The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 288 Do you want to be a general in the future? (2)
Mr. Yan saw Zhao Jing's eyebrows twisted slightly, and with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he waved to her quietly, signaling her to continue listening, Zhao Jing patiently listened to Qi Jiabao's words: "I also want to be a general, but my ancestor No."

Mr. Yan only smiled when he heard this, and asked again: "Then do you know why the old ancestor refused to let him go?"

Qi Jiabao frowned when he heard this, thought for a long time, and whispered: "The old ancestor said that fighting is too dangerous. Every time my uncle goes to war, the old ancestor can't sleep at night."

Zhao Jing's eyes turned red when she heard the words, and she couldn't help reaching out to touch Brother Bao's little head, the child actually knows a lot!

"That's right. Since ancient times, if you want to achieve fame, there are only two ways. Either you are like your ancestors, shrouded in horse leather and stained with blood; We all have to make up our minds since childhood, do you still remember the poem I taught just now? What are the last two lines?"

Mr. Yan looked at Brother Bao sharply, and there seemed to be some encouragement in his eyes, so Xiao Waer boldly said: "Young and strong... If you are young and don't work hard, the boss will be sad."

"Brother Bao has a very good memory, and I can remember it after listening to it once." Mr. Yan laughed, patted his head, and said to him: "As for the question you just asked, in a few days I'm going to talk to you." Your brothers are talking, do you want to come and listen together?"

When Qi Jiabao was praised by Mr. Yan, his little face was flushed. Children are always eager to learn, so he nodded his head vigorously when his appetite was so whetted.Mr. Yan was a little more dignified than before, looked at him rather sternly and said: "It's okay to come to my place to attend lectures, but you have to promise me a request, and you can't run away halfway, otherwise you will have to eat a ruler! "

Hearing this, Qi Jiabao became frightened again, shrank his neck and hid behind Zhao Jing, and said in a low voice, "Then...then I'll think about it when I go back?"

"Okay, you go back and think about it, and come back when you think about it."

Qi Jiabao didn't say a word along the way, and he really looked serious. Zhao Jing saw the serious expression on his face, and didn't know what his little head was thinking. She was about to ask him a question, but she didn't think about it. But the guy opened his mouth first: "Auntie, I go to school with my husband, what should I do if I am hungry? What do my two brothers usually eat? Why are they so thin?"

Zhao Jing was asked about this out of the blue, and she couldn't help but laugh for a while, and seeing the sad look on the little baby's face, she obviously cared about this matter, so she smiled and said: "Sir, you can rest for half an hour here. It's tea time, if you are hungry, I will ask the little maid to bring you pastries, and I will also send some to my two elder brothers by the way. They are growing up, so they should eat more. Wait for Brother Bao When I grow up to the height of my two older brothers, I will also lose weight."

"Really?" Qi Jiabao looked at Zhao Jing half-believingly, Zhao Jing just continued: "Of course it's true, my aunt never lies!"

Qi Jiabao was actually a little dependent on Zhao Jing. No matter how good the nurses were to him, they were servants after all, and they were nothing more than pets for nothing.Zhao Jing is different, she has the gentleness of a mother and the sternness of an elder, and Qi Jiabao trusts her very much.He twisted his small eyebrows, raised his head and thought for a long time, and said, "If my aunt brings me some snacks, can I go to listen to Mr. Yan's lecture tomorrow? Uncle often tests my brothers' homework, will he also test me?" ?”

The little guy still has lingering fears about Xu Si'an, as the only male elder in this family, Xu Si'an possesses absolute majesty.Zhao Jing thought for a while before comforting him and said: "Brother Bao is still young, go and listen to it first, don't test the homework, this master, my aunt can do it well."

When having dinner at Songhe Hall at noon, Qi Jiabao himself told Mrs. Xu about thinking of studying in Jinhui Pavilion.Mrs. Xu couldn't figure it out, how could a well-behaved child remember to study after going out with Zhao Jing for only an hour?
But looking at the serious expression of the little guy, the old lady didn't dare to say any more words of persuasion, lest when Xu Si'an came back and found out, she would get even angrier.

After lunch, Zhao Jing coaxed the two children to take a nap. The old lady Xu was also leaning on the soft couch and fell asleep. Seeing that the children were asleep, the old lady asked Zhao Jing: "Are you What method did you use to make the baby think about going to school?"

In fact, this time it is really not Zhao Jing's credit, it is all thanks to Mr. Yan's greatness, Zhao Jing just smiled and said: "My brother heard the interesting lectures of the gentleman outside, so I want to learn, he is still young, let him first Go and listen, no matter what book you read, it is also good to know a few words, old lady, don’t you think so?”

Mrs. Xu also nodded in agreement at this time, and thought that Brother Bao would not live in an outer courtyard after leaving, but she was still a little bit reluctant. Zhao Jing saw her thoughts, and said again : "Mother, don't worry, Brother Bao just went to listen and let him live in this Songhe Hall. It's the same to let him live in the outer courtyard when he thinks about going out."

Mrs. Xu was not relieved when she heard this, she frowned and said, "He wants to go to school just once you took him to the outer courtyard, maybe he wants to live out after two days of school!"
