The stepsister of a peasant family in a book is spoiled by the big brothers

"I wrote it wrong, rewrite it..."

"This Nian Tang, can't you even remember your own last name?"

"Here is a square shape called kou, which also means mouth. What does it mean when you draw a circle?"

Qin Huiyin stretched her neck to look towards Tang Yichen's room.

Li Taohua's face was filled with disdain: "How could a man with Tang Dafu's brains give birth to a son like Tang Yichen? Could it be that several generations of the Tang family have reserved their brains for one person?"

Tang Luwu looked at Tang Yichen's window nervously.

She had never seen her eldest brother speak to her father and younger brother in such a tone. Even with outsiders, he rarely got so angry, which was completely different from his usual image.

Tang Yichen noticed the gazes coming from this side and immediately closed the window. With a clang, he blocked the women's view.

He took a deep breath, regrouped, and tried to soften his tone as he said, "If you don't learn these three characters today and write them skillfully, you won't need to sleep, and neither will I."

Tang Dafu and Tang Yi smiled with bitter faces.

They dare not resist.

Tang Yichen's face was already very ugly. If they talked back to him again, they were worried that he would faint from anger.

"No wonder those old scholars couldn't pass the imperial examination after studying for decades. It turns out that studying is so difficult."

"Dad, we are just learning to read, which is also called enlightenment. I heard that children from rich families have to start enlightenment at the age of three."

"A three-year-old has to learn such terrible characters? Those rich kids are really pitiful."

"I think so too. Fortunately, our family could only support one scholar, otherwise I would have to..."

Tang Yichen watched Tang Dafu and Tang Yixiao discussing the hardships of studying as if no one was around.

He sneered.

Tang Dafu and Tang Yi laughed and shuddered, then hurried back to their seats, tracing and reciting the three words.

It was late at night and everyone in the village was asleep, even the dogs were asleep, except for Tang Dafu's house where the lights were still on.

Tang Dafu finally finished the last stroke and handed in his homework like a child who had done something wrong.

He lowered his head, waiting for the 'Master' to make the final judgment on the three words he had just completed.

Tang Yixiao also finished and stood next to Tang Dafu.

The two faces, one old and one young, are 50% similar, except that Tang Dafu is more rugged and Tang Yixiao is more handsome.

The two of them looked at Tang Yichen with exactly the same eyes.

Tang Yichen extended his hand to Tang Yixiao.

Tang Yixiao quickly handed what he had written to his brother and teacher with both hands.

Tang Yichen looked through the words written by Tang Dafu, then looked through the words written by Tang Yixiu, and didn't say anything for a long time.

"Chen'er, please help Dad pass the test, okay?"

"Brother, you can't eat a fat man in one bite..."

Tang Yichen said calmly: "Today's progress is still very big. Dad's Tang character is written very well, and my little brother's Tian character is written very well."

"hey-hey……"

After receiving the praise, the bitterness on their faces disappeared and they smiled brightly again.

"Knock, knock!" Someone knocked on the door. Qin Huiyin said from outside, "Uncle Tang, big brother and little brother, I made some midnight snacks. Do you want to try some?"

Tang Yixiao quickly opened the door.

Qin Huiyin was standing at the door holding wontons. The green onions floating on the wonton soup emitted an enticing aroma.

"Why aren't you sleeping yet?" Tang Yichen said, "Don't wait anymore. Go to sleep and don't spoil them."

"They're learning from Big Brother, what's there to wait for? I thought you'd worked hard teaching them, so I made this midnight snack especially for you. Uncle Tang and I are just taking advantage of you."

Tang Yichen raised the corner of his mouth: "Are you coaxing me like your guest?"

"No coaxing, no coaxing, honestly. You've been tired for so long, eat something to replenish yourself."

Tang Yixiao and Tang Dafu were already starving.

"Brother, I used to think you didn't have to work and only needed to study, and you were the happiest person in our family. Now I know, it turns out you are the one who works the hardest." Tang Yi said with a smile while eating wontons.

"It's not that hard, actually." Tang Yichen said, "Studying is something you should do when you're young. The older you get, the harder it is to remember things. I'm very grateful for your efforts, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to study peacefully these past few years."

"Brother, how is your injury?" Qin Huiyin asked.

"The external wound has scabbed over. As long as you don't get hurt again, you should be fine."

"That's good. Take your time eating. I'm going back to my room to rest."

Tang Dafu ate the wontons and went back to his room, but soon came back in a dejected mood.

Tang Yichen and Tang Yi smiled at him, waiting for him to speak.

Tang Dafu rubbed his head and said, "It seems like the three of us have never slept together, right?"

"Dad, do you think this bed can accommodate three grown men?" Tang Yichen glanced at the narrow wooden board.

Tang Dafu sat down on the bed, got into the innermost part, and said shamelessly, "It's late anyway, and I can't sleep for much longer, so let's just make do with this night!"

"Aunt Li won't let you go back to your room?" Tang Yichen said calmly, "Does she think you're learning too slowly and doesn't want to sleep in the same bed with you?"

Tang Dafu froze with his back to them.

Tang Yichen raised his eyebrows, a look of helplessness flashing in his eyes: "Starting tomorrow, I will only learn two words a day."

Tang Dafu let out a sigh.

Tang Yixiao also felt relieved.

Tang Yichen stroked his forehead and sat at the table with a book in his hand: "You guys go to sleep first, I'll read for a while."

He needs silence.

When Qin Huiyin woke up again, she smelled a delicious aroma coming from the kitchen. She went into the kitchen and saw Li Taohua making pancakes and Tang Luwu lighting the fire. They had already prepared breakfast.

"Why are you getting up so early?" Li Taohua said, "Lu Wu and I will take care of breakfast from now on. You can sleep in a little longer."

"Okay, then I'm going to be lazy."

Tang Dafu was feeding the chickens in the yard. Seeing Qin Huiyin coming out, he said, "Auntie Zhang in the village has an old hen. I'll buy it later to take care of our chicks."

"I'll go!" Tang Yichen said calmly, "and catch a couple of fish."

"You didn't sleep last night, why don't you go get some sleep?"

"Didn't you sleep?" Qin Huiyin asked.

"Asleep." He fell asleep on the desk.

What else could he do? Someone had taken his place, and he couldn't kick him out of bed.

"The grilled fish my daughter made last time was delicious. I'll make it today, and you can give me some pointers." Li Taohua said, "I'll learn a few more dishes in the future. Otherwise, if I leave all the housework to my daughter, she'll become so delicate and rough."

"Then I'll continue to be lazy today." Qin Huiyin said, "It just so happens that I have other things I want to do."

Yesterday she planned to make her own skincare and toiletries. Those products required a lot of raw materials, some of which she had to buy, and some of which she had to find in the mountains. She decided not to go into the city today, but to go for a stroll in the mountains.

After eating the scallion pancakes made by Li Taohua and drinking some corn porridge, Qin Huiyin went up the mountain with a backpack on her back.
