"Why did mom take your clothes? Why don't you explain yourself?" Lan Shichu snorted and asked Xiao Congyun.
At this moment, he pretended not to understand Lan Shichu's words. He looked around but didn't answer. He was pretending to be stupid. He obviously knew that it was his own fault for not having any clothes to wear.
"Is it because it was stained by you?" Lan Shichu continued to ask.
"No!" the little thing retorted confidently.
"Hey, you have actually learned to lie. Do you want to be beaten? Is your butt itchy again?" Lan Shichu laughed angrily, put him on the ground, stared at him and asked.
The little guy was obviously aware of the danger, and he immediately admitted his mistake very wisely, and said fluently: "It's because of this that the clothes were soiled, mother, don't beat me."
After saying that, he smiled flatteringly at Lan Shichu, smiling in a sweet and obedient manner, without the slightest hint that he was actually naughty and mischievous.
The mother-in-law was obviously deceived by his duplicitous appearance, and immediately picked him up lovingly. Before Lan Shichu could speak, she began to excuse him: "Such a young child, you know what lying is. You Just teach him well from now on, how can you beat him so easily, it will scare the child."
Lan Shichu laughed angrily and said, "Mom, don't spoil him. He is too naughty. If he does something wrong, he will suffer the consequences. You can't just let him do whatever he wants. If he soils his clothes this time, he will be punished." Stand for two quarters of an hour."
Mrs. Liu glared at her and said, "He is only over a year old. Even if he does something wrong, just educate him. Why should he be punished? Why are you acting like a stepmother?"
"Stepmother!" The little fat man shouted with a smile.
Lan Shichu narrowed his eyes, snatched him from Mr. Liu's arms, and then slapped him on the butt. Before he could react, he slapped him several times and said, "Since you call me queen, Now that I’m a mother, I’ll just do something like a stepmother.”
The little thing was stunned. He obviously didn't expect this development. Grandma couldn't protect him at all. His little butt hurt again, and he burst out crying. He hugged Lan Shichu's arm and cried pitifully. Xi said: "Mom, don't hit me! Dear mother, don't hit me..."
Lan Shichu asked him with a half-smile, "Are you still skinny?"
He immediately shook his little head like a wave drum: "No more skin, no more skin."
Mrs. Liu quickly took the little guy away: "Come on, hurry up, your mother is cruel."
At this time, Gong Liangjian, who had finished her homework for the day, left her room. Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but smile and said to Lan Shichu: "Aunt, my brother is still young. It's normal to be naughty."
"They say you look old at the age of three. Although he is less than three years old, you can still see his true character. He is obviously a restless person. If he grows up a few years, he will definitely be a disgusting guy who flirts with cats and dogs. I While he is young now, teach him a lesson as soon as possible." Lan Shichu retorted.
Gongliang Congyun didn't know if it was because he was raised so well by Lan Shichu when he was a baby. He was full of energy. Even in such a desolate and barren place of exile, he lived happily and didn't care about the bad environment at all. Even though he is poor, he can also find fun on his own. For example, he follows his elder brothers and sisters to dig wild vegetables. He is very active in digging grass. When his grandfather and uncle take him to the nearest market to exchange things, he enjoys just watching people. Who can let him? The village is very desolate, with very few people? When I went to the market and saw so many people, I naturally found it very novel and interesting.
"It would be great if he was as gentle and quiet as you. I wonder who inherited his naughty and mischievous character?" Lan Shichu couldn't help but sigh.
Gong Liangjian thought for a while. She inherited her quietness from her father, and her younger brother's naughty and lively personality was inherited from his second uncle, right? He is almost twelve years old now. He still remembers that when he was young, his second uncle was a lively and fun-loving person. He had friends all over the capital. It was only after he experienced being confiscated and exiled that his second uncle became stable and mature. His younger brother probably Just like my second uncle before.
The twelve-year-old boy was already half an adult in this era and knew that some things should not be mentioned casually, so he changed the subject: "Auntie, shall we go hunting in the mountains in the afternoon?"
"Okay, I haven't had any meat at home for a few days." Lan Shichu agreed immediately.
So after the afternoon, Lan Shichu went up the mountain with his three children. Yes, three children. Gongliang Congyun, the little guy, learned that his brother and sister were going out with his mother and he was not happy to stay by himself. He was crying and wanted to follow him. Lan Shichu was so noisy by his loud cries that he had a headache, so he had to take him with him.
"Brother! Look, bow, bow and arrow!" The little fat man proudly held his little slingshot and showed off to Gong Liangjian.
Gongliang Jian couldn't help laughing: "Brother, what you have is not a bow and arrow, but a slingshot."
The little fat man suddenly let out a confused sound and aimed at his slingshot.
"You little fool, you can't even tell the difference between a bow and an arrow and a slingshot. Auntie's one is called a bow! It also has arrows!" Gongliang Yuzhu laughed.
"Okay, he's so young, it's normal that he can't recognize him. As a sister, don't laugh at him." Gongliang Jian glared at his sister.
"Smile at him, he will be impressed, and he will never admit his mistakes again!" Gongliang Yuzhu said unconvinced. Seeing that her elder brother wanted to teach her a lesson, she quickly ran away, ran to the front, and said to Lan Shichu, "Auntie, what kind of prey are we hunting today?"
"Just hit whatever you encounter." Lan Shichu said, "It would be great if you can encounter prey. Can you still be picky?"
"Auntie, with your ability, you have the capital to be picky." Yuzhu is very confident in Lan Shichu. Over the past year or so, Lan Shichu has slowly shown her ability in hunting, and everyone has gradually accepted her. The fact that she was good at hunting made Yuzhu admire her even more, and she often pestered Lan Shichu to teach her.
When Lan Shichu saw that she was so interested, he specially made a small bow and arrow for her to practice archery. When Gongliang Jian found out about it, she also asked Lan Shichu to make one for him. He felt that as the eldest son of the Gongliang family, he The eldest grandson should work harder than his younger sister, both in terms of literature and martial arts.
Although Gong Liangxian and Gong Liangqin were exiled, they did not think that their family was in such decline. Therefore, they still attached great importance to Gong Liangjian's studies. Otherwise, they would not have worked hard to squeeze out money to buy the goods under such difficult conditions. Pen, ink, paper and inkstone allow Gongliang Jian to continue learning.
Lan Shichu suddenly felt pity for Gong Liangjian in his previous life. In his previous life, Gong Liangqin died. Gong Liangxian had to work to support four people by himself, and he was almost exhausted. Even with Gong Liang Subai's relief, it was not easy, let alone him. His face was disfigured and his hand was broken, and his heart was filled with despair. Naturally, he had no intention of letting his son continue studying.
At a young age, Gongliang Jian had to work hard with his father to support the family, and it was impossible for him to have the energy to study. Therefore, even if they returned to Beijing later, they would be delayed forever.
