The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man - Chapter 723

Chapter 723: 723 Surprised

Su Qingyue listened, a bit astonished.

There’s no need to mention second brother, even the characters she sometimes asked him to write from memory, he would get them wrong.

Third and fourth brothers could recite the “Thousand Character Classic” fluently, and they never made a mistake on the questions and characters she drew.

But to recite “Thousand Character Classic” in reverse…

She couldn’t even do it herself.

From the astonished gaze of fourth brother, she knew he couldn’t do it either.

She had always thought that third brother and fourth brother were making similar progress…

It turned out that the intelligence level of third brother was far beyond her imagination. It’s just that during the learning process, third brother always had an unserious, rogue-like demeanor, which really misled people into thinking he wasn’t a good student.

Fourth brother, on the other hand, had always been quite serious.

She now understood that third brother’s appearance was deceiving.

Xiao Yuchuan recited halfway and stopped.

She glared at him, “Can’t recite anymore?”

“No, wife. I can recite it all fluently in reverse, but it’s too troublesome to recite it at such a slow speed, how about I recite it faster?”

What? Can recite in reverse and recite faster? Without making mistakes? She was astonished in her heart, but she didn’t show it on her face and just nodded.

Xiao Yuchuan sped up his speech, and finished reciting in just a few minutes, “That’s what an adult sounds like when they speak. I’m not a child, I’m your husband. Wife…” propping his hands on the table, one hand supporting his chin, “Do you think I’m a bit smarter now?”

This guy just recited like that without thinking and didn’t make a single mistake… she was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped, it was such a blow to her, “I’ll make do.”

“To get your approval of ‘making do,’ I’m already pretty good.” He chuckled, “Wife, what are you going to teach next?”

Su Qingyue held up the “Analects” in her hand, “I’ll teach it all in one night.”

“No, wife…” He cried out in protest.

She raised an eyebrow, “What? Afraid your foolish brain can’t take it?”

“I’ve understood the rest of it even if I didn’t study it… I don’t need you to teach me…” He muttered quietly.

Her keen ears caught it, “What? You said you understood everything I didn’t teach?”

“I don’t understand, I don’t understand, you teach slowly…” He quickly waved his hands. He just enjoyed the process of his wife’s teaching, so he didn’t want to run out of things to learn so quickly.

Su Qingyue stared at Xiao Yuchuan’s handsome face for a few seconds, making sure he really understood everything. Damn it, how could this man be so smart!

She thought for a moment, “Since third brother already understands, I won’t teach the rest. Second and fourth brothers, you’ll be taught by him.”

“No, wife…” Xiao Yuchuan regretted immensely. If he had known earlier, he would have pretended to be dumb. It was truly a pleasure to listen to his wife’s teachings every night and watch her up close.

Su Qingyue, however, firmly put down the book, “It’s settled.”

“Wife… let’s discuss it again, you teach…” Xiao Yuchuan was full of regret and wanted to say something else.

But Su Qingyue ignored him.

After that, Su Qingyue really didn’t teach the three of them anymore because she had nothing left to teach.

Xiao Yuchuan accepted the task of teaching Xiao Qinghe and Xiao Yishan.

Xiao Yishan had actually grown impatient with learning. When his wife stopped teaching, he automatically stopped learning as well.

On the other hand, Xiao Qinghe still patiently learned from third brother. Just the same as being taught by his wife, third brother’s comprehension level made him… a little ashamed.

Early the next day.

After breakfast, Xiao Yuchuan, Xiao Yishan, and Su Qingyue each carried a hoe and went to the new house.

They had returned the tools borrowed during the previous house construction.
