Sheng Yao led the little guy back to his study, he went to get the pastries he brought back from the county, and put a few oiled paper bags in front of Xiaodouding.

"Choose one." Sheng Yao thought of the child's sensitivity and precocity, so he endured a sore throat and added, "Dinner will be served soon."

Xiao Douding looked at him with a raised face, first smiled, then kept his head up and closed his eyes and poked, "This!"

Sheng Yao took apart what he was referring to. Inside was Bazhen Cake, which was made from eight kinds of ingredients that are both medicinal and edible. Children with weak spleen and stomach have a nourishing effect. Eating it for a long time can improve children's sallowness and emaciation.

After Xiao Douding took a piece of Bazhen Cake and ate it, Sheng Yao asked: "Ms. Fang said that you don't have a name, but only knows that your surname is Qiao. Is that true?"

Xiaodouding blinked, thought for a while, and hummed lightly.

Sheng Yao sat down opposite him, pondered for a moment, and said in a low voice: "When my mother passed away, I was still a baby. I only learned from my eldest sister after I remembered that my mother has always taught my eldest sister to be educated and reasonable, and I hope that in the future I will marry you." That knowledgeable and sensible..."

Xiao Douding was stunned, and looked at Sheng Yao uneasily. He still remembered the dispute between Sheng Yao and his aunt, and his brother disliked him...

If it was before today, he didn't care, as long as he could have a stutter and a place to sleep, he would be satisfied, and when he was old enough to be a waiter, he would work as a waiter in other people's shops to earn money to thank the Sheng family for their kindness in raising them.

But today, after being thrown into the forest, he thought he was going to be snatched away by wolves when it was dark. It was his elder brother who found him, hugged him to listen to his explanation, carried him down the mountain, and admonished Sheng Yan to stand up for him.

He blankly looked at the bamboo plate beside him, a small mountain was piled up by the bright red thorn bubbles, which proved that it was really his brother who carried him back!

Sheng Yao also continued: "You lost your father when you were young, you are well-behaved, but you are too precocious, and now you are living under someone else's fence. With your temperament, everything will be compromised."

When Xiao Douding heard this, his heart beat violently, and he began to look forward to it inexplicably.

"But since I brought you back, I want you to be comfortable in my Sheng family. So, I named you Zhishu, I hope this name can let you know how to live comfortably for the rest of your life."

"Do you want it?" Sheng Yao himself is only a 14-year-old boy. He knows that he has limited knowledge, and he only remembers to be humble after saying it, so he asked Xiao Douding for his opinion.

"Zhi... Shu..." Xiao Douding's eyes widened, how could he live comfortably?

Sheng Yao stood up and went to sit down at the desk, took a pen and wrote "Qiao Zhishu" in large characters on the blank paper, before the ink was dry, he beckoned to Xiaodouding.

Xiao Douding ran over, was picked up by him and placed on his lap, pointed to the big characters and explained:

"Joe, your last name."

"Knowledge is also the same as wisdom, which means wisdom. But literally, it means knowing and understanding."

"Comfortable, comfortable and comfortable."

Xiao Douding almost swallowed this piece of paper and these three big characters, but he still didn't recognize it... But he knew from his brother's analysis that his name is very good, very comfortable, and very knowledgeable.

Xiaodouding nodded repeatedly, "My name is Qiao, Zhi, and Shu."

"Yeah." Sheng Yao looked down at the child in his arms, and whispered to himself: "You are already very sensible, but I don't want you to be too sensible. In the future, you should remember that everything should not be wronged and forced yourself, and you must know how to feel comfortable How come."

If Xiaodouding hadn't been so precocious and sensible, he wouldn't have said this to Xiaodouding like this, it varies from person to person.

Qiao Zhishu raised his head and looked at Sheng Yao, his eyes were already red, he had a name, and the person who named him loved him as much as his mother, and hoped that he would live a comfortable life.

Sheng Yao didn't want the child to cry again, so he shook his legs, making the child's hair tremble wildly.He raised his hand and squeezed his throat, and said uncomfortably: "Pour a cup of tea for brother, then go play by yourself."

"Okay." Qiao Zhishu sniffed, slipped off the ground, ran to the table next to the wall and poured Sheng Yao a full cup of tea.

At this time, Sheng Xue also came over to ask for dinner.

After Sheng Yao finished drinking the water, he led Qiao Zhishu to the front hall, and announced in front of everyone in the Sheng family that Xiao Douding had a name.

It's called Qiao Zhishu.

But he is the only one who calls people 'Zhishu', and the elders of Sheng's parents are used to calling him 'Qiao'er'.

**

Sheng Yao didn't have the ability to break the family rules, so Qiao Zhishu followed Sheng Xue to the side hall for dinner, and he still sat beside Fang He.

Fang He served him a bowl of millet rice, patted his little hand and said, "What do you want to eat, tell auntie, auntie knows you are lost, if Yan'er dares to pull you up the mountain in the future, auntie will beat him with a stick."

Fang He only figured it out after hearing what his sister-in-law said. Indeed, if he was going to run, he ran early. The little guy broke his head and ran to the field to help her find the head of the house. It was such a good time to run away. , Go up the mountain and run into the wolf's den?

When the third aunt heard this, she said again, "Don't you have to give me a beating? It's really fun! I'm only twelve, and I dare to take my younger brothers up the mountain to play hide-and-seek."

Fang He stopped laughing and glanced at the three younger siblings, "Yeah, Yan'er is already twelve, and he has stopped playing hide-and-seek for a long time. Isn't he pampering his younger brothers?"

Afraid of a quarrel, the second-fang family and the fourth-fang family hurriedly smoothed things over.

After dinner, Qiao Zhishu helped carry the plates and bowls as usual, and he went to grandma's yard after he was done. His brother told him to go back to him after dinner.

As soon as he got out of the kitchen, Sheng Xue pulled him.

"Qiaoer, tell my sister the truth, why are you and elder brother so close?" Sheng Xue wanted to know why there was a change in this life.

Qiao Zhishu was at a loss, honestly shook his head and said, "Sister, I don't know."

"So what have you been doing in Grandma's yard?"

"Fly a dragonfly with my brother." Qiao Zhishu answered truthfully.

Thinking of her younger brother, Sheng Xue understood a little bit. It seems that this big brother Sheng Yao really loves his younger brother. After all, he lives in the same courtyard.

"Okay." Sheng Xue felt that she had already got the answer, so she stopped chasing after her and told Qiao Zhishu, "I picked up a lot of chestnuts today, you wake up tomorrow and help me peel and shell them. Make chestnut cakes for Ganger to eat."

"Well, good!" Qiao Zhishu nodded, seeing that Sheng Xue hadn't finished speaking and was still staring at her, so she waited obediently.

After careful consideration, Sheng Xue said to Qiao Zhishu: "Gang'er's medicine is very expensive, I want to earn money, Qiaoer, you are hardworking, can you help me?"

Qiao Zhishu thought it was just a matter of burning the fire, pounding bean paste or something, so he naturally nodded in agreement.

Sheng Xue pursed her lips and smiled, revealing a 'loving' smile that a little girl shouldn't have, "Good boy, go to sleep, you've been tired all day, just follow my orders from now on."

"Yes." Qiao Zhishu nodded, he was very willing to help the Sheng family.

Back in grandma's yard, Sheng Yao led him to move his small bamboo bed into his own room. There was no other room in Mrs. Sheng's yard, and he didn't want Qiao Zhishu to sleep in the utility room either.

Qiao Zhishu cried all day and couldn't open his eyes long ago. When Sheng Yao came back from the shower, he was already curled up on the bamboo bed and fell unconscious.Sheng Yao cut off the oil lamp and went back to his study to continue studying hard.

**

The next day, when Qiao Zhishu woke up, he felt his eyelids tense. Seeing that Sheng Yao's bed was empty, he didn't know the time, so he quickly put on his cloth shoes and ran out.

Sheng Yao was wiping his face in the yard, when he saw Qiao Zhishu running out with his hair loose, with a flustered expression on his face, he said hello, "Why are you in such a panic when you get up together?"

Qiao Zhishu ran over and tried to open his eyes wide, "Brother, what time is it?"

Seeing that his eyelids were so swollen that he couldn't see the crease, Sheng Yao wrung out the handkerchief in his hand, and gently covered Qiao Zhishu's eyes, "It's still early, does it hurt?"

Qiao Zhishu raised his hand to carefully hold Sheng Yao's wrist, and replied softly, "Brother, I can't open my eyes anymore."

"Don't cry in the future, you'll be blind if you cry too much."

"Ah?" Qiao Zhishu was frightened, and squeezed Sheng Yao's wrist tightly, telling herself to hold back her tears in the future, if she is blind, she will be ruined.

"Hold it yourself."

Sheng Yao asked Qiao Zhishu to cover his eyes, and he picked up the wooden basin to refill the cold spring water for the child to wash his face.

After washing his face and rinsing his mouth, Qiao Zhishu went to the study and told Sheng Yao that he was going to help Sheng Xue.

Sheng Yao agreed, and originally wanted to say don't force it, don't work hard, but thinking of the child's sincerity, he changed his words, "Yes, but come back after lunch every day."

"Zhishu, I will teach you calligraphy, but in the future I will always have to go back to the county to study. Then you must be conscious, go back to your room every afternoon to meditate, and don't waste it."

Qiao Zhishu's eyes lit up as soon as he heard that he could read. If it weren't for his swollen eyes, he would have stared at the boss, so he agreed crisply, "Okay! Zhishu can read!"

However, Qiao Zhishu was surprised, "What does meditation mean?"

"Just lying in a daze."

"Ah?" Qiao Zhishu held the desk with his little hand, stood on tiptoe with his strength, and leaned closer to look at Sheng Yao's face, what does brother mean?

Sheng Yao squeezed his throat, bullied the child who never went to a private school, and made up: "I examine myself three times a day."

Isn't he afraid that Qiao Zhishu is too honest and will tire him out?

Qiao Zhi Shulin was still thinking when he went out, learning is really something that he can't understand, and there are still people who study in a daze.

**

I went to find Shengxue, but before Shengxue got up, let him peel the chestnuts by himself in the yard through the window.

Qiao Zhishu went to the yard to empty the chestnuts out of the basket, then moved a small bamboo stool, and knocked the burrs on the outside of the chestnuts with a small mallet.

The burrs are still blue, some have openings, and some are still round green thorn balls, but after being hit twice with a small mallet, they split open, revealing the brown chestnut inside.

When Sheng Xue finished washing and came out, half of the whole basket of chestnuts had been peeled off.

The two of them peeled together, and before the heat got hot, they peeled out a basket of furry chestnuts, and swept the hairballs to the corner of the yard to pile them up, and when they dried, they could be used as firewood.

"Okay, peel the skin after cooking. Mother is going to cook breakfast. Joe, let's help."

Qiao Zhishu nodded and followed behind her sister's buttocks.

……

Qiao Zhishu didn't know until the chestnut cake was out of the pan that Sheng Xue asked him for help, not really asking him to help, but asking him to ask his brother for help.
