Chapter 209: Good job, Old Three
"No, I don't agree. Brother, if you came here for this, then go back. I won't agree." Gu Yan said coldly.
"No, Third Brother, Shuanzi is your nephew, can you bear to see him delayed?
You have maids and old women at home, so even if Shuanzi comes, you don’t have to worry about taking care of him.
It’s just a matter of adding a few more pairs of chopsticks, and we will also deliver food.
Moreover, Shuanzi can accompany Xuanxuan when he comes. Brothers fight tigers together, and fathers and sons fight together in battle.
Although Shuanzi and Xuanxuan are not blood brothers, they are cousins and they can look after each other in the future. ” Gu Nian tried his best to persuade Gu Yan.
"Brother, you don't have to say anything. This is not a trivial matter. I can't bear such a heavy responsibility." Gu Yan said.
"I just let Shuanzi stay at your house for a while, what could happen?" Gu Nian said unconvinced.
"That's not the case. On the surface, it seems like not much is going on, but actually, there are a lot of things going on.
Let me put it this way, the child is bound to have a headache or fever or something, and I will have to worry then.
Also, when children go to school, do they need tutoring when they come back?
I'm not usually at home, so Wanqing takes care of all this. It's okay for our own children, but we can't take care of other people's children." Gu Yan thought clearly.
"How can Shuanzi be someone else? He's your nephew.
Third brother, you just don't want Shuanzi to come. Are you afraid that Shuanzi will be stronger than Xuanxuan in the future?" Gu Nian thought he had guessed the truth.
Gu Yan glanced at Gu Nian and was speechless. Was he afraid that Shuanzi would learn better than Xuanxuan?
Tsk, just relying on Shuanzi? It's not that his uncle looks down on him, but how can he compare to Xuanxuan?
Although Xuanxuan has only been in school for one year, even the teacher in the school said that Xuanxuan is a good student.
Not only does he learn things quickly, but he can also apply what he has learned to other situations. Now Xuanxuan has been promoted from Class D in elementary school to Class C.
According to the teacher, Xuanxuan will be able to enter Class B in the second half of the year, and the teacher also secretly told Gu Yan that as long as Xuanxuan continues to do so.
Not to mention passing the imperial examination to become the top scholar, passing the imperial examination to become a juren would certainly be a piece of cake.
The reason why the teacher said this to Gu Yan was because he was afraid that Gu Yan would not pay attention to Xuanxuan and would not allow Xuanxuan to go to school for various reasons in the future, thus delaying his studies.
Gu Yan knew what the teacher meant, and repeatedly promised to support Xuanxuan in the imperial examination.
So what Gu Nian said was ridiculous, and Gu Yan didn't even have the mood to argue with him.
"Think whatever you want. I have to go to the farm later to keep an eye on Brother Chun Geng. You should go back." Gu Yan ordered him to leave.
"Okay, Third Brother, you're great. Now that you've become successful, you no longer look down on me.
It’s best if you don’t need me in the future.” Gu Nian was embarrassed by Gu Yan and turned away with a flick of his sleeves.
Seeing Gu Nian leave angrily, Gu Yan didn't even blink and went straight into the house to find Li Wanqing.
"What's wrong? Big brother, what's the matter? He doesn't want you to introduce a boyfriend to his daughter, does he?" Gu Yan said this in the yard just now, but he never entered the house, so Li Wanqing didn't know what they talked about.
"No, I want Shuanzi to go to school in the county town and then stay at our house at night." Gu Yan said.
"What? Live in our house? You agreed?" Li Wanqing was surprised.
“No, I’m not stupid. Having another child in the family is more than just another mouth to feed.
In addition to eating and drinking, there are many other things to pay attention to.
We can beat and scold our own children if they make mistakes.
Are other people's children any good? If you don't handle it right, you'll end up being a nobody.
I'm not stupid, so I wouldn't do such a thankless task.
I refused at the time and walked away with a big smile on my face." Speaking of this, Gu Yan was still a little proud.
"It's a good refusal. I really don't know what the boss and the others were thinking. Our relationship is obviously not that good, so how could he have the audacity to send the child to our home?" At this point, Li Wanqing couldn't help but admire Gu Nian and the others.
Even though you have had a falling out several times, after a while, he can act as if nothing happened and still try to get close to you.
“Next time they come, tell the servants to tell them we’re not here and don’t let them in.
"I really don't understand what they are talking about. We have treated them with courtesy every time they come these days, making them forget their status." Gu Yan said.
"I understand. Next time they come, I won't let them in." Li Wanqing had no choice but to entertain them.
It turned out that it was for Gu Yan's sake, and also because they wanted to keep their distance. Since they were coming, they were allowed in to have a drink.
Unexpectedly, they went even further and not only wanted her to find a husband for their daughter, but also wanted to send their son to his family.
"Okay, no matter what they say, we just won't agree. Aren't you going to Qingshui Town today? Go quickly." Li Wanqing said when she saw Gu Yan's unhappy expression.
"Well, I'll go then. There are no eggs at home. I'll go to the farm and get some when I come back.
There are also duck eggs. We have run out of salted duck eggs at home. I will bring some back so you can pickle some.
Oh, and don't you like eating wild vegetables? I've already told Chunxia to dig up some whenever she's free.
I'll pick some up today, and we'll have dumplings stuffed with shepherd's purse and pork tonight." Gu Yan seemed to swallow his saliva at the end of his words.
Li Wanqing found it funny. What did she mean by "shepherd's purse"? Did he like it?
But it’s not a big deal, and she is willing to indulge him.
"Okay, let's have shepherd's purse and pork dumplings tonight. Don't you like pig ears and pig intestines?
I'll also make you some pig ears and stir-fried pig intestines with chili peppers. And your favorite Chenji Laojiu." Li Wanqing said with a smile.
"Okay, wife, I'll leave first." Gu Yan kissed Li Wanqing on the face and left.
Li Wanqing touched her cheek and smiled sweetly.
Li Wanqing is very satisfied with her current life. Although she and Gu Yan have been married for several years, Gu Yan still treats her the same as before.
And the two of them have two lovely sons.
The family has enough money, her husband loves her, and her son is sensible. It can be said that she has traveled back to ancient times. Except for some inconveniences in life, everything else is good and she is very satisfied.
After enjoying the beauty of her own life for a while, Li Wanqing asked someone to bring Hengheng over.
Li Wanqing takes care of the children herself whenever she is free.
"Mom, mom, look, these are earthworms. These are the earthworms I dug." Hengheng ran in with his little hands raised.
"Hengheng, what did you say? Earthworms? Quick, take them out.
"Juzi, take Hengheng out to wash his hands." Li Wanqing isn't afraid of anything except snakes, earthworms, and other cartilaginous animals.
"Mom, this is for you, this is for you." Hengheng was still there, stretching his little hands towards her.
"Hengheng, take it out quickly."
"Second Young Master, can I take you to wash your hands first?" Chunxia coaxed.
Hengheng saw that Li Wanqing really didn't want it, so he pouted his lips in disappointment and said, "Okay."
Li Wanqing didn't breathe a sigh of relief until Hengheng followed Chunxia out.
