Since coming here, Su Xiao has been busy almost every day, either busy saying goodbye to Li's mother-in-law or daughter-in-law, or struggling to make money.
For her, this rare day of rest was extremely precious, and Su Xiao had long decided to spend it all to accompany her two children.
At this moment, the mother and daughter were chatting and laughing excitedly around the sketch of their future new house, and they were all full of yearning for the new life that was about to come.
Xiaofu held the paintbrush and painted her "primitive forest style" room almost full of green plants. She lowered her head to admire it in a serious manner before she stopped painting with satisfaction.
Su Xiao was immediately attracted by her cute little appearance. She held her face and chirped twice, and praised her unique aesthetics.
Xiaofu felt a little embarrassed after being praised by her. He pursed his lips and showed a sweet smile.
Seeing Dafu on the side who had been staring at the drawing paper and waiting a little anxiously, Su Xiao hurriedly pushed the drawing paper in front of him and asked him to draw his room.
Dafu eagerly grabbed a crayon and smeared it on the yard for a long time before drawing something in the shape of a horse.
"Is this... a wooden horse?" Su Xiao remembered that she had asked her two children before what they wanted to put in their new home, and the first thing Dafu said was a wooden horse!
"Well, I saw it once when I went to Asheng's house. It's so majestic. His father made it for him himself. He's so precious that I won't even let him sit down even if I want to!"
Dafu pursed his lips, with a somewhat sad expression on his face.
"Wait, mother will make one for you when the time comes. It will be bigger than his, more beautiful and more majestic than his!" Su Xiao felt sad, touched Dafu's little head, and comforted softly.
This child has always been sensible and has never asked for anything from her. If she can't satisfy such a simple wish, how can she even call him "Mother"!
In fact, even though Dafu didn't say it explicitly, she could feel that the reason why he wanted the wooden horse so much was not only because he liked the toy itself, but also because he had a vague envy of Ah Sheng.
After all, he has a father who can make toys for him, but Dafu doesn't even know who his biological father is, and he grew up being called a "bastard"!
Su Xiao looked at Dafu, who was bowing his head and drawing seriously, and sighed inwardly.
In terms of food, clothing, housing, and transportation, she could try her best to make up for what her two children lacked, but there were some things, such as father's love, that she couldn't give them anyway.
Since she has no plans to find another man, she can only give her two children extra love and care, and work hard together with their irresponsible father!
During the moment when Su Xiao was distracted, Dafu had already painted half of his room with great interest, and his men still didn't stop.
Su Xiao took a closer look and saw that the child had drawn a desk and chairs in a decent manner. There were also many small squares stacked on top of each other on the table, as if there were a stack of books!
"Dafu, do you like reading very much?" Su Xiao felt very strange and asked with a smile.
In modern times, in order to prevent children from losing at the starting line since childhood, various cram schools are fully scheduled from Monday to Sunday, and even sleeping in has become a luxury for children.
Growing up in such a tense environment, children generally feel tired of studying. If they are not watched and forced by their parents, they will never even want to touch a book.
But as for Dafu, let alone early education and enlightenment since he was a child, he could barely eat enough. Judging from his skinny appearance before, he has grown up safely now because of the blessing of Bodhisattva.
In ancient times, children in such remote ravines spent all day wandering and playing in the villages and mountains. It was a luxury to be able to recognize a few words, and the same was true for Dafu.
Now that he is so interested in reading, could it be that he has never been exposed to books, so he is even more yearning for them?
"Well, when Su Ji was studying before, I hid next to him and listened. It took him several times to memorize the article, but I only had to listen to it once and I could memorize it!"
As Dafu spoke, he puffed up his little chest, looking very proud.
Hearing this, Su Xiao slapped her forehead, yes, she almost forgot, this little guy is a child prodigy with a super high IQ!
You are talented and interested in reading. If you cultivate this a little bit, you might become the number one scholar on the gold medal list in the future!
The more Su Xiao thought about it, the more excited she became, as if she had already seen the grown-up Dafu riding a horse through the streets, looking proud of the spring breeze.
Ha, it would be quite a feat to be the mother of the number one scholar!
Stimulated by Dafu, Su Xiao became as excited as if she had been given a shot of chicken blood. At the same time, she became more determined to build a new house as soon as possible.
She wanted to move out as soon as possible and hire the most knowledgeable teacher in the villages around Dafu to train him in reading and learning.
It is a top priority for the child to become a successful person, and no one can stop it. Not to mention Li and her daughter, even if there are ten more of them tied together, she will never allow it!
"Dafu, in addition to memorizing the articles commemorated by Su, can you also write?" Su Xiao looked at Dafu's drawings with her chin in her hands, and asked tentatively.
Because the original owner didn't like these two children, in her memory, apart from barely taking care of them, she barely talked to them, let alone taught them how to read.
Her cheap dad also went to school, maybe he taught his grandson a few words, who knows?
"Yes, my grandfather taught me this. I also peeked at Su Ji's writing on the ground."
Dafu raised his head, grabbed a piece of paper next to him, held a crayon and carefully wrote a few words on it.
Su Xiao lowered her head and looked, oh, although the handwriting is immature, is it too neat and orderly for a child who has never received formal education?!
Especially the word "mother", she stared at it for a long time and felt her eyes were a little sore.
Among the few words "人", "天" and "日", this word stands out.
Not only because it has the most gestures, but because Dafu wrote this character particularly skillfully and neatly.
Even though the original owner was not good to the two children, he was still so attached to his mother. How could anyone be willing to let down this pure and innocent heart!
"Our Dafu is so great. When our new house is built, mother will buy you a room full of books. You can read whatever you want!"
"Really, mother is the best!" Dafu grinned happily, showing his neat white teeth.
After he finished drawing his room, Su Xiao held the two children in his arms, and the three of them stared at the sketch for a long time.
"It's summer now, and in autumn at the latest, we can move into the new home in this painting." She was speaking to the child, but Su Xiao couldn't help but feel a bit of eager longing in her tone!
