Chapter 119: Hard to Find in the Human World
Su He heard this and said, "That's fine." He was afraid that the child would be scolded by the teacher and become disgusted with studying.
The moon is an example.
Some teachers have particularly sharp tongues.
"Mom, I really don't like studying. After I graduate from elementary school, I won't go to junior high school. I will stay at home and help you and dad with work." Chunqing whispered to her second sister Gu.
Second Sister Gu shook her head, "No, at least finish junior high school. As long as your father and I can afford to support the four of you, you four should continue to study, understand?"
I don’t know what these children in her family are thinking. They don’t like studying. The opportunity to study is so rare. Many girls in the village want to go to school, and they all envy Mingyue and the others for being able to go to school.
Su He said, "Listen to your mother. It's always good to read more books. Who knows, you might like studying as soon as you enter junior high school like your sister."
The second child, Chunqing, thinks that his attitude towards study will remain the same as before and will not change after entering junior high school, and he will not get a headache when he sees books.
But since the adults said so, she could only accept her fate and continue her studies.
The children went to play nearby. Su He said to Second Sister Gu, "Second Sister, you are right to let the children study. They don't like to study now, but they will definitely be grateful to you when they grow up."
Second Sister Gu sighed, "They don't need to be grateful to us. I just hope that they can live a better life than us in the future, and don't have to work in the fields facing the earth."
"Don't be fooled by their enthusiasm for working in the fields now. They will cry when they really start working in the fields."
There are four children in Gu's second sister's family. Not to mention the two younger ones, the two older ones only do odd jobs around the house and are not allowed to work in the fields to make a living.
Su He agreed, "Yes, working in the fields is so tiring."
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Tomorrow is the birthday of both of you. How are you planning to celebrate it? Going to the county?" asked Second Sister Gu.
Her brother and sister-in-law were different from them. Both of them were on the public rations, had money and tickets, and they had said last year that they would celebrate their two babies' birthdays in the county next year.
As for them, they just cook longevity noodles for their children on their birthdays. They don’t use white flour, but buckwheat noodles, with an egg.
This is still a good family. Most families don’t care about celebrating birthdays.
Su He nodded, "Let's go to my parents' place. They have prepared food for us. After we finish eating, we will take them to take some photos."
She and Gu Jianhua agreed that they would take a photo of the two babies every year on their birthdays to record their growth.
"Okay, let's take a photo with their grandparents." Second Sister Gu suggested.
It’s just that the family doesn’t have much money, otherwise my second sister would take the children to take photos every year.
There is only one family portrait in the house.
After chatting for a while, Second Sister Gu took the children away, and Aunt Wang also went home.
In winter, we only eat two meals a day.
Although they didn’t have lunch, because she was afraid that the children would be hungry, Gu’s mother gave each of them a piece of caozi cake and made them some brown sugar water.
There are five children in the family now, Hongxing, Xueer, Liangbao, and Yaoyao.
Yaoyao is one year old now, and the little girl eats everything.
The two older ones, Hongxing Xueer, drank brown sugar water, while the three younger ones, Yaoyao, Changyi and Changan, drank milk powder.
After they finished eating, Gu's mother gave each of them a candy.
When it came to food for the children, Sister Gu and Team Leader Wang never went short of anything. They would buy canned food, cakes, and candies every now and then.
The same goes for Su He and Gu Jianhua. They never run out of things and always buy some and keep them at Gu's mother's place.
Sister Gu and team leader Wang had originally planned to move back to the city when their little daughter turned one year old, but they couldn't bear to leave her.
I live here now.
The parents have no objection, and as parents they will not dislike their daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren, so the children can live there if they want.
Xiao He Jianhua doesn't care about them at all.
In fact, Sister Gu and Team Leader Wang wanted to move back to the city. They didn't have any other intentions, but they just felt that they had no privacy when the whole family crammed together on one kang at night.
Let’s not talk about my younger daughter for now, she is still young.
But Hongxing and Xueer's two children are already grown up, so it is inconvenient for the couple to do anything.
But if they move back to the city, their younger daughter will have to be taken care of by their grandmother, as they both work and their older brothers and sisters are in school, so there is no one to take care of the baby.
But they were reluctant to leave, and over the past year they felt that living with their parents was pretty good. They didn't have to cook or clean the house, as the elders did all the work for them.
Aside from the privacy issue, there are no other downsides.
Team leader Wang thought that this problem could be solved. At noon, he discussed with Sister Gu, "Wife, why don't we pay and let our parents build a backpack behind the house?"
"Just like Jianhua Xiaohe's new house."
Although the house owned by Gu's parents was newly built, it only has three rooms and there is no space at the back because it was built for the old couple to live in. Who knew that their daughter-in-law and son-in-law would move in?
"Is it possible?"
They have to live in the village for at least five years until Yaoyao goes to primary school.
Sister Gu thought about it for a while, felt it was feasible, and nodded, "Go back home tonight and talk to my parents about it."
For dinner, Mother Gu stewed chicken, using the pheasant that Second Sister Gu brought back.
The staple food is buckwheat cakes, which are unfilled hotpot stickers. They are delicious when you break them off piece by piece and soak them in chicken soup.
Team leader Wang, the third sister of Gu at the table, brought up this matter.
What can the parents say? Just agree. They don’t have to pay anyway. People are paying to build a house for them, so why wouldn’t they be willing?
Having a separate room to sleep in, Red Star Cher and her two children breathed a sigh of relief. It is inconvenient for children to sleep with their parents when they grow up.
Sometimes they woke up at night and heard strange noises.
Unspeakable.
Team leader Wang was in a good mood as he could finally hold his wife to sleep.
The family agreed to build a backpacker behind the house next spring with three rooms, one for each of Red Star and Cher, and one for washing, which is usually used for taking a bath.
the next day.
It was the birthday of the two babies, so Gu Jianhua took half a day off.
Gu's parents cooked longevity noodles for the two babies early in the morning. Knowing that they were going to visit their grandparents in the county and take pictures, Gu's mother stuffed five yuan into Su He's pocket before they left.
"Mom, I have the money for the photo shoot, you can keep it for yourself."
Su He didn't want it.
Her mother-in-law liked to give her money no matter what. She gave her all the money she earned from selling eggs and chickens, as well as the money she got from Third Sister Gu.
Su He has been married into the Gu family for four years. During these four years, she has quarreled with Gu Jianhua and had arguments with her three aunts, but never with Gu's mother.
Su He felt that her mother-in-law was so good that she couldn't find any reason to quarrel with her. She cooked for her, cleaned the house, took care of her children, and washed her clothes.
When a couple quarrels, I never try to make peace and I don't care about you.
They often send chickens, eggs and vegetables to your parents. What reason do you have to quarrel with them?
As for Father Gu, it goes without saying that everything he says is very important.
Comrade Chen Yuling thinks she has found a good in-law family. It is hard to find a mother-in-law like Gu Mu in the world.
