Chapter 76
After lunch, Wanniang asked Wu Erlang to find a dustpan to spread fine sand on, and she wanted to test the characters she had taught before.

This incident made Mr. Hua happy: "Well, well, you can read well, Erlang, it's a great thing to be able to read!"

Wu Erlang also nodded happily: "Well, I will study hard."

Aunt Zhou was also happy, and helped them to fill the dustpan with fine sand, and then gave them a test in the main room.

The door of Hua's house was closed tightly, and visitors were refused, even patients who were sick.

So that no one will say something ridiculous by seeing a doctor.

After a day, Wu Erlang forgot a few words, but his memory was enough to shock Wanniang.

"You can memorize fifty characters a day. It seems that you can memorize the Thousand Characters in less than a month. How did you do it?"

Wu Erlang felt embarrassed: "I'll just keep it in mind. I didn't have the chance to read before, but now I have the chance, so I can't be lazy."

This kind of learning spirit made Wan Niang admire: "Then I will teach you other things after learning the Thousand-Character Essay."

"Okay." Wu Erlang couldn't wait for it.

After reviewing his homework, today Wanniang taught him another fifty characters, and then read the entire Thousand-Character Classic to Wu Erlang.

Hua Langzhong quietly listened under the eaves for a while, and he thought about it, so he reported to his wife and went out.

Wan Niang taught for more than half an hour, and gradually became tired, but Wu Erlang didn't show any signs of tiredness.

He asked Wanniang to rest for a while, but he planned to go to the mountains to chop another load of firewood and come back.

Wanniang was surprised: "I've been there in the morning, and I still have to go, aren't you tired?"

She has never seen Wu Erlang take a lunch break.

Wu Erlang said with a relaxed face: "I'm not tired, I can cut five or six loads of firewood at most in a day."

Wanniang knew that he chopped all the firewood for the Wu family.

It’s okay to work alone like before, but in the future, it will only create a room full of idlers.

"You'd better take a rest, the mother-in-law didn't ask you to fill the woodshed in a day."

Mrs. Zhou, who came in with a handful of bananas, laughed when she heard it: "Erlang, I was just joking. I really told you to fill the firewood room. Let's rest. This banana is just ripe, so try it."

There are a few banana trees in the backyard. The bananas are fat and round, and the fruits are just ripe, which adds a little bit of snacks.

Wu Erlang couldn't refuse, so he had to peel one. Seeing Wan Wanniang holding the banana in her hand, looking up and down, she seemed to be hesitating to peel it from the other end.

He handed the peeled one to Wanniang, and Wanniang naturally took it and ate it.

He also handed the banana in his hand to Erlang.

Wu Erlang peeled one banana again, seeing that she was eating the banana in small bites, so he had to eat the peeled banana again by himself.

After Wanniang finished eating one, he peeled another one for her, but Wanniang stopped eating: "Eat it, I'm going to take a nap and eat it when I get up."

Wu Erlang, who didn't intend to eat more, was a little embarrassed to see the peeled bananas. This thing was not easy to put away after peeling, and he didn't know what color it turned into after taking a nap. Wanniang would definitely not eat it.

Aunt Zhou didn't know where she went. Seeing that Wan Niang had gone back to the house to rest, he had no choice but to eat the second banana, feeling a little greedy and embarrassed.

The greedy Wu Erlang couldn't be idle anymore, he went out to the mountain to chop firewood again.

Wanniang thought he would go to the pharmacy to rest, but when she got up, she went to the pharmacy to have a look.

Not only Wu Erlang was not there, but even Mr. Hua was absent.

Aunt Zhou was busy in the backyard, so Wan Niang had to start embroidery.

In the evening, Wu Erlang appeared carrying firewood.

This person really couldn't rest at all, Wanniang shook her head helplessly.

Hua Langzhong also just came back at sunset.

It turned out that he had gone to town.
