The Group’s Favorite Cute Baby is One and a Half Years Old

Chapter 68, reading and writing

Sister Ying was also curious about what her uncle was looking for, so she immediately ran over to look for Wu Laosi with a smile.

When Wu Laosi saw her coming, he picked her up first and pretended to take her to the back door to see the scenery.

 When no one was around, he took out a small bag from his sleeve and gave it to her.

“Sister Ying, can you help your uncle bring this to your little aunt?”

Since the man and woman cannot meet each other after they are engaged, Wu Laosi misses his sweetheart but cannot go to see him. He really misses her in his heart.

 Taking advantage of Sister Ying's arrival today, she wrote three letters and a small sachet to give to Liang Qing.

Sister Ying suddenly realized, it turned out that her uncle wanted her to be a delivery boy?

She laughed and teased Wu Laosi, "Uncle, what's the point of me running errands for you?"

Wu Laosi clicked his tongue and thought to himself that this girl is really a little kid.

 “Then what benefit do you want?”

Sister Ying hummed and thought for a moment, "I want the dagger that my uncle used to cut the mutton chops."

Just now, the Wu family was roasting lamb chops in the yard. When they were cutting the meat, Sister Ying saw Wu Laosi cutting the mutton with a delicate and short dagger.

That dagger is as small as a little finger, but very sharp. It looks like a silver hairpin, but it is very useful when you pull it out.

Sister Ying coveted the dagger, but her family said children should not play with knives.

 It just so happens that I can get some errand fees for running errands.

Wu Laosi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and tapped her nose, "You're a little thing, you have really sharp eyes, you know this is a good product, it's not bad, you have a good sense, so I'll give it to you. But you have to get the letter and this little bag with your own hands." Send it to your little aunt."

Sister Ying hid the rolled letter in her small bag, patted her chest and promised, "Don't worry, I will definitely complete the task."

Wu Laosi knew that although she was young, she was very smart, so he gave her the dagger and other things with confidence.

When Sister Ying goes out, she carries the small backpack that Mrs. Wu made for her. She puts everything in it and is not afraid of losing it.

Wu Laosi warned, "Don't take out the dagger to play with, or you may cut your hand."

That thing was bought from someone else when he happened to see a Persian businessman reselling goods when he went to the state capital.

 It is originally a female object, as small as a little finger, but I am afraid that Sister Ying will cut her hand.

Sister Ying quickly said no, and asked him, "Don't tell my mother about this."

 Otherwise it will cause her to be confiscated.

Wu Laosi also patted his chest and said no.

The uncle and nephew looked at each other, bumped their fists, and smiled tacitly.

By the time dinner was finished, Mrs. Wu felt pregnant, so she stayed the night. After dinner, the whole family left and went back.

 After returning home, Sister Ying ran up and down and handed the letters and gifts to Liang Qing.

Liang Qing was really happy when she saw it. She hugged Sister Ying and kissed her twice.

“Sister Ying is great, huh~”

She was originally a shy person, and she couldn't resist the cheerfulness brought by love.

Sister Ying also came over to read the letter written by Wu Laosi.

 You won’t know if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it.

She didn’t recognize many words in the letter.

The writing of each era is somewhat different. It seems that she and her father need to read some books. Otherwise you will become illiterate.

Old Mrs. Liang knows a lot of words and can be her first teacher for the time being.

So Sister Ying began to become active in reading.

 Old Mrs. Liang thought she had done something bad at first, otherwise why would she suddenly become a good student? ?

When I asked further, the person said, "I went to look through the book today and found that I didn't know a single word. It was really uncomfortable. I had better study hard, otherwise I would be blind."

Hearing this, Mrs. Liang couldn't help but smile, and nodded her forehead, "You're a little thing, and you're a chatterbox." She spoke in a consistent manner.

 After talking about it, he held her in his arms and taught her some simple words. Sister Ying is young and old-hearted, and she learns quickly. In just a few days, she recognized a lot of words. Mrs. Liang was stunned for a moment, and finally she said, "You're really smart, just follow me."

 Sister Ying? ? ?

Don't give the credit to her father this time?

Mrs. Liang snorted arrogantly, "No matter how smart your father is, why wasn't he born by me?" It means that I am smarter than your father.

Sister Ying was convinced, thinking that her grandmother was not only childish, proud, but also quite narcissistic.

At dinner time in the evening, Mrs. Liang told Liang Jin about Sister Ying’s ability to read quickly. Liang Jin was immediately curious. "Really? Then I'll check it out tomorrow."

So the next day, Liang Jin took Sister Ying to learn how to read. He first asked her what this character was called, and then asked her what another character was called.

Sister Ying said it word for word, and Liang Jin was very happy.

“I originally wanted to wait until you were five or six years old before I started teaching you how to read, but I didn’t expect you to be so smart. It seems that you can start studying the clan of the Liang family a few years earlier.”

Families with a good reputation in the town will basically set up a clan school. Children of the same clan will go there to study for a few years when they reach a certain age, and finally take the boy student examination.

Girls from fairly good families will also hire a female husband and study for a few years so that they can marry into a scholarly family in the future.

  After all, rich people don’t have to do farm work. As a young lady, you must still be able to read and write in order to read the account books.

The Liang family's family background is also good. Sister Liang and Liang Qing are both literate and can read account books. Marrying them will make it easier for the housekeeper to read the account books.

Nowadays, the scholars in Liang Jinzhong naturally want their daughters to study in their clan.

So he took Sister Ying's son and went out to his cousin's house to sit and see if any of their children were attending family schools.

Mr. Liang’s family has many brothers and sisters, and they all live in the town.

However, Mrs. Liang had a quarrel with her sisters-in-law a few years ago, and they didn’t have much contact with them.

It was only then that Liang Jin became a scholar and became active again.

 There is no animosity between men, it’s just women who compete with each other.

Old Mrs. Liang has an arrogant temperament. Those sisters-in-law said before that she was tough, as if they were saying that she could kill men, which made her unhappy.

 So I stopped having contact with those sisters-in-law for several years.

However, Liang Jin had no hatred against his cousins, and they still had contact with each other.

Old Mrs. Liang doesn’t object to him interacting with his brothers. Anyway, they are all relatives and it’s good to help each other.

Today Liang Jin carried Sister Ying to his eldest cousin's house, and she immediately greeted him with a smile.

 “Ajin is here?”

Liang Jin smiled and said, "Yes, come to visit me. How are you doing, cousin?"

Liang Da's cousin's name is Liang He. Liang He smiled and nodded to Liang Jin, "Okay, that's all good. Is this Sister Ying? Is she already this old?"

Liang Jin smiled and said, "Yes, he is over two years old. Your youngest son is also three years old, right?"

Liang He smiled and said, "Yes, Lao Wu is over three years old."

 Having said that, call the children in and call for help.

Liang He is more than ten years older than Liang Jin and has five children.

Two of the girls are four or five years old, about the same age as Sister Ying.

Liang He asked his two girls to take Sister Ying to play, "Sister Ting, Sister Jiao, please take your sister to play in the house."

Those two girls, one is three years old and the other is five years old.

The five-year-old is called Ting Jie'er, and the three-year-old is Jiao Jie'er.

Sister Ting is older, has a more arrogant expression, and has an ordinary appearance, but has a pair of interesting little eyes.

Jiao Jie'er is a bit naive, still eating her hands, looking a little childish.

Sister Ting glanced at Sister Ying with her little eyes, looking arrogant. Call Sister Ying, "Come here, I'll take you to my room."

 After saying that, Aojiao raised her chin and her little head high and led them into the house.

Sister Ying couldn't help but want to laugh when she looked at her little turkey, so majestic and high-spirited.
