"If you two don't say a few words, I won't be able to stop your mouths while eating."

"Ling Shuyao, you are a little kid, you talk back to your elders like this, what kind of tutor are you doing?"

Ling Youhua glared at Ling Shuyao and ate faster. He had disliked this granddaughter since she was a child. He didn't know why he didn't like her, and he couldn't tell. He didn't like Liu Lian as his daughter-in-law, so he also hated the child she gave birth to.

"Dad, don't you know what kind of tutor this is? As the saying goes, those who are close to red are red and those who are close to ink are black. If the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, that is not the same."

"you……"

Liu Lian's soft-spoken words did not affect her meal at all, but she was very considerate to Ling Youhua and Shen Zhen.

Ling Shuyao took a mouthful of food, chewed it, turned to look at her mother, her expression was as usual, she still chewed her food carefully, drank the soup without making any sound, and looked as good as ever.

If I could do this, would I still worry about not performing well in a quarrel?

Usually I am not only short-sighted, but I also lack an eloquent mouth.

The second half of the meal was very quiet. After the meal, Shuyao helped Liu Lian clean up. He remembered that You Wan had some unused books and asked Liu Lian to borrow them for him.

"Mom, I went to You Xia's house today. Sister Wan is studying. She is in sixth grade. Can you lend me some of her useless books? I want to study on my own."

Ling Shuyao blinked her big bright eyes, her palm-sized face full of expectation. Liu Lian looked at Ling Shuyao's innocent, ignorant and expectant face, and agreed to give her a try after finishing her housework.

"Hahahaha, thank you, mom."

"Let me ask you, you can't read, why do you want to read?"

"Sister You Wan said there are pinyin classes in the lower grades. I can read them once I learn pinyin. I can definitely understand them."

Ling Shuyao is not afraid that Liu Lian will ask You Wan, and she will definitely not ask You Wan, so she can rest assured to talk nonsense.

"Then Pinyin also has initials, rhymes and so on. Do you know it?"

"I don't understand, but you do! Mom, please teach me. I'm smart and I will learn quickly and well."

"Shameless kid, this is the first time I've ever seen someone praise myself for being smart. Go ahead and play, I'll borrow it from you later."

After Ling Shuyao achieved his goal, he ran to play with You Xia. Taking advantage of the fact that he hasn't officially started school yet, if they play together often, they might be able to find out the reason for You Xia's autism and depression in the future!

He immediately went to find You Xia. As soon as they met, they decided to play in the sandy land not far from home. The sandy land was actually the cultivated land of Ling Shuyao's family. I haven’t been growing vegetables recently, so I took my shovel to dig a castle in the sand!

Liu Lian finished washing the dishes, tidied the kitchen, and went to beat the pig grass again. After feeding the pigs, she shook off the ashes on her body. She took the peach cakes that Ling Jianjun bought last time and a pack of sugar and went to Youjia. .

Around here is the Youjia Youwan, who is currently in the sixth grade of elementary school. She loves her children and has a lot of miscellaneous books. Ling Shuyao wants to read books, so she will definitely have to borrow them often in the future. Give her something first and then borrow and return them often. More convenient.

……

Liu Lian went to Youjia by the familiar route, put her things on the table in the main room, and went to the kitchen to find Huang Xiuying. Huang Xiuying was cooking pig food behind the stove, and she laughed when she saw Liu Lian coming.

"You're here! Come inside and sit down." Huang Xiuying greeted.

"It's been a long time, haven't I missed you?" After saying that, he sat next to Huang Xiuying and helped pass two sticks of firewood.

"Yao Yao has been in good condition these past two days. I think her coming to Xiaoxia is no different from before."

"Well, it just feels different than before."

"Why is it different? Has your temperament changed? Or has something else changed?"

"I can't put it into words, but I don't feel like a child. Although I still call me mom and my favorite food has not changed, it just feels different. You don't understand that feeling!"

"Don't worry too much. The high fever lasts for so long. Most children would go crazy with the fever. Your Yaoyao can survive it, which means she has some luck. What are you worried about? She is your daughter after all, right?"

"Sister Huang, that's true. Yaoyao said she wants to read and study. Do you still need the book in front of your Wanwan family? I'll borrow it for Yaoyao to pass the time."

"It should be no problem, I'll ask her."

Fortunately, today is the weekend and You Wan is also at home. After hearing Liu Lian say that she wanted to borrow books from Ling Shuyao, she agreed to lend her all the textbooks for the fifth grade. He also told Liu Lian that he could ask Shuyao if he had anything he didn't understand.

Huang Xiuying also echoed, thinking that Liu Lian planned to teach Ling Shuyao at home first, "It's more than a year before Ling Shuyao should go to school."

"Are you planning to let her learn in advance?"

"No, Yaoyao said she wanted to see and learn. I thought about it and let her try it by herself."

"I thought you were going to teach yourself."

"Nothing."

"Does your family want to work part-time in the city before the founding of the army? Her father said that she can go to the city to work part-time next month and earn money for several months. He has contacted several people and asked me to ask you. Will Jianjun go this time?"

"I'll ask him when he comes back in the evening. I can't make a decision for him. It doesn't matter whether he goes or not. I'll leave you a message whether he goes or not."

"Ah."

While Liu Lian and Huang Xiuying were talking, You Wan had already packed up two large bundles of books from the room and placed them on a short bench for Liu Lian.

Seeing this, Huang Xiuying said with a smile that she would get a backpack for her to put back. Liu Lian thought it was troublesome, so she declined. She sorted the books by herself, and then she could go back with her arms.

Even though I didn’t read much, it was quite heavy and I was still out of breath when I got home. He opened the door and put the books into categories on the only cabinet in the bedroom so that Ling Shuyao could easily read them.

After doing this, he saw that there was not enough grass in the cattle pen, so he put his basket on his back, picked up his sickle and went out. Head straight to the north slope, where the grass grows best and can be mowed quickly.

After finishing the cow grass, I went to water the newly planted vegetables in the field. By the time I finished working, it was already evening and I had to go back to cook.

Ling Shuyao spent the whole day playing with You Xia. They played all the games and ran around for a long time. When she came home in the evening, she saw the books on the cabinet after washing her hands and changing clothes. She almost jumped up with joy.

I ran to the kitchen and watched my mother lighting up the fire and cooking. The cooking was completed in one go, and I knew it was almost time to eat again.

"Mom, can you teach me tonight?"

"You come and help me light the fire first. Finish it as soon as possible and teach me early. Okay?"

Ling Shuyao nodded, walked over and took the firewood from her mother's hand, and was responsible for lighting the fire and steaming the rice, while Liu Lian was responsible for cooking.

Statement Zhen came back with two bundles of firewood, carried them directly into the kitchen from the small door, and placed them in the pile of firewood. The hatchet and knife holder were also taken off the belt and hung behind the kitchen door.

He said nothing with a sullen face and went straight to wash his hands and change clothes.

Liu Lian and Ling Shuyao also went about their own business without saying anything.

After leading Youhua back, he changed his clothes and lay on the recliner, smoking leaf cigarettes. His cloudy eyes wandered around with the puff of smoke, not knowing what he was planning.

……

After eating, Ling Jianjun came back. He is the happiest when he comes back to collect Shuyao. No reason, just for the father's love that she has been missing for decades.

Ling Jianjun loved Ling Shuyao very much. When Ling Jianjun died in his previous life, he held Ling Shuyao's hand so hard and made her promise that she would live a good life and never give up. When Ling Jianjun died, Ling Shuyao felt completely helpless. , still fresh in my memory until my rebirth.

"Dad, will you teach me how to read?"

"Daughter, you go over first, dad will be here soon."

When the leader of the Jianjun went to work, he usually didn't eat at home. He ate at Jiang's house. Although the salary was not much, he was responsible for one meal a day, which was considered a good boss in the village.

Today is Sunday, and his wages are settled every six days, and he pays according to the quantity. After deducting the half-day wages for visiting Ling Shuyao that day, there were still eighty-two yuan left.

Ling Jianjun gave forty to Ling Youhua, Ling Youhua reached out to take it, counted it in his hand, found that the money was correct, put it directly into his pocket, and sat on the steps of the courtyard to continue smoking leaves. cigarette.

Ling Jianjun saw Ling Youhua collect the money and went to the kitchen. Liu Lian saw Ling Jianjun coming and asked him to fetch water and take a bath. After taking a bath and changing clothes, she went to accompany Ling Shuyao.

At this time, Ling Shuyao had just sorted out his thoughts. Where should he start? In order to suit his age, he deliberately learned Pinyin first. He would have to ask his mother to buy a dictionary someday. By then, no matter how much he read or how many books he read, he would learn Pinyin first. There are reasons to be able to cope with it.

After figuring it out, she started her plan, took out her first-grade Chinese textbook, and started her own learning path. When Ling Jianjun saw how serious she was, he became more serious when teaching.

Ling Jianjun only had a primary school diploma, but he could still tell Ling Shuyao what was said in the book. Ling Shuyao had also learned it in his previous life, so it gave people the impression that if he taught once and learned once, he could already draw inferences about other cases. .

After learning the initials and syllables in succession, Ling Shuyao began to learn Chinese characters from sounds, reading simple articles and taking simple after-school tests.

Liu Lian expressed doubts about the progress of Ling Shuyao's study, and Ling Shuyao said that she would let her check randomly. After checking a few times, Liu Lian would ignore it.

Liu Lian knew what Shuyao was like before. I can't help but think that this shouldn't be her Yaoyao! The look in Ling Shuyao's eyes was always complicated. Ling Shuyao knew that Liu Lian must have doubted her!

"Yao Yao, do you still remember what your Aunt Xiuying asked you in the vegetable field next to the fence years ago?"

Liu Lian stared at Ling Shuyao's face without blinking, as if she was afraid of missing any expression. Ling Shuyao felt that her old mother had almost made a hole in her.

She said calmly, "I know, she asked me if I knew I still have a biological grandmother and a biological grandfather?"

"Then what did you say?"

"I know it."

"Is dad's birthday the first day of May?"

"Mom, don't you remember? Dad's birthday is obviously the seventh day of July!"

"When is Mom's birthday? Do you remember what Mom's favorite food is?"

"Mom, I was just sick before, not stupid. Your birthday is on the tenth day of winter, and you like to eat peach cakes." Ling Shuyao's eyes were crooked, and she held Liu Lian's right hand with both hands, pretending to be cute and silly, and shook her little The head is coquettish.

"My dearest mother, I am truly your daughter."

I added silently in my heart, your grown-up daughter.

Although Liu Lian couldn't believe it, she finally felt relieved. Regardless of whether she really took Shuyao or not, she was still pregnant with her in ten months!

Liu Lian figured it out and didn't embarrass herself.

Thinking about Huang Xiuying asking Ling Jianjun about it in the afternoon, she had to tell Ling Jianjun that whether or not to go still needed to be discussed.
