Seeing everyone looking over, Zhang said somewhat embarrassedly, "Actually, it's not an unreasonable request. It's just that, for our youngest son, besides studying and practicing martial arts, could his father take care of everything else? Second son, I don't mean anything by it, I just think your eldest brother is right, we can't let the title die out. It's not like before, when everyone grew up in the village and could distinguish the five grains. Now that the younger ones are doing well, I'm worried they won't recognize anything. Just studying and practicing martial arts isn't enough!"
“I saw Enzi asking the kitchen manager about the recent prices of rice and grain at the market. If it were before, Enzi would have known all about it. I was curious and asked Enzi, and he said it was homework assigned by his second uncle. I thought to myself, studying can't just be about reading; you still need to understand real life. So, I'll have the youngest son study and practice martial arts with his second uncle, and go to the fields with his father. That way, the title of Marquis of Huinong can be inherited by the youngest son.”
"What do you all think? Of course, I'm just a simple woman, and I don't know much. If my idea is wrong, just pretend you didn't hear it! Haha, hahaha..."
Seeing that everyone at the table had no expression, Zhang was still a little flustered.
She manages the Gu family's backyard and has tried her best to learn. She keeps in mind the principles of doing more and talking less, observing more and speaking less, and that trouble comes from the mouth.
“Mom, that’s absolutely right, I wholeheartedly agree. Second Uncle will definitely agree too, right, Second Uncle!” Gu Ren was the first to express his approval.
There was no other way; he was the second son of the Gu family. His older brother had inherited the Gu family's title, but no one had inherited his father's title yet. According to the order of succession, wouldn't it have to be him?
Unexpectedly, his unreliable parents realized he wasn't cut out for it and directly assigned him to be the youngest child. Very good, very good indeed!
"That's a pretty good idea. If we let Renren be the Marquis of Good Agriculture, he probably wouldn't even know how to distinguish between leeks and scallions!" Gu Shouxin didn't mind at all.
Moreover, he didn't plan to personally teach the younger children in his family like he did with Gu En; he simply didn't have that much time.
He only needs to review his studies every day; it's not like he can't find teachers for both academic and martial arts.
Even if things don't go well, these guys have four good brothers-in-law, and any one of them can teach others.
My brother-in-law isn't often at his wife's house, but Gu En, as the older brother, is always there, right?
Why did he go through all that trouble to teach Gu En in the first place? Wasn't it all for this moment?
Grandpa and Grandma Gu had no objections to this. In any case, the two elders only cared about the marriages of their four granddaughters. Even if the youngest couple had another daughter later, they were getting old and didn't know if they would live to see their youngest granddaughter get married.
Therefore, they should take care of their own affairs.
Uncle Gu had no problem with that, but he had a suggestion: "I see that the second son has assigned Enzi a lot of life-related lessons. Why don't we include all the younger ones, starting from next spring's planting season? Huihui, Niannian, and Enzi have all experienced things before, and these younger ones need to experience them too. Regardless of whether we're rich or poor, we must treat everyone equally, right? Fourth son, the one in your belly who can walk in the future must also be included. Oh, and Huihui and Niannian's child, boy or girl, must also be included when they reach the appropriate age. We can't let them be like Renren, who can't tell the difference between leeks and scallions."
Gu Ren: I can tell the difference!
