Chapter 273 Home Visit 1

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Gu Jiayue decided to go on a home visit.

Before the holiday, all the teachers assigned homework, but after the holiday, I could see the children having fun in the village every day. I wonder if they took the teachers' words to heart.

So, Gu Jiayue decided to conduct a surprise inspection!

The first people to be checked were naturally the children in the family.

Hua Chao assigned Gu Zhigeng and the others the homework of embroidering ten pairs of embroidery, and the two sisters had already completed five pairs.

"It's well done, the stitches are dense, and the colors are very bold and vivid." Hua Chao took the embroidery handed over by the two children and commented on it seriously.

Now Hua Chao is not only a teacher in the school, she also has invested in Jixiang Cloth Shop.

So as long as she thinks a work is good, she has the right to directly decide to buy it.

Although the works of the Gu sisters are still immature, they have a liveliness and agility that mature embroiderers do not have.

So she chose the three best embroidered pieces and took them away on the spot.

Gu Yuhe, who was standing aside waiting for Gu Jiayue to check his homework, was filled with envy at seeing his two sisters actually making money.

"Second sister, I want to embroider too."

"Ah?" Gu Yuhe's words confused Gu Jiayue who was checking her homework.

Gu Yuhe pointed at her two sisters who were counting money. "Embroidery can make money, but I need to study for a long time before I can earn money."

Gu Jiayue and Hua Chao looked at each other and finally couldn't help laughing.

Gu Jiayue closed her homework and said, "You only see your sisters making money, but you haven't seen them saving money to buy needlework, nor have you seen them staying up late to think of patterns, match embroidery threads, and draw patterns. Since ancient times, no one has ever had money easily."

Gu Yuhe scratched his head. "I know, second sister, I was just joking." I was just jealous of the sisters making money.

Gu Zhigeng and Gu Bailu also covered their mouths and laughed secretly. When they had laughed enough, they moved closer to Gu Yuhe.

Gu Zhigeng smiled and said, "Don't be jealous, little brother. When a peddler comes to the village, I'll buy you some Ding Ding candy."

Gu Yuhe's eyes lit up. "Really?"

"Of course. Why would we lie to you?"

"Great, great, fourth and fifth sisters are the best, you are my favorite sisters." Gu Yuhe's happy good words came out as if they were free.

“Cough cough cough…”

Hearing the cough, Gu Yuhe turned around with a smile on his face and said, "Second sister is also very good." It would be even better if there were less homework assigned.

Gu Jiayue glanced at him and said, "Alright, you're so smooth-talking. You've done a good job on your studies. I'll allow you to skip the next two days and finish the rest of your studies on the fourth day of the New Year."

"Second sister, second sister, you are really my good sister." This time the tone was obviously more sincere and emotional than before.

Gu Jiayue stopped talking to him and went out with Hua Chao, aiming to visit all the students in the village within two days.

"Yuhe? Where are you going?"

After Gu Jiayue's voice disappeared on the path, Gu Yuhe also tried to sneak out, but was still seen by the sharp-eyed Gu Bailu.

He quickly signaled Gu Bailu to stop talking.

"What do you mean by being so sneaky? Didn't my second sister tell you that you can go out and play?" Gu Bailu was confused.

Gu Yuhe looked around and found that they were the only two in the yard. He then lowered his voice and said, "Sandan and the others have been having fun these past few days. They definitely haven't done their homework. Should I go and inform them in advance? So they won't be caught off guard."

Gu Yuhe is the most loyal person.

Gu Bailu suddenly realized that his younger brother was going to inform the public?

"Then go ahead. Remember to come back for lunch at noon." Gu Bailu felt that this was not a big problem. His second sister had already gone out anyway. Even if Gu Yuhe went to inform her now, it would be too late. It was impossible to finish several days' homework in just a few hours.

Maybe if Gu Yuhe gave such an advance warning, those naughty boys would be scared.

Gu Bailu found it funny when he thought of that scene. "Okay, okay, I'm leaving. Fourth sister, remember to keep this a secret for me." After saying that, Gu Yuhe ran out of the house and disappeared into the path.

Gu Jiayue first came to Li Sandan's house, which was closest to her home.

"Hey, Jiayue, you're here? Come in and sit down." Although the villagers didn't go out to the fields due to the New Year and the weather, those who were used to being busy couldn't sit still.

When Gu Jiayue arrived, Sandan's mother was sweeping the yard with a broom, while Sandan's father was holding a hammer and wood, hammering something behind the house.

After telling Gu Jiayue to sit down, Sandan's mother took a few steps back. "Master, stop working for now. Jiayue is here."

Gu Jiayue's status in Gujia Village is very high.

There is even a tendency to surpass the village chief and clan elders.

When he heard that it was Gu Jiayue, Sandan's father quickly put down what he was doing and walked over. "Jiayue is here? Have you eaten yet? Ask your aunt to make you a pancake?"

Gu Jiayue quickly waved her hands. "No, no, I've already eaten at home. Where's Sandan?"

Sandan's mother came out with two bowls of warm water, and before she could answer, Sandan walked out of the room.

"Master!"

Li Sandan used to be one of the most mischievous children in the village. He would tease cats and dogs every day. Villagers would often come to her house to ask what Sandan had done.

The couple would apologize and beat their child as soon as they opened their eyes every day.

But since the village set up a school, Sandan went there to study for a period of time. Not only did he stop being naughty, but his personality also became much more stable, and he also helped with housework.

Sandan's parents were very pleased, and they couldn't contain their enthusiasm when they saw Gu Jiayue. "It's okay to eat it. I'll go pick up some potatoes and fry them for you guys."

Gu Jiayue quickly stopped him. "No need, Auntie. I'm here today to check the children's homework and see if there's anything they don't understand."

Upon hearing that this was Gu Jiayue's intention, Sandan's mother became even more enthusiastic. "It's okay, it's okay. Just check yours. I'm really good at frying potatoes, you must try them."

Although oil and salt are expensive, this is Sandan's benefactor, so what's wrong with spending a little? If it weren't for the children, he wouldn't come to visit.

As long as her son Sandan can become a better person, she would be willing to fry her, not to mention frying potatoes, or even frying Sandan's father.

Seeing that she couldn't organize it, Gu Jiayue could only let Sandan's mother do it.

"Sandan, go get the homework you've been doing lately. Also, bring any textbooks you have questions about, and I can explain them to you."

"yes."

Sandan quickly took out his homework.

Sandan was a very conscientious child. Judging by what he wrote, he was diligently completing his work, not perfunctorily. "Well, not bad. You have a positive attitude and are working hard. And I see you've already finished most of your homework. Did you stay up late?"

Sandan scratched his head a bit embarrassedly. "I didn't stay up late, I just lost track of time while writing."

As soon as he started writing, Sandan felt that he had entered a very special state. He could not perceive anything in the outside world and was completely immersed in the ocean of books.

At this time, he was unaware of the passage of time and almost every time he had to wait for his mother to call him back to his senses.

"This child is like this. One day, his mother and I were busy planting wheat, so we asked him to watch the fire in the kitchen. Unexpectedly, the kid was so engrossed in reading that he didn't even notice that the water in the pot had boiled dry. If his grandmother hadn't come over, my kitchen would have suffered that day." Sandan's father complained, but the smile on his face was full of pride.

Hey, there are not many children in the whole Taohua Village who can study as well as her son Sandan. How can he not be proud?

Sandan was a little embarrassed. "I didn't mean to. I just forgot."

"Sandan is a hardworking and smart kid." Gu Jiayue complimented him very cooperatively.

The smile on Sandan's father's face became even brighter.
