Mrs. Gu was dissatisfied and wanted to say something, but she was glared at by her mother Gu and dared not utter a word.
Gu Jingheng pretended not to see it. As long as his wife was not bullied, it was fine. If you asked who he was on the side of, it was definitely his wife.
Mrs. Gu couldn't get angry. She lowered her head and looked at Erhua who was crying with her mouth wide open. She stuffed a piece of cake into her mouth. Erhua stopped crying and started to eat the cake happily.
At this time, Shitou from the eldest family asked Zhou Suisui, "Aunt San, are Da Wa and Er Wa, my younger brothers, home? What are they doing?"
Zhou Suisui smiled and replied, "Your brothers are studying at home. They will come out to play in the afternoon."
Mother Gu was stunned when she heard this. "Big and Little Two are only five years old and already started studying?"
"Yes, they are old enough to start learning to read. I plan to send both of my children to school next year."
"The eldest and second oldest are so amazing. Brother Zhuzi is nine years old but he knows fewer words than his younger brother." Shitou said happily.
My younger brother is awesome, he is so proud of himself, and he will be proud of himself when he goes out.
"Oh, that's incredible. You were the one who taught Suisui, right?" asked Gu's mother.
Zhou Suisui nodded, "They are usually too naughty. Teaching them in advance will save them from torturing the teacher at school."
Gu's father said, "The third family has done well. Next year, Dahua and Shitou will also go to school. If you study well, you can continue to study. The family will support you. If you don't study well, you can just stay for a few years and then leave."
Father Gu is still wise. Let’s not talk about anything else, just take Zhou Suisui as an example. If she hadn’t studied, could she make money by writing without having to work?
Reading is still very useful. What makes Father Gu even more gratified is that his two grandsons, Da Wa and Er Wa, seem to be good at reading as well. How can he not be happy?
The first and second wives had not yet separated. Originally, Second Sister Gu wanted to ask why a little girl like Dahua should spend money on studying, but then she thought, it would be a waste not to go, otherwise all the money would be given to the first wife. She was not willing to do that, so she kept quiet.
Mrs. Gu kept her head down the whole time, and no one knew what she was thinking.
It happened to rain the next day, so no one could work, so it was a good day to rest.
Gu Jingheng now went to Gu's house with the things he brought back.
He hasn't been home for a long time, so he has to have a good talk with his parents.
Zhou Suisui is sitting there knitting sweaters. Winter is almost here, so we need to prepare these thick clothes.
Knitting is just one of Zhou Suisui's many skills in modern times. She also knows many knitting methods, and the sweaters she knits are particularly beautiful.
The first piece I will knit is for Gu Jingheng. He will be returning to the army soon. I will knit his first and then the ones for the children.
At this time, Mrs. Gu came. This was the first time that Mrs. Gu came to visit since Zhou Suisui came here.
"Sister-in-law is here, come in, come in." Zhou Suisui greeted.
Zhou Suisui poured out some previously dried hazelnuts as a treat.
"Hey, Third Sister-in-law, your hazelnuts are really big, and they're fried very well."
"I've been going to the foot of the mountain recently when I have nothing to do. There are a lot of good things on our mountain."
When Zhou Suisui saw Mrs. Gu bringing over a package, he knew that something was wrong.
"Look, sister-in-law, these are the shoes I made for you. I know you might not like them, but they are very comfortable to wear. You can wear them when you do some work."
Zhou Suisui looked at the pair of cloth shoes that Mrs. Gu handed over. The stitching was so fine that it was obvious that much care was put into making them.
"Sister-in-law, these shoes are really nice. I love them so much. You are really amazing. I can't make shoes like this myself."
Mrs. Gu smiled and said, "What's so great about that? Your hands don't need to do these things. Your hands are used to make money."
"Hahahaha" Zhou Suisui felt that Mrs. Gu was really easy to get along with and a very nice person.
However, it may also be that after the comparison with Lin Sanmei, Mrs. Gu seems particularly good.
"It's like this. I know you, my third sister-in-law, are very good at studying. I was wondering if you could bring my son Shitou with you when you teach the eldest and second children to study. Don't worry, Shitou is very obedient and won't make any mistakes. And if he makes a mistake, I won't mind you scolding or beating him. I'm just thinking about helping Shitou build a good foundation so that he can study well in the future."
"Although I'm from the countryside and haven't received much education, I know that only by studying can one succeed. I don't want Shitou to end up digging in the fields like me and your brother did."
Everyone understands a mother's love. Who doesn't want their children to have a bright future?
Zhou Suisui nodded and said, "Okay, sister-in-law. From now on, let Shitou come to my house around 8 o'clock every day to study with Da Wa and Er Wa. I like Shitou very much. He is much more sensible than Da Wa and Er Wa."
If this happened to the second wife, it would be absolutely unacceptable. Neither Lin Sanmei nor Dahua, Zhou Suisui, could accept it.
Mrs. Gu was very excited when she heard this and quickly said, "Oh, thank you so much, Third Sister-in-law. Thank you so much for troubling you."
"It's okay, these are just trivial matters. You are being too polite, sister-in-law." These are of course polite words, but who doesn't like to hear them?
When Mrs. Gu left, Zhou Suisui gave her a bag of hazelnuts to take away. These are good things that most people can't eat.
When Gu Jingheng came back in the evening, Zhou Suisui had already prepared dinner, including stewed potatoes with green beans, tomato and egg soup, and the staple food was steamed buns made of two-grain flour.
Zhou Suisui’s cooking skills are impeccable, and the whole family is very satisfied with the meal.
Sanwa can now sit there and eat while grunting, and he can eat anything.
However, considering my third child, I will deliberately make the food lighter and use less salt when cooking, because children cannot eat too much salt.
Zhou Suisui's cooking skills are naturally impeccable. While eating, Zhou Suisui told him about the stone.
"Is she too tired?" Gu Jingheng was worried about what to do if his wife was too tired.
Zhou Suisui smiled and said, "Shitou is an obedient and sensible child, otherwise I wouldn't agree. Two sheep are the same as a flock of sheep, so there's not much difference."
The eldest and second oldest children knew that Brother Shitou would come to study with them starting tomorrow, and they were very happy.
"Mom, Brother Shitou is so nice. He helped us fight with Goudan last time!" Da Wa, the big sieve, says everything.
Zhou Suisui: ...What did she hear?
Gu Jingheng asked quietly, "Who won?"
"Of course it's us!" After saying that, he realized something and looked at Zhou Suisui's expression without saying a word, wanting to bury his face in the bowl.
"Gu Mingzhe, are you fighting outside again?"
Big Boy: It’s over, it’s over, mom called me by my full name.
"Mom, last time Goudan and his friends stole our tin frog, and they beat us up when we refused to give it to them. That's why we beat him." Erwa quickly explained.
In fact, Zhou Suisui was not really angry. It is normal for little boys of this age to fight and play. I just wanted to scare them and let them know that fighting is wrong.
"There won't be a next time!" Zhou Suisui warned.
"Yes, yes, mom, don't worry, we won't cause trouble again." The eldest and second children quickly assured.
Zhou Suisui didn't believe a word they said.
