Yang Dong was studying diligently with the three little ones.

"Fourth Uncle, this character is pronounced ’wu’, let me write it for you."

"The teacher said to write the diagonal first, then..."

"..."

Yang Qiu hesitated as she stood outside the door, hearing the voices inside. Her brother was finally being serious, would she be interrupting him?

Thinking this, she lowered her hand that was about to knock and thought perhaps it was better to find him tomorrow morning, she wasn’t in a rush.

But as she turned around, she accidentally tripped over something.

Even though she didn’t make a sound, the noise from her feet was quite loud. Yang Dong inside still heard it, he immediately got up and opened the door to find Yang Qiu standing outside. He quickly asked, "Xiaoqiu, why are you standing here? What happened just now? Are you okay?"

Yang Qiu felt a bit embarrassed. She hadn’t intended to disturb them, but she ended up doing so anyway. "I’m fine, just tripped over something."

Seeing that Yang Qiu seemed okay, Yang Dong relaxed and asked, "Did you come to the door to find me for something?"

Since she had already disturbed her brother, Yang Qiu decided to speak up. "Well, I heard from mom that you bought some paper today, and I wanted to ask if I could have a few sheets."

"Oh, I see. Then come in, I’ll get some for you."

Yang Qiu followed her brother inside. She was also curious to see what the three little ones were learning with him. Although she didn’t say it, she actually wanted to learn too. If she could recognize more characters, it would make traveling easier in the future, and she wouldn’t easily be deceived.

She thought women who could read were amazing. She wanted to be like her third sister-in-law and Sister Xiangxiang, able to handle things independently when out and about.

But at her age, she felt too embarrassed to go back to school with the three little ones.

Even though the school accepted girls, she just couldn’t bring herself to do it.

Maybe she could learn with her brother?

While thinking this, she saw her brother handing the paper over. "Xiaoqiu, do you want to learn characters too? If you do, why not join us? What could you learn on your own in your room?"

Yang Dong didn’t know Yang Qiu wanted paper for drawing, he just thought she wanted to learn characters too because he noticed the longing in her eyes when she entered and saw the three little ones practicing.

Why not learn together then? What could she learn alone in a room without anyone to teach her?

"I’m not learning characters, I just want to practice drawing patterns."

Hearing Yang Qiu’s words, Yang Dong felt even more that she should join in and kept persuading, "Xiaoqiu, why don’t you learn with us? Knowing more characters will be good for you when you go out in the future. Now, you need to run that workshop and frequently go out, you need to know characters. Also, don’t you want to be like me, and change that country dialect? It’s not that I look down on our dialect, but when you’re out meeting new people, dealing with business, speaking in dialect might make them underestimate you, which wouldn’t be good for you."

At this time, the three little ones also chimed in.

"Yeah, Aunt, you should learn with us too. It’s more fun to learn with more people, learning alone is too boring. At school, there are many people and we all fight to learn, fight to answer questions, we learn really fast."

"Yes, Aunt, you should learn too. You don’t know, Fourth Uncle is really slow at learning, if you join, maybe you’ll learn faster."
