Dong Yaqing continued: "That's good. There are only two people in this family, Miss and I, and there are not too many things. Mama Chen is responsible for grocery shopping, cooking, and laundry, and you will be responsible for cleaning the room in the future. If there is a guest coming, serve tea to the guest. If you invite someone to dinner at home, you go to the kitchen to help Chen's mother, do you think it's okay? ”

"Then who will give you and Miss a face wash and foot wash?" Lilac asked with two big eyes.

Chu Yun completely convinced her, "Won't we fall ourselves?" ”

"How?"

Looking at Lilac's two eyes that were as wide as copper bells, Dong Ya said calmly: "In this way, you bring water to the room every day, pour it yourself when we wash it, and call you when we need you." In addition, Miss has to practice every morning, she is used to getting up early, you don't have to get up so early, just remember to put a bottle of boiling water in the practice room every night before going to bed. Have you memorized them all? ”

Lilac hurriedly nodded: "Remember." ”

Dong Yaqing raised his head and looked at Chu Yun inquiringly, Chu Yun's mouth closed and said silently: "Eat!" ”

Dong Yaqing didn't understand it, and frowned. Chu Yun made a gesture of eating with his hand, and made a mouth shape word by word: "Eat." ”

Dong Yaqing finally couldn't hold back a laugh, and continued seriously: "By the way, there is also the fact that when you eat in the future, you only need to help Chen's mother set the table, and then go to the kitchen to eat with Chen's mother, you don't have to stand next to you and wait, when you finish eating, come and clean up, there are no outsiders at home, don't be in such a hurry." But when there are guests, there are exceptions, when there are guests at home, you listen outside the house, and when you hear the call, you come in quickly, and the rest will be told by Chen's mother when the rest arrives. ”

"I remember, Grandma."

Dong Yaqing looked at Chu Yun again, and Chu Yun shook his head.

"Well, let's make it clear about your work. You also see, we have a small family, this little thing can't take you half a day, Miss said, in the future, I will use an hour every night to teach you to learn culture, so that you can use your spare time in the afternoon to review, and when you have culture, you can really be with Miss. ”

Lilac's two big eyes blinked, blinked, and began to rain in a dripping manner.

Chu Yun hurriedly got up from the sofa, walked up to Lilac, and said comfortingly: "Don't cry, if you don't want to learn, then don't learn, no one will force you." ”

Lilac listened, shook her head desperately, and cried even harder.

Chu Yun was completely confused, she raised her head and looked at her mother pleadingly.

Dong Yaqing also made Lilac cry inexplicably, didn't she say it just now? No matter how you say crying, you cry. She waved her hand at Chu Yun to sit down, then looked at Lilac and said, "Okay, don't cry, if you have anything to say, just say it, let's find a way to solve it." ”

Lilac held her breath, held back her tears, and sobbed and said: "Thank you, aunt, grandmother, sister, I, I, I will, learn to read, if I can write, I can write to my mother, and I can also understand the letter sent to me." ”

Dong Yaqing and Chu Yun breathed a sigh at the same time. Chu Yun raised Lilac's head, looked at the little face that was dazzled by tears again, and said pityingly: "Don't worry, as long as you want to learn, I promise to let you learn to write letters to your mother by yourself." Hey, but there is one thing, if you cry at every turn, I will send you back to the old lady, and change you to someone who doesn't like to cry. ”

When Lilac heard this, she hurriedly raised her hand to wipe the tears on her face, left and right, the more she wiped it, the more she wiped it. When Chu Yun saw it, she couldn't help laughing, she picked up a small mirror and handed it to Lilac: "See for yourself, what has become of it?" ”

Lilac took a look at the mirror, one on the left and one on the right on her face, just now after helping Chen's mother clean up the kitchen, before she had time to wash her hands, she hurriedly came over when she heard her wife's call.

Lilac herself couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Dong Yaqing was also happy, and waved her hand at the two of them: "Okay, you two go out." I've been out for a day today, and I'm tired of all this when I come back. I'm going to rest, stop bothering me! ”

Chu Yun stuck out his tongue at Lilac, pulled her up and ran out.

After that, Lilac became Chu Yun's student. She figured out the rules of the young lady's day, and in the morning Chu Yun got up to exercise, she took a big broom to clean the yard, watered the flowers, and then boiled the hot water used in the morning. When Chu Yun left school, she began to clean the room, and the windows of several rooms were bright and spotless. When Chen's mother started to cook lunch, she went to the kitchen to help, and she rushed to do all the work she could do, making Chen's mother happy and praising her.

At noon, my wife took a lunch break. She opened the books and notebooks that the young lady had given her, and practiced the words she had learned the night before, stroke by stroke.

Chu Yun also liked this smart and clever little girl more and more. The small courtyard often resounded with the silver-like laughter of two young girls.
