The first, second and third treasures were arranged in order and held up their homework obediently.
Murong Xiao read them one by one and said, "Well, not bad, Youyou wrote the best. Dabao and Erbao must keep working hard."
Youyou jumped up happily, hugging his thigh and acting coquettishly, "Father, can you accompany me to ride horses today? Father hasn't played with me for a long time."
"In a few days, when mother and concubine are done with their work, we will go to the horse farm together. Then father will take you to ride a horse." Murong Xiao reached out and picked her up.
"Well, okay then!"
Youyou has become accustomed to the fact that her mother and concubine often stay in the pharmacy. She knows that once her mother and concubine gets busy, she will be busy for several days before she is free.
Dabao and Erbao both looked at each other's big characters.
"Father, are your eyes blinded by eye droppings?" Dabao was not a good-tempered person and was very dissatisfied with his father's perfunctory attitude.
Erbao also protested: "Yes, we obviously wrote well."
Murong Xiao knew the little thoughts of his two sons, they just wanted to praise him, but he would not praise them, lest they become proud.
"You don't believe it, do you?"
"Then come and see for yourselves."
Put the three large characters together and let them compare them themselves.
Dabao and Erbao looked at each other for a long time and found nothing wrong with them.
What they write is all in large block letters. Their handwriting is neat and clear, clean and tidy, stroke by stroke. There are no mistakes or crooked writings. There is nothing wrong with it!
After the comparison, Dabao put away his temper and said with a straight and serious attitude: "Father, your writing is indeed very good, but our writing is not bad either."
Erbao said: "We are looking for the mother-in-law. The mother-in-law will definitely praise us for our good writing."
The two babies were very angry and refused to admit defeat. They went to find their mother and concubine with their schoolwork in hand.
"Come back, your mother-in-law is very busy and has no time to teach you." Murong Xiao looked serious, "You think you are great now, don't you? Does being able to write big characters mean you are great?"
Dabao and Erbao were startled, "Father..."
Youyou looked at her brother and stood up immediately. She was frightened by her father's seriousness and said, "Father, don't be harsh on my brother. My brother writes very well, even more neatly than Youyou."
Murong Xiao's serious eyes gradually softened, and he touched his daughter's head, "Father did not say that my brother's writing was not good, he just wanted them to write better."
Then he waved to his son, "You are brothers. You are different from your sister. You will naturally have to work harder to protect your sister than your sister in the future."
"Being complacent because you know these big words is called pride. There is a saying in the military book that a arrogant army will be defeated, which means that people cannot be proud and complacent. If you are like this, how can you be a general in the future?"
Dabao: "..."
Erbao: "..."
Murong Xiao knew the tempers of the two babies very well, but they were just not convinced. "If you don't believe me, how about you go to Brother Lin and see how he writes in capital letters? How about you come to the father to protest?"
Dabao and Erbao calmed down and began to reflect, "Okay, let's go find Brother Lin now."
With that said, they headed to the guest room.
And be back soon.
Murong Xiao was holding his daughter and teaching her to write. When he saw the child come back, he asked, "How is it?"
The two of them left boldly and came back quite depressed. They seemed to have realized what their problem was. Dabao said, "Father is right. We did not write well enough and we need to work harder."
Erbao nodded: "Brother Lin is much better than me. He said there are many people in the capital who are smarter and more powerful than him."
After seeing what their cousin had written, they were truly convinced, and then they sat down and started practicing seriously.
Feng Mingwei came out of the pharmacy and heard about this. She felt that Murong Xiao's parenting style was too bad and was destroying the children's joy of learning.
He actually wants to compare a nine-year-old child with a five-year-old child?!
"Mother concubine."
The children ran over happily when they saw her.
"Concubine, look at the big characters I wrote today, and the Three-Character Sutra."
Dabao and Erbao both held their learning achievements high for her to see, their eyes full of expectation.
"You are all great, your writing is neat and powerful."
"Wow, can you still memorize the Three Character Sutra?"
"Yes, I have learned it a long time ago. We know five hundred Chinese characters." They were very happy to receive the praise and were extremely proud. They thought that the father and the mother were indeed different, and the mother was better.
"Then after dinner, I will recite it to my mother and concubine."
"My mother-in-law will prepare delicious food for you."
"You can go play now."
The three children immediately went to play happily.
