Chapter 205: An Alcoholic Addict Addicted to Gambling
Gu Yuexuan smiled slightly, walked to Tu Suminfei, gently grabbed his hand, and taught him how to plant rice correctly. Tu Suminfei looked at Gu Yuexuan's serious expression, and his heart was suddenly filled with warmth.
"Minyang, come and learn too." Tu Su Minfei called out.
Tu Suminyang came over and stood on the other side of Gu Yuexuan, following her to learn how to plant rice. The three of them gathered together in a harmonious atmosphere.
"Minfei, look, only by planting rice in this way can the seedlings stand firmly." Gu Yuexuan taught patiently.
"Well, I'll remember it." Tu Su Minfei responded, his eyes full of gratitude.
At this time, an old farmer came over from a distance. He was the farmhand of the Tu Su family. Looking at the three people, he couldn't help but praise them: "Master, Second Master, and Madam of the Tu Su family, the way you three plant rice is really beautiful."
Gu Yuexuan blushed, Tu Suminfei burst into laughter, and Tu Suminyang couldn't help laughing. The three of them chatted while planting rice, and before they knew it, a large area of rice seedlings had been planted in the paddy field.
As the sun gradually set, the three of them finally finished transplanting the rice seedlings. Tu Suminfei looked at the neatly arranged seedlings, feeling a sense of accomplishment.
Tu Suting sighed softly, still unable to let go of the worry in his heart: "If that accident hadn't happened, why would we be so anxious?"
"My niece's words are not without reason. Father, why do you have to suffer with us here?"
There was a hint of helplessness in his tone. His eyes swept over Tu Su Min Yang, who was immersed in a mud fight. The worry in his heart became more and more serious. "I'm not a talkative third uncle, but I'm afraid Min Yang's studies must be strictly disciplined."
Just a moment ago, when Tu Su Minyang was scrambling to get on the field, in order to show his determination, he actually used three idioms in a row: a crane standing out among chickens, a cornered dog will jump over the wall, and the donkey in Guizhou has run out of tricks.
He spoke passionately and with great determination, but to others, his words sounded like the harsh sound of a piano, chilling their hearts.
The Tusu family, with a history spanning hundreds of years, has produced many military commanders, but never an illiterate individual. As Tusu Minyang approaches his ninth birthday, his future is a source of deep concern.
The old grandfather hesitated to speak, looking at his grandson with eyes full of complicated emotions.
Education has naturally taken place.
The teaching of the two dynasties' ministers was well-intentioned.
But this child seems to be born with no intelligence!
He was very proud and suddenly looked up to ask for credit from his uncle: "Uncle, has my knowledge made a qualitative leap?"
“I’m studying very hard now!”
Tu Suting looked helpless and closed his eyes. Even his grandfather showed an unbearable expression.
Gu Yuexuan finally couldn't help herself and burst out laughing: "Grandfather, it's true that your students are everywhere in the world, but your own children have become bitter melons."
Yu had originally felt embarrassed for Tu Su Min Yang, but upon hearing this, she couldn't help but smile with a hint of relief amidst the bitterness: "Although Min Yang is not very bright and there is indeed a gap between him and his elder and second brothers, he is better at being kind-hearted."
Being tough and durable is also an advantage.
Faced with his grandson's precarious academic performance, the grandfather could no longer delay and stood up, determined to send the children home.
Before leaving, he reminded Gu Yuexuan, who was secretly laughing, "You have indeed been working hard recently, but you cannot neglect your studies. Come to my place after dinner and listen to my teachings."
Gu Yuexuan coughed lightly, tried hard to suppress her laughter, and wrapped herself in mud and water. She bowed her head respectfully and agreed.
The old grandfather sighed deeply, turned around, and left with the children. Tu Suminfei gently rubbed the dirt from between his fingers and asked curiously, "Has my sister-in-law started studying with Grandpa recently?"
Gu Yuexuan waved her hand lightly, her expression revealing a nonchalant attitude: "I don't need to take the imperial examination, so what profound books can I read? I just listen to my grandfather's teachings occasionally."
"Uncle San, you guys take a break for a while. I'll go check out the shed downstairs."
As soon as she finished speaking, she picked up her belongings and walked away lightly. Tu Suminfei pursed his lips calmly, walked slowly to Tu Suting's side, and asked calmly, "Third Uncle, has the Wei family you just mentioned encountered any changes?"
Tu Suting recalled his grandfather's words, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face. He said vaguely, "Alas, that was all long ago. Why are you still bringing it up?"
Tu Suminfei chuckled, a hint of curiosity in his tone: "I haven't been home for a long time, and I'm a little curious. Uncle San, can you tell me in detail?"
Tu Suting glanced at Xi Lanfang and others who were busy on the other side, hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but began to tell the story in a low voice.
He said with regret, "If you could have seen the scene yesterday, you would know how powerless it really was."
"But then again, if Tu Subo really took action, that would be great. It would teach that scoundrel a profound lesson and stop him from always trying to provoke us. Unfortunately, he is not..."
He kept muttering about his regrets, as if he were personally out there to teach Wei Tianwen a lesson. After listening to him, Tu Su Minfei's eyes flashed with a complex feeling, and he chuckled, "Fortunately, it wasn't Big Brother who did it. Otherwise, if the news got out and the villagers knew about it, they would inevitably label our family as vicious, and our lives in the village would be difficult from now on."
After hearing this, Tu Suting also felt that it made sense.
He stood up and prepared to go to the shed below. Tu Su Minfei lagged behind him half a step, a pensive expression on his face. He asked casually, "From what Third Uncle said, the Wei family often hangs out with ruffians and hooligans. Do they also like gambling?"
Tu Suting's face turned grim. He was about to answer when Yu interrupted him: "Why are you asking such irrelevant questions?"
Yu said with disgust, "That man is nothing but a drunkard addicted to gambling. He's completely incapable of reasoning. Let's just let this matter go. I won't have anything to do with him anymore, lest I be tainted by his foul smell."
Tu Suminfei smiled and nodded, but a hint of deep meaning flashed in his eyes. His fingers hanging by his side rubbed gently.
Is it really a gambling habit?
When Tu Subo returned home, Tu Suminfei had made significant progress after diligent study. He tried planting rice in the fields for the first time in his life, and he quickly mastered the technique. A closer look revealed that his movements were even more skillful than those of Xi Lanfang and others who had been working all day.
Gu Yuexuan saw Tu Subo about to jump into the water and immediately stopped him anxiously, saying, "Don't come down and make trouble again."
"Why is that?"
"We have very few resources left here, and the punctured tent still needs repairing." Gu Yuexuan straightened her back and added, "It's freezing cold at night, how can we endure the draft? Take the newly purchased materials and go mend that hole."
Although Tu Subo couldn't bear to let Gu Yuexuan continue soaking in the cold water field, he agreed after thinking for a moment.
"I'll go fix it now and come back to help you when it's done."
