Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan could not possibly treat the Trackers as civilians living at the bottom of society when they saw the Trackers climbing and wading through the water. They were real heroes when they used their rich experience and strength to ensure the safety of the boats.
"If only we had a camera, we could record this moment. When Xiao Bei and the others are older and more mature, we'll show them that there are people like them in the world."
Wang Juan said regretfully.
"Everyone lives the same life, the only difference is the quality of life. It's fine as long as the Trackers know that they're tired. There's no need to put them in a high position. It'll be fine in the future. These people are giving us too little money. Let's stick together. If they don't want to spend more money, we'll cross the river ourselves."
Zhang Xiaobao told Wang Juan as he watched the Trackers moving forward.
"You've arranged everything? Aren't you afraid that someone else will take over if the Trackers don't pull the boats? " Wang Juan was very confident in Zhang Xiaobao's ability. She was just worried that someone else would take over the position if the price was too high.
Zhang Xiaobao shook his head. "Pulling a cable isn't just about physical strength. Let's not even talk about newbies. Even if we ask the Trackers from the other two valleys to try, we'll see if any of the boats dare to be pulled by them. They'll break every single one of the boats. Just listen to the tune. They've turned pulling a cable into an art. It's the experience accumulated from generations of Trackers. "
"What if they find someone to beat them up?" Wang Juan asked.
"Don't worry, we have our dear Grandpa Bi and Grandpa Yao to help us. We can just ask the local authorities to arrest them," Zhang Xiaobao replied with a smile.
"What did they use in exchange?"
"Wontons. We'll go make them later."
"You only know how to bully people."
"What do you mean bully? We have nothing to do anyway. We'll just take advantage of them and suffer some losses. We understand that it's not a big deal. We'll just treat it as a game. Our mentality has always been to transcend the rules. We're just willing to live within the rules. Huh? Little Zhu, Little Bei, and the others are out. Oh my god, isn't this bullshit? "
As Zhang Xiaobao spoke, he turned his head and saw his younger brother and sister dragging a model boat. He didn't know where they found ribbons, but they used them as ropes and hung them on the model boat. Together, they pulled in different directions. Even when the boat was pulled down, they continued to drag it. As they walked, they made 'yo yo' sounds, chanting.
Rushing over, Zhang Xiaobao pretended to be angry and said to the little guys, "Who told you to pull me like this?"
As she spoke, she glanced at the maidservants and male handymen who were taking care of her.
The few of them were frightened. A courageous maidservant explained, "Little Young Master, didn't you say that we should let Little Young Master and Little Young Mistress play whatever they want?"
"That's not the way to play. You have to tell them that the purpose of playing is to learn, not to exhaust their strength. At this time, you have to tell them the rules of carrying the log. If eight people can't carry a log, then six people can change. If six people can't carry it, then four people can change. Let them gradually understand the importance of unity during the process of playing."
Zhang Xiaobao finally said the reason why he was angry. Only then did the maidservants feel relieved. It wasn't that they were not allowed to play, but that they were missing a step.
At this time, the little guys also stopped. Their eyes looked at the most powerful brother in their hearts. Wang Juan's younger sister, Little Zhu, pulled the rope on her shoulders twice and 'sang', "Hey yo hey ~ yo."
"Okay, I'll let you guys pull at the swimming pool on the boat in a while." Zhang Xiaobao was very satisfied with the little guys' way of doing things. If he directly told them to be united, they wouldn't understand. They would understand after a while.
Xiao Bei tried hard to take off the rope on her body and give it to her brother. She cried out anxiously. When Zhang Xiaobao took the rope in his hand and pulled the boat up by himself, the little guys looked at their brother with eyes full of worship.
Zhang Xiaobao enjoyed this kind of worship very much. He said to the maidservants, "Cooperate with them and let them know how to use their strength."
The maidservants took the other ropes one by one and each found a direction and began to pull. Sure enough, they couldn't pull.
Wang Juan cooperated and came in front of Zhang Xiaobao. She pulled with all her strength and said, "Please do this with me."
"I'll do this with you." If the maidservants still didn't know what to do, they would have been kicked out of the inner courtyard.
In order to let the little guys understand, the group talked and walked at the same time.
This time, the little ones understood. After their brother and sister walked one round, they all took over and shouted, "Please do the same with me," and pulled the boat up together. However, after pulling a few steps, they thought of something even more interesting.
Zhang Xiaobao's younger brother asked the others to stop first. He pulled by himself and sang, "Pull the radish, pull the radish, aiyo aiyo, pull the radish …"
"Remember, take them to play like this in the future." Zhang Xiaobao looked at the little guys' serious faces and said to the maidservants with a smile.
This scene happened to be seen by the three old men who came out of the cabin. After Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were busy making wontons and left, Old Man Pi said to Old Man Chang and Old Man Yao,
"See? This is the real education. Don't look at how good the schools and academies of the Zhang Family and Wang Family are. They don't show their real ability at all. When the children grow up and start learning, as long as they learn something, they can understand it according to their previous experience. "
Old Man Chang and Old Man Yao had to admit that the education of the Zhang Family and Wang Family was indeed different from others, but it was the best.
"Now that you mention it, I also remember that the children of other families are told not to do this and not to do that, but the children of the Zhang Family and Wang Family have never been told that. They are always told what to do or demonstrated when they can't do it well.
This won't do, I have to write this down. In the future, when I educate my descendants, I'll write a copy and send it to the palace. I've decided to keep an eye on the children. The Zhang and Wang families always give the children the best things. The best place to sleep, the best food, the best toys, and the best education. As long as the children aren't stupid to death, then they'll all be talents. "
Old Man Yao also agreed and was ready to shift his attention from Xiao Bao and Wang Juan to the children.
This decision was not wrong. After lunch, in the afternoon, Wang Juan and Zhang Xiaobao gave each of the children a set of drawing tools. It was the kind of drawing tools with big circles and small circles. Different small circles were placed in different big circles. No matter how they scribbled inside, they could draw all kinds of beautiful circles or ovals.
There were also crayons of different colors. Wang Juan and Zhang Xiaobao also accompanied them. Wang Juan took a drawing clip and sketched with charcoal strips. Zhang Xiaobao used a brush to draw mountains and rivers. Even the servant girls who served them had changed into simple and elegant clothes. They were either writing or grinding.
All of a sudden, a unique atmosphere appeared. The children, who had slept for an hour, wanted to play. When they saw their older brother, sister, and the people who usually played with them there doing almost the same thing, they changed their original thoughts and picked up their toys to draw.
As they drew, Wang Juan's younger sister did not use tools. She only held a crayon and copied her older sister, drawing whatever she saw.
No one made a sound. They were all quietly doing their own things.
The three old men who had eaten a lot of wontons walked out of the cabin and saw a scene with a special charm in the mountains and rivers. This kind of scene was not something they could bear to destroy. Just by looking, they felt a sense of tranquility in their hearts.
"Why do I feel a little scared when I look at them?" Old Man Chang whispered. He found that what he saw was not a group of children, but a silent battlefield. On the battlefield, tens of thousands of horses stood with spears in their hands. What a powerful aura.
"This is what Xiao Bao and Cuckoo meant when they said that the environment affects people. Remember, children are often affected by the environment." Old Man Pi said with emotion.
The three people quietly walked closer. Old Man Pi had long known about Wang Juan's special drawing method. The people or things she drew were as real as they could be. However, he did not like it, because he felt that it lacked the abstract charm that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan had described. However, Wang Juan did not only draw like this. She drew well, and the other drawing method he taught her was also good.
Zhang Xiaobao was worse. This was compared to Wang Juan. Compared to other children of the same age, he was still better.
The maidservants' drawing and writing were average. After all, they were usually busy with other things and did not have much energy to devote to it. Being able to draw and write was not a skill that ordinary maidservants could possess. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Family's maidservants could do it.
The little ones' drawing toys were not bad. He did not know what they were thinking, but no matter how hard they tried, they would always be able to draw a beautiful picture. The most interesting one was Xiao Zhu. She actually did not use that toy to draw. Could it be that she wanted to draw something like a cuckoo?
Eh? This, this was drawn by Xiao Zhu?
Old Man Bi quietly moved closer and began to be evaluated by the people around him. As he watched, he arrived behind Wang Juan's sister, Little Zhu. When he saw that she wasn't using any tools and was only holding a specially made crayon in her hand, he thought that she was just randomly drawing. In the end, when he saw Little Zhu lying down and drawing, he was finally moved.
If this drawing was placed in the Academy, anyone who drew it would give the lowest rating. It was really too bad. There was only a rough outline, and the water and trees in the drawing only looked like water and trees. Especially that water, the ups and downs were too bad. The trees were not bad, and one could see the branches.
However, this drawing was drawn by a child who was more than one year old and less than two years old. Furthermore, she used a thick crayon and matched the drawing with similar colors. This was not a simple matter.
At this time, Xiao Zhu was worrying about the color of a stone. The stone was yellow, but it was not yellow, and it was not green. The yellow stone had light green moss on it. How could this color match? The crayon did not have a light green color.
Old Man Zhang and Old Man Yao also came over. When the three old men saw that Xiao Zhu had to match the color, they were all worried. Xiao Zhu first used a dark cyan crayon to paint the approximate position, then used a yellow crayon to paint another layer, turning it into a light cyan with a hint of green.
