Chapter 236 Learning Experience

After Gu Zhenhua's special suggestion, Xu Xiaodong took the two children to the Lin family's banquet, as they didn't have to go to work.

As for Gu Zhenguo and the others, they need to go to work, so they don’t need to make this special trip at noon, which is troublesome.

After the discussion, Lin Xiangnan and the others turned around and left.

"I bought shoes and candies for my two little nieces. When my sister-in-law comes, she can take them back." Gu Zhenjun said with emotion: "It's not easy for my sister-in-law to marry into our family."

Lin Xiangnan was also happy to subsidize Xu Xiaodong.

With Xu Xiaodong and Gu Zhenguo around, it is not their turn to take care of the matter concerning Gu Chouni and her husband.

If anything happened to Gu Zhenguo and his wife, Gu Chouni would definitely find other children to take care of them in their old age.

The unit and the street will not care about the disputes that happened at home many years ago.

Even if Gu Chouni and her husband did not fulfill their responsibilities as parents, Gu Zhenhua and others still have the responsibility to provide for them in their old age, unless they dare to give up their bright future.

So when Xu Xiaodong came to visit the Lin family, Lin Xiangnan was particularly enthusiastic towards her.

"If you have any troubles while you are at the Gu family, please write to us and we can work together to find a solution."

Xu Xiaodong pulled up her hair and said a little embarrassedly, "I have a small matter that I really need to trouble you with. Before you leave, can you come to the Gu family again?"

"Beat your man again?" Lin Xiangnan asked tentatively.

Xu Xiaodong gritted his teeth and said, "Yes. There are some things that you can say easily, but it's not easy for my parents to mention them. Who told me that I didn't give birth to a son for the Gu family?"

Gu Chouni was an extremely patriarchal person, but Xu Xiaodong gave birth to two daughters.

The current policy does not have a one-size-fits-all policy that only one child can be born. Families with a daughter can have two children.

So Gu Chouni wanted to send her granddaughter away and let Xu Xiaodong give birth to another son.

The Xu family's ideas are also somewhat conservative. When Gu Chouni mentioned it, Xu's father and mother were moved and urged Xu Xiaodong to have another child.

"My daughter is already that big. Who can I send her to? Besides, if I have another daughter, will I have to give her away and then have more..."

Xu Xiaodong said angrily: "The old witch can torment me, but don't even think about tormenting my daughter."

Unfortunately, her parents' family is not helpful in this matter, so Xu Xiaodong can only rely on his brothers Gu Zhenhua.

"I have been looking forward to your return for the New Year. Now that you are back, Zhenhua must have a good talk with his elder brother and teach him how to be a father."

Gu Zhenhua could only empathize with this kind of thing, so Lin Xiangnan directly accepted it on Gu Zhenhua's behalf.

"Don't worry, Zhenhua will come to visit in a couple of days. He's on vacation at home anyway, so he can do nothing."

"Then I'll wait for you at home."

After chatting with Xu Xiaodong, Lin Xiangnan got up to entertain other guests.

Besides relatives, most of the people who came to the house for dinner this time were people from the steel plant. After all, Hu Meili had worked there for most of her life, and Lin Xiangdong had taken over her shift and continued to work there.

There weren't many college students in the steel plant, and no family had three college students like the Lin family, so the leaders of the steel plant came to celebrate. Only the Zhou family didn't come, after all, Zhou Kangmei and Lin Xiangdong almost got married, and Director Zhou's visit to the Lin family was awkward for both parties.

On an occasion like today, there are no leaders, only parents.

"Our comrade Hu Meili, even though she has retired, is still making a difference in her family and has trained three college students. Do you have any experience? Please analyze and summarize it for us so that we can learn from it."

What teaching experience could Hu Meili have?

She takes care of the children, just keeping them alive. She takes care of their food and clothes, but doesn't care about the rest.

Working to earn money was so hard that Hu Meili had no time to take care of her child's education. The child's admission to university was entirely due to his own efforts and Lin Xiangnan's dedicated tutoring.

This is the fact, but Hu Meili didn't have the nerve to say it so bluntly when so many relatives, friends and old leaders were listening.

"When it comes to educating children, I have some experience." Hu Meili said seriously.

"First of all, it's the children's health. They can't just study, they have to exercise. In the past, my three children would go out to run and play, and I wouldn't bother them much. It's good for their health."

The guests who listened attentively could not help but nod their heads. Lin Xiangdong went to the countryside many years ago, and they forgot what happened back then. But in the past two years, Lin Xiangnan and Lin Xiangxi, the two siblings, really loved to play and were not at home.

Although Hu Meili was making up a story, she didn't dare to make it up. Although she looked calm and composed, she had already thought about it several times in her mind.

"All three of my children were able to get into college, mainly because I valued learning. If any of them didn't study hard, I would grab their ears and scold them. If I got angry, I would even use a feather duster..."

The onlookers all kept these words in mind.

"Not only did the stick produce filial sons, but it also produced top-ranking scholars. Hu Meili, you are good at educating children."

"I still remember you chasing the kids with a stick. You used that stick really well. You beat up three college students."

Being flattered by everyone, Hu Meili became even more inflated.

"I'm not bragging, but my three children read for at least two hours every day, without fail. They used to read quotations from great men, and later read professional books... Even though Xiaonan is the top student in the province, she loves to play the most. I have to keep an eye on her. If she dares to be lazy, I will beat her with a feather duster..."

Seeing that she was getting more and more excited, Grandma Hu couldn't help but pull Lin Xiangnan's sleeve and asked in a low voice: "Is what your mother said true? How come I never paid attention to it?"

Lin Xiangnan chuckled, "Just listen to my mom's bragging."

"I just said that your mother had nothing to do with the three of you going to college." Grandma Hu couldn't help rolling her eyes, "Except for the fact that she beats the children, I don't know what else is true."

Family members know their own business. Grandma Hu understood Hu Meili too well. After listening to Hu Meili's talk for a while, she quietly stayed away from the gossip circle.

But the others didn’t know that they wanted to write down even the punctuation marks of what Hu Meili said.

This is a mother who raised three college students. The most amazing one, Lin Xiangnan, even got the provincial top scorer and was featured in the newspapers!

They also want their children to get into college, so when they return home from the banquet, each family's children are in misery.

Don't read? The stick comes straight to you.

This is how Lin Xiangnan was urged to get into Peking University, and their children can do the same.

During the Chinese New Year, there were few children playing with firecrackers on the streets, as they were all confined to their homes to study. From time to time, there were bursts of crying from the homes of children.

"I don't like reading, I just like blasting cow dung!"

"Cry again? If you cry again, I'll spank you! Do you still want to go to college?"

"In no mood!"

"You want to!"

Hu Meili then thought to herself, "I haven't even graduated from elementary school. They actually believed the study method I told them about."
