"Hahaha, my darling Xinxin, you didn't see wrong. That brat Li Muyan is someone I picked up, not someone I gave birth to. How could I, so young, possibly have such a grown son!" Madam Li laughed happily.
Gu Xin was stunned. I think I've found out something incredible.
Madam Li was amused even more by Gu Xin's sudden stunned and startled expression.
"Xiao Lian, Xiao Lian, come out quickly! Look at your daughter, she's so cute! Let's make a deal, can I borrow your daughter to take care of for a few days?" Madam Li took Gu Xin's hand and walked inside.
"Sister Luo, I won't lend my daughter. She's my precious darling!" Cai Xiaolian said with a smile as she walked out with Gu Nian.
"Oh dear, it's only for a few days! I'm so envious of you, having four beautiful girlfriends around you every day. Unlike me, sigh! Hey, where are Huihui and Sisi?" Madam Li asked, not seeing Gu Hui and Gu Si.
"They'll be here in a bit." Cai Xiaolian thought of the four women from the Meng family in the lab, as well as Meng Yan and Zheng Ling, and said, "By the way, Sister Luo, I'll introduce you to a few people later. They'll be accepting the shampoo and conditioner sets after this month, and they'll be handling all of them."
"Oh dear, we should have done this a long time ago! It would be so much more convenient to hire someone! My precious little ones shouldn't be tired every day," Mrs. Li said happily.
Cai Xiaolian led Madam Li to the laboratory, introduced her to the Meng family, and after everyone greeted her, they came out.
This time, Madam Li brought Li Muyan's new work with her. As before, Cai Xiaolian drew the blueprints and gave the explanations, and Li Muyan made the finished product.
"Wow! Mu Yan is amazing! He finished it so quickly! I thought he would have to study it for a long time!" Cai Xiaolian exclaimed in surprise as she took a look at the finished product.
She couldn't tell what the material was, but it was definitely practical.
"That kid, that's all he's got!" Madam Li said with a smile.
“Aunt Luo, last time you said that Brother Muyan was proficient in all six arts of a gentleman: music, chess, calligraphy, and painting! You also said that after he turns eighteen next year, he can participate in the imperial examination!” Gu Xin said.
Madam Li: "...Heh, really? Did I say that?"
Gu Xin nodded affirmatively: "Yes, you said that."
Mrs. Li scratched her head. Oh dear, my little Xin Xin is so serious! So cute! But how am I going to explain what I said to her?
Cai Xiaolian pulled Xinxin over and said with a smile, "Xinxin, your Aunt Luo is just being modest. Just like I often say that your sister is amazing in every way, but sometimes I still say, 'Oh, my eldest daughter, all she can do is cook.' Is your sister really just good at cooking?"
Gu Xin frowned and said seriously, "Mother, Aunt Luo, what you're doing is wrong. This isn't good for our child."
Madam Li and Cai Xiaolian looked at Gu Xin in surprise. How was this bad for the child?
Gu Nian had a premonition that her daughter, Xin Xin, was about to say that her uncle had mentioned...
Gu Xin said seriously, "My uncle said that children should be praised when they deserve it, and that we should be honest. If a child is good, they are good; if they are not good, they are not good. My uncle said that while people should be humble, that applies to themselves, not to children. If a child knows something, praise them and give them confidence. If they don't know something, encourage them and give them motivation. This is how children can grow up normally. Unconditional humility will make a child feel like they can't do anything. My uncle said that this is the experience he has gained from living for over thirty years and watching generation after generation of children in the village grow up."
