The happy little days of the Ye family

The grocery store is not far from the academy. It only takes half a quarter of an hour to walk.

However, Ye Donglin thought that he was taking three little monkeys alone and was afraid that they would run around on the road, so he simply drove a donkey cart to pick them up.

On the way to the grocery store, Ye Donglin turned back and looked at the little guys chatting.

"How do you feel in the academy today? Is studying fun?"

Xiao Qi, who is as big as a kid, raised her chubby little face and curled her lips:

"It's just so-so. I have a lot of friends. I just memorize articles all day and don't have time to play."

"The Master is so majestic, it's a bit scary to look at him." Little Stone also said in a low voice.

The smile on Ye Donglin's face did not change, and he happily asked again: "Then what did you learn today?"

Xiao Qi counted on her fingers and obediently told him what she had learned today:

"I have memorized the first eight sentences of the Three Character Classic, recognized all the words in the article, and Master also taught us how to hold a pen and write. I can already write the first sentence!"

The little guy puffed out his chest and raised his head high, looking at Ye Donglin with a showy face:

"Master Ming also praised me and Chenchen. Xiao Shitou also performed well. Master Ming answered every question."

The little guy was shaking his head in excitement. If there was a tail behind him, it would probably be raised to the sky.

Today, after being praised by the master, Chenchen on the side also showed a happy smile, his little head was raised high unconsciously, and his face was full of proud expressions.

Xiao Shitou felt that his performance was not good enough, and secretly thought in his heart: He would have to memorize the article a few more times when he went back, and strive to get the master's praise tomorrow.

Ye Donglin looked at the little guy with a smile on his face and said in an exaggerated tone, "It's so awesome. Then recite the article you learned today to daddy."

"Okay, this won't trouble me."

Xiao Qi was very happy at this time and opened her mouth:

"When a man is born, his nature is good... If you teach your five sons, they will all become famous. If you don't teach them, it is the fault of the father... Be close to teachers and friends, and learn etiquette."

"You're a good boy, you're all right."

Ye Donglin rubbed the little hair on the head of the little guy, with pride and pride in his tone.

"Of course, you don't even want to see who I am." Xiao Qi put her hands on her hips, looking very arrogant.

Xiao Qi's words somewhat deserved a beating, but Ye Donglin thought that he had just started school and was very energetic at this time, so he didn't dissuade him and praised him a few more words with a smile on his face.

After praising his son, Ye Donglin looked at the two little guys beside him and said, "Xiao Shitou, Chenchen, you should memorize it too."

Xiao Shitou: "When people are born, their nature is good. Their natures are similar, but their habits are far apart..."

Chenchen: "...I am the son of a man, Fang Shaoshi. I am close to my teachers and friends, and learn etiquette."

When they returned to the grocery store, the three little guys had recited all the articles they learned today.

Ye Donglin has copied many copies of "The Three Character Classic" and sold them in grocery stores, so he has memorized the articles in it very well.

Seeing the three little guys memorizing it every time, their faces were filled with joy.

When he looked at Xiao Qi, his eyes softened a bit.

Not bad, that little brat Xiao Qi seems to have some talent.

Ye Donglin even thought secretly that when the little ones got better at calligraphy, he would let them come over after class and copy enlightening books such as "Three Character Classic", "Thousand Character Classic" and "Hundred Family Surnames".

You can practice calligraphy, memorize articles more firmly, and make money. It's three birds with one stone.

"I'm just too smart."

The three little guys who were bounding towards the grocery store suddenly felt a chill behind them.

Little Shitou touched his chin and muttered naively: "Strange, is the wind blowing?"

Back at the grocery store, Ye Donglin grabbed a handful of candy from the counter and took it out with a smile:

"You did a good job today, come on, come on, two candies for each person."

"Thank you dad!"

"Thank you, cousin!"

"Thank you uncle!"

The three little guys were praised just now, and now they have sweets to eat. They are as happy as if they were celebrating the New Year.

Seeing these little guys eating all the candies, Ye Donglin asked again with a smile:

"What after-school tasks did Mr. Akira assign?"

Xiao Qi and Chen Chen paused vigilantly, and then immediately winked at Xiao Shitou. Unexpectedly, the brothers' eyes almost cramped, and this guy didn't understand at all.

"The Master told us to memorize the article we learned today and memorize the words clearly. There will be a spot check tomorrow. If we fail, we will get slapped on the palm. In addition, we must write the first sentence 20 times."

The little guy very obediently said exactly what Master Ming said.

On the side, Xiao Qi and Chen Chen looked at him with sad expressions on their faces.

"Okay, you've eaten the candy, now hurry up and study. First, read the article you just memorized 10 times in front of the book, read it slowly, memorize the words in it, and then write the first sentence 20 all over."

Ye Donglin had a smile on his face, but turned around and took out a ruler of the same style as Master Ming.

"My dad is so scary."

Xiao Qi shuddered when she looked at the ruler in his hand, and Chenchen and Xiao Shitou on the side were also trembling.

Then the three fellow sufferers were driven to a small room inside by Ye Donglin, where they were asked to read and practice calligraphy.

Before going out, Ye Donglin specially reminded: "Don't think about being lazy, I can hear it from outside."

"Dad, you are so annoying, so annoying."

The two friends on the side were angry but dared not speak.

Ye Donglin rolled his eyes at him, "Stop talking nonsense and study quickly."

Although these little guys were dissatisfied, they still read and read obediently.

Not to mention that they had already finished the candy, the big ruler alone was scary enough.

"When humans are born, their nature is good. Their natures are similar, but their habits are far apart..."

Soon, the crisp sound of reading could be heard in the grocery store. Pedestrians passing by the door couldn't help but look inside curiously.

Ye Donglin was counting for them outside. When he read it for the tenth time, he got up and went to the shelf to get a brand new ocean bowl, and filled it with a large bowl of water.

After memorizing the article, the three little guys dipped their writing brushes in water and wrote on the table painfully.

Before long, the entire table was covered with large characters.

Xiao Qi looked at the table, rolled his eyes twice, and then shouted loudly:

"Dad, dad, the table is already full and there is no room to write!"

The big stone looked confused. When it was full, couldn't you just stack it on top and continue writing?

Chenchen gave him a thumbs up with praise, "Brother, you are so smart."

Just when the brothers thought they could finally rest, Ye Donglin came in with a smile and a ruler.

"It's okay. There's still a lot of space on the ground. Just squat on the ground and write."

Xiaoqi: "..."

Chenchen: "..."

But Xiao Shitou was still writing obediently. He looked up at Ye Donglin and said softly:

“It’s okay to write them stacked on top of each other on the table.”

Ye Donglin rubbed the little guy's little head and said, "Little Shitou is so good. I'll treat you to something delicious after I finish writing the big characters later."

After hearing that there was something delicious, Xiaoqi and Chenchen cheered up and continued to write the remaining 10 large characters.

As for the delicious food Ye Donglin said, he didn't break his promise.

When he went back, he gave the few pastries leftover from today's sale to these little guys.

On the way back, Xiao Qi looked at the pastries and then subconsciously remembered that he also had these pastries at home. He could eat as much as he wanted. What a reward.

Chenchen rolled her eyes at him. He had already thought that only he and Xiao Shitou were so stupid.

"Dad, you are so bad." Xiao Qi was so angry that he decided not to pay attention to his father tonight.

Ye Donglin smiled proudly and said, "You little brat, you still want to fight with me. These little ideas of yours are all leftover from my play in the early years."

"Humph!"
