Posted to the Sunset Red Elderly Task Force, Mo Yan is cold and aloof: "It's a small matter."
As the saying goes, filial piety comes from discipline. As for ungrateful brats, you ...
The two children quickly comforted their mother, saying that it wasn't her fault before.
Xiao Hua spoke first, "Mother, you love us very much. You have always protected us and made things easier for us."
The three siblings always knew that their mother had a hard life, always had a hard life, yet she still tried her best to protect them, hoping that they could have a better life, and then a better life.
Dahua chimed in, "Mother, don't look forward. We should look back. Our family will definitely get better and better in the future."
All three children are so sensible; no wonder the original owner turned evil because of them.
"Mother knows you are good, and Mother believes things will get better and better in the future. Let's go check on the traps again tomorrow."
This time, all three children spoke at the same time, "Mommy, Mommy, we want to go help."
They secretly followed their mother and only then realized how dangerous it was. Their mother went to fight wild boars all by herself, and she did it for them... They will definitely take good care of their mother in the future.
"good."
Mo Yan didn't stop them; she knew very well that the three children would go with them.
On the other side, the old lady slowly returned with Guabao. Guabao was still questioning life the whole way. If those things didn't exist, how could she earn money?
"Grandma, I'm so sorry, it's all my fault. I didn't earn any money today."
The old lady was very patient with her granddaughter. "It's okay, we can come again later. Grandma believes that my darling will definitely be able to earn money. You're a little lucky charm."
"How about Grandma takes you to the temple to pray for blessings?"
The old lady still remembered that she found a gold ingot when she went to pray for blessings that year, and she was sure that she would find other good things now.
When Guai Bao heard this, she was a little reluctant to go. She didn't believe in such things, and besides, back then... it was Xiao Cao who saved a little kid, and she snatched the gift that little kid gave her as a thank you.
That little brat looks like he comes from a wealthy family, but he seems destined to die young.
She had considered impersonating her savior, but then the man in black appeared, so she quickly hid and watched as Xiaocao ran away with the little kid.
Later, for some reason, the little kid disappeared, and Xiaocao was also injured. When she woke up, she didn't remember anything.
"Grandma, my sweetheart wants to go with you, but that place is very dangerous."
The little grass had an accident back then, and now we're going to go again..."
They were only five years old then. She had the mind of an adult, so naturally she could remember. Now that three years have passed, it's normal that the little grass doesn't remember.
If she were to go again now, she really wouldn't know how to conjure up any silver.
"Grandma, we were just lucky last time, but this time..."
The old lady wasn't worried at all. She reached out and touched the baby's face, smiling happily. "Don't worry, baby, you'll definitely have the best luck."
this……
Looking at her grandmother's unwavering confidence, Guai Bao suddenly felt a little flustered. A bizarre thought popped into her head, and she blurted out without thinking, "Grandma, if I weren't a lucky charm, would you still love me?"
“That’s impossible.” The old lady blurted out without thinking, “You’re a lucky charm, you can’t possibly not be one. As long as you’re here, our family will have good fortune.”
"If I'm not a lucky charm, then you don't love me?" The little girl looked at the old lady with some sadness, as if she had been greatly hurt.
The old lady shook her head and looked at her granddaughter very seriously. "Grandma said you are a lucky charm. You can't possibly not be a lucky charm. Don't worry, Grandma will take care of everything. Don't worry, Grandma believes in you. You are a lucky charm."
How could it not be? Everything over the years has proven it. She never even considered the other possibility.
Upon hearing this, the group's darling's heart skipped a beat; she absolutely couldn't let the fact that she wasn't a lucky charm be discovered.
"Grandma, I understand. So when are we going to pray for blessings?"
She quickly smiled and spoke, as if she really wanted to go as soon as possible.
"Let's go in the next couple of days. It's good to go see him sooner rather than later. I'll get you a fortune slip and ask about your father's current situation."
"Your father has disappeared somewhere. Even if he took the money, he couldn't have left without a word for so long; it's been several days."
Could it be that that brat really intends to spend all his money before coming back?
The thought of this possibility made the old woman's heart ache even more. Oh dear, how could she have ended up with such a son? It's infuriating!
"How did I end up with such a scoundrel as your father? So much money! It'll take our family years to use it all. Grandma was saving that money for your dowry."
Of course, that last statement is definitely false.
After hearing this, Guai Bao suddenly remembered something. "Grandma, I suddenly remembered that Daddy told me the other day that he was going to do something important, and when he came back he would have money to buy me candy. What do you think it is?"
The old lady did know a little. The reason why her son and the other children were able to bring back a few copper coins every month was because they went to work for other people.
Sometimes I would do other things, and the old lady would know a little bit about them, but it was important that outsiders didn't know.
"Never mind him, he'll be back in a few days. Tomorrow my grandma will go to other people's houses to ask if they know anything about him."
I'm afraid these people will run away with the money, or even worse, something bad might actually happen.
"Uh-huh."
...
Mo Yan brought the things to the village teacher's house. He was an old scholar who had passed the imperial examination at the age of fifty. He felt that there was no need to take the exam again, and his family did not have the extra money. So he set up a private school in the village to teach the children. He was more than capable of teaching them.
When the teacher saw Mo Yan, he wasn't surprised at all. Mo Yan had asked him before, saying that she wanted to find a way to save money for her two children's education.
The Master had heard about some of the recent events in the village, including the arrival of the beloved second brother.
The beloved second brother is studying here, while the other two find studying uninteresting and therefore don't come. More importantly, the old lady thinks it's already good enough that one of them is sent here, as each person receives two taels of silver a year.
Mo Yan took out the apprenticeship gift and five taels of silver.
"Master, my two children would like to come and learn from you. Would that be alright?"
The two children understood the situation perfectly. They came over, knelt down, and kowtowed to the teacher.
At this moment, the teacher's kindness is greater than heaven, and kneeling before the teacher is nothing; this is normal.
"Student Dahua pays his respects to the teacher."
"Student Xiaohua pays his respects to the teacher."
The two formally became apprentices and even brought apprenticeship gifts, which is different from what students do.
The teacher smiled and was quite satisfied with the two students' formal apprenticeship ceremony. Of course, he also said, "I am just a scholar. With such a serious apprenticeship ceremony, aren't you afraid that you will meet better teachers in the future?"
Both of them looked at the teacher with great sincerity.
"Without a teacher, none of us can read, so how can we talk about the future?"
"A teacher for a day is a father for life; Confucius is our teacher."
