When they were about to reach home, a hint of cunning flashed in Shen Li's smart eyes. She closed her eyes slightly and concentrated her thoughts.

In an instant, the furry, cute puppy and the colorful pheasant were gently picked up by an invisible breeze and quietly moved into the bamboo basket she was carrying.

After doing all this, Shen Li ran towards the door like a happy little deer.

The two little tufts of hair on her head were swung crookedly, as if they were as happy as she was.

However, she did not realize that behind a large tree with lush branches and leaves not far away, there was a man staring at her with a vicious look.

The man's name is Qian San, and he is a notorious gangster in the village.

No one knew when he started having an affair with Widow Zhang, but the two of them were sneaking around together all day long.

On that day, Qian San sneaked into Widow Zhang's yard.

In that slightly dim room, after making love, Qian San comfortably hugged the woman in his arms with a lewd smile on his face.

He said in a dirty tone, "You stupid bitch, you want to eat meat after just two days of not seeing me?" As he spoke, he kissed the woman's powdered face again and again.

As for the widow, she was so amused by his appearance that she laughed repeatedly and reached out her hand to push his face.

She scolded him, "I invited you here today, but I need your help with something!"

Although Qian San was a gangster, he knew in his heart that if he did some things, he would go to jail and be beaten.

He subconsciously poked his cheek with his tongue, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

He said, "What's the matter? Let me make it clear first, I won't do anything like murder or arson. Although I'm a gangster, I'm my father's only son. If anything happens to me, he won't be able to bear it."

When Widow Zhang heard this, she thrust her body upwards and slipped into Qian San's arms like a slithering snake, saying in a soft and tender voice, "Oh! What are you thinking? How could I hurt you? I can't bear to leave you!"

When Qian San was teased by her, the evil fire in his body suddenly rose up again.

His hands began to get naughty, groping Widow Zhang all over her body, but he still patiently asked her, "What's the matter? Tell me! You've made me horny again! Hehe!"

So, Widow Zhang leaned close to his ear and whispered a lot of ideas, all of which were insidious tricks to plot against Shen Li.

When Qian San thought of this, his brows furrowed and he pondered secretly in his heart.

He clearly saw Shen Daya put the wolf cub into the bamboo basket.

Logically speaking, the wolves should have chased her madly, so why did they let her go so strangely?

It's a pity that when he saw a group of wolves, he was so scared that his legs went weak and he didn't dare to stop at all, for fear that the wolves would smell him and find out that he was the one who took the wolf cub away.

Shen Li walked briskly back home and went straight to the backyard.

She took off the bamboo basket on her back and poured it onto the ground. The pig grass in the basket scattered sparsely, and the pheasants and puppies mixed in it also rolled to the ground.

She had already cut the pheasant's wings short with a sickle. After all, the pheasant was very wild. If its wings were intact, it would have flown away with a flap of its wings.

After dealing with the pheasant, Shen Li bent down and picked up the puppy from the ground.

The puppy has a small body. When its butt is lifted, its four short legs kick around in the air, looking very funny.

Shen Li dragged the puppy back and forth, and soon arrived at the front yard.

At this time, Zhang came out from the inner room. When she looked up, she saw Shen Li dragging a snow-white puppy in her hand. The puppy's fur was fluffy and soft, like a moving snowball.

Zhang's face was full of surprise. She couldn't help but ask, "Daya, where did this paparazzi come from?"

Shen Li's face was filled with pride, and she answered crisply: "I found it in the mountains!"

"Mom, I saw it all alone in the mountains. It looked so pitiful, with no one around. So I thought of bringing it home."

After she finished speaking, she seemed to have suddenly thought of something important. Her eyes sparkled, and she asked cautiously, "Mom! Can we have a pet at home?"

Zhang looked at her daughter's hopeful eyes, her heart softening as she said gently, "Of course! If you like it, just keep it!"

Just then, Shen Xuan, who was reading in the room, heard the noise outside.

He wanted to calm down and study hard, but this scene made it difficult for him to concentrate. The words in front of him were like naughty tadpoles, and they could not get into his head.

Helplessly, he put down the book in his hand and walked out quickly.

As soon as Shen Xuan went out, his eyes were attracted by the puppy in his sister's hands.

His eyes widened in surprise, and he stood there hesitantly for a while before walking towards his sister stiffly.

Before he could say anything, Shen Li quickly stuffed the puppy into his arms.

Shen Li said with a smile: "You want to hug me, right? Touch me quickly!"

She thought to herself, "Fluffy! No one can resist! Not even men! Hehe, I'm a smart one!"

Shen Xuan took the puppy unexpectedly. The soft fur felt very comfortable to the touch, and he couldn't help but touch it hard twice.

However, he still had a reserved expression on his face and said, "Sister, I'll give it back to you. Playing with it will only ruin your ambition!" As he said that, he was about to return the puppy.

Shen Li was immediately amused by her brother's old-fashioned behavior.

She didn't reach out to take the puppy, but instead crossed her arms over her chest.

She said to Shen Xuan, "Today, I'm going to tell you a term called 'work-rest combination'. I want to ask you, what does work-rest combination mean?"

Shen Xuan was originally bending slightly to tease the puppy at his feet. After hearing Shen Li's words, he immediately stood up straight like a puppet being pulled in a straight line.

He cleared his throat and said seriously, "It means combining work and rest. The word '逸' originally refers to a state of ease and comfort. Here, it means rest."

"In this world, work and rest must be combined."

"That is to say, in life, we need to work hard with all our might, but we can't just keep our heads down and work hard all the time. We also need to take adequate rest."

Shen Li's eyes lit up, a cheerful smile spread across her face. She clapped her hands lightly and said crisply, "Yes, the same principle applies to studying."

"When you're reading, you should concentrate and study seriously. But if you get tired of reading, you should have some fun to relax yourself."

"After all, only by combining work and rest in this way can one be more efficient in studying!"

After saying that, Shen Li seemed to suddenly remember something, and put on a serious look, staring straight at Shen Xuan.

He said slowly, "Your parents worked so hard to support your education, but they didn't want you to just memorize books."

"If you just study hard all day long, not only will you tire yourself out, but you might not even get any good results."

When Shen Xuan heard this, his body seemed to be frozen, and he stood there stiffly for a long time without moving.

After a long while, he seemed to come to his senses and quietly moved the cute puppy that was wagging its tail at his feet to the side of the ground.

Then, he straightened his clothes and bowed deeply to Shen Li respectfully. His posture was as standard as that of a little servant who had undergone rigorous training.

He said sincerely, "I've been studying for two years and have been in school for two years. I thought I learned a lot and understood a lot."

"But after listening to what my sister said today, I realized that I am not even as good as my sister who has never been to school."

"Sister, I, Shen Xuan, have really learned a lesson today! Don't worry, I will definitely not just study hard like before."

Seeing Shen Xuan being so serious, Shen Li was a little flustered. She waved her hands quickly and stepped back unconsciously.

While dodging, he said, "Hey, we are all family, why do you have to do this! Please don't do this again!"

At this time, Shen Li turned around inadvertently and saw her father Shen Shaodong standing not far away.

Her eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had seen a savior. She quickly ran over in small steps and hid behind her father.

She even stretched out her little head, made a face at Shen Xuan, and said in a sweet voice, "Daddy! Look at my brother! He's like a little old-fashioned person, so serious, it's scary!"

Shen Shaodong looked down at his daughter hiding behind him, his eyes full of doting, the corners of his mouth slightly raised with a faint smile.

He said to his son who was standing there: "Your sister is right, we are all family."

"At home, there's no need for so many formalities. You're really a bit old-fashioned."

When Shen Xuan heard what his father said, he immediately bowed to his father and said respectfully, "Yes, father, your son will follow your teachings!"

Seeing this, Shen Shaodong suddenly looked helpless, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he secretly complained in his heart: Why is this child so rigid?

Shen Li was also a little amused and helpless. She stuck her head out and looked at Shen Xuan's well-behaved appearance, and was speechless.
