Quick Wear: With the cub in hand, the world is mine

Hua Ke handed the wine and meat to Wen Fugui and said, "This is the tuition prepared for your eldest son. Give it to him now. Tomorrow morning, Daniu will go to the academy to start his studies."

Daniu was overjoyed. Grandpa really let him go to school! He didn't have to go to the fields with adults tomorrow! He would never tell others that Grandpa was crazy again! Thinking of what Daguang said about the ten-day agricultural holiday in two days, he felt disappointed again. Alas, he couldn't escape what he should escape.

Wen Fugui leaned over the door frame and peered inside, "Mom, aren't there any of our things among all these things?"

Hua Ke rolled her eyes. What's the point of raising a son? He only knows how to ask her for things.

"These brushes, ink, paper and inkstones are divided equally among the six children. You, Da Niu, get to divide them. You and your brothers and sisters get the same amount. You usually practice calligraphy on the ground with tree branches at home. Be frugal with paper, it's very expensive!"

"A-Zu, do we have to give some to Sanniang and Xiaozhu as well?"

"What else? Aren't they from our Wen family?"

"Yes, but they don't have to go to school."

"Even if you don't go to school, you still have to learn from me. I will teach you some things, and you can also teach me some things after you come back from school. You are the eldest brother, so you should take more responsibilities. Don't think that you don't have to do any work after going to school. Don't always think that scholars don't have to work in the fields. You are not a rich young man. After school, you have to take your brothers and sisters to feed the chickens and wash the dishes."

"Listen, Sanniang and Xiaozhu. A woman without talent is virtuous. A woman with talent but not showing off her talent is virtuous. How can she be virtuous if she doesn't even have talent? Go practice calligraphy and read books, men and women are the same. I, an old woman, can read and understand many truths. If you don't learn, you will be as immoral as your mother and it will be difficult for you to understand the truth in the future."

Liu and Li: "..."

It’s their fault that they are illiterate. They were ridiculed by the old woman just for standing there.

Sanniang and Xiaozhu held the chicken feather brush happily. They were very happy. A-Zu was very fair and did not favor his brothers.

The things that should be divided have been divided. Liu felt that she did not get much advantage, and could not help but find fault, "Mom, you spent a lot of money on the dog you bought for Si Niu, right?"

"So what? You have an opinion? Just keep it to yourself. I won't listen. I'm tired now and need to rest for a while. Get out and don't bother me."

Hua Ke stretched, lay on the bed and closed her eyes to rest.

Si Niu was holding the dog in the corner. The dog kept barking softly. Si Niu didn't know what it meant and looked at Hua Ke anxiously, "Grandma...Grandma~"

Hua Ke did not lie to Liu. She was old and had forgotten to take the body-strengthening pills in the past two days. She couldn't take it after walking so much. She fell asleep not long after lying down. She had no idea that Si Niu had called her for the first time. When she woke up, Pu Bao told her about this. She felt that she had missed out on a lot of billions.

The first time Si Niu called her, she didn't respond. She squatted beside the dog uncomfortably and stretched out her little hands to comfort it.

After Erniu put away his own writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone, he wanted to know if A Zu had bought anything else, so he bravely walked into the thatched hut and said, "Si Niu, A Zu has fallen asleep. Si Niu, did you buy any other food at the market?"

Yes, they bought a lot of delicious food.

Erniu didn't get any information out of Siniu, but he wasn't discouraged. He squatted in the corner watching the puppy like Siniu.

Seeing the puppy's strange behavior, Erniu asked, "Is it thirsty? The adults said that it sticks out its tongue and pant because it wants to drink water. It's so hot, it must be thirsty. Wait, I'll bring you a bowl of water."

Erniu ran out, and after a while came over carefully with a ceramic bowl and put water in front of the puppy, who immediately went over to drink the water.

"See, I knew it was thirsty."

Si Niu looked at Er Niu with gratitude. He had become a little better and he began to like him a little.

After the puppy finished drinking the water, Erniu moved the bowl to the other side and said, "Brother Siniu, can I touch it with you?"

Sure. Si Niu nodded.

As both of them were children, Erniu quickly put aside his previous prejudice against Siniu and played with the puppy harmoniously with him.

When Hua Ke woke up, she saw Erniu putting his hand on Siniu, and Siniu did not shake Erniu's hand off. It was amazing! She had only slept for half an hour, but the relationship between the two brothers had become so good.

"Azu, you're awake. The puppy seems hungry."

Hua Ke took out a bag of old rice from the bamboo basket. It was rice that had been in stock for several years. She bought it from the store at a super low price when she bought fine noodles. She bought it specifically to feed the dog. After all, they didn't have much left to feed the dog.

"Put half of it in that bowl and ask your mother to cook it."

"Okay."

Erniu did as he was told obediently. Seeing that Erniu helped him take care of the dog without complaints, Siniu liked him a little more. He decided to share one of the meat buns that his grandmother bought for him with him later.

After Erniu went out, Hua Ke first looked at the puppy for a while. After a few minutes, she suddenly remembered something very important. She quickly took Si Niu in her arms and touched his hard belly. "Big Head! How many days have you not pooped?!"

This child is constipated!

During the few days she had been here, she had occasionally seen the child urinating in the chamber pot. There was a toilet in the low-ceilinged cloakroom of the Wen family, but she had never heard him say that he needed to poop! The last time he squatted in the toilet was the day before she had come here.

"Si Niu, you haven't gone to the toilet in a few days. Is it time to poop today? Ouch, you are constipated. What should I do? I need to find some laxative food for you. Hey, if I had known, I would have bought you some bananas today."

Si Niu blinked his eyes. Going to the toilet? He didn't want to, because his butt would hurt.

Hua Ke massaged Si Niu's belly. It was too late to go to the market to buy bananas. She would be busy with the summer harvest tomorrow and would not have time to go. There were no sweet potatoes at this time, but there was honey. She would go to Wen Yaozong's house at the village head to buy some honey later.

Seeing her mother-in-law leaving with her money bag, Liu shoveled the cooked dog food in dissatisfaction, "The old woman is using the money to buy random things again. I don't know if she is buying food for the dog or selling it to the four cows. It's unfair. The dog eats better than us."

Sanniang looked at the dog food and said, "Mom, there are so many little bugs in this rice. I can't eat it." There were both black and white ones, which looked disgusting, but she could still accept feeding them to the dog.

"Sanniang, your grandma must still have money. When you have time, learn from Si Niu and hang around her more often so that she can buy you a headdress."

"Mom, I don't dare to go."

"Why are you afraid? Your grandma has bought things for you. Say more nice things and be sweet. She will be easily flattered."

Li went back to the kitchen with the washed coriander and green onions. After hearing what her sister-in-law had said to Sanniang, she learned something. She also needed to let Xiaozhu get closer to her mother-in-law. The benefits should not be taken away by the first wife alone.

Hua Ke came back with a jar of honey. This honey is pure natural and pollution-free, and she can drink some from time to time.

At the dinner table, several children stared at the steaming old hen soup and swallowed their saliva. Erniu and Siniu had been there for the whole afternoon. When they heard the adults calling them, they pulled him to go for dinner. Siniu followed him obediently. When he saw Hua Ke coming, he sat next to her consciously.
