Chapter 404 405. Put the blame on someone
Gu Sanbu knew that the reason their village was highly regarded in this area was due to Gu Wenheng.
In addition, there are several tofu workshops in the village. If it weren't for Lao Qi backing them up, someone would have had the idea to do so long ago. How could the entire village live so well?
When he looked at Li Cuicui again, his eyes were particularly kind. Although Dashi was not a decent person, he married a good wife and was able to raise such a good son.
Li Cuicui felt a little uncomfortable when being looked at by her uncle. She quickly said, "My seventh son has always been thinking about the clan. He specially sorted out some books he had read before and asked me to bring them back this time. Then we can have more promising young people in the clan."
When she said this, she deliberately raised her voice high. Lao Qi did a good thing, and everyone should remember it.
Sure enough, everyone had a smile on their face. Now every household has a child studying in school with a scholar, and every family doesn’t want to have a promising person like Gu Wenheng.
Gu Sanbu was also very excited and said "good" three times in a row. Their Gu family was finally going to rise.
When he saw Li Cuicui open the carriage and saw four large wooden boxes almost occupying half of the carriage, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide.
His sons and grandsons all went to school, so he naturally knew better than anyone else how expensive these books were.
If it was just a few books, he wouldn't be disappointed, but he didn't expect the surprise to come so unexpectedly. Looking at the four boxes of books, he couldn't help but press his chest, "Are these all books?"
"Of course not," Li Cuicui didn't know that the old patriarch's heart was up and down because of her words. After taking a deep breath, she continued, "Two of the boxes are books, one box is paper, ink, brushes and inkstones,
As for the remaining box, it seems to contain things like abacus and account books. My wife said that she will send an accountant from the county town so that everyone can learn some skills such as math and bookkeeping. "
Gu Sanbu's eyes widened. These things were much more important than a box of books.
In fact, everyone understands that although they have high expectations for their children to go to school, not every child has the same talent for studying as Gu Wenheng.
Everything was fine when we first got to know each other, but as the article progressed, some children could no longer keep up.
Now that the seventh brother's wife has thought of this, it can be regarded as another good way out for these children.
"Great kindness," Gu Sanbu nodded repeatedly, "Not only is Old Seventh kind, but Gu Jinshi is also a kind person."
As he said this, he turned to look at the tribesmen who were here, "You must remember the contributions that Wen Heng and his wife have made to our tribe. Go back and supervise your own children. Now that there is an opportunity for them to study, you must seize it firmly.
Now that our village has such conditions, people around us have long been jealous.
Children should not be ungrateful for the good things they have. Even if it is for the sake of a better life in the future, they should work harder now.”
Everyone present agreed and made various assurances.
"If my kid doesn't study hard, I'll hang him on a tree when I get home."
"Me too. If I find out that he skips class again, I'll make him kneel at the entrance of the village for a whole day."
"Fortunately, our daughter is sensible and has been praised several times.
It's a pity that if she was a boy, maybe she could have earned me a job as a government official's wife."
"Then you should supervise your son who has just learned to walk. My kid is different. He gets praised every time. His father and I are full of energy to do anything. I just want to live a few more years so that I can enjoy the blessing of my son."
"No, my family..."
They were arguing heatedly, and everyone was comparing their own children.
The children sitting in the classroom listening to the class all shivered at this time, causing Zhou Xiucai, who was still lecturing, to frown. He walked over and closed the door tighter again. The weather was getting colder day by day, and it was estimated that the fire wall would be lit soon.
He can lead such a stable life now because of this job, so naturally he has to take good care of these children.
It seems that I should have a good talk with the clan leader when I get back, and it’s time to prepare some firewood.
After finally distributing all the gifts and seeing off the old patriarch, Li Cuicui opened her package when she was left with her family.
"Mom knows that you have been very filial over the years. It's rare for me to go out, so naturally I brought things for you."
Unlike the Juanhua given to the clan members, Li Cuicui was impartial and prepared a silver hairpin for each daughter-in-law. She even did not leave out Jin Qianqian and gave her one right away.
Looking at the various patterns of hairpins, the weights didn't differ much. Now that the families were wealthy, they naturally wouldn't be picky and just took one by one and left.
Wang Caiyue was playing with the hairpin in her hand, thinking that even this old woman was so generous, it seemed that their family was the poorest in the whole family.
She wanted to complain again, but when she looked at the sisters-in-law around her, she swallowed her words.
It would be difficult for her to deal with just one of them, let alone all of them gathered together this time. She is not stupid and does not want to get into trouble.
"Mom, where is Le Huan?" Gu Yuanmu waited until his mother had delivered all the things in her hands before asking anxiously.
Wang Caiyue finally realized that her eldest son had gone out with her mother-in-law. Why didn't she see anyone?
Li Cuicui, "Don't you have any idea about your own son?
Why did he follow me to the capital this time? Are you still trying to hide it from an old woman like me?"
Gu Yuanshui: "…" This move of my mother is really brilliant! She is so good at putting the blame on someone else. It seems that my and Lao Qi's smart brains are because they look like our mother.
Gu Yuanmu was completely at a loss. Didn't his child say that his brothers at home were all busy and he had nothing to do since he had just returned, so it was just the right time for him to stay with his grandmother and show his filial piety.
Wang Caiyue rolled her eyes. As a mother, how could she not know her son’s little thoughts?
But the boy was in no hurry to go home. No matter what, he had to finish the work in the pawnshop for that period of time. She began to have some guesses in her mind.
She also didn't want to leave the capital so early, so she let her eldest son do what he wanted.
After returning to Gaoling Village, she thought the matter was over and slowly put that suspicion behind her.
This time, Gu Lehuan took the initiative to ask to go to Beijing with them. She also wanted her child to spend more time with Lao Qi and the others. Maybe for the sake of Lehuan and the others, Lao Qi would be willing to lend a hand.
Now that his son has not returned, will he live with the seventh brother? And will the seventh brother find a good future for him?
When she thought of this, Wang Caiyue couldn't contain her joy, and it showed on her face.
