After a few months of busy work, it was time for five wealthy merchants from Beidi to come and take away the last batch of pigs.

After the thirty pigs were pooped, the remaining ones were all Lu Yan's pigs. There were already eighteen piglets before, and the three sows gave birth to twenty-six more piglets. Lu Yan suddenly had forty-four pigs, including sixteen boars.

You can't keep too many boars, otherwise they will fight fiercely. This time, Lu Yan directly brought eight boars and two sows back to Liaoyang. The New Year is coming soon, and she plans to keep two male and two female piglets, and slaughter the rest for food. She only wants one pig for her family, and the rest will be distributed to the veterans who have worked for her for half a year.

It was almost Chinese New Year when Lu Yan got home. Lu Shuang was already very comfortable calling her father and mother, but he still called her sister the most.

Lu Yan thought of a good idea to let Lu Wei learn while playing. She drew a few picture books and taught Lu Wei all the words on them. Lu Wei read the picture books to Lu Shuang. In this way, the child could learn the words and take care of the child. Lu Yan didn't have to worry about her forcing herself to learn too much every day. She could learn while playing. Killing two birds with one stone.

Lu Yan could only write stories, not draw. Lu Sheng had to draw the illustrations. So she got a blank notebook and wrote a paragraph on each page, and asked Lu Sheng to draw the illustrations for the paragraph.

"The tadpoles are looking for their mother." Lu Sheng commented as he drew: "Spring is here, and many tadpoles have appeared in the pond. They are swimming happily in the water. They saw the chicks on the shore being very close to their mothers, and the tadpoles were very envious, so they decided to go find their own mothers. Let me ask, how did they get separated from their mothers?"

Lu Yan: ...

"Don't ask so many questions." Lu Yan said.

Lu Sheng continued to complain: "They first met Grandpa Shrimp and asked him what their mother looked like. Grandpa Shrimp told them that their mother had two big eyes. Hahaha, do tadpoles know what two means? They can actually count."

Lu Yan: ...

"You are poisonous!" Lu Yan manually paused Lu Sheng's complaints: "What's wrong with tadpoles? They can talk. Is it strange that they can count?"

Lu Sheng slapped his own mouth and said, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything. Actually, your book is pretty good. Not only can it help her recognize words, but it can also help her get familiar with numbers."

"I didn't write it." Lu Yan distanced herself from the story as usual: "But this story is really good. Not only can it teach people to read and count, but it can also teach them some common sense, such as how tadpoles will slowly turn into frogs. I have several stories in my hand, and after thinking about it, I feel that they are not suitable for Lu Wei to read."

Lu Sheng became interested: "For example?"

"For example, the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. We discussed this on Chinese Valentine's Day a few years ago. There are also a few love stories that are a bit weird. I find that any story becomes weird once it is mixed with love." Lu Yan said: "For example, there is a story called Cinderella."

"Cinderella's mother died, and her father remarried a stepmother with two sisters. The stepmother and two sisters always bullied her and made her do some housework. One day the prince held a ball and invited all the girls in the city to attend."

Lu Sheng interrupted her: "Prince? What is a prince?"

Lu Yan explained: "He is the emperor's son."

Lu Sheng suddenly realized: "It's the prince. The prince is holding a dance party???"

Lu Yan explained again: "Other countries. Suppose this country has boys and girls dancing together often."

Lu Sheng skipped the dance and continued to ask: "Invite all the girls in the city to participate??? Do you know how many people there are in a city?"

"Of course I know." Lu Yan rolled her eyes: "Isn't this a fairy tale? Forget it, forget it. I said this kind of story is not suitable for her to tell!"

Lu Sheng looked surprised: "It's over already? Isn't this a love story? Where's the love?"

"Dead." Lu Yan said calmly, "As you kept asking, love was stillborn. It was strangled before it even sprouted."

Lu Sheng: ...

Lu Sheng also felt aggrieved: "You blame me again?"

Lu Yan comforted him: "It's not your fault. There's something wrong with this story. It's also wrong if you don't ask about it."

Most fairy tales are impossible to draw, so Lu Yan simply made a set of soft science books. After "The Tadpole Looking for its Mother", she drew "The Chick Looking for its Mother" and "The Caterpillar Looking for its Mother", and drew some animals whose juvenile and adult bodies look different. Later, she compiled several plant science books, "What's in the Field", "What's in the Vegetable Garden", and "What's in the Forest". When these plants grow in the spring, Lu Yan will take Lu Wei and Lu Shuang to see them in person.

Lu Wei was indeed very surprised when she received the picture book. She had never seen such a book before, with more pictures than words. She found it very interesting after listening to Lu Yan's story, and she memorized the stories in the book in just a few days.

Children are like this. Although she can't recognize so many words, she can remember things very quickly. Remember the story first, and don't be in a hurry to remember the words. Tell it to Lu Shuang first, and then slowly recognize the words by herself.

When Lu Yan has free time, she starts cooking. She brought back a pig, and the essential things to do are definitely drying sausages and braising offal.

The smell of Lu Yan's marinated offal was so strong that it could be smelled for miles across the yard. Lu Wei saw Lu Yan's true skills for the first time. Seeing her clean up the smelly intestines, lungs, stomachs, hearts and livers and make such delicious food, he was completely stunned and clamored to learn from Lu Yan.

Lu Yan laughed at her: "You can't even reach the stove now, what's the point of learning it?"

Lu Wei was not angry either. He patted his short legs with a smile and said, "Then you can teach me when I grow taller and can reach the stove."

Lu Yan was very surprised: "Why do you want to learn everything? There are so many things to learn, what's so good about learning how to cook a dish?"

Lu Wei blinked his eyes: "I'll learn whatever I can."

Lu Yan verbally agreed, "Okay, okay," and thought to herself, "I'll send you there to study when the academy opens, so you don't have to be idle and interested in anything."
