Another year of spring has come and gone. The old man of the Lu family has retired from his job as chief clerk due to his age. An old man always feels lonely, so at the instigation of Chu Xiao, he also moved to Anning Village to live permanently and became a member of the village chess-playing group.

That day, the two old men went out to play chess. Zhao Guizhi saw that the weather was good, so she took out all the bedding to dry.

Yan Sanmei was diagnosed with pregnancy not long ago. Now the baby is still a little premature, and even the doctor with great medical skills cannot confirm whether it is a boy or a girl. If the boy's family has enough old clothes for babies, he can just make a few new clothes for them.

But He Changliu was determined that it was a girl, so Zhao Guizhi believed it. Recently, she would sew clothes for her granddaughter when she had nothing to do.

Xiao Yuer is not young anymore. According to other young men's standards, he should learn some women's work by now, but he has been playing with young men since he was young, and he really can't tell his own identity.

Just recently, I heard people talking about how Zunyuan Hou killed people all over the border. He persuaded Chu Xiao to learn martial arts and said that he would become a majestic general when he grew up.

Chu Xiao rolled his eyes almost to the sky, looking down on his own little brother who had no self-awareness.

"You?" Chu Xiao laughed and pointed at Yan Zhenshen who was chopping wood. "Your father is just a soldier who will be killed on the battlefield. Do you think you have the ability to become a general?"

Yan Zhenshen, who felt that he had raised Xiao Yuer a little biased because he doted on her too much, chopped wood silently without saying a word.

He still had to go to the battlefield. Wherever his husband was, he could only be a soldier who gave his head away for no reason.

At the same time, he is now Xiaoyuer's best scapegoat.

Xiao Yuer looked back at his father, who was tall and strong, with tight muscles and a very powerful look.

Then he looked at his own thin arms and legs, and his height was not even as high as his father's chest. There was no comparison at all.

If you can’t compete, then you can’t compete. So what if you’re not strong enough? Xiao Yuer still chooses to fight to the end.

"My father has never been to war, how do you know that he can't become a general?"

"I don't know about that, but I know you can't be one." Chu Xiao stared at this young but rebellious little guy with a smile, waiting for him to continue to refute.

Or else, Chu Xiao had been fighting wits and courage with his little brat for so many years, so he could be said to know Xiao Yu'er very well. He only heard Xiao Yu'er snort and say, "It is said that sincerity can move mountains and open rocks. As long as I work hard, how can you be sure that I can't become a general?"

Chu Xiao shrugged slightly: "Because you are the younger brother."

Xiao Yu'er choked up immediately, and after a long while he snorted, "Then I won't be a young master."

Chu Xiao also snorted: "If I could choose, I would still like to be a man."

"Then you can be a man too."

"I want to be a man and have you as my beautiful face on this day."

The father and son glared at each other. Yan Zhenshen reluctantly put down his axe and tried to smooth things over. Otherwise, he was really afraid that his husband would get unhappy and tie Xiao Yuer up with vines and hang him upside down again, under the pretext of helping him empty his brain, but in reality he was just finding ways to beat the child.

"Xiao Yu'er, go to the village and give your Uncle Qing some fruit."

When Zhao Guizhi heard this, she immediately said, "I also made some fish soup and will send it to your Uncle Qing."

Qing'er grew up with Lu Zhubu since he was a child. Now that the old man has come to Anning Village to live permanently, Qing'er naturally followed him.

Originally, when he was studying with Yan Zhenbei, he always had something to do. But a few years ago, Yan Zhenbei went to take the imperial examination, and Qing Ge'er had nothing to do, so he simply went to the academy to become a teacher.

This made the people in the surrounding villages very happy. After all, although the village has always taught girls and boys to read, the teachers are men. Many families could not get rid of the old idea and naturally did not want to send their girls here.

Now that there is a young man working as a teacher in the village, there are indeed a lot more girls and boys in the school.

I originally thought that I would only need to teach a few people, but I didn't expect that I would have to face twenty or thirty students every day in the past few months.

Although he is not a new teacher, Qingger considers himself to be serious and responsible. Although he does not work hard, he also goes out early and comes back late every day.

Zhao Guizhi has always loved children, especially Qing'er, who had been engaged to Xiaobei since childhood. It can be said that she really watched him grow up.

Although she had never been to school and could not teach, there were many people in her family who were studying and teaching. But before she went to He Changliu, she came back every day with pitiful complaints, which made Zhao Guizhi realize clearly that although studying and teaching did not require hard work, they were also very tiring jobs.

Now that she has this realization, she feels even more sorry for her children and would stew fish soup for them from time to time to nourish them.

Chu Xiao was quite happy about it, and even said that like cures like, so the fish heads should be given to the scholars, and the fish meat could be eaten by those who don't use their brains.

As soon as Zhao Guizhi mentioned fish soup, Chu Xiao smiled and said, "Remember to put the fish head on your Uncle Qing."

Chu Xiao was having fun, but Xiao Yuer had a painful expression on his face: "I don't want to eat fish tails anymore."

Chu Xiao sighed: "You don't need to replenish your brain, it's good enough to have a fish tail to eat."

Xiao Yuer was not convinced and started arguing with his father: "Then why do you eat fish?"

"Because I have to earn money to support my family, of course I have to eat more meat."

He spoke with great confidence, and it really left the little guy, who was unable to study, could not support his family, and was the number one troublemaker, speechless.

Yan Zhenshen held his forehead helplessly. Why could these two always argue endlessly over trivial matters?

"Xiao Yu'er, go and deliver the things."

Fortunately, Xiao Yuer knew the situation well. Since he couldn't win an argument with his father Chu Xiao, he decided to just take the things and leave. If he failed this time, he could fight again next time.

Yan Zhenshen looked at Xiao Yu'er who went out with a pouty mouth and sighed again: "Husband, you should get another one."

Chu Xiao rolled his eyes at him unhappily: "What, isn't it enough to make me angry?"

"I was wrong." Yan Zhenshen admitted his mistake as soon as he opened his mouth. After all, he had to admit that Xiaoyuer was not only as naughty as he was when he was a child, but also had the stubborn temper of the second brother. In addition, the third sister was outspoken and dared to say anything, but she was not like Xiaobei.

After all, Xiaobei can really be said to be the most obedient one in the Yan family, and Xiaoyuer is the most disobedient one.

"The child is still young, he will be fine when he grows up a little." Zhao Guizhi sat down again and picked up the needle and thread. She said so but did not dare to look at Chu Xiao.

After all, she couldn't help feeling a little guilty. Xiao Yu'er was so domineering, and she had to reflect on herself. It was all because of her spoiling him.

In fact, when Xiaoyuer was a child, Chu Xiao wanted a good kid, but now as the child is getting older, he is accepting of Xiaoyuer now.

After all, in this world, he can't change other people's minds. Instead of raising an obedient and sensible child, it is better to raise a domineering and bold one like this, at least he won't be bullied just because he is a kid.

However, he was happy to see that the Yan family could recognize the importance of spoiling their children. After all, a little brother could be spoiled like this, but a man could not be spoiled like this. He really would not be able to help but break his legs.

Chu Xiao curled his lips and smiled, then stood up and patted Yan Zhenshen's chest with satisfaction. He was still as strong as ever, and he liked it.

"That's fine, then let's get a more powerful one."

"Ah?" Yan Zhenshen was still a little confused for a moment, "Do you really agree?"

Chu Xiao looked innocent: "When did I disagree? Is this something I can decide?"

He hasn't planted winged chrysanthemums for many years. Chu Xiao wanted to say superstitiously that it was destined that he would only have one child.

After all, he didn't dare to say that his brother Shen didn't work hard enough... He would be the only one who would suffer if he said that.
