Chapter 170 The Older You Get, the Lazier You Get
"Okay, you guys think about what's more convenient, and also think about how to mark it. It would be best to write down the date when it was made, so that you can calculate when it can be shipped out.
You can still remember a little now, but when there is more in the future, how can you remember so many things with your brain, don’t you think?”
Xiao Caoer deliberately let them be responsible for soap production, and also encouraged them to put forward their own ideas. It is good to have your own ideas, and you can't just listen to others. How can you do big things without your own ideas?
Making soap is a big deal for them now, but it is just a small thing for Xiaocaoer.
As long as Xiaocao wants, she can do many such little things. But the older she gets, the lazier she becomes to think of ways to make money. She just wants to lie down all day long.
I can only say like Old Mrs. Yang: Alas, they have grown up and I can’t control them. I can’t control them at all.
While Xiao Cao'er was daydreaming, two young couples on the other side were discussing how to avoid mixing up the production dates.
"Yes, a good memory is not as good as a bad pen. We learned a few words before, and now we don't remember many. We need to recognize them again carefully." Goudan said.
"Yes, let's study it together again then." Tietou agreed.
Liu Fang and Azhi looked at each other and said, "We haven't learned it yet, Brother Goudan, while you're learning, please teach us. Otherwise, we won't understand and will make mistakes. We can't rely on you to do everything, right?"
"Okay, we'll all learn together then."
The two couples talked about learning to read for a while. They became happier and happier as they talked. I didn't know what they were talking about so happily.
Xiao Cao waited until they were done laughing before saying to them, "Knowing how to read is a good thing. If you don't know a word, feel free to ask me. My brothers have taught me a lot of words. I can't say I know them all, but I've basically learned the ones I use every day."
"Okay, that's great. Just now we were discussing who to ask if there are any words we don't recognize." Azhi said.
"Nowadays, many children in the village can recognize some words. You can ask anyone. If they don't know, just come to me and I will tell you if I know it." Xiao Cao'er couldn't tell them that she knew it all. She could only say that she might know it, after all, she had never been to school.
As for the fact that he could read, his family told others from the beginning that it was Damao and his friends who taught him. When Simao was learning, Xiaocao also followed him and learned beside him, and gradually he was able to recognize a lot of words.
As for how much he has learned, no one outside knows, not even his family members know.
I only know that in the past, whenever the brothers Da Mao had any questions, they would go to ask Xiao Cao'er, and Xiao Cao would be able to explain everything to them.
Da Mao asked the same question to the teacher in the academy, and the explanations he got were roughly the same. At that time, the brothers were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped.
The brothers thought their sister was a real genius and that she should take the imperial examination, where she would surely win the top spot.
Xiao Cao immediately stopped them from thinking this: "I learned it in my dream. If others knew that I had learned so many books since I was born, how would they look at me? I would be a monster instead of a genius."
The family thought about it and it was true. You see, any child can speak eloquently at birth, can recognize words at the age of two, and can recite poems at the age of three. It is already amazing. What’s more, Xiaocao can recognize words as soon as he is born?
So the whole family kept the fact that Xiaocaoer could read a secret, not even from Li's maternal grandfather. Later, when the elder brothers went to school and Xiaocaoer was a little older, he claimed that he had learned some from his brothers.
Xiao Caoer usually only reads the books she takes out from the Xinhua Bookstore in her room. When she is not reading, she puts them back into the bookstore or hides them by herself. She dares not tell anyone else.
Everyone had just finished arranging all the soaps they had made over the past two days when they heard a bustling noise outside and the voice of Old Lady Yang.
"Hey, you guys are back. Come on, come on, go back to the house and sit down and rest for a while."
"Milk, we're back."
"Grandma Dashan, we are back."
It was Da Mao, San Mao, Simao, and Yang Bailin who came back.
"Okay, okay, okay. You must be tired after sitting in the car for such a long time. Grandma will make you something delicious later." Old Mrs. Yang said happily.
Several grandsons go to the provincial capital to study and don't come back once for one or two months. In fact, the provincial capital is not very far away. They can leave in the morning and arrive home in the afternoon by horse carriage. It's just that the school usually has one or two days off, and they spend all their time on the road, so they can come back on weekdays.
"Thank you, grandma. I haven't eaten anything made by your grandma for a long time. I'm so craving for it." Simao said to Grandma Yang.
Here Xiaocaoer and his friends also came out from the backyard. When they saw their brothers, Xiaocaoer ran over like a little butterfly.
"Brother, you are back."
Da Mao stretched out his hand to catch his sister, "Run slower, what if you fall later?"
After saying that, he looked his sister up and down and didn't find anything wrong. She had the same smile as usual, but she had grown a little taller.
"It seems like he's grown a little taller."
"Really? Why don't I feel like I've grown taller?" Xiao Cao'er was also speechless about her own height.
I was about 1.7 meters tall in my previous life, but I may not be that tall after coming here. My current height is really short compared to the children in my previous life.
Not to mention that Old Lady Yang was afraid that the grass would grow into a short and fat man, the grass itself was even more afraid.
But this height is very normal for children nowadays. Due to the current low living standards, many children do not get enough nutrition, resulting in short stature.
"Hey, hey, sister, are you only seeing Damao? Can't you see that fourth brother is also standing here?" Simao said dissatisfiedly.
"What about me?" Sanmao also said.
Xiao Cao'er snorted at them, turned around and called to Yang Bolin, "Brother Bolin."
"Hey, our Xiaocao'er has grown taller, but seems a little thinner." Yang Bailin really likes Xiaocao'er. He has no younger sister and is close to Damao's family, so he likes Xiaocao'er like his own sister.
When Xiao Caoer heard Yang Bolin say that she had lost weight, she quickly said, "I haven't lost weight. I just grew a little taller as you said, and then I felt thinner because I became taller. But in fact, I haven't lost weight."
