Chapter 157 Kick Them All Out (2)_1
Qian Wanxiu also smiled and called out to her sister-in-law, "I heard that the gang of bandits were surrounded by the Government Office, so my husband and I only then brought the children back! This time we’ve returned," she said, looking towards Pei Zongli, "we’re not leaving again! After so many years away from father-in-law’s and mother-in-law’s side, unable to fulfill our filial duties, we will naturally serve them well from now on and make up for the lost time!"
Lady Zhu let out a cry, embracing Pei Wenchen and her grandsons, calling them her darlings with tears in her eyes.
The five-year-old Pei Wenbo frowned with a reluctant face. What grandmother, she smells so bad!
Nine-year-old Pei Wenchen was older and more sensible, bearing the strong body odor, he called out to his grandmother.
Qian Wanxiu saw the look on her younger son’s face, and guessed he was repulsed by Lady Zhu’s smell. She pulled him aside, "Stand properly! Recite the ’Three-Character Classic’ for grandfather and grandmother."
Rescued by his mother, Pei Wenbo immediately smiled in agreement, shook his head, and started reciting, "People at birth, are naturally good. Their natures similar, their habits make them different. If foolishly there is no teaching, the nature will stray. The right way in teaching, lies in attaining attention. Once Mencius’ mother, chose their neighbors; if her son did not learn, she broke the weaving machine..."
Listening to his lengthy recitation, Old Pei smiled and repeatedly praised him for his good learning, even though he was only five years old.
"You’ve taught this child really well!" Lady Zhu again embraced Pei Wenbo with fondness.
Pei Wenbo wasn’t pleased and looked to his brother for help with a warning glare; only then did he purse his lips and endure it.
Qian Wanxiu then had Pei Wenchen recite as well, but instead of the simple ’Three-Character Classic’, he recited from ’The Four Books and Five Classics,’ ’The Analects of Confucius’ and ’Mencius’.
