Tianbao has eaten pork.
Never seen a pig.
In class the next day, several children started a discussion about pigs.
Su An gestured with his hands, "I used to see someone raising pigs in Dahuai Village. They were so big! One pig can be sold for a lot of money!"
Su Wen and Su Wu had also seen it, and sighed with excitement, "It's a pity that no one in Tubei Village raises them, otherwise we can eat them in exchange for pork."
Wei Li and Bai Yu were silent. Neither of them had seen a pig, so they were despised by Sanwazi.
Tianbao didn't want to be with them, so she nestled at Master's feet, raised her little face and asked, "Master, why did Grandma talk to me about pigs?"
Huo Ziheng laughed and said, "The first rafters will rot first, and the fast ones will be whipped."
"what for?"
Huo Ziheng raised his eyes to look at the children who were still talking about the pigs. He stood up with a fan and said, "The weather is nice today, so we won't teach in the house. You can go out with me for a walk."
Mr. Huo, who was cooking in the kitchen, immediately raised his voice and said, "If you have another moment to eat, don't come back late!"
"good."
"You little brats, watch your master!"
"..."
It's almost October, and the rays of the sun, which have been harsh all summer, are finally a little gentler.
Walking out of the yard, the sun shines down from above, hitting my body with a little heat, but not unbearable.
Then the wind from the mountain blows down, blowing away the heat.
The weather is high and the air is crisp.
Huo Ziheng and his six children climbed up the back mountain along the way, and stopped when they reached a thorn forest on the hillside.
Tubei Mountain, which has been cultivated for nearly two years, is no longer as barren as it was when we first came here. The thorns and weeds are more dense, the bushes are thicker, and the scattered wild saplings have grown to the size of small trees.
The wind in the forest is stronger than that at the bottom of the mountain. The wind blows from all directions, shaking the thorns, weeds, shrubs, and wild trees, and the leaves rustle.
Huo Ziheng pointed in that direction and asked the children, "Look at what's shaking the most over there?"
Bai Yu jumped out immediately and finally found an opportunity to show off his presence, "Master, the tallest tree shakes the most because it has the longest trunk and the largest swing range!"
"Weeds, thorns, shrubs, and small trees all grow in the same place, and the same wind blows, but the tallest trees sway the most."
Huo Ziheng smiled and looked at Tian Bao, who had a confused face, "This is the truth. If the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them. The tallest tree has the least shelter and can withstand the greatest wind force. It is the same as whipping a fast cow. Same reason.
Master knows that you kids are all smart, and as long as you work hard, you will achieve success in the future. But no matter how smart you are or how strong your personal ability is, when you are unable to grasp the overall situation, you should restrain your sharpness and avoid attracting others' attention. Otherwise, attracting jealousy will easily lead to trouble and may lose the opportunity for growth. "
Wei Li and Bai Yu were thoughtful after hearing this.
Su An, Su Wen, Su Wu, and others were carefree and indifferent. They knew that they were not the smartest, and they would definitely not be the first to be beaten, so why should they worry?
Wei Tianbao was still confused, "What does it mean to be restrained? Can't Tianbao grow taller?"
"It's not that you can't grow taller, it's that you need to know how to hide your abilities so that others don't see them all at a glance."
Huo Ziheng laughed and gave another analogy, "Just like the master teaches you every day, Tianbao always answers the questions the fastest and most accurately every time. Have you ever noticed that every time at this time, your junior brothers are all discouraged?" of."
"be discouraged?"
"Because you have been robbed of the opportunity to answer questions, over time even people close to you will feel frustrated. If you are an outsider, they may be jealous of you besides being frustrated.
Some people have such a nature that they cannot see others being better than themselves. Once such a person appears and they cannot climb to a better position, they will choose to pull the person down and step on a position lower than themselves. In this way They are the ones who appear to be outstanding. "
Tianbao nodded, understood.
The kids who were compared to them were ashamed. Master, there was no need to compare them to his disciples.
Doesn't this add salt to their wounds?
After the battle with the chief helmsman of Pier 12, Tubei Village remained as peaceful as before.
Tianbao practices literature in the morning and martial arts in the evening every day, and he grows up very quickly.
When she suddenly came to her senses, she realized that Uncle Broken Blade and Grandpa Du had become mysterious, and they spent much less time in the village than before.
After lunch that day, I ran to the next door, but it was empty again.
"Do you want to know what they did?" Bai Yu came out from behind and stood in front of the little baby with his head held high and an expression on his face that he was about to ask me.
He didn't go home at noon today. He shamelessly stayed at Xiao Su's house and was bored when he went back. It would be more interesting to play with Tianbao.
Tianbao, "You know?"
"Of course I know! Uncle Duandao goes to the city every day to pick up jobs, and Grandpa Du also sells pills in the city. Didn't you notice that the herbs in the medicine garden behind you are bald?"
"Why?"
"Earn money!"
"What?"
Bai Yu, "...Tianbao, have you forgotten what master taught you? As a human being, you must know how to accept things when they are good. Just ask one or two questions. Don't always break the casserole and ask to the end!"
Sweetie, "You don't know."
"..."
Can you lose meat if you step on me less?
Tianbao ignored everyone, walked to the pharmacy and sat under the eaves, holding his chin in his hands, his little eyebrows wrinkled for a while.
Bai Yu couldn't control his legs, so he walked over to the baby and sat down together, "What are you thinking about?"
"Earn money." Uncle Duandao and Grandpa Du wanted money, but she didn't have any.
Hearing this, the little boy next to him immediately pulled off the small embroidered satin purse from his waist and stuffed it into her arms, "I have it! Here it is! If you don't have enough, ask me for it. I don't have much, but I have too much money, so much that I have no place for it." flower!"
Outside the door, a small figure stood leaning against the door, his face lowered and his eyes lost.
He touched his waist with his little hand and found nothing. In the past, he always carried money with him.
it's gone now.
He couldn't help Tianbao, nor could he help Uncle Broken Knife and Grandpa Du.
In the yard, the soft and waxy voice of the little baby came quickly, "No."
"Why? I gave it to you for free and you don't even want it?!"
"Uncle Broken Blade won't want it, otherwise Grandpa Du will steal it." Where can I sell pills?
Bai Yu, "..."
Wei Li, "..."
For a moment, the little boy outside the door covered his lips and snickered. Yes, Sweet Baby is smart.
In the courtyard, Bai Yu's good intentions did not please him, he angrily took his purse back and hung it on his waist again, "Su Tianbao, just catch me and bully me!"
The little baby girl tilted her head and looked at him expressionlessly, then handed a jelly bean to his eyes, "Here."
Bai Yu's face turned gloomy, "Eat it for me? Even if you still have some conscience, I'll eat it. I don't care about you because you're young! I'm not greedy for your jelly beans. I have many delicious ones. yes!"
Picking up the jelly beans, Bai Yu threw them into his mouth and sipped them.
It tastes good and sweet.
The little milk baby kept looking at him. When all the jelly beans melted in his mouth, he said softly, "Give me money."
"..." Su Tianbao, tell me what you and Grandpa Du learned?
