After being slapped on the butt by Qin Shan, Qin Xiaoxiao's attention was focused on him: "Dad, what are you talking about?"

Qin Shan wanted to tease her, so he repeated what he had said to Lin Qiuniang before.

"Why are I making trouble with you? Am I such a stingy person~" Qin Xiaoxiao pouted in defense, trying her best to show that she is a generous sister: "When my mother gives birth to my little brother, I will share the delicious and fun things with him.

We should take him to play every day, go to the fields to pick wild flowers in the spring, pick fruits in the mountains in the summer, catch big fish in the lake in the autumn, and play with snowmen together in the winter..."

Following her words, Qin Shan and Lin Qiuniang's minds unconsciously pictured the image of their daughter playing with a baby in the mountains and fields, which once again magnified the couple's desire to have a child.

Qin Xiaoxiao was talking, but suddenly the conversation turned serious and said: "When my brother is as old as me, I will teach him to read. If he doesn't obey and can't read well, I will also hit him hard on the palm of his hand!"

This girl must have suffered too many slaps in the palm of her hand, and she knew from this that only the slap in the palm of her hand could make her study honestly, so she took it for granted and put this trick on her "younger brother" who didn't even have a shadow.

It can be seen that even if she is willing to study and make progress, she still has resentment about this matter in her heart.

"You girl can just think!" Qin Shan and Lin Qiuniang couldn't laugh or cry, and found this scene very interesting. For a moment, both sweetness and bitterness came to their hearts.

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't know how her parents were feeling. She talked to herself for a while. Her attention was once again attracted by the novelties on the street, and she no longer had the intention to think about her "brother".

Qin Shan and Lin Qiuniang were silent, their minds occupied by the thought that they might have a child.

It wasn't until they reached the gate of the city that they met Qin He, who had been waiting there for a long time. The couple buried this thought in their hearts, and did not plan to tell their families, for fear of disappointing everyone in the end.

After leaving the relatives who should leave, the Qin family gradually returned to its former peace, and they just did whatever they had to do after the Lantern Festival.

However, compared with Qin Xiaoxiao, who was leisurely and contented and went out with the three treasures every day to find playmates, the life of the first and second treasures was not easy.

Before, the two brothers took advantage of having a lot of time and simply put aside their homework and played with a bunch of boys in the village every day, resulting in not completing any of the homework assigned by their master years ago.

Seeing that there were only five or six days left before the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, the two brothers, who had been carried away with playing, finally remembered their unfinished homework. Each one wailed louder than the other. Under the threat of Zhao Cao'er's bamboo stick, they had to put away their play.

Xin took out the book that had accumulated a thin layer of dust.

Fortunately for Dabao, he is not afraid of being scalded by boiling water. Even if he fails to complete his holiday study tasks, he is not afraid of being beaten by his master in front of his classmates. He often wants to avoid Zhao Caoer and sneak out to play.

Er Bao is extremely impatient. His memory is not as good as Dabao's, and his understanding is also very average. He passed the school exam years ago only because he wakes up earlier than a chicken and goes to bed later than a dog every day.

At present, he has been idle for nearly twenty days. He has forgotten many things he learned before. It is very difficult to make up for it in just five or six days. If he fails to pass the examination after the new year, he will be punished by the master.

It was Qing, he was afraid that he would not be able to leave the enlightenment class and successfully advance to the Ding class.

Seeing him like this, Qin Xiaoxiao became anxious for him and tried her best to help him review. Whenever she found that it was difficult for Erbao to memorize a certain passage of text proficiently, she would follow Xu Ze's instructions and explain the meaning of the passage.

, to help Erbao understand and recite.

Thousands of people have thousands of faces, and so do words. Different people usually have different understandings of the same sentence. Qin Xiaoxiao and Erbao were not taught by the same person, so their understanding of the same paragraph of text was inevitably different, and the brother and sister would argue from time to time.

.

Most of the time, it was Erbao who listened to Qin Xiaoxiao and followed her reminders to understand the meaning of the article, even if he didn't agree with it in his heart.

This situation happened so often that it inevitably attracted Qin He's attention. After Er Bao once again chose to listen to Qin Xiaoxiao's words, Qin He couldn't help but said: "Er Bao, why don't you stick to your own ideas?"

Erbao glanced at Qin Xiaoxiao and said weakly: "What my sister said makes more sense."

Qin He was afraid of scaring him, so his tone became gentler: "How did you know what your sister said was more reasonable?"

Erbao said with some shame: "My sister is smarter than me and has a better memory than me. Her husband has also been a high official, so what he teaches must be correct."

Qin He frowned slightly, then relaxed, and turned to ask Qin Xiaoxiao: "You often argue with your husband, have you ever argued with him?"

Qin Xiaoxiao shook his head and said quite confidently: "I haven't convinced you yet. When I become smarter in the future and know more truths, I will definitely be able to compete with you sir!"

Qin He smiled and continued to ask: "Do you think you can't convince sir because you don't know enough?"

Qin Xiaoxiao nodded fiercely: "Well, that's it. I don't know a lot of things that sir said, and I can't even dismiss it~"

Qin He rubbed his niece's head, then his eyes fell on Erbao again, pointing directly at his problem: "Xiaoxiao can convince you, it's not that she is smarter than you, or that she has a more powerful husband, it's you

I deny myself first and think that I am not as powerful as Xiaoxiao, and then I will be led away by Xiaoxiao.”

This child's talent and understanding are indeed not as good as those of Dabao and Xiaoxiao, but hard work is equally important when it comes to studying. If Erbao can do this, he may not really be inferior to Dabao in his studies. It's just that this child is not confident enough and is easily criticized by others.

Influence.

This alone is enough to make a person fall into mediocrity step by step.
