The family mbers had all gone to work, leaving only the siblings at ho.
Xu Mumu ate the egg. This year, life at ho was quite good, with eggs often being part of the al.
"Eldest sister, eldest sister, what are we going to learn today?" The children were sitting in the courtyard and had moved out a table. Studying and writing under the sun was quite comfortable.
"Let’s learn English today, English writing." Xu Mumu thought for a mont and said. Recently, the children had been spending more ti learning French, temporarily setting English aside.
"How do we write an English composition?" Tiedan felt totally at a loss since he was the worst at studying among them.
"I taught you many sentence structures, didn’t I? Just use them! The dictionary is here; try as much as you can to use the words you’ve learned." Xu Mumu placed the Oxford dictionary on the table.
Despite the children’s expressions of distress, Xu Mumu assigned a relatively common topic and left them to work it out themselves. After all, they had read enough English articles to have a basic idea of how to write.
The children got busy, while Xu Minghui was still idling around.
Holding her younger brother, Xu Mumu took Xu Minghui’s books and began to quiz him.
Alright, there was no escape this ti. Xu Minghui felt a headache coming on, but he obediently accepted the knowledge spot-check.
Fortunately, he had studied these things while at work. If he dared not to, his sister would certainly give him a hard ti.
The spot-check results were satisfactory, so Xu Mumu returned to her room to retrieve a test paper that Yin Yang had found. So of the repeated questions she hadn’t done before, so now was a good ti to test Xu Minghui’s learning outcos with it.
At ho, all the older and younger kids were being arranged to study, and Xu Mumu was quite pleased to see them all struggling with how to write.
Having learned a lot, these little ones were also ranking top in school and were sowhat proud. It was a good ti to give them so challenging problems.
She put the little one on her lap and took out her own notes to read.
Xu Xue ca out from the kitchen and saw the house filled with people studying, almost like a class at the village school.
Honestly, she sowhat envied this environnt, but she didn’t have that much ti to study.
Luckily, in her previous life, she had learned a lot, so she didn’t have to work as hard in this life.
There were still more than half a year until the college entrance exams, and she had ti to review properly.
The exams would only be held in winter, and it would be in August when they would announce the resumption of the college entrance exams. It was only April now, still early.
Xu Xue was not anxious at all. She had already bought the necessary reference materials. Besides earning money and taking care of her brother, she would also read, and she could understand most of what’s in the books.
Thanks to that scumbag from her previous life, she had learned a lot while chasing after him back then.
Thinking about that scumbag, Xu Xue’s face darkened montarily. He was living in the provincial city now, and any plans for revenge would have to wait until she got into college.
Their small county was quite far from the provincial city, almost at the edge of Yuning Province. It would take a whole day’s ride to get there.
But that person could be set aside for now; she couldn’t wait to deal with soone else.
In her previous life, she was forced by her grandparents to marry that widower. This year, he was supposed to beat his wife to death. She rembered the timing, it was next month, and she would definitely be the first to report him to the police, making sure he spent the rest of his life behind bars.
She really wanted revenge on the big house, but with Xu Mumu there, she didn’t dare to. Sotis, she was even afraid to et Xu Mumu’s eyes.
It was as if Xu Mumu knew all her secrets, and she didn’t dare take any risks.
The little baby being held by his sister was grabbing her long hair and pulling it hard.
Her head hurt from the tugging, and Xu Mumu looked helplessly at the little one.
"If you pull my hair again, I’ll smack your hand." Xu Mumu freed her hair from the little one’s grip and tied it up in a bun, preventing any stray strands from falling.
She placed her finger in the little one’s hand for him to hold. His hands were soft, and he gripped his sister’s hand but also tried to lean over and bite a few tis.
It was the first ti Xu Mumu realized her younger brother was so lively and active. No wonder their mother went off to work, leaving the little one at ho with the siblings.
"Sis, I finished. Can you check if I got it right?" Xu Minghui approached Xu Mumu with the test paper, looking quite troubled. The questions were so hard that he felt his head hurt from scratching it, barely managing to write anything. Studying was really hard.
Placing the paper on the table, Xu Mumu checked it. Seeing Xu Minghui’s work, she felt a bit of a headache. He hadn’t practiced much, and the knowledge he had learned wasn’t applied effectively.
Based on the questions Xu Minghui did, he had written a lot of useless stuff and didn’t even understand the question’s intent.
"Brother, co sit here. I’ll explain it to you slowly." With no other option, Xu Mumu took the pen from Xu Minghui’s hand and wrote out the detailed solution process while explaining it very carefully.
"Oh, that’s how it is." Xu Minghui suddenly understood. With his sister’s explanation, it was like a cloud clearing to reveal the blue sky.
"Do you know how to do it now?" Xu Mumu looked at Xu Minghui.
"I think I do." Xu Minghui was a bit unsure.
"Here’s another similar question; try solving it so I can see." Xu Mumu flipped the paper over, found a question similar to the previous one, and had Xu Minghui solve it.
He continued to work on the problem, and Xu Minghui felt very troubled but had no other choice.
After explaining the question to Xu Minghui, Xu Mumu realized the little one had wet himself. So she went to attend to her little ancestor.
After wiping the little one’s body and changing him into a clean diaper, Xu Mumu was exhausted. The little one had been squirming around while she was cleaning him, and she couldn’t use too much force, worried about hurting him.
After changing the diaper and checking the ti, Xu Mumu prepared so milk powder for the little one. With milk to drink, he finally cald down a bit as she gently patted his back.
"The little rascal is quite a handful." Xu Mumu squeezed the little one’s tender cheeks, feeling the softness beneath her fingers.
After playing around for so long, the little one began to doze off after having so milk powder.
Once the little one fell asleep, Xu Mumu moved him to the bed. By then, Xu Minglei and the others had almost finished writing their compositions.
"Big sister, this is what I’ve written." Jiaojiao shyly placed her writing in front of Xu Mumu. Writing a composition in English for the first ti, they were all at a loss, unsure even of how to start.
