Suti knew that her grandfather wasn't really angry. The older generation liked to compare their descendants, but they always knew what they were saying.
Just like Baichuan, they don't consider themselves outsiders, which is why they dare to be so blunt about him being a latecomer.
Grandpa was unconvinced and wanted to drag her out to show off, because husband and wife are one, and her glory represents Baichuan's good judgment.
Well, as long as Grandpa is happy, that's all that matters. After all, the people he invited aren't just ordinary people, and those who can come aren't the kind of people who talk nonsense.
Seeing how happy her family was, Suti didn't want to stop them anymore. Even her grandmother was looking at her with excitement.
"I'll call your grandparents in a bit." Grandma Guo was overjoyed; her daughter was truly amazing.
"Yes, tell our in-laws and see if they have time. This is a big deal." In the old marshal's mind, this matter was just as important as his marriage and the birth of his child.
"Okay, I'll go right away." There was no phone where Su Ti and the others lived, but there was one on the other side of the street. Grandma Guo went inside to get her things and then went out.
Li Baichuan followed without his wife telling him to; his grandmother was old and they didn't feel comfortable letting her go out alone.
Seeing their great-grandfather and mother looking so happy, Chaochao and Hehe exchanged a glance and listened attentively.
At such a young age, they listen to the adults very seriously and know everything that happens in the family.
After the adults finished talking, they gathered around their mother.
"Mom, can you go to university now?" Chaochao didn't understand what a top scholar was, but he heard the words "first place".
He knew that first place meant the best, and he knew the tense atmosphere at home during the days his mother was taking the exam.
Then, after the exam, the adults seemed to have forgotten about it, but today they suddenly gathered together happily and started talking about it again.
Chaochao vaguely understood. She hadn't forgotten about it before; she only found out how her mother did on the exam today. Judging from their expressions, her mother must have done very well.
“Yes, Mom can go to university now.” Suti looked at Chaochao, seeing his thoughtful expression, waiting for him to ask something else.
"Mom, isn't going to university amazing? Isn't studying a great thing?"
It was the first time Chaochao had seen his family so excited, and he thought that he wanted to be like his mother in the future.
I'll take the exam, then go to university, and make my family happy.
"I guess so. It's not about being good at studying, but about studying well." Suti didn't give a yes or no answer.
Chaochao is more thoughtful than Hehe. If she says yes, he might think so in the future.
He's still young, we can't decide his path too early. Otherwise, if he has this kind of thinking, he might think that studying isn't important.
Thinking this, he squatted down again, looked into Chaochao's eyes, and carefully analyzed the situation for him.
"Chaochao, Mom thinks that learning is very important. On a small scale, it's like when you go out to buy things. If you don't recognize the words, then we can't even buy anything."
"Speaking of big things, like those toy wooden cannons you play with, haven't you seen the real ones at your uncle's place? Have you ever thought about who invented those things?"
"Aren't people who can invent things amazing? You need to study hard, not just study hard, but study it very well and become very good at it."
"But it doesn't mean that studying is very important or that going to university makes you great. Take my great-grandfather and father, for example. My great-grandfather's family was poor, so he only knew a few characters and didn't go to school much."
“But look how amazing Great-Grandpa is! And look at Dad, he has a job, he can drive a big truck, and he can earn a lot of money to buy delicious food for Chaochao and Hehe.”
“He can support this family, so isn’t he amazing? That’s why Mom says studying is important, but we are all different.”
"When you grow up and understand what you want to do, whatever it is, as long as you work hard, you will be the best."
Suti looked at the child seriously, not thinking that he was too young to understand anything and that he could be brushed off with a few words.
The dividing line between their families was too great; she did too well on the exams, while Baichuan couldn't even get into high school.
We shouldn't let our children think that studying is the only way to be successful, nor should we let them think that it's enough to just earn money like their fathers.
What suits them may not suit the two children.
"Mom, I understand. When I grow up, I will join the army. I think studying and making money are not the most important things. Being able to fight bad guys is the most important thing."
Before Chaochao could speak, Hehe, who had been listening attentively, spoke up.
"Mom, I understand. As long as I do something seriously and do it to the best of my ability, I am the best."
Chaochao looked at his younger brother. He didn't want to be a soldier, and he didn't know what he wanted to do, but his mother was right. As long as he did one thing well, he would be the best.
Just like Mom, if she gets first place in an exam, she's the best. Dad is also very good at driving big trucks.
My great-grandfather can beat up bad guys, he's really good. My grandfather can discipline others, he's also really good. My great-grandmother can cook lots of delicious food, she's really good too.
Chaochao thought about everyone in his family. Yes, he will be very good at what he likes in the future.
Looking at their confident demeanor, Suti thought, "Hmm, they're just like Baichuan in this respect; they become exceptionally confident with the slightest praise."
When Marshal Li and Qi Feng heard what Su Yatou said and saw how clever and cute the two little ones were, they were immediately struck by what they heard.
I truly believe how right our ancestors were when they said, "Marry a virtuous wife." A good wife brings prosperity to three generations.
With such an excellent mother guiding her, how could the child not be successful?
Then they thought that the child belonged to the Li family, and they felt a deep sense of pride. Even if they were to die now, they could rest in peace.
God has been kind to them. Although the first twenty years of their lives played a cruel joke on them, God has compensated them with something they are very happy with.
After Grandma Guo and Baichuan returned, the family gathered together for dinner.
In the small courtyard, there were sounds of children playing, a young couple whispering to each other, and people joking around while drinking.
The warmth of everyday life still touches people's hearts.
Suti and his group were mentally prepared, but the courtyard was still overrun by people from all sides eager to join in the fun.
Even the neighbors around here, who were just nodding acquaintances before, now have to exchange pleasantries for a long time when they meet.
Looking at this quiet and pretty girl, no one could believe that such a girl could stand out from the crowd.
He became the top scorer, and even a top scorer with a near-perfect score.
Nowadays, when people talk about women, they always say that women are just as capable as men, truly a role model of women holding up half the sky.
Suti eventually stopped going to the Ministry of Reform, and she didn't sell her job at that critical juncture.
I chose to resign and plan to rest at home for a while to prepare for the Chinese New Year.
