Chapter 260 Su Xiaoxiao teaches Da Bao to practice calligraphy
Su Xiaoxiao brought out a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. After grinding the ink, she picked up the brush, lightly dipped it in the ink, and wrote a character on the snow-white Xuan paper.

"Su"

Then Su Xiaoxiao pointed to the words on the screen and asked Da Bao.

Da Bao shook his head. "Mom, I don't know him."

“This is my mother’s surname, Su.”

Su Xiaoxiao taught Da Bao and Xiao Bao to recognize characters little by little, and also corrected Da Bao's way of using a pen.

"You know that's not how you take this money, right?"

Su Xiaoxiao paid special attention to correcting Da Bao's pen-holding posture. Practicing calligraphy is indeed a long and arduous task. If the posture is incorrect, all subsequent efforts will be in vain.

Following Su Xiaoxiao's movements, Da Bao began to adjust his pen-holding posture. This was only because of Da Bao; Su Xiaoxiao would not have taught anyone else in this way.

After all, no one has that much patience unless it's their own child.

That's why some parents yell at their children over homework; they're just overthinking things.

If you can't finish it, you can't finish it. In the end, the teacher will talk to the child, not the parent.

The teachers even talked about collaborative education, and some even asked parents to help grade homework, which is ridiculous.

Parents not only don't earn the teacher's salary, but they also have to help complete the teacher's job of grading homework.

Not only that, in addition to various tuition and fees, students also have to give teachers red envelopes and gifts from time to time during holidays or other times.

I don't know who fostered these bad habits in teachers in this society; it's utterly speechless.

After dipping the pen tip in ink, it began to make strokes on the paper.

Su Xiaoxiao held onto Da Bao's hand until he wrote three characters before finally letting go.

"Da Bao, give it a try. It's okay if you don't write it well!"

Su Xiaoxiao tried to comfort Da Bao, who took a deep breath, regulated his breathing, and then began to write.

Su Xiaoxiao noticed that he actually wrote quite lightly. Whether he was a little worried or didn't know what, Su Xiaoxiao always felt that Da Bao was too nervous, which was why his writing was always crooked.

Looking at his own ugly handwriting and comparing it with Su Xiaoxiao's, Da Bao felt even more depressed.

"You're just nervous, Da Bao. Just practice a little more. Actually, recognizing and writing characters both take time to work out; you can't learn them all at once."

Da Bao then suppressed his earlier nervousness, held his breath slightly, and wrote out the characters stroke by stroke as Su Xiaoxiao had instructed.

Soon, Da Bao finished writing on a page.

Su Xiaoxiao observed from the side and thought that Da Bao was actually quite smart. Da Bao showed Su Xiaoxiao the page he had finished writing.

Su Xiaoxiao kept praising Da Bao and giving him a lot of encouragement.

"Dabao is so amazing. He can write his own name and mine too. Come on, let Mom teach you a few more words."

Su Xiaoxiao took out a new piece of paper and wrote a few more words on it.

This time, she didn't continue holding Da Bao's hand to write, but instead told him to write according to his own ideas.

Having no other choice, Da Bao had to imitate it exactly.

"How about it?"

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Da Bao and saw that Da Bao had become somewhat confident.

This shows that Da Bao is quite confident, and Su Xiaoxiao was very satisfied after seeing this. She patted Da Bao's head and praised him, "Da Bao is great! With more practice, you'll definitely write better and better."

Da Bao felt a little embarrassed after hearing that.

He smiled shyly.

By evening, Pei Yuan still hadn't returned, and Su Xiaoxiao was quite worried. After all, this was the first time Pei Yuan hadn't been by her side, and he had left without saying anything to her.

However, Su Xiaoxiao also knew that this person had probably gone to find Tang Xiaoman.

But what will the talks lead to? Will Tang Xiaoman finally give up on him? Even if it means risking disobeying the Emperor's decree, will he really sever all ties with Tang Xiaoman?
As for whether Pei Yuan would make such a big decision, Su Xiaoxiao wasn't very confident.

However, Su Xiaoxiao always felt that Tang Xiaoman was a crazy woman, and she was afraid that breaking off the engagement would be too much of a blow to her, so she couldn't bring herself to do anything worse.

Seeing that Pei Yuan already knew the reason for her injury, Su Xiaoxiao decided to go home and stay there.

Since the two children still needed to attend the private school, Su Xiaoxiao bought them some delicious food, as well as some vegetables, meat, and fruit in town to take back with her.

Su Xiaoxiao stored all the uneaten food in the cellar.

Su Xiaoxiao tilted her head and asked the two children, "What are you two planning to eat tonight?"

Da Bao said happily, "Mom, there's so much delicious food! You can make anything you like!"

Su Xiaoxiao bought a lot of food this time, and she was actually very happy.

"How about we stir-fry some cured pork, stew some chicken tripe, and make some braised chicken wings?"

Looking at the dishes, Su Xiaoxiao quickly decided on the delicious dishes she would make in the future.

"it is good."

Da Bao and Xiao Bao nodded immediately.

Just hearing the names of the dishes made Da Bao and Xiao Bao's mouths water. They both swallowed hard, and Da Bao even volunteered, "Mom, let me help you start the fire!"

Da Bao had always been so obedient in helping Su Xiaoxiao start the fire, and this time was no different.

"Why are you so well-behaved!"

Su Xiaoxiao had finished starting the fire, and now only Da Bao, Xiao Bao, and Su Xiaoxiao were at home.

She then thought back to the night she first traveled through time, when Da Bao so obediently came over and said he wanted to start a fire for her.

However, things were indeed difficult before, but now it's different. Su Xiaoxiao smiled as she put the ingredients into the bowl and said to Da Bao, "Da Bao, be good and go wash these vegetables with Xiao Bao!"

Da Bao and Xiao Bao went to the well to wash vegetables, while Su Xiaoxiao was alone in the kitchen cutting sausages and fresh meat.

"Mother, everything is washed."

When Da Bao and Xiao Bao brought in the washed vegetables together, a hint of joy appeared on Su Xiaoxiao's face.

With both children so obedient, they were practically little angels. How could Su Xiaoxiao not feel overjoyed?
Su Xiaoxiao truly understood the feelings of being a mother at this moment.

That is the greatest comfort, isn't it? It's that the child you raised is well-behaved, sensible, and understands how hard it is for his mother to live.
Because Su Xiaoxiao was worried that the two children would get hurt if she used a knife, she didn't ask them to come and cut the vegetables; she had already cut them herself.

Su Xiaoxiao said to Da Bao and Xiao Bao, "You two go play over there. You can take the snacks and other things that Mom bought for you today."

The two children happily took the snacks and started eating.
