Scholar's Sweetheart

Soong Xintong watched Aunt Xieng'er leave before turning around and returning to her room. She saw Big Treasure and Little Treasure standing beside the basket like two wooden stakes, staring at it without blinking.

"What are you two doing?" Soong Xintong asked in surprise.

"Defend against thieves." Little Treasure said crisply.

"…" Soong Xintong was speechless. "Whose idea was that?"

Little Treasure pointed at Big Treasure and unceremoniously betrayed him.

Soong Xintong sat with her hands on her hips, waiting for his explanation.

"Ah Sis, you owe money on credit again." Big Treasure looked at her with disapproval.

"What do you know, Xiao Budian? Even if I were to give Aunt Xie two hundred and eighty gold coins, I can still earn four to five hundred gold coins." Soong Xintong looked at his struggling face and said, "Hey kid, you can't count it out anymore, right?" Can you read the numbers I taught you last night? "

Without waiting for Da Bao's reply, Xiao Bao immediately rushed to say, "Yes."

"One, two, three, four …" Little Treasure neatly carried him up to fifty-five.

Soong Xintong lifted her chin. "And then? "Don't you remember?"

Little Treasure scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "I don't remember."

Soong Xintong turned to Dabao and asked with raised eyebrows, "What about you?"

"Fifty-six." Great Treasure indifferently replied.

"Eh, not bad." Soong Xintong rubbed Dabao's head, then rubbed Little Treasure who had been looking at her. "In order to reward you, I'll cook an egg for you two tonight."

"Sister, we don't have any eggs." Da Bao, this little steward, immediately said.

Soong Xintong was stunned for a moment. "It's alright. Ah'jie will go to the village and buy two of them."

"No need, Sis. Don't waste your money." Big Treasure said, "When we have enough money, we can raise chickens to lay eggs and eat."

Although Little Treasure really wanted to eat, he knew that his family was poor and he couldn't spend money carelessly. He echoed Big Treasure's words, "Don't spend money carelessly."

Soong Xintong half-squatted in front of the two of them and pinched Big Treasure's cheek, "It's only two coins a egg, I can still afford to buy it." Soong Xintong half-squatted in front of the two of them, half-squatted down and pinched Big Treasure's cheek, "It's only two coins a egg, it's still possible for Big Sis to buy it.

Little Treasure rushed to say, "Then he's a swindler."

Dabao rolled his eyes at Xiaobao and then looked at Soong Xintong. "But it's not the same."

"What's different?"

"You are our sister. I know that there are no eggs at home, so it doesn't matter if I eat it."

Seeing how Dabao seemed to be so sensible, Soong Xintong couldn't help but laugh and kiss him, "I have money, so I will cash it in." In the future, Big Treasure and Little Treasure will do the same as well. They will do whatever others say, no matter what they do.

"Is that hard to do?" Little Treasure asked in a daze.

"Then think about it carefully before you agree. If you can't even do it, why did you agree to others?" Soong Xintong explained, "You have to do everything according to your capabilities. You can't just casually agree to things that others can't do."

"Oh." Xiaobao fished in his pocket for a long time before taking out a mint candy. He reluctantly placed it in Big Treasure's hands. "Big brother, I'll give you the half piece of candy that Rising Tone promised."

Great Treasure looked at the sugar wrapped tightly in the paper, and a smile gradually appeared on his mature face. He stretched out his hand to receive the mints and carefully tore open the paper, revealing the mint-scented candy inside.

Little Treasure stared at the candy, "Big brother, you split it."

Big Treasure glanced at Little Treasure, then picked up the candy and broke it open. Crack! It split into two, but because he was weak, it wasn't evenly divided. One was long, and the other was short.

Little Treasure looked unblinkingly at the slightly longer half of the mint, and unconsciously pursed his lips.

Soong Xintong found it funny, but she said nothing. She just looked at them coldly.

Xiao Bao sensed her gaze and quickly turned his head to look at her. After dodging her gaze and looking at Da Bao, he unwillingly said, "Big brother, I'm younger than you. I want a small one." She went to get a small piece of mints.

Big Treasure took the mints and handed them over to Xiaobao. "You want this."

Xiao Bao stared blankly at the mints in his hand, and then happily smiled, "Thank you big brother."

Soong Xintong smiled at the two of them, interrupting them. "Big Treasure, don't you like sugar?"

"I like it." Da Bao nodded obediently. "I am the older brother. Xiao Bao is the younger brother. The older brother should give way to the younger brother."

Big Treasure and Little Treasure were twins. Little Treasure had been born so his physique was a little weaker than Little Treasure's. Most of the time, Little Treasure would be the one taking care of his family. However, it was too early to tell if this was a good thing or a bad thing. Soong Xintong sighed inwardly.

Little Treasure was licking his mints when he suddenly heard Da Bao's words. His face suddenly flushed red as he looked at the licked mints in his hands in shame. His crescent eyelashes trembled as tears welled up in his eyes. "Big sister, I was wrong."

Soong Xintong was stunned. "You're wrong?"

"Yes." Little Treasure said in a flabbergasted tone, "I should have given it to big brother, I shouldn't have fought over it with big brother."

"Little Treasure, you didn't fight with me over it. I'm willing to give it to you." Big Bao walked over and hugged Little Treasure. Like an adult, he lightly patted Little Treasure's head. "You're not allowed to cry."

"I'm not crying." Little Treasure pursed his lips to hold back his tears. "In the future, I'll also let big brother win. Don't be like this."

Soong Xintong embraced the two kids at the same time. "Alright, alright. You two are both good children. Ah'jie is so happy."

"I'm happy too." Little Treasure immediately roared.

Soong Xintong asked, "What are you happy about?"

"Big Sis is happy, Little Treasure is happy." Little Treasure smiled as he revealed his full mouth full of baby teeth.

"Okay, okay. I'm going to Senior Lee's house. I'll be back soon. You guys stay at home and don't run around, okay?" Soong Xintong warned the two boys repeatedly, afraid that they would follow Goudan to the river bank again.

"But we made an appointment with Goudan to play by the stream," said Xiaobao.

Soong Xintong covered her head. Whatever she was worried about would come at any moment.

"Sister just said that people have to have a letter, you can't go back on your word …" "Fat." Little Treasure thought for a long time before he thought of the word 'fat'.

"Yo, you can even use four words?" Who did you learn it from? " Soong Xintong couldn't remember teaching them.

"It's taught by Spring Tree."

Little Treasure quickly nodded in agreement. "Spring Tree is very powerful."

"Then in the future, you two must work hard to be as good as Spring Tree." Soong Xintong said.

Both of them nodded their heads heavily, "Yes."

In the end, Soong Xintong brought the two to Grandma Qiu's home to find Goudan, then leisurely walked to Senior Lee's house at the village entrance.

The Li Family's conditions were much better than those of Soong Family. Before they even got close, they could already hear the chirping of chickens. Outside the courtyard, there were even two jujube trees.

After asking Auntie Li about it, she found out that Senior Lee didn't even bring goods home. She and Auntie Li booked two empty seats in the basket, and after seeing that her family kept about ten chickens, she bought five eggs before leaving the Li Family. Not long after, she heard a frivolous voice from behind a big rock near the stream: "Little Sister Hee Family, come and talk to Big Brother."
