Chapter 53

Chapter 53 Inheriting the Merits of that Man After dinner, Vivian left. The two children were very conscious. Ethan ran to wash the dishes, whileSofia wiped the table clean and put the chair down. Seeing the children so sensible, Emily couldn’t helpbut be happy. After Sofia finished doing the housework, she ran over and hugged her. She said in asoft and cute voice, “Mommy, what are you going to do after you finish your work?” She thought aboutit and came up with an idea. “When I finish washing the dishes, Mommy will teach you how to read andlearn idioms. How about it?” It was about time they learn these things. She had already bought the textbooks for the next few yearsin advance. Taking them to preview their future studies would make things easier. Although, with theirintelligence, she was not worried about their future grades… There was no harm in previewing it. Thinking of this, she was very satisfied and got excited. Sofia thought about it, patted her tender little hand, and responded, “Okay! Sofia wants to learn!” Her face was full of excitement, and she laughed and showed her little teeth. She was so energetic andcute. Emily shouted at the kitchen, “Ethan, are you done washing?” “Yes, Mommy!” Ethan answeredand ran to her.

“Brother, Mommy said that she wanted to teach us idioms!” Sofia shook her brother’s arm. Ethan looked at Emily, his face full of interest. He nodded Emily told them, “Let’s go to your bedroom. Mommy will teach you the contents of the third gradetoday!” She took out the materials that she had prepared beforehand and took the lead to enter the room of thetwo children. Then, she sat before the desk and let the two children, one on each side, sit next to her. “Come, read it to Mommy. This word is called “self-evident”. It means that even if one doesn’t explain,the other knows it.” She pointed at the word in the textbook and carefully taught the child. “I know,Mommy. And this one, this one is ‘articulate!”

Sofia nodded and repeated. She took out a piece of paper and wrote it down one by one, teaching the two children to write.“Mommy, it’s interesting to learn idioms. But it’s a little easy.” In the end, after learning four books,Ethan shrugged. Sofia also thought so. “Mommy, are there any other courses? I still want to learn!”They were obviously not tired at all and were in high spirits. Emily was a little embarrassed and pulledout a smile. “Mommy hasn’t bought the textbooks for higher levels. I’ll teach you when I get them. Youguys play for a while first. Mommy is going out.” “Ok, Mommy, goodbye!” They said goodbye to herobediently and did not forget to clean up the textbooks on the table for her. She shook her headhelplessly. The IQs of these two children were terrifying. They learned so fast. They were still inkindergarten, but they had already learned all the second-grade courses. She did not know how manytimes she had sighed in her heart. They didn’t get it from her. She was not that smart. They probablyinherited their father. The man who she didn’t even know. At half past nine, she ran to the children’s room and urged, “It’slate. You should go to sleep.” Seeing them turn off the lights, she ran to the study and began to study the ancient medical skills thather master had left behind. Her master left her a few very thick books. Most of her medical skills werefrom this. Because it was too profound, she still had so much to learn. At eleven o’clock, Lucy came in and said, “Emily, it’s so late. Get some rest.” She yawned,acknowledged, and then put away the medical book. The next day, she sent Sofia off. After Ethan went to kindergarten, she went to Mr. Hawking’s medicineshop. She needed to go there to buy some medicinal herbs. She looked at Mr. Hawking and greetedhim, “Morning, Mr. Hawking. I’m here to buy some medicinal herbs.” When Mr. Hawking saw her, hewas particularly enthusiastic and invited her into the reception room. “Ms. Armstrong, you’re finallyhere. I’ve been studying a medical book recently. It’s a remnant of an ancient book. There are severalplaces that I haven’t figured out yet. I was just about to ask you to help me take a look!” Emily saidsomewhat awkwardly, “Mr. Hawking, I might not be able to understand it either.” She did not want to waste too much time here. Mr. Hawking waved his hand and insisted, “I know! But

it won’t hurt to take a look, right?” She had no choice but to follow him to the inner room. She knew thatMr. Hawking would not let her off easily. Mr. Hawking took out a book from the bookshelf. It was old andthe pages were yellow. She took it and looked at it. It was indeed a remnant of an ancient book. Therewere many formulas recorded in it that could still be used now. The train of thought was strange,different from ordinary medical skills. Unfortunately, the latter half of the book had already been lost. She could not help but say regretfully, “This is incredible.” Mr. Hawking smiled and waved his indexfinger. “You obviously have great knowledge, yet you like to play dumb! You little girl!” Emily smiled andsaid, “I have little experience and my medical skills are much worse than yours. I may not know morethan you do.” Mr. Hawking understood what she meant and did not force her. He changed the topic andsaid, “You just said that you wanted to buy medicinal herbs. What do you want to buy? What is it for? Isit for Lucas’ treatment?” She nodded and said in a low voice, “Yes, to treat him, in addition to using needles, I also need somemedicine. This time, I want to add one more thing, medicinal cuisine.”
