The road to wealth of a peasant widow

On the first day that the three brothers officially went to school, Chen Cui got up early and prepared breakfast and lunch.

They had breakfast as a family, and lunch was taken to school for the brothers. For this purpose, she specially bought a large lunch box that could hold food for three people at a time.

When she boiled the goat milk, she added a pinch of jasmine tea. Sure enough, the smell became much lighter, almost gone, and it tasted more mellow than the milk she had drunk before.

Chen Cui specially bought a few bowls with the same pattern to hold goat milk.

The children knew that this was a good thing, and their mother bought it specially for their health. Now that it no longer had a strong smell, they no longer rejected it. Everyone drank up the milk in their bowl, and after finishing, there was a circle of milk foam at the corners of their mouths.

When Chen Cui was making breakfast, she also cooked a few eggs for them to take with them. In case they got hungry before mealtime, they could eat them first to fill their stomachs as a snack.

Fortunately, Suisui wakes up early now and gets up before she finishes cooking. She can eat with them and then get in the car. Otherwise, if she is sleeping soundly, it would be really unbearable to wake up the child and put him in the car.

Alas, this is the disadvantage of having few people at home. She doesn’t want to leave Suisui alone at home, so the whole family has to go out.

In her previous life, she had seen too many cases where accidents happened to children left alone at home. So, even if the child was asleep, even if they did not live in a high-rise building and the chance of an accident was very low, she was determined not to leave Sui Sui alone at home.

For such a young child, even if she falls off the bed, even if the ground is not hardened, it will cause her great harm.

Although this is not necessarily the case, there is a certain probability.

Aren’t those whose children get into accidents all hoping for luck, thinking that since they’re just going out for a while, it’s unlikely that anything will happen to their children? But what’s the result?

No matter how small the probability is, it becomes 100% when it happens to an individual.

The life with children in this life is what she got after living a second life, and she will not allow any accidents to destroy her current life!

After sending the children to school, Chen Cui drove the mule cart home. The round trip took only 40 minutes.

When they came, Sui Sui sat in the carriage and let her brother hold her. On the way back, Chen Cui held her in her arms and covered her tightly with a cloak so that she would not be cold.

After arriving home, Chen Cui cleaned up the kitchen, added fodder to the mule and sheep, and poured half a bowl of the remaining rice porridge to the two puppies.

This ewe can be milked twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening, which adds up to two or three kilograms.

The milk I squeeze out in the morning and cook is just enough for one bowl per person. I squeeze it again in the evening and it’s just right for the whole family to drink before going to bed.

By this calculation, each person can drink about half a pound of milk every day. Apart from anything else, with this half a pound of milk, the calcium should be sufficient to supplement the children, and there should be no need to worry about their height.

What's more, nowadays, my family basically buys meat every few days. The quantity we buy is large, which can be eaten for at least two days. If we continue to eat like this, we should be able to replenish our body.

In the afternoon, because it was the children’s first day of school, Chen Cui went to pick them up early.

Looking at the boys of different ages coming out of the school one after another, Chen Cui was looking for the figures of her three children among the crowd.

Suddenly, Changping appeared in her sight, followed by Changan and Changfu. The three brothers walked out together.

Changping was carrying a lunch box, Changan was carrying a schoolbag, and Changfu was empty-handed. The three of them saw their mother and sister, and ran towards them.

"Mom, how long have you been here?" Changfu asked Chen Cui happily with sparkling eyes.

"Mom just got here too. What did you learn today? Did you learn everything?" Chen Cui asked, touching Changfu's head.

"I learned a lot today. Let me recite it to you. When people are born, they are good. Natures are close, but habits make them different. If you don't teach... it's important to specialize."

Changfu couldn't wait to recite everything the teacher taught him today in one breath, then raised his little face and waited for his mother's praise.

"Wow, my Changfu is really amazing. He learned so much in one day. Can you tell me in detail when you go back?"

Chen Cui acted as if she was surprised and amazed.

As expected, Changfu nodded proudly: "Of course, I will teach you carefully after I go back, and I promise to teach you as well."

Changping and Changan watched their younger brother showing off in front of their mother with a smile.

In fact, they both had learned it. They didn't speak at this time just because they didn't want to deprive their brother of the opportunity to show off in front of their mother.

As soon as they got home, Changping and Changan went into the kitchen to help cook as usual, while Changfu was responsible for taking care of Suisui.

After dinner, the three brothers lit the oil lamps in their room. Chen Cui also carried Sui Sui to their room to learn today's content from Chang Fu.

In fact, although her cultural level is not high, she can still recognize those basic traditional Chinese characters by guessing.

An enlightenment reading material like "Three Character Classic" is so widely circulated that even kindergarten children in later generations can recite it, let alone her, a junior high school student, who can basically recite it by heart.

So, Changfu taught her two or three times, and Chen Cui pretended to stumble and recite it all back.

Her learning speed not only amazed Changfu, but also Changping and Changan.

They also had to recite it with the teacher at least four or five times before they could memorize it, but my mother could recite it after just two or three times.

Chen Cui's learning ability made the three brothers feel a great sense of crisis. Originally, they were complacent because of Mr. Chu's praise, but compared with their mother, their performance was really average!

So, Chen Cui hugged Sui Sui and turned off the lights. The oil lamps in the three brothers' rooms were still on. It was unknown whether they were learning Chinese characters or tracing red characters.

From then on, it became a fixed task for the three brothers to teach their mother what they had learned that day after school. However, this task was taken in turns among them. Today it was Changfu, tomorrow it was Changan, and the day after tomorrow it was Changping.

With Chen Cui's incredible learning speed, the three brothers studied very hard regardless of whether it was their turn to be a temporary teacher or not. Firstly, they did not want to waste the money for schooling, and secondly, they did not want to be outdone by their mother.

Among the new students in the school, they have relatively outstanding academic performance and are praised by the teacher almost every day. The teacher says that if they continue like this, they will soon catch up with the learning progress of last year's students.

But compared with their mother, they still feel that they are not performing well.

After all, they had to learn something four or five times, but their mother only needed two or three times to learn it. She could also learn the words they learned every day very quickly, which made them feel more urgent to learn.

As Chen Cui drove a mule cart to pick up and drop off the children at school every day, the news that her family sent all three children to school in town and bought a mule cart gradually spread in the village.

Everyone in the old house also knew about this. When Old Mrs. Zhou heard about it, she was furious and immediately went to find Chen Cui to question her.

Her eldest son gave her three grandchildren, but only one of them could go to school, and the other two had to stay at home. Why could all three of Chen's little bastards go to school?
