Chapter 80: For You Too
It was getting late, and the candles were lit in the room, and the crisp sound of reading sounded intermittently from inside.
Jiang Ning came out of the backyard with a sea bowl filled with vegetables, subconsciously looked towards the closed door, frowned slightly, and said worriedly: "Qing'er seems to have been reciting the Tao Te Ching all day long......"
If she remembered correctly, she would have read it thirty-sixth times...... Oh no, thirty-seven times!
The next room slowly opened, and Xiao Sheng came out of it just in time to hear the muttering in her mouth, and replied indifferently: "Qing'er has a bad memory, so it is natural to read it a few more times." ”
Of course, Xiao Sheng would never tell them that it was he who made Xiao Zhiqing have to memorize the Tao Te Ching within two days, which is why today's situation is this.
Jiang Ning frowned, he just felt that there shouldn't be such a law, right?
Recite the Tao Te Ching from morning to night......
Liu also came out of the backyard with vegetables, and when he heard the sound from the house, he was distressed.
"Qing'er has been pampered since she was a child, and she can't even sit still embroidery, but now she stays in the house all day long shaking her head and studying, what is this doing?"
Liu stomped his feet, put down the vegetable bowl in his hand and was about to call someone, but Xiao Sheng stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Sheng'er?"
"Mother, Qing'er has a temperament, now is a good time to sharpen, don't be soft-hearted."
Xiao Sheng's voice was indifferent, but his tone was unquestionable.
Liu Shi said very unhappily: "Qing'er is the most well-behaved and sensible, Sheng'er, you are not a good brother to spoil, why do you still say such things?" ”
Xiao Sheng felt innocent, but it was not as if Liu broke it and crumpled it, so he had to say again: "Mother, it was Qing'er who promised to study medicine with Ning'er, and it was for her good to let her study now, otherwise she would really start learning in the future, and she wouldn't even know a word, how to read medical books?" ”
"Isn't this taught by Ning'er?" Liu asked bluntly.
However, this sentence made Xiao Sheng's face sink suddenly, and his tone was even colder.
"Mother, on weekdays, Ning'er has to follow you to the ground, and she has to take care of the fruit forest, and after returning home, there are a lot of housework, how can she follow Qing'er to teach every day, and the master leads her into the door, and the practice is personal, if she can read the medical book by herself, whether it is her or Ning'er, it is a good thing."
As soon as these words came out, Liu also realized that he had just said the wrong thing.
She sneaked a glance at Jiang Ning......
Seeing that Jiang Ning didn't make any movement, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and glared at Xiao Sheng angrily.
"Yes, my mother hasn't studied for a few years, and I don't understand these big truths, but it's all at this point, even if it's a cow, you have to let people take a break, right?"
After finishing speaking, Liu didn't bother to pay attention to Xiao Sheng, and went directly into the room and pulled out the book in Xiao Zhiqing's hand.
"It's time for dinner."
Xiao Zhiqing wailed and reluctantly followed.
Even when she sat down, Xiao Zhiqing was muttering the contents of the Tao Te Ching in her mouth while pulling rice into her mouth.
"Heaven and earth are unkind to all things as dogs, and saints are unkind to the people as dogs, between heaven and earth, their ...... Its ......"
Xiao Zhiqing cried with a sad face, and immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks to enter the house.
It was only at the moment of her movements that she heard Xiao Sheng's indifferent voice sound.
"How stubborn?"
Xiao Zhiqing suddenly nodded and said: "Yes, yes, that's it, the next thing is to be empty and unyielding, move and get more and more, and it is better to keep the center." ”
After reading this sentence, Xiao Zhiqing obviously wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Xiao Sheng.
"Eat well when it's time to eat, study well when it's time to study, read like you, even if you memorize it for two or three days, it's not smooth, rather than so, it's better to really sit and embroider as my mother said, isn't it happy?"
Tsk, that's a bit poisonous!
Jiang Ning raised her head in embarrassment, and immediately saw Xiao Zhiqing sitting on the side with red eyes, looking unwilling to look at her, just looking sorry for her.
"Xiao Sheng!"
Jiang Ning shouted at him angrily and kicked him under the table.
After many days of treatment, Xiao Sheng's leg nerves naturally improved a lot, so the pain in this foot can still be felt.
Xiao Sheng looked at her with a puzzled expression.
Then, he saw Jiang Ning's silent warning: "Don't go too far. ”
Can a ten-year-old child be forced like this?
Best of all, it's only the first day!!
Even if you really don't want Xiao Zhiqing to study medicine, you don't need to do this, right?
Xiao Zhiqing pursed her mouth hard, trying hard to keep the tears from pouring out, and lowered her head and tried to pull the rice.
However, Jiang Ning's eyesight was excellent, and he saw that Xiao Zhiqing's tears had already dripped into the rice bowl.
Tsk, it's really sad.
A good dinner with a weird atmosphere.
Xiao Zhiqing was the first to put it down, turned around and entered the house to continue to endorse.
Seeing that his little daughter didn't have much appetite like this, Liu glared at Xiao Sheng angrily and then followed in.
For a while, Jiang Ning and Xiao Sheng were left in the lobby.
"It's not that difficult."
Jiang Ning reluctantly put down the dishes and chopsticks, looked at someone who was still eating, and said this seriously.
Xiao Sheng raised his eyes to look at her, without words.
"If you really don't want Qing'er to learn, I just don't teach it, why do you say this to make her sad."
Ten years old, in modern times, that is, children who have just passed the age of playing with mud, there is really no need to waste like this.
Xiao Sheng looked at her for a while, swallowed the food in his mouth, put down the dishes and chopsticks, looked at her very seriously and asked, "Ning'er also thinks I did it on purpose?" ”
Jiang Ning raised his eyebrows slightly, and returned a look, obviously asking: Isn't it?
Xiao Sheng shook his head helplessly, looked at her with some loss and continued: "After the accident in her own house, Qing'er has become more and more well-behaved and sensible, and most of her lively personality on weekdays is pretended, in order not to let my mother and me worry, to be honest, Qing'er is like this, I am also responsible, and later after you married in, the heavy responsibilities of the family were significantly reduced a lot, so her temperament became more and more jumpy, and at the same time, she became more and more unable to sit still, and she couldn't settle down with a little little thing, and if she married out in the future, she would definitely be wronged." ”
"You...... You're thinking too far. ”
Before, she thought that Xiao Zhiqing was shocked that she could say that she was going to get married, but she never thought that Xiao Sheng would think further than herself......
Xiao Sheng looked at her with a wry smile: "In just a few years, soon." ”
Jiang Ning: "......"
Well, the days do go by fast.
"So, you're just trying to sharpen Qing'er's temperament?"
Xiao Sheng bowed his head slightly and shook his head again.
Jiang Ning: "!! ”
What's going on?
Xiao Sheng seemed to see the doubts in her eyes, smiled helplessly, and continued: "First, it is indeed to sharpen her temperament, and secondly, it is also for her good, after all, reading is reasonable, and third, it is for you." ”
Jiang Ning looked at him in surprise: "For me? ”
