Watson thought of the conversations between his father and Uncle Liu, and suddenly understood what his husband was talking about. He didn't know how to answer for a while.
After thinking for a long time, he looked at Ergou and said, "Study hard after school and don't embarrass your husband."
Ergou didn't even understand what the husband and Watson were talking about, so he only nodded to the husband and Watson.
Seeing Watson's serious look, the teacher couldn't help but laugh and said softly: "It's not as scary as you think. After all, we have a lot of practitioners here, and the water bandits don't dare to come in."
Suddenly, Watson remembered that he learned archery from the blacksmith, and his spirits suddenly lifted.
He looked up at his husband and said, "Don't be afraid, sir. When Watson is older, I can protect you. I am now a student of archery with the blacksmith master."
"Archery?" The gentleman shook his head and said, "Shouldn't you be studying the knowledge in books now? Why do you suddenly think of learning archery from the blacksmith?"
Ergou looked at his husband and smiled and said, "Watson wants to go hunting in the back mountains when it snows. It won't work if he doesn't know archery... I don't know how to do that either, so I have to rely on Watson."
"Sir, please wait. When I catch game in the winter, I will bring it to the school and give it to you. Now I can shoot the red heart drawn by the blacksmith."
Watson looked at his husband and Ergou and smiled proudly.
After watching Watson remain silent for a long time, the teacher gently replied: "Just don't affect your studies. In these turbulent years, it's always a good thing to learn some self-defense skills."
Watson looked at him and nodded heavily and replied: "Don't worry, sir, I will keep practicing."
The husband looked at him and said: "Since you like it, you should stick to it. When it snows, take the hare you hunted from the mountain and tell your father that you are a person who will not give up on his dream."
"My father has already agreed to this. He said that as long as I don't affect my studies at school, he will not interfere with me learning archery from the blacksmith master."
When Watson saw that he had reached the school gate, he took Ergou and clasped fists with his husband and saluted: "Sir, take care, we will come to school another day!"
"Study hard!" The husband looked at the two children and replied in a serious tone: "Study hard and be a useful person. Remember: when young people thrive, the country thrives!"
"Don't worry, sir, I have memorized this sentence: When young people prosper, the country will prosper!"
After waving goodbye to his husband, Watson took Ergou's hand and ran toward the side street. After chatting with my husband for a while, he suddenly wanted to go home and read.
He decided to read the text taught by his teacher again in the past two days, just like the eldest sister said: review the past and learn the new.
Ergou looked up at Watson and asked, "Watson, why can't I understand what you said to your husband?"
Watson looked at him and smiled and said: "Study hard after you go to school. You will gradually understand these principles later. It is useless to tell you now."
Watson thought to himself, there are many truths in this that I haven't even figured out yet, how can I explain them to you?
"Don't worry, I won't fall asleep during class when school starts!"
This is the only thing Ergou can do with Watson at the moment.
Watson looked back at him, shook his head gently, and murmured: "Is it about sleeping? That's not up to you."
Even if I hear something boring sometimes, I can't help but lie down and fall asleep, let alone Ergou who just entered the school? Watson would never believe he could do it.
"I promise! I will never sleep!" Ergouzi reiterated.
While they were talking, the two of them had already returned to the door of Watson's shop. Watson looked at Ergou and said, "If you want me to go home and read, I won't play anymore today. You should also take it easy. School will start in the next two days."
Ergou looked at him and said feebly: "Okay, I'll just stay at home for two days."
Watson looked at him and nodded, and said seriously: "Yes, even if I am accompanying your mother and sister Xiaolian, I will stay at home for a few days."
Waving his hand, Watson walked into his store.
Uncle Liu looked up at Watson and asked, "Watson, have your father, eldest sister, and eldest brother already boarded the boat?"
"I've been here for a long time. I took Ergou around the school!" Watson replied and dove into the room.
School is about to start soon, so it's not too late for Watson to cram into things.
...
In the days that followed, Sister Hong and Mrs. Liu found that Watson had become much better. He didn't go out every morning. After dinner, he hid in the main room and read with a book.
After having breakfast, Sister Hong looked at Ms. Liu and said with a smile: "Why did Watson suddenly become so good? I'm not used to it all of a sudden!"
Mrs. Liu looked at her and smiled and said, "It should be that the school is about to start, right? He should have gone to see the teacher yesterday. I think he is temporarily praying to the Buddha."
When Sister Hong heard this, she couldn't help laughing.
"I didn't expect this little brat to be able to pray for Buddha's feet on the spur of the moment. It's just that he has already gone on a wild vacation. Is there any use in spending two days reading a book?"
Mr. Liu shook his head and said with a smile: "Only he knows whether it is useful or not. Don't worry about him. I am too lazy to ask him. He is not studying for me."
When Sister Hong heard this, she couldn't help but glared at Mrs. Liu and said with a smile: "How about a mother like you? She even herds sheep for her own son. If she doesn't know, she will mistakenly think that Watson is not your biological son."
When Mrs. Liu heard this, she was so angry that she stretched out her hand and said with an angry smile: "You and Wang San have been married for so long, why haven't I seen you pregnant yet? Work harder and try to become a mother by this time next year."
Sister Hong's face immediately turned red when she heard this. She looked at Mr. Liu and murmured, "Since I became a mother, my sister has stopped talking and dared to say anything."
Mrs. Liu took her hand and smiled: "Why don't you care? Isn't it the most normal thing to have a child? Do you want me to ask your brother-in-law to come back and ask Wang San whether it is him or you? Do you want to find someone? Doctor, do you want to take a look?"
"Bah! How long has it been? Don't ask!" Sister Hong glared at Mrs. Liu.
Ms. Liu thought for a while and said seriously: "It's not impossible to think about it. If you are pregnant with a child now, he will be about the same age as the third child. You can let Watson teach them to read and write together."
"One sheep is being herded, and two sheep are being herded as well."
Mrs. Liu took Sister Hong's hand and said softly.
Watson, who was sitting in the main room studying, didn't feel peaceful for long before Uncle Liu called him to the counter of the store to chat.
Looking at Watson holding the book, Uncle Liu asked: "Why don't you go to the opposite side to play today? Just now, Blacksmith Hu came over and asked where you were wandering off again."
Watson looked at Uncle Liu and said with a smile: "School will start in two days. My husband asked me to come back and read the books from last semester again, just to review the past and learn something new."
When Uncle Liu heard this, he suddenly laughed, looked at him and praised: "I didn't expect that your father is not at home, and you can still stay at home. It seems that the teacher in the school taught you better!"
"My husband is naturally the best, otherwise he wouldn't be able to tell us some truths that are not in the books. When I grow up and become a teacher, I will also teach my students more truths."
Watson looked at Uncle Liu and said seriously. There was a fire burning gently in the small eyes, which shocked Uncle Liu. He looked at him for a long time and was speechless.
"If your words are heard by the shopkeeper, I'm afraid he will be too happy to eat."
Uncle Liu looked at Watson's serious look and couldn't help but praise him. On weekdays, neither he nor Huang Yushu praised Watson very much, just because they were afraid that he would float up and go outside to cause trouble.
In front of him, Watson was telling these truths at such a young age. Uncle Liu couldn't help but feel gratified. He looked at him and said with a smile, "I believe you will be a gentleman when you grow up, and be a qualified gentleman."
"I think so too." Watson looked at Uncle Liu and smiled. From his husband's mouth, his mother's mouth, and his father's mouth, he repeated his wishes when he grew up again and again, and he believed that he could definitely come true.
After talking to Uncle Liu for a while, Watson ducked into the room, holding the book in his hand and started chewing wildly.
The ancients said: It is a joy to learn and practice.
He was just cramming now, and it was painful.
Painful and happy, he ushered in the start of school, and Huang Yushu had not returned from the county seat on this day.
Watson told Mr. Liu that he would ask his father to sign up later, so he hurried to the school after breakfast that day.
In the past, students in school couldn't wait for the holidays, but this time everyone can't wait for the school to start.
As parents, we want our children to have a place where they can study in peace and a place to go. For children like Watson, they can play with their friends again after school starts.
Before he reached the door of the school, Watson met Ergou, who was coming to school on his first day.
Ergou patted Watson on the shoulder from behind, looked at him and smiled: "Watson, I'm here to go to school too!"
Watson was a little annoyed when Ergou patted him from behind. He turned around and glared at him and said, "Don't pat me on the shoulder from behind in the future. It will scare people to death."
"Got it!" Ergou looked at him and replied loudly, with a proud look on his face.
Watson looked back at him and asked, "Have you had breakfast this morning?"
"Of course I did. My mother told me that I can't go home until noon after entering school. If I don't eat, I will starve." Looking at the little friend in front of him, Ergou replied proudly.
"Well, that's good." Watson pondered for a while and then said solemnly: "During class, don't talk to the classmate next to you, sir, he will curse them."
When Ergou heard this, he immediately felt a little embarrassed. He lowered his head and replied softly: "Then I'll endure it and I'll come play with you after class."
Watson ignored this, looked at him and said with a smile: "You are here to learn knowledge from Mr., not to play with me in the school. You must remember this, otherwise Mr. will definitely slap you."
In Ergou's eyes, Watson is just a little gentleman. Looking at Watson's appearance, he can't help but admire him a little more.
He said seriously: "My mother also said that I will study knowledge with my husband during class, and then I can play with you Watson after class."
There was no way, how could Ergou, who only entered the school on his first day, be able to contain his wild nature.
Watson glanced at him and said angrily: "Go faster, it's time for class. You can't be late on the first day, sir, you'll be unhappy."
Ergou smiled and was not angry. He took Watson's hand and ran forward: "Watson, from now on I will go to your house every day and wait for you to go to school together, okay?"
"As long as you don't sleep in in the morning and get out of bed, I'll be waiting for you at home to go to school."
Even Watson liked having companions on the way to school.
Ergou coughed twice: "From today on, we will go to school together. If I don't understand anything, I will come and ask you after class. Then you can teach me."
Ergou was thinking about what Watson said in school, and asked him again today. Seeing that Watson had no objection, he added, "I will teach my sister when I get home."
When Watson heard Ergou's words, he laughed, looked at him and said, "Don't worry, as long as I understand, I will tell you so that you can go home and teach sister Xiaolian."
