After eating, Father Su went to the backyard to practice his wrist’s strength.

In fact, this could also be regarded as a form of rehabilitation.

Su Xiaoxiao made him simple equipment and set the upper limit of intensity and time.

Half an hour a day, gradually.

Wei Ting was in Su Ergou’s room, teaching Su Ergou and the three little ones to recognize characters.

The three little ones were just playing around, they were doodling while wagging their heads having fun.

The main student was Su Ergou.

Although Su Ergou was usually playful, he was very serious when learning from Wei Ting. He listened to what Wei Ting said just like a little fanboy. Of course, it was also because Wei Ting taught him well.

Su Xiaoxiao brought a basket of needles and threads over, pretending to sit next to Su Ergou.

“I’m sewing a few clothes, that… It takes a lot of money to light up a few oil lamps, and our family is not well-off either. So I will just make do with the oil lamps here. You guys can continue, I won’t eavesdrop!”

If it was not because he just gave her so much money, Wei Ting would really want to believe that ‘our family condition is not well-off either’.

Wei Ting didn’t say anything and continued to teach Su Ergou.

The three little ones liked Su Xiaoxiao joining them so they eagerly showed her their little doodles.

“Mom, Xiaofu (hu) wrote this.”

Xiaohu showed off his…… circle, cross, circle cross.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “It’s quite good, Xiaohu is so smart!”

Dahu and Erhu also wanted to be praised.

Su Xiaoxiao dealt with the three little ones while perking up her ears to hear Wei Ting’s lesson.

Without exaggeration, Wei Ting’s explanation was really good.

For any word, he could explain it with a length of classical story.

Such a little bully like Su Ergou, who didn’t like to study and only liked to play with stray animals and being naughty, unexpectedly would feel that studying didn’t seem so annoying anymore.

Su Ergou said, “Brother-in-law, the way you teach is better than the teacher.”

Wei Ting asked, “You went to school before?”

Su Ergou said, “There is a private school in Su Yuniang’s natal family’s Qianshui Village. When I was a child, I went there to study for a few days, but the teacher thought I was stupid and troublesome, so he didn’t let me study there.”

He himself also didn’t want to go there either, he hated that teacher.

My brother-in-law is different, he never scolded him for being stupid, and even if he remembered wrong, he wouldn’t be scolded.

“These are the new characters you learnt today, you have to copy them again.”

Wei Ting handed Su Ergou a sheet of copybook and a stack of white paper.

The characters on the copybook were big and square. Su Xiaoxiao didn’t have to get close to see them clearly, and the main thing was that it had some stroke order marked on it.

Su Ergou scratched his head in frustration, he could recognize the character, but he really didn’t like writing ah.

Moreover, why were there so many ah?

When would he be able to finish it?

Wei Ting stood up calmly and said, “After you finish writing it, give it to me tomorrow. I’m going to rest first.”

Su Ergou picked up the brush with bitterness and hatred, “I got it, brother-in-law.”

As soon as Wei Ting left, Su Xiaoxiao took the small stack of copybooks that was on the table.

“I will help you write a few!”

“But Jie*, can you write?”

*Jie (姐) : older sister.

Su Xiaoxiao lifted up the brush that Wei Ting had used and said without changing her expression, “Hey, who couldn't trace ah?”

Su Ergou felt that his older sister’s words seemed a bit reasonable, so he handed more of the copybooks and said. “Jie, then you help me write a few more!”

Su Xiaoxiao generously agreed. “Sure!”

Su Ergou lazily climbed onto the bed and went to sleep.

The two siblings had a good relationship, no need to be pretentious.

Su Xiaoxiao moved the small low table and sat on the bed, “Move a little!”

“Oh.” Su Ergou rolled up the quilt and wriggled to move inward.

When the three little ones saw this, they instantly threw away their toys in their hands and crawled onto the bed.

Su Xiaoxiao was practicing her calligraphy with her legs crossed.

And the three little ones were doing somersaults behind her, playing so happily!
