Boss, He’s Becoming a Father - Chapter 155
Shao Yu glanced at the fourth, although the fourth did not speak, but his eyes shifted with a little guilty conscience.
Shao Yu did not continue to say more, but after teaching the routine of character recognition, he taught the fourth child how to write his name.
Zhao Yong.
“A person’s name contains the expectations of the person who named it.” Shao Yu said softly.
The fourth child traced his name several times in silence before asking, “What are your expectations?”
“Your father was a scavenger, and he took money from dead people to support his family. Do you know what he hated the most in his life?” Shao Yu asked.
The fourth child looked at Shao Yu.
Shao Yu said: “When the world was in chaos, he wanted to join the rebel army, but he didn’t go.
“He doesn’t seem to be very brave.” The fourth child rarely said such a long sentence.
Shao Yu said, “Who doesn’t want to be a brave person?
“What burden can he have?” The fourth child was puzzled.
Maybe she was talking about her father, Xiao Qi also got close to her brother at this time and listened to Shao Yu talking about the past.
“At that time your mother had you.” Shao Yu said.
The fourth was stunned.
Shao Yu continued: “He can also join the uprising army and leave, but in troubled times, your mother is a weak woman, how can you raise a child in her belly?”
“He stayed, supported you, and saved me with what he found from the dead.”
The fourth looked down at his name.
Shao Yu said: “Afterwards, he took us to join the mountain bandits. Even when we got to the mountain, he spent most of the time in the mountain helping with internal affairs, so you always think he is not brave.”
The fourth child really thinks so. Although the fathers of all the children are gangsters, they are all green forest heroes who rob the rich and help the poor, but it seems that only his father has any heroic deeds.
Shao Yu said: “The stockade gate was breached that day, he could actually leave.”
The fourth raised his head and stared at Shao Yu.
Shao Yu said: “But he did not leave, but like their parents, he gave you children a chance to live. He and others fought **** to the last moment.”
The original body was launched by several brothers together. Because he is the youngest, he is not married and has no children, so he is also a child in the eyes of several brothers.
Others can’t go and don’t want to go, so everyone gives the chance to the original body and the children.
“Your parents are heroes, they are very brave, and they expect you to be a brave person.”
“They gave us a chance to live, and we have to live well.” Shao Yu said.
Zhao Yong lowered his head, his hand holding the branch and writing was trembling.
Shao Yu did not continue, but turned to look at the other children.
The tragedy of the destruction of the cottage seems to have been a long time ago, and it seems that it is still yesterday, but after experiencing such a catastrophe, not everyone can easily come out.
Zhao Qiqi put his little hand on his brother’s, and the two brothers held a branch and slowly wrote the word “Zhao Yong” on the ground.
“It’s not difficult to write.” Zhao Qiqi whispered, she was afraid that her brother would be too tired to study again, and she was afraid that she would not even have dinner.
“It’s not difficult.” Zhao Yong said softly.
Although Zhao Yong’s writing speed is not fast, and his movements are even very mechanical, as if his mind is not on this, but when Shao Yu takes the teaching examination, he can write his name very smoothly .
At night, the stars were hung in the sky, and a group of people sat in the yard again and told stories.
“Does anyone really make thousands of taels of silver by relying on the method taught in the book?” The third child asked with longing.
Shao Yu nodded lightly and said, “Many good methods are hidden in books, just waiting for people to discover.”
“I thought the way to make money was all passed down from generation to generation.” The third child sighed.
Shao Yu said: “The family secret method is indeed passed down by word of mouth from generation to generation, but there are also many people who are not stingy about the knowledge they have mastered.”
“Why?” The third child did not understand.
Shao Yu said: “Because for many people, it is not important whether it is their blood relatives or not. What is important is that knowledge can be passed down.”
Get a good night’s sleep.
After Shao Yu got up the next day, the children got up from the bed one after another. up.
When the fourth child entered the kitchen, Shao Yu distributed work to him.
The fourth child didn’t say a word of rebuttal, and started to do it slowly after taking over the job. Although it can be seen that he is very unskilled, at least his mentality has become very positive.
On the contrary, it was Xiao Qi, who kept urging his brother by the side, for fear that he would not have food if he moved too slowly.
Shao Yu did not allow Xiao Qi to help, and many times other children couldn’t be urged, but Shao Yu still waited for the fourth, and when the water in the pot was all boiled, she did not urge the old Fourth, he watched him diligently deliver the washed rice.
The boss is impatient, and he couldn’t help complaining when he saw this.
The fourth is slow in doing things, and the reply is slow, but after saying “I’m like this”, he no longer pays attention to the impatient eldest sister.
After breakfast, the children all rubbed their hands and waited for Shao Yu to take them up the mountain.
Even the fourth child, who has always been lazy, has a look of anticipation on his face.
Shao Yu took a group of children up the mountain with an order, but compared to yesterday’s harvest, today because of the perfunctory traps, not a single rabbit was seen.
The kids were all disappointed.
The two older children showed a little guilty conscience on their faces. After all, such perfunctory traps were all created by them.
Shao Yu comforted them and said, “Yesterday’s traps are left in yesterday, and today’s traps must be done well.”
Although Xu Ming had a guilty conscience, he still expressed his dissatisfaction and said, “Dad, just catching rabbits and not eating rabbits, I have no taste at all in my mouth.”
Shao Yu said: “Do you only feel the taste in your mouth when you eat meat?”
Xu Ming nodded vigorously. Many times he felt that he was alive just to eat in one bite.
“The delicious food in the world is not just meat.” Shao Yu said.
Xu Ming didn’t believe it, and said, “There is nothing better than meat. I eat too many leaves, and I feel like my tongue will be broken.”
Shao Yu smiled and said, “I’ll change the way today.”
No rabbits were caught today, only leaves and wild fruits were brought down from the mountain.
Even these leaves and wild fruits, etc., were smashed by their group for a few days, and the tree was about to be bald.
“Look,” Shao Yu said.
When Xu Ming heard this, he stared at Shao Yu intently. He only felt that after saying this, Shao Yu’s temperament changed.
He doesn’t look like a father struggling to get by with his children, but like a cook in the most gorgeous restaurant cooking in public, with confidence in his eyebrows, looking at the ingredients in front of him The expression is also very focused.
Shao Yu cleaned the leaves in his hands, drained the water, and then began to chop them with a knife.
Soon, a bunch of leaves disappeared, replaced by a small mountain of debris.
After processing the leaves, Shao Yu took out the wild fruits and started processing them very carefully. The children wanted to help, but he refused.
Xu Ming watched very seriously. He watched Shao Yu’s flowing movements with a different kind of beauty, and he couldn’t help but want to imitate it.
When Shao Yu cooks seriously, she seems to forget everything that is happening around her, and she can only see the small world in front of her.
When he finally stopped, everyone could smell a fresh scent that seemed to wrap the whole summer.
Shao Yu raised his hand, opened the lid of the pot, and inside were neatly arranged green pastries.
The cake was square, crystal clear, and small enough for one to swallow.
“One piece per person, be careful with scalding.” Shao Yu distributed the cakes to the children.
The boss is the most anxious, even though Shao Yu has reminded her, she still eagerly stuffed it into her mouth.
As soon as she ate it, she started to cry, but because the taste was so good, she was reluctant to spit it out, so she could only swallow it vaguely, and after eating, she started looking for cold water everywhere to drink.
Seeing the frizzy appearance of the boss, Xu Ming shook his head. He looked at the small cakes, sniffed lightly, and fully felt the beauty contained in the fragrance. He opened his mouth and took a light bite.
The unknown green pastry is not only crystal clear, but also has a little elasticity. When you taste it in your mouth, the taste buds gradually open, and the sweet and sour taste makes Xu Ming feel that he eats it in one bite The next is the coolest summer.
He couldn’t help but close his eyes and feel it carefully, as if he felt the soft wind blowing gently from his ears, making him forget where he was, making him completely forget that because there was no The irritability that arises from eating meat.
The third child took the cake and made sure it wasn’t so hot, then ate half of it in one bite, and then his eyes lit up.
After she swallowed the mouthful, she looked at Shao Yu with burning eyes and said, “Dad, can you do more? If you sell it, you will definitely earn a lot of money.”
Shao Yu was not surprised by what she said, only said: “If you want to sell it, make it yourself.”
Although the youngest stared attentively just now, Shao Yu often moves too fast, and it is difficult for her to memorize it all.
“I can’t do it,” said the third child.
Shao Yu gave a helpless look.
But the third child did not give up, but came over and said, “Dad, you are done, I will sell it, you will take 90% of the money you earn, and I will take 10% of the hard work. , okay?”
The little girl did have an idea. At this time, she had begun to lure Shao Yu with money, but Shao Yu still shook her head.
The third child said: “This is not for me, this is for this family, my father’s craftsmanship is so good, I promise that as soon as this cake is taken out, it will be robbed.”
Shao Yu said: “Your idea is very good, but you need to think more about it, even if I am willing to do it for you, are there so many leaves for us to do?”
The third child was stunned when he heard the words, but quickly said: “In the depths of the forest, there must be such a tree.”
Shao Yu nodded lightly.
The third child showed joy on his face and said, “Dad, it’s not too late, we will go up the mountain to find leaves in the afternoon.”
Shao Yu said: “There are not only trees in the depths of the forest, but also wolves and tigers. I will take all of you up the mountain and wait for the beasts to attack. At that time, I can only protect one or two. Child, you are the initiator, I will never protect you.”
The third child immediately heard that Shao Yu was refusing, and a look of disappointment appeared on his face.
After eating the cakes, the fourth child on the side still looked lazy, seeing the third child depressed, he seemed unintentionally and said: “Can this kind of tree be planted at home? “
The third child immediately cheered up and said, “We plant it in front of the house and behind the house. We don’t need to lean on the trees on the mountain, we can pick it at home.”
“How long does it take for a tree to grow?” Shao Yu asked.
The third child was not discouraged and said: “It may take several years, but if you start planting now, you will be able to make money in a few years. If you never plant it, you may never be able to make money from it. .”
Shao Yu nodded and said, “As long as you think clearly.”
The third child looked at the other brothers and sisters, but except the second and fourth, everyone else was reluctant to this matter.
After all, this is not Shao Yu’s order, nor is it something that can generate income for the family immediately, and may even be very tired, so they naturally don’t want to.
The second child is willing to help because he wants to eat.
As for the fourth child, he was still chasing after the third child and asked: “Do you want to plant trees? How? How many? How much will you give me in the future?”
Although the fourth child is lazy, his brain moves very quickly, and this time the third child is stopped.
After all, the third child just had an idea and didn’t have a very detailed plan, so he immediately turned his head to look at Shao Yu as if asking for help.
Shao Yu said, “If I teach you how to plant trees and make cakes, how much do you earn and share with me?”
“Dad!” The third child couldn’t help shouting, as if he couldn’t believe that Shao Yu actually calculated money with him.
Shao Yu said: “Brothers will settle the account, I don’t want you to blame me for being biased in the future, so it’s better to settle with each of you.”
The third child said, “When you taught Xiaowu how to pick herbs, you didn’t say that you should count money with her.”
Shao Yu said: “She collects medicine to earn money to hand over to her family, will you be sure to hand it over?”
The third child stopped talking immediately, she wanted to earn this money because she wanted to save money for her private house, but it was not as noble as Xiao Wu’s purpose.
Shao Yu said: “You can calculate other accounts clearly, don’t you even understand this account?”
There are seven children in the family, it is very difficult to get a bowl of water, and Shao Yu has been working hard to be fair.
So even if he knew that only Xiao Wu wanted to learn to collect herbs, he would bring other children to teach together. As for whether they can learn it or not, it is their own business, but Shao Yu will do it in education. to be as fair as possible.
The third son turned his head quickly and said, “If you teach this pastry to everyone, I have learned it, but others have not learned it, will I still give you money?”
Shao Yu laughed, shook her head, and said, “You know what I’m thinking, but not everyone wants to learn, unless you persuade them to come.”
The third child looks at the others.
Others think differently.
Although Lao Liu thought the pastries were delicious, he couldn’t help but ask, “Are we not eating? We’re not full.”
Shao Yu smiled and said, “I’ll make lunch right away.”
Xu Ming followed directly behind Shao Yu, not only to help out, but also to steal the teacher.
“Dad, you were not a cook in the cottage before, why are you so good at cooking?” Xu Ming couldn’t help but ask.
This matter has been in his heart for a while. Although he didn’t know that his adoptive father had changed the core, he was the first to notice the taste of the things he made.
Shao Yu said: “When I cook alone, I’m always in a hurry. With someone helping me, I naturally have time to think about it.”
Xu Ming thought that before, Shao Yu had been working hard to raise their seven children, because he was the orphan of his righteous brother, he had always been reluctant to let the children do too much work, and he was all alone. housework.
Until he was tired and sick, and when he woke up, he started to set rules for the children as if he had figured it out.
“If I can always eat delicious food, I want to give my father a lifetime.” Xu Ming said.
“Don’t you want to do it yourself? The food you make yourself may be extra delicious.” Shao Yu said.
Xu Ming’s mind moved when he heard this.
He gradually felt that Shao Yu’s movements slowed down, as if he was teaching.
Shao Yu didn’t explain it deliberately, just slowing down his movements would make Xu Ming feel that he had learned.
“Anyone who wants to learn how to cook with me?” Shao Yu asked the other children.
But the other kids are obviously not very interested.
The third child watched for a while and immediately lost interest after seeing that Shao Yu was teaching the most basic knife skills.
“Knife work looks simple, but it’s really the foundation of cooking.”
Shao Yu said this, Xu Ming did not dare to slack off, and he studied more and more seriously.
Shao Yu taught for a while and gave the knife to Xu Ming.
“Can I?” Xu Ming was a little flattered.
Shao Yu nodded.
Xu Ming just got started, his movements were a bit clumsy, and the things he cut out looked very messy.
After taking a look at the fourth brother who was adding firewood to the stove, he said leisurely, “It has to be cut diagonally here, idiot.”
Xu Ming heard the words and immediately remembered, it seemed that Shao Yu really cut diagonally.
Shao Yu glanced at the fourth child and asked, “Would you like to try it?”
The fourth brother shook his head in silence, turned his head, still staring at the stove in front of him.
When teaching character recognition in the afternoon, Shao Yu originally thought that he needed to give the fourth child time to catch up with the progress, but he did not expect that after watching his brothers and sisters dictate it once, the fourth child was already able to dictate it. .
He still had that dull and lazy look on his face, as if he didn’t realize what he had done.
Everyone thought he would come to the bottom, but the fourth child became the fastest learner. After Shao Yu taught him once, he could learn.
After recognizing the words, Shao Yu taught Xiaowu to recognize medicine, and the others did not listen very seriously because they were not very interested in this matter.
The third child, who originally wanted to study hard, listened to it for a while, because he was really not interested in collecting herbs, so he wandered into his own business of making money.
Shao Yu didn’t force them to learn about herbs, so she didn’t care about other people’s attitudes.
Just waiting for the exam, when the fifth is still stumbling, the fourth has already reported the answer.
“Fourth brother, you obviously didn’t listen.” Xiao Wu said in surprise.
The fourth said weakly: “You can remember it after listening to it once.”
Xiao Wu looked shocked.
Shao Yu did not comfort her either. When Xiao Wu walked out of the house in the next day, she would encounter more blows. This little disturbance at home is really nothing.
When the night fell, the other children were going to sleep, but Shao Yu held the fourth child.
“I want to sleep too.” The fourth said word by word.
Shao Yu said, “You’re the last to get up today, don’t be the one who sleeps the earliest.”
The fourth child sat down beside Shao Yu reluctantly and asked, “What do you want to say to me?”
“I only thought about you being lazy, but I didn’t expect you to be smart.” Shao Yu said.
Hearing this, the fourth child was not too happy, and said, “I won’t be a drag on you.”
Shao Yu said: “Is it just an improper drag?”
The fourth child’s eyes immediately became alert and he said, “Be awake, I really don’t want to move.”
He was sitting next to Shao Yu at this time, and he also looked like a cartilaginous head, leaning against the door panel without any form.
“The world won’t be in chaos for too long.” Shao Yu said.
The fourth said: “What does this have to do with us.”
“Wait until the new emperor ascends the throne, and then the imperial examination will be opened.” Shao Yu said.
“What does the opening of the imperial examination have to do with me, the son of a mountain bandit.” The fourth child is very clear about his own understanding.
Shao Yu said: “At the beginning of the new dynasty, the sea is open to all rivers, and no one will care about this.”
“I don’t want to mess around.”
Although the fourth eldest still didn’t know what the imperial examination was, he already felt that Shao Yu seemed to want to put a heavy burden on him, and his instinctive reaction was to refuse.
Shao Yu said: “You think that if you don’t play, it will be easy to live. In fact, the more you do this, the more tiring you may become.”
The fourth child does not speak.
Before his adoptive father fell ill, he did live very easily.
But if he wants to live, in this house, he must move.
“You only see the hard work of this road, but you don’t see how magnanimous this road will be once it is cleared.” Shao Yu said.
Although the fourth is lazy, he has a good brain. He can remember many things just by looking at them. He taught cooking, herbs, and even literacy. once again.
He doesn’t seem interested in anything.
Such a person who can do anything, Shao Yu hopes that he will take the most open path in the future.
King Chen has already won the hearts of the people and will soon be able to dominate the world. At that time, the reading club will once again become the most friendly way to ascend for people from poor families.
