Chapter 307: Lessons Learned from Planting Trees
"Su He, Tinghua, why are you here again?" Fu Dajun asked hurriedly.
The use of the word "again" is very magical. One must really not want the two of them to appear to be together to say such a thing.
"Dad, let's bring Zaizai and Niuniu to experience planting trees." Su He was a little embarrassed. This showed how much he disliked her and Fu Tinghua.
"Oh, the two kids are still young, so there is no need for them to plant trees. We haven't asked the other kids in the family to plant trees yet." Fu Dajun said with a smile.
In this day and age, when children are called out to work, they basically really work.
How could someone like Su He do this, to educate his two children and let them experience planting trees?
People nowadays have problems with food and clothing, so where do they have the time to teach their children all these miscellaneous principles?
"It's okay, it's okay. Don't worry about us. We will cultivate this piece of land by ourselves."
Su He pointed to a mountain not far away and said, "We brought our own hoes this time."
After saying that, he pointed to the backpack carried by Fu Tinghua, which contained two hoes.
Fu Dajun was helpless. He had never seen anyone who loved to work so much.
They are all thinking about how to be lazy and how to relax.
The youngest son's family, on the other hand, rushed forward to help with the work.
As expected, he really has a kind heart.
"Okay, just let me know if you need help." Fu Dajun didn't say anything else to spoil the fun and just let them go.
Su He and Fu Tinghua took the two kids to the other side of the mountain, and then said to Zizi and Niuniu, "Dad and Mom will be responsible for digging and burying the holes, and you will be responsible for taking out the saplings and putting them in the holes. Make sure they are placed neatly."
"Don't worry, Mom. I can definitely do it. But..." Niu Niu's eyes rolled around, and it was obvious that she was a naughty child thinking of some bad idea.
"What is it?" Su He asked patiently.
"Mom, can we go pick some mushrooms later? I haven't eaten mushrooms for a long time." Niu Niu was very excited.
She hasn't been to the mountains for a long time. In her impression, mountains are fun.
"But we are working now, not coming to the mountains to play." Su He spread his hands helplessly.
"Then after we're done with our work, can't we go find Gugu?" Niu Niu said a little disappointedly.
"Okay, then let's wait until we're done with this and see if we have time, and then make a decision, okay? Niuniu, you have to remember that everything has its priorities. Mom said yesterday that I'll take you to the mountains to plant trees today. This is the main task, do you understand? After you complete this task, we'll do other things." Su He educated her daughter earnestly.
She feels that explaining some truths to her daughter in life is more effective than instilling chicken soup in her for no reason.
"Mom, I understand." Although she might not be able to eat the mushrooms she likes, Niu Niu is a child who listens to advice.
"Mom, I want to dig a hole." The kid next to her suddenly spoke up.
Su He and Fu Tinghua were a little surprised. Fu Tinghua couldn't help but said, "Zizi, are you sure? There is no small hoe here. You can't lift this big hoe."
Nowadays, hoes are basically of the same quality. How could there be a lighter one made specifically for children?
"I just want to try it." Zizi said in a firm tone.
"Okay, fine. Then when we dig the hole later, you can use the one in mom's hand. It's lighter than the one in dad's hand. Now mom and dad will dig the hole first."
Zizi had no objection, so they started to divide the work and cooperate.
Seeing this, Chen Sufen on the side couldn't help but say, "Oh, look at the two kids in Su He's family, they are so calm and well-behaved."
"Yes, come for my Zhuangzhuang, my heart is wandering around in there." Zhang Xiaohua also glanced in the direction of Su He and the others, then smiled and shook her head.
"Well, it's normal for boys to be a little naughty and playful. Don't you have a girl named Daya in your family? Daya is a very hardworking girl." He Fangfang smiled and praised Daya.
She is already in school and is the oldest child of that generation in the Fu family. She has been very well-behaved and obedient since she was young.
She never complained when her family asked her to help with any chores.
During the summer vacation, the Fu family was busy with the autumn harvest, and it was basically Daya who helped Wu Yanhua to prepare dinner for the Fu family.
"Our eldest daughter is a little too sensible. I'm afraid she will suffer in the future." Zhang Xiaohua couldn't suppress the smile when she heard the other two sisters-in-law praising their eldest daughter.
But Zhang Xiaohua also felt that Daya’s personality was a bit like Fu Yanju’s.
When at her parents' home, everyone might like this kind of personality, after all, she can help share some of the burden at home.
But if I get married and go to my husband's family, I will probably be worried for the rest of my life.
If she meets a good in-law family, they may be pleased that their daughter-in-law is well-behaved and sensible, and thus treat her better.
But if you meet a bad person, you will probably be bullied.
"Oh, sister-in-law, you are worrying too early. Isn't my Erya's personality even more worrying? She is a little introverted, doesn't like to talk, and is timid." He Fangfang couldn't help feeling a little helpless.
Because her daughter's personality is so similar to hers, He Fangfang taught Erya at an early age to talk more, try to please her grandmother more, and not be afraid of this or that.
However, because of He Fangfang's strict education of Erya, Erya became even more afraid of He Fangfang, and hid as soon as she saw her biological mother.
This made He Fangfang very worried.
"Erya seems to have become much more cheerful after playing with Niuniu for a long time." Chen Sufen comforted He Fangfang.
After hearing Chen Sufen's words, He Fangfang's frown finally relaxed.
"Yeah, recently, she has learned to make friends actively. After hanging out with Niuniu for a long time, her personality has become much more cheerful."
"Yes, Su He's two kids were well educated by her. You don't know, Zhuangzhuang is the king of the boys in our family on the surface, but one day he told me that, in fact, all the boys in their group basically listen to Zaizai." Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but sigh.
"No way? The kid is so young, why would he listen to him?" He Fangfang asked in surprise.
"Don't underestimate him because he is young. He already knows that studying hard can lead to success. It was before Tinghua came back or when he just came back. I forgot when it was. Zhuangzhuang told me that Zizi said if he didn't want to be a farmer and work in the fields, he should study hard." Zhang Xiaohua said with a sigh.
"Oh my God, such a young child knows all this?" Chen Sufen was also shocked.
It's no wonder they were surprised. Before Fu Tinghua was featured in the newspaper, even they didn't take the words "study hard" seriously.
Although the Fu family has a college student like Fu Tinghua, the sisters-in-law of the Fu family always think that it is Fu Tinghua who is smart.
If you have land at home and you are not good at studying, can't you still farm?
Therefore, they will not force their children to study hard. It all depends on whether the children are interested in learning.
