"Why are you bringing this up again? I haven't had a chance to tell your dad yet."
He Meizhu hesitated for a moment before answering.
It was obvious that her hesitation stemmed from not having made up her mind yet.
Gu Changzheng didn't press He Meizhu, but pretended not to notice, cut the poached egg open, and added some poached eggs to each of Sanbao's bowls.
After sitting back down in his seat, he continued, "Mom, the college entrance exam has been reinstated, and Jiaojiao will definitely have to go back to school. I'll take her to the city with me then."
As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at He Meizhu.
“I can take care of the children for a while, but I can’t keep taking care of them without earning money. If that happens, even if your daughter-in-law doesn’t mind your son, I will look down on myself.”
Given his and Jiaojiao's current situation, they absolutely need an elderly person to help take care of the child.
There are no relatives left in the Lu family, so we can't count on them.
The best solution is to rely on He Meizhu and Gu Jianhua.
He would be happy if they were willing to come to the city with him. If they really didn't want to go, then he would have to think of another way.
He Meizhu thought about it and felt a little troubled.
"Did Jiaojiao say she's going to school, Fourth Brother?"
“She didn’t say, but I want her to go to school,” Gu Changzheng replied.
Although his darling is incredibly infuriating, he still wants her to go to school.
She was born into wealth and beauty; it was impossible for her to live a life of seclusion in this village with him forever.
"I will also take the college entrance examination."
Gu Changzheng said another sentence.
This startled He Meizhu, who hadn't reacted much before.
"What? You're taking the college entrance exam too?"
"yes."
Gu Changzheng has thought it through.
Although his wife's methods of provoking him were easy to see through, she was right about one thing: you can't give up easily without trying.
Regardless of whether he could pass the exam, he would still participate.
At least I won't regret it later.
Moreover, his wife is so outstanding, and he wants to be a person worthy of her.
He Meizhu was stunned by Gu Changzheng's words. She hadn't expected that her son would also be taking the college entrance examination...
If it were a son and his wife, both of them would be in school, leaving no one to take care of the child. It seemed that she and Old Gu really had to make a decision.
He Meizhu sat there for a while, watching the three children finish breakfast and then follow their father out with their hats on, saying they were going to dig lotus roots. Only then did she get up and go home.
Gu Jianhua did not return at noon.
The team is very busy right now, and he didn't return from outside until evening.
After preparing the meal, He Meizhu hesitated for a long time before finally expressing her thoughts.
"Hey Lao Gu, I'm thinking of going to the city with your youngest son and daughter-in-law, what do you think?"
"What?"
Gu Jianhua, who was washing his hands, thought that his son and daughter-in-law were going back to the city to visit relatives again. Since the two of them couldn't take care of three children, he asked Lao He to help take care of them.
He nodded.
"Of course."
He Meizhu: "I mean, I will live with my son and daughter-in-law from now on, and take care of their children."
"What do you mean?"
Gu Jianhua then realized that he might have misunderstood something.
"You're only in your fifties, Lao He. Don't you want to work anymore and are thinking about letting your children support you in your old age?"
"..."
He Meizhu didn't want to talk to Gu Jianhua at all, and even rolled her eyes at him twice.
Gu Jianhua was completely dumbfounded by the glare.
He reached up and touched his head, looking at He Meizhu suspiciously. "Did I say something wrong?"
"No, you're right. I'm just too lazy to work. Now my youngest son wants me to enjoy life with them. If I don't go and enjoy life with them, why should I work?"
He Meizhu answered angrily.
Even if Gu Jianhua was slow to notice, he could tell from He Meizhu's words that she was unhappy.
He touched his hair and said, "No, Lao He, let's talk things out. You can't be so willful and throw a tantrum like a child, right?"
Gu Jianhua does a good job at work, but he's still a bit slow to react when it comes to family matters. Fortunately, although He Meizhu doesn't like it, she still explains the current situation to Gu Jianhua in detail.
When Gu Jianhua heard that his son and daughter-in-law were both going to take the college entrance examination, he nodded in agreement without hesitation.
“Go, you should go and take care of their children.”
“Going to school is great! We’ve been looking forward to the college entrance exam for so long, and everyone who has the opportunity to take it should do so. Our son and daughter-in-law have this idea, and as parents, we should give them our full support.”
If Gu Jianhua weren't too old to remember current knowledge, he would even want to take the college entrance examination.
So when he learned that his son and daughter-in-law were going to participate, he was extremely supportive.
I wish I could send He Meizhu next door right now so she could help take care of the children.
He Meizhu glanced at the impatient Gu Jianhua with disdain and said, "We have four sons in our family. I was just wondering if taking care of the fourth son's child would make his brothers talk about him."
"What are you saying? How have Fourth Brother and Huaijiao treated us all these years? Haven't you felt it? How dare they say that?"
Gu Jianhua may not say it out loud, but he understands things perfectly well.
They are all sons, but it is undeniable that only the fourth son, when doing things with his wife, will always think of the two old men.
He wasn't saying that his other three sons had to be as filial to them as Gu Changzheng was.
