Yan Jin and Yu Shu were very speechless.
Most children were originally afraid of heights. The parents deliberately hung Guoguo in a tree and had her recite books. At first, Guoguo might have obediently recited out of fear, forgetting that she was sitting in a bamboo basket.
But when Guoguo got tired of reciting and poked her little head out from the basket, she immediately remembered that she was hung in a tree. How could she not be scared into crying? ①
After laughing, Li Min lowered her head to ask Guoguo, “Today you stayed up there for half an hour. How was it? Did you recite it?”
Guoguo mumbled, “I recited. Just, just not very familiar.”
“The effect is not bad.” Li Min pondered. “Then later we’ll have to let you stay for another half an hour.”
Yu Shu couldn’t bear to watch. He bent down to meet Guoguo’s eyes at the same level. “Guoguo, can big brother take a look at your book?”
“Ah Yu, you know characters?” After saying that, Li Min’s husband laughed at himself. “Of course, Ah Yu looks like he comes from a scholarly family. Naturally well-read in poetry and books. If I had known earlier, I would have thickened my face to ask you for guidance.”
Guoguo timidly glanced at Li Min. Under her mother’s prompting gaze, she handed the book to Yu Shu.
“I only know a few commonly used characters. How can that be considered well-read in poetry and books.” Yu Shu took the book and laughed, “Providing guidance is even more out of the question. Guoguo looks like a smart child. I don’t dare teach her wrong.”
Yu Shu saw the book title on the cover that was identical to the traditional characters of the motherland. The smile at the corner of his lips deepened. “If Guoguo has characters she doesn’t know, I can teach her how to read them. Other than that, I’m afraid I can’t be of much help.”
Although Yu Shu said he couldn’t be of much help, after taking the book, he read a few pages and had Guoguo read along with him.
Guoguo still remembered this big brother who rescued her. She naturally obediently read along with Yu Shu.
[If this were my other favorite, I would shamelessly fantasize that this scene is my husband bringing our daughter. But for Yu Shu, it’s a big kid bringing a little kid, without any impure thoughts.] [+1, Yu Shu’s face, although it is indeed very good-looking. But thinking that he just came of age not long ago, it also suppresses the mind from wandering.] [The people before are too pure, making me embarrassed to speak up.]Seeing his usually restless daughter now obediently reading along with Yu Shu word by word, Li Min’s husband was extremely delighted. He hurriedly invited the two to sit inside while he went to the kitchen to prepare tea and snacks.
Li Min saw this harmonious scene of the big and small and elbowed Yan Jin, nodding towards Yu Shu’s direction. “Ah Jin, don’t you have any other thoughts?”
“What thoughts?” Yan Jin didn’t understand.
“The thought of taking in a virtuous and sensible young man as a husband!” Li Min glared at Yan Jin as if she couldn’t bear to see her so useless. “Although we’re meeting for the first time, you look good and are clearly a very good person at a glance. That’s why I’m telling you these heartfelt words.”
“Your brother here is good-looking and has a gentle personality. Seeing him every day from morning to night, I refuse to believe you don’t have any other thoughts in your heart.”
“I can’t have such thoughts. A rabbit doesn’t eat the grass by its burrow. Besides,” Yan Jin recalled the tiny bits of gossip she had seen online before and sighed, “if I got together with him, he would die.”
