After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 60 Negative Effect
Haijiao changed his daily study schedule.

Although his time for classes, studies, and martial arts training has not been reduced, because he now has permission from his grandfather Hai Xiya, he can get home before noon every day, eat a nutritious lunch at home, and take a half-hour nap. He no longer stayed up late at night, the dark blue under his eyes quickly disappeared, and his energy was much better than before.Upon seeing this, Hai Xiya, his wife, Xie Wenzai, and Hai Chang'an all put down their worries and no longer thought that he would tire himself out by studying martial arts too hard.

Haitang also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She also discovered not long ago that there might be something wrong with her brother's mental state.She only thinks about getting familiar with various skills and learning cultural courses as soon as possible, so that when she shows more knowledge and strength than her peers in the future, she will have a reason to explain to her family.But she ignored that her brother Hai Jiao, as a companion who studied and practiced martial arts with her, might have doubts about her own abilities because of her performance, and thus lose her self-confidence.

My brother always thought that she was a real ten-year-old girl. He felt that as an "adult", there was no reason for him to lose to her. But he didn't know that she actually had an adult soul and even lived longer than him in her previous life!

Adults in their 30s have lived at the bottom of this country all their lives, leading a rough and dangerous life.How could the various skills, knowledge and life experiences he had mastered compare with her, an old woman who had lived in a complex place like the palace for decades?Not to mention, before she came to Dachu, she had lived in a modern world with advanced information and abundant materials for more than 20 years.When it comes to being "well-informed" and "rich in knowledge", Haitang, who dropped out of school after the age of 11 in her previous life and has just started her second life, is definitely not as good as Haitang, who has lived three lifetimes.

To put it simply, it is true that Hai Jiao is the "protagonist", but Haitang is cheating.

It's a pity that Haitang couldn't tell Haijiao the truth.He was stubborn and refused to listen to his sister's persuasion.If he were allowed to work hard day and night, it would be a trivial matter that he would get sick from exhaustion. But if he completely lost confidence in himself, gave up on himself, and had a rift with his sister, that would not be good.

Haitang thought of her past life experiences, especially those relatives and friends who drifted away from her because she was too curly and too good, and she didn't want to end up in this life with no relatives to rely on, and having to work for others even though she was old and not short of money. .

She could only give a hint to her second uncle Hai Chang'an, letting him think that her nephew was anxious because his sister was too outstanding, so he spent all his sleep and food chasing after her, which might lead to his health being broken.

Now it seems that this method is quite useful.Hai Xiya and his wife took action, Hai Jiao also changed their original work and rest time, and everyone was happy.

Of course, the most important thing is that Hai Jiao will not have any jealous thoughts because of his sister's academic excellence. From then on, he becomes increasingly estranged from his sister Haitang.He still has confidence in his talent and will continue to work hard to learn and improve in the future so that he can realize his wish as soon as possible.

However, although this plan was successful and no one noticed that there was someone deliberately planning it behind the scenes, it still had a negative impact on Haitang, the person involved.

While Mrs. Ma was happy that her grandson's work and rest time had returned to normal, she also paid attention to her granddaughter and found that she was indeed as Xie Wenzai and Hai Chang'an said. She had excellent academic performance and a high level of riding and shooting. She was obviously younger than Hai Jiao. Although he is three or four years old, he is always on the same level as him. No wonder his grandson is anxious.

Although it is a good thing that the granddaughter is both civilized and martial arts, for Ma, girls do not need to work so hard. Riding and martial arts can be learned carefully, and people can better protect themselves in border towns, but the art of war, strategy, etc. There is no need to pay too much attention.She would rather her granddaughter learn some music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and poetry. Those are the things that a boudoir daughter should learn.

However, she currently cannot find a suitable teacher to teach her granddaughter this knowledge.Xie Wenzai helped Hai Xiya handle official affairs at the guard station every day, while Cao Gengyun and Lu Bainian were busy teaching Hai Jiao. Ma was too embarrassed to speak to them, so she simply decided to come by herself.

One afternoon, she saw her grandson Hai Jiao going to the second courtyard for classes, but her granddaughter Haitang did not follow him. Instead, she and Jin Guo squatted in front of several wooden troughs in the third courtyard, muttering, and discussing whether to give The taller grape vines built a wooden frame, and he called Haitang into the house.

She said to Haitang: "For setting up the airs, just ask Jin Guo to find Da Zhuang. You are not allowed to do it yourself. I was just trying to take care of the housework. The weather is gloomy today and the room is not bright enough. Let me look at the account books." It's so dazzling, you come and settle the accounts for grandma." Ma had taught Haitang a few basics of household accounting, and had also asked her granddaughter to help her, so Haitang naturally wouldn't refuse.

Not only did she help Ma sort out all the housework accounts for the past few months in a decent manner, but she also lined up the paper and copied out a clear and clear new account book. Even if the light in the room was dim, Ma You can also see every income and expenditure record in the account book clearly at a glance.

Ma was a little surprised, and then said: "It seems that you have some talent in this. Well, I said, you are your grandfather's biological flesh and blood, and your grandfather is a master of accounting. You can't be a fool."

Haitang thought to herself, this kind of thing is not so absolute, right?

However, she looked at Ma's expression and did not refute. She just pretended to smile and said, "Of course! Grandpa is a good settler. I will also learn from grandpa's skills and become a master of settlers!"

Ma said: "You are a girl, and your family does not need you to do business. How can you be a master of accounting? If you have time, it is serious to learn how to be a female celebrity!" After saying that, she asked Haitang to put away the account books and turned around to enter. From the inner room, I took out a small basket.

In the basket were the needlework tools she had prepared in advance, including scraps of cloth, scraps of silk, various needles, threads of a dozen colors, small scissors, thimbles, etc., as well as a palm-sized pocket bamboo embroidery booth. .The embroidery studio is very old, and the surface has been rubbed very smooth. It looks like it has been around for decades.

Ma handed the basket to Haitang: "You are idle on weekdays. I won't stop you from practicing horse riding, but don't learn the lessons your brother learned. If you learn it, you will learn it in vain. That's all. What does the things that only generals in the army learn have to do with you? You are now older, almost ten years old. In a few years, you will go to your mother-in-law's house. You can no longer be as greedy and playful as you were when you were a child. From now on , you should learn needlework from grandma..."

Haitang blinked and slowly took the sewing basket, feeling a little complicated.

She could probably guess why Ma suddenly said this.

In the spring, Ma just let her tie a few flowers randomly. She was still young, so she didn't need to put too much thought into her female beauty skills.

Now that autumn has just arrived, Ma said that she is getting older and needs to spend more time learning needlework.

Only a few months later, Ma changed his tune. Why else could it be?Because Haitang was worried that her brother Haijiao would lose confidence, she deliberately lied and misled her, hiding her superior talent and learning.Ma family can naturally see that her granddaughter's excellence has brought psychological pressure to her grandson.She didn't mean to suppress it, but she just felt that it was of no use for her granddaughter to learn the art of war. She might as well learn more skills that are more practical for girls...

But Haitang had spent half his life working with crafts such as weaving, embroidery, needlework, and chiseling, so it could be said that he was very familiar with these things.

Nowadays, it is not difficult for her to learn female celebrities from the basics.

The most difficult thing is how can she convince her grandmother Ma that she is a "beginner" with ordinary craftsmanship?
