In the past, Xiao Tiandou always wanted to be lazy no matter what Tang Jiuge taught him. He found it too annoying to read booklets every day.
He also felt that the adults had more thoughts than the last, and if you read them one by one, you would see a bunch of nonsense, expressing their meaning in a roundabout way.
Moreover, he actually didn't understand the things about people's livelihood, such as planting in spring, busying in summer, harvesting in autumn, and storing in winter. They all superficially surfaced on paper.
He actually didn't know what the people's lives were like.
His world is simple yet complex, and the playful nature of a child makes him instinctively reject these things.
And he was born precocious and knew more things than other children of the same age, but these things he understood failed to form an overall picture in his mind.
So he was a little confused again.
Only this time, the horse was hitched, letting him know how hard it is to get dry and hard pancakes, and also letting him know how difficult people's lives are.
Half a pancake in exchange for bird eggs, and a piece of silver in exchange for dry rice helped him string together the things he had seen in the book before.
Xiao Tiandou felt that she was really too ignorant before.
Being a waste in his status is a very happy thing, but for ordinary people, it is a disaster.
Although there were still some things that he couldn't fully understand, he knew that he had a sense of awe for the things in this world.
He may still be naughty in the future because of his young age, but he will never make the same mistake as this time.
So when Ning Guzhou brought him back to the palace, Tang Miaoxin felt that the little guy seemed a little different from before when she saw him at the first sight.
She looked at Ning Guzhou, and he nodded lightly.
Little Sweet Dou stood obediently in front of Tang Miaoxin and said, "Mother, I know I was wrong, please punish me!"
Tang Miaoxin was really surprised when she heard this. This little guy has been naughty and full of evil ideas since he was a child.
He also inherited Ning Guzhou's arrogance, and it was not so rare to be willing to admit his mistakes.
She asked him: "Do you know where you went wrong?"
Little Sweet Pea nodded: "I let the horse out of the stable and drove the horse out to play. I put myself in danger and almost killed myself."
"I act like this and make my father and mother worry about me."
"The most important thing is that if you let the horse out, it will take a lot of people to get it back, which will mobilize people and waste money."
"It makes Qinzhou, which is already not wealthy, even worse."
When Tang Miaoxin heard the last part, she was really shocked.
She really wanted to know what happened to Ning Guzhou when he took Little Sweet Dou out these past few days, which made the little guy mature a lot all of a sudden.
She even wondered if Ning Guzhou had taught Xiao Tiandou to memorize these words to make her happy, fearing that she would worry.
But Xiao Tiandou's expression at this time told her that he was admitting his mistake from the bottom of his heart.
Tang Miaoxin thought for a while and then said: "You realize your mistake, then how do you think I should punish you appropriately?"
But Xiao Tiandou asked her: "After mother punishes me, can I not punish Mo Li?"
Tang Miaoxin was surprised again: "Do you think Li Li should not be punished?"
"He deserves to be punished." Xiao Tiandou replied: "He took me out and ignored me as soon as he saw Sister Shuxiu. This was his dereliction of duty."
"But the real trouble was caused by me, so if mother wants to punish him, she doesn't have to punish him so severely."
Tang Miaoxin was surprised again. Is this kid completely reborn?
She asked with great interest: "Then how do you think I should punish Li Moli?"
Little Sweet Dou thought for a while: "My father and I went out to harness horses for three days. Mother's temper must have punished him."
"My mother has always had a special way of punishing people. I guess she didn't beat him, but tortured him for a longer period of time."
"What I mean is that mother punishes him for ten days. It cannot be longer."
Although he didn't know how Tang Miaoxin would punish Mo Li, he also knew his mother. She would not punish Mo Li corporally, but would most likely torture him.
The corners of Tang Miaoxin's lips raised slightly: "Okay, I can reduce Mo Li's punishment."
"Now tell me, how should I punish you?"
Xiao Tiandou was a little confused. He thought for a while and said: "My mother punished me to copy books and so on. I think it is of no use."
"I can memorize that book once I read it. Copying it doesn't make me calm. Instead, it makes me irritable."
"I see other people's children make mistakes, and the parents at home will beat them up. Why don't you beat me up too!"
Tang Miaoxin narrowed her eyes slightly when she looked at Xiao Tiandou. Xiao Tiandou knew that every time she showed such an expression, she would become extremely dangerous.
He immediately jumped behind Ning Guzhou and hid, fearing that she would use some inhuman means to torment him.
Tang Miaoxin was surprised again when she saw Xiao Tiandou's behavior.
Because of the absence of Ning Guzhou as a father in the first few years after Xiao Tiandou was born, Xiao Tiandou has never been very fond of Ning Guzhou.
Now that something happened, the little guy would actually seek shelter behind Ning Guzhou.
They have only been away for three days, but has the relationship between father and son developed by leaps and bounds?
She had a lot of questions in her mind, but she said: "Since you are bent on fighting, I naturally have no objection."
"But I think just giving you a good beating is not enough. The autumn harvest will be in a few days. Then you will go to the fields to help the farmers harvest for half a month."
Xiao Tiandou was not opposed to this matter, and breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Okay."
Of course, Tang Miaoxin doesn't need to do it herself to beat Xiao Tiandou, and she can't let the guards in the mansion do it.
After all, with Xiao Tiandou's status, how could the guards really dare to hit him.
So the person who took action became Ning Guzhou.
Xiao Tiandou felt the burning pain in her butt, and her mood was a little complicated:
It really hurts when his father hits someone!
Tang Miaoxin applied medicine to him: "Don't worry, by the time of the autumn harvest, all the injuries on your butt will be healed. I guarantee you can work well."
Little Sweet Pea: "..."
He felt that his mother's focus was a little strange.
He reached out and touched Tang Miaoxin's bulging belly and said, "Mother, when will you give birth to your brother or sister?"
Tang Miaoxin replied: "It will be almost done after you come back in Qiu."
Little Sweet Dou thought for a moment and said, "I hope they will come out soon and grow up quickly."
Tang Miaoxin asked: "Do you want to be a good brother and be his role model?"
Xiao Tiandou's voice was softer and a little vague: "Of course not, but I think he might be naughtier than me. After having him, I won't have to be beaten."
Tang Miaoxin: "..."
She wanted to beat Little Sweet Pea again.
But Little Sweet Pea lay there and closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Tang Miaoxin knew that he had not had a good rest these past few days as he followed Ning Guzhou in roping horses.
After all, he was still a child. When he returned home, he felt relieved after being beaten. As soon as he felt relieved, sleepiness began to rise and he fell asleep.
