Chapter 38 Losing temper with children
Looking at Gu Yuexuan leading the children away, Li smiled and couldn't help but sigh: "Speaking of which, Xuanxuan has a gentle and kind personality. She is really loved by the children."
Tu Su Yanting has been weak and sickly since childhood. She was spoiled and difficult to approach. However, she has an inexplicable sense of closeness to Gu Yuexuan. Even a gentle and shy girl would rather follow Gu Yuexuan and play around her.
Xi Lanfang observed Gu Yuexuan's care for Tu Su Minxu and Tu Su Yunxi, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face involuntarily.
Several childish voices called her "sister-in-law", and she naturally took good care of the children, as warm as the spring sun.
Yu thought for a moment and blurted out, "Sister-in-law is truly blessed."
Although she has a slightly rough personality, she has spent half her life as a marquis's wife, and after her husband's death, she is still protected by her son and daughter-in-law. Such luck is rare and enviable.
Although there was a hint of worry in her voice, it did not interfere with the work in her hands.
The villagers holding the hoes didn't understand why they had to dig the pit, but they gritted their teeth and devoted themselves to the work.
In the front yard, Tu Su Yanting held a handful of tender green chives in her hand and asked softly, "Sister-in-law, is this how you pick them?"
Gu Yuexuan took the children away to prevent them from getting bored and making trouble, but at the same time, she also kept them busy, so she distributed the cut leeks to them to choose from.
Children do not have the complicated thoughts of adults. Even if it is a trivial matter like picking yellow leaves, once they feel involved, they can actively participate.
She lit the fire, looked back, gave a thumbs-up with satisfaction, and praised: "You are really excellent!"
"Where's mine? Sister-in-law, look at mine!"
Tu Suminyang couldn't wait to raise the leeks in his hand, excitedly: "Look, isn't it fast and clean?" His eyes flashed with anticipation and pride.
Gu Yuexuan gently rubbed the tops of Tu Su Minyang and Tu Su Minxu's heads and smiled happily: "It seems that I really underestimated you. You two are both quite talented."
Without adult intervention, haven't they all become capable little assistants?
Tu Su Minxu came over a little late to offer his flattery, proudly raising his slender neck. Driven by curiosity, he asked, "Sister, how do I eat this? Does it taste good?"
While planning the dishes for dinner, Gu Yuexuan playfully teased him, "Do you want to find out?"
Tu Su Minxu nodded impatiently, his mouth watering.
"think!"
She squatted down and gently pushed up Tu Su Yanting's sleeves. She looked at the children's expectant eyes and said with a hint of mystery, "Then, how about letting you taste it after it's done?"
“The moment it comes out of the pot, you will be the first to try it.”
As soon as the words fell, Tu Su Minyang and Tu Su Minxu suddenly felt that they had shouldered an important mission. Their faces were filled with happy smiles, and they clapped their hands to express their agreement.
Even the shy Tu Su Yanting couldn't help but pout her lips slightly and hummed.
Tu Subo walked out of the door at an inadvertent moment, staring at the scene intently, and caught the unique tenderness and love for children in Gu Yuexuan's eyes, which made him involuntarily reveal a warm smile.
Watching Gu Yuexuan playing gently with the child, Tu Suting's usually hard heart couldn't help but soften a little.
It was a rare day for him to return home early, but seeing this scene, he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sadness in his heart. He forced himself to suppress his emotions, turned around and cast a reproachful look at Tu Suye: "Look carefully, who is manipulating all this behind the scenes!"
His tone was filled with dissatisfaction, and his eyes were like knives as he glanced at Tu Suye sharply: "Look at your useless and ridiculous appearance! Have you forgotten that children have sharp eyes? If they saw you like this, they would probably laugh like crazy!"
Tu Suye's face turned blue and purple, he snorted coldly, walked to the door with heavy steps, and pushed open the heavy door.
"Dad, you're back!" Tu Suminyang ran over excitedly and said proudly, "Dad, look, I picked the leeks. My sister-in-law said I did a great job. I..."
"What a useless thing!" Tu Suye's voice exploded like thunder. He roughly pushed his son aside and scolded him gloomily, "As a gentleman, you should stay away from the kitchen. But you followed a woman to the stove without knowing what you were doing! What did your mother teach you? You are really shameless!"
Tu Su Minyang was pushed hard and fell to the ground. His eyes were red as he looked at his angry father but he didn't dare to make a sound.
Seeing this, Tu Subo quickly helped him up. He ignored Tu Suye's anger and pointed to the leeks that had been selected in the wooden basin. He gently asked Gu Yuexuan: "Xuanxuan, do these leeks need to be washed?"
His voice was full of warmth, bringing a touch of relief to the tense atmosphere.
Gu Yuexuan slightly restrained the smile on her lips, gently stretched out her hands, and gently pulled the trembling Tu Su Minyang behind her.
"Minyang, don't be afraid. Grandpa and grandma asked you to come and help. Good children are always the most lovable."
She slowly squatted down, carefully wiped away the crystal tears from the corners of Tu Suminyang's eyes, and gently comforted him: "Our grandfather is a wise man who knows the world well. As long as you follow his guidance, you will not go astray."
People who are too old to carry bricks and stones take their anger out on innocent children as soon as they enter the house.
Can you be called a man if you are like this?
Tu Suye was so shocked by the profound meaning of her words that his body trembled, while Tu Subo had already rolled up his sleeves and prepared to wash the vegetables.
He dragged a small stool over and sat down, then called out, "Minyang, come here and help me get some water."
Tu Suminyang looked around, trying hard to suppress the fear in his heart and force the tears back into his eyes.
Tu Suting couldn't bear to see his child suffer such injustice. He couldn't help but sneer and said, "Minyang, follow your elder brother and sister-in-law's words. Your father is a mess. How can he distinguish right from wrong?"
"Yanting, go wipe your brother's tears gently, then come and help your sister-in-law prepare the meal."
Tu Su Yanting gently took out her exquisite handkerchief and handed it to Tu Su Minyang.
He took the handkerchief, and with a flick of his sleeve he covered his eyes, and said in a low, muffled voice, "I obey my grandfather's will."
His mother and elder brother had already told him to obey his grandfather's teachings.
Anything that is considered proper in the eyes of my grandfather must be impeccable.
He wiped away his tears, ran briskly to the water tank, shook the ladle in his hand, and went forward to scoop water.
Tu Suye never expected that after venting his anger, he would be ignored. His anger burned like fire and he could hardly restrain himself from taking action.
However, Gu Yuexuan said coldly, "Second Uncle, Grandfather and Grandmother are busy in the backyard. If you still have the energy, why not go over and lend a hand?"
