Xu Jingniang had always thought highly of her eldest son, who was intelligent and sensible. However, her son grew up, and was either busy with school or called over by the old man every day, spending most of his free time playing with Little Nine. Xu Jingniang vaguely remembered that the last time they sat together and chatted, it was probably when she was pregnant with Little Nine.

Xu Jingniang listened to Mo Pingchu talking about her childhood with mixed emotions. After a while, she laughed and said, ”How old were you at that time? How could you remember that?”

Mo Pingchu refused to accept it and said, ”Mom, you forgot, I just learned how to speak and dad already taught me how to read. I still remember dad writing a wall full of words in the study, telling me to recognize them one by one.”

Xu Jingniang thought for a moment. ”That's right. You're two years old and already know how to study. Your grandfather is praising your intelligence.”

Mo Pingchu pretended to be uninterested as he said, ”Little Nine will be two years old in a month, shouldn't she be able to learn to read now? How about I teach her after school? ”

Xu Jingniang frowned and said, ”You are so nervous about your studies right now. How can you have the time to teach her? Furthermore, Little Nine is not as intelligent as you were when you were young. Even now, she still can't speak clearly.

Mo Pingchu disagreed, ”It's not that Little Nine is not intelligent, it's that she is lazy. She knows everything, but she is too lazy to talk much, let alone read. ”My grandparents are already old, and just chasing after Little Nine is already tiring enough. You and dad are busy, so Little Six and the others only know how to be used to Little Nine. They can't control her at all, so they don't have the time to teach her a lesson.”

Xu Jingniang had always been worried about Little Nine's current situation. Hearing Mo Pingchu's words, she felt that he was very considerate, and she couldn't help but sigh at Mo Pingchu's meticulous thinking.

Xu Jingniang pulled Mo Pingchu and sighed, ”You know what mother is thinking. Mother told you, I dreamt of Little Nine yesterday. She was tall and strong, with thick arms and legs. She woke me up just like that. ”Tell me, if a good girl doesn't run around everyday, she would just eat her food. What can she do if this goes on?”

Mo Pingchu saw that Xu Jingniang followed his train of thought and said, ”Mom is right. Little Nine is the only girl in our family. Naturally, we have to be well-mannered. Currently, we are studying all day long, and Little Nine is the only one at home. Although we have Rui as a companion, Rui's personality is too soft and he loves to cry. ”I heard that there is a nursery in the capital that specifically teaches children from one year old to six years old to read and speak. Many officials and ministers send their children there. If Little Nine were to go, she would be able to learn a few things and also get to know more playmates, right?”

The old man and the madame were both very pampered by her, and seeing that the little girl's temper was becoming more and more overbearing every day, it would be good if she could send her to that whatever nursery to get more contact with the other children and learn to talk and change her personality.

Seeing that Xu Jingniang was interested, Mo Pingchu hurriedly added, ”Little Nine never went out since she was born, right?” Had he never been to the ancestor's house? If she could go out, she would definitely be overjoyed. ”

Xu Jingniang couldn't help but feel depressed. Logically speaking, Little Nine should have been more than ten months old, but apart from moving to another house, she hadn't left the house once, let alone going to her parents' home. Last year, on her father's birthday, she had thought of taking Little Nine with her, but the old man and the old lady were both worried that if they bumped into each other, they wouldn't let her bring Little Nine back, even though Little Nine was already so old and didn't even know her grandfather and grandmother. Xu Jingniang felt wronged just thinking about it.

It was time for Little Nine to go out for a walk. A child of her age couldn't stay in the mansion forever, could she?

Mo Pingchu, who had been carefully observing Xu Jingniang's demeanor, couldn't help but to feel overjoyed. This was too overbearing! The first step of the battle plan was a huge success!
