Chapter 226 You Must Be You First

Gu Yuhe looked up at the man who slowly stood up, somewhat confused.

Shi Jingyuan walked to the small bridge. He said in a low voice, "I must first be myself before I can become the backbone of my family."

Gu Yuhe tilted his head. "Master, I don't understand."

Shi Jingyuan smiled. "Do you have any hobbies? Or what do you most want to do?"

Gu Yuhe squatted there, thinking again and again. "Hobbies? I like climbing trees, catching fish and snails, and playing with my friends in the village. What I want to do most is sleep until I wake up naturally, and count money until my hands cramp."

"Haha." Gu Yuhe's words successfully made Shi Jingyuan laugh. "You kid, you really dare to think so."

Gu Yuhe rubbed his head a little embarrassedly. The tears in his eyes hadn't dried yet, but he laughed.

"Okay, let's just work on your idea. What you need to think about now is how to sleep until you wake up naturally and how to count money until your hands cramp."

Gu Yuhe stopped talking, and Shi Jingyuan also didn't talk. Instead, he squatted there, observing the bridge in the water and recording the data.

After a long time, the sun had risen.

Shi Jingyuan then patted Gu Yuhe's shoulder. "Let's go, go back and think about it slowly."

Gu Yuhe was somewhat reluctant, and still had a puzzled look on his face as he asked, "But Master, even if I figured out what I should do, can I stop studying? Won't my grandparents, uncles, parents, and sisters force me to study and make progress?"

"No, you still have to read the book."

He lowered his head in disappointment. "Then why should I even think about this?"

“Because when you think clearly, you can learn to be self-consistent.”

Self-consistent?

Gu Yuhe was a little confused again.

But Shi Jingyuan had already walked a long way, so he hurried to catch up. "Master, what is self-consistency?"

“Self-consistency is about blending the things you like with the things you don’t like, and finding joy in that.”

For example, he didn't like reading, but in order to create the strongest and most perfect bridge in the world, he studied hard for more than ten years.

However, it was different from what his parents thought. What he secretly read on weekdays was not the holy words of the imperial examination as they thought, but the way of studying things.

He has been hiding it very well, and they haven't discovered that he has no intention of becoming an official.

"Fusion?" Gu Yuhe felt that he understood a little, but not completely.

He felt that the Master was worthy of being the Master, and every word he said was full of wisdom.

If you can't figure it out, just stop thinking about it. You can ask Zhang Chuyan when you return to school and see him.

He's so smart, he'll definitely understand.

The two walked forward, but when they turned a corner they found Grandma Gu Jiayuehe sitting under the shade of a tree.

Gu Yuhe shuddered all over, and his first reaction was to cover his butt.

Grandma is so fierce, she will definitely beat him.

He thought he had moved back unnoticed, trying to hide behind Shi Jingyuan.

Grandma glanced at him and tried to soften her tone. "Let's go."

Jiayue had just told her that Yuhe was like this because of too much pressure from his family.

She knew her grandson was not a bad boy.

They still didn't do a good job today.

But this can’t be blamed entirely on the Gu family.

After all, they have no experience.

Their lives were too bitter, and they were filled with despair all the way, but because of Gu Jiayue, a ray of light shone into their world.

They were poor, or a little ignorant, but they were not stupid. They knew clearly that this was an opportunity to change the Gu family's fortune.

Who doesn't want to climb up? Who wants to spend their whole life struggling at the bottom?

After picking and choosing, it seems that Gu Yuhe is the only one in the entire Gu family who can support the family.

He is the only hope.

So, the whole family put pressure on him. Even his aunt would cook an egg for Gu Yuhe every day.

Study hard, the future of the Gu family depends on you.

These are very common words, they are the expectations and hopes of our elders.

But for Gu Yuhe, my pressure is a shackle.

He is not even eight years old yet; he is still a child.

Grandma kept reflecting on herself and didn't notice Gu Yuhe's strange look.

Gu Yuhe looked at his grandmother, feeling very strange. Did she take the wrong medicine today? She didn't hit him.

He looked at Gu Jiayue again. Gu Jiayue winked at him and gave him a gentle smile. "Let's go. Class has already started."

Gu Jiayue stood up, and Gu Yuhe realized that something was wrong with her.

"Second sister, what's wrong with you?"

Gu Jiayue waved her hand and said, "It's okay, I just twisted it accidentally. I'll just apply some medicinal wine when I get home."

Gu Yuhe suddenly felt a little guilty. His sister didn't say it, but he knew it was his fault. "I'm sorry."

Gu Jiayue quickly rubbed his head. "It's okay, I don't blame you. My sister has her faults too. We should all face ourselves."

Gu Yuhe nodded repeatedly. "Second sister, hold me up, let's walk back slowly."

"good."

The brother and sister supported each other and walked slowly forward, while their grandmother stood not far away and watched them with satisfaction.

Shi Jingyuan looked at this scene with envy in his eyes.

Look, this is a real sister. Unlike his family, who just threw him into the desert to fend for himself. If it weren't for his good sense of direction, he would have died in the desert long ago.

It’s true that even if one is close to another, sisters are still better off being biological!

Jiang Luli, who was working diligently for Gu Jiayue, didn't know that his closest cousin was complaining about them in his heart.

However, even if he knew, he had no time to care about these little things, because there was something else that made him even more angry.

"Your strategy is as good as shit!"

"It's a miracle that you could write such an article with your empty mind."

"Well, I've finished reading your article. Only this paragraph is well written. But unfortunately, it has to be deleted! You've even gone from Taohua Village to Kyoto. What's wrong? Are you homesick?"

"You are fit to be an official. Everyone who reads your articles wants to die. You will be invincible in the court."

.....

Everyone in the audience lowered their heads, not daring to breathe as they listened to Jiang Luli scolding.

But Jiang Luli didn't think he was cursing anyone, he was just stating the facts.

In his eyes, these articles are really just useless waste paper.

He'd lowered his grading requirements over and over again, and they still gave him garbage.

"Never mind, I'm lucky to have you all."

Don’t be angry, don’t be angry. If you get angry and become sick, no one can replace you.

He is a prince and has a huge fortune, but he hasn't enjoyed it yet.

He was only twenty-five years old and had never even held the hand of his sweetheart.

"Turn to page 138. Today we're going to cover something new..."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. This Jiang Shanchang was really too cruel.

They were just little students, how could they possibly write the kind of beautiful articles he required?

Doesn't this give people time to improve?

They felt that they had grown a lot during this period, but Jiang Shanchang was still not satisfied.

Everyone is worried. Is there any way to get Jiang Shanzhang's brain that is both flexible and suitable for studying?

urgent!
