The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

When the wife of Land Officer Yang saw Ms. Wang present a longevity lock, and Yang Chuxia pull out a silver necklace, she couldn’t help but express her disapproval.

Not only that, but they also brought clothes and fabric. The gifts were a bit too lavish.

"Grandma, it wasn’t easy for Uncle Dayong to finally have a son, aren’t I just happy for him? How could it be a waste?"

Ms. Liu Junior also felt that the gifts were somewhat too generous. The necklace felt heavy in her hands, and she didn’t know if she should accept it, so she looked at the wife of Land Officer Yang, somewhat troubled.

Ms. Wang also said, "Auntie, what’s wrong with giving a child something? How is it a waste?" Seeing that Ms. Liu Junior was hesitant to accept, Ms. Wang directly handed the child over to Li’s mother to hold, and she went over to put the lock around the child’s neck. "Keep the necklace, and he can wear it when he gets bigger."

Seeing this, the wife of Land Officer Yang had nothing more to say.

Afterward, someone outside mentioned that the relatives of the wife of Land Officer Yang had come, and she went out to greet them.

Ms. Wang and Ms. Liu went out together to help and see if there was anything they could assist with.

Ms. Luo also wanted to go out and help, but it was difficult to move around while holding a child.

Yang Chuxia and Ruoqiu, as married daughters of the family, were treated as returning to their maternal home when they visited Land Officer Yang’s house; naturally, they didn’t need to go out and get involved.

Ms. Liu Junior then stayed inside, chatting with the others.

Chen Yanzhu waited until Lele and Yangyang were put into a little carriage and then started playing with Lele and Yangyang.

Unfortunately, both children were still young and couldn’t talk yet, so after a while, he found it uninteresting.

He then went to play with Yang Qingkang, but Yang Qingkang was even younger, only a month old, and he was still sleeping with his eyes closed at the moment.

Chen Yanzhu listlessly said, "Why won’t this brother open his eyes?"

Hearing this address, Ruoqiu smiled and said quickly, "Yanzhu, this is not your little brother, you know."

"Why isn’t he my little brother? Isn’t he a boy?"

In his mind, as long as one had a ’little bird,’ they were a boy; anyone younger than him was his little brother.

"You should call him ’little uncle.’

Don’t look at his young age; his generational standing is set."

"Why should I call him ’little uncle’?"

Ruoqiu then felt at a loss; why? Because his standing is higher than yours, but he knew explaining this would be too complex for the boy to understand.

However, she then heard Chen Yanzhu ask, "Is it like Uncle Qingbao?"

"Yes, it’s like Uncle Qingbao. Uncle Qingbao is your mother’s younger brother, and so is he. That’s why you should call him ’uncle.’

Chen Yanzhu, seemingly deep in thought, said, "Oh, he’s my mother’s brother, not my brother, so I should call him ’uncle.’" Just as Ruoqiu was gratified by her son’s intelligence, she heard him add, "Then I won’t play with the little uncle. Uncles are too old and not fun."

Hearing his words, Yang Chuxia was initially puzzled, but after Ruoqiu explained it, she realized that by ’too old,’ he actually meant that the generational difference was too great. Since he was the younger one, he felt constrained playing with elders, which was not good.

Yang Chuxia, listening on the side, found the boy to be truly clever; at such a young age, he could understand so much.

She then inquired, "When do you plan to send him to study?"

"At least not until he is five, I suppose."

"Isn’t your husband literate? He could start teaching him now."

"This... wouldn’t it be a bit early?"

Yang Chuxia shook her head, "Not early at all. Start introducing him to it now to develop his interest. By the time he’s five or six, it will be just right to send him to school."

Chen Yanzhu is already over three years old. Children his age in modern times can attend kindergarten.

"Let me tell you, I recite the ’Three Character Classic’ to my two at home every day."
