The next morning, after Zhou Suisui's family finished their meal, Shi Tou came.
"Shi Tou is here, come in quickly, have you had breakfast?"
"Aunt San, I've eaten."
"Come in, the eldest and second kids are already sitting in the room."
It was only when Zhou Suisui arrived that he discovered that Shitou had brought a notebook and a pen with him.
Everyone is poor these days, and the reason why the cultural level is not high is that in addition to tuition fees, children also have to buy various stationery. The expenses are too high for ordinary families to afford. Unless they really love their children, they will not let them go to school.
"Did you bring a notebook?" Zhou Suisui asked.
Shitou nodded and explained: "My mother bought this for me a long time ago. She saved her own money. My mother said that only by studying can I have a bright future."
Zhou Suisui sighed that Mrs. Gu really loved children and was far-sighted.
"Xing Shitou, since today is your first day, you should start with pinyin. The eldest and second children are learning differently from you, as they already have the basics."
"I understand." Shitou nodded obediently. He was already very excited to be able to learn, and now whatever Zhou Suisui said would come true.
Shitou's thoughts are also different from other children. Nowadays, children only think about playing, and studying is not important. Those educated youth came to the countryside to farm just because they were educated.
This is the idea that most parents instill in their children.
But since everyone knew that Zhou Suisui could earn 50 yuan a month with his cultural knowledge, fewer people have this idea.
Everyone is not a fool and naturally sees the benefits of studying, so some people in the village now attach great importance to their children going to school.
Shitou was taught by his mother since he was a child that studying is important. Although Gu Dasao has never been to school, it is not because she does not want to study, but because her family will not support her.
She has always envied girls like Zhou Suisui who can go to school, so she still wants her own children to go to school, even if it is a little girl, she is willing to support her in the future.
After Zhou Suisui finished teaching the three children, he told the eldest and second children, "Your brother Shitou has just started learning. If he doesn't know anything, you should help him. Got it?"
The eldest and second oldest children have always liked the two children from the eldest wife’s house. They nodded and said they understood.
It is very happy to see that the two children have become sensible as they grow older.
Sanwa knew that his three older brothers were studying, so he sat aside and entertained himself without making a sound.
The children will have less worries and the adults can also relax a little. I plan to make brown sugar cake at noon.
Knead the dough with brown sugar water. In order to make it rise faster, I took out some yeast from the storage space and put it in, and set it aside to rise.
Wash the dates, remove the core, and cut them into halves.
Then I went to make lunch. Zhou Suisui planned to make braised pork for lunch, and there was still a piece of meat left from the one I bought before.
Gu Jingheng has to help with the autumn harvest every day these days, which is quite tiring, so he needs to eat something good to replenish his energy.
Zhou Suisui had no objection to Gu Jingheng helping with the autumn harvest.
After all, Gu Jingheng is not at home all year round, and the only thing I can give him as a filial piety is food and clothing. If the old couple really have any problems, they have to rely on the eldest and second brothers Gu.
Although Lin Sanmei is not a good person, Gu Erge is also a good person, so Zhou Suisui won't care too much about it.
Helping with the autumn harvest can be considered as Gu Jingheng's filial piety. Besides, it is Gu Jingheng who really does the work, not Zhou Suisui himself, so Zhou Suisui doesn't care.
Love yourself before loving others, Zhou Suisui explains it clearly.
But I still feel a little sad, after all, Zhou Suisui has already talked to him about it.
As for the secret of his time travel and space, he didn't plan to tell it unless it was absolutely necessary, so as to leave himself a way out.
Steam the rice, and the braised pork is easy to make, so it will be done quickly. Then fry some leeks and eggs, and that’s lunch.
After the dough had risen for a while, Zhou Suisui kneaded it and placed it on the curtain, then topped it with dates and steamed it.
The steamed brown sugar cake is soft, glutinous and sweet, and is loved by both adults and children. Zhou Suisui cut the brown sugar cake into pieces and gave one piece to each of the children.
Shi Tou initially said he didn't want anything.
"What's wrong with you eating a brown sugar cake at Third Aunt's house? If you don't want it again, Third Aunt will be angry." Zhou Suisui pretended to have a stern face.
Shi Tou took it as soon as he saw it and said, "Thank you, Aunt San."
In fact, Shitou was also very greedy. The sweet smell of brown sugar cake kept drilling into his nose, but his mother had warned him before coming here that he should not be greedy for anything he saw when visiting Third Aunt's house. Shitou forced himself to endure it.
Zhou Suisui also noticed that Mrs. Gu had really educated him very well. Zhou Suisui naturally liked the good boy and would not care about the food. He couldn't let the eldest and second kids eat while he watched.
Shitou happily took a bite, his mouth full of sweetness, soft, glutinous and fluffy. Nowadays, brown sugar dates are a good thing, and a family only sees them a few times a year.
Shitou became more and more envious of the eldest, second and third aunts, because their children could eat such delicious food.
"Aunt San is amazing. The food she makes is so delicious."
When the eldest and second children heard Shitou praising their mother, they were overjoyed. "Everything my mother cooks is delicious. We even drink malted milk every day. But my mother doesn't allow us to eat candy. We can only have two pieces a day, and we have to brush our teeth after eating."
Shi Tou: ...He is really hurt. He can’t eat a single piece of rice every day, and he doesn’t even know what malted milk tastes like.
Seeing the envious look on Shitou’s face, the eldest and second kids were satisfied and started eating seriously.
Sanwa was also happily eating a piece of brown sugar cake next to him.
"Shitou, Da Wa and Er Wa each have two pieces. San Wa is still young, so he can have one piece. I'm going to the fields to take food to your father now. Lunch is on the table outside, so you can eat there."
