A blessed wife leads her husband to wealth and prosperity!

The other children in the courtyard accepted Luan Ge's job as a pageboy quite well, probably because he had already explained things to them.

Lin He'er also began to dedicate half a day each day to teaching the children to read.

When it comes to learning, besides hard work, talent is especially important.

With the idea of ​​treating everyone equally, Lin He'er put all the remaining eight children in one place to study.

However, judging from the few classes we've had so far, there are quite a few kids who are just as bad at studying as I am!

As expected, geniuses aren't everywhere!

Of all these, Shanzi is the most troublesome. This child really doesn't like to study. As soon as he starts recognizing characters, the boy keeps shifting his position on the stool. When he sees a character, his eyes are wide open. It's like he doesn't recognize you at all!

That's awful, absolutely awful!

After class that day, Shanzi found Lin He'er and strongly expressed his dislike for studying.

Madam, can I not learn to read along? I feel dizzy looking at those characters!

Shanzi, if you don't want to learn to read, is there anything else you like to do?

Lin He'er felt that teaching children should be tailored to each individual. Since Shanzi really couldn't learn, she shouldn't force him.

After all, learning is inherently a tedious and boring thing. If a child doesn't like it, forcing them won't produce any fruitful results.

Madam, I love fighting!

Fighting? There's no fighting for you in our compound.

I heard from Uncle Meng that being a soldier means you'll often get into fights!

Um?……

When did Meng Xing instill this idea in the child?

Shanzi, joining the army is tough, and you're not old enough to do it.

Ah, am I not good enough for now?

Of course, you're still too young. If I remember correctly, you're only nine years old this year!

Which army wants a nine-year-old?

Moreover, those who join the army do not do so to fight; those soldiers are there to protect the people and their homes.

Shanzi could only look miserable when he heard what his wife said!

Shanzi, why do you like fighting? Lin He'er was still unclear about what Shanzi wanted to do.

I don't like reading, and I don't like sitting on a bench every day. I like running and jumping. Madam, I can't sit still!

Madam, I heard from Uncle Meng that when you join the army, you can fight and spar with people every day, and you can even beat up bad guys.

Um, I want to be a general, please don't laugh at me, madam!

Shanzi spoke of his dream, a look of longing on his face.

Of course not, Shanzi, you're amazing! You already have dreams in your heart and know what you like and dislike!

However, joining the army is not an option now, and even if you do join in the future, the military will give priority to those who can read.

Only those who can read can understand military texts and have a chance to become generals in the future.

Did Uncle Meng ever tell you that he used to serve under General Dingxi?

Marquis of Dingxi was an extremely capable man, skilled in both military strategy and tactics. Do you know why he was so capable?

Lin He'er looked at Shanzi and asked.

Shanzi; I don't know.

Because the general knows how to read military books! If he were like you, unable to even read, how could he read books and learn military strategy from them?

So if you really want to achieve what you desire, the first thing you must do is learn to read. Learning to read is the first step to becoming a general.

Take your Uncle Meng for example. He can read, but he's not a general yet. A general has to learn a lot!

Fighting isn't just about sheer bravery, understand?

Lin He'er didn't know if Shanzi could understand what she was saying to him!

After a long while, Shanzi finally raised his head;

Madam, I understand. To become a general, one must be literate and read more books to become powerful, right?

Yes! Shanzi is very smart, and his thinking is absolutely right!

Seeing that the young man was easily fooled by her, Lin He'er pressed on and said;

Shanzi, you can spend the first half of the day learning to read with me, and the second half learning martial arts with your Uncle Meng. He's pretty good at it. I'll put in a good word for you with him later, okay?

Okay, thank you, madam!

When Shanzi heard that he could also learn martial arts, he jumped three feet high and said that he would definitely study hard to read in the future!

Having resolved Shanzi's aversion to studying, Lin He'er's classes became much more efficient. Indeed, having a goal in mind provides motivation for learning.
