Qi Xiaolong didn't understand what Qi Erfeng meant, but he still nodded firmly: "Hmm! I would do anything to study! ”

"In order to study, are you willing to cook and be a cook?" Qi Erfeng asked with a smile in his eyes.

"......" Qi Xiaolong's expression froze, and he didn't understand what Qi Erfeng meant, but he quickly reacted, "Second sister, are you playing with me?" Actually, you don't want me to spend money to study, do you? I thought it was ...... I thought ......"

Li Xiulan didn't understand at first, but now after listening to Qi Erfeng's words, she seemed to understand what Qi Erfeng meant, and she also said: "Xiaolong, don't make trouble, your second sister is for your good!" ”

Li Xiulan thought that Qi Erfeng wanted to use this method to dispel Qi Xiaolong's idea of wanting to study. After all, learning to cook and becoming a cook can be regarded as having a skill, and if you want to settle down in this society in the future, you can be regarded as having a way to live. But ...... to read? Judging from Li Xiulan's knowledge, for poor families like them who have no power, studying is just a waste of money.

Although Qi Xiaolong is still young, he can be regarded as a small laborer in the family, if he is allowed to study, then there will be one less laborer in the family, and as Qi Xiaolong gets older and older, the waste of this labor will become more and more serious.

For such an uneconomical thing, of course Li Xiulan is unwilling.

Qi Erfeng turned around and stopped her words: "Mother, don't talk first, let me talk to Xiaolong." ”

Of course, Qi Erfeng knew that Li Xiulan had misunderstood her, and with Li Xiulan's knowledge, it was impossible to know that Qi Erfeng actually wanted Qi Xiaolong to study, and besides, Qi Xiaolong could like to read, which should be a great joy for the Qi family.

Li Xiulan obediently didn't say anything, but just glared at Qi Xiaolong on the side, which meant threatening, and signaled Qi Xiaolong not to be ignorant, if Qi Erfeng was unhappy, they didn't know what life to rely on in the future.

Although it is good that they are living in the backyard of the Drunken Immortal Residence now, she and Qi Jinshan are both in this Drunken Immortal Residence and can't help much, and now Qi Dafeng doesn't know where to go, and the three of them can really only rely on Qi Erfeng's snort here.

If Qi Erfeng is unwilling one day and wants to drive the three of them out, then they will immediately have no place to live.

In this era, the idea of patriarchy is still very serious. Although Li Xiulan didn't do this, in her subconscious, she still felt that the daughter she married was the water that was spilled, and only Qi Xiaolong was the future support for her and Qi Jinshan.

Therefore, she very much hopes that Qi Xiaolong can learn a skill as soon as possible. It's just that her insight makes her unable to see clearly which skill is the best.

In Li Xiulan's opinion, of course, it is better to learn to cook, and in the future, it is possible to rely on Qi Erfeng's relationship to make Qi Xiaolong the chef of this drunken immortal residence. If that's the case, it's also very possible for Xiaolong to take root in this Feilong County, and marry another daughter-in-law in the future, and soon she will be able to hold her grandson.

Although Qi Xiaolong is still a child, Li Xiulan has already helped him think of such a long-term thing as marrying a wife and having children.

However, after all, the eyelids are a little shallow.

After letting Li Xiulan not speak, Qi Erfeng continued to say to Qi Xiaolong: "I'm not playing with you, I'm just telling you a truth, in this world, nothing falls from the sky and is all ready for you." If you really want something, you need to work it. ”

Qi Xiaolong didn't understand.

Not only did Qi Xiaolong not understand, but Li Xiulan, who was standing next to him and was many years older than him, couldn't understand either. She had never heard such a truth, such a philosophy of life, and of course she couldn't understand it.

Qi Xiaolong nodded ignorantly, but he immediately asked again, "Second sister, what do you mean?" Although I think it makes sense and is right, why can't I understand a word? ”

Qi Erfeng smiled slightly: "It's normal that you don't understand, which is why I support you to study, because only by reading can you understand more truths and know how to control your life." However, those are still a little far away for you now, and the first thing you need to do now is to fight for a chance to study. ”

Qi Xiaolong seemed to understand the last sentence, he immediately turned to Li Xiulan, and said to Li Xiulan with his childish face, but with an extremely firm look: "Mother! I'm going to read! ”

"This ......" Li Xiulan looked at Qi Erfeng a little helplessly, as if to say, didn't you come to persuade Xiaolong to learn to cook? How can I persuade for a long time, it has no effect at all!

Qi Erfeng laughed: "It's not this way of fighting with your palms up, and besides, your way of fighting is not called fighting at all, it's called begging." ”

"Then, second sister, tell me, what is the way to fight?" Qi Xiaolong looked at Qi Erfeng with sparkling eyes and asked. He could feel that the second sister was helping him, but it seemed that this matter was not as easy as he imagined.

However, it seems that it is easier to do it in this way, because he at least knows that he can hope to do what he likes, as long as he works hard and strives for it.

Qi Erfeng nodded and said, "Well, if you really want to know, just listen to me first, and apologize to my mother first, you really made my mother sad today." ”

Li Xiulan, who was standing on the side, didn't expect Qi Erfeng to suddenly lead the topic to herself, and she was stunned, but there was a warmth in her heart.

She said with some excitement: "This kid ...... No need, ...... for my mother."

"Mother, Xiaolong is still young, the truth that should be let him understand, the responsibility that should be let him bear, should still be taught to him, and he can't protect him in everything. Although what we are doing now will make you feel a little distressed when you look at it, if we let him understand these truths now, society will naturally use more cruel methods to make him understand these truths in the future. Qi Erfeng said to Li Xiulan solemnly.

As the saying goes, a loving mother loses her children, and she can't spoil her children too much. Although Qi Erfeng has never been a child's mother, she still understands these truths.

Qi Xiaolong is a malleable talent, Li Xiulan doesn't understand these truths, and it is incumbent on her, as a sister, to teach him.

Li Xiulan listened, nodded and said, "Okay then." ”

Qi Xiaolong was a little excited, although he was still a little ignorant, and he didn't understand some of the meanings in Qi Erfeng's words thoroughly, but he could faintly feel that his future would be very different. And this is different, it is all brought to him by the second sister in front of him.

"Mother, I'm sorry, I did something wrong just now." Qi Xiaolong apologized to Li Xiulan.

As soon as she saw her pink son apologizing to herself so obediently, Li Xiulan immediately pounced on him and kissed him, her eyes were full of surprise and love: "Ouch, Xiaolong, okay, forgive you for my mother." ”

However, Qi Erfeng on the side couldn't help frowning.

"Mother! You can't do this! Qi Erfeng's tone became stern.

Li Xiulan was stunned for a moment, looked up at Qi Erfeng in confusion, and was a little at a loss: "Erfeng, what's wrong?" Hasn't Xiaolong already apologized? ”

"Xiaolong apologized, yes, but did he really know where he was wrong? Mother, he didn't realize where he was wrong at all, so you were in a hurry to forgive him, and in the future, if he formed an inertia, he would just apologize, but his actions would still be the same as always. "Qi Erfeng has some hatred that iron does not become steel.

How can there be such an education of children, a good child, if he continues to be educated like this by Li Xiulan, sooner or later he will be educated as a bear child.

Li Xiulan felt that Qi Erfeng was a little too much, but she couldn't say anything, so she just turned her head and said to Qi Xiaolong: "Xiaolong, look at it, you have made your second sister unhappy, quickly, apologize to your second sister." ”

When Qi Erfeng heard Li Xiulan's words, she was almost angry with her, obviously she was talking about the method of educating Qi Xiaolong, but when Li Xiulan said this, it seemed that Qi Erfeng was deliberately holding the shelf.

"Mother! Don't you want to make Xiaolong stand out? Do you want the children of our big house to be crushed by that guy Qi Ji for a lifetime? ”

"Qi Qi?" Li Xiulan was stunned for a moment, and the triumphant faces of Qi Yinshan and Gu Cuihua suddenly appeared in front of her. In the eyes of the people in the Qi family's old mansion, Qi Ji is the hope of the entire Qi family, and in the future, he will be promoted to become rich and become the pride of the family.

In the past, Li Xiulan also thought so, and felt that Qi Ji was the kind of child who could become the glory of the family, her own little dragon...... Probably not as good as others. In fact, Li Xiulan doesn't want her children to be so good, as long as they can have a skill and be able to support themselves, it is enough.

Therefore, after Qi Erfeng said this, Li Xiulan murmured in a low voice: "Qi Ji, that kid...... It's really good. ”

"Mother!" Qi Erfeng just didn't know what to say, such an ambitious mother, where could she educate a child with backbone and ambition?

However, what Qi Erfeng didn't expect was that Qi Xiaolong on the side was unconvinced: "Mother! Second sister, what's so great about that Qi Ji? I'll be better than him in the future! ”

"That's right! Xiaolong, you have to be so ambitious! Qi Erfeng couldn't help but give Qi Xiaolong a thumbs up.

Qi Xiaolong raised his chin proudly, and his childish face was full of spirit.

Li Xiulan was a little worried: "But, where can our family compare with Yinshan and them?" ”

"Mother, why are you so confused! Second uncle, they used to rely on you to work, so they had extra money to send Qi Ji to study, and the entire Qi family was sucking your blood! Now that they have no support from you, it is a question whether they can eat or not, where can they still have spare energy for Qi Ji to go to school? However, we Xiaolong, with hard-working parents and sisters, do not have to be bad in the future. ”

"That's right! That's it! Qi Xiaolong also echoed on the side. Although he couldn't say these big truths, every word that the second sister said was what he wanted to say in his heart.
