"Did you remember what I just told you?"

Pei Xuanli taught some content to all the students, rested for a while, came to Zhou Baoer for the second time, and asked.

Zhou Baoer skillfully pretended to be a good girl, nodded, and replied.

"Yes, Master, I have already written it all down."

Pei Xuanli said as usual: "Then please explain the meaning of this sentence."

"Okay, Master."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Baoer said the meaning of the passage he had just learned and understood. Although there is no difference, they are roughly the same.

Pei Xuanli nodded with satisfaction and pointed at the opened Three Character Sutra, preparing to read on and teach new content.

At this moment, Zhou Baoer looked up and asked.

"Master, is human nature really good?"

Pei Xuanli raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Why are you asking me this question?"

Zhou Baoer thought for a while and replied.

“I have seen children flooding ant nests with water unscrupulously. I have also seen children offer to sell their younger sisters for food without hesitation. I have even heard of a child putting his younger brother into a pot of cold water and cooking it cruelly with his own hands. Familiar things.”

People nearby who heard these words were startled and showed expressions of disbelief. What kind of person can do such a thing? It's really terrifying. .

Pei Xuanli was also shocked. After hesitating for a moment, he asked.

"What you mean is that you don't support the idea that sex is inherently good."

Zhou Baoer nodded and replied.

"Yes, Master."

Pei Xuanli asked again: "Then do you support the view that sex is inherently evil?"

Zhou Baoer shook his head and answered negatively.

"Master, I don't support this view either. I have met many people, even if they have not read books, they still maintain a kind nature."

Pei Xuanli didn't have any objections to this point, and nodded again and said.

"Since you don't support the idea that sex is inherently good, nor do you support the idea that sex is inherently evil, what do you think a person's nature is like?"

Zhou Baoer shook his head again and responded.

"Master, I don't know. I only know that human nature is inherently good and inherently evil."

Pei Xuanli smiled slightly, patted Zhou Baoer's head gently and said.

"What you said is very good, and what you did is also very good. But this matter is not something you, a little kid, should consider. When you grow up and have a certain reputation, you can go with people who have the same problem as you. Explore the real answers.”

Zhou Baoer tilted his head and asked with confusion on his face.

"Master, don't you know the answer too?"

Pei Xuanli nodded without thinking and replied.

"That's right, I don't know either, and no one can answer this question."

Zhou Baoer nodded, indicating that he understood. After thinking about it, she felt that what the master said was reasonable. No matter what the answer is, there are people who can provide different arguments and cases. It is extremely difficult to find a unified point of view.

"Okay, stop talking."

Pei Xuanli took back his old hand and continued.

"Now I will teach you the next content. You must listen carefully and study carefully. If you don't understand anything, ask me in time and I will answer it for you."

Zhou Baoer nodded and started studying seriously.

The morning passed quickly. A group of students from the gifted class quickly put down their books and hurried out of the classroom. Then, we had a good meal in the cafeteria of Huai'an Academy.

Among a group of people, some people run at a fast speed, some people run at an average speed, and some people run at an extremely slow speed. Therefore, they come to the cafeteria at different times and obtain food at different times.

In addition, some people eat more, some eat less, and the speed of eating varies. As a result, the sixteen students who left the classroom in almost the same minute finally returned to the classroom in batches.

Although Zhou Baoer has fast feet and eats very fast, she can't stop eating a lot. So she took her younger brother He Tingxiao, who also ate a lot, and became the last group of people.

When she returned to the classroom, everyone was having a lively discussion. The chirping sound almost echoed through the entire room. Their voices can be heard from far away.

Zhou Baoer and his younger brother He Tingxiao entered the classroom. After sitting in their respective seats, he asked the person in front of the desk.

"Sister Kang, what are you discussing?"

Kang Yuanyue turned around and replied with a smile.

"We are discussing now, what should we learn in the future?"

"What?"

A trace of surprise flashed across Zhou Baoer's face and he asked in confusion.

Kang Yuanyue smiled slightly and explained slowly.

"You may not know that Huai'an Academy will teach everyone in the afternoon to learn various aspects of knowledge. If we are interested, we can go to the class and deepen our understanding. There are quite a lot of courses, such as music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine and tea, etc. , each one."

Zhou Baoer understood immediately and asked again.

"Sister Kang, does learning martial arts count?"

Kang Yuanyue raised her eyebrows and asked with a frown.

"You want to learn dance? There is someone to teach you, but I don't think you are suitable. Lan Zhengxiang, on the other hand, has an incredibly soft body, so he can learn a special kind of dance."

Zhou Baoer waved his hand and explained quickly.

"Sister Kang, you misunderstood. I didn't mean learning to dance, but the martial artist who danced with swords and guns."

Hearing such words, Kang Yuanyue relaxed his brows and said with a smile.

"So you want to wield swords and guns. I thought you wanted to learn dancing? But then again, you have the innate talent of divine power, so you are indeed very suitable for learning martial arts. If you know more about the art of war, you may be able to learn martial arts in the future. She will become a famous female general. Although there are few female generals in history, there are not none. All of them are heroines and will be remembered for generations to come."

Zhou Baoer smiled when he heard this, nodded again, and said.

"Sister Kang is right, that's what I think."

Not only does she want to become a female general, she also wants to take over the entire world.

——

After Chen Chen had lunch and walked around Huai'an Academy, he calmly returned to his office.

"General Huang, please find a few people over in a while and ask them to teach the students how to ride horses and archery. Not to mention how they can become elites, at least they must be able to do it. If anyone knows who has left my hands, even horses I can’t even ride a horse, I can’t even shoot a sword, I’m really embarrassed.”

"Yes, General, I understand."

General Huang performed a military salute, turned around and left in a dignified manner. Chen Chen was left to look at the sky and lowered his head again.

As time went by, the hottest part of the day soon passed. Chen Chen stood up from the futon behind the desk, got up and left the office.

He now walked around various school districts and found his grandchildren in different classes, and then took these blood relatives to the legendary gifted class.

When six people, one large, five small, and one small, came here, the people in the gifted class were taking a nap. They were either lying on the table, lying on the lap of a familiar person of the same sex, or casually falling asleep on the soft cushions.

After Chen Chen walked into the classroom, several of them opened their eyes, either with clarity or looking out the door in a daze.

Zhou Baoer was among these people. He quickly straightened up from the desk, patted He Tingxiao who was not far away, woke him up, and left the classroom with his younger brother.

Chen Chen took everyone in his hands and walked towards the original road. What awaited the seven people was to study as always day after day.

After a fulfilling day of study, Zhou Baoer followed the special path created by his master and returned home under the escort of his master.

After Zhou Baoer returned home, he saw that his grandma and mother had returned to normal. He couldn't help but be very happy, and he teased his younger brother and sister with the two female parents.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Not long after, someone came over again with the same color and pattern as yesterday.

Zhou Baoer frowned slightly, his expression a bit ugly.

On the contrary, Wu Meili and He Hua looked very excited and rushed forward without hesitation.

Zhou Baoer inevitably saw this scene and felt a little self-blame and guilt in his heart. If she could get a lot of money, she wouldn't have to trouble her grandma and mother to work day and night.

This idea flashed through her mind, but was quickly rejected by her. She is still so young, what can she do? For the present, we still need to study hard and learn more useful knowledge so that our family can enjoy happiness in the future.

Soon the group of people left, and Wu Meili and Hehua returned to the hall holding the cloth.

Zhou Baoer curled his lips and asked reluctantly.

"Grandma, mother, are you going to stay up all night tonight?"

Wu Meili noticed her eldest granddaughter's worry, patted Zhou Baoer's head and said.

"Don't worry, grandma, your mother and I have had enough rest during the day. It doesn't matter if we stay up late tonight. The worst thing is that tomorrow will be the same as today, sleeping in bed all day."

Zhou Baoer said with worry: "Grandma, mother, you have to pay attention to your health and don't let yourself get sick. Otherwise, even if you make more money, it will be useless."

"Good boy, grandma knows."

Wu Meili patted Zhou Baoer's head again and said with a smile.

"Baoer, if you are strong enough, just move the table out of the room. Your mother and I will cut this fabric while there is still some light."

Zhou Baoer nodded quickly, first put the things on the table aside, then got directly under the table, stretched out his hand and pressed it under the table, walked steadily forward, and landed in the courtyard.

Wu Meili and Hehua also moved a chair out, took the things and started to deal with them.

Nothing is easy, this is a big truth.

Even for an ordinary piece of clothing cutting, it took two adult women almost two quarters of an hour to work together.

Zhou Baoer looked aside for a while, then moved his eyes away without interest. Then, she looked at her younger sister and younger brother playing in the hall, and went to take care of them like a sister.

At dawn the next day, Zhou Baoer received training in the military camp, and when he returned to the gifted class at Huai'an Academy, he received a complete set of school uniforms.

A top-and-sleeve top made of blue fabric with white patterns, soft beanie shoes, and a finger-width headband.

Zhou Baoer and his classmates immediately changed into clothes in a secret place, and when they came out, they all looked at each other.

Because the children are not yet developed, and they are wearing the same clothes and having the same hairstyle, it is hard to tell whether they are boys or girls.

Spring fights for the day, summer fights for the time, five yellow and six months fight for the columbine.

In the midst of studying day after day, it’s time for busy farming in the summer.

At this time, the weather is very hot, the fields are very busy, and there is no need to stop for a moment.

When this day came, the three brothers took leave and went home to help the family.

Not only them, many students who were born in rural areas and whose families paid a lot of money to support them also asked for leave, wanting to help their families spend these busy days.

Among the masters in Huai'an Academy, there are also people who understand the farming season. They were not embarrassed and agreed very easily.

Zhou Baoer has experienced such days for several years, so naturally he knows what he wants to do now? She also took a leave of absence and planned to go home to help.

When asking for leave, Pei Xuanli looked at the little girl with a very strange look and asked.

"You're still young, what can you do, how can you help?"

Zhou Baoer pouted and retorted without any conviction.

"Master, although I am young, I can still help. I am so strong that I can help transport things to the house and do many, many jobs."

Pei Xuanli shook his head, and finally agreed, letting Zhou Baoer leave Huai'an Academy. And in the next few days, stay away from the quiet place of Huai'an Academy.

After getting a holiday from Pei Xuanli, Zhou Baoer was escorted home by his master and told his master his decision.

Chen Chen glanced at the busy men and women in the fields and felt that activities such as harvesting and planting were no better than physical exercise, so he also agreed.

Zhou Baoer and the three Zhou brothers returned home together and offered to help Wu Meili with the farm work, which prompted Wu Meili to slap him in the face.

"Are you going to piss me off? Why don't you study hard at Huai'an Academy? Especially you, Bao'er. You are only a little older, and it's not your turn to do the work in the fields."

"Grandma, I'm strong. I can help you. I don't want grandma to be too tired."

Wu Meili's movements were not heavy, and the blows did not hurt at all. After Zhou Baoer was attacked, not only did he not avoid it, but he hugged Wu Meili's thigh and said coquettishly.

As soon as she finished speaking, Wu Meili felt that her blood bar was empty and sighed deeply.

"Good children, you are all good children."

Needless to say, what happened next was that the whole family worked together to harvest and plant seeds. The golden wheat field was as turbulent as the ocean, but it filled everyone with the joy of harvest.

Zhou Baoer's job is very simple, that is, while fully armed, he takes the wheat cut by his family from the field and puts it on the oxcart, then carefully delivers it to a flat ground, and then takes the wheat down to dry it.

With the family united as one, everyone quickly finished the harvesting process. Then the next step is the equally important stage of seeding. It sounds very simple, just plowing the fields and planting seeds. But when it came to the end, it was so difficult that it made people despair.

Without machinery, people could only farm by hand. Even though Emperor Taizu invented the famous Quyuan plow many years ago, farming is still a difficult daily activity.

Fortunately, the big family headed by Wu Meili not only owns a big scalper of their own, but also a Quyuan plow that has been circulated all over the country.

Even though this big ox is no longer in its prime, its energy is not as strong as it used to be. Although the Quyuan plow is well maintained, it is still half-worn.

However, it is undeniable that something is better than nothing. Look at many families. Just because they don’t have oxen or plows, they can only wait for others to finish the work so that they can lend a hand.

In the field, a big ox was walking slowly in front. Zhou Dalang carefully controlled the curved plow and moved slowly behind. As the soil tumbles, yellow rice stalks are pressed beneath the soil.

Under the bright sun, Zhou Dalang soon became sweating profusely under the double blow of exhaustion and heat. He wiped his neck with a wet towel and continued walking forward without saying a word.

Zhou Baoer walked to the field wearing a big hat and a kettle that had been soaked in the well, and shouted to the people in the middle of the field.

"Dad, please stop for a moment and take a sip of water. It's freshly picked up from the well. It's very cool and will definitely quench your thirst."

Zhou Dalang looked up at his eldest daughter and replied loudly.

"Bao'er, please wait in a cool place. Dad will be here soon."

"good,"

Zhou Baoer responded and walked to a tree to rest. Because there is no direct sunlight, it is much cooler than other places. Occasionally, a gust of wind blows, which can bring a little bit of coolness.

Zhou Dalang said it was very fast, but in fact it couldn't go any faster at all. After a full cup of tea, he took the big ox and the plow from the middle of the field to the ridge of the field.

Zhou Baoer hurriedly ran over, eagerly handed over the kettle in his hand, and said.

"Daddy, drink."

"good,"

When he said this, Zhou Dalang originally wanted to raise his hand and touch Zhou Baoer. But when he saw his hands covered with dirt and sweat, he stopped immediately.

"Bao'er, please wait a moment, I'll wash my hands first."

After saying that, he untied the connection between the big ox and the plow, and tied the ox to one side to eat grass and drink water from the ditch. Then he squatted down and washed his hands in the ditch.

Zhou Baoer leaned over again and handed the water bottle in his hand to the front.

Zhou Dalang didn't refuse this time. He took the kettle and wanted to drink it in big gulps. Suddenly, he thought of something and immediately stopped his rude movements and began to taste it in small sips.

Well, although this kind of big-leaf tea is only drunk by ordinary people, it has a bitter yet sweet taste, and has a unique flavor. On the contrary, he was not used to drinking Tieguanyin, Puer and the like.

While Zhou Dalang was drinking water, Zhou Baoer was not idle either. She curiously came to Qu Yuuli's side, helped Qu Yuuli up and started studying.

Just looking at it a few times, you can't tell anything. So, she controlled the Quyuan plow to walk up and down the field. It didn't take a while for her to figure out how to use it.

After drinking the entire pot of water, Zhou Dalang felt much more comfortable. When he was about to put down the kettle and continue working in the fields, he heard a series of exclamations coming from around him.

A trace of confusion flashed in Zhou Dalang's eyes. He turned around and was stunned. Who can tell him what is going on

Zhou Baoer now raised his two small hands high, placed them lightly and deftly on the tips of the plow, and rushed forward quickly.

The plow and shovel quickly broke through the land, turning over layers of soil and pressing down the withered and yellow rice stalks.

The hard soil and the heavy curved shaft plow seemed like a piece of paper that could be easily torn into several pieces.

What surprised Zhou Dalang even more was that the fields cultivated by Bao'er were particularly neat. It was even more powerful than him, a farmer who had lived for many years, as if he were drawn with a ruler.

Shitou is from the same village as Zhou Dalang, and he is also from a nearby family. Even the fields of the two families are very close to each other.

He was stunned like many others when he saw Bao'er's seemingly playful but actually rapid plowing method.

But soon, Shitou came to his senses, and immediately came to Zhou Dalang, who was still standing on the ridge of the field and had not reacted at all, and said with an earnest expression.

"Da Lang, I think your fields will be plowed soon. Then you can lend me your big ox and plow, okay?"

"I said Stone, you are so stupid."

Uncle Gen, who also came from a distance, laughed and cursed, and said.

"It's better to borrow oxen and plows than to borrow them directly from others. Look at our treasure, it's more oxen than oxen. Even oxen can reach heaven."

Shitou felt a little aggrieved, couldn't help but frowned, and said to Uncle Gen.

"I'm not saying that because Bao'er is still young, I'm worried that Dalang won't be willing to do it!"

Uncle Gen glanced at Shi Shi and shook his head slightly. Then, he looked at Zhou Dalang with an excited and smiling face.
