At the beginning, the whole family fled from famine, and I used a milk bottle as a koi carp

Chapter 9 Dolls’ Reading and Literacy
  The next day, the strong labor force in the village began to carry buckets to collect water from the small pool.

The children in the village were practicing archery nearby. Sanbao sat beside him in frustration, watching his friends shoot hard at the tree. Children have little strength and their hit rate is not high.

An Ningning saw it from a distance and wanted to come over to comfort him. The young man had a lot of troubles!

The eldest brother Dabao and the second brother Erbao are the more diligent and hard-working in this group. The younger sister has a higher hit rate than their brothers, which puts too much pressure on them. The two of them studied with their second uncle in the county all year round, and were more self-disciplined and hard-working than ordinary children.

There are more than thirty children, big and small, in the village. The older ones are with the older ones, and the younger ones are with the younger ones. They look down on each other and do not interfere with each other.

Sanbao was among a bunch of babies. When An Ningning came to find him, he was quarreling with Liu Xiaodan from the village. An Ningning listened for a while and almost wanted to cover her face and walk away.

Does it matter whose brother is better at archery?
  An Ningning stopped wanting to join Xiaowa's team and was about to turn around and leave when Sambo saw her and pulled her over, "My sister is the best at archery, your brother."

Liu Xiaodan was not convinced and said even louder: "My brother is the most powerful person, he is amazing." As he said this, he pointed at Liu Dayan in Da Wa's circle.

An Ningning was the shortest among the group. She was squeezed between several children and felt speechless.

When he struggled out of these little brats, the two little knots on his head were messed up, his clothes were torn crookedly, and he looked so miserable.

Look at the group of big boys who are also very competitive. No one is the same, and they start to quarrel from time to time. An Ningning decisively goes to find An Laoer.

"Uncle, read a book!" An Ningning tried her best to calmly ignore her embarrassed appearance and greeted An Laoer.

An Lao'er laughed out loud when he saw his little niece like this. It was so cute to see her three-year-old baby, still at the age of suckling, greeting him like a little adult.

"Ahem, well, I just happened to have some free time today, so I can't cut the book!" An Laoer answered in a decent manner, holding the book.

"Uncle, I just went to see Sanbao, eldest brother, and second brother. What do you think they are doing?" An Ningning asked pretending to be mysterious.

"What else can these kids do? Aren't they busy learning archery recently?"

"Uncle, I just passed by. Sanbao and Liu Xiaodan were quarreling, and the eldest brother, second brother, and Liu Damang were competing with each other. Do you think they are too idle?"

"A bit. Your eldest brother and second brother haven't reviewed their homework for a long time. They may have forgotten it." An Laoer sighed. Now that the adults are on the road all day long, how can they have time to take care of what these little ones are doing!

"I think these big kids and little kids all need to study. Uncle, now's your chance to show off!"

An Laoer knocked his niece on the head and rubbed her little crotch, "You know what? Such a young person has to worry all day about whether he will grow taller!"

Tranquility.
  An Ningning rolled her eyes and walked away. An Ningning felt that she was playing the piano to others.

An Laoer felt even cuter when he saw his niece rolling her eyes and walking away.

Hey, how can you be so cute?

Well, her niece rarely comes to her to ask for anything. If she has anything to do, she goes to her own father. It's rare that he can handle anything.

An Laoer wandered around and found the village chief squatting and smoking a cigarette among a pile of donkeys and cows. I saw the village chief smoking dry cigarettes while feeling sorry for these livestock. In the past years, these were all big items in the family. Now, I have been following the famine team and pulling carts, which is all heavy work. I have lost a lot of weight in just half a month. How can the village chief, an old farmer, not feel bad for me.

Nowadays, people have to save water for eating, let alone these livestock.
  Sigh. Maybe if I really go into the mountains later, I won't be able to take these with me, but I can't.
  I can’t imagine it!
  Heartache! pain!

When the village chief saw An Laoer's leisurely look, if he hadn't been wearing shabby clothes, he would have thought it was an outing.
  "Second brother, what are you doing?"

"Uncle, I want to talk to you about something!" An Laoer said, squatting next to the village chief.

"We have been walking for a while. According to the distance, we are almost out of the Huainan King's fiefdom. From now on, we don't have to rush so desperately every day. It's not a problem to see the children in the village idle all day long!
  If there were wild vegetables or something nearby, the big kids could help, but now there is nothing near the mountains, and the deep woods are not accessible to the kids. "

He changed his posture, sighed, and continued: "It won't be a problem if things continue like this! In the future, when we go to new places, the children who are studying will continue to study.

I think about this journey, if I have free time, I can't let the dolls run around. Take some time every day to let the children read. It doesn’t hurt to read more. "

The village chief's eyes widened, "Really? Is Zhengyi willing to teach the children in the village?"

Ha, Zhengyi is the name of An Lao Er. Most people in the village call him Lao Er, and I’m not used to it for a while.

"I'm fine. I just left in a hurry. I only brought a few books from home, but I don't want to delay the children's studies."

"Many children in the village have never been to school. They are no more courageous than your father. Most of them have problems eating. Life is difficult. How can they afford to study?

Speaking of which, the ancestors of our Lao An family once had a third-level beauty, and it was during your grandfather's generation. After so many years, the clan has become worse and worse. It’s all us old guys who have no ability. We are ashamed of our ancestors.”

An Laoer. "Uncle, it's not that serious. I'm just making a suggestion. Why are you feeling sorry for yourself!" Not so!

"Uncle, this is not your fault. Over the years, the imperial court has failed to act, the princes and kings have continued to dispute, ordinary people have struggled to survive, and no one in the clan has died of hunger. It is already very good.

Hey, you don’t know how many clan members are scattered in all directions, and you can’t find them even if you try to find them. You are already doing well, at least most of our clan members are together this time. "

The village chief wiped away the non-existent tears and said, "Second brother, I will leave these dolls to you from now on. These backdoors are the ones where you have studied the most. I believe in you. You will take care of them. No. I hope that everyone can achieve fame and fortune, be able to read and do math, and that they can make a simple living when they are stable in the future."

An Lao Er "Uncle, I am just a child so far, and I have not yet gained fame or fortune. I just don't have the strength to let other children gain fame and fortune too!"
  However, An Laoer is also willing to do something for the village. In previous years, he was the target of ridicule when he returned home. He couldn't carry it on his shoulders, couldn't lift it with his hands, and couldn't do any farm work.

The family relies on the elder brother and sister-in-law. Fortunately, the sister-in-law has no objections, otherwise life would not be possible at all.

The village chief immediately gathered all the little kids who were playing with cats and dogs, "From now on, you will be led by Zhengyi. He will lead you in reading, literacy, arithmetic, archery, etc. In short, everything will be done from now on." You have to listen to An Laoer."

An Laoer "."Uncle, that's not what I said when we discussed it just now. I just take them to read a book occasionally to learn how to read. Why did you dump them all on me all of a sudden.

Oh my gosh, you haven't seen these monkeys usually. They just jump and jump when they walk, and they can't even live peacefully!
  An Ningning was delighted when she heard that, uncle is uncle, this is a task beyond the scope!

She looked at a group of little kids with a confused look on their face, their eyes widening in disbelief.

Hey hey hey! If you let it go, there will always be someone who can cure it!
