126 Biting Off More Than You Can Chew
He had a special preference for practicing martial arts to strengthen his body, and he loved horses and weapons. The morning and evening classes were the happiest times for him, and he didn’t feel tired at all once he started practicing.
“If that’s the case, then I’ll learn how to do business from Mother in the future. Money is a good thing. It can buy anything. We won’t have to worry about being hungry in the future.”
Ever since Er Bao had been forced by Mo Ruyue to think that money was earned to spend, he had been suppressed by Da Bao’s frugality for a period of time. However, since the seed had been planted, it would emerge sooner or later. Now, just as he was about to make a move, Mo Ruyue “poured water” on him at the right time.
Since he couldn’t take the path of the imperial examination, why not change it? In the future, he would do business with his mother and make a lot of money so that his siblings and mother could spend it however they wanted. They didn’t have to think about it at all, and they didn’t even have to consider whether it was worth it to buy things.
If he was happy spending money, it was worth it. What was there to consider?
Therefore, at this moment, the seed that Mo Ruyue had personally planted finally broke through the soil and grew into a towering tree in an instant. It established an indestructible and immovable goal in Er Bao’s heart. Seeing that none of his younger brothers and sisters had any intention of becoming an official, Da Bao’s heart suddenly became clear.
He originally thought that if he could enter a golden rank high school in the future, he would have enough power in his hands to protect his mother and siblings. However, no matter how high the position was, it could not be higher than the Tian family, so why should he be entangled in this path?
“So what if I can’t take the imperial examination? I don’t expect to survive on this path.” He smiled in relief.
This was the first time Mo Ruyue had heard the babies talk about their plans for the future. It seemed like they really didn’t have any plans to go into an official career.
However, she had also seen Da Bao’s hesitation just now. If there was one person here who had the intention to pursue an official career, it was Da Bao. But why did he change his mind later? Could it be because of the other babies?
Mo Ruyue did not ask him in front of the babies. Anyway, she did not have to make a decision today and there was still plenty of time. She would wait until she asked him tonight.
In the following time, Mo Ruyue still taught the babies according to the prepared textbooks. Now, even the smallest Tang Tang had begun to increase in number. Their level of intelligence was simply unbelievable. No wonder they would become the big villains who would stir up storms and change the world in the future.
“Mother, are these the only lessons for today? I haven’t heard enough.”
Although San Bao was most interested in martial arts and cultivation methods, the stories that his mother told during the lecture were also very inviting. Moreover, many of the allusions involved some historical battles, big and small. It made him very satisfied.
“Don’t bite off more than you can chew. You should first understand today’s matter. Don’t just think about listening to stories. Mother is not here to just tell you stories.”
Mo Ruyue shook her head. They enjoyed listening to stories, but how could they know how painful it was for her to prepare for lessons?
As expected, it was not easy to be an engineer for a human soul.
After class, it was time for the babies to do housework on their own. It was also a time for them to relax and change their minds. Mo Ruyue was in the kitchen preparing dinner. Now, as long as she was at home, she would take care of all the meals.
Since the babies had already started to study, nutrition was even more important. Especially since studying was something that required the brain, so Mo Ruyue’s recent diet was almost all related to strengthening the brain.
The sound of the babies playing came from the courtyard, while Mo Ruyue was busy in the kitchen.
In the kitchen of the mushroom house in her space, there was soup stock boiling. There were two types of meat and three types of vegetables on the stove. Now, the babies’ appetites had increased greatly, and they had to eat meat and drink soup every day to ensure that they had enough strength.
Thanks to the time device, the flow of time inside and outside the space was different, so even if Mo Ruyue entered and left the space in front of the babies, they would not notice anything wrong at all.
However, as the babies’ senses became more and more sensitive, they even noticed the distortion of space twice. They were almost swept into the space-time turbulence when they went to check it out, out of curiosity.
If Mo Ruyue hadn’t discovered them quickly and cleverly led them out of danger, the family would probably have to hold two funerals by now.
After this incident, Mo Ruyue also began to pay more attention. Although she reacted quickly, she never tried to reason with others. She didn’t want to regret it because of her conceit.
Not long after dinner, it was time for night practice.
The babies consciously exercised in the yard, and Mo Ruyue went back to her room to prepare for lessons as usual.
Tonight, her schedule had changed slightly. She didn’t just read and sort out her notes, but went into the medium and came to the side of the herbal field.
The man she had met this afternoon had caused some waves in Mo Ruyue’s heart.
After learning that the old woman she had saved had gone missing, Mo Ruyue had a strange feeling for the first time. From the beginning, her hands only knew how to kill, but the first time she had saved someone, the end result was so unbearable.
This time, after learning that the man’s mother had also suffered from the same illness, it was the first time that Mo Ruyue had taken the initiative to think of saving her.
It didn’t matter if she was shifting her feelings or if she wanted to make up for it. This time, Mo Ruyue wanted to do her best to treat this old woman without waiting for many more treatments.
She directly prepared all the herbs needed from the herbal field, then wrapped them in oil paper and put them in her medicine box. She would only need to wait for the day she went to Huichun Hall to give medical services, and then they would come in handy.
After that, she calmed down and prepared for the class. She didn’t stop until the babies finished their night class.
After the evening class, it was time for the babies to review their homework. Mo Ruyue saw that everyone was seated behind the desk and had already picked up their pens to prepare to write silently. Only then did she say to Da Bao, “Da Bao, come with me for a moment.”
The two of them walked to the courtyard, and Mo Ruyue went straight to the stable. Previously, the babies had already fed the big young mule with fodder and water, but they did not have time to wash its fur. She was prepared to use this time to have a good talk with Da Bao.
“Mother, why are you looking for me?”
Da Bao walked over and watched as Mo Ruyue led the big green mule out and brought it to the center of the yard. As she asked, she went to fetch a bucket of water, soap, and a brush.
“Help me brush Daqing’s fur. I think you have a good grasp of today’s lesson. Even if you don’t study, you should be able to remember it.”
Mo Ruyue was not good at beating around the bush, so when she told Da Bao these things, she did not look at him.
Something was wrong.
Da Bao frowned.
“Mother, did you want me to help you brush Daqing’s fur? I think you have something to say, so just say it. ”
He went straight to the point and spoke more directly than Mo Ruyue.
“I was just about to say it, what’s the rush?”
