Yi Xin as a concubine

Chapter 125 Baoer teaches his son

"Don't worry, Xiaobao. Auntie will tell you. Just remember it, and then you will know it later, right?" Xin Baoer rubbed the child's fair and tender face and guided him with a smile.

Xiaobao's eyes lit up when he heard that, and he nodded excitedly, his little face flushed.

"Then listen carefully. Chopsticks have one round end and one square end, representing the roundness of the heaven and the squareness of the earth. Add in the fact that people are the ones using chopsticks, and this represents the three elements of heaven, earth and man. Have you memorized the Three Character Classic?"

"No," Xiaobao shook his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Then auntie will teach you later. Let's get to know chopsticks first today." Xin Baoer comforted with a smile.

Xiaobao nodded obediently.

"Its length is seven inches and six points, representing the seven emotions and six desires of human beings. The reason why it is made this length is to tell us that humans are different from animals. Only those who have the ability to control their desires can achieve success."

Baoer was a little confused and obviously didn't understand. Xin Baoer smiled soothingly and fiddled with the chopsticks in her hand.

"There are usually two chopsticks, one yin and one yang, one moving and one static, which embodies the concept of yin and yang balance. And the two chopsticks need to cooperate with each other to complete the action of picking up food, symbolizing the unity and cooperation between people. A person's strength is limited, just like a pair of chopsticks, you see~" Xin Baoer exerted force with both hands, and the chopsticks broke with a sound, and Xiaobao was startled.

"You..." Bijun was about to speak out an accusation when she was pulled away by Chu Xingchen. He picked up Xiaobao and motioned him to continue watching Xin Baoer's actions.

Xin Baoer gathered the chopsticks of several people together and bent them hard in front of Xiaobao. The chopsticks did not move at all. Xiaobao was a little surprised and exclaimed, "It's not broken!"

“Isn’t it amazing? So Xiaobao, you should make more friends in the future. With more good friends around you, just like this pair of chopsticks, protecting and supporting each other, you won’t be afraid of getting hurt.”

Xiao Bao nodded as if he understood, then frowned and said in confusion, "But that's not what my mother said. She doesn't let me contact outsiders, saying that many people want to harm me."

Xin Baoer did not refute the child. Instead, she felt relieved. The fact that the child could raise objections showed that the child was not as stupid as he looked, but was good at thinking.

"When we use chopsticks, the thumb and index finger are on top, the ring finger and little finger are on the bottom, and the middle finger is in the middle. You can try it."

Chu Xingchen cooperated very well and brought a pair of chopsticks, patiently helping Xiaobao adjust the posture of holding the chopsticks. When Xin Baoer saw this scene, she also smiled knowingly.

It turns out that patient men are the most attractive!

"When we pick up food, one chopstick is fixed, and we use our fingers to control the movement of the other chopstick to pick up the food. This is what we said before, one movement and one stillness, and one yin and one yang refers to the two sides of everything."

"So what your mother said is not wrong. People's hearts are complicated. There are good people and bad people, there are kind people and there are evil people, but we need to distinguish them ourselves."

Xiaobao's face was tense and distressed, and this look of deep hatred and resentment almost broke Xin Baoer's concentration, and she couldn't help laughing out loud.

"You can ask your dad how he distinguishes them. Asking if you don't understand is also a very good learning habit."

Hearing this, Xiaobao looked up at Chu Xingchen, his face full of curiosity. Chu Xingchen rubbed his little head and said gently: "Daddy has read a lot of books and understands a lot of principles, so he can distinguish them."

“Then I also want to read a lot of books, understand a lot of principles, and be as powerful as daddy when I grow up.” Xiao Bao clenched his little fists and said it confidently.

Chu Xingchen was very happy to hear this, and quickly agreed: "Okay, your birthday will be in a few days, and I will enlighten you then, and teach you to read, learn to write, and learn the truth."

"He can't learn. He finds it tiring to use a pair of chopsticks, so how can he learn anything?"

Xin Baoer's expression changed at this time. She looked at the father and son who were performing a loving and filial act with disapproval. Her voice was cold and broke the warm atmosphere between the father and son. Bijun, who was standing behind Chu Xingchen, was so angry that she wanted to rush over and scratch her.

"I...I can." Little Baoer puffed out his chest, but his tone sounded a little guilty.

Xin Baoer curled her lips, looking distrustful.

"I'll show you!" Xiaobao's baby voice became several degrees louder, shocking everyone in the room who were drunk, and they all looked over.

"Oh, it's so embarrassing if we can't do this." Xin Baoer said exaggeratedly in Xiaobao's ear.

Xiaobao's little face was angry and shy, and flushed red like a ripe apple, which made him look particularly lively. Xin Baoer smiled with satisfaction.

It's more fun this way for kids.

"These chopsticks are really easy to use, and you don't need to exert much strength. You can use the principle of leverage to pick up this piece of meat," Xin Baoer said casually, while extending her chopsticks to a piece of meat bone that looked delicious, and with a little force, she picked up the meat and put it into the bowl, "See, you have to do it yourself to grab the best meat."

After saying that, he took a big bite and looked at Xiaobao proudly. As expected, Xiaobao's eyes turned red with anxiety.

When Xin Baoer was eating, she noticed that Xiaobao had looked at the piece of meat several times. However, the piece of meat was too big and it was troublesome to feed the child. Bijun had always deliberately avoided that piece, so she deliberately used this piece of meat to stimulate the child.

"Daddy, teach me, I want to grab some meat too."

Xiao Bao shook Chu Xingchen's arm anxiously, which made Chu Xingchen feel soft-hearted. Hasn't this child been so close to him for a long time? Ever since Xin Baoer and the others moved in, Xiang Qing has been in a bad mood. No one knows what she said to the child. Xiao Bao was obviously distancing himself from him and ran away when he saw him.

"Okay, okay, Daddy will teach you. Let's learn how to snatch Aunt Xin's delicious food, okay?"

As Chu Xingchen spoke, he looked at Xin Baoer provocatively. It was rare for him to act childishly and follow Xiaobao in making trouble. He smiled with his eyebrows and eyes relaxed. Anyone could see that he was in a good mood.

Under Xin Baoer's contempt and Chu Xingchen's encouragement, Xiao Bao was full of energy. He started with the light vegetables, and after several failures, he finally succeeded in putting them into his mouth. Then, under Bijun's astonished gaze, he swallowed the vegetable leaves that he would never touch on normal days in three or five bites, and then continued to pick up the next vegetable with his chopsticks, as if he had found something fun to do. He was having a lot of fun. In the end, Xin Baoer was afraid that he would eat too much, so she persuaded him to stop.

"Although chopsticks are small, they also contain great truths. For example, their top is round and their bottom is round, which represents that people should be round on the outside and square on the inside in their conduct. Their top is thick and their bottom is thin, which means that a lot can be accumulated over time. I know many more stories like this that are full of truths but easy to understand. I wonder if anyone is willing to listen to them."

When Xiaobao was being carried out by Bijun, Xin Baoer said with pretended regret.

Bijun didn't stop and Xin Baoer didn't care. If it weren't for the child's special status, she really wouldn't be in the mood to take care of the child. She took care of his younger brother a lot in her previous life, but unfortunately she ended up becoming a nanny who was ordered around by him.

Thinking of these things, I find it rather boring. People who have never drunk alcohol suddenly want to taste the flavor of alcohol.

At this time, except Chu Xingchen and Xin Baoer, everyone had drunk a little too much, and Chu Xingchen had just gone out to see Xiaobao and Niu Mama off, so no one noticed Xin Baoer's actions.

After taking a sip of wine, the spicy feeling spread from her mouth to her stomach. Xin Baoer frowned tightly, paused for a while, as if she wanted to confirm something, and took another sip tentatively. The same spicy taste made her cry.

When Chu Xingchen came back from outside, he saw Xin Baoer crying and pouring wine into her mouth in small sips.

"Bao'er, if it doesn't taste good, let's not drink it. Can I take you back to your room?"

Chu Xingchen's voice was extremely gentle, but Xin Baoer obviously couldn't feel it at the moment. She was feeling hot all over, and the aftereffects of the alcohol were not friendly enough for a rookie like her.

Human emotions are also very strange. The more uncomfortable one is, the more bad things one will think about. The grievance and sadness in her heart were about to overwhelm her rationality. She pursed her lips stubbornly, not letting out the burning pain in her throat.

Chu Xingchen looked at Lancao and Mother Lin. Lancao was young, so no one let her drink too much. But even so, she was still a little drowsy. Mother Lin was old and had been busy for so long, so she felt dizzy after drinking a few glasses of wine. It was obvious that neither of them could be relied on.
