan would still have a chance to defeat Yuan Shao and dominate the three states of Bing, You, and Ji.

Now it seems that the existence of the Xu family is indeed the biggest variable in this.

When Sima Yi came, he had already investigated all the life backgrounds of the five members of the Xu family. They were ordinary farmers, and there was really no difference between them and those refugees who fled.

Xu Da's resourcefulness and tact, Wang Pingping's military prowess, Xu Yue's three siblings' early wisdom and force value, all these things should not be possessed by a person with a peasant background.

Is it possible that, as the people near Yuyang said, the Xu family are all reincarnations of gods?

Sima Yi thought of the Xu Yue he had come into contact with. She was just a little girl who was smarter than the average person. At most, she was too smart than her peers.

Anyway, it doesn’t look like the reincarnation of a god at all!

But that wristband that only shows the time...

Sima Yi took out the electronic watch he kept carefully on his chest. On the gray-green dial, the black numbers jumped a little, and the time jumped from 12:01 to 12:02.

Under the minutes, there are small black dots representing seconds, beating one by one.

Xu Yue said that every time the little black dot jumped, one second passed.

Sima Yi dared to say that no one could achieve such a precise time before!

If this is not God’s means, what else is?

The sound of children playing in the distance came from the distance. Sima Yi suppressed his racing heart, put away the electronic watch, and walked over following the sound of play.

"Xu Family Kindergarten——" Sima Yi read out the plaque on the house.

Being able to read simplified Chinese characters so accurately shows that he did a lot of homework before coming to Xujiazhuang, otherwise he would not be able to read this half of the simplified Chinese characters at all.

The kindergarten is built next to the health center, and it is now lunchtime. The nurse on duty is taking the new Gongsun Yun to play with the children in the kindergarten.

In the past two years, a large number of young people of the right age in Xujiazhuang, with girls aged 16 and boys aged 18, got married under the witness of the host family and formed their own small families.

Therefore, the children in Xujiazhuang now have a new batch of children who can barely stagger around. Together with Zhao Adou and other older children, there are a total of sixteen children.

Anyone over the age of six is ​​sent to the school system to study.

When it comes to young children, the Xu family's purpose is to educate and entertain them. It does not require these little babies who are still nursing to do anything. As long as they are healthy and lively and can lay a foundation for formal schooling, it is enough.

The main task of children is to play.

For the young mothers in Xujiazhuang, this shortens the time cost they need to pay for production and can be put into labor as soon as possible, freeing their hands and improving the production efficiency of major factories.

Sima Yi stood outside the garden, watching these children who should be taken care of by their mothers or female elders being led by two young girls to play games. It was very novel.

The young girl shouted the slogan "One, two, three, wooden man", and the children all stopped and stood there obediently.

If someone couldn't stand still and swayed, the other children would burst into laughter.

Immediately afterwards, the boy who couldn't stand took over the task of shouting slogans from the young girl and became the supervisor.

The children had a lot of fun and were sweating from running.

This kind of activity didn't last long. It was hot and even if the yard was full of trees, it wouldn't be as cool as the house.

The children, led by the eldest girl, lined up and walked into the nap room. Then they heard a three-year-old clever boy lying on the upper layer of the two-tiered bed shouting:

"Sister nurse, shall we listen to the story of the tortoise and the hare today?"

"Zhao Adou, please lie down!" The eldest girl glared at first, then saw that the clever boy was sleeping well, then nodded and said:

"How about we tell the story of the tortoise and the hare today?"

The older children all said yes, but the younger children couldn't say anything and just giggled along with their elder brothers and sisters.

Gongsun Yun'er, the new employee, looked at the cute children and couldn't help but look forward to this story.

The eldest girl's voice is very gentle, completely different from when she glares at people. In her gentle voice, a tortoise and a hare race, and in the end, the perseverance of the tortoise defeats the proud and complacent hare. The story slowly unfolds

.

The story was very short, but the profound meaning contained in it surprised Sima Yi outside the hospital.

Using small animals that children can usually come into contact with as human beings and weaving in short stories with educational significance are much easier to understand than the long lectures of teachers in school.

The eldest girl in the room asked the child named Zhao Adou, "Zhao Adou, what do you think this story tells us?"

Zhao Adou thought seriously for a moment and replied: "This story tells everyone that we should not look down on the tortoise that cannot run fast. Humility makes people progress, pride makes people fall behind. We must do things down-to-earth and not give up halfway. Only in this way can we achieve success. Sister Nurse, I

Is that correct?"

The eldest girl nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, Zhao Adou, you are right. Everyone must learn from the humble tortoise and not be the proud rabbit. Okay, go to sleep and stop talking..."

"

The room gradually became quiet, and Sima Yi outside the courtyard murmured what Zhao Adou said, "Humility makes people progress, pride makes people fall behind." The more he thought about it, the more exquisite he felt this sentence was.

Sima Yi suddenly had the urge to rush in and ask who said this!

Of course he didn't think that Zhao Adou, a three-year-old child, could sum up such philosophical words. He must have heard it from somewhere.

Maybe it was taught by the elders in the family, or maybe it was taught by the nurse sister in this kindergarten.
