Educating children cannot be rushed.
The idea that "spare the rod and spoil the child" does not align with Gu An'an's educational philosophy.
Children have independent personalities and need to be reasoned with; this is how you can persuade a child.
However……
That brat is provoking me again.
Are those yellow bok choy growing in the field?
If she doesn't give this kid a good talking-to today, he probably won't even know that the sun rises in the east... no, it rises in the west!
My jaw is trembling.
Gu An'an glanced at it, and the long, drawn-out ending note came to an abrupt halt. The little boy's big eyes darted around. "Mom, do you think I sing well? How well will I sing in the future? I learned it from Qiao Liuliang from the neighbor's neighbor's neighbor's courtyard. His mother died when he was born, and his stepmother never gave him anything to eat."
As he spoke, Jiang Mingxu grabbed Gu An'an's hand and shook it, "Mother is the best. She cooks delicious food for me every day. I love Mother the most."
When it comes to the ability to adapt to changing circumstances, Jiang Mingxu is simply the best among all the children Gu An'an has ever met.
None of the children in the orphanage have his keen eye.
Gu An'an then put on a show of intimidation, saying, "That's right, if they're raised to be plump and healthy, they can fetch a good price."
The little boy panicked when he heard this, but seeing that Gu An'an still had a smile on her face, the precocious Jiang Mingxu realized, "Oh dear, I can eat so much, who would want a glutton like me? Mom, you're really joking."
"I'm so well-behaved, so cute, so cheerful, how could my mother bear to sell me?"
Absolutely not.
"Besides, I can also earn money for my mother. Look at Bao'er, she's different. All she does is eat and play."
Bao'er hugged Gu An'an's neck tightly, "Your Majesty, don't sell the little brother, don't sell him."
Look.
Gu An'an poked her youngest son's head, "Look at Bao'er and then look at you."
What a heartless little thing.
Jiang Mingxu looked embarrassed upon hearing this, "I was just joking, wasn't I?"
He was frightened just now, which is why he said those things.
It is inhumane to frighten children.
However, since it was the mother who did this, it couldn't be more correct.
"Auntie, can I get my wages first?"
Su San Niang was almost dumbfounded watching the mother and son bickering.
Although she was all alone and had no children of her own, she had raised several children in the past, and even the most obedient and well-behaved girls were treated with considerable strictness by Su San Niang.
Unexpectedly, this is how children can be disciplined.
No, what kind of discipline is this?
That's utter nonsense.
They acted like children, and as parents, they lacked any semblance of authority or dignity.
This child is likely to go astray in the future.
The little boy's call of "Auntie" interrupted Su San Niang's thoughts. In a daze, she subconsciously asked, "What do you need the money for?"
"I want to prove to my mother that I can earn money!"
Su Sanniang: "..."
See, she said that at such a young age, all she cares about is making money. She's become so materialistic and doesn't act like a child at all.
"If you don't agree, I'll have to go and see if any other families want to hire children to help out. Maybe I'll get lucky and find one that will pay me in advance."
Su San Niang was speechless upon hearing this.
The mother and son were quite different; one was petty and calculating, while the other was precocious and cunning despite his young age.
This is simply not normal.
But Bao'er started making a fuss, saying, "Your Majesty, I want to earn money for you just like my little brother."
The little girl didn't quite understand the intricacies of the situation, but she knew that her older brother could earn money.
My older brother and sister can also help their mother with chores and earn money.
Bao'er can't be a useless little thing who only knows how to eat and play.
She also wants to earn money for her mother!
Looking at the tiny, pink fist, Gu An'an couldn't help but smile. "Mommy understands. Later, Mommy will find Bao'er a job so Bao'er can earn money to buy things for Mommy, okay?"
Bao'er smiled and hugged Gu An'an's neck, "Okay!"
What an adorable little girl! Gu An'an smiled gently as well. "Mother knows."
Su San Niang looked at the girl and saw that she was also very pretty and delicate. Suddenly, an idea came to her. "Little Gu, you see, whether you're herding one sheep or two, it's all the same. Why don't you bring your daughter over with you? Such a perfect pair of golden boy and jade girl would be just right."
Gu An'an nodded upon hearing this, "Third Sister, you're right. But the effect is better if two people work together, so isn't doubling the wages a bit too little?"
Upon hearing this, Su San Niang was at a loss for words.
This Gu An'an is obsessed with money and has no regard for neighborly relations. She reeks of money!
Gu An'an wasn't angry that she didn't answer; she didn't like being taken advantage of.
So it's fine if Su San Niang takes out real gold and silver, otherwise why all the nonsense?
Su San Niang ultimately couldn't bear to take any more money.
After agreeing on the terms, Gu An'an took the two children home.
Jiang Mingxu counted the copper coins in his hand repeatedly. "Mom, I have money now. Shall we go to Taibai Restaurant for dinner?"
Gu An'an asked with a smile, "Is my cooking not good?"
This tone made Jiang Mingxu hurriedly explain, "Mom's cooking is the best in the world. I've never eaten anything better than Mom's cooking. But Mom, you work so hard cooking every day. Besides, today is Bao'er's birthday. Let's celebrate for Bao'er, okay?"
Even a chef specializing in state banquets can easily get tired of cooking the same few dishes over and over again.
Gu An'an wasn't stupid; of course she knew what the little guy was thinking.
