Chapter 102

Li Mumu was puzzled by something and asked: "My husband said that the military camp is actually closer to Chong'an. How can you come to Anping Town to visit Anping Town instead of being close?"

Zhu Yaoming explained with a smile, "Our military camp is in Chong'an, but we were there for reinforcements in the previous battle with the Turks, so we are closer to Anping Town."

"Now that the Turks have retreated, only the original defenders will be left behind." Zhu Yaoming said, "Shang Qing was originally with the defenders, but now that he has risen in rank and gained the respect of General Shang, he joined General Shang's command. With General Shang. Let’s go back to Chong’an together.”

That night, Zhu Yaoming and Huang Keyiao walked away feeling their bellies.

After the two of them ate the pork belly and chicken pot, they didn't care about the shame, and the food was disappointing.

Not even soup left.

Seeing this made Mother Gu feel distressed, thinking that these two people seemed to have suffered a lot in the army, and they might not even be able to eat a few good meals.

Look at the food here, how miserable it is for people.

But Mother Gu also thought that Gu Shangqing might be like this in the army.

Gu Shangqing didn't eat so exaggeratedly last night, probably because he was afraid that they would worry about his life in the army after seeing it.

Li Mumu looked at the way the two of them were eating, and was afraid that they wouldn't be full, so she hurried to the kitchen, scooped up pork bone soup and came back to add more to them.

Fortunately, since we are running a restaurant, we have a lot of reserves at home.

There were also cut noodles, and Li Mumu cut some more vegetables.

The chicken and beef I bought today were all eaten up. There was really no other meat, so I could only fish out some braised meat and send it over with the vegetables and noodles.

"I'm really sorry, I wasn't prepared enough today." Li Mumu said embarrassedly.

She had prepared as much as she could, but she really didn't expect that Zhu Yaoming and Huang Keyiao would eat much more than she thought.

Wang Cuizhen and Zhang Caiping knew that they bought a lot.

"These braised foods are all available in the store." Li Mumu said apologetically, "I promised you that I would eat some things at home that are not available in the store."

"In this way, next time my husband comes home from Xiu Mu, if you are free, come back with him and I will prepare more." Li Mumu said.

She was afraid that if she didn't treat guests well, people would think she was stingy.

This actually made Zhu Yaoming and Huang Keyiao embarrassed.

"No, no, it's just the two of us eating...a bit too much..." Zhu Yaoming's face turned red.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m smelly or because the pork belly and chicken pot is so hot that it makes me feel hot on my face.

Huang Keyiao also said with rare embarrassment: "We usually don't eat like this, but today's pork belly and chicken pot is really delicious."

"I have never eaten a pot like this." Zhu Yaoming said, "When we were marching, sometimes for the convenience of using local materials, we would kill some game and throw it into the pot to cook, but it was far worse than this."

Li Mumu smiled and said: "The march is difficult and there are not so many seasonings, so the taste will be a little different."

Huang Keyiao also said: "Don't be busy. In fact, we have already eaten. It's just that the soup is so delicious that we couldn't help but drink it all. It made you laugh."

Zhu Yaoming and Huang Keyiao repeatedly expressed that they could not eat anymore.Li Mumu stopped trying to persuade them, but still packed a lot of braised food for them to take back to the army.

Zhu Yaoming and Huang Keyiao left Gu's house with their swollen bellies.

After seeing the two of them off, the whole family washed the pots and dishes together.

Li Mumu took the time to ask the three children about their studies today.

The three children like Guan Fuzi very much.

"Master Guan has been to many places. When he teaches us how to read, he also talks about the local customs and customs mentioned in the book, which is very interesting."

"Do you remember Professor Guan's knowledge?" Li Mumu asked again.

"I remember." Gu Boyuan ran back to the bedroom, took out a copy of "The Analects of Confucius" and opened a page. "This is what Master Guan taught us today. We will be tested on dictation tomorrow."

Wang Cuizhen was delighted when she heard that, "Master Guan is much more reliable than that scholar."

Gu Shangyong quickly encouraged them, "Then you must learn from Master Guan."

"Master Guan said that there is a county examination in February every year, and a government examination in April. If you pass the government examination, you will be a child." Gu Baiyuan said, "Master Guan said, I will be born in January next year, and I will be exactly six years old. , it’s the age where you can take the Tongsheng test. Let’s see how my studies go first. If it works, I can try it next year. If it doesn’t work, I can do it two years later. I’m young now, so I’m not in a hurry.”

"Okay, let's learn first." Li Mumu said, "You learned late. Although I have taught you to read before, it is not as reliable as Master Guan's teaching. So it doesn't matter if it is not suitable for the exam next year. Do not give yourself too much pressure."

"I will still work hard." Gu Boyuan said firmly.

"Okay, when you finish the exam, it will be Bai Jin's turn." Zhang Caiping said with a smile.

However, Li Mumu felt that Gu Baijin didn't like reading that much.

When reading, it is difficult for the mind to settle down.

But now that Gu Baijin is still young, he is not in a hurry and can take another look.

If he really doesn't like reading, he can't force it.

In the evening, when he and Gu Shangqing returned to the bedroom, Li Mumu talked about this matter with him.

Gu Shangqing is not at home on weekdays, so he inevitably doesn't know Gu Boyuan and Gu Baijin well enough.

"Before moving to the town, I was the one who taught the children to read." Li Mumu said, "When the children are young, they are inevitably a little lively and active. But Bai Yuan can calm down when he is studying. He can do it Play after reading."

"Bai Jin is more active. It's hard to say now whether Bai Jin is like this because of his young age or what." Li Mumu said, "When I came to the Gu family, Bai Yuan was already five years old, and I didn't know he was four years old. At that time, was it just like Bai Jin?"

"I know a little bit about this," Gu Shangqing said. "When Bai Yuan was four years old, he was already calm and studious. When he was three years old, I started teaching him how to read. He can also read on weekdays. Even if you don’t understand my books, you still have to recognize them word by word. If you encounter a word you know, you will ask me.”

Li Mumu nodded, "I teach Xiuxiu and Bai Yuan to read on weekdays, and let Bai Jin listen together. I think Bai Jin is still young, just like Bai Yuan started reading when he was five years old. Next year, when he is five years old, I will let him study seriously. It’s not too late. So I don’t force Bai Jin to do anything in class.”

"But despite this, Bai Jin obviously has trouble concentrating and always wanders off. He is really not particularly interested in reading." Li Mumu said, "But the child is still young, so it may be too early to tell now."

"It's just that I saw that the second sister-in-law has high hopes for Bai Jin. I'm worried that if Baijin really doesn't like to study, the second sister-in-law will be very disappointed." Li Mumu said, "Actually, I think it's okay if Baijin really doesn't like to study. It doesn’t matter, after 360 lines, I will be the number one scholar.”
