The happy little days of the Ye family

The days passed by, and in the blink of an eye, the three brothers had been studying at the Li family private school for two months.

In two months, the three little guys have studied the entire "Three Character Classic".

I basically recognize all the characters above, but learning calligraphy is not something that can be achieved overnight.

After two months of learning, and with Ye Donglin running a small stove in private every day, the three little guys could barely write correctly.

In Ye Donglin's opinion, the handwriting of the three little guys is now comparable to Wang Chunyu's.

It has neither arms nor legs missing, and you can barely recognize the character, but it has nothing to do with being pretty.

However, learning calligraphy is not the same as memorizing words, you can only practice slowly.

In this monthly exam, the five people who were praised by the teacher were still Chenchen, Xiaoqi, Xiaoshitou, Yangshu and Chen Lichun.

Diligence can make up for lack of talent. In terms of handwriting, the best students in the class are Chen Lichun and Xiao Shitou.

After the monthly exam, the two received a lot of praise from the teacher, which made the two little guys feel a little embarrassed.

Chenchen and Yang Shu were also praised by Master for their spirituality, but they were still too young, lacked strength, and their handwriting was soft.

As for Xiaoqi, she is smart but lacks patience. Every time she studies for a while, she likes to play with her hair, twist her waist, and make small movements all the time.

Although I was praised, I also received a lot of criticism.

At this time, Xiao Qi felt very aggrieved. His handwriting was obviously good and he was praised. Why did he spoil the fun at this time? The teacher was really annoying.

However, the little fellow was angry but dared not speak out, and could only secretly complain in his heart. After being looked at by the teacher, he quickly lowered his head guiltily.

Akiko is just too cruel (*?????).

Before the holiday, Master Ming said a lot of words to encourage the little ones to make progress, but everyone was listless and their minds were nowhere to be found.

As soon as the master left, the listless little guys all ran out in high spirits carrying their things.

Xiaoqi, who was eager to return home, packed her things early.

The little guy was about to run out when he saw Xiao Shitou pulling Chenchen and chatting with Yang Shu and Chen Lichun about their study plans for the next two days of rest.

Xiao Qi was speechless. He now loved and hated these young masters who loved to learn.

I really don’t understand why some people love learning so much?

However, the little guy is just a little playful, but he still knows how to behave properly. He usually complains, but he still obediently follows Xiao Shitou to learn.

Xiao Qi didn't dare to rush them, so she could only wait humbly and silently.

But I kept praying in my heart: Never have extra homework, never have extra homework...

The four of them chatted for a while before slowly walking towards the entrance.

Xiao Qi, who had waited until the flowers were about to wither, followed pitifully behind a few people.

There is no other reason. The little guy just heard what Xiao Shitou said just now. During the day and a half of rest, he must memorize the content he will learn in the next class in advance.

Since Master Ming adjusted the seats a month ago, Chen Lichun and Yang Shu have been very close to the three brothers. Seeing that they are studying very hard, Xiao Shitou pulled Xiao Qi and Chen Chen to study with them.

Therefore, Chen Lichun, Yang Shu and Xiaoqi played better and better.

As for Lin Biao and Zhu Zhixin, who didn't like studying, I felt that the study atmosphere was too strong among them, which made people unconsciously feel inferior and out of place.

After eating together for a few days, he left the small group on his own, but the two of them still got along well with Xiao Qi in private.

It's just that the two of them felt that, except for Xiao Qi, the others were too diligent.

Being with them felt like being in the presence of a few little teachers, which made the two people who didn't like studying feel very uncomfortable.

Xiao Qi studied with Xiao Shitou and the others, and had less time to play. Although the relationship with the two of them was good, it was not as close as at the beginning.

After Ye Donglin took the three little ones to the grocery store, he sent them to a small room to memorize articles and write by themselves.

Xiao Qi did not leave, but smiled and took out the brush he usually used for writing.

"Dad, the hair on the brush is almost falling out. Give me a new one."

The little guy felt that he had been working hard recently. His tone was full of pride and smugness, and his face said, "Praise me now." "Praise me now."

Ye Donglin took the brush from the little guy's hand. The rabbit hair on it was a little sparse, with only about 60% of the original amount left.

I thought to myself that after only two months of use, the brush fell out so quickly. It seems that the little guy is very diligent.

Ye Donglin rubbed the little guy's head with satisfaction, "Not bad, the little guy has grown up."

The corner of Ye Donglin's mouth rose crazily, without any thought that in order to save rice paper and ink, the three children mostly wrote on the table or the floor with water on them during practice. The brushes deteriorated quickly.

Seeing Xiaoqi's tail raised to the sky with joy, Chenchen, who was smiling cutely, took out his and Xiao Shitou's brushes.

I saw that the brush in Chenchen's hand was similar to Xiaoqi's, but the hairs on Xiaoshi's brush were almost all fallen off, and it was obvious that he was very diligent.

Looking at the brush in Xiao Shitou's hand, Ye Donglin glared at Xiao Qi, who was still smiling playfully, with disappointment.

The little guy reacted very quickly, and immediately pointed at the obviously unsociable brush with an angry look on his face and said:

"This brush is not well made. Dad, don't buy one from them next time."

Ye Donglin flicked the little guy's forehead angrily, "Ganggun, I'm lazy and don't like to study, and I still rely on my writing brush."

Thinking that these little guys had been studying in the academy for two months, he checked the four treasures of the study they usually used.

I didn't notice it before, but upon inspection I discovered that only the inkstone was still in good condition. The rest, such as the ink sticks and rice paper, were almost used up, and the brushes needed to be replaced.

Ye Donglin asked the three little guys to wait on the counter, and then brought two thick stacks of rice paper over.

"The ones on the left are cut badly, so they don't look that good, but they won't affect your writing. You can keep them for private practice."

"The ones on the right are normal rice papers. I use this to write the homework I usually give to Master."

Then, give each of the three little guys a cut of each type of rice paper.

Then he took out 6 more writing brushes, two for each person, and one ink stick for each person.

Chenchen took the things, thanked him obediently, and then asked:

"Uncle, how much are these things? I'll get them tomorrow."

The little stone on the side also looked at him obediently.

Ye Donglin happily rubbed the little guys' heads one by one, "You go study first, and I'll tell you after I've figured it out."

Then he drove the three little guys to the small room next door to study, and soon the childish and crisp sounds of reading could be heard from inside.

Ever since Xiaoqi and the others went to the academy to study, the sound of reading could be heard from the grocery store at this time every day, and people nearby have long been used to it.

Amidst the sound of reading, Ye Donglin took out his abacus and counted the four treasures of the study just now.

Two kinds of rice paper, the normal one is 60 characters per cut, the cut one is 50 characters per cut, the brush is 80 characters, and the ink stick is 180 characters, a total of 370 characters.

It sounds quite expensive, but these are just the four treasures of the study that are relatively common in grocery stores, and they are still based on the purchase price.

Based on the selling price, the price of these things should be doubled.

And this is just a small amount of money. When the little guys are older, they will have to buy various books on scientific examinations, which will be a bottomless pit.

Therefore, families with average financial conditions really cannot afford to support a scholar.

Looking at the abacus in his hand, Ye Donglin muttered softly:

"They say daughters are money-losing goods, but if you really count, boys are the ones who ruin the family."

Thinking of Xiaoqi, the prodigal son, who was ungrateful for what he had and just wanted to play all day, Ye Donglin wanted to hang him up and give him a good beating.
