When Lin Ruoshan came in the next morning, Daiyu had already put on her clothes and washed her face. However, her hair was tied askew and the quilt was folded awkwardly.
He blinked in surprise.
Daiyu blushed.
"It's okay." The uncle comforted his niece. "When I was chased out of the house by your grandfather for the first time, I was even worse than you when I went out alone."
The little girl was so angry that she laughed and snorted.
Lin Ruoshan didn't do anything that day. He just took Daiyu and taught her step by step how to fold the quilt, comb her hair, fetch water, boil water, and wash the clothes.
He slowly learned the easiest and simplest things.
There were some things that Lin Ruoshan didn't know how to do. For example, combing the little girl's hair. He went to ask the aunt next door.
Daiyu was weak, but it didn't matter. He could take it slowly.
Daiyu would cry quietly at first.
Lin Ruoshan let her rest for a while and went out to bring her a candy figurine.
Daiyu bit the candy figurine and snorted again. Then, she smiled. She continued to learn these things that she didn't need to do at all in the past.
After she finished washing the first and thinnest piece of clothing. The autumn tiger was already fierce, and her body was covered in sweat. Lin Ruoshan asked her to have lunch.
She finished an entire bowl of food.
In the afternoon, Lin Ruoshan held a "ceremony".
He hung the piece of clothing that Daiyu washed on a pole. Then, he brought Daiyu to watch it dance in the wind under the sun.
The rainbow-colored water droplets fell under the sun.
"Look, over there, it's the past. You can throw it away and wear a new one tomorrow. "He pointed in the direction of Bi Jia's house.
"Now, over here, you have to say to it: Hurry up and get rid of it."
He pointed to the wet clothes that were blowing in the wind and drying in front of him. "Because you have to wear it in a few days."
Daiyu laughed until she burped. She immediately covered her mouth to hide her indecent behavior and said to the piece of clothing sullenly, "Hurry up and get rid of it."
After that, she still asked gloomily, "Ah, I really have to wear old clothes in a few days? Let's return the books we bought and buy new ones, okay? "
Lin Ruoshan also laughed until he burped. Then, like a little girl, he immediately covered his mouth and said sullenly, "Haha! No. "
Daiyu thought: Oh, then. Actually, she liked this belt that she had washed for the first time in her life. It was quite pleasing to the eye.
In the afternoon, when the sun was not so strong, Lin Ruoshan said, "Alright, I can go and study now."
He spread out the books, such as "The Peony Pavilion", "The Biography of True Jade", and "The Investiture of the Gods" in front of Daiyu and asked, "Which one do you want to read?"
Daiyu was stunned. "Decent people read these?"
Her uncle said, "Are we 'decent people'? Am I? Or are you? Decent people who write eight-legged essays? "
"You still shouldn't read them."
Lin Ruoshan pondered for a moment and took out the Western books he brought from Bi Jia's house. He smiled and said, "How about these?"
Daiyu blushed and admitted honestly, "I've finished reading them."
Finally, Lin Ruoshan smiled faintly. "How about this one?"
A stack of manuscripts was taken out and placed on the table.
Daiyu suddenly became mute.
Lin Ruoshan laughed and suddenly said, "Come, go to the corner and sit on a chair. There's an ant nest there. "
Daiyu didn't understand.
Lin Ruoshan said, "Carefully identify a hundred different ants. Then slowly write ten essays and write down the similarities and differences of these hundred ants. "
Seeing that Daiyu still didn't move, he laughed. He laughed, "You —"
He shook the manuscripts. "Didn't people say that the details are distorted? You can finish those ten essays and then re-examine your own manuscripts. "
Daiyu's eyes lit up. After a long time, she called out, "Uncle …"
Lin Ruoshan was a little embarrassed by his niece's gaze. He thought for a moment and deliberately imitated Lin Ruhai. He put on a straight face and said, "Go!"
Daiyu really walked over, took a chair, and sat there to look at the ants.
He muttered to himself, "Sigh, it can't be like what Big Brother said, that I've taught her to be a scoundrel …"
Actually, it was just that he loved this child too much.
He would teach her whatever she liked.
Anyway, he never cared about what many people cared about.
Besides, there were only two people left in the Lin family. It was no big deal to be happy.
He whispered to the clouds in the sky, "Hey, Big Brother, don't hit me when I go down in the future."
As he was thinking, Daiyu turned around and asked, "By the way, Uncle, why isn't there any travel notes in your book?"
"Look at the ants," Lin Ruoshan said and scratched his face. "Why do you want to read other people's travel notes? Isn't it good to read it yourself? The Yangtze River is so wide, the Yellow River is so majestic … "
"Then do I have to read other people's travel notes?"
"No need," Lin Ruoshan said.
Daiyu's eyes lit up again.
Lin Ruoshan felt that he was done for.
