"That's great. Follow Dad and study hard. Next year, Mom will send you to school."

"Is school fun?"

"Going to school is not for playing. In school you will learn a lot of knowledge and see a wider world." Li Qingyun stroked Dabao's head gently.

Gu Tingzhou nodded thoughtfully.

The eight-treasure porridge for lunch was thick, soft, sticky and sweet. The father and son each drank two large bowls. Gu Tingzhou had a good appetite and ate five large buns in one go, while Dabao only ate one. Li Qingyun drank a bowl of porridge and ate two buns.

There were nine buns left from the ones she brought back in the morning. Li Qingyun took out two to give to her parents-in-law and saved the remaining seven for tomorrow morning.

I thought that the food standards these days were so high that Gu Tingzhou would feel surprised or wasteful, but seeing that he accepted it well, Li Qingyun didn't plan to be harsh on her stomach.

No matter how small the illness is at home, you must eat nutritious food to keep your body healthy.

After taking about two kilograms of cotton and putting them into the kang cabinet, Li Qingyun took the remaining six kilograms of cotton and two buns to Gu's house.

Old Gu Family

After coming home from work and having dinner, Mother Gu was enjoying the cool air in the main hall. She mentioned to Father Gu that when she came home from work today, there was another nosy person gossiping with her, saying that he saw Tingzhou's wife coming back from the commune with a lot of bags.

It's only been a few days, why did she go to the commune again? Even if she has money, she can't spend it like this. How could her two poor grandsons have such a spendthrift mother?

Just as Father Gu was about to say something, he saw the second son's wife coming in from the door carrying a large package.

Worried that the old woman would say something inappropriate again, he immediately stood up and greeted her.

"Dad, Mom, I went to the commune today, and just happened to pick up the cotton I promised to make you clothes.

There are six pounds of cotton here in total. Two pounds are for you two elders to make winter clothes, and four pounds are for the two children to make cotton-padded jackets and trousers. Please divide it up and give it to your eldest sister-in-law.

Also, here are some big meat buns I bought on the way. I don’t have many left, so I’ll give you two to try.”

Li Qingyun chattered a lot, explained the purpose of his visit and prepared to leave.

She didn't plan to take care of her sister-in-law either. Her personality was different from hers. Anyway, her mother-in-law would supervise her, so she just left everything to her mother-in-law.

Father Gu called her over and gave her a polished cane.

"I made this for the second child. It will be more convenient for him to get out of bed sometimes. You can take it back.

And thank you for the cloth and cotton. It's so nice of you to think of us old couple."

Father Gu was a sensible and understanding patriarch, and she liked him very much, so she said politely: "Dad, look at what you said, it is the duty of children to respect their parents."
