Sweet Garden Bliss

This time I stayed in Qiyang County long enough, and in the blink of an eye, the New Year is coming soon.

The days have always been very peaceful, perhaps, because of the winter snow blocking the road, there is no news of any abnormalities coming in at all.

The two boys became more and more cheerful, and now they hang out with the soldiers all day long. After Xing Manzi formally exercised his right to be a "follower", Zhanpeng Zhantang's speaking habits began to approach rudeness.

There is no way, the so-called "the one who is close to the vermilion is red and the one who is close to the ink is black", a hundred or ten men are together, and the culture that needs to be learned can still scare people.

Ah Yuan's endurance broke out on the night of Xiaonian, because after reluctantly gathering the children together for a reunion dinner, the husband and wife waited for Xiao'er to sleep, and finally closed their eyes. Just as he was about to leave the room, he heard Zhantang's small mouth spit out a clear dream: "Go to hell!"

At first, Bai Chengguang smiled along with him. These words in the military camp were not rough, but it was a bit weird to be uttered by such a young child.

The mother stood blankly in front of the children's kang and blamed herself for a long time. Both sons are precocious, mentally they are not comparable to ordinary two-year-old children, especially Zhantang's language talent and learning talent are very strong, He has long been able to recognize most of the characters and understand a lot of truths that adults say.

However, staying in the barracks and running around with the soldiers all day long, does it count as going astray and delaying the development of the children?

The father can understand why the daughter-in-law is unhappy, and explained in a low voice: "It's nothing. At most--I will talk about them later, and don't learn to curse--".

Ah Yuan sighed, and walked out of the children's bedroom hesitantly. The lights in Song Haohaohao's room had already been turned off, so there was no need to check it quietly.

"Chengguang, after having a child, I realized that being a parent is really not easy." The husband and wife lay down on the kang, Ah Yuan's voice was a little heavy.

"It's not easy, daughter-in-law. Especially you, who gave birth to them by yourself, raised them so much, and suffered a lot—" This matter is Bai Chengguang's eternal pain, and he feels unreasonable whenever he talks about it .

"I didn't mean to say that." Ah Yuan waved his hand in the dark.Big eyes fell on the roof: "I feel that I have always wanted to give them the best life and educate them to be the best people, but how can I achieve this goal? What kind of education method Is that right?"

Bai Chengguang's mind couldn't get around.Whose family doesn't raise their children so naturally?Still staying up in the middle of the night to discuss education methods?

"None of the children in our family is worse than the children in other families! Of course they will be the best when they grow up, daughter-in-law, why are you thinking about this? Zhanpeng Zhantang is a kid. He is strong and strong. Smart, let's take care of it, let alone, who has seen such a beautiful and cute little girl?"

When talking about children, Bai Chengguang always looks proud, as if only the three of his family are the treasures in the world, even though he tried his best to control this super showy appearance in front of others, guarding his wife's face.But you don't need to be humble anymore, do you?

People say that children always look at the best in their own home.You are right.

Even Song Haohao's appearance, which Ah Yuan knew very well, was considered by the father to be the most beautiful in the world. Whenever Ah Yuan dared to raise some objections to this point, Bai Chengguang was the first to not allow it.

The girl is dark-skinned, and she is basically cut off from peerless beauties. In addition, she inherited her father's copper bell and leopard eyes. As a mother, she plans to dress up in a heroic manner in the future, but the father always Thinking of her daughter as a child of a peerless beauty, Song Haohao likes those little daughter's silk flower hairpins and bits and pieces more and more.

Well, this matter is still far away, so we can leave it alone for the time being. We must come up with an idea in advance on the issue of Zhanpeng Zhantang, right?You can't really just grow up in a military camp, develop a body of brute strength, coupled with two rough heads, and become a representative work of "simple mind and well-developed limbs"!

Even if he had to follow his father's old path in the future, the Ma family's genetics prevailed, and the two sons would fight for their lives on the battlefield, so they had to be generals and marshals with brains and cultural strategies, right?

What's more, as a mother, she secretly fantasizes about keeping her son by her side, becoming a civil servant like Awen, or taking over her own property to start a business. , but it went astray more and more.

The husband and wife did not discuss the results. On the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, Wan Chongyang, the county magistrate of Qiyang, came to visit.

This kid is quite polite, and the New Year's ceremony he bought is well-behaved and not expensive, but everything pleases Ah Yuan.

The main reason is that the Four Treasures of the Study and a stack of books given to the two boys are too timely. Those books and two manuscripts are the learning process after the enlightenment of the Wan County Magistrate, recording some doubts and traces of thinking of a student on the way of growth, very precious.

There is also a sentence that Wan Chongyang said unintentionally, which is very suitable for Ah Yuan's heart: "I thought about the early enlightenment of Zhanpeng Zhantang, and the hopes that Awen Sima and Yuanfu Yin placed are very high, don't delay their studies .”

However, Bai Chengguang is the only one who doesn't want to, why delay his studies?The children are not yet two years old, so where is there any academic problem?

But Ah Yuan talked too speculatively with Wan Chongyang, and even specially called the two boys back to greet Wan Chongyang, and asked them to consult the county magistrate on any study issues.

What's wrong with the two boys?Recently, they are keen on climbing and rolling, or riding on the back of the guards to follow the team. Field training is as interesting as high-level "hide-and-seek" for them.

Bai Chengguang was very proud with his chest puffed out, because his son was asking the county magistrate tenaciously: "How long will it take Uncle Wan to climb the mountain? Do you know how to judge the direction in the wild? How about your archery skills? Will you?" Can you 'Pierce Yang with a hundred steps'?..."

This is blatantly using one's own strengths to attack others' shortcomings. Father Guang nodded his head and still encouraged. Since ancient times, civil servants and military officials have drawn boundaries from each other, and now that boundary is blocked by a two-year-old child.

Fortunately, Wan Chongyang is not a fool who just made his debut. Faced with this kind of problem, he smiled and said: "Uncle, my intelligence is limited. In this life, I can only play with my pen and talk, and I don't plan to strengthen my force, because Human life is too short to cover everything.”

"Tch——uncle, you have no skills!" Bai Zhantang's expression was so disdainful that he even forgot his pretense of politeness: "What's the point of being able to read? Read all the words, and then put them together to become an article. No way? But a man needs to develop good skills in order to protect his family and himself... ".

"That's right! Uncle Wan, to be a man who can stand up to the heavens and earth, you have to be strong and have martial arts!" Zhan Peng followed his younger brother and emphasized the importance.

Look, let's say that these two children were taught crooked by the soldiers, right?Consider your body more than your IQ!

Wan Chongyang naturally refused to be weak, so why would he not be a man if he doesn't know martial arts?Especially in front of a woman I liked, saying that he is not a man is a slap in the face!

""Zuo Zhuan Xianggong Nine Years" Zhi Wuzi once said: "Gentlemen work hard, villains work hard, and the rule of the first king." "Mencius" "Teng Wengong Zhangjushang" said: "Those who work hard govern others, and those who work hard rule To others'. That is to say, only relying on the strength of the body to live in the world, but also subject to the management and governance of the scholars... ".

It seems that this debate has begun to lose its book bags. Wan Chongyang has dragged the issue of martial arts to the perspective of "workers rule over others" to emphasize the argument that scholars have a higher status.

"Those who work hard are powerless, and those who work hard can beat them to the ground with their fists and feet! How can you control people?" Zhan Tang simply didn't make sense, waving his small fists like a fighting cock , seems to want to increase the force value by one step.

"Stop!" Ah Yuan finally interjected: "Are you all misleading the topic? Literature has the advantage of literature, and martial arts has the glory of martial arts. Is it necessary for civil and military to compete for strengths? Why don't you consider being an all-rounder in civil and military affairs?" man? A man capable of both literary and military skills, that is the real great husband!"

Wan Chongyang sighed regretfully: "However, since I was young, I have been studying hard in the cold window. Chongyang has no chance to practice martial arts to strengthen my body. Children, there is always no balance in the world. When you gain, you will definitely lose some things and opportunities. ...".

Scholars often do this, and like to adopt a slightly pessimistic attitude towards the changes in the world, unlike a man with strong limbs and a simple mind, he has no thoughts of hurting the spring and the autumn.

Bai Chengguang advocated that children should develop a good body in this life and follow him to march and fight. He also expressed his affirmation of Wan Chongyang's statement that "it is impossible to have both". , It’s right to read all day.

The daughter-in-law said he was all-rounder in both civil and military affairs, how tiring it was!

Fortunately, children like challenges. Since my mother said that a man who is capable of both civil and military skills is the real great husband, then--a good man who is capable of both civil and military skills!

"Uncle Wan, don't sigh. If you can't do it, we can definitely do it. Aren't you all talented in civil and military affairs? Young master, I—" Before Zhantang finished speaking, A Yuan stretched out his hand and knocked on the chestnut on the head.

"Are you still a young master? Whose master are you?"

It's really impossible to stay in this barracks, the two boys are so rude, Ah Yuan pointed his finger at Zhan Peng again, the elder and younger boy backed up behind Father Guang with an innocent face and waved his hands.

"Chengguang, you have to set up a new training course. It's not enough for soldiers to train with their lives, and they have to fill their brains with something. In Chongyang, you should find a way to find a few gentlemen from the county. Can understand the art of war, and can combine it with practical training... ". (To be continued.
