Chapter 8 It would be nice to teach you to read
The Wen family was halfway up the mountain and had to carry water to the foot of the mountain. Wen Yuanliang was only half a child, and he couldn't even lift a bucket of water at a time. He wanted to fill the water tank with water and ran back and forth for more than ten times. Isn't this a tossing person? Sun Laifu subconsciously thought that Deng had just pressed everything on the child if he didn't work. He stretched his neck and looked into the house, but saw nothing.
Wen Yuanliang wiped the sweat from his forehead, kicked open the fence door with his feet, and gasped, "Uncle Sun went to the main hall to sit for a while. My father went down the floor, and maybe he went up the mountain. In short, he usually didn't come back until it was almost dark. My mother... my brother and sister are sick, and my mother is taking care of them and can't go out."
"Who is sick? What disease is so serious? Your mother can't even get out of the door?" Sun Laifu's voice rose a lot, and he felt a little angry. He even believed that Deng was making excuses to call Wen Yuanliang. If there was really a child who was sick, how could Wen Youshan not even say hello to his house?
Wen Yuanliang was worried that Sun Laifu would wake up his sleeping younger brother and sister, so he pulled his clothes, put his finger on his lips, and whispered, "Uncle Sun, whisper, younger brothers and sisters are all in the house, don't wake them up, my mother really can't go out, the eldest sister and second brother have chickenpox, and they are also infected with wind and cold. The doctor said that this disease would be contagious and we are not allowed to approach them. Now my mother is taking care of them in the house where my grandmother lives. It has not come out for several days. I have to wait until my brother and sister heal, my mother can't go out."
"What? So serious? Really fake? Why didn't your father say it?" Sun Laifu slammed the table in a hurry. Thinking that Wen Yuanliang was talking about chickenpox and didn't dare to come into the house to take a look. He was so anxious that he didn't know what to do.
Wen Yuanliang nodded affirmatively, "My father went to the town to invite the doctor to come over to see him overnight. There is no mistake. My mother said that the two days after the illness just now were quite dangerous, and it would be much better when the acne came out. They no longer had a fever these days, so my father could go out to work with confidence, but I couldn't go out to play and wanted to help at home."
If he had kept him at home like this before, he would definitely not be willing to do so, but this time he didn't feel any resistance, and he himself couldn't figure out what was going on.
Sun Laifu touched Wen Yuanliang's head with relief. Hearing that the children were fine, he sat down with confidence, and muttered in a low voice: "I didn't expect your mother to take care of the two children in person. The sun really came out from the west!"
Not to mention Sun Laifu's strangeness, even Wen Yuanliang himself was surprised. He was still adapting, but this feeling was not bad. If only his mother could keep doing this.
Sun Laifu saw that he couldn't wait for Wen Youshan today, and the Wen family was normal and there was no trouble, so he couldn't continue to waste time here. When he left, he reminded Wen Yuanliang: "If you have something to do, go to my house to find me. If I don't, tell your grandma Sun that if you don't help, your aunt, you can go to your house to get whatever you lack."
Sun Laifu and Wen Youshan grew up wearing the same pair of open-crotch pants. The relationship is better than that of brothers, and the two families will not meet each other.
Wen Yuanliang nodded obediently and went down the mountain with Sun Laifu with a bucket.
Chen Ningya, who was staying in Zhang's bedroom, naturally heard Sun Laifu's voice and smiled helplessly, knowing that Sun Laifu had an objection to her. No, it should be said that anyone in the village had an objection to Wen Youshan, but Sun Laifu was more obvious. However, this is understandable. It seems that Wen Youshan saved Sun Laifu when he was young. Since then, Sun Laifu regards Wen Youshan as a brother. His brother's wife is not like that, he will naturally stand up for his brother, and it is not that he has any bad intentions.
Forget it, it’s useless to think so much. She will live a good life in the future and make the Wen family look like a home. Over time, people will always see her changes.
Just when Chen Ningya was distracted, Wen Yuanzhen suddenly pulled her hand and woke her up.
"What's wrong? But you have to go to the toilet?" Chen Ningya was about to get out of bed without saying a word.
Wen Yuanzhen shook her head and whispered: "Mom, don't take it to heart when Uncle Sun's words, he doesn't know that mother is different from before."
Chen Ningya was shocked and felt the child's sensitivity. She touched her head with a funny look and said softly: "Mom didn't care. She just thought of something. Okay, I see that you and the second boy are no longer in trouble. The acne scabs on your body have not yet fallen off. In this way, will I teach you how to read from today?"
"Learn from literacy?" Wen Yuanzhen sat up in shock, staring at Chen Ningya with wide eyes and incredible eyes, "Mom, have you ever studied?"
Wen Yuanzhen is already six years old. As the eldest daughter of the Wen family, she used to go to the town to buy and sell things with her grandmother Zhang. She knew that there was a scholar in the town who was highly respected by people. Some people wanted to ask the scholar to name the scholar and had to give him a few kilograms of meat and wrap some copper coins. Some people sent their children to the scholar to study. She had asked her grandma curiously before.
Grandma said that scholars are masters and can only become officials after studying and reading. She asked if she could let her brother and younger brother study, but grandma said that that was not something our family could think of. Only those who had money at home could study. After that, she paid attention for a while and found that there were no scholars in her village. Not to mention studying, there were no literacy. Only the village chief recognized one or two words and asked other sisters. They said they had never heard of it. Over time, she forgot about this thing, but she didn't expect her mother to read.
Chen Ningya nodded in a good manner and kindly arranged Wen Yuanzhen's hair, "What? Did the big girl want to study before?"
Wen Yuanzhen looked at her mother in admiration, but she wanted to nod but was embarrassed. She blushed and said excitedly: "I want my brother and younger brother to study. The scholar in the town is very powerful, but grandma said that our family doesn't have the ability and can't think about it."
Speaking of this, Wen Yuanzhen sighed almost without hesitation.
Chen Ningya burst out laughing, "You are not very old, but you can even sigh! Mom is as naive as you when you were so old. Since you want to learn, you will teach me when you stepmother. Although you can't use any physical strength to study, it's boring. Since you start learning, you can't give up halfway."
Wen Yuanzhen nodded urgently.
It was only then that Chen Ningya felt that this girl looked like a child.
He did it as soon as he said, when Wen Youshan came back in the evening, Chen Ningya called him over and ordered through the door: "Make three sand tables for me and the children, and prepare three bamboo sticks for us."
Wen Youshan had just returned from the mountain and had not put down his body. He wiped his sweat and handed the things to Wen Yuanliang, asking casually: "What's the purpose?"
