Chapter 193: Self-reliance



Now, Chengcai spends his days studying. Every morning, he organizes the questions he didn't understand on the first day and then asks the three old men about them.

He would teach the four of them, including Zhu Zi, whenever they had questions they didn't understand.

It was already late at night and Chengcai was still studying. Tingting was a little worried when she saw how hard he was working.

You can't just study all the time; you also need to rest.

“Jianjun, look at Chengcai and Zhuzi, they’re all reading at night now. This candlelight is too dim.”

“Wife, I know what you mean. This is the first time Cheng Cai has seen so many books. He’s really excited.”

"Let's wait a few days. If it's still like this, I'll take them out to play."

“Honey, I think it’s a good idea. I’m happy that they’re studying, but now that they’re working so hard, I’m starting to worry.”

"Only after becoming a parent do you realize how difficult it is."

Now Tingting makes them different delicious meals every day, and these children eat a handful of walnuts every day.

Anyway, there was nothing to do in winter, so Tingting took out the walnuts from the space and Jianjun started cracking them.

Chengcai felt complicated when he saw how hard his aunt was working for them.

Although his parents have passed away, he has experienced their care here, and he no longer envies others.

From the time he read so many books during that period, he realized just how lucky he was.

He saved Zhu Zi, but most people would help you with food and drink.

But his aunt and uncle decided to help him change his fate and give him the opportunity to study.

Having enough to eat and wear is a temporary help, but learning is a lifelong endeavor.

He finally understood why his uncle and aunt wanted him to spend time with the three grandfathers.

They could teach themselves the contents of the books, but even the most profound truths still needed to be explained to them by the three grandfathers.

Of course, there were other reasons as well. Chengcai also came to understand his aunt and uncle's good intentions.

"Come on, let's take a day off today. I'll make you something delicious."

"But today you will have to do it yourselves. When you grow up, you will still have to rely on yourselves."

"Mom, will you not be able to stay by our side after we grow up?" Shi Tou pouted as soon as he heard that he could rely on himself.

“You’ve grown up, and we’re still here, but your parents still want to go out and have fun. You can’t always rely on your parents.”

"There's no other way; these kids are starting to learn how to cook."

Stone and Iron Egg wash vegetables, Pillar and Youcai chop vegetables, and Chengcai cooks vegetables.

Tingting and Jianjun did this for the sake of these children. When they go to school in the future, their parents won't be around, and they'll have to rely on themselves for everything.

"You must learn to be independent and do your own things yourself."

"You guys, wash your own clothes during this period, but you have to learn to take care of yourselves. Don't be lazy in winter, use hot water for everything."

"Mom, you've changed. Why do you do everything yourself? You weren't like this before."

“The past is the past. Now you all have to be independent. You’re all grown up now, not little kids anymore.”

The children pouted but didn't say anything more, since they listened to what their parents said.

These children worked hard all night, and they worked together as a team. The family is waiting for them to have dinner.

Although it was a bit slow, everyone felt a great sense of accomplishment, after all, they were able to cook for themselves.

"Mom, this dish is really delicious today," Zhu Zi said as he ate.

"Actually, you did a good job. When you get older, you'll all have to learn to cook for yourselves, but overall everyone did well and performed very well."

The children were quite happy to be praised, and they became even more enthusiastic about their work.

Chengcai used to do all the housework and take care of Youcai himself. This is the first time he has ever felt so happy cooking. Maybe it's because he has a family now.
