Chapter 68 A rebellious girl with high intelligence definitely needs to be properly educated.
"Yes, you did the right thing. We can't let our younger sister be bullied! But what does this have to do with Lao Wu?" Tong Yuheng wasn't trying to instill bad ideas in his younger sisters.
"Hehehe, Fifth Sister nailed a hooked wire to the corners of those two girls' chairs and tables, tearing their clothes and pants, hahaha!"
When Xiaoqi was having lunch with her two older sisters, she saw her fifth sister secretly tinkering with something. Considering what had happened to her two older sisters that afternoon, she guessed that her fifth sister was getting revenge for her.
"Why did they start fighting?" Tong Yuheng wanted to confirm his guess.
"They're just stupid!" Yu Han didn't want to explain further, a slight smirk playing on her lips, giving off a somewhat cynical vibe. Sigh! Why does she give off a rebellious teenager vibe?
"I don't know, but their clothes are all torn with big holes, they're definitely going to get a beating when they get home! Hehehe!" Xiaoqi covered her mouth and laughed.
Yuheng thought to herself, "This must have been Xiao Wu's doing." She sent a note to each of the two maids who bullied her younger sister, saying that it was someone else's doing. They were demanding compensation for each other's clothes, no wonder they were fighting.
This is remarkably similar to how she drugged Fan Eryong, knowing he would go to Widow Zhou to relieve his lust, and then threw a note to Han Ailian saying that their Section Chief Hu had gone there and asked her to catch him in the act of adultery!
Sigh, this highly intelligent rebellious girl definitely needs to be properly educated!
"Yuhan, if you have any conflicts with your classmates at school in the future, it's best to resolve them face to face. Your classmates are still children, not enemies. Unless they are inherently bad, it's simpler to resort to fists."
Yuheng, the fifth-grade student, said, "You're just too active and bored. How about this: if you have the energy, finish the eighth-grade curriculum, and then learn some English with Mom. You can skip a grade in the second half of the year and go to the first year of high school with your third and fourth sisters!"
Tong Yuheng discovered that Xiao Wu's intelligence was exceptionally high, even surpassing Yu Yao's in some ways. Her mind was highly active and needed an outlet.
Let her learn more things then. It's always good to have more skills, right?

The next morning, Tong Yuheng and her younger sisters went to exercise together. She took out the steamed buns and vegetables she had prepared in her space the day before and gave them to the younger ones to eat before going to school.
Linglong was instructed to cook a large pot of porridge. Yuheng shredded the pickled mustard greens, stir-fried them with minced meat, added some sesame oil, and placed them on the large round table in the east room.
"Linglong, go and push the desks together to form a table, put a tablecloth on it, and set out bowls and chopsticks for fifteen or sixteen people! I'll watch the fire; Company Commander Li will bring men to help us build the wall in a little while!"
"Oh! Sister, why didn't you tell us yesterday? What are we going to feed the soldiers for lunch?" Linglong felt that the soldiers shouldn't be treated unfairly.
"I've already prepared everything. I made it after you all went to sleep last night, so don't worry about it. When they arrive, just make sure they have tea and water!"
She steamed over a hundred large steamed buns and prepared breakfast and lunch. How could people who come to work all day only eat one meal?
At 8:00 sharp, Li Chensong arrived on time in a military truck carrying a load of young soldiers. They jumped out of the truck one by one, full of energy, and asked what kind of work needed to be done.
"Let's not talk about that now. Breakfast is ready, you can have some first." Tong Yuheng invited everyone into the house.
"Yes, yes, we've made some porridge, let's eat something hot before we get back to work!" Linglong quickly added.
The young soldiers, all around eighteen or nineteen years old, looked shyly at their company commander. Seeing that they were ready, Li Chengsong ordered everyone to have another meal. They were at a crucial stage of growth, and having eaten breakfast around six in the morning, they had mostly digested it; they could easily eat a whole cow's worth.
The young soldiers sat at two tables, and Li Chengsong joined them. On the tables were round bamboo baskets piled high with large steamed buns, each as big as Xiao Qi's face. The fragrant mustard greens served in large bowls whetted everyone's appetite.
They didn't let Linglong serve them porridge; instead, they each took their own bowls and orderly filled them one by one from the large pot, then buried themselves in their food.
The army can ensure the soldiers have enough to eat and tries to feed them well, but supplies are scarce, and meat is still very rare. They eat radishes, potatoes, and cabbage almost all winter, and only have real meat once a month.
This minced meat and mustard greens porridge, thick and sweet rice porridge, plus soft white steamed buns, is absolutely delicious!
The soldiers ate very quickly, finishing their porridge in ten minutes. Each of them ate only one steamed bun before saying they were full and wanted to wash their own dishes. Linglong quickly took a large enamel basin, collected their bowls and chopsticks, and took them out to wash.
"Just tell us what to do, and everyone will follow your orders!" Li Chengsong said with a smile.
"These are flawed bricks. I want to use them to build the backyard wall. I need double-layered bricks, that way it'll be stronger." Tong Yuheng said, "No rush, just get the backyard done today!"
"This little bit of work takes a whole day? It won't even take half a day!" a young soldier said.
"Let's go, brothers! Let's get to work!" Another young soldier led the way out of the back door of the main room.
As soon as the weather warmed up, the villagers started to come out and chat. When they saw so many young men from the Tong family, they all ran out to see what was going on and started talking about it.
"Where did all these young men come from? They all look so energetic!" said an older woman.
"Didn't you see the military trucks? Aren't they obviously a bunch of soldiers?" Her husband mocked her for being ignorant, trying to show off his own sharp eyes.
"What's the connection? Why are they hiring so many people to do chores for their family? Is one of the soldiers their daughter's boyfriend?"
Hearing the villagers' discussion, Li Chengsong stepped forward and said, "Hello everyone, we're from a nearby military unit. We need the help of comrades Tong Jiahui and Tong Yuyao, so we're having soldiers on leave build a wall for them. Consider it a labor exchange!"
"Oh, is that so? How can they help the army? If they need our help, we can help too!" A shameless old woman struck up a conversation with Li Chengsong.
"I'm sorry, this involves military secrets and I can't say. Have you been to university? Only university graduates can help with this," Li Chengsong explained seriously.
"Oh? You need college students? Well, I can't do that!" The old lady quickly stepped back.
"Wow! These kids' mothers are college students! No wonder they always seem so refined!"
"Even college students weren't labeled as intellectuals? What makes her so special?!" Another discordant voice rang out, and it was obvious that it was that loudmouth Lin.
Tong Yuheng was too lazy to pay her any attention today, giving her a cold glance. Lin Dalaba was afraid of her and hid in the crowd, not daring to make a sound.
