On the book, there indeed were pictures of babies, but they were all names of herbs and recipes for treating diseases and saving people. She sat on the ground, holding the book, and started reading it carefully.

After Chen Zhong had finished his own work, he found that Tang Yuxin was still inside. She had been there for several hours. Could a child really have such a good focus?

Anyway, he had never seen one like her.

He went over and found that Tang Yuyu, who was inside, was slumped against the corner of the table. She had fallen asleep unknowingly. Indeed, she was holding a book in her small hands. It was the medical book passed down from his family. Of course, the child did not know how to read, she was only looking at the pictures of babies.

And thus, she had fallen asleep while reading.

Chen Zhong shook his head. He fetched a blanket to cover Tang Yuxin, letting her continue sleeping. Children will always be children, with their variability.

After he left, Tang Yuxin opened her eyes. Her eyes were bright, showing no sign of sleepiness. In fact, she was awake all the time. She had pretended to sleep only after hearing Chen Zhong’s footsteps.

She felt it was better to be a carefree three-year-old. Chen Zhong said she was extraordinarily precocious. But being too precocious was not a blessing, but rather a curse, especially in this era. Villagers were very superstitious. Anything abnormal was considered a demon. She didn’t want to be thought of as a demon, so she must be careful in the future.

She flipped through the book again and resumed reading with interest.

However, she was very careful. She was reading the book, but her ears were catching the sounds around. Every time Chen Zhong was about to come in, she would either be playing or sleeping, or holding the book upside down, or mumbling to herself. She presented herself as a normal child.

People in the village have started the busy planting season. Therefore, everyone in the village was very busy. Li Tang Village is a vegetable-growing area. All families not only have their own vegetable plots but also share some part of the river beach where they can plant sweet potatoes, peanuts, and potatoes. However, the land of Li Tang village is most suitable for growing vegetables, making it a large vegetable-producing area. The nearby villages are also vegetable-growing areas, with their dedicated vegetable wholesale centers. During farming season, everyone in the village gets so busy that even children help in the field, being either help or not interrupting adults.

Recently, Tang Yuxin has been staying with Chen Zhong. Otherwise, Tang Zhinian really wouldn’t know how to deal with his daughter. The field is both dirty and dusty. If he was busy working, he couldn’t take care of her. Looking at the children of other families who were clean when they went to the field and rolled into mud balls when they returned home, and they couldn’t go home until noon sometimes and had to eat the pancakes brought from home. They, as adults, could make do, but children couldn’t. Despite being poor, he never let his children suffer. Fortunately, Chen Zhong liked Tang Yuxin very much and was willing to look after her, managing her meals, sleep, and playtime

Seeing this, others thought about how much this could save them and wanted to send their children to Chen Zhong as well. However, Chen Zhong’s stern face not only deterred the adults but also scared the children into crying, forcing them to refuse to go to Chen Zhong’s.
