Rebirth and Raising a Baby

After seeing off the hall brother and his wife, Lin Ling returned to the hall.

Lin Ling glanced at the time, it was almost nine o'clock in the evening.

She glanced at the children's room, why did it take Dabao and the others so long to do their homework tonight?
She nodded to Chu Yi who was holding the money bag.

"Dabao, why aren't they sleeping?"

Usually at this point, Dabao and the others should wash up and go to bed.

However, the lights in the room were still on.

Is the homework so difficult?
"Maybe it's for fun, I'll go to remind you." Chu Yi disagreed, got up and walked away.

Lin Ling casually put the money into the room and followed.

It's only been a month since I went to school. It's not a good thing that I can't finish my homework so soon!
The room was brightly lit.

Chu Yi stood beside him frowning.

Da Bao lowered his head and said nothing, while Er Bao played with his fingers.

Looks a little depressed.

Lin Ling was puzzled, what happened?
"Why haven't you finished your homework yet?"

Lin Ling took a closer look and found the problem.

The pencils of the two children are almost sharpened now.

She left three pencils for one person, but now each one has been sharpened, a table full of pencil shavings, and the graphite strips inside are all as long as one centimeter, and the broken ones can't be written at all.

No wonder the two children have dawdled until now and haven't finished their homework.

"Dabao, what's going on?"

Lin Ling was the first to question Dabao.

Even if they fell and broke the pencil, it is impossible for two children to fall at the same time, right?
The pencil is still protected by a pencil case, so it is logically impossible for it to fall so badly!
"Falled."

Dabao replied reluctantly.

Lin Ling knew that this was not the truth.

"Where did you fall?" she asked.

In this weather, neither rain nor snow, it is impossible to slip and fall for no reason.

"At school..." Er Bao.

"On the way..." Dabao said.

The two answered at the same time.

Two different answers were given.

Lin Ling nodded, she was so strong that she dared to lie to her!
One of the two must be lying!
But Lin Ling was not in a hurry.

She went back to her room and took out two mechanical pencils.

The pencil lead is replaceable, and the casing is made of steel, which has a better feel and is slightly heavier.

The thickness of the lead is 2MM, which is no different from ordinary pencils.

There is a corresponding pencil sharpener, and you only need to replace the lead when it is used up.

This is the reward she originally planned to give to the children, and she originally planned to use it when they were older.

If you are in a hurry to use it now, put it on top first.

"Here, finish your homework first."

When she arrived, Chu Yi was communicating with Dabao, but Dabao refused to answer any questions.

Seeing that Chu Yi's face began to show anger, Lin Ling quickly pulled him back.

Dabao suddenly raised his head, his eyes were a little surprised.

He thought he would be scolded for breaking so many pencils, but Lin Ling didn't scold him at all, instead he took a new pencil and asked him to do his homework.

"Let's go."

"Dabao and Erbao, write your homework quickly, and go to bed later."

Before closing the door, Lin Ling gave some instructions.

With the door closed.

Dabao's heart was also put back into his stomach.

If she said that, wouldn't she stop asking about pencils?
Even though he broke three pencils, he also felt bad, wasted.

But he really didn't want to say it.

Er Bao touched his brother's hand: "Brother, this pencil is a little different."

Dabao raised his eyes and looked over, it seemed a little different.

The casing is more like a pen used by adults, but the refill in the middle is indeed a pencil.

"it's wired."

Dabao muttered, picked up a pencil and tried to write two words.

Then he was pleasantly surprised to find that although the pen was a bit heavier, the words written were exactly the same as those written by a pencil.

"so amazing!"

He exclaimed, thinking of the discarded pencils on the table, he felt a little sad again.

"Hurry up and do your homework!"

Dabao urged.

As soon as he and his younger brother got home, they hid in the room to study the pencil, but they never got it right. All three of their pencils were sharpened.

"It's all the bear's fault!"

Erbao shouted angrily.

"Stop talking about it, it won't be good if your mother hears it later, write it quickly."

After Dabao finished speaking, he buried himself in writing.

Today, because the bear broke the pen, he didn't practice calligraphy after returning home.

It's irritating!

But no matter how angry he was, he had to finish his homework first, otherwise he would be ashamed to be criticized by the teacher by name tomorrow.

Er Bao nodded vigorously, writing stroke by stroke.

"Daughter-in-law, tell me, what are their brothers doing?"

Sitting in the hall, the couple had lost their mind to watch TV, and their minds were full of thinking about what was wrong with Dabao and Erbao.

Lin Ling shook her head: "When you took a shower just now, did you see any scars on their bodies?"

Chu Yi was stunned for a moment: "I washed the second treasure, but I didn't have it."

"It's Dabao, today he suddenly said he wants to take a bath..."

Having said that, Chu Yi vaguely guessed the truth.

It was specified that Dabao had a fight with someone and dropped his schoolbag, which broke the pencil.

The child didn't dare to let his family know when he got home, so he kept it a secret.

Lin Ling gave him a white look: "Didn't you notice the scars on his face and hands?"

Chu Yi made a bitter face, and said aggrievedly: "I didn't. He said he had to wash it by himself. I just thought it was a comparison with my classmates and I was quite happy, so I didn't pay attention."

"Okay, I'll go to school tomorrow and ask the teacher."

Lin Ling shook her head and stopped thinking about it.

What can we do now!
Hurry up and let today pass.

After ten minutes, there was movement in the children's room.

Lin Ling got up immediately, followed by Chu Yi.

Lin Ling knocked on the door, and the door opened from the inside.

"Finished?"

Lin Ling raised her eyebrows and asked.

It was settled so quickly.

"Well, I'm done." Dabao replied honestly, still keeping his head down.

Lin Ling didn't think much about it at first, and only thought that he was guilty of doing something wrong, but what Chu Yi said just now gave her some thoughts.

I still remember that when eating tonight, Dabao lowered his head like this.

I didn't pay attention at the time, but now that I think about it, it doesn't feel right no matter how I look at it.

Taking advantage of Dabao's inattention, Lin Ling supported his chin and asked him to raise his head.

Dabao was startled, desperately trying to retract his head.

Chu Yi grabbed his hand to prevent him from struggling.

Under the light, Dabao's face can be clearly seen.

There was a scratch from a fingernail near the chin, also around the corner of the eye, and the corner of the mouth was also red.

There were so many scars on the face that was originally fair and clean, which made it look a little dazzling.

Lin Ling held his breath.

"How is this going?"

Chu Yi frowned.

Dabao learned how to fight with people so quickly?
Er Bao came over trembling, and explained in a low voice: "Brother didn't do it on purpose."

"Tell me!"

"Did your brother get into a fight?"

Lin Ling became interested, and regardless of Dabao's mood, she grabbed Erbao and started asking.

Dabao doesn't want to say that it's okay, Erbao is still there, and Erbao is honest, so he won't lie.
