Chapter 239 Primary School Diploma

"Mom, we won't think too much about it. Second brother and sister Mei'er are the smartest among us. We are confident in leaving the matter to them."

"Yes, Mei'er has always been the most clear-headed among us sisters. We will be right if we leave it to her." Xu Hui Niang took Mei'er's hand.

"I'm still young, I listen to my mother and aunt, I'll listen to whoever you tell me to listen to!" Sizhu also jumped in front of the two of them and raised his hand to make a promise.

After two months of teaching by Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin, these children's mindsets have changed a lot. They are now completely different from the scattered group they were in the beginning.

Even though the two families have no blood relationship, the children already regard everyone as one family.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin are very satisfied with their current performance, which shows that their education is effective.

"Okay~ Then it's settled. Once your aunt and I leave, your eldest brother and his wife will make all the decisions, and Mei'er and Erhe will take care of the workshop. The rest is about school and the ice jelly business."

"Once we left, all the things fell on you. You must be a little overwhelmed. But you can't slack off on schooling. You still have to go to the village chief's place to go to school when the time comes."

"You just need to find time to prepare the toothpaste, and we will ask your grandfather and his family to help pack it into cans. The rest of the time you should go to school."

"But if your grandfather and his family come to help, Tao'er, you need to prepare more food for them. We will leave some money before we leave. If you don't have enough food at home, you can ask Brother Aji to bring it back or go to the city to buy it. Don't be stingy."

"It's just that you will have to work harder during this period, Tao'er. The other children will also have to help Sister Tao'er prepare. As for cleaning up and washing the dishes, we will follow the order we originally set at home."

"Aunt, it's okay, I'm not tired, I will definitely cook well." Tao'er looked serious, as if she was going to have some difficult task ahead.

"As for selling ice jelly, let's put it on hold for the time being and talk about it when we come back." Duan Minmin thought that the children should not be too tired.

"No, no, the ice jelly business can't be stopped!" Erhe couldn't sit still after these words came out.

"Auntie, the ice jelly business is doing really well recently. If we don't go there, we will lose a lot."

Zheng Yuan found it funny. He was indeed a money-grubber.

"I'm not asking you to stop doing it. We've only been gone for two or three episodes. How come we've lost so much?"

"Mom, now everyone is waiting for our ice jelly every day. They don't like the ones sold outside. If we don't go for two or three markets, people will think we don't make it anymore and buy others'. Then we will lose a lot of old customers."

Wow! You still know how to maintain old customers?

"Besides, I don't think it's a big deal. It's just a matter of preparing toothpaste. After that, we can prepare ice jelly. We can definitely do it."

"Yes, I also think that we should continue the ice jelly business. Ice jelly can only be sold in summer, and there are only a few months in summer. If you miss a market, you will lose an opportunity to make money." Mei'er also felt that they couldn't stop.

"Mom, we are not tired. We cannot stop the ice jelly business."

"Yes, yes, yes, we can't let others snatch our guests away."

......

When they heard that they would have fewer opportunities to make money, the children could no longer sit still and said that this business could not be stopped.

"Okay, then let you do whatever you want. Just be careful on the way there and back. You must move together when you get to the city. If someone says they want to take you to eat delicious food or buy you candy, don't believe them. If you encounter danger in the city, run to a crowded place, or run to find the officials..."

Seeing that the children were indeed full of energy, the two stopped trying to stop them. However, they were still worried and kept giving them some advice.

"We all know it, mother, don't worry."

"It seems there is nothing else to explain."

The two of them went over the things that needed to be explained again to confirm if there were any omissions.

"Oh, by the way, Sanni and Xing'er are still in charge of these ducklings and the livestock at home. If they are too busy, ask them to help." Thinking of the livestock at home, Zheng Yuan gave another instruction.

Seeing that all the children had received individual instructions and tasks, Sizhu looked at Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin expectantly, waiting for them to assign him tasks.

Looking at Sizhu's expectant expression, Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin naturally knew what he was thinking.

I just thought about it over and over in my mind, but I still couldn't find a suitable position.

As the silence in the air slowly dissipated, the four pillars' bright eyes dimmed little by little.

"Sizhu!" Seeing that he was about to cry, Zheng Yuan hurriedly called out.

When Sizhu heard that Zheng Yuan was going to see him, he thought that he was going to be assigned something, and his eyes lit up again in an instant.

"Well... Sizhu, you have to listen to your brothers and sisters these days."

Huh? That's it?

Sizhu, who was still expecting to be given an important task, scratched his ears doubtfully.

Seeing that Zheng Yuan was indeed not going to continue, his face visibly dimmed again.

"Sizhu, what your mother said is the most important." Duan Minmin quickly tried to smooth things over.

"What's so important about just being obedient?" Sizhu muttered indifferently.

"Think about it, you are the youngest in the family, you are only six years old. If you don't listen to your brothers and sisters, they will worry about you, and it will affect the tasks that your mother and I have assigned to them."

"If you are obedient and your brothers and sisters are at ease, you will be able to complete the task better. So, your task is hundreds of times more important than those of your brothers and sisters! Don't you think so?" Duan Minmin lied to the child without blushing or beating her heart.

"Really?" Sizhu was happy again, but still a little doubtful.

Zheng Yuan quietly gave her a thumbs up from an angle that Sizhu couldn't see. It's you who has the ability that was not mentioned.

Duan Minmin reached out and slapped away the annoying thumb and glared at Zheng Yuan.

"Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, ask your mother."

Sizhu turned his head to Zheng Yuan again.

Zheng Yuan held back his smile and nodded sincerely at Sizhu.

"It turns out that my mission is the most important one. That's great. Mother, Auntie, I will definitely complete the mission well!" Sizhu's face was sunny again.

Is that true? The other children looked at Sizhu with a silly smile and wanted to laugh. If they had not eaten many more years than Sizhu, they might have believed it.

Seeing that they had fooled the four pillars, Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the non-existent sweat from their foreheads.

It is indeed not easy to raise a little kid. Child psychology is a big subject.

However, the two were also thankful that the fourth pillar was only six years old. If she had a primary school diploma, she would not have been fooled by them. This was enough to prove the importance of learning.

Sizhu, who was so happy, didn't realize that he was being fooled by his two mothers again, and was still asking his brothers and sisters to tell him what he wanted.

The older brothers and sisters did not have the heart to tell the silly child the truth, so they pretended to give him a few instructions about trivial matters.

"Okay, we have explained everything that needs to be explained. Erhe and Mei'er stay, and the other children can go and have a rest."

Now that things have been explained clearly, the next step is to train the two children to take up their jobs.

The thing itself is not complicated. The two of them just briefly explained it and Erhe and Mei'er knew how to distill it.

However, the preparation of toothpaste requires following a certain order and controlling the temperature. Although the two children remembered most of it after I explained it several times, they were still vague about the details.

Duan Minmin simply found a piece of paper and asked Erhe and Mei'er to write down the proportions and steps on the paper according to what they said, but not in words but in a way that they could understand.

It is somewhat similar to Chen Changan’s registration book, which has its own way of memory, able to write things down without being easily learned by others.
