Xie Shi's return filled the home with joy and laughter again. Normally, I just find this kid chasing chickens and dogs all day long, and even "running away from home" for the family at random, which is quite annoying sometimes. But now that he has been absent for a day, without the excitement he creates, the family is not used to it. .
Only then did they realize the role of this little guy.
Although the Xie family is united, there are always bumps and bruises. Minor conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, minor frictions between sisters-in-law, and even occasional quarrels between sisters. But since Xie Shi started to run, jump, and talk eloquently, conflicts, conflicts, quarrels, and quarrels happened less and less.
The reasons are as follows: First, as a cub, Xie Shi attracted more attention from the whole family and made big news from time to time. The family was too busy dealing with the troubles he caused, so they had no time to worry about anything else. Secondly, Xie Shi was considerate at a young age and had a first-rate ability to observe people's emotions. Often, whoever showed a bit of sullenness on his face would be resolved by his words and laughter.
Therefore, the house was much duller when he was away.
Countryside people only have two meals a day and no entertainment. After breakfast in the morning, the old and young of the Xie family were busy working at home. When they were tired and bored, Xie Shi, who went to school on his first day, became the protagonist of the whole family's talk throughout the day.
This also resulted in Xie Shi being surrounded just after returning home.
Especially Mrs. Xu, she looked at her little grandson again and again, with a distressed look on her face: "I'm so thin. Look, I'm tired from going to school. I said brother Shi is still young, so he's not in a hurry to study."
Xie Lin came back with his son, but was ignored by the whole family: "???"
...If he remembered correctly, this kid only went to school for half a day, not half a month, right?
However, the rest of the family nodded in agreement with his mother as if they were blind, and Ms. Yu even hurriedly greeted her baby bump: "Brother Shi must be exhausted after studying for a day. The master in the school is very good. How are your classmates? How do they treat you? Are there any people who bully you when they see you are young?"
This series of questions played into the family's hands. Initially, sending Xie Shi to school was an idea that everyone agreed with, but when he actually entered school, they couldn't sit still at home - Brother Shi was only four years old, how could he know that he wouldn't be bullied by older children? If I had known earlier, I should have waited another two years before sending him to school!
Xie Shi naturally smiled and said no. He crossed his two short legs into a splay, put his little arms on his waist, held his head high and boasted, showing his small teeth as white as rice grains: "Master, senior brothers, everyone They all like me."
He mentioned the teachers and classmates in the school by the way.
"...Master Xu takes good care of me and teaches me how to read. Senior Brother Xu is also enthusiastic and cheerful. He even helps me serve rice and vegetables at lunch. Senior Brother Tian and Senior Brother Wu are quick to talk and easy to deal with. Senior Brother Wang is simple and unloving. Speaking, Senior Brother Zhao is studious and a bit arrogant, but he takes good care of me when I am young."
"By the way, I also invite my senior brothers to play this together..."
He took out the grasshoppers and dragonflies that had lost their original shape from his sleeves, Xie Shi looked contented.
"I heard that my grandpa made it up for me. They all envy me for having a good grandpa."
The little grandson's sweet rainbow fart blew into his grandfather's heart. Xie Dayou seemed to feel lighter all over and almost floated. His wrinkled face suddenly stretched out, and he smiled from ear to ear: "What's this? If Brother Shi wants anything else, grandpa will make it up for you."
Old Mrs. Xu couldn't stand his proud face, and felt sour in her heart. She curled her lips and said, "Just take advantage of my dear grandson. If Brother Shi hadn't been so lovable, you are an old man who knows a few country tricks." Son, how can I be praised by scholars?"
Xie Dayou knew that she was upset and didn't care. He just said cheerfully: "Don't forget that our Brother Shi is also a scholar."
Yes, in their eyes, the Meng boys who worshiped Master Xu and would sooner or later embark on the road to the imperial examination were all confirmed scholars. Of course the same is true for Xie Shi.
When Xie Dayou said this, the whole family's faces were filled with pride. Second cousin Xie Lan asked curiously: "Brother Shi, what do they teach in that private school?"
The whole family showed interest.
Good question! They want to know too.
Although the Xie Mu brothers also studied social studies back then. But can social studies with no barriers and a mixture of good and bad be comparable to Master Xu’s small-class private tutoring? As far as tuition fees are concerned, there is no comparison.
Being surrounded by the whole family and asking questions, Xie Shi became interested. He was beaming with excitement and describing his daily life with arrogant teeth.
In the morning, he read and read. After learning the "Three Character Classic", he could already read no less than a hundred characters. In the afternoon, he traced red characters and wrote big characters. Because he was young and weak, he didn't have many requirements for writing and practicing. However, he followed his senior brothers and listened to how to start writing and write. It is very fulfilling to move and put away the pen, and also learn the correct posture of holding the pen.
Old Xu and others were happy and distressed at the same time. They couldn't help but express "Brother Shi is really tired today". In his words, he seemed to be blaming the Master for being too strict and asking a four-year-old child to take on the heavy responsibility of high-intensity study.
"Grandma, don't worry-"
Seeing this, Xie Shi pretended to be relaxed: "It's okay to learn more, it's a piece of cake. Master even praised me for being smart."
In fact, he was still complaining on the way home.
Because he was not sure of Master Xu's satisfaction, he accidentally showed talent and hard work far beyond his peers at first. The result was that his first impression was fixed in Master Xu's eyes. He slacked off a little in the afternoon and was immediately discovered by Master Xu. He was afraid He had no choice but to maintain high efficiency and study hard for a whole day.
After finishing the day's study, Xie Shi reviewed his thoughts for a while, and then he realized who was the culprit who had caused him to end up like this - at first, the Master only asked him to recite the first four sentences of the "Three Character Classic", but it was clear that the system had secretly added them to him on its own initiative. code. In this way, his outstanding performance naturally received the Master's attention.
This fat civet cat is really evil-minded!
Facing the host's accusation, the system said plausibly: "Everything I do is for the host's great cause of cultivating immortality." ]
One sentence captured Xiaotuanzi's thoughts.
...Studying is hard and tiring, but this is cultivating immortality!
...Although cultivating immortals is good, I'm still young, so it's not too much to play with it for a few more years, right?
Different thoughts jumped repeatedly in Xiaotuanzi's heart. Now facing the expectations of the whole family, the balance in his heart quickly tilted forward, and the thoughts of fear of hardship and tiredness were immediately thrown away.
What's more, the two sisters were still exclaiming: "It's only been one day in private school, Brother Shi can already memorize books and recognize words?"
After mastering a new skill, what kid wouldn’t want to show off in front of his family? The strong desire for expression instantly occupied the high ground, and Xiaotuanzi raised his chin: "That's not true!"
He pulled out the "Three Character Classic" from the book bag sewn by his sisters on the spot and performed an endorsement for the whole family on the spot. After memorizing it, I opened the book again and pointed it out to them word by word:
"This is..., this thought..."
Although Old Xu and others could not understand, they were very cooperative. Knowing that my children had indeed learned something in school and listened with great interest, I almost praised Xiaotuanzi to the sky.
Such a positive response made Xie Shi even more excited. The idea of "I am tired of studying hard and I am still young and can play for another two years" was thrown away by him. He just wished he could rush back to the private school now and study with the master for two hours.
As soon as this enthusiasm for learning comes up, combined with the children's strong desire for performance, things develop in a derailed direction.
Xie Shi, who was so praised that he couldn't find anything to do, picked up the book excitedly: "Grandpa, grandma, father, mother, uncle, aunt, and the eldest and second sisters are all idle anyway. Let me teach you to study together, right?"
He remembered that there was also a university for the elderly in the dream, where eighty-year-old grandparents could study - since everyone in the family thought studying was good, why not study together?
...It’s definitely not because he thinks studying is too hard and he wants the whole family to suffer the hardship of studying together! It’s not even because he thinks it’s fun to be a student in school and a master at home!
...Studying is cultivation. It’s so lonely for a person to become an immortal all alone. Of course, he has to bring his whole family to ascend to immortality together!
The whole Xie family was accurately named by Xiaotuanzi and spared no one: "..."
Ah this? No need to.
Brothers Xie Mu and Xie Sen were particularly troubled, and their eyes seemed to be turning black. If they really had the ability to study, they wouldn't have spent two years in social studies and still couldn't recognize a few words.
Although they were extremely resistant in their hearts, facing Xiaotuanzi's eager eyes and the shining expectation in his eyes, we really couldn't bear to refuse outright and let down the child's heart.
How can I decline politely?
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and we look at each other wildly: think of a way, think of a way!
Seeing that Xiao Tuanzi was about to start speaking, Mrs. Liu suddenly had an idea and suddenly stretched out her hand to push her two daughters forward:
"Brother Shi, you are only a child, and you still have to study. How can you teach so many people? Your two sisters are quite suitable. You teach them first, and after they know it, it won't be too late to teach us."
After her words fell, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yes, yes, that's a good idea!"
"It's not too late for Sister Mei and Sister Lan to learn how to teach us..."
In an instant, the whole family reached a consensus.
...It's just kids playing house. After three or two days, Brother Shi might have forgotten all about it. Even if I haven’t forgotten, there are still two sisters standing in front of me anyway!
As for what if the two sisters started teaching under their cousin and really wanted to teach the whole family how to read and write?
——How is that possible!
The two sisters who were pushed out to take the blame looked at each other.
Xie Lan was surprised and happy.
She was envious of her brother Xie Song when he was able to study in a social school. Now she finally has the opportunity to study!
Xie Mei couldn't laugh or cry.
...What use is reading and literacy to them?
...That’s all, just play with Brother Shi!
However, when the sisters learned the first word, the fat civet cat deep in Xie Shi's consciousness suddenly raised its tail.
A flash of silver flashed across its fur.
(Energy +0.00000…1)
[! ! ! ] The system was shocked.
Could it be said that if the host succeeds in persuading students to learn, he will also gain energy?
It couldn't wait to share this guess with its host, and Xie Shi was also surprised.
"Wouldn't you know if you try it?"
Thinking of the great cause of cultivating immortals, he became more and more devoted. Even if it was only three minutes of heat at first, it has now become ten.
Sure enough, as the two sisters Xiemei Xielan devoted themselves to learning, a faint silver flash would flicker on the fat civet cat from time to time, and its furry tail excitedly shook into a fan.
[it is true! It really works! The host leads others into the sea of learning and can actually recharge energy in disguise! ]
The system was incoherent with joy.
[There is no limit to the sea of learning, indeed there is no limit to the sea of learning! ]
Xie Shi's eyes also shone.
——He just said that it is not a dream for the whole family to ascend!
——The two sisters are just the beginning. One day, he will lead the whole family to study and practice, and the whole family will ascend!
