After Xiao Fubao's life was stolen, she became the favorite of the Beijing group

Originally, Gu Yun only had to be beaten by his father, but after this was said, it immediately became a mixed doubles match between men and women.

Chen Chunhua picked up the broom beside her and hit Gu Yun: "You are useless even if I give you a chance! I really raised you in vain. You know how to be lazy all day long and can't even learn to enjoy life!"

Gu Yun was the most stubborn person in his body. Even at this time, he still didn't forget to talk back: "Mom, this blessing is given to you, do you want it?"

Chen Chunhua was so angry that her nose was about to be crooked.

Not only did Gu Yun not cherish it, but he also stuffed the branch into his sister's hand.

"You learn, and you will learn from now on. Learn all the words that big brother doesn't want to recognize." Gu Yun said and was about to run.

But he was only fourteen years old after all, and was no match for his father, Gu Laoda. He ran a few steps before he was picked up and pressed to kneel in front of the sand table.

Gu Mingda certainly understood the thoughts of Gu Laoda and his wife. It was a good thing for his son to learn a few more words for free. Even though his two nephews were obviously not good enough for the imperial examination, Gu Mingda never refused. Instead, he deliberately made two sets of teaching plans for them.

Even if his two nieces also learned to read, Gu Mingda would probably not refuse. Unfortunately, Gu Laoda and his wife were obviously unwilling to waste so much time on their daughters.

Gu Daya had just got a nice name, and was pulled back to her room by her mother to sew clothes. Chen Chunhua kept muttering: "Girls will go to other people's homes sooner or later. Instead of wasting time on learning to read, it's better to learn a few more dishes so that you can be liked by your mother-in-law when you go to her husband's house in the future."

Before leaving, Gu Daya glanced at Niuniu and couldn't help complaining: "Why am I not the daughter of my second uncle? Even his adopted daughter has the opportunity to learn to read!"

Hearing this, Chen Chunhua's anger rose up and she couldn't help but slapped her on the spot.

Gu Daya looked at Chen Chunhua with disbelief in her eyes.

In fact, Chen Chunhua regretted it right after the beating. Although she valued her son, she also felt sorry for her daughter. She had never beaten Daya before.

Chen Chunhua was still stubborn and scolded: "You are really rebellious. I gave birth to you with great difficulty, but I made a mistake. If you really want to be someone's daughter, then go ahead and see if they want you!"

Gu Daya was beaten in front of everyone. She felt extremely embarrassed at this time. She didn't mention reading and literacy anymore. She covered her face and cried and ran into the woodshed next to her, and closed the dilapidated door of the woodshed with force.

Gu Yun was about to say something when Chen Chunhua scolded him, "Go learn your handwriting. If it weren't for you, there wouldn't be so many troubles!"

Gu Yun shrank his neck in fear. He knew that his mother was in a rage again. She would kick any dog ​​​​that passed by and scold anyone who provoked her. He could only swallow what he wanted to say and honestly traced the word "Xi" on the sand table with a pen.

Niuniu looked at the closed firewood room door, turned around, and also imitated Gu Yun to write on the sand table.

But she was small and short, and the posture of holding the branch looked weird.

"Hold the branch like this."

Gu Yan approached Niuniu at some point, stretched out his hand, and demonstrated to Niuniu.

Although he was not very old, his fingers were slender and white. The sun fell on him, giving him a golden halo.

Niuniu stretched out her little hand and tried to imitate Gu Yan's pen-holding posture, but she could never learn the essence.

Gu Yan looked at the little girl's slightly clumsy appearance, chuckled, and covered her little hand with his right hand to help her hold the branch. He quickly wrote two words on the sand table in front of him: Gu Xi.

"This is your name, Gu Xi." Gu Yan explained.

Niuniu looked at the two words carefully for several times, muttering them softly, as if she wanted to deeply engrave the two words in her mind.

Gu Mingda did not just start teaching the children to read and write. In fact, everyone in the family had a different progress. After teaching a few common characters, he began to teach the Four Books and Five Classics. This time, his student was actually only Gu Yan.

This kind of threshold course was incomprehensible to others. Gu Yun and Gu Jin's eyes began to circle, and their attention could not help but fall to other places.

On the contrary, Niuniu, although she did not understand the later courses, still looked extremely serious, looking at Gu Mingda with a pair of big eyes.

After finally finishing the afternoon teaching, Gu Yun and Gu Jin immediately cheered and ran out of the yard as if escaping.

Gu Yan had many questions in his mind, so he grabbed Gu Mingda and asked him questions.

Zhang Yunniang had three sons. The eldest, Gu Yan, was thirteen years old this year. He studied very hard. If he hadn't been in poor health, he would have been able to take the Tongsheng exam long ago. The second, Gu Xian, was eleven years old this year, but unfortunately he was abducted and sold very early and his whereabouts are still unknown. The third, Gu Zhao, was six years old this year, only one year older than Niu Niu. His learning progress was similar to Niu Niu's.

Gu Zhao was not as studious as his brother. At this time, he came to Niu Niu and said like offering a treasure: "Niu Niu, look, what is this?"

He opened his palm, and inside was a green caterpillar.

Niu Niu was almost scared to tears when she saw this scene. She was most afraid of insects. This kind of soft-bodied creature, although small in size, makes people want to be petrified at the sight of it.

"I caught this with great difficulty. I have kept it for several days. Isn't it very beautiful?" The six-year-old Gu Zhao asked proudly.

Niu Niu didn't know how to answer, she just wanted to stay away from the thing.

He even put his hand in front of Niu Niu and said, "Mom said you will be my sister in the future. I can't bear to play with ordinary people. I'll give it to you..."

Gu Zhao wanted to give it as a gift to his new "sister", but he felt reluctant when he said it, so he changed his words and said, "I agree that you can touch it. Come on, see if it likes you."

Although Niu Niu was very afraid of the bug, she trembled and stretched out her hand under Gu Zhao's repeated urging.

"Ouch, it hurts!"

Gu Zhao tilted his head and cried out. When he saw Zhang Yunniang pinching his ear, he begged for mercy: "Mom, please be gentle! Be gentle!"

Zhang Yunniang raised her eyebrows and said: "You little bastard, you are scaring people with caterpillars again, let me see how I will deal with you!"

Gu Zhao explained: "This is not scary, this is my baby, I am good to my sister, so I let her touch it!"

Zhang Yunniang glared at her youngest son, but she didn't pull his ear too hard. Instead, she hugged Niuniu, who was standing there stupidly, and asked: "Niuniu, are you afraid? Your third brother dared to bully you, I will punish him in a while!"

When Gu Zhao heard this, he was so anxious that he winked at Niuniu.

Niuniu looked up at Zhang Yunniang and said seriously: "Mom, the third brother didn't bully me, he just wanted to play with me."

Although playing with insects is very scary and difficult for ordinary people to accept, Niuniu can feel that Gu Zhao has no ill intentions.

Seeing that Niuniu really thought so, Zhang Yunniang did not hold on to the matter anymore, but just told Gu Zhao: "Play with the bugs by yourself, but don't bring your sister into the pit."

There is a lot of work for the country people, and Zhang Yunniang can't keep watching the children all the time.

After Gu Zhao escaped from the clutches of his mother, he said to Niuniu very loyally: "You helped me this time, I will give you this bug."

Niuniu didn't dare to take it, she waved her hand quickly.

After Gu Zhao was sure that she really didn't want it, he took the precious bug away with great care.

Friendship between children is always established quickly. Gu Zhao already regarded his new sister as a good friend in his heart. Seeing that Niuniu seemed unhappy, he asked: "Are you hungry?"

In the mind of Gu Zhao, being hungry and his mother not letting him play with bugs are the only two sad things in the world.

Niuniu shook her head and whispered: "Third brother, do you know how to make a sand table?"
