Chapter 36: Mom
36. Mom
Zhang Yu gave "Water Margin" to Erniu.
I went to the library today and borrowed a book for you, you see, this is one of the four great Chinese classics.
The second girl took the book in surprise.
I've heard the teacher talk about the four famous books, but what about the other three?
"You read this book first, and when I'm done reading this one, I'll show you the rest."
The second girl quickly lay down on the bed and couldn't wait to start watching.
At that time, there was no entertainment, maybe reading novels was the only pastime, and for Erniu, there was no opportunity and condition to read novels before, so she was hooked all of a sudden.
Zhang Yu has a deep understanding of this, when she was a child, her parents were not around, and her grandmother was a person who liked to be quiet and loved to read, so she encouraged Zhang Yu to read more.
"Erniu, I can't stay up late, it's half past nine, and I can't go to bed more than half past ten."
The second girl was fascinated and didn't raise her head.
"Okay, I know, big sister, don't worry!"
Zhang Yu walked out of Erniu's room and went to Xiaobao's room.
Xiaobao lay on the bed and reviewed the words that Erniu taught him, as well as pinyin.
"Xiaobao, how is the review?"
"Eldest sister, what the second sister taught me, I will know."
"Xiaobao is really powerful, he will learn it. Keep up the good work! ”
"Sister, what book are you holding in your hand?"
"Journey to the West" is a particularly good-looking storybook, should I read it to Xiaobao?
"Good! I'm the one that likes to listen to stories the most. ”
Zhang Yu originally planned to let Erniu read to Xiaobao, but she was too hard to see Erniu, not only to help make steamed buns, but also to teach Xiaobao to learn, she should also have a little time and space for her, so Zhang Yu could only read it to Xiaobao by herself.
Who called her the parent of these two children? Bound.
Zhang Yu opened the book and began to read, because it was a Chinese version, at the beginning, Zhang Yu was afraid that Xiaobao would not understand, that is, she underestimated this child's comprehension ability, and people didn't sound like any obstacles at all.
Xiaobao's big round eyes are full of surprise and curiosity, in Zhang Yu's cognition, ordinary children listen to stories, listen to them and fall asleep, but Xiaobao is more and more energetic.
It's ten o'clock, Zhang Yu said go to bed! Read it again tomorrow.
Xiaobao grabbed Zhang Yu's hand.
"Sister, let's talk about it again."
"No, I have to get up early tomorrow morning to sell steamed buns to make money!"
Xiaobao looked at Zhang Yu with begging eyes.
"Eldest sister, Xiaobao is very well-behaved, very obedient, Xiaobao will help you sell steamed buns tomorrow, and besides, Xiaobao doesn't want to eat candy, you just be good to me, reward me for listening to another story."
As he spoke, Xiaobao rubbed Zhang Yu with his head.
Faced with such a soft and cute child, Zhang Yu really couldn't bear to refuse.
"Okay, let's read one more paragraph at the end."
After Zhang Yu read another story, Xiaobao lay down satisfied.
"Eldest sister, you said that if I knew a thousand words, I could read a storybook by myself?"
"Yes! You don't need me to read it to you. ”
"In other words, if I learn Hanyu Pinyin, I can recognize words through the dictionary myself, and I don't need the second sister to teach me word by word."
"Yes! If you learn Hanyu Pinyin, you will be able to learn to read and write on your own. ”
Xiaobao fell asleep silently, Zhang Yu turned off the lights for him, and when she arrived at Erniu's room, she was still reading.
"Erniu, turn off the lights and go to sleep."
"Okay, big sister." As she spoke, the second girl got up and turned off the light.
Zhang Yu came out to see that Yingzi's room was already dark, and knew that she was tired and had already gone to sleep, so she returned to her room.
Zhao family.
Zhao Chunhua returned home and parked his bicycle in the yard, Li Jiahui heard a voice and came out: "Chunhua, where did you go just now?"
"Library."
"Why didn't I go to the library and see you borrow books?"
"I took the big girl there, she doesn't know the way."
"Yesterday I helped her borrow textbooks, and today I helped her borrow novels, she still loves to learn."
"Textbooks and novels are borrowed for younger brothers and sisters, and she, the eldest sister, really deserves to be the eldest sister like a mother."
"In this way, she doesn't like to study, but she attaches great importance to the learning of her younger siblings."
"As a parent, the one who doesn't pay attention to his child's learning."
Zhao Chunhua parked his bicycle and was about to enter the house, but Li Jiahui stopped him.
"Son, let's talk."
"What are you talking about?"
"Zhang Daniu."
"What's wrong with her?"
"I heard about the fight in front of the hospital this morning. I really underestimated her, she was so fierce that she beat both of them. ”
"Did you hear about the real version or the processed version?"
"Isn't what your dad said the factual version?"
"What my dad said, naturally it is the real version, since you heard the real version, you should know that it is not easy for her, a sixteen-year-old girl, taking her younger brothers and sisters to a strange city to beg for a living, was bullied by others, she is just defending herself, we as her acquaintances, we should be more fortunate that she has the ability to protect herself."
"Yes, yes, as far as today's incident is concerned, she is not wrong, but, think about it, she is only a sixteen-year-old girl, and she beat two people in their forties, is this the first time she has fought? It must have gone through countless times to be refined into steel and practiced such a victory today. ”
The big girl said that she knew a little kung fu and learned it from her grandfather. The purpose of learning kung fu is to defend themselves and protect themselves and their younger siblings, after all, they have lost their parents since they were young, and children without the protection of their parents have a little self-protection ability, isn't it good? ”
"Okay, okay, what you say is reasonable, but through this incident, I am even more sure that you are not suitable for her, and I firmly oppose you contacting them in the future."
"Mom, the big girl is a good girl, they have just entered the city, there are many places where I need help, didn't grandpa and dad make me treat her like a sister? Our family brought them here, we can't ignore them! ”
"I know, she is a good girl, I don't deny this, but I have a clear attitude, you two are not the same kind of people, if they have any difficulties, we should also help, but it is not you who come forward, but me, in the future, I will help them."
"Mom, no, you have prejudices against them, and they can feel this prejudice, so when you contact them, they will have a sense of restraint and distance, and they will not turn to you if they are in trouble, which goes against Grandpa's original intention of taking them over."
"Son, is that how you see your mother? In your eyes, your mother is so unkind? ”
"Mom, that's not the case. I mean, we young people communicate well. ”
