After everyone left, the house finally became quiet. Shen Lianxin sat in the middle of the yard and called the children to her side.

Gu Chengxin and Gu Chengan were nervous because they knew that their mother was going to talk about what happened today.

Gu Chengzhen threw herself into Shen Lianxin's arms, drank the milk powder that Shen Lianxin made for her, and smiled with satisfaction.

Gu Chengan spoke first, "Mom, it's not our fault, it's Yang Dali. He scolded Dad first, then Mom, and beat my eldest brother, so I beat him together with my eldest brother." Shen Lianxin raised her eyebrows, but she didn't say it was their fault.

Gu Chengxin pulled Gu Chengan to stop him from speaking, "Mom, we were wrong."

Shen Lianxin glanced at Gu Chengxin, "You are wrong? What's wrong?"

Gu Chengxin pursed his lips and said, "We shouldn't fight with others and cause trouble for mother!" Then he lowered his head.

Shen Lianxin's face looked a little bad, and Gu Chengan immediately said honestly, "Mom, I, I, I was wrong..."

Shen Lianxin interrupted him, "You are not wrong."

Hearing this, they realized that it was correct. Gu Chengxin and Gu Chengan both raised their heads and looked at Shen Lianxin, with light seeming to ignite in their eyes.

"How can a real man stand firm in the world? If someone insults your parents, and you dare not speak out to stop them or teach them a lesson, then you are not worthy of being a son and you are a coward."

The two children nodded vigorously when they heard this.

"To protect what you have in your heart, you have marched forward courageously. In places where mother cannot see, Daxin and Xiaoan have protected the dignity of father and mother, which is equivalent to protecting mother. Mother thinks you have done a great job today. You are my little warriors. Therefore, mother will reward you."

As she spoke, Shen Lianxin took out two lollipops and handed them to them.

"Xiao Jing is smart and resourceful. At such a young age, he knew that his brothers were going to suffer, so he went to Aunt Zhang next door for help. This was a plan and also a reward."

Then she took out a lollipop and handed it to Gu Chengjing. Gu Chengzhen whined in her arms and wanted one too. Shen Lianxin took out a milk tablet and stuffed it into Gu Chengzhen's mouth to fool him.

Gu Chengxin and Gu Chengan didn't expect that their mother not only didn't blame them, but also rewarded them.

Gu Chengan immediately hugged Shen Lianxin's neck and gave her a kiss, "Mom, you are so kind. I said it was not our fault. You won't blame us, right?"

Shen Lianxin smiled and pushed him away. Gu Chengjing also came over and kissed her happily, "Thank you, mother."

Gu Chengxin is a big boy now, he is too embarrassed to imitate his brother to kiss his mother, but he is moved in his heart, thinking over and over again what his mother said, she said he was brave, he protected the dignity of his father and mother, she said he was her little warrior, he was very happy and proud. He grinned unconsciously, hehehehe.

Shen Lianxin carefully checked Gu Chengxin and Gu Chengan, fearing that she might have missed any serious injuries. Gu Chengan was pulled here and there, but he cooperated very well and said arrogantly, "Mom, I'm fine. I just scratched my arm a little and bled a little. It's healed a long time ago. Let me tell you, at the beginning, Yang Dali relied on his height to pin my brother down. I kicked him over as soon as I saw him. The two big black circles on his face were caused by me. He didn't get any advantage."

Shen Lianxin raised her eyebrows. Is Gu Chengan so fierce? She looked at Gu Chengxin, who also said, "Yes, mother, my second brother is very good at fighting. Although Yang Dali is older than us, he didn't get any advantage at all. He was beaten by us and ran home to complain to his mother. That's why what happened later happened."

Upon hearing this, Shen Lianxin felt happy and couldn't help laughing out loud, "What good boys!" She punched the two children lightly, and seeing her mother laughing so heartily, she also laughed.

After laughing for a while, Shen Lianxin frowned and looked at the children seriously. When they saw Shen Lianxin's expression change, they knew that she had something to say to them, so they stopped joking.

"Mother tells you that although there is justice, fairness, benevolence, loyalty, and filial piety in this world, there are also things that are lighter than a feather and heavier than Mount Tai. But what mother wants to tell you today is that mother is a selfish person. Mother does not need you to be great. To mother, nothing else can be important, only your safety and life are the most important."

"As long as it is safe, you must abide by the rules and respect etiquette, be polite and filial. But if anyone or anything threatens your life, all the etiquette, morality, benevolence and filial piety you have learned can be discarded. Only life is the most important. Do you understand?"

Gu Chengxin pondered, "Mom, isn't that selfish?"

Shen Lianxin smiled knowingly, "Mother is selfish. To mother, nothing in the world is more important than my son. I am just a peasant woman, I just hope that you can grow up safely and healthily."

To put it bluntly, what does the world have to do with her? It is enough for her to have the people she loves safe and healthy. She is just a little woman who wants ordinary happiness and to be a good person within her ability.

Gu Chengan nodded, "Mom, I understand."

Gu Chengxin hesitated, "Mom, if one day I go against your wishes, will you blame me?"

Shen Lianxin frowned slightly and took a deep look at her eldest son. He seemed obedient and sensible, but in fact he was deep-minded and didn't like to express himself. Sometimes Shen Lianxin couldn't guess what he was thinking.

"Daxin, everyone is an individual. I express my thoughts, but you can also have your own ideas and choices. No matter what you choose, you will be proud of me."

Gu Chengxin nodded, and finally threw himself into Shen Lianxin's arms like a younger brother or sister, "Mom, I understand."

After comforting several children, Shen Lianxin began to test their homework of the past two days. The children were very hardworking and had mastered the knowledge taught before leaving.

Shen Lianxin accelerated the course progress. Addition and subtraction within 10 required muscle memory, memorization, and fluent reading. Recognition of characters was still 10 words a day, 30 words a day, 20 learned and 10 new ones, and so on, day after day. Three Character Classic mixed with Zeng Guang Xian Wen was recited a little every day.

As usual, Shen Lianxin told them the Thirty-Six Stratagems before going to bed. "Today, I will tell you the second of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, Besiege Wei to Save Zhao. In 354 BC, Pang Juan, a general of the State of Wei, was ordered to attack Handan, the capital of Zhao. Handan was in danger, and Zhao hurriedly asked Qi for help. King Wei of Qi sent Tian Ji as a general and Sun Bin as a military advisor to lead troops to rescue Zhao. Sun Bin suggested to Tian Ji that now that Wei's elite troops have surrounded Handan, their country must be empty, with only old and weak soldiers left. We might as well attack Daliang, the capital of Wei. Pang Juan will definitely return to Daliang to help after receiving the news. By then, we can ambush them halfway, which will not only save Handan from danger, but also defeat them when they are tired. Tian Ji used Sun Bin's strategy and won a great victory. The Wei army was completely defeated and returned in defeat."

The children were very excited after hearing this. Gu Chengan waved his fist and said, "This plan is great. Sun Bin is really smart."
