Although it was just a simple "population trick", it was already very difficult for little Tiedou who had never been to school.
"Tie Dou, what are you drawing?"
The original owner was also illiterate and had never studied. She couldn't reveal her secret and pretended to look at Little Tiedou with interest.
Xiao Tiedou immediately smiled sheepishly: "Ermao went to town to study. When I went to play with him, he taught me how to write. He said that this character is pronounced '人', and this is '口', which means mouth."
the meaning of."
With one hand, he pointed at the marks on the ground with a small stick, and with the other finger, he pointed at his mouth. He looked extremely serious.
Ermao is the youngest son of Sister-in-law Zhang’s family next door. The men in Sister-in-law Zhang’s family are capable and their family is relatively well-off.
"Wow!"
Zhao Huanyu looked at him in surprise and praised: "Tie Dou, you are so awesome! What else did Er Mao teach you?"
Xiao Tiedou was a little shy at first, but when he saw his sister looking so happy, he instantly gained a lot of confidence. He nodded and said, "Yes! He also taught me to recite the Three-Character Sutra! In the beginning, human nature is good...
"
His little head is shaky, but he can actually carry a lot.
Zhao Huanyu felt that the original owner still knew too little about this younger brother. Otherwise, how could he not even know that his younger brother was learning to read from Ermao next door?
Speaking of which, Zhao Huanyu felt that the original owner was actually quite selfish. She knew that Xiao Tiedou's life would only become more difficult after she eloped with someone, but she still had to leave for her own sake. On the contrary, Xiao Tiedou was still thinking about A
sister.
"Sister, sister?"
Xiao Tiedou saw his sister in a daze and couldn't help but pat her hand.
Zhao Huanyu suddenly came back to his senses, with an awkward smile on his face: "Ah? Have you finished memorizing it?"
"Uh-huh!"
Little Tiedou nodded and looked at her with hope in his eyes, which meant that he hoped to be praised.
Zhao Huanyu rubbed his little head as he wished, and said with a gentle smile: "Little Tiedou is really awesome, do you want to go to school with Ermao?"
"think!"
Little Tiedou nodded vigorously. The four-year-old child was not very good at hiding his emotions in front of his sister. After nodding, he realized that his family did not have the conditions to go to school, so the little head drooped again.
Go down.
The voice was small and a little aggrieved: "But dad won't let me go. I know my family has no money."
In fact, Zhao Dafu is quite good at making money, otherwise Mrs. Liu would not have wanted to marry him.
It's just that Mrs. Liu couldn't save any money, so she ran to her parents' house every three days. As time went by, her family's funds were empty.
Zhao Huanyu smiled nonchalantly, "Dad can't be relied upon, isn't there still a sister?"
"Don't worry Tiedou, my sister will send you to school in a few days. You are so smart and can learn so many things at the age of four. You will definitely be able to gain fame and become a high official in the future!"
Xiao Tiedou's eyes suddenly filled with stars: "Really? Sister, you are so kind! I will buy you a lot of delicious food when I become a high official!"
Zhao Huanyu laughed heartily, this man has been unreliable since he was a child, and he started painting people's cakes before he even had a shadow.
The key is that she is really looking forward to this big cake hahaha!
"Okay, sister, I'm waiting for you to support me as a high official!"
The two of them talked and laughed in the yard. When the sun went down, they put away all the medicinal materials, and then Zhao Huanyu went to the kitchen to cook.
Dinner was very simple. I boiled a green vegetable from the garden and fried some meat with chopped green onion. It was very fragrant for a while.
Ms. Liu who was sleeping was woken up by the incense, and Li Xiaohua in the room couldn't help but stand at the door of the kitchen and watch.
I don’t know how this little bitch cooks it, how can it taste so much better than the usual meat at home?
Zhao Huanyu glanced at her coldly: "Get out of the way, don't block the light!"
Li Xiaohua was so frightened that she jumped away and looked at her pitifully.
For some reason, Li Xiaohua is now very afraid of Zhao Huanyu, worried that she will ruin her reputation, and also afraid that she will hit her.
"You...can you not wash the pot? I...I want..."
She wanted to use the oil and water in the pot to fry rice, but she couldn't say the next words, and she felt embarrassed.
Zhao Huanyu almost couldn't help but laugh out loud, but she still managed to say with a cold face: "Okay, but you have to wash the dishes for us too!"
Just kidding, how can we not use free labor?
Just when Li Xiaohua was about to leave and wait for them to finish eating before cooking again, she saw Zhao Huanyu dividing the meat on the plate into two.
Her eyes lit up, thinking that Zhao Huanyu had finally found her conscience and wanted to share the meat with them.
Just as she was about to go in and pick it up, she saw Zhao Huanyu handing the plate to Xiao Tiedou and saying, "Send it to Aunt Zhang's house next door and say thank you to her Ermao for teaching you how to read."
"good!"
Li Xiaohua's eyes widened, and she stepped in front of Xiao Tiedou, her voice trembling: "You, why don't you give me and my mother half? I, we, we are a family after all?"
Zhao Huanyu was too lazy to argue with her and silently scooped up a ladle of water and said in a cold voice: "If you don't leave, I will wash the pot with a ladle of water."
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Xiaohua ran away.
Although she was very reluctant, what could she do? She really wanted to taste the lard!
Zhao Huanyu snorted coldly, "Sister, my sister can't cure you?"
Xiao Tiedou really felt that Sister A was so powerful. In the past, Sister Xiaohua was so fierce, beating and scolding the two siblings at will, but now Sister Xiaohua did not dare to speak loudly to him.
He carefully carried most of the bowl of meat and went out. Aunt Zhang's surprised voice soon came from next door: "Xiao Tiedou, why are you two so lovable!"
Aunt Zhang actually didn't want to accept it. After all, it looked like she was taking advantage of a child, but the meat was so fragrant that she couldn't bear to refuse it. So after accepting the meat, she poured it on her own plate and put it on her plate.
Put the freshly baked steamed buns on the plate and give them to the little iron beans.
Afterwards, the two of them had a hearty meal, and there were still several steamed buns left. Zhao Huanyu packed them on a plate and took them back to her house, without giving Liu and her daughter any chance to make a move.
Mrs. Liu and Li Xiaohua were vomiting to death. This damn girl clearly wanted to make them angry on purpose, deliberately letting them smell the meat but not being able to eat it, and also wanted to watch her give away the good things to others.
Li Xiaohua was the first to rush into the kitchen, picked up the plate with meat and licked it vigorously. The residual meat aroma made her unable to stop.
Mrs. Liu happened to also walk in. Not only did she not feel embarrassed, she also said generously: "Mom, let's cut some meat to eat tomorrow. It's so delicious!"
In the past, Ms. Liu would have said that she would save money for Liu Jie to study, but this time she really couldn't resist. After nodding in agreement, she snatched the empty plate over and saw that the plate was being licked.
Bright, but also a little annoyed: "It's so oily on the plate, it's good to keep it and order noodles, but you lick it like this!"
Li Xiaohua felt a little aggrieved. If Mrs. Liu hadn't been reluctant to spend money to buy meat for her, would she be like this?
