Chapter 16: Sisters of the Clan
The daughter knew the shy expression, which made Su Ercheng very happy: "My family Qiqi is shy." β
Su Qiqi drooped his head: Daddy Su, I am almost twenty-one years old and don't know how to be shy, unless it is an iron wall. Forget it, as long as you can live happily, I'll pretend to be cute. God, am I considered to be entertaining relatives?
With the help of a half-grown man, the work was fast, and in only three days, the rice harvest was finished. Taking advantage of the efforts to turn the ground, Liu Sanniang took her to dry the grain at home, so as not to let Su Qiqi bask in the sun and move around more. This kind of parenting method of raising lazy people made her look forward to playing with Su Qiuyin. Unfortunately, at this time, the children of the peasant family are busy.
It was really boring, Su Qiqi found a branch and squatted under the pear tree, swept out a clean place, and drew it casually.
"Qiqi, what are you drawing?" Ji Wenchen came in from outside the door with his trousers pulled up.
Su Qiqiqi wiped the model he had drawn with great difficulty on the ground: "I didn't draw anything, I was just counting grasshoppers." β
Ji Wenchen smiled "poof": "Count ants? Seventy-seven will count? β
It seems that Ji Wenchen values counting more, and Su Qiqi has to pretend to be naΓ―ve: "I will, I can count to ten." β
"Will you write then?" Su Qiqi shook his head, this is not that she is lying, this is the era of the wrong trajectory after the Sui Dynasty. Traditional is not like traditional Chinese, seal book is not like seal book, she really can't recognize a word and write it @ one @ this @ read - novel xstxt.
Hearing this, Ji Wenchen threw down the grass in his hand and said, "You wait, Brother Wenchen will teach you to write in a while." There was no pen, ink, paper and inkstone at home, so we drew on the ground. When my brother and father go to work, will you practice calligraphy at home? β
Draw with branches?
That's good, where can poor families afford pen, ink, paper, and inkstone?
Su Qiqi, who was trying to learn to read and write, immediately became enthusiastic: "Brother Wenchen, you go to wash your feet first, and Qiqi will move a stool for you to get herbal tea." β
Respecting teachers and teaching is a good child, isn't it?
Ji Wenchen looked at the little junior brother's bullshit appearance and smiled: "Thank you, Qiqi." β
With something to do, life will be better, but Su Qiqi is not a seven-year-old child. Ji Wenchen taught her five words a day, and after learning to write, she secretly drew on the wall in the back room where no one paid attention, and wrote pinyin, and often went to review it. Every time Ji Wenchen assessed her, there was no time when she would write and read wrongly, and for a while Ji Wenchen felt that Su Qiqi was a natural reading material. So he secretly decided that if he earned money in the future, he must send Su Qiqi to the school to study.
Fortunately, Su Qiqi didn't know that Ji Wenchen had this idea, if she knew, she would be scared to pee! If you want to learn words, don't say pretend to be a genius, I'm afraid you'll pretend to be a fool.
It's finally time to plant rapeseed, and the family is busy again.
It was too easy to learn those words in one day, Ji Wenchen felt that she was really a Confucian and teachable, so she changed from five words a day to ten words. But it's just ten words, and it's not difficult for the genius Su Qiqi?
On this day, everyone was ready to plant rapeseed in the field, Liu Sanniang saw that the sun was not small, and she felt that it was very hard for her to read and write, so she was asked to stay at home to watch the chickens, saying that she should not let the chickens steal into the vegetable garden and spoil the vegetables.
But she is a twenty-one girl, and her role is to guard the vegetable garden? Su Qiqi was reluctant to stay at home to watch the chickens. Besides, what's so nice about just two hens? There was nothing for them to steal at home, the millet was all dried on the posts in the back room, and the doors of the vegetable garden were full of thorns.
Ji Wenchen thought that she was too bored at home alone, so she helped: "Master, let Qiqi go to the field to play, she is quite bored at home alone." Besides, when he goes to the field, I can test his handwriting. β
When Liu Sanniang heard this, she felt that the apprentice was thoughtful, so she took a small bamboo hat and put it on her head and said, "That's okay, my mother will bring you a small stool, and you can sit on the side and watch the birds." β
Well, look anyway. Watching chickens is also watching, and watching birds is also watching. After all, watching the birds is watching from the outside, and it's up to you whether you look at it or not, right?
The family picks the bucket, the basket of the basket, and the farm tool that carries the farm tools, as long as Su Qiqi, a strong laborer, carries a small bucket and prepares to pick up earthworms and come back to feed the chickens.
Su Qiqi had to comfort himself: A keg is also a bucket, it's not shameful than empty-handed, right?
Tian has already built a row, Su Ercheng is digging a pit in front, Liu Sanniang is putting seedlings in front, and Ji Wenchen is planting vegetables at the end.
Su Qiqi is really fine, this place is a bit dry, and there is not a single earthworm to be found. She had to carry a small bucket and carry water in the ditch next to her to water the rape.
After only a few buckets of water, Su Ercheng looked at her tired little face and said reluctantly: "Qiqi, Daddy will come to water in a while, you go over there and sit for a while, don't get tired." β
Su Qiqi is an ADHD person in his bones, where is he willing to sit on the edge of the field like a fool and watch the scenery? Besides, the weather is not hot now, proper exercise can be good for health, and she still wants to get her black belt skills back!
So she shook the bucket in her hand and said, "Daddy, this bucket of water is very light, Qiqi can carry it with one hand." I'm not going to get tired. The half basket of ears of grain I picked up that day didn't tire me, I gave the ears of grain to our family and ate a few bunches of reeds, and the eggs it laid this morning were much bigger than last day! β
Su Ercheng laughed when he heard "haha", and Ji Wenchen also laughed: "Qiqi, does it really have such a good effect?" Luhua immediately gave birth to big eggs after eating a few bunches of grains, and it seems that our family Qiqi has the ability! β
Well, count her on cuteness. However, if she can make everyone happy, she is worth it, isn't it? Su Qiqi continued her great business of watering vegetables, too lazy to be a child and be spoiled by adults.
The happy appearance of the family made Su Mingshan on the side very envious: "Brother Eryong, your Qiqi is really a good boy!" I'm only a few years old, so I know I want to help you work! Like those in my house, alas... If you don't scream or scold, where can you start? Compared with Xiao Qi, it's too far behind. β
Su Qiqi smiled and didn't answer, she became someone else's child again.
Su Qiqi was happy, but some people were unhappy: "Dad, you only praise others!" Don't you see I'm helping you prepare the land? β
Su Mingshan saw that his third sister was so impolite, and immediately laughed and scolded her: "Third sister, how old are you?" All of them are fifteen years old! Are you still compared to the seven-year-old Qiqi? What a goofy girl! Alas, how will you marry someone in the future! β
Another daughter, Su Ermei, immediately said when she heard this: "Dad, what are you worried about?" The third sister is a stupid, so let's find her a stupid one to marry! β
Su Mingshan was really angry now, he glared and scolded Second Sister Su: "If both of them are stupid, how will they live in the future?" I don't think you're smart! Idiot! β
Second Sister Su had a seizure!
