Chapter 155 Unique Educational Method
The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves onto the mottled stone road, casting a warm light and shadow.
Tu Subo stood there, his head lowered, his face embarrassed and guilty. Gu Yuexuan looked at him, and a trace of sadness rose in her heart.
Gu Yuexuan said softly, "Brother Bo, don't be too sad. Everyone makes mistakes. What's important is how we face and correct them."
Tu Subo raised his head, a flicker of gratitude in his eyes, but he still couldn't shake off the guilt in his heart. He whispered, "I know, but I really regret why I said that."
At this time, Tu Suting walked over. He looked at Tu Subo with deep sympathy in his eyes. He patted Tu Subo on the shoulder and said slowly, "Bo'er, everyone makes mistakes in life. The key is to learn to reflect on yourself and not make the same mistakes again."
Gu Yuexuan looked at Tu Suting and smiled, "Third Uncle, you're right. Brother Bo, let's go look at the ditch where the water is released. A change of scenery might make you feel better."
Tu Subo nodded and followed Gu Yuexuan and Tu Suting to the ditch where the water was released.
The water surface was shimmering, and the blue sky and white clouds were reflected in the clear water. Gu Yuexuan pointed to a small waterfall not far away and said to Tu Suting, "Third Uncle, look over there, the water is splashing, how beautiful it is. Why don't you accompany me to see it?"
Tu Suting smiled slightly, a tacit understanding flashing in his eyes. He knew what Gu Yuexuan meant. He nodded and followed Gu Yuexuan towards the waterfall.
Tu Subo stood there, looking at their backs, feeling a mixture of emotions. He secretly told himself that he couldn't let this happen again and must be careful with his words and actions.
After a while, Gu Yuexuan and Tu Suting came back. Gu Yuexuan smiled and said to Tu Subo, "Brother Bo, look how happy Third Uncle is. He said the scenery here is more beautiful than the famous mountains and rivers he visited when he was young."
Tu Subo forced a smile, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. At this time, Tu Suting walked over to him, gave him a sympathetic look, and whispered, "Brother Bo, I understand what happened just now. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, so don't take it to heart."
Tu Subo looked at Tu Suting gratefully and nodded slightly.
The three of them sat on the rocks beside the ditch and started chatting. Gu Yuexuan deliberately brought up the topic to make Tu Subo relax. She asked Tu Suting: "Uncle San, you traveled to so many places when you were young. You must have many interesting stories, right? Can you tell us some?"
Tu Suting smiled slightly, a glimmer of nostalgia flashed in his eyes. He gently stroked the texture on the stone, as if recalling the past years.
"What an interesting story..." He coughed lightly, adjusted his sitting position, and began to narrate, "When I was young, it was a time full of passion and adventure. I left the mansion and traveled across the country, witnessing many extraordinary people and stories."
Gu Yuexuan's eyes lit up. She knew that Third Uncle's story must be very exciting. Tu Subo also leaned forward slightly, his attention completely focused on Third Uncle.
"Once, I went to a place called Deep in the Clouds. The scenery there was picturesque and beautiful. There I met a woman named Aning. She was beautiful, smart and kind, and we fell in love at first sight." When he said this, Tu Suting showed a shy smile on his face.
Gu Yuexuan and Tu Subo smiled at each other. They didn't expect that their uncle had such a side to him.
"But the good times didn't last long. A local bully took a fancy to Aning and wanted to take her away. When I found out, I decided to help Aning. We joined forces to fight against that bully." Tu Suting's expression became firm.
Gu Yuexuan asked nervously, "Uncle San, did you succeed in the end?"
Tu Suting nodded. "After a fierce battle, we finally defeated the bully. But unfortunately, Aning was seriously injured while trying to protect me. I had no choice but to take her to seek medical treatment everywhere, and finally found a way to treat her injuries at a Taoist temple called Qingfeng Temple."
Tu Suting paused, his eyes darkening. He continued, "After Aning's injuries healed, we decided to leave Yunshenchu and find a place where we could live in peace. However, on the way, Aning unfortunately met with another accident. She sacrificed herself to save me."
Tu Subo and Gu Yuexuan were both shocked. They didn't expect the story to end like this.
Tears welled up in Tu Suting's eyes. "Aning's sacrifice left me heartbroken. It took me a long time to recover from the trauma. Since then, I have never been to the Cloud Depths again."
Gu Yuexuan gently held Tu Subo's hand. She could feel his mood. She comforted him, "Uncle San, you must miss Aning very much, right?"
Tu Suting nodded: "Yes, I will never forget her. But I also understand that life is like this, full of separations and regrets. We must learn to cherish the present and the people in front of us."
Tu Subo agreed with this. He looked at Gu Yuexuan and secretly vowed to cherish the woman in front of him.
As it got dark, the three of them returned home together.
…
The old grandfather now seems to have a much gentler temperament. He has become more amiable towards Gu Yuexuan and several younger generations, and his words and actions reveal a rare kindness.
However, only Tu Suting and Tu Subo knew that the unique educational method adopted by this elder for his descendants who could endure hardships was like the power of thunder and lightning, shattering all stupidity and ignorance.
Tu Subo knew very well that he would have to bear the corresponding punishment for his inappropriate words, and the price would be heavy.
…
Gu Yuexuan walked around the field, carefully examining Tu Subo's tillage efforts. Her smile grew even brighter. She squatted down, grabbed a handful of soil, and gently kneaded it, a flicker of surprise in her eyes.
"Tu Subo, your grandfather is really amazing. He taught you to be so proficient in farming." Gu Yuexuan looked up at Tu Subo, her eyes full of admiration.
Tu Subo smiled slightly, with a hint of pride in his eyes: "Grandfather has indeed taught me a lot, but this is also inseparable from your encouragement and support."
Gu Yuexuan blushed upon hearing this. She gently patted Tu Subo's shoulder and said, "Tu Subo, you really impressed me. Can you share with me how your grandfather taught you?"
Tu Subo looked at Gu Yuexuan's curious eyes, and his heart moved. He took Gu Yuexuan's hand, walked to the pavilion nearby and sat down.
"My grandfather said that farming is no small matter and every inch of land needs to be cared for with care. He taught me that the soil should be turned deeply and finely so that the crops can grow better. He also said that punishment is not the goal, but to make people understand the seriousness of the mistakes and correct them." Tu Subo said, his eyes becoming deep.
Gu Yuexuan listened intently, frowning slightly: "Then how were you punished?"
Tu Subo smiled, a hint of mischief flashing in his eyes: "Grandfather's punishment is very interesting. He asked me to take care of those neglected corners, so that I can experience the importance of every inch of land firsthand."
Gu Yuexuan couldn't help laughing when she heard this: "I see, your grandfather is really smart. This kind of punishment not only makes you understand your mistakes, but also makes you cherish more."
The two smiled at each other, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
