With space in hand, who dares to mess with the villain's stepmother?

After the children finished their meal, all of them had round bellies, especially the second child, who was even more round.

late at night.

The children had all fallen asleep, and Gu Xiaoxiao was about to take a rest when a small knock on the door came.

When she opened the door, she saw it was Erbao.

"What's wrong, Erbao, you're still up so late, what's the matter?" Gu Xiaoxiao asked softly, a little surprised.

"Mother..." Erbao hesitated for a long time without saying anything, his hands clasped together uncomfortably.

Gu Xiaoxiao saw that there was something on the little boy's mind, so he sighed softly and said, "Come in first, expose yourself more deeply, be careful of catching cold, come in and talk slowly if you have anything to do."

Erbao didn't hesitate after hearing this and walked into his mother's room.

The light in the room was dim and warm, and there was a faint scent of my mother's body, which was very reassuring.

Gu Xiaoxiao sat down at the table, poured a glass of warm water and put it in front of Erbao, and slowly asked: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Erbao glanced at Gu Xiaoxiao carefully, pursed his lips slightly, and thought about how to say it so that his mother would agree without getting angry.

When Gu Xiaoxiao saw him like this, he didn't rush him. He raised his hand and poured himself a glass of warm water, sipping it and waiting for Erbao to speak.

The room became quiet for a while, with the sound of a pin dropping.

Erbao's chubby little face was full of tangles, and his facial features were wrinkled together.

After a few twists and turns, he seemed to have made up his mind again, with firmness and persistence in his eyes.

Gu Xiaoxiao saw Erbao raising his head and looking at him resolutely, with a slight pressure on his mouth, showing how nervous he was at this time.

But what's more important in his expression is that he has never been more serious.

Just listen to him say: "Mom, I want to go to the border! I want to enter the military camp!"

The voice of the boy who was less than ten years old was still childish, but his words were firmer than ever.

Gu Xiaoxiao held Wen Shui's hand for a moment, a little surprised, and his face was slightly stunned.

What surprised her was not that Erbao wanted to join the army. Judging from teaching children martial arts when he was a child, and judging from the original text and Erbao's current personality, the path of a military commander was what he wanted, and she had already had it. Mental preparation.

But she didn't expect it to happen so early...

She thought she could stay with him for a few more years.

Gu Xiaoxiao calmed down and remained silent while observing the child in front of him.

Although she is very strong at such a young age, she has grown a lot in the past two years, almost reaching her shoulders. She is no longer the same as when they first met, but she is still just a child...

She always knew that Erbao didn't like the imperial examination. It was not easy to be ranked at the bottom and get the title of scholar.

Gu Xiaoxiao is not the kind of person with conservative ideas. She has been influenced by the civilization of the new era. She has never believed that the only way for her children to take the imperial examination is to take the imperial examination.

Everyone has different abilities, different hobbies, and different advantages.

Just like Dabao unexpectedly got the head of the case, but if he brought up a knife or gun, he couldn't beat Erbao with his bare hands, and vice versa.

Therefore, she pays more attention to children's interests and advantages, and maximizing their abilities and talents is the right choice.

Can……

For such a young child, he has to be sent to a place where swords don't have eyesight, and he has to go to the battlefield from time to time, and his life is not in his hands.

No mother would be willing to do this.

Gu Xiaoxiao moved his throat, trying to persuade, "Erbao, you are still young and have never experienced the hardships of the border military camp. The bitter and cold place is also so far away..."

Before he could finish speaking, Erbao interrupted, "Mom, I've already thought about it. I'm not afraid of hardship." He paused and said, "Besides, I've already told dad, and he agreed."

Gu Xiaoxiao suddenly stopped when the words he was about to persuade came to his lips.

Did Zhou Zeyun agree?

Doesn't he know that Erbao is still so young?
Doesn't he know how painful and tiring the military camp is?
Is he the child's biological father? !

How could you just agree to it! !

Gu Xiaoxiao had 1 disapprovals and a lot of complaints against Zhou Zeyun.

Erbao didn't know that his father had been tricked by his words.

He looked at the obvious entanglement and reluctance in his mother's eyes, and said softly: "Mom, you know, I am not as smart as my eldest brother and third brother in the imperial examination, and I am not as good at making people happy as my fourth brother. I have always dreamed of In addition to eating, I am also a general. Now I am also lucky enough to be a scholar. I can at least understand military books, and I am not like I didn’t understand anything before. I have no idea of ​​taking the imperial examination. I prefer to use my own Work hard and achieve great results with one sword and one spear, so mother, I want to go out and practice truly. I like to live a free and unrestrained life. I can be sure that this is the path I will take for the rest of my life."

Gu Xiaoxiao raised his eyes and looked at his cheap second son. He had always been heartless and beaming with joy, but he seemed to be extraordinarily insistent on what he wanted.

Under the warm yellow light, Erbao's eyes looked red, and he said seriously: "Mom, what I hope most is that you can support me!"

Gu Xiaoxiao stared at Erbao quietly for a long time. He seemed to...feel that something was different from before.

Gu Xiaoxiao held his hand and loosened it, loosened it and then tightened it, over and over again.

Erbao was extremely worried. He was afraid that his mother would disapprove, and he was also afraid that his mother would still ask him to take the imperial examination. He didn't want to make his mother angry and sad, but at the same time, he didn't want to give up on his dream.

I don't know how much time passed, but finally a faint sigh came from Gu Xiaoxiao in the silent night.

"That's all, if you think about it, then do it, but once you make a decision, you can't go back on it!" she reminded.

Erbao jumped up excitedly, but he immediately restrained himself for fear of disturbing the rest of the family.

I just keep a smile on my face. Nothing makes me happier than the support of my parents.He calmed down and replied in an excited voice: "I know, mother, I will never regret it!"

Gu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, "In that case, I will set up three levels for you." As she said this, she stretched out three fingers.

Then he said: "I support you, but I can't let you run into danger just because of your few words. I want to test your ability. The requirements are not high, and self-protection is enough."

She paused for a moment, seeing Erbao frozen in place, with the corners of his mouth that had been raised a few seconds ago not having time to fall down, she couldn't help but smile in her heart.

Are you just stunned?I haven’t finished speaking yet!
Do you think you can get her to let go so easily?What a beautiful thought!
So Gu Xiaoxiao continued: "If you pass all three passes, I will let you go and allow you to go to the border pass to practice. If you fail to pass one of the three passes, it means that you are not capable. Don't blame my mother for being unreasonable. It’s better to study at home for a few years before going out!”

Erbao got a headache when he heard there was an exam. He didn't know what his mother was going to take, and he didn't know if he could pass it, but...

Thinking about it, he gradually puffed up his little chest. No matter what, he must pass his mother's test!

It's just self-protection, I guess my mother won't embarrass him too much.

Although he couldn't bear to part with everything at home, he would not back down.

"Okay, mother, I will definitely satisfy you!" Erbao was full of momentum.

Gu Xiaoxiao looked at him and smiled softly, "Okay! It's settled then. It will start early tomorrow morning. You will know the content of the first level tomorrow."

She looked at the sky outside again and said, "It's getting late, go back and rest!"

Erbao nodded, left Gu Xiaoxiao's room, and went back to rest.

Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes flashed, and he didn't know what he thought of. With a smile on his lips, he picked up the warm water and took another sip. The water was a little cold.

Early the next morning.

It was still dark and Erbao was pulled up from the bed by Gu Xiaoxiao while he was still dreaming.

He came to the yard with sleepy eyes. In the center was a large pot and a stone slab. Next to it were a pile of iron blocks, stones, and wood blocks. Various tools such as hammers and hammers were arranged neatly.

Erbao's sleepy eyes suddenly widened as wide as the sixteenth moon.

Gu Xiaoxiao stood beside Erbao, crossing his arms and looking at everything in front of him with satisfaction.

Fortunately, she had all these raw materials in space. During the end of the world, she often stayed in the space laboratory to study various things. She tried all categories one by one and finally became perfect.

These raw materials and tools are what she collects to make weapons and concealed weapons.

Of course, these things are also available in this era. After all, weapons are the key to fighting wars.

"Mom, didn't you say you wanted to test me? What are these things for?" After Erbao came back to his senses, the more he thought about it, the more confused he became.

Gu Xiaoxiao curled up his lips and replied: "This is the first level, testing your ability, brain power and concentration."

Erbao still had a look of confusion on his face.

Seeing this, the smile on Gu Xiaoxiao's lips deepened, and he explained lightly: "What you need to do is to make a weapon and a concealed weapon for yourself. Mom will teach you how to make it, but during the making process, you need to rely on yourself to master the weapon. If you can go to the battlefield, the weapon in your hand will be the thing that charges you into battle, and your hidden weapon will be the thing that protects your life. These are very important things, so you must choose Very suitable for you..."

After talking for a while, seeing the sparkling look in the little guy's eyes, Gu Xiaoxiao changed the subject and continued: "Of course, if you don't persist or the things you make don't meet my standards, then you should be honest. It’s better to stay at home and study more.”

Hearing this, Erbao's eyes were full of determination. He would never let his mother underestimate him. He would definitely make the best weapons and hidden weapons!
Gu Xiaoxiao looked at Erbao's round little face, his eyes secretly filled with smiles.

Although the materials she took out are available in this era, they were taken out from her space after all. The things in the original apocalypse were stronger than those here. After being stored in the space, the materials we see now , the weapons that can be fired are extremely strong in this era!
Not to mention it is a magical weapon, it is one of a kind!

If the second treasure can be successfully created, it will definitely be a big help to him in the future!
After that, Gu Xiaoxiao demonstrated and explained the manufacturing method and process. Erbao's eyes lit up and he was already eager to try it.

At the same time, the admiration for my mother reached its peak again!
After Gu Xiaoxiao spoke, he immediately stepped forward and moved his little hands as his mother did.

Gu Xiaoxiao looked at Erbao, who was full of novelty at this moment, and curled his lips. This child didn't know the pain and difficulty of this test yet. He wouldn't be so excited anymore when he couldn't stand it any longer!

When it comes to making weapons, the pain is that the iron that has been heated to a certain temperature needs to be continuously hammered and shaped into shape, which lasts for several days and nights, which especially tests your arm strength and patience.

The difficulty is that except for experienced old craftsmen, it is difficult for ordinary people to have the patience and strength to complete it, not to mention that Erbao is only a child under ten years old!

But if he wants to go to the border right now, he must be more capable than ordinary people. At least he must be able to protect himself!

At the border, it's not just children playing house, it's a real fight with real swords and guns, so Gu Xiaoxiao can only work hard to train him!

At this time, Zhou Zeyun on the side slowly approached and walked to Gu Xiaoxiao. He glanced at Erbao who was busy, smiled softly, looked at Gu Xiaoxiao with tender eyes and said, "You are a sharp-tongued person with a soft heart, and you are obviously reluctant to let go." , and even promised him to go out, obviously wanting to give him some precious gifts and life-saving chips, but he insisted on testing him. "

The tone was extremely doting.

Gu Xiaoxiao glared at Zhou Zeyun pretending to be angry and said harshly: "I'm just testing him! I won't let him go unless he passes. Such a young child has a lot to learn!"

Zhou Zeyun even chuckled when he heard this, and compromised: "Okay, okay, whatever you say is what it is!"

Gu Xiaoxiao raised his eyebrows and smiled proudly, feeling very inspired by Zhou Zeyun's words.

Then something suddenly occurred to him, and he turned to look at Zhou Zeyun and asked, "Speaking of which, do you really agree to let Er Bao go to the Border Military Camp alone? Are you still at such a young age?"

Zhou Zeyun expected that Gu Xiaoxiao would ask this question, so he answered naturally without thinking too much: "I agree, because of you."

"Because of me?" Gu Xiaoxiao was a little surprised.

"Yes." Zhou Zeyun looked into Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes and nodded, and said: "Originally, I also considered that Erbao was too young and the unpredictable situation at the border would be too dangerous, but then I thought about it again. When you persuaded me to study with the children and pass the imperial examination, you said that if I study hard, I will repay the family earlier than the children. Facts have proved that it will be easier for you after I pass the examination. At the same time, I also feel that I am more useful to this family."

His eyes flickered as he looked at the enthusiastic Erbao not far away and continued: "Now that my children and I have won the title of scholar and above, logically speaking, taking the path of civil servants is the choice for most people. But if the second treasure can achieve success on the road of becoming a military commander, then wouldn’t it be impeccable for this family to have both civil and military skills? Then the children and I can better protect you!”

Speaking of this, Gu Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment. He never thought that this was because he wanted to protect her!

Although she didn't need to be protected, someone working hard for her and saying they wanted to protect her in front of her still touched her heart!
