"I asked you to collect firewood but you climbed up a tree to pick pine cones? You bastard, have you ever been so lazy that you've been tearing off the roof of a house for three days? This is outrageous and you're still——"

“Ah!! Mother, my dear mother!! Let go of my ears!! Woo woo woo, I was wrong!!!”

Guangdan tried hard to move his ear out of his mother's claws while screaming and begging for mercy.

But once Fang Cuihua took action, everyone in the family remained silent, and no one was willing to save him from the dire straits!

"Oh, if I don't break your legs, do you still think I'm your mother? You don't study hard, and you don't work hard!!!"

Fang Cuihua grabbed Guangdan's ear and walked him around the small yard before she stopped.

This made Guangdan shrink his head and cry in the corner. He was really miserable!

No matter how miserable it is, the pine cones still need to be peeled!

I thought that I would pick up my pony stool and peel pine cones in the yard before it got dark.

Guangdan, who was not strong enough, took a stone and smashed it directly on the pine cone. When it broke open, he used his lucky little hands to pull out the pine nuts from it.

Erya was helping her grandmother light the fire in the kitchen while curiously craning her neck to look outside.

"Second brother, what are you doing?" When Goumaoer saw his aunt going out with a hoe on her back, he walked over, squatted down and started digging the pit.

Seeing that he was about to pee and play in the mud, Guangdaner shuddered immediately.

"If you dare to pee here, I will sell you to the wild wolves in the mountains while you sleep at night!"

Guangdan waved his little fists viciously, with an attitude that said "if you dare to pee, I will fight you to the death".

Gou Mao'er was so scared that his little hands trembled, then he rubbed them on Guangdan'er a few times as if nothing had happened, and then started to look for pine nuts with the broken pine cones in a pretentious manner.

"Haha, you kid? Are you afraid of getting your hands and clothes dirty when playing with mud?" Guangdan smiled dangerously. At this moment, Goumao'er seemed to have become smaller and smaller!

Don't bother with this little brat. Even though Goumao'er is only five years old, he is quite smart. From Guangdan's point of view, this kid doesn't look like his uncle and aunt.

He is somewhat like my uncle in terms of cleverness.

Goudaner is a pure precocious one, but Goumaoer is a smart kid. There is a big difference between the two, but one thing is certain is that Goumaoer is more interesting.

After all, he doesn't dare to play with the dog eggs! !

He is truly a humble brother!!!

"Brother, what are you going to do with this? Are you going to sell it for money?" Goudan asked curiously while holding Yaya's hand, who was addicted to learning to walk.

"Ah? No, this is what I eat. When I fry it, I'll give you some to try!" Guangdan said as he swished his hands in the winnowing basket filled with pine nuts.

Look, this is all the kingdom he built—oh no, pine nuts!!

"Won't this cause toothache?" Goudan squatted down and pulled out the pine nuts that Yaya was putting into her mouth from her palm, and asked with some doubt.

"Hehe, this depends on my Lin Guangdan's unique secret technique!!! It's the only one of its kind!!! It requires some skills, don't you know?"

Looking at his brother shaking his head, Goudan narrowed his eyes doubtfully. What other tricks does his brother have?

It was not until noon the next day, when Goudan saw Guangdan and Wumao busy like a top in the yard, that he realized that perhaps his brother, who was not very smart before, really did have something in his brain?

"Why put it in the water?"

Wumao looked at his friend pouring pine nuts into the water in a wooden basin and asked with a puzzled look on his little black face.

"Look, the ones that float up are deflated and don't have pine nuts inside." Guangdan said as he used a bamboo colander in the kitchen to scoop out the ones that floated up from the water in the wooden basin.

"Wow, it's true!! How did you know that?!" Wumaoer suddenly became excited as if he knew something great, and asked with his big eyes blinking.

"You know it just by thinking about it? How come you don't know? Goudan, you know it too, right?" Guangdan said maliciously when he saw the future young scholar standing by with his chin in his hand and watching.

Gou Daner pursed his lips, then said seriously: "I don't know, my second brother is really smart. If he studies hard, he will definitely -"

"Stop! Being smart and being able to read are two different things, and some people get a headache when they read!!"

Guangdaner felt that this little brother was always on the way to encourage people to study, or in the process of encouraging people to study.

After glancing at his brother, Gou'er continued to remain silent, staring at the clay stove that was bubbling with hot water without blinking.

Guangdan poured the boiling water directly into the wooden basin, and half of the basin's pine nuts immediately began to steam.

"What is this for?" Wumao stretched his neck like a curious baby.

Guangdan frowned and thought seriously for a moment, then said nonchalantly, "I think the shells of the pine nuts are too hard. I'll soak them to soften them."

That's the logic. Could it be that he wanted Songzi to speak by saying this?

After all, I don’t know whether I can open my mouth yet, but that’s how it is done from the video. The steps are correct, and the next step is a matter of timing!

While Songzi was taking a hot water bath, Guangdan brought a small pot and a bamboo spoon from the kitchen with a flattering look on his face.

Next, start to slowly fry the pine nuts over low heat.

Seeing him frying little by little, Goudan, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but say, "It will probably take you several days to fry like this."

"Hehe, if I succeed, you will be responsible for coaxing grandma. Let's go to the kitchen to get a big pot and ask big brother to cook it. It will definitely be quick!" Guangdan grinned with a flattering look on his face.

This person, when he should bow his head, he bows his head, when he should ask for help, he asks for help!!

After all, if you really rely on this small pot and small clay stove, it will take forever!

"Okay, but you have to take me with you next time."

Goudan's words immediately made Guangdan and Wumao, who were working hard nearby, stop what they were doing.

"Don't stop, or you'll burn!" Gou'er kindly reminded.

"Ahem, that, that Goudan, you are different from the rest of us. This is not something you should play with. You will be taking the exam to become a Tongsheng in a few years! You have to study!"

Guangdaner advised tremblingly and earnestly that if Goudan was led astray by him, it would be a very, very immoral thing!!!

This absolutely cannot happen!!!

He is the protagonist of the imperial examination novel, the imperial examination!!

"It will take another ten years to become a student, and it's still a long time. I still have some time to play." Goudan explained with some amusement when he saw his second brother's frightened look on his face.

"Don't do that, the teacher will scold us if you do that! Ahem, Lin Wumao, Lin Guangdan! Why are you two disturbing Lin Xingzhi from studying?"

Wumao'er imitated the voice in a rough manner, and the whole yard was suddenly filled with laughter.
