Chapter 240 I'll take care of the child today
"Minzhi, how old were you when you started learning to read?" Yang Biao took the paint from her hand, then picked up the child, put the paint in the paint box, poured some water to mix it, dipped the wolf hair brush she had just bought in the paint, and taught the child to draw circles.
"Master, I didn't learn to read until I was eight years old." At that time, the mistress of the Tan family was unwilling to hire someone to teach these concubines to read. It was Tan who told her father that no matter how beautiful a girl was, no wealthy family would want her if she couldn't read. This is how she got the opportunity to study with those legitimate daughters.
"Oh, then you are the same as me. I also went to school at the age of eight." He grabbed the child's hand, dipped it in paint, and drew a little turtle.
"Do you know that my two cousins went to school at the age of six, but why couldn't they read?" Yang Biao let the child draw by himself and he sat aside and watched.
Freedom is a catalyst for children's growth, and giving children appropriate freedom is the key to cultivating their independence and creativity.
"Because they are not smart enough." Tan Minzhi thought that he was smart, which was why he got the top spot in the high school entrance examination. She was really lucky.
"It's not entirely due to this reason. It's because they were young and playful when they were first taught, and they didn't remember much of what the teacher taught them. That's why they were often punished by the teacher, and they lost the joy of learning." Interest is the best teacher.
"Oh," Tan Minzhi stopped talking. She felt that she might be the worst among Yang Biao's wives and concubines.
Liao Panhua has been well-read since childhood and is knowledgeable and talented, which Yang Biao praises highly; Hong Yan is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is also very good at needlework; Qin Xiaoran runs a dyeing workshop and his business is booming; not to mention the mistress of the house, Xia Weiwei, who is the daughter of a high-ranking official and is extremely precious; these people are not comparable to her, so she can only place her hopes on her children.
"Qiangqi is a child with good comprehension. If you teach him well, you will be blessed in the future." Yang Biao saw that although Qiangqi had difficulty holding the pen, he could draw well, so he smiled and helped him hold down the paper.
"Originally, I wanted to teach Zhuo Qiu to read, but his mother didn't want him to start learning too early and lose his innocence, so she forbade him to go to the study." Seeing that he was drawing seriously, Yang Biao fed him a piece of crispy meat.
"Wouldn't it be better to learn to read earlier if you start learning early?" Tan Minzhi was puzzled as to why she was still unwilling to do so.
"It's true that you can learn to read early, but if you plan to take the imperial examination, it will take more than ten years, or even twenty years of uninterrupted study. It will take many years to pass the exam. You must really like studying to persist." I have said all I can. It depends on her choice.
I want to give my child enough time to develop and adjust. I don't want to rush for success, but patiently wait for my child to grow and transform.
"Madam, can you let the three Zhuo Qiu brothers spend more time with their other brothers and sisters in the future?" Although he knew that she would feel uncomfortable, Yang Biao still didn't want the children to meet each other as strangers when they grew up and have no contact with each other.
"Then let them have dinner together during the holidays." Children just eat and drink together, and if they stay together for a long time, they are more likely to fight.
"Okay," Yang Biao was a little disappointed when he heard her say that. His original intention was to let Xiaoran and her children move in so that his children could live together day and night.
Maybe there will be some fights and quarrels in the process, but it can also enhance the relationship between brothers. Unfortunately, it is destined to never come true in this life.
"Husband, are you planning to invite your colleagues to Kang Qiu's hundred-day banquet?" Even though she knew what he was thinking, Xia Weiwei could only apologize and find an excuse to change the subject.
"I'm tired. Let's forget about hosting a banquet. Let's just have a simple meal as a family." Since his other children couldn't come anyway, Yang Biao was not in the mood.
"Okay," Kang Qiu was hungry and twisted violently in her arms. She had no milk, so she could only hand the child to the wet nurse to feed him. She wanted to help him change into official uniform.
"I'm on vacation today, so I won't wear it." Seeing her take out the official uniform, Yang Biao lay on the bed without moving.
"Oh, then I can stay home and play with the three Zhuo Qiu brothers." Xia Weiwei put her official uniform back and sat on the bed looking at him. Why didn't he call himself husband anymore?
"I play with them every day," what else could you be dissatisfied with? But Yang Biao didn't say it out loud.
Her casual remarks, especially unthought-out criticisms and opinions, may be repeated by her and possibly misunderstood.
"You are busy with official duties every day, and you only have a short time to spend with the children..." He goes out early and comes back late every day, and Xia Weiwei can only see him at night. It is rare for her to see him stay in bed like today.
"I'll take care of the child today, you go to the clinic." Yang Biao was a little annoyed, so he interrupted her and started to get dressed.
"Okay, I'll go first." Xia Weiwei felt very uncomfortable. His attitude towards her today was different from before.
Before a girl gets married, she always has infinite yearning for her future life and hopes to be alone for the rest of her life. But when she married Yang Biao, Qin Xiaoran was already with him, and later three concubines came, which made her hard to accept.
"Zhuo Qiu, Zhe Qiu, come out and play with daddy." Yang Biao carried the two brothers to Qin Xiaoran's house, where her two sons were at home.
"Yunzhen, Yuanzhen, come and play with us." Yang Biao excitedly called Qin Xiaoran's two sons. She thought for a long time when naming the children, and finally decided that her sons' names would not follow the characters in the Yang family tree.
The child's name is taken from [Zhou Nan? Taoyao] Taozhiyao, its leaves are dense. This means that the peach blossoms are in full bloom, and the green leaves are lush and never fall.
"Daddy," the two brothers ran towards him as soon as they saw him.
"Let's go and play with brother Xingqiu." Yang Biao let the two older ones hold his thighs, and he held the two younger ones in his hands and went to Liao Panhua.
On the way here, he had thought that when Xia Weiwei went to the clinic, he would put the children in the courtyard of the three of them. He would let her and Hongyan look after them, and when he was done with his shift, he would send them back one by one.
"Miss, your son-in-law has taken the two young masters to Jinquan Road." Xia Weiwei was checking the medicinal materials when Shi Rui came over to report.
"Shi Rui, thank you for your hard work in secretly protecting Zhuo Qiu and the others in the future." Seeing that he took the order and left, Xia Weiwei sat down on the chair in silence.
If life could only be like our first encounter, why would the autumn wind make the fan sad? A beautiful first encounter is always exciting, but as time goes by, the cruelty of reality often makes people feel afraid.
"Daddy, kick it to Zhuo Qiu quickly." Yang Biao brought three big Cuju balls, and the balls were always under his feet, making little Zhuo Qiu shout anxiously.
"Daddy, kick it to Qiangqiu." The strong child followed him all the time, trying to find an opportunity to grab the ball.
"Daddy, kick it to Yunzhen." Seeing that he hadn't kicked the ball to her side, and Qiangqiu was waiting for an opportunity to grab it, little Yunzhen didn't want to wait there anymore, and ran forward to grab it.
"Yo," Yang Biao made a fake move and Yun Zhen kicked in vain.
"Daddy is bad, bad Daddy!" The child who failed to grab the ball was angry. His unyielding character was aroused and he continued to grab the ball.
Liao Panhua and Hong Yan watched the interaction between the father and son over there with a smile, and occasionally fed the four little ones sitting nearby.
